his hand dragging him and their families towards the exit.
"Get in the car and leave now". She ordered holding her gun looking around to find the casualties
"What is all this?". Her father demanded
"I don't have time I need to go back in". She said making them sit in the car sending them off with her guards
Their families went to their safe house after an hour-long time trying to reach her but there wasn't any answer.
"What if something happens to her?". Her sister cried
"It's her fault. She makes stupid decisions". Her father said sitting on the couch
His parents look at her father disappointed.
"She is risking her life for us. We choose to run away and she didn't". His father said pissed at her father
"Running was the best solution she didn't choose that's her fault". Her father said shrugging
His father shakes his head at his absurd words praying for her safety. Azlaan walks towards the garden trying to keep himself sane before he loses his mind. He remembers the moment she held his hand even if it's wasn't in any other way but to keep him close so she can take him out of there he cannot miss that touch did something to his heart.
Now his heart worries for her.
Almost to the point that he is losing his mind.
Another two hours went by when he heard the doorbell and he runs inside to find her entering inside in a rather distorting state but she didn't look hurt which made him release a sigh.
"Aziz you can leave now". She said smiling nodding
Aziz looks at her hesitating but nodded walking away.
"What was that all about?. I told you to be careful about the security". Her father said angrily
She raises her face watching everyone gasp because she has blood all over her. Since she wore her jacket her shirt was hidden but her face was covered.
"That wasn't our fault. I don't know who they came after but I will have answers soon". She said pushing her hair away from her face feeling irritated, "Is everyone ok?".
"What about you?. Are you ok?. Are you hurt?". His mother asked coming near her holding her hand
She smiles, "I am just fine. Don't worry".
"Are you sure, beta?". His father asked concerned
"Jee". She replied, "I need to change and then go back. I cannot call your security here because of exposure-".
"Just go and change first. You need rest too we can discuss everything else later". His father said softly patting her head
She nodded.
After she changes she walks back down looking at Azlaan who seems to be waiting for someone.
"Your security cannot come here because of our privacy but I will call some tomorrow so they can take you away". She said hissing when her hand hurt
Azlaan looks at her concerned, "Are you hurt?".
"No". She said gritting her teeth hiding the pain in her shoulder
"Why are you not sending them with our security?. They are the best they will do their job better than you ever do". Her father said angrily
She sighs, "Because we don't have many men here. I have no idea who was after the attack so I cannot risk sending our men with them. Their team is also the best one so it shouldn't be a problem". She said clenching her hands, "You all should-".

"Meri bachi". She heard her nanny voice (my child)
She turns to her grinning as her eyes widen, "Ap a gai?". (You came)
Her nanny hugs her tightly she hissing in pain but didn't make much noise not wanting attention on her.
"Did you eat?. Should I make something?". Her nanny asked cupping her cheeks lovingly
She smiles shaking her head, "I have work". Then she turns to others, "Please rest for the night".
Aziz walks in smiling at Nanny knowing she loves Hadiya and now Hadiya will have someone.
"Details?". She asked Aziz
Aziz nodded.
"Please show them the rooms". She said to her nanny walking away
She went to the other room equipped with all the new technologies she needed and with that she starts to dig into the incident.
It was clearly a warning.
She walks out of the room after hours with the tablet as she walks back to the lounge sitting on the couch watching the clip of the incident over and over.
"How long have you been here?". His father asked worriedly
She shrugged, "I had something to do".
"What?". Azlaan asked coming inside the lounge in his sleepy form brushing his hair back
"I-". She started
"Did you find the cause yet?". Her father asked coming inside
"I am looking into it". She replied
"It's been hours and you still don't have answers". Her father said angrily, "Give the footage to me".
She forward the tablet to her father leaning back watching in go over it then he throws it back to her.
"It's clear they were there to warn their family (Azlaan's) and it was a small attack by some mafia gang. I need to find how big they are yet but we need to take precautions because the plan was well made". She explained calmly
"That's not enough information. What's the name of the group?". Her father asked
"I don't know". She said rubbing her head as her head hurts now
"You are useless". Her father said making her heart clench
She chooses not to react as her head is already hurting and thanks the heaven when her sister came in taking her father full attention. But then she looks at Azlaan feeling his gaze at her and the way his beautiful brown eyes depicts anger in them almost burning her in it but didn't because it wasn't directed to her.
"Beta, chalo". She heard her nanny calling her for breakfast (come, child)
She tiredly walks towards the table watching her nanny making her favourite breakfast as she was about to eat her father spoke, "What about their guards?. How are they going home?".
"I have arranged that. Their guards will arrive in an hour". She said leaving her food
"Why not early?". Her father asked angrily
By now everyone was on the table and she really wanted to just leave.
"Because everyone was sleeping and needed time to refresh after". She explained sighing because her head pain
"But-". Her father started
"I am sorry but-". Aziz said entering inside
She turns to him and without words she understood what he was going to say so she immediately stands from her place.
"I have work. Excuse me". She said walking to the exit of the dining room
"Where are you going?". Her nanny asked
"We captured a man of their gang last night I just have some work with him". She said holding the gun from Aziz

"Don't hurt him. Maybe he is nice". Her sister said worriedly
"I am sure". She said rolling her eyes as she walks away
After making sure to hit the man enough to teach his master a lesson and leaving him in the front of the event hall she went back to the house.
"The cars are ready". She said to his parents
"Thank you so much, beta". His father said smiling
She nodded smiling making sure they went on their way with full security.
The next day she was back to university as if nothing happened. No one knows what went down because she blocked all newspapers and people in the hall to publish any news.
She walks into her class tired because she hasn't been able to sleep much.
"You look tired"?. Azlaan said concerned sitting beside her since her two friends are absent, "My parents are now your biggest fan. I think they love you more than me".
She chuckles, "Everyone loves me".
"That's not very good". He said thinking about how many males there are in that equation
She shakes her head with a smile, "I wonder what you would have done if I wasn't there".
"Die". He replied shrugging
She slaps her book on his head making him wince, "Don't say stupid things".
He chuckles.
Before he can do anything their names were called to the principles office and soon enough both of them were standing in her father office with his father and her sister already there.
She looks at her angry father confused because she hasn't done a thing today. The day didn't even start for her to do anything.
"What is this?". Her father said standing from his position coming near her as he throws the newspaper at her
She looks down to some cheap newspaper with the news of the incident published.
Then her father slapped her.
Hard enough to make her lips bleed but she didn't make a sound.
"How can you be so careless?. Didn't I teach you to be more careful in these matters?". Her father screamed
"Baba". Her sister said coming near her
"She didn't do anything that wrong. She stopped all other publications already". His father said angrily walking closer to her holding her hand watching her face for injury
She sighs.
"One publication can change everything". Her father argued
She straightens herself smirking at his words knowing he is wrong.
"Did our stock price changed?". She asked her sister
"No. It will take 24 hours and since it's a small newspaper we can still hide this". Her sister said
"Ok". She said shortly, "Maybe you should read the file I sent with Aziz about who we are dealing with here. He is in mafia with sufficient power and there is no way we can block all his moves. Excuse me, I have work".
She walks outside asking Aziz to find the person responsible for this and bring him to her.
In less than two hours she manages to cover everything that went down hiding the attack as a whole.
"Aziz, did she do well in the attack?". Her father asked while she was working in another office
His father, Azlaan and her sister remain behind while her father had called Aziz for inquiry.
"Yes Sir". Aziz said hating the man who hurt her for no reason," She managed to put you all to safety in seconds. Then she went back in to find the other people sending them away. She has saved the woman who was held by the knife and all other important people along. She manages to stop the people who were recording the event too".
Her father simply nodded because he didn't have any more words to say.
She walks inside the university the next day tired of everything in her life . Even if she is strong she is a human who ran out of energy, will and drain every once in a while. She doesn't have an escape from this life however she chooses to spend today low because she doesn't want any new scenes on her account.
Maybe she might break.
"Are you ok?". Alia asked worried watching her cheeks swollen and the cut on her lips as she covers it with foundation
She nodded sighing.
"You need to speak more to us. Even if we can't help we can listen". Tasha said smiling sadly at her
"I just wish I have a way". She said walking out of the bathroom only to find Azlaan standing leaning on the front wall
And he heard her.
"I wanted to see if you are ok". He said scratching the back of his neck nervously
She sighs again walking towards her class and her friends went to the opposite side for some unknown reasons and Azlaan choose to walk beside her. The walk shouldn't be that long but it felt like an eternity to her.
"NO". She heard her sister screaming
Immediately she went into defensive mode narrowing her eyes at the scene in front of her. It's the same boy (Hasan) her sister had told her about and now he was holding her hand forcing himself on her.
She runs towards her sister separating her from Hasan pushing her behind herself and before anything she slapped that man hard.
"I don't care who or what you are but you do not force yourself on my sister or any woman for that matter. She said a clear no which means No, you asshole". She said angrily taking a step to kick him again but her sister hold her back
Azlaan move to hit him but the teacher came in between asking them to head towards the principal office. Her sister holds her hand stopping her in the track.
"Please don't tell anyone anything they will think I am bad". Her sister said crying
Azlaan looks at her sister ridiculously.
"Why in the world anyone will blame you?. This was clearly his doing and I-". She started
"Please. You know how people are they will say we are rich and we are wrong". Her sister pleaded
Her pleads was something she has always bow down to. Azlaan watches the conflicts in her eyes immediately vanish as she gives in to her sister demands.
"Then, whatever happens, you won't say another word". She said stern
Her sister nodded.
She stands in front of the principal with her father already there and that man with his family.
"Why did you hit him?". Her father asked angrily
She clenches her hands, "Because I wanted to".
Then he slapped her again.

Embrace the Blade [Drafts 1&2]
James Ransom grew up unable to do the simplest of life’s tasks. Legs were malformed; he was in a wheel chair as long as he could remember. Suffering from a severe form of muscular exhaustion making him unable to use his hands for long despite his resolve to fight through it. All the challenges facing him he still was able to enjoy reading and video games; but a tragic car accident will change his life forever and perhaps he will be given the opportunity to reincarnate into another world. Special thanks to Mikaelle for the Synopsis. This is my first book/fic so constructive critisism would be very nice. Expect a lot of grammatical errors but hopefully not too many spelling errors. Explanation for the tags; Action/Adventure/Fantasy: These don't really need an explanation, Comedy: I'll try to be funny hopefully I won't fail miserably, Romance: I like romantic sub-plots, LitRPG: No explanation needed but I am using my own system, Reincarnation/Summoned Hero: Not sure which one applies here I'm inclined to think both so I put both, Reader Interactive: I put this one here for my own amusment I'll allow everyone to help create the MC's love interest and maybe a few other things we will also hold a few contests.. Male Lead: self explanitory, Magic: Also easy, Strong Lead: Think of this as more of a weak-to-strong tag the MC will be OP but not till later in the story. Warning: Since this fic is labeled as 'Strategy' I believe that the readers should know as much as possible about the situations presented in the story so they can reach their own conclusions about how a fight could have been won or lost. That means: there are a lot of information dumps early on. I don't know how long I'll be able to write this fic but I promise to keep my few readers informed in case I decide to drop it or something.
