Daniel smiled as he walked into his aunty's room. He'd just avoided a hundred questions from Craig. He could tell he hadn't believed him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that the friend would drop the subject and never bring the topic up again. He walked into Carol's side of the bed, took a seat while holding her hand, and excitedly told her about the good news he had received. He wished she was awake to join him in his celebration. He missed all the hugs and kisses she would have given him and a lecture on not becoming arrogant once he's made it. She always liked giving that lecture. He had always despised the speech, but now that she was in a coma, he wanted to hear it so badly, but he couldn't. He missed all the little speeches that used to irritate him and promised himself that when she woke up, he would never find anything irritating again. He was going to be listening to every word with a smile on his face. He looked at his watch and noticed that it wa

Daniel grabbed his phone, ignoring his friends' protests. They felt choosing Kendall Hamilton was a bad idea that would only add to the drama of the project and might backfire on the group.Craig locked his gaze on his friend, who was yet again making another uncharacteristic decision. Daniel was not the type to surround himself with drama or attention, but it appeared he was attracting all the attention he had tried to avoid his entire life."Daniel, are you sure?" Craig asked for the third time, knowing full well that there were other students who were far more qualified than Kendal for the position."Trust me, guys," Daniel said, his attention drawn to his phone.Zain, who was on campus, had just texted him. He summoned Daniel outside. It was crucial. Daniel abruptly excused himself and exited the room.Zain's request for a meet-up outside the room meant that whatever he had to say was only meant for the two of them and not to be heard by the other two friends.He crossed the camp

Daniel arrived at his apartment satisfied with the events of the day. He smiled as he walked to his room. He was certain George Meyers was already receiving phone calls from his friend's parents and biting his tongue while explaining his threats.He was no longer going to have any problems with the fool if everything went as planned. As he sat down, he relievedly signed. He held the relic in his hands, remembering the old fool holding it without realizing it.The adage "hide something in plain sight for the enemy" worked in his favor. He chuckled as he remembered the old man's expression.Perhaps one day, after making him pay for everything he'd done to his family, he'd reveal how he'd hidden the relic in plain sight.He stood up with a smile, clutching his insulin infuser. With the project's funding and the Relic's power, he was going to bring the device to life in his aunt's honor, and, more importantly, it was going to make the nurses' job of managing her diabetes in her coma state

Kendall quickly offered Daniel a seat next to her and reprimanded him for not returning her calls.However, Daniel's attention was drawn to the CEO of Biopharm. He greeted him, but Josh Hamilton only glanced at him and continued sipping his coffee."You knew I was related to the CEO of Biopharm, didn't you?" Kendal enquired.Daniel cleared his throat and looked at her. "No, I did not," he replied.Josh chuckled and turned away."I knew your parents were wealthy and in real estate, but not that you two were related," Daniel responded."Do you have no shame?" Finally, Josh spoke up. "Do we appear to be fools to whom you can simply lie?""No, sir, I am telling the truth," Daniel protested but was cut off."Let's just wait for the other person in silence," Josh said.Kendal grinned. Even though Josh appeared to be cold and mean to the outside world, she knew he had a soft spot inside him.Daniel looked at Kendall, perplexed as to who they were waiting for, but lacked the courage to inquir

Kendall could no longer bear the pain as Michael continued to pull on her tightly. The boy was a monster in human form and she could not believe he had made such a disgusting video of them."Fine, fine, stop," she pleaded."Are you going to fulfill my request?" He ensured."Please give me some time," Kendall l begged.Micheal finally let go of her hair with a push. She was finally communicating in his language. "There is no time limit; that device must be destroyed immediately," he said. He handed her a small black round object that resembled a magnate.Kendall tucked her hair behind her ears as she stared at him, terrified at the small object."What... is... that?" she inquired."That project means nothing to you; you have a secure future at your uncle's company," he said as if trying to lift the weight off of what he was asking of her."All you have to do is position this little magnate beneath the device and leave the rest to me," he explained.Kendall continued to stare at him.
