............"Well... shit... that was definitely not normal," Aarav muttered to himself, shaking his head before refocusing on treating the second patient, the memory of the eerie sound lingering in his mind."Just like earlier, I instructed, make another concoction. No, scratch that, bring a larger container and concoct a larger quantity as we need it for others too," Aarav turned to the earlier Nurses who had prepared the medicine, realizing they would need more for the number of patients awaiting treatment.Three hours later,Treating two hundred or so patients took a toll on his energy and time. After treating the last patient, he retired directly to his office space, feeling drained yet accomplished."Here, my lord," Astrid said, back to her usual self after three hours, handing him a glass of water, her hands steady despite the exhaustion evident in her eyes."Thanks," Aarav replied gratefully, taking a sip of the warm water before relaxing into his chair, with Astrid standin

............"So, Bella Rossi, what have you thought about our previous proposal? Think carefully before you answer!" Lorei's expression also turned serious as she awaited Bella's response, her gaze piercing."What proposal? I'm sorry, but I don't think we have anything to discuss," Bella sharply said, her fists clenched under the table with anger, her knuckles turning white.Ever since her family company, Rossi Energy Solutions, went bankrupt, cutting off her company's main investment and leading other investors to withdraw, Bella had been left with nothing. Despite having some profits from previous products, they barely covered production costs, office rent, and staff salaries, leaving her with zero balance.These two snakes sitting across from Bella saw an opportunity to trap her in their schemes, but she was wise to their nature and didn't fall for it.Now they were here again, and Bella knew she couldn't simply make them leave peacefully like last time, as they had discovered h

............"My lord, if you want to help Ms. Bella, then I would suggest asking Phia Lumara. From what I've seen, this girl has a very bright future in the fashion field, so partnering up with the Lumara family might give her the chance to finally showcase her talent in the bigger world!" Astrid whispered her suggestion, noticing his troubled look."Oh, good idea!" Aarav's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing Astrid's suggestion, and he nodded in agreement."Brother, can you drop me off here? I still have things to do in my office," Bella called out, bringing the car to a stop as she decided to disembark.After the heavy lunch, Aarav decided to drop her off.So, Astrid, Aarav, and Bella left the Ocean's Flame Grill & BBQ shop."Oh, alright. Hey, Bella! Take this," Aarav rummaged in his pocket and retrieved a piece of paper, quickly jotting down his address. "When you have time, come to my home. I have a friend who might be able to help, and please don't hesitate about it. Okay

............A few moments later,"Ahhhh...Argh...!"The room echoed with the pained cries of the thugs, their bodies scattered across the floor, each one writhing in agony."Now then, are you going to talk peacefully or do I need to beat some more sense into your thick skull!" Aarav's voice was calm yet laced with an underlying threat as he remained seated in the chair. Meanwhile, Brother Joe lay sprawled beneath him, his face swollen and his clothes torn, blood trickling from his hands and legs."Ahhh...plea...please...n..no..no...more!" Brother Joe's pleas were desperate, his grip on Aarav's leg tight as he begged for mercy. Tears streaked down his swollen face, and snot threatened to drip onto Aarav's legs before he forcefully kicked him away."Ahhh...!" Brother Joe cried out as he stumbled backward, pain shooting through his injured body."Tell me, who was the one that instigated you all!" Aarav's tone remained steady, but his eyes burned with a chilling intensity that made Br

............"Don't worry, Our Lord will understand and surely agree with us. Alright, let's finish here; I can smell the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen!" Phia joined in the embrace, wrapping her arms around both Aria and Astrid.As she spoke in a gentle tone, Phia caught the scent of food wafting from the kitchen, urging the two to finish their bath."Hey, dinner is ready," Aarav called out, as he came out from the kitchen carrying the delicious meal as he carefully arranged the plates on the table."Yes, we're coming right away!" Phia's voice chimed in eagerly, followed by the sound of quick footsteps as the three of them hurried down from Aria's bedroom, excitement evident in their movements.Before they settled into their chairs, Astrid paused to inhale deeply, closing her eyes for a moment as she savored the tantalizing aroma drifting from the dishes."Sniff...Sniff, how wonderful. I can never have enough of this heavenly aroma!" She couldn't help but express her delight wi
