Chapter 7
Edwin took out a golden bank card from his purse, with the word ‘Emily’ written in black on the background. He held it low in his hands.“Young master, this is a special card made by our Portland conglomerate. All expenses under the conglomerate are free. There’s also a credit limit of 1 billion dollars and the password is your birthday.”“Please use it first.”Andre hesitated a bit before taking the card.“What about my mother?” Andre asked.“Madam is fine and hoping to see you face to face someday,” Edwin answered as he lowered his head.There was a short silence before Andre finally spoke.“Tell my mother not to worry about me. Tell her to fix a convenient day for us to eat within the range of next week.”“Yes, yes master,” Edwin replied as he watched Andre walk away, then stopped a taxi.Edwin knew his madam would rejoice greatly upon hearing his son's request.~~~Getting in the taxi, Andre breathed a sigh of relief.17 years of hardship of hardship had passed and it was time to make a change.First, he needed to fix his appearance and get some clothes.He apprised the taxi driver of his intended locationand he was driven there.Arriving at a clothing store, Andre stood confidently watching his reflection from the glass door, his eyes shielding some thoughts.He sauntered with a bright smile crawling on his oval face.The sales attendant rushed over to his side with a smiles on her face. “You’re welcome to Fenti stores.”“This way sir.” She gestured.Sophia! Andre read from the tag on the sales attendant chest.“Sir, what would you like to get from us?”“Clothes and shoes!” Andre chimed.Andre walked gently after the lady, answering her questions.“What brands, sir?”“Louis, Armani, Gucci, Adidas, yes, and any expensive brand.”The lady nodded and led Andre to a section where expensive brands were displayed.Andre took his time to select the clothes of his choice, before walking out of the section. He bumped into Yvonne and Willow Smith on his way to the payment section.“Look who we have here,” Yvonne let out a taunting cry. “A pathetic ex-husband.”Andre ignored her, finding his way out of her sight when he was roughly pushed back. She tried to demean him but the words hitched in her throat after meeting Andre’s pair of glaring eyes.She changed her words. “What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?” She rolled her eyes on him.Andre ignored her as if she were a non-existent variable and strolled away.Yvonne didn’t stop at that as she chased him down to the cashier's desk.“Oh, you saw the spree online that I was goin' to shop my wedding dress, and you rushed down here to stalk me?”Yvonne became irritated and pissed when Andre ignored her. How dare a mere scumbag like him ignored her?“Yvonne, you should leave that good-for-nothing boy, and let go on our shopping spree.” Smith urged but was waved off by Yvonne.Yvonne's mouth even dropped open when she beheld a golden violet card in Andre’s grasp. She grabbed it fiercely and stared at it in bewilderment.“Where did you steal this from?” She questioned with a wary glance.Andre stared at her in silence, and said, “Give that to me.”“No, you have to tell me where you stole this from!” Yvonne fired, her eyes scrutinizing the information on the card.‘Emily Lan-Spen…’ she read out with her furrowed brow.Emily? Why would Andre possess a golden card that wasn’t his? Was this given to him by his sugar mummy?“Just two days after our divorce and you’re already working as a gigolo for a wealthy woman, or should I say you stole it?”“Give that to me! Do not invite problems with your hands.” Andre caveated in a stern tone as he glared at her.“I’m not giving it to you!” She yelled. “Attention, please!”Yvonne drew the attention of the security, bystanders, the sales attendant, and the cashier to their ongoing saga.“I think someone might implicate you if he pays with this stolen card!” Yvonne raised the card above her head.And everyone gasped at the sight of the card. The golden card was a rare card given to only billionaires who were worth more than 800 billion dollars and with a lot of billion assets to their names.Andre was cast a judgmental look, his outfits being taken into consideration.Nah!They shook their head, he wasn’t worth a diamond card talk more a golden one. He must’ve stolen it.“Yes! The cops should be called ASAP!”“How could such a man acquire such a huge asset in his hand?”They cursed hard at Andre.“How do you know I’m not the owner of the card?” Andre inquired with bloodshot eyes and a deep tone,“Well, who wouldn’t know? Even the blind would testify to this.” Yvonne said, pointing to the ‘Emily’ which was written in black on the background of the card.“Who did you steal this from? Who’s the owner?” Yvonne ignored Andre's pair of glaring eyes, further engaging him in a prolonged talk which prompted Andre to grab the card from her grasp aggressively.“He should be arrested! He must’ve stolen the card!” Yvonne cried out.“If care is not taken with the way you are screaming, I think you might develop a goiter.” Andre mocked.“Madam, you should take it easy. How about, he inserts the card in the point of sale, and Input the correct password? If he gets it right, he will be refer to the Economic Financial Crime Commission, and if he doesn’t get the password correctly, he will be arrested and arraigned for court over theft.” A man in a swanky suit suggested from the crowd.“Agreed?” The man added to his words.“No, I think this is a besmirch of character, if I got it right, she’s going to jail. Three months in jail won’t be too much, right?” Andre grinned as he fixed his face on Yvonne.Chapter 8Yvonne rolled her eyes at his words and scoffed. How dare Andre threatened her with jail? “Bring it up!” She clapped. “Your level of confidence even when you’re at the brink of your downfall is something worthy to learn about; impressive.” “Input the card and put the password. If the password is incorrect, you’ll be arrested. If the pin is correct, then I’ll go to jail.” Yvonne uttered.A chorus of gasps escalated into the atmosphere at Yvonne’s words. How could she utter such a thing?Who’ll come to a big store to purchase something with a bank card without knowing the password?They couldn’t help but ponder.“Yvonne dear, you should renounce your words. You don’t worth going to jail because of this miserable being!” Willow tried to persuade Yvonne, but she was obstinate in her decision. She refused and was resolute in her decision.“Don’t you worry Willow, I knew Andre like the back of my palm.” Yvonne moved a step nearer to Willow. “He doesn’t even have a bank accoun
Chapter 9Andre’s anger dropped a bit as he sensed the genuine in Willow’s voice. He turned to face the men in black and said.“Who are you guys? Why surround me? You should pave the way and let me pass.” Andre instructed, his grip tightening on the shopping bag.The men took a step back and fell to their knees, with their heads bowed.This act of them stunned Andre and Willow.“Divine Doctor Mayer, we beseech you to follow us. Our old master is dying, he needs your mighty healing.”Andre’s eyes squinted in shock. Mayer? They must have mistaken him for someone else. His name is Andre Spencer and not Mayer.“I’m sorry, I’m not Mayer. You must have mistook me for someone else.” Andre said, trying to bypass them but his knees were held down.“Doctor, we are sure it’s you.” The one who had held Andre by his knees said in a graver tone. “You told us to come here at exactly 8 pm.”Andre’s eyes widened. He didn’t tell anyone to visit him. They must have mistaken him.Willow on the other hand
Chapter 10Andre overhead how the lady was being insulted, and his heart weighed with ache.He was once in this lady’s shoes. An object of ridicule in the hands of his mother-in-law and wife.He knew the doctor was going to fumble, but decided to stay quiet for a while.Just as they approached the lady, the man from earlier on stopped to bow his head to the lady.“Young mistress, this is the man evict you’ve instructed us to bring.” The man announced Andre’s presence to the lady,The lady’s once dark face brightened up with a wash of excitement, but this expression didn’t last long as she beheld Andre's physique.Andre was dressed in a casual outfit, although he looked charming but too unbelievable.How could a man like Andre heal her grandfather? He doesn’t look as powerful as the old man had described him.Back then, she heard about an ancient physician whose hands had healed several people, and her grandfather was sick. Sasha asked around and was directed to a remote village.Coinc
Chapter 11Patriarch Rollins rolled his eyes from his granddaughter to Andre, who was dressed in casual yet luxurious attire."Is this who you have brought to treat me?" He inquired with a hint of mockery in his tone.Sasha nodded shamefully, lowering her gaze."I thought you were sensible, but your actions proved me wrong. Did not he seem like a con man to you?" His tone was agitated as he asked. "Grandpa, please believe in me and allow him to treat you." Sasha went to her knees and pleaded, but was cut off by her uncle's yell."Come on, shut up!" To calm things down, Patriarch Rollins raised his hands in the air. "What makes you believe he can save me?" Rollins inquired as he coughed blood, nearly passing out.Sasha responded after swallowing a lump in the back of her throat. "Because he is a Chinese doctor, and I believed in him.""You…" Rollins was about to yell at her when he had his ninth heart seizure of the day.Sasha's uncle instructed the doctor to restore Rollins' health
Chapter 12.It was like a joke when Andre had said he will wake Patriarch Rollins, so they all laughed at him and stared as if he had grown four head."Wake up a dead man?" They rolled their eyes and scoffed at him. They turned and gave Sasha a menacing stare. "Sasha, what sort of man did you bring here? A con man? Was it necessary to bring him here to humiliate yourself?"Sasha's self-esteem plummeted, and she wished that the earth would open up and swallow her.She would not have brought Andre if she had known what kind of man he was."Please take me to the old man. I will wake him up; he is still alive.""Are you too dumb to understand that my father is no longer alive?" Badmus yelled, a vein protruding from his forehead.Sasha seized Andre's hands and dragged him to a corner. She released her hands and looked into his eyes. "Could you please explain what you mean by my grandfather being alive? How certain are you? If you are sure, I can take you in there with no one stopping me.
Chapter 13They all stared at Andre with a menacing tone. “I can’t feel the pain in my veins anymore. I felt whole and sinewy!” Patriarch Rollins cried out, and the tensions in the air plummeted.IThey all rushed towards Patriarch Rollins, their hands tightly wrapped around his waist. They scrutinized his entire body and sees that it was true.Patriarch Rollins even sprang to his feet, his face warmed up with smiles. He threw his limbs and leg in the air.“Which of the doctor did this?”“Father_”“Grandpa, it’s was the divine doctor whom I’ve bought to treat you.” Sasha said to interrupt her uncle.“Is that true?” Patriarch Rollins rolled his eyes to his son, Badmus.Badmus wanted to praised himself , but Sasha was quick to cast him a glaring pairs of eyes, so he shut licked his bottom lips and shut up.The rest of the family having wait for Badmus to speak, have no other options but to answer yes.“Yes, father. The young doctor from…”Sasha shoved her phone in the air at Badmus, an
Chapter 14“We will just run a low-key wedding for them,” Badmus said to patriarch Rollins. “You do not expect us to waste our money on their useless wedding. If Sasha had wanted an elaborate wedding, she would have married from a wealthy family and not an ordinary employee.”Drake added.“I would have loved to invite top family to attend Sasha’s wedding.” Patriarch Rollins said to the ongoing conversations.Both Badmus and Drake's eyes widened in shock. They clenched their fist and gritted their teeth in detest.Why would Sasha be regarded as a crucial being? Her father was just useless anyway.“Father, why would you invite top family when your granddaughter has decided to marry a poor man who would not elevate our status? Won't other prominent families cut off with us if they ever found out about this marriage? I'll advise you to think about the disadvantages and then the benefits of hosting a buoyant wedding for Sasha.” Badmus said with rage in his heart but he managed to hide it.
Chapter 15‘He who is to kill me is yet to be born!” Andre's hands encircled into a fist, and a deep frown settled at his forehead.“Mother, panic not. I'll definitely get him.” Andre uttered in a reassuring tone, then rose to his feet and stormed out of the room.“Andre, please dont act reckless. He seems to be powerful and no one have ever able to get him not even the fastest assassin in the usa.” his mother's voice erupted in the air and echoed.She coughed blood, and it sprinkled on the bedsheets which were white in color.In a raspy and uncleared voice, Andre's mother lifted her gaze and said. “Edwin, do you think my son will act stupid? Do you think he wont be as smart as me or his biological father? He just ran out of the hou_” her words died on her tongue as Andre emerged from the door with a tray in his grasp.He strode towards his mum, and flashed some smile. His mother stunned and bewildered have her mouth parted.Andre dropped the tray by a small table, on the tray was a c
