Chapter 11

• My joints burned in pain the moment I rolled myself into a sitting position, fuck.
• I forced myself to the bathroom after a few minutes of just sitting in bed, my head as well as my joints protested painfully but I ignored it all as I splashed water on my face and neck. The eyes that glared back at me from the full length mirror in the bathroom were bloodshot and swollen.
• I looked like crap and I didn’t even care. It was 06:00am and I had to be at the office because I had a meeting at around 07:00am which can’t be shifted to a different schedule since I already had the whole day booked with schedules from weeks ago. I was supposed to close a deal with a company in Spain and hopefully celebrate it by taking my siblings out on a dinner date tonight, but that’s not happening now since my brother is being held hostage and his twin got shot at.
