Disha treaded aimlessly, navigating the corridors of the hospital's VIP section with her mind fixed on the young master's shirt button.
The more she reflected, the more it seemed akin to the button her mother had saved.
Various possibilities began to swirl in her mind, the most likely being that her family's enemy was somehow connected to a man named Rayden Carter.
Family? Or possibly a business associate. What Disha needed to know now was how this man had come into possession of the same button as her family's foe.
Unwilling to drown in her conjectures, that night Disha made her way towards her mother's room. Stealthily approaching and then entering the principal director's office of Medistra Hospital.
Disha held a copy of the key to that room.
"Huh," Disha exhaled in relief, realizing no one had witnessed her entry.
Without delay, she locked the door again and searched for what she required.
As far as she remembered, her mother kept that button in the safe within this office. Disha quickly knelt before her mother's desk, opened a drawer, and saw a medium-sized safe deposit box.
Disha keyed in the safe's password rapidly, the obvious code being her own birthdate.
To her confirmation, the safe was indeed unlocked, and she smiled faintly. Opening it, she scrutinized the contents.
Finally, she found what she was searching for; a shirt button that was the sole clue regarding their family's adversary.
"Yes, it's identical, this button matches the one that man had. But how is that possible? Clearly there must be a connection between them, but what? No, I can't puzzle over this alone. I need to uncover the truth, to make everything clear," murmured Disha, her hand tightening around the shirt button.
To reintegrate into her extended family, Disha must find that scoundrel, capture him, and settle scores. If he remained elusive, her life would continue thus, forever known as an outsider, not as part of the Dude family.
Her life was truly in disarray, forced to be oppressed to avoid drawing attention to her true identity.
Disha decided to keep her discovery hidden from her parents. She would handle this matter alone. Revealing it to her mother would only cause worry and likely result in a prohibition against taking any action. For her parents, Disha's safety was paramount.
That night, Disha took the button with her. She ascended to the hospital roof and contacted someone in the dark.
Soon her phone was answered.
"Odette," said Disha, a code name that allowed her access to the world’s Hacker network.
"Yes, Miss," replied a man at the end, where Odette was a favorite member of the leader, Darco, who directed DarkWeb, the most feared Hacker team in the underworld market. Disha once saved Darco from death, earning her an exclusive access there.
"Tell Darco, I need all the information on the Carter family. Not a detail missed."
"Understood, Miss. You will have the information shortly."
Afterwards, Disha terminated the call, exhaling raggedly.
She was resolute about investigating it all; the only way was to await Rayden's conscious state and extract every bit of information.
The Carter family name wasn't unfamiliar to Disha, yet she couldn't ascertain who exactly the man was.
Ever since the assassination attempts on her continued, the Dude family had chosen to limit their connections with everyone.
They severed ties, focusing solely on the hospital. They did not wish for their close ones to suffer the same misfortune. All interactions were confined to medical dealings, with no close relations with any family.
Those who once had relations with the Dude family respected the decision to distance themselves, particularly when they heard news of the sole offspring's death.
And thus it went on for years.
The assailant had devastated the Dude family's life.
*I will put an end to all of this\,* Disha thought determinedly.
