Lily's face scrunched up in disgust as she glared at the two people standing a few meters in front of her.

“What the fuck are you both doing here?!” Lily yelled, still finding it hard to believe that it was truly Andrew and Benita she was seeing.

“Have you both lost your minds? Of all places, you choose to bring your stinking self's to A and U group?” she sneered, staring at the both of them condescendingly

“We are actually here for a purpose Lily” Benita said calmly not quite understanding why lily was flaring up.

“What stupid purpose? I know why you are here”Lily snapped, her voice laced with disdain

“Really?” Benita asked, furrowing her eyebrows In confusion , as she wondered how Lily got to know about her contract with A and U.

But she didn't think deeply into it, “Maybe she might have gotten the information from some other source, after all the signing process would be aired and everyone would eventually get to know about it.”She thought

“Yes, you are right Lily, we are he

    “What!” Lily let out a loud shriek, her phone slipping off her hands. “What the hell just happened? Did I see clearly?” Mike asked, his eyes wide agape In shock He picked up Lily's phone and replayed the video, confirming what he just saw “This is real Lily, we got kicked out, but they allowed those bunch of trash to enter without any obstructions, impossible!”He yelled, pacing around restlessly as he muttered incoherent words under his breath.“They even bowed to them! Can you imagine?” Mike went out and on, blabbing in annoyance “Stop it Mike, stop it! don't ever play that video again, Infact give me my phone, I'm deleting it right now!” Lily said, snatching her phone from Mike's hand. She closed her eyes, deleting the video because she didn’t want to see it again, but when she opened her eyes, she realized she had pressed the wrong button, immediately the part where the guards bowed to Andrew and Benita showed, causing her to let out another ear piercing scream. She flung her

    As they drove home, Lily was unusually quiet and that got Mike's attention“Babe what's the problem you are not saying anything? What's on your mind?” Mike asked,as he flickered his gaze to Lily. Lily heaved a deep sigh, gently massaging her temple “There’s nothing much on mind, I'm just thinking of a way to teach those bastards a lesson that they would never forget in a hurry” Lily replied absentmindedly, her mind running wild with different thoughts. “You mean those two idiots? The pauper and the pauperess?” Mike asked mockingly Lily raised her eyebrows questioningly,a small smile crossing her face “Is there any word like that? Anyways I'm planning on meeting up with up with Mr. Vain, I need to discuss something important with him”she announced “Wait! The Mr. Vain we all know? Babe, what do you plan on discussing with him? That man is a very dangerous man, I heard he sleeps with anything in skirt, he's extremely dangerous and it's risky to go meet with him ”Mike said, his voice

    She continued, her voice barely above a whisper “This is what I have been praying for all these while, but now, It's here, I can't help but feel like a scam, I feel like I betrayed my friend” Benita said, as tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes. Andrew furrowed his eyebrows In surprise “No, you are not a scam Benita and you didn't betray anyone . You got this contract because you deserved it, you worked so hard for it, nothing more, nothing less.” Andrew said assuredly “I know but… “There are no buts Benita, Your company has huge potentials and there is no one else that deserves this more than you do”“But it was meant to be Lily's, and she thinks I stole it from her” Benita said as a stray tear rolled down her cheeks “Benita, you didn't steal anything from anyone, I want you to accept that you got this contract because you worked so hard for it, so you deserve it.”Andrew said soothingly “Lily was the one who let the opportunity slip from her grasp, and that has got nothing t

    Beep! Benita dived for her phone without delay as soon she heard the sound of a text notification. Her face stretched into a broad smile as she scrolled through her phone, reading the text message that just got in. “I accept your apology Benita, and I am very happy that the contract went to a befitting person. I wish you good luck,I will be having my birthday party this weekend, on Friday. How about you come over with Andrew?”Benita’s face broadened into more smiles after reading the text Lily had sent. As soon as Andrew dropped her at the hotel a few minutes, the first thing she did when she got in was to text Lily. She tried explaining her relationship with Andrew because she knew Lily had misunderstood them, she also sympathized with Lily for her contract loss. It was relieving for her to finally apologize even though she was doubtful that Lily wouldn't reply to her text,but she needed to get the heavy weight off her chest. But, seeing the text message Lily had just sent ba

    The club bubbled with excitement, as loud music played in the background “Happy birthday Lily” the people in the room echoed in unison as Lily cut her cake, her face beaming with smiles but underneath those smiles, her heart boiled with anger. Her gaze continually flickered to where Andrew and Benita were seated , and with each stare, her chest contrasted with more anger . She hated that they were here, but she had no other option as this was the only way to carry on with her plans. When she had stared enough, almost digging a hole to their heads, she decided it was time to commence with her plans and get rid of them so she could enjoy her party. She walked up to the center of room and announced excitedly “It's time for the games guys” She said and her words were met with a round of applause as everyone anticipated the game, all except Benita, who felt nervous at the mention of the word “Game” she had never been good at any type of game, so she avoided them all together.

    He had noticed that Benita was beginning to get drunk and he wasn't exactly comfortable with it. “No, Andrew, let me, it's the rule of the game” Benita said letting out a loud laughter “Benita, you are clearly drunk, here take this”Andrew said, handing over a glass of water to Benita “ I'm okay Andrew, I've got this, I'm not drunk yet, I'm just tipsy” Benita countered Andrew hesitated for a while his grip still firm on the glass , but then a thought flashed through his mind causing his grip to loosen around the glass,he had no reason to fear for Benita’s safety, he was going to let her have fun, after all he was here with her and that automatically meant she was safe, he would be the one to drop her off at the hotel even if she ends up getting too drunk. “Ok, but just this one”He said, loosening his grip around the glass entirely “Sure, this is the last one, don't worry I'm still sober”Benita giggled as she gulped down the vodka at one go. Seeing that her mission had

    Her beauty was beyond anything he had seen, and coupled with the fact that Lily had told him she had gotten her tipsy, —that would make it easier to get her in his bed. He thought, grinning with joy Benita noticed the man's gaze on her and began to draw her down the hem of her gown to cover her exposed thighs. She began to feel self conscious as she felt the man's gaze sizing her up like she was some goods up for sale, it become more disturbing to her when she stared back at the man to let him know that she was aware he was staring, but his gaze remained fixed on her as he began to walk closer. A normal person would have snapped off their gaze immediately they were caught staring—but this man was different, his lustful gaze was still glued to her. Benita thought, her heartbeat picking up “She's the perfect meal I need for tonight”Mr. Vain sneered, his lustful gaze undressing Benita as he got to where she was seated. Benita’s heartbeat pounded heavily against her chest as she

    “How dare you!” He growled again as he bent down, grabbing Benita’s neck “P.. p.. please”Benita choked out, her eyes protruding in fear as her life flashed before her. “P… p… p… please”She stuttered, tears streaming down her face but Mr Vain’s face remained cold, his grip tightening around her fragile neck. “Why now ? Why do I have to die just when I have gotten a breakthrough in my life ? Benita thought, more tears flooding down her face. Continually , she found herself glancing at the door,hoping that her savior would come to her rescue. But he was nowhere in sight She was all alone at the mercy of this cruel man and who knows if she would come out of this alive. At the thought of her possible death, cold chills ran down her spine. She closed her eyes in defeat but almost immediately, she felt Mr vain loosen his grip around her neck. He had waited to kill her and ask his men toss her body, but he changed his mind last minute. He still wanted her in his be

    Anastacia’s piercing scream shattered the room’s air, sending everyone’s gaze darting toward her. She clutched a mirror, her fingers trembling as her wide, panicked eyes locked onto her reflection. Her breathing quickened. Her lips quivered, words struggling to form as horror fiiled her face. Her face, moments ago smooth and radiant, now displayed dark blotches that sprawled across her skin. The spots that the glow bloom pill had supposedly erased had not only returned but multiplied, blooming in clusters. Her complexion paled under the heavy makeup, unable to mask the sudden discoloration. “What’s happening to my face?!” Anastacia’s voice cracked, panic spiraling in her tone. She rubbed her cheeks frantically as if she could scrub the blemishes away. “Why—why is this happening?” Gasps echoed around the dining room. “Oh my God!” someone shrieked. “Her face—it’s turning purple!” “How is this possible?

    The room went still. Then chuckles and murmurs spread like wildfire.Faces twisted with amusement, and eyes darted toward Andrew as if he was some kind of joke.“Really?”“Is he serious?”"A jar of honey?" Justin repeated, his voice dripping with disbelief. The laughter grew louder. Some people leaned back in their chairs, shaking their heads. Aunt Monica slammed her hand on the table. "You are shameless!" she barked, pointing an accusing finger at Andrew. "And you think you can be a part of this family? Never! The Ashtons don’t take in lunatics like you!" “A jar of honey... compared to a Glow Bloom Pill?” Someone tauntedMorin leaned back, grinning. “It’s alright. Not everyone can afford something special. It’s the thought that counts, I guess.”Andrew stayed calm. His face didn’t change. “It’s raw golden honey,” he said simply. “It's not regular honey"Anastasia rolled her eyes again.

Sooner or later, he’ll realize it’s impossible.”Morin, sitting comfortably at the table, smirked. He cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention. “Anastacia is mine,” he said confidently. “That fool will learn his place soon enough.”Some family members chuckled, nodding in agreement.Just then, the butler entered the room and bowed. “Mr. Andrew has arrived,” he announced.All eyes turned toward the door as Andrew stepped inside.

    The room fell into a suffocating silence.Andrew’s voice had cut through the air like a blade, his words sharp and cold.“Are you a real doctor,” he snarled, “if you call Crampile symptoms minor?”The herbal doctor’s assistant, a blonde-haired man with a permanent smirk, was the first to recover. He tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowing in suspicion. “And who are you to barge in here with wild accusations?”Andrew ignored him, his gaze fixed on the elderly man sitting in the leather chair. His skin was pale, a layer of sweat glistening on his forehead. His breath was slow, labored, as if every inhale took effort.“Sir, you’re infected with stage four Crampile disease,” Andrew said, his voice grave. “It’s a life-and-death situation. I don’t know what their motive is for lying to you, but if you don’t get proper treatment, you won’t last more than two days.”A sharp inhale came from the herbal doctor. His fingers twitched at his sides. His assistant’s smirk faltered, just for a secon

    The herbal doctor clenched his fists. “Sir, this is a mistake,” he said, his voice urgent. “This man will make everything worse.” The assistant nodded quickly. “I fear for what will happen. This is your health we’re talking about,Sir. Anything could go wrong.” The old man remained silent. His tired eyes studied Andrew. There was hesitation, doubt. But something else, too—curiosity. Andrew had named every symptom he was feeling without a single test. Even the ones he hadn’t told his doctors. That kind of accuracy wasn’t a guess. It was knowledge ,it showed that this man had experience and was quite good . At this point ,he wanted nothing more than to be free from the constant pains. “Get him what he needs,” the old man finally said. The herbal doctor stiffened. His assistant’s mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to protest, but one sharp look from the old man silenced him. Andrew folded his arms. “I need some specific herbs.” He listed them out, his voice firm.
