Mandy could not breathe. It was as if something blocked her chest and restricted her flow. What did the man just say? Did he really throw away the medication? Her grandpa will finally die, thanks to her bad decisions. "Do you know the implications of what you have just done?" Declan growled. Even Declan was beginning to fear. Those herbs are very rare and the portion Billy wasted was the last. He had gone out of his way to get it the first time. "It didn't look like anything important. It looked more like a dirty smelly mixture to me. Why would anyone keep something that dirty in a beautiful jar like that?" Billy pointed at the jar that used to contain the medicine. "I'm sure that jar cost a fortune so I would rather put it to good use." Billy shrugged. Declan's hand folded in a fist at his sides. He was trying to contain his anger. The boy Billy was only but an apprentice. He didn't blame him for not knowing much. "That mixture you call smelly and dirty is what has kept my gr

"Let's have it doctor"Declan sneered, approaching. "Don't you dare—come close to me!" Dr Great seethed as he dragged his buttocks backwards on the floor. "But a deal is a deal, remember? You made the rules yourself.""I'd rather die than lick your feet!""I see you also have a death wish""You, have the death wish! Lay a finger on me and see what becomes of you!"Dr Great threatened. He guessed Declan doesn't know him and the kind of influence he has. If he did, he wouldn't be breathing the same air as him. Declan had paused on his tracks to fetch something from a box. Billy looked from his master to Declan, then spoke to his master. "Master, let's run now he seems to be distracted!""What do you mean to run? That will make our master look weak" John countered. "But... This man looks scary, I don't want him to harm us!""It's just him against the three of us, don't be a coward!""But...""Enough!" Dr. Great yelled. "No one is running from a worthless piece of shit. He must pay

It was the opening ceremony. May Williams sat in her living room sipping from her champagne glass. She was dressed in her night robe, her hair dropped free at her back. Footsteps approached from the hallway. "You have to be kidding me! What are you doing dressed like that?! The ceremony is few hours!""Not now mom, I already told you I'm not going.""Hell you won't. Now get up now!""There she goes again" May rolled her eyes. "I will do more if you don’t lift your ass off that seat. Do you even know what you're doing? How will you miss a great opportunity like this one?""There’s nothing to miss. She won't pick me so forget it.""And what makes you think that? You’re very much qualified. You're young, smart and single handedly revived a dying company to stand tall. I bet there's no other person more qualified than you're."May flashed a fake smile. "That was quite flattering. But you won't understand."May turned away, her attention snapping back to her phone. Clara gazed at her dau

At the Ashers' residence, Two men sat at the living room bearing gifts. They were dressed in a neat blue suits with their shades on. Mandy constantly glanced at the entrance, looking out for Declan. She had called him as soon as the men showed up. She didn't want to let them in at first, but they mentioned they were sent by Jordan Smith. Out of courtesy, Mandy had let them in but she was not letting them go anywhere close to her grandpa. Once bitten, twice shy. "Our boss would come himself, but he had an emergency.""Tell him I received his call in with thanks." Mandy gave a tight smile "Can we go in now? We have gifts for The Director.""Oh no—my grandfather does not receive visitors. Everyone see me instead.""We insist ma'am. Our boss wants us to present these gifts to the Director himself. He also wants to know how his very good friend is doing... Through our eyes, of course.""Tell your boss his friend is recovering and his granddaughter appreciates his kindness." May's tone

Where did he go?" Tom asked one of his students when he realized he had lost Declan. They had been watching him from a tall tower, but got distracted when their boss called."I have no idea. He was just right there." Tom's brows etched in worry. "Find him, now! ""Right away master." The student turned away and put a call across to the surveillance operator. Immediately, the operator gave him feedback. "Master, he is currently in the basement. What should I do? He acts suspicious and is before the painting ""The painting!?" How did he get there!""Just say the word master, what should I do with him."Tom breathed in heavily, "I'm not sure what his role is in everything that went wrong but I'm sure the boss will be glad if we get rid of him.""It will be my most pleasure to do the boss's wish.""Very good Jeremy, take Jonna with you. I have taught you two so well, bring him to me, in whole or pieces.""It will be my greatest delight." With a curt nod, Jeremy left to search for his p
