The next moment saw Davin in his homestead, the best place he could find solace, he moved into the house Swifty, his mind settled on having a rest from the long hours at work. As he sank into the chair, his phone blared, he sighed deeply, "This isn't the time for this...I ... need to have some time for myself." He exclaimed.Hurrying to the table where his phone was kept, his eyes settled on the phone's screen. With a deep breath, he shrugged, it was a call from Niki, the lady he had always avoided like a plague. Davin hesitatingly swiped his hands on the screen and Nikki's voice blared from the speaker. "Hello, Davin." She said, "I know you should be wondering why I'm calling you, but this isn't about what you think." Davin listened without giving a response, he wasn't interested in stories that touched the heart at that moment, all he thought of was to have his nap. "Can we meet later tomorrow?" She asked. "Are you there… or are you ignoring me like you always do?" She asked,

After Davin crossed back to the lady, she snubbed him. Her voice heavy with fear, “Thanks so much for rescuing me.” she said. Davin, flustered by the looks in her eyes walked closer to her, his words calm and controlled,”Why sound this way lady? … I mean no harm… all I wanted to do was help you.” Davin exclaimed. Flustered, the lady turned, her voice crackling with tension, “im happy you assisted me, but please...can you allow me? I don’t trust you.” she said.‘Really?.. is that what it is to you? Davin asked. “can you get in my car so I drop you off?” The lady shook her head dismissively, “No...I will find my way from here alone.” her voice laced with fear and pity. Davin hurriedly held her close to himself, his arms folded over her shoulders, he could feel her shivering in his arms. ‘That's alright, its fine.” Davin exclaimed. He slowly wiped off the blood stain on the lady's lips with his hands.Suddenly, two cars pulled over right in front of them, masculine looking men ali

" I never had intentions of doing that." Davin quickly replied. "And you'll never do it?" Davin pondered for a while, then he nodded, "... I'll have to prepare myself for this conversation some other time." The Lord's daughter walked past him, and sat by her father's side. Davin turned away to avoid being emotionally connected to her. "I'll have to take my leave if there's nothing else you wanted to say." Davin said, as he stood up from his seat, his steps calculated as he moved towards the door. Amazed, Puttin yelled, "Who comes to the Lord and returns without an offer?" And his guards laughed loudly. It made Davin pause, with a firm glare, he stared at him and asked, What was that supposed to mean?" Puttin nodded," and that's the truth … whatever it means to you." With folded arms Davin waited for another second before responding. Whatever he meant wasn't important to him, what he needed at most was to build his stand in order to pay Maya and her family members back for

The tension in the room crackled as Davin and Puttin faced each other, their confrontation reaching its boiling point. Puttin’s guards stood by, their expressions a mix of shock and apprehension. The Lord’s daughter, having returned to the room, clapped with a mix of approval and awe.Davin, his composure unwavering despite the charged atmosphere, turned to address Puttin. "You've made your point. But I came here seeking a conversation, not a fight."Puttin's face was a mask of both disdain and curiosity. He straightened up, his gaze fixed on Davin. "You think you can come here, show off some tricks, and then just walk away? You’ve got nerve, I’ll give you that."Davin took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing. "I’m not here to prove anything to you. I came because I need answers and respect. What I’ve shown you is just a fraction of what I’m capable of."Puttin's lips curled into a sly grin. "Respect is earned, not given. If you want to prove yourself, then you’ll have to step into the

The city lights blurred past Davin’s car window as he drove into the night. His thoughts were a whirl of anticipation and dread. The power he’d felt when the ring’s energy surged through him was exhilarating, but it also filled him with uncertainty. His mother and sister were out there, and he had to reach them before it was too late.As he drove down the streets, the familiar hum of his phone broke the silence. It was Veronica’s number. He answered without hesitation.“Hello, Davin?” Veronica’s voice was laced with concern. “Yes, Veronica,” he replied, keeping his tone steady. “What is it?”“Why did you ask me to lock the house? And why did you hang up so abruptly?” She pressed, her voice trembling slightly.Davin hesitated, weighing his words. “There’s something I need to take care of. It’s important for your safety as well as mine. Just follow the instructions and make sure everything is secure. I’ll explain everything when I can.”Veronica’s frustration was palpable. “I don’t u
