Chapter 83
—3Yrs Ago(Before Jail)—
\[Crescent Hospital, California\]
Warren has had the determination to become a surgeon since he was young, and he stood on it, throughout elementary and highschool.
He was the best student, and he could already perform surgeries before he even finished highschool.
This talent made Elder Creed register him in Crescent hospital as a resident doctor after he finished highschool.
During that time, he was preparing to take entrance exams into ILC, so he's meant to spend a year in the hospital to gain more experience before he'd get his college admission.
He was more than happy to observe surgeries in the hospital which increased his abilities, but he didn't only observe surgeries, he observed something else.
That hot afternoon, he came out of a washroom where he cleaned up after a surgery, and he got a text from Konstantin.
Konstant: War, I swear to gawd, Kelsey is cheating on you. I saw her. Break up with this bitch!
Warren pocketed his phone and walked out of that place.
He knows his girlfriend isn't a loyal one though she tries hard to act loyal, but he sees through her.
The only reason he hasn't broken up with her is because the girl he wants is still young.
When he got to the wide hallway, a girl blocked him, and he stopped.
"Hi, my name is Evelyn Ortega, and I've been coming here for some months now" she smiled.
"I know" he simply replied.
"You do?" She blinked.
"It's too obvious, and I've been observing you. You always come with your two friends, and you secretly follow me around everytime" he smartly replied.
"I came with them today too..." Evelyn replied, signalling behind her.
Nadine and Ixora joined them, and while Nadine waved at him, Ixora couldn't even look him in the eye.
"This is Nadine" Evelyn pointed.
"And she's Ixora" Evelyn pointed too, and Warren looked at Ixora for a little bit long.
"The thing...is...I like you like a lot" Evelyn flatly said.
"I don't like you" Warren replied flatly too.
"What!" Evelyn's eyes widened.
Rejection isn't in the list of her expectations...she's beautiful.
"Aren't y'all sixteen?" Warren questioned.
"And you're twenty, just four years difference...age is only but a number yunno" Evelyn said.
"I still... don't like you Evelyn" Warren insisted bluntly.
Some passing nurses heard that and laughed out, covering their mouths.
"I can't believe you...jerk!!" Evelyn yelled at his face, rushing off.
"Evie!!" Nadine and Ixora rushed after her, but just when they were about to exit, Ixora looked back.
Her bright eyes met with Warren's, and he smiled at her.
She quickly faced front, rushing out.
—Present Time—
As the drugs forced the memory back into Warren's head, his eyes opened back, and his head refused to reboot.
He punched his car window, crashing the glass.
His knuckles bled, and his eyes brightened as more of the multicolored liquid poured out.
He punched the second window, shattering it too before growling out like an animal.
He came out of the car, holding his head with an hand as he sauntered out of the park.
He left the park completely, going into the vast city of Capetown as his head continued stinging.
The world felt new.
The air felt foreign.

\[California, Hideaway\]
Konstantin's steps halted when he saw what's going on, and he gave himself the calmness he normally wouldn't have.
Nadine's tears shone on her face, and Serena gave her another knock which made her wince, crying out again.
The laughing guys increased their laughter, and at the same time, they're still snapping Nadine.
Kelsey already joined them in snapping her pictures too, so no one is idle in the bunch.
Konstantin resumed his walk, his blonde hair moving like it was paid to move with every move he makes.
They didn't hear his footsteps at all since it's silent, but when he arrived at their midst, they knew.
He took the phone of the tall guy making videos and smashed it on the ground, then he picked one of the large screen pieces and rammed it into the neck of that one.
His neck veins bursted, and his blood stained konstantin's face and his white shirt, spraying like red dye.
Nadine shockingly covered her mouth on the ground.
Serena and Kelsey made to run off, but he dragged the two of them back, slamming their heads on the wall and letting them go unconsciously before facing the remaining guys.
He threw them a knife, and the first one shakily caught it.
"Take turns to stab each other" he said, and Nadine spranged up.
The guys swallowed emptiness at the same time.
"If I do the stab by myself, you'll be gone from the surface of the earth within a minute" he said.
The one with the knife quickly faced the other, and the fear of Konstantin's threat made him stab his partner quickly.
The partner growled, his blood draining as he struggled to remove the knife.
Nadine is still watching, and her hands are still over her mouth.
The partner finally removed the knife from his bleeding stomach and stabbed the first guy too.
They both staggered off, holding their bleeding stomachs as their blood drained to the ground.
Konstantin got another small knife from his pocket, it's like he's selling the blades or something.
He squatted beside Serena and brought the knife down on her hand—the same hand she knocked Nadine's head with.
Immediately the knife penetrated, Serena cried out of her unconsciousness, the sound ululating.
Konstantin inhaled, looking at the body on the ground before looking at his stained white shirt.
"Knew this party wouldn't end well, now who are the parents of this dîck?" He muttered, calling an ambulance for him.
The ambulance arrived shortly, and after he was taken away, Konstantin turned to face Nadine who's already shivering, her fear escalating.
He looked at her bleeding palm, and he took her wrist, pulling her inside.
He could feel her shakiness through the arm he's holding, and as he pulled her, Serena watched from the ground with another cry.
Konstantin dragged Nadine into the hideaway, taking her upstairs to Warren's door.
"Stay here" he muttered, going inside and coming back a minute later with a balm and patch.
He took her to the rails, and she hardened her bones as he began applying the balm on her palm.
It stings, so she had to close her eyes, and when Konstantin looked up to see her eyes closed, he smirked, then he continued his application.
After that, he pasted a patch on the palm, and she opened her eyes.
"Thank you" she said slowly.
"I told you to wear something freaky" He said, taking a cursory look at her dress.
"Sorry...i don't like... short things, and it's—"
"Don't say sorry, I hate it" he cut her off, and she took her two lips in.
He stared deeply at her lashes, but she kept her face down, giving him a full view of the flower in her hair.
He was about to touch it when Capri came out.
