Richester and three of the best doctors he has in his firm Patrick, Joe and Keith stared at the x-ray on the board before them. None of them seemed to know what was the patient’s problem and he was intentionally keeping quiet.“His wife was right, he has convulsion.” Joe agreed and the rest nodded.“What else?” Richester asked, without facing them but they did.“Is there something else?” They asked in unison.“Have you forgotten we did a full body x-ray test?” He questioned them cryptically and they turned away from him while clearing their throat.“I can also see that he has an old external injury.” Patrick pointed at a spot on the board and they nodded in agreement.“The patient’s condition is more critical than just a convulsion.” He began, tucking his hand in his doctor coat. “He has corneal dystrophy which needs to be treated immediately.” He informed them seriously and their eyes quickly spotted the position on the board.“Oh! Director really has a sharp eye.” Keith gasped and t
Rich Hospital was recruiting new doctors and the available slot was two. Richester dangled his pen in the air as he read through an applicant’s work profile. “What makes you think you are qualified for this job, Mr. Mark?” Richester asked seriously with his eyes fixed on the file he was holding. “Because I can work under pressure and have gotten experience over my five years as a doctor.” The applicant, Mark, said confidently and Richester nodded. He froze at the next applicant’s file. “What the---?” He lifted his eyes and narrowed it to the next applicant, there was John, his former senior colleague, waiting to be interviewed. He smirked under his nose. “This is a dream.” He shook his head in doubt. “Mr. John?” He called out intentionally and John sprang up from his seat. “Yes sir.” He was almost bowing down to the ground, Richester laughed in mockery. He couldn’t help it. Their eyes locked but John constantly avoided it, his eyes were restless and he was embarrassed. Stella
“[Mission Completed!]” The metallic voice came up in his head and he exhaled heavily in relief.Slowly he realized what he had done and the eyes that were on me.“How dare you slap me?” Stella found her lost voice back and questioned disdainfully.“That’s what you deserve, I just feel so.” He said neutrally, curling his lips.Immediately, his phone beeped and he quickly checked it.[Credit Alert: $100,000,000,000 Sender: DDD Available Balance: $120,100,000,000,000]“Wow, this is incredible.” He sighed heavily.He was getting used to the system's reliability and the fact that the funds were spendable.Soon, some inventories flashes on his face - dangling and the computerized voice comes up again.“[Reward: 40% Medical Skill added, 20% Popularity added, 30% Self Esteem added.]”“[Congratulations user, you are one step away from reaching your determined end.]” It continued.“Where are you going? Do you think I will let you leave?” Stella grabbed his arm, staring at him in annoyance.“Why
“I--- honestly, I don’t think I’m ready to love again.” He said seriously.They returned back to the living room, Zoey was still recollecting her thoughts.“So, you mean I should stop making advances or something?” She curled her lips, sitting on the edge of the armchair that Richester sat on.“It-- well--” He wanted a yes but it didn’t come out so easily.“There is nothing to be afraid of, daddy.” She crossed her arm around his shoulders. “I have already accepted you in my heart and even if you are not ready, I’m willing to wait for you.” She said conclusively and he shook his head.“I don’t want to give you hope, Zoey.” He said, avoiding her gaze.He adjusted from her and she gradually pulled her arm away.“Do you have someone else in heart?” Zoey asked him, straightforward and he cleared his throat nervously.How did she find out? That was the kind of expression he had on his face but he tried not to look suspicious.“Someone?” He shook his head. “I’m so focused with my work that I
“Morning news, Mandela Hospital, one of the trending hospitals that suddenly fell off rank, caught fire abruptly. The fire service has been sent and the police are currently working to find the culprit---” That was the headline and ongoing channels in almost all the stations.Stella staggered backward and collapsed on the floor, she constantly cleaned her eyes and her ears to make sure she wasn’t seeing or hearing wrongly.She shook her head in disbelief as her lips trembled seriously.“How come? How come? God!!” Stella screamed at the top of her voice as her husband and her mother rushed out of their room.“What’s going on? Can’t we have peace at---” Damien stopped talking at the sight of the actions on the screen. “Wait.” He looked at everyone. “Isn’t that our hospital?” He questioned as confusion enveloped his anxious eyes.“Goodness! How come?” Madam Harriet’s expression was indifferent and hard to describe. She shook her head.“I left the hospital late yesterday and I didn’t obse
“Mr. Richester, you are under arrest for burning down Mandela hospital.” The detective flashed his identification card at his face before taking out the handcuffs. Beside him were two other officers.“What? I don’t know what you are talking about.” Richester shook his head as he looked at Raymond.They were in his office but the door was opened which drew few eyes of staff that were passing.“You must remain silent, else whatever you say will be used against you at the court of law.” The detective handcuffed him no matter how hard he struggled. “You have the right to own a lawyer for defense.” He added as he tugged him off, trying to drag him out of his office.“Look here, I don’t know what you are saying. I never burnt down their hospital.” He continued protesting as they took him to the precinct.Raymond called Richester’s lawyer immediately, informing him about the emergency before following them to the station.Richester sat in the interrogation room with his both handcuffed hands
Damien had his feet stamping the ground constantly and Madam Harriet looked unaffected as she polished her nails, they were in the living room. Stella didn’t stop pacing around the room and sighing frequently.“Why is it taking him so long?” Stella faced her mother, her face was enveloped with a big frown.“Calm down and be patient, they are doing their job.” Her mother said calmly and Damien scoffed.“Calm down? My half a trillion investment has just crumbled, how can she relax?” He spat at her face with a voice filled with pressure.“Come to think of it, you have been unbothered by the happenings.” He rubbed his chin, staring at her and she scoffed while sitting upright.“What do you mean? Of course I’m worried, that’s the last thing my late husband left in my possession and it’s gone.” Suddenly, she started shedding tears. “Should I kill myself? All I can do is make Richester rot in jail.” She cleaned her eyes, sobbing skeptically.“Mother---” Stella bought her act and walked over
“I have done almost everything you asked of me, what about our bargain?” Madam Harriet asked, crossing her leg to the other as she stared seriously at the man sitting in front of her.He was no other than Don Maximo, a rich old man who was famous for all sorts of illegal acts. He was used by top men to work undercover and his wealth grew by the day.He laughed in bits as he drank from the glass. “Why are you impatient, lady? I will do everything as promised.” He assured her with a short chuckle.“That’s good.” She paused. “But - - what will happen to him from now on?” She asked him, trying to hide her curiosity but he roared into a loud annoying laughter.She wouldn't be with him if not for her own benefit, even from a distance he disgusted her big time. But what can she do?“That’s none of your business, lady.” He shushed her coldly. “Just enjoy your new found wealth.” He laughed again as he advanced to start eating, she joined in his boring laughter.“Tomorrow, my story will change.

Before his laptop finished booting, the police van already gained access to the mansion. Siren sounds could be heard from the main house as Raymond and Seven rushed in, looking nervous.“Boss, it’s the police,” Raymond announced impatiently.“Police? Who called them?” He questioned anxiously but got no response, his eyes wandered around until he noticed that someone was missing.“Stella! It’s Stella.” He assumed correctly.“We can’t run away, after all, we didn’t kill anyone so no need to hide.” Mada Pia began. “Let’s go out and face them.” She suggested.Richester was a bit reluctant, he was afraid that the news might drain his reputation again. He was skeptical and cautious since the system was no longer with him but Amanda grabbed his arm and let out a reassuring smile.“Don't worry, I’m with you.” Maybe from now on, he doesn’t need a system. He already had one.They strolled out of the mansion to meet the police officers who were in the yard.As expected, news spread like wildfire
“Father, this is the man I want to marry.” Amanda’s voice resonated in the dining room.She was having lunch with her father and beside her was her fiancee, Richester. He composed himself like a man who has always been serious in life. He would do everything possible to make himself look presentable in front of his future father-in-law.“Isn't he the same man that you disagreed to have an affair with?” Mr. Conrez asked cryptically.He was discharged a week ago and Amanda didn’t hesitate to share the good news with him.“He is.” She placed a palm on his hand. “But that was in the past, I love him.” She said seriously.“Young man, do you love my daughter?” Mr. Conrez asked, dropping the fork and knife. He focused on Richester, trying to observe him.Amanda was his only family and he didn’t joke with her.“Yes, sir. I love her yesterday, today, and forever.” He said and changed the pattern, he placed his hand on hers and squeezed it gently. Amanda blushed.“That’s a relief.” But then, he
“Get out of here, you fool!” Theo, the general officer yelled at Don Maximo and Charles as he pushed them into the cafeteria hall.Adams, Lucky, and Jones were in the queue waiting to be served their lunch.“Whose turn is it to wash the lavatory?” Theo questioned with a thunderous voice.“Prisoner 940 and 941!” The hungry and grumpy-looking prisoners shouted at the top of their voices.Since the departure of Richester, there were no longer rankings in the prison as many feared to sit in that position. It needed someone with a strong mind and a good connection.Everything sailed smoothly and steadily in the prison but for Trevor’s lackeys, they had it hot.“What are you waiting for?” Theo’s voice came up, staring at them disdainfully.“Sir, we haven't eaten any - -” Charles hadn’t finished his statement when a hot slap rested on his face, he supported his cheek with his hands looking shocked at the general’s action.“Do you want me to repeat myself?” He raised a scornful brow at them, t
The engagement between Richester and Amanda spread like wildfire as everyone was anxious to know more about their love story and more update on their next plan. He was rarely seen around women thus engaging one came as a shock to them.He stood in his office in Rich Hotel, the nameplate having his name on it was positioned on his desk. Shortly after a knock, Glenn walked in.“Good morning, boss. We have some visitors.” Glenn informed him politely.“Who are they?” He asked before turning over to her, all these while he had been staring into the bustling city through the panoramic view.“They refused to say who they were.” Glenn shook her head.After a long silence, he exhaled heavily.“Let them in.” He sat down on his seat and crossed his legs, Glenn bowed and left.Richester noticed her lingering affection for him and shunned her immediately so all the feeling she had for him turned into respect as she had to mind her lane if ever she wanted to keep her job.A few minutes after she lef
“[Breaking News: Dr. Mr. Richester Winston has been awarded as the best surgeon in the world.

That was the only way she could avert her anger.“You shouldn’t raise your voice at me! Do that to your stupid lawyer and low brains!” Stella cried out at her mother. “If you hadn’t forced me to divorce, at least I would have managed him till the end! But what did
“There is a problem, boss,” Harold said, his hands sweating as he flashed his laptop screen at Damien’s face. Damien looked at the laptop seriously.“How come? Who bought it and cleared our debt?” His brows furrowed.“The investor's status is incognito and can’t be spotted.” Harold sighed heavily, rubbing his forehead.“That’s good. We got our funds back and cornered Stella perfectly.” He began. “Then, we have to take their mansion and last properties to clear the remaining debts.” He said conclusively and Harold nodded.Madam Harriet and Stella walked into Mandela Hospital with confident strides, after bailing herself out of jail, she couldn’t wait to claim her hospital and start proceeding with her plans.“What’s my missed schedule?” Madam Harriet asked, dancing her fingers on the counter.“Schedule? Who are you please?” The receptionist at the front desk questioned while batting her lashes.“You - -” That was when it dawned on them that the entire nurse at the front desk had been c
“I’m here to - -” Stella hadn’t finished her statement when she saw some nurses rolling the hospital bed away from the jail area.Her eyes spotted someone familiar on the bed thus she left the front desk and rushed over to the nurses.“Wait.” She held the edge of the bed and the nurses stopped, wondering what was wrong with her.It was an emergency case.“Mum?” Her eyes dropped dead and became lifeless. “What happened to my mother?” She questioned angrily, staring at the nurses and one officer who was following them. “Did you forcefully kill my mother or something? What happened to my mother?” Her voice could be heard in the entire precinct as she was sounding like an insane pregnant woman.“Madam Stella, be calm. Your mother only fainted.” The officer explained to her rashly.“Only fainted? Did you call that only? How many times have you beaten her up to confess what she hasn't done?” She transferred her losses and anger at him, staring at him in disgust.The officer shook his head.
“Honey, honey,” Stella rushed into the mansion, sweating and breathing heavily. She almost bumped into Damien in the lobby.He had an inexpressive expression.“Honey, we are in trouble.” She panicked.He darted his eyes at her for a while before sighing.“Trouble? What have you done this time?” He asked, walking to the living room.“I didn’t cause anything, it's just that - - the thing is that - - you see, the problem is - -” She stuttered, unable to come clean to her husband. She was ashamed to tell him that she borrowed money from loan sharks and also afraid that he might make jest of her or insult her.“If you don’t have anything to say, then don’t disturb my peace because I’m in a hurry.” He sneered disgustingly.She was annoyed but she was in no position to get angry with him because he was her only hope. He had money. He had funds somewhere so he could help elevate her family since they needed it.“You see, I borrowed some funds from a loan shark and right now, the man is on my
