"Uh!" The crowd cried in disappointment. Blaze missed his attempt because Zayn had been quick enough to swerve his bike to avoid the hit. But the back tire clashed with Blaze's causing a screeching sound. Zayn secretly heaved a sigh of relief and sped off to put as much distance as he could between him and Blaze. But the latter was particularly persistent and followed closely behind. Zayn focused on the bikes ahead of him when he realized that the first round was coming to an end. There was still no loser yet though other racers were already trying to hit one another. But he was far behind. So keeping in mind that Blaze was still behind him, he headed straight forward for the bike ahead of him. "Let's do this," He accelerated his bike at a fast speed and directly hit the bike in front of him. The racer lost his stance because he hadn't been expecting a hit from behind and he was also preparing to attack someone else at the time of the attack. The audience watc

"Congratulations Mr Zen," the judge handing over the prize said to Zayn. Despite the pain the latter was feeling, he smiled. "Thank you." "We now announce our new champion, the one brave enough to beat a seven-year record holder and win a whopping sum of 5,000,000AED," The judge's voice rang out in the place. The crowd clapped and cheered. People from the fighting arena and other sports trooped in to see what was going on. "Do you have anything to say, Zen?" The judge turned to Zayn who nodded. He collected the mic and looked at the crowd. He then smiled again causing ladies' hearts to palpitate. "I have nothing else to say aside, if you believe in it, go for it. It doesn't matter if you are an amateur. There is enough love to go around." Pak! Pak! The crowd clapped again. Those that understood his last statement knew it was directed to the other racers that played dirty. You don't have to play tricks to win. One can't always be a winner. Learn to accept and

Shaquille was having brunch at the dining room when he heard this. The tea cup in his hand fell and shattered into pieces. "What?" His body trembled with anger. He didn't go to the empire today because there was barely little work for him and with the ruckus the directors and Zayn caused, he'd sincerely lost his interest. He knew when Layla was leaving because she seemed happy and was gushing all about how Ramadan was up and coming. "Yes master. She and her maid were abducted," The bodyguards admitted. "What are you still doing? Dispatch people to search for my wife immediately! If she and that girl don't come back here in one piece, forget about losing your jobs, your lives would be gone too!" He ended the call and almost threw the phone away. "I should inform Zayn," He spoke on the spur of the moment and was beginning to dial his son's number when he suddenly remembered the problem at the company. This was already the second day of the three days ultimatum Z

The soldiers trooped in and apprehended the thugs. They didn't even care for those that had broken their arms or other parts of their body and directly pulled them. This caused the thugs to howl in pain. "Is she alright?" Shaquille asked. He walked to Zayn while holding Layla's hand. His wife seemed to be trembling. Just then, the door opened again and the cops trooped in. The soldiers were obviously surprised to see them because they couldn't think of anyone that would have informed them. Zayn knew it was Salim but he didn't mention a word. "We'll take it from here," The chief informed the soldiers who didn't argue as it was the police job to catch these criminals in the first place. Some of the cops recognized quite a number of the thugs as they had already been deemed wanted in the station. "Thank you very much Mr Zayn," The chief came up to Zayn. "We have been searching all over for these criminals that's been terrorizing the civilians' peace." Zayn nodded. But

"I'm listening," Zayn snapped out of his thoughts and indicated that he was still on the line. "According to his reports, he said he found evidence that Yasmin was behind the poison Omar was given. Even till this very moment, he is still being fed." Zayn's eyes shot wide open. He clenched his fists in anger. "What are you saying?" "He believes she has her own allies among the medical team assigned to Omar where he has been transported to. If you remember, all the doctors suddenly stopped taking care of Omar when you still lived with the Faez's family on claims that they weren't paid." Zayn subconsciously nodded. That was one of the reasons he had to work as a chef in that miserly restaurant to be able to afford the expensive medicines Omar required. "It was all a lie!" Zayed sounded angry on his cousin's behalf. "She secretly invited doctors and supposedly lied to her husband that they would ensure he doesn't die... Actually, Omar has been fed little doses of the cold po
