Drift Beyond Parallel : Chapter 23

 “Impressive wait until you know what actually tempted Zander…my beloved son to kill your scum brother Iris” noun Reza with ultimate rancid. 

Upon hearing those menacing words Tia’s begins to tremble but she tried to remain as composed as possible.. not to give in to fear especially in front of those barbaric beings. “Nothing you say will deter my courage..”

Reza laughed in an insulting manner and said “Personally I felt that all those unruly tragedies that had happened to your family is the full force of karma..”

Reza took a few step forward towards Tia and noun coldly. “Zander indeed had pushed Iris off the building. And you want to know for what reason?”

“Enough father..don’t hurt her anymore.. she don’t have to know..” cried Zander.

“Stop being so noble Zander and look what does that lead you to?” Mock Reza. “Zander pushes Iris off the building due to deeply rooted vengeance..”

“You are lying..” exclaimed Tia sharply.

“Hmmm..I applauded my son for doing that part for me though..because your brother had merciless brutalise my daughter and killed her..” cried Reza ferociously.

“No.. I don’t believe it ..Iris is incapable of doing such hideous things..” marks Tia as stinging tears begins to form in her eyes.

“Tell me it’s not true Zander?” Noun Tia tearfully. “Tell me?” 

“Be out with the truth son?” Jest Reza..

“Please forgive me Tia..whatever he did to my sister is sadly but the truth..” utters Zander sorrowfully. “I don’t want to believe it either but..”

“And you pushed him off the building? You killed my brother?” Asked Tia as her sorrow had transcend to flaming resentment.

Zander remained unspoken with heart wrenching thoughts begins to cuff his soul. 

“Hmmm, I guess that’s makes it even…you may slain Zander if that’s the obligation for you to commit ..because Zander has indeed breaks my heart and just by looking at his pathetic sight, he’s of no used to me anymore..unlike Cade an exact replica of me” prompt Reza in such menacing manner.

With the sword still in her hand, Tia slowly turns her sight towards Zander. Her gaze was full of haunting and chilling intensity.


Few Hours Before Iris Death..


Getting closer to end this..”

“I’m not giving in without a fight..”

“Threatening to burn down my household? They have indeed crosses the line now..they are calling their death and death is coming to them soon..” those chilling messages from Iris, which Zander had received few days before Iris apparently went missing.

Until on that unfortunate day, Zander received another message from Iris. “Mika’s in trouble..his mother is dead.. and Mika wanted to end it all..he wanted suicide. I’m meeting him at Cody Building around the corner of Caelum Street..I need to stop him. One last thing Zander, if anything bad happens to me..please remember your oath..”

Without second thoughts Zander quickly give a call to Iris to yet again warn him. “Iris, you got to listen and believe me..Mika is bad news..leave that building and abort that so call mission of yours..”

However Iris simply hung up much to Zander dismay.

Zander knew he need to do something to safe Iris from this despicable lad messing with his thoughts and emotions.

Upon reaching high up the roof top of that nineteenth storey building, there he saw Iris pacing back and forth looking frantic and anguish.

“Iris..look he’s not here.. see it’s nothing. We should get back to our dents..” coax Zander.

“No! They must have took him .. Reza’s dogs had killed his mum..now he’s after that poor kid..” cried Iris in desperation tone.

Zander saw so much pressure and unsettling manner shrouding Iris form. “You need to let it go..your involvement with this boy has drastically change you..”

But Iris who seems to be in such chaotic and self denying state begins to question Zander’s truth intention. “Why are you so against him? Each time when I ask that question, you will either avoid answering me or simply brush it off. Or probably you may have done something terrible to Mika, that’s why he’s not here with me right now..”

“For God sake. Alright you really want to know the truth?” Cried Zander furiously. “Mika is my half brother.. his real name is Cade.. he’s the son of Reza..”

“You are lying..” roared Iris as he charged towards Zander in such forceful manner, however Zander managed to avoid Iris blows and roughly thrust him away from his front, causing Iris to almost stumble off from the building.

“You are getting too far edge of the building Iris..come back here..” warned Zander as he step nearer towards  Iris.

Suddenly, there were few shattering gun shot..and to Zander’s horror he felt such tremendous pain corroding his nerves and balance. Upon that unnerving moment, he saw Iris had move further away from him but just a step nearer to the edge of the building..

“Iris..” Cried Zander faintly but due to his pain and startling outcome ..he had accidentally pushed Iris off the building, causing him to fall tragically to his death.

Zander cried out Iris name in such agony wailed as he felt his wounds began to manifest his nerve to a breaking point. He felt burning and stinging pain upon the back of his shoulder, spine and calf. His saw pool of blood engorging from his body, pooling around him. Zander felt on his knees as he struggle to strain his sight towards that ruthless being. And to his dread, it was Cade…


With her eyes staring wildly upon Zander helpless sight, Tia took the form of an unexpected fury as she brings the sword high above her head. In a swift manner, Tia turn abruptly towards Reza instead and violently stride his neck with the sword, causing him to choke with terror as blood gush out in rancid flow out from his deep laceration wound.

“Father..” yelled Cade as he pulled out his gun and aim it straight to Tia’s heart. 

However, Tia felt her weigh has been pulled away from that shooting by a pair of weak but firm grip. Zander had saved her, but to her fretful plight, he had took that bullet..

“Zander..” cried Tia tearfully as she held him close in her arms.

Cade not wanting to give up his fight as he inch closer next to Tia with the gun pointing to her head.. “For my father’s sake..”

However, before the trigger was pulled, Tia saw Cade scramble down to the ground with a terrifying wail.

“I never like that kid..” mark Ian as he rolled back that long whip back to his palm. Eventually Ian had cleverly whip out the gun off from Cade’s hand with the whip.

Cade continues to growl and moan in pain as that lashing had pitifully breaks his fingers. “I will make sure you will be sent to a good juvenile home for the rest of your life Cade..” marks Ian..

And soon, more of Zander’s companions had enrolled themselves to Reza’s collapse triad.


Tia still holdups to Zander’s frail form in her arms as he begins to pale away. “Zander..please look at me in the eyes..tell me you never love me..tell me I mean nothing to you..tell me it’s a lie. I know I’m not worthy to be with you..why the hell do you need to take that bullet?”

Zander smile faintly as he places his hand upon Tia’s head, and bring her face closer next to him.. “Because I’ve always love you silly..from the moment I set my eyes on you..” with those words he pulls Tia’s cast and places his lips upon hers, pleasuring her with his soft gentle kisses.

“Ahh..he will be fine..” mark Ian with a smirk..
