Chapter 02

SAINT’s POV

I quickly stopped my car in front of the house of Hiro Tanaka, one of my close friends. There is a clinic inside his house because he is a Japanese-Filipino Doctor, and he owns that clinic.

This house is also the first house I pass in the village before I get to my house.

I removed the seat belt I was wearing and then quickly glanced at the woman riding in the passenger seat of my car, where she was now sleeping soundly.

I roughly slapped her face to wake her up; I'm not a gentleman; she must know it first.

She immediately opened his eyes, and our eyes met.

"Get out of the car," I said to her in a cold tone. I didn't even wait for her to speak more, so I got out of my car first.

All the lights in Hiro's house are already off because it's past midnight, but I know he's still inside, so I ring the doorbell several times.

I felt from behind that the woman approached my side, so I gave her a gaze. Her bruises welcomed my sight.

Damn! That's pretty hurtful.

It looks like she did a lousy job with the man who wanted to kill her— I mean, Helmer.

I know Helmer because I was about to go to his place when this girl blocked my car. I really had no intention of going to him today, but he just forced me, luckily— I had a reason not to go anymore.

He's not my friend; he's my enemy, but we were acquainted.

Her clothes are wet, muddy, and dirty.

The hem was damaged, and there were blood stains on her white clothes. Her lips cracked, and some parts of her face were almost black because it was starting to bruise badly.

Tsk! This is what I hate about Helmer. If he wanted to kill this lady, he should have shot her in the head so there would be no more trouble, right?

One shot would have done it all, but look what happened. This girl escaped. So stupid!

After a while, the door opened, and Hiro came out. He quickly stared at me before looking at the woman next to me.

"Treat her," I commanded and didn't wait for Hiro to answer. I completely entered his house and left them outside.

I went to his kitchen, got some wine, and quickly drank it.

"S-sit down. Do you want to drink? I'll get you some water." I heard Hiro softly say to the woman.

I just shook my head. How can he be that kind? DAMN! Being kind is equal to being a loser, right?

I heard Hiro's footsteps approaching the kitchen until he finally entered, and our eyes immediately met. He quickly came to my side.

"What's that trouble you got in now, Saint?" He whispered, maybe fearing that the woman heard him.

He was getting water from his fridge while I still drank my wine.

"She's just lucky that she saw me earlier and called for help because if not, the worms on the ground would have feasted on her," I answered Hiro without emotion as I sat on the stool.

"You mean, you're not the one who did that to her?" He asked again, but I didn't answer him. "Well, is she really lucky you are the one she asked for help? Or maybe you're even worse."

I knew what he was pointing out, so I couldn't help but grin.

"When I can get benefit from her, she is lucky. But if I can't get anything out of her, I'll return her to Helmer, or worst, I can be the one to kill her," I answered him and just drank again.

Hiro just shook his head at what I said, and without a word, he left the kitchen to go to the girl outside carrying a glass of water.

I continued drinking until I got fed up and decided to go out.

They were not in the living room now; that's why I went straight to the second floor where the clinic was. I was so familiar with his place that I had no trouble finding them.

The door of his clinic is open, so I don't need to knock.

I went inside and saw the woman sitting on the solo bed while Hiro sat on the bench facing the woman and cleaning her wounded lips.

I leaned against the door while watching them.

"What is your name?" I asked the girl nonchalantly.

She threw a gaze and stared at me for a few seconds before shaking her head, and I couldn't help but frown at that.

"I- I don't have a name," she said weakly.

I couldn't help but smirk in annoyance and asked her a threatening question, "Are you kidding me or fooling me?"

I don't have fucking time for such jokes. I have too little patience, especially with weak women like her.

"I-I'm not. I'm telling the truth. I don't have a name. B-because, I don't remember anything. I just woke up in the club, and they called me Deianira or Dein. I don't remember anything, my name, age, where I live, and who my family is, nothing at all," she explained.

"Do you know that you are facing a doctor now? He can tell if you're telling the truth or just lying," I said, referring to Hiro.

Hiro glanced at the girl before looking at me.

"Maybe she was in a state of shock, so she almost lost her memories, Saint. Right now, it's better if you don't ask her any questions first so that her mind can rest and she won't get confused," Hiro explained.

I didn't say a word anymore and straightened up from standing.

"I'll just wait in the car. If you're done treating her, then prescribe her some medicines too. I'll take her home," I said to Hiro. I didn't wait for him to answer and turned around to go downstairs.
