PHOSPHENE: Your Other Side

Bitter Reality

Prahaaang... A loud sound rang out from the falling ceramic flower vase. Michael and Linda spontaneously approached the source of the sound. And looking up at the stairs they were surprised to find Anna standing with a pale face.

Soon Michael climbed the stairs worried that Anna would fall.

" Anna.. Since when are you.."

Anna brushed off Michael's hand violently and took a few steps back.

" You.. Are you really a human being? How could you do that to us.. Aaakkh.."

Anna hysterically learns that Michael is the killer of her family.

" Anna.. Listen to my explanation."

" I've heard everything. You're killers.. I hate you."

Srui. Michael knelt down in front of Anna.

" Please forgive me. Don't hate me."

Michael said with tears flowing.

" Do you think that by giving me life you can atone for killing my parents. You even made me forget them because of your presence. I didn't know that the father I've loved all along turned out to be a terrible person."

Anna was devastated at this moment, she expressed all disappointment towards Michael.

While Michael he just lowered his head and continued to beg for Anna's forgiveness.

" I hate your father. But I hate you and your mother. Everything that happened was my fault but I didn't expect you and your mother to be wretched."

" But everything has happened, and you can't give them back either. From now on you are no longer my father, I will live as I see fit and you will live in guilt. That's your punishment."

The cruel words that came out of Anna's mouth were very painful to Michael. However he could do nothing, the man still continued to kneel even though Anna left him.

Linda who witnessed Anna's departure looked at the girl with worry.

Anna runs the car after retrieving the key with Michael's credit card.

From his face looks full of anger, he runs a car on a small road at high speed. Sometimes she wiped away the tears that blocked her view.

Anna suddenly stopped as she could no longer hold her chest tightness. She cried remembering all the words she said to Michael. His heart ached as his father knelt in front of him, but he knew Michael was a man who always kept his pride.

After feeling calm, Anna returned to drive her car to her destination city.

In the garden behind the mansion, Jeffrey was busy enjoying coffee while feeling the morning sun was still warm.

As for Julia and Laura, they went together to shop since morning.

Just as he was about to take a sip of his coffee, Noah approached with a matted face.

Jeffrey, who had guessed the direction of Noah's conversation, tried to calm down by avoiding his question.

" What do you mean? Oh.. About you working with the FBI to thwart our enemy's plans? Or are you looking for evidence of their crimes and reporting them?."

In a satirical tone Jeffrey dismantled Noah's plan behind him.

" It's not about Anna, you killed her family, is it?"

Noah's creepy cold face did not make his father flinch. He replied by looking hard at her.

" Killing was our job long ago why should you be surprised."

" You know you killed his parents but you pretended to accept it. Your words to her back then were nothing but nonsense."

" Then I had to get rid of him when I found out he was a survivor of the accident I was behind. He's not a threat to me so I don't have to do that anyway he left you."

" How did you... "

Jeffrey chuckled at the confusion on Noah's face.

" I asked her foster father, Ryan to take her away and I threatened to kill her son if he was still by your side."

Noah's face hardened even more, he clenched his hands with all his might not believing his father's words.

" Can you just let me be happy once. Until when will you use me to fulfill your ambition."

Noah's loud voice sounded like the sky was rumbling. Jeffrey was a little jolted about it.

" You forgot I gave you everything you have now. Without me you're probably dead just like your mother."

Without tears Noah fell on his angry face. His head hurt but he held it.

" I never wanted any of this. I only wish you sincere affection, I thought you would raise me like your own son instead of being a substitute for your dead son and make me into you."

Jeffrey let out a rude sigh, Noah who had always followed his orders began to rebel and even bring up the past they buried.

" What made you turn out like this. Don't tell me because of that girl."

" Yes, it was he who made me change and go back to remembering the identity of myself I had forgotten. I'm not a robot you can control all you want. Because now I'm the leader of the Phoenix I can do anything and you can't prevent me."

Noah turned around and wanted to leave. Jeffrey's voice stopped his steps.

" What are you going to do."

Noah turned his back on Jeffrey.

" You wait and see. If you're careless then your destruction will come soon."
