Meet 14-year-old Ignatius Lim, in his fight for his dream since he was 8 for his loving brother, Jeremy Lim.
It was the year 2012. The Lim brothers were playing their favourite sport, basketball, at the spacious basketball court near their house. However, Ignatius, who was distracted by the golden-brownish-furred cat nearby, missed the ball his 11-year-old brother threw to him.
The ball bounced back to Jeremy, who was facing away from the road.
"I'll get it! I'll be back in a jiffy!" Jeremy chirped as he ran after the ball.
The ball was heading towards Cityvale Street.
"I should hurry up, my brother is waiting for me. It has been such a long time since weve had a training session, I better not waste a single second."
Jeremy dashed out. All he could see was the ball, the one thing that constituted of his and Ignatius' dream.
Ignatius sighted a white BMW driving at a high speed towards where his brother was running towards, who was ignorant of the oncoming danger.
"Wait, no, Jeremy, STOP!"
Jeremy held onto the ball, grinning while turning back his head to look at his brother. But the horn, its urgency and desperation, drew his attention.
Ignatius ran, but all he saw next was horrifying.
He heard the thump of a body, the screech of the car, and the bounce of the ball as it travelled down the street, oblivious of the trouble it had caused.
All was too late.

BOOK 1 - PARANOID - and it's hard to sleep at night." He scratched his neck. "Only God alone knows what I done last night and that shit makes me paranoid". "What did you do last night". I finally spoke up, feeling comfortable to ask. He ignored the question. "If I slip, I slide." That must be why he can't tell me I thought to myself. "I wonder if that girl fuckin wit my enemy and it got me wondering if she'd try kill me too." He shook his head. "Shit and if dem niggas caught me off guard I wouldn't know wat I'd do." I didn't say anything by listen to this young man. "I bleed they bleed." He mumbled looking straight ahead. "They follow, I lead". His eyes gotten dark now, staring straight at me as if he were blood thirsty. He had almost a smirk on his face... almost like.. almost like the devil. "They say karma is a bitch.." he trailed off. "And even after he's dead". He paused. "That's why". He paused again. "Paranoid". He shook his head, chuckled a little and got up and left. I sat there defeated and finally called the doctor. "Herbert Wright... His symptoms gotten worse". BOOK 2 - KARMA I felt a burning sensation. I touched my chest, where my heart is and raised up my hand to see that it was blood. I looked up to see the figuree standing over me with fear, hurt and hatred in their eyes. "I love you Herbert". She began sobbing. I recognised the voice. "But I am my brothers keeper". I began shaking my head quickly as she pointed the pistol gun at me. I tried to talk but I couldn't. The words wouldn't come out. I was dead already. Tears started streaming down her face now. "It was either you or us." She waved the gun about now wiping her tears, looking down at her stomach "That thing called Karma ain't a bitch like me". She mumbled clicking the pistol. My eyes rolled back and then.. "BANG". Unconscious but conscious. The once black figure removed its mask exposing that it's -. - 2 BOOKS IN 1 -Complete

"Evelyn-" Grayson's arm wraps around my arm and I'm tugged back, flipping around to face him. "What the fuck do you want Grayson?" My harsh voice echos in the empty, open hallway. "God, I dont know what you want me to do. I have tried everything to get you to forgive me." He takes a sharp breath when I pull a knife out of my pocket and hold it to his stomach. "You really want to know why I haven't forgiven you?" He stares down at me blankly and gives a short nod. "Because you took the one thing I hoped you would care for." I press the knife ever so slightly more into his skin, causing only a small reaction from Grayson. His jaw clenches before he speaks. "And that is?" I shake my head at how stupid he is. You would think the taker of the Valor family business would be smarter. But no. I use my free arm to grab his tie and tug on it, leaning him down. He was so close to me.
