Fated Love part 2

Years after the disappearance of the young master, the Alexandro family has never been at peace again. Conflict erupted as everyone fought for the position of the heir to the family and control over the cartel.

In a small village, a young man was seen taking a stroll, eyes especially that of the young women followed him with admiration, but he paid no attention to them. As dusk settled, he returned home, the aim of his stroll unfulfilled.

"Good evening Grandma"

Mitchell greeted the old woman who saved his life years ago.

"And where have you been" Grandma asked her voice filled with concern. Mitchell who didn't have the strength for Grandma's questioning just causally said

"I went to the spot where you found me"

with that been said he left without waiting for Grandma to say a word. While going to his room, he bumped into Clara, Grandma Eve's grand daughter.

"Are u blind or are you trying to get my attention you four eyes"

Mitchell said with disgust and annoyance clear in his expression.

"Why are you always grumpy, Mitchell?

Clara shot back

"So you know , I'm not the one who made you loose your memory so get that into your thick skull" Clara said.

Grandma could only watch their bickering from afar and she didn't say a word. Grandma Eve went back to her room, made a cup of herbal tea and sipped it while her mind drifted back to the day she saved Mitchell from the people who were after his life.

Flashback;

Two year earlier, a young handsome man ran frantically in the thick forest.

"Kill him immediately you catch a glimpse of him!"

Mitchell heard the leader of the goon commanding his colleagues. He couldn't run again because he was shot on his leg.

"Hahahaha look who we'hv got guys" a dirty looking man with his protruding belly said.

"Let me go and I will pay you double of what your boss paid you" Mitchell tried to bargain with them

"We don't want your money you arrogant bastard, we want your life. Our boss instructed us to make sure you don't see the light of the next day and that we shall do".

Mitchell was contemplating on the next thing to do when a thought crossed his mind.

"Ahhhhhh" they all screamed after Mitchell poured sand into their eyes. As he was about running, he didn't take note of the shallow valley thus, he fell into it, landing on his head. Everything became blurry and gradually, he drifted into coma.

When the leader of the goon saw this, he ordered that they should go search for his body. When they got down there, they saw the lifeless and breathless body of Mitchell and they smiled with great joy in their hearts, the leader quickly phoned the boss.

"Mrs Gomez we have killed the young master as you instructed" the leader said.

At the other end of the phone, a woman in her late forties was smiling with malice clearly seen in her eyes, staring at the young master's picture.

In the evening, Grandma Eve and Clara were done plucking herbal plants when they heard groans coming from the valley.

"Grandma I think someone is in pain"

Grandma Eve closely paid attention and they heard the sound again. Moving closer, they saw a young man drenched in his own blood groaning in pains. Along the path, they saw imprints of different boots and it dawned on them that the man's life wasn't safe. Luckily for them, they saw a big barrow that could fit Mitchell so they put him in and wheeled him to the village. Ignoring the questioning stares, Clara wheeled him to their house.

Grandma Eve quickly made a herbal medicine which she started using on him. Four days later, Mitchell regained consciousness.

"Grandma!!! he's awake"

"Young lady stop screaming in my ears"

"What an annoying man" Clara thought inwardly. Grandma was so happy she gently caressed his hair which was soothing the little pains he felt while trying to stand up.

"What happened to me I feel pains"

"Calm down dear, you will be fine.You just need some rest and my herbal medicine and you will be good as new" Grandma Eve reassured him

Mitchell found the woman so warm and comforting. The excruciating pain disturbed that warm feeling

"It hurts so bad"

Mitchell said tightening his eyes to forget the pain but it still persisted. After a while, grandma gave him a pain reliever which eased the pain. When he woke up, his mind started wondering but it could only form blur images.

"I see you're awake again. How are you feeling?" Grandma asked

"I feel much better I guess". Something caught the attention of Grandma. It was the name written on his shirt "Mitchell Al...

the other half of the name was broken so, she couldn't pronounce the name completely.

"Your name is Mitchell??"

she asked. At the mention of the name he started seeing blur images of a man buh he couldn't pinpoint who exactly it was.

Present;

"Grandma grandma" the voice of Clara brought grandma back to reality."What is the matter my dear?"

"Grandma it's Mitchell. The pains are back again and he's refusing to take the herbs"

Grandma hurriedly went to Mitchell's room and the sight in front of her made her heart ache. Mitchell was seen crouching and groaning in pains. Clara who watched helplessly, couldn't bare it anymore and impulsively hugged him from behind. After a while, Clara was about withdrawing her hands when Mitchell held it still. She had no choice but to stay still.

Seeing the tender moment, Grandma quietly left. Mitchell slowly turned around and all he could see was a cute plumpy girl with innocent eyes.
