Counterattack
Chapter 1
With wide open eyes, Isiah’s chest surged up and down. He tried to calm himself but that horrific scene keeps popping in his eyes.
Isiah Reed
(Didn’t he died?)
Isiah Reed
(No he know for sure he did he felt the pain. What’s going on?)
He looked around to find himself in a unfamiliarly familiar place.
No wonder it was his old room.
Isiah got up slowly his body a bit disorient.
He walked in the bathroom
After washing his face, Isiah looked up slowly in the mirror to find his younger self looking at him.
He traces his face in the mirror, it was indeed his face, so young and naive, he glanced at his hand it was smooth with long and thin fingers and well defined bone. His hand had long stopped looking like that after that incident-
He shaked his head and walked back to his bed his thoughts disoriented as memories from past came rushing back, he felt wetness on his face, he began to touch what it was.
It was his tears he didn’t even know when they began to fall.
He started laughing hysterically
A raspy and throaty scream came full of agony.
He threw all the pillows on his bed to the ground.
He remembered what these people had done to him.
How his own father never stopped his wife whenever she used to beat him up.
How the only child he loved was the child that woman gave birth too.
How that snake of a brother took everything from him since their childhood.
How he steal his designs and frame him of plagiarism and ruin his career.
Stole the award that he worked so hard for, and when he was on the stage giving his speech how their parents were siting in the front clapping for him.
His fiance escorted him and kissed him when he won the award.
While his stepmother sued him and he had to stay a night in the prison cuz no one came to bail him out.
The lawsuit left a big hole in his wallet.
He had to sell several of his studios.
He tried to make up for all the lost but his reputation got so ruined after that no one wanted to work with him.
In that difficult time so many people tried to exploit him but he stand his ground.
Until he found out that even after doing this to him his brother and fiance were the one who deliberately kept making trouble for him.
In rage he storm to there place, only Jowan was home he was sitting in the couch with a glass of wine.
Isiah grab his collar and yelled at him.
Isiah Reed
Haven’t you done enough what do you still want!!
Isiah Reed
Why are you keep making my life difficult?
Isiah Reed
Haven’t you taken enough?
Jowan Smith
Brother you look ragged.
Jowan Smith
Have you not been sleeping properly *smirks*
Isiah Reed
Jowan I am telling you stop this childish behaviour of yours.
Isiah Reed
Your jealousy just makes you look even more pathetic.
Isiah had hit him wear it hurts the most.
Isiah had always been a brilliant student and he was a born genius. Everyone either admired him or were jealous of him.
Jowan was the later beside Isiah who shone so brightly Jowan was like a rock.
But Jowan had what Isiah didn’t and that was his parents love and support.
So although Jowan had always made trouble for Isiah their parents had always cover up for him.
Isiah Reed
If you had what it takes then you wouldn’t need to steal to prove your competence.
Isiah Reed
Hmph truly pathetic.
But Jowan got up and smash the wine glass on his head.
Isiah fell on his knees and grabbed his head.
He bring his hand in front and saw fresh warm red blood in his hand.
As he was looking Jowan kick his back and he fell down to the ground.
He grab Isiah’s hair flip him and sat on top of him and punch him.
Jowan Smith
CALLING ME PATHETIC! LOOK AT YOURSELF YOU COULDN’T EVEN SATISFY YOUR FIANCE!!
Jowan Smith
LIKE MOTHER LIKE SON!
Jowan kept punching him till he was tired, Isiah’s lip was bleeding he felt the taste of blood inside his mouth.
Jowan Smith
Did you came to threaten me, pathetic *laughs*
He grab Isiah’s cheek and lean closer.
Jowan Smith
You are nothing but a gangster whore’s son, all your mother did was bring harm to my dad if he wasn’t force to marry that bitch he could’ve happily marry my mother his true love, I am glad that she died.
Isiah girt his teeth, veins showing on his forehead, he clenched his fist and throw Jowan to the ground.
Isiah never really resort to violence he was a well behave and mature kid since growing up.
But whenever anyone would disrespect his mother he would loose all sense.
Like right now Isiah got on top of Jowan and beat him.
His knuckle were bruise and Jowan was coughing as blood poured out from his nose and mouth.
In that moment the door opened and wide eyes stare at the scene in front of him.
He stuttered as he saw Jowan bloodied on the floor he ran to him and kick Isiah off of him.
Jason Hill

Jason Hill

Jowan started crying as he clutch John’s shirt.
Jowan Smith

Jowan Smith
He still thinks that I am the one who steal his design.
Jowan Smith
He is my brother I would never do something like this to him, I t-tried to e-explain but h-he *sobs*
Jason Hill
Isiah! Jowan did nothing so stop blaming him, do you know he plead to your parents to not punish you, even after you accuse him of stealing.
Jason Hill
I know you are mad that we both got together but I never loved you so can you let us live our lives peacefully.
Isiah got up from the floor
Isiah Reed
Heh! You are delusional if you think that I ever loved you, in fact I am happy that you both got together you both deserve each other.
Isiah Reed

Chapter 2
Isiah was so tried that he couldn’t think and he laid there all night in daze between dreaming and half awake state.
When he woke up the next morning, Isiah sat up looking around the room.
He leaned against the bed and force himself to concentrate and think seriously.
Judging from what happened yesterday this is not a dream and he is still in his old room.
It looks like he really reborn.
He walked out of bed to the window looking at the scenery outside thinking about his previous life, his heart was very complicated and heavy.
He was wronged all his life but he never retaliate, he just thought he will become independent and live his life however he want.
Never thought that the people he trusted the most and the people who he thought of as his family would stab him in the back.
He never disrespected anyone or harm anybody but in return what he got was nothing but humiliation.
He has decided that in this life he will not sit back and get trampled on, he will give back double to anyone who comes his way again.
He will get revenge for every humiliation he felt on his previous life.
Suddenly a knock came on the door making Isiah come out of his thought.
Smith maid
Master the breakfast is ready.
He walk back to his bed and sat down.
Even if he didn't want to see them again, he still had to face it.
After washing and changing his clothes, Isiah left the room.
As soon as he walked downstairs to the dining room, he saw the scene of joy and laughter inside that made him paused.
He was used to this in his previous life although he was never included he didn’t mind that much, but now all he can feel is rage, after knowing their true faces he can’t help but get repulse by the mere site of them.
But he has to compose himself Isiah stood indifferently at the entrance of the dining room, looking at the warm scene in front of him. He sneered in his heart but his face wore calm look as he casually pulled away the nearest chair, and sat down.
Everybody stared at him but then continue to talk about whatever they were before.
Although Isiah had no appetite but he still took a toast on his plate or else they would accuse him of only coming to eavesdrop on them.
Jowan Smith
Mom here is my gifts list.
Jowan Smith
You have to buy me 17 gifts this year.
Agatha Smith
Of course sweetie I remember we have already began preparing.
Agatha Smith
Your this year’s birthday party is going to be even grand then last year’s.
She lean and kiss Jowan on forehead.
Now he remembers how many years he came back to.
Although seeing his face Isiah had a rough idea about how many years he went back, but he couldn’t pin point to excatly when now was, now he knows.
It was this bastards 17th birthday.
Isiah’s birthday came 2 days before Jowan’s so as to not outshine and take focus from Jowan’s birthday his was not celebrated.

He remembers that in his previous life he had an interview for his dream university on Jowan’s 17th birthday.

But he made a huge mistake of telling his family a week ago before his interview. Although they never cared, but one person did. He couldn’t see through it before but now he knows.
So that year Jowan told their parents to celebrate my birthday cuz he felt bad that mine was never celebrated because of him.
Isiah Reed
(*sneers* like he cared I was so stupid if he cared then why would he didn’t say anything for so many years)
It was all his scheme he always tried to play the kindness act and no one suspected him.
On Isiah’s birthday because of Jowan’s persuasion his parents held a small party for him and they invited a few of their relatives.
He was ready to go down but was feeling nervous because this was the first time he was the protagonist.
Jowan Smith

Jowan Smith
Wow you look so handsome.
Jowan Smith
Are you nervous.
Jowan Smith
Don’t be, here let’s go downstairs together so you won’t get nervous.
Jowan grab Isiah’s arm and drag him.
As they reached the stairs Isiah took a sharp breathe cuz he saw everyone’s stare at him, he was not the shy type and he could handle crowds easily but the people were looking at him with so much hostility as if they are not here to celebrate his birthday but to beat him.
He shake his head and told himself to not think such nonsense.
As they were descending Jowan’s feet slip his grip on Isiah’s arm loosen he tired to catch Jowan but his hands slip from Isiah’s.
He fall down and everyone ran toward him in panic, his head was bleeding.
