He had no idea what to do and even his mind froze in place as he quickly searched that schematic mind of his for his next kind of action.

He couldn’t possibly tell Nora that Kai had always been the one getting the meds while he merely took credit for it.

Jake knew that he had to do something but the question now was what and just when he was drowning in his dilemma, the sound of his sister’s painful wince jolted him out of his thoughts.

“Jake! I really need the medicine, I need to take it now or this pain is going to get out of control.” Nora said with urgency and her pain obvious in her voice.

“Just wait for me! I’ll go and get the medicine right away!” Jake said with conviction, “I won’t let anything happen to you!” He added before hanging up the phone.

He rushed to the nearest pharmacy to get Nora a cheap painkiller. He had hoped that was going to ease her pain in the meantime while he thought.

Knowing how severe Nora’s case was, Jake knew that he had to somehow find a way to get t

    Nora’s stomach pain became so severe that her vision started getting blurry, she fought hard to remain conscious but it felt like she was going to faint.“My. Phone.” She forced the words out as she asked Jake to help her get her phone but Jake was still worried about leaving her.“It’s right on the table, I need to call Lila! I’ll be fine.” The words rushed out of her mouth in a bid to put Jake’s mind at ease.Scanning the room with his eyes, they soon landed on the phone that was on the table and without hesitation or a second thought, he rushed to get it.Jake never really cared about the Benson family, he didn’t care about anything but their money, the inheritance and he couldn’t let Nora die too.He knew that soon everything would become his so all he had to do was act as if he wanted Nora to live, as if he liked Kai and Kai was the one who didn’t like him back.“If I knew, I would have found a way to get the name of the herb from him.” Jake said to himself while Nora scrolled th

    Kai smiled heartwarmingly, he was finally going to be amongst people that make him feel wanted and among. People that wouldn’t do anything to betray or sabotage him.“We will be going to the private dining area, they are already waiting for us there.” Catherine said and just before they could step in, Kai felt pressed.He needed to use the restroom as soon as possible and Catherine was worried at first but when Kai explained that it was nothing major, she calmed down.“Where is the private dining area?” Kai asked Catherine who immediately told him how he was going to get there.“Very well then,” Kai said when Catherine was done showing him directions, “I’ll be there in a minute so you wait for me, please.” He added politely.Catherine’s face immediately turned red and her cheek felt so hot that it was almost as if she had gotten sunburned as she smiled at him.It was very rare to see men as wealthy as Kai be so humble and respectful to the people around them and even though he only kn

    “I’m sorry for the disturbance and whatever inconvenience it might have caused.” Kai said calmly to the restaurant manager.“I’m not who they claim I am, actually,” Kai said politely with a smile while pushing the thoughts of the Benson family to the deepest, darkest part of his mind.He doesn’t need to worry himself about them when he has other things to worry about.“I’m actually a guest dining in a private room.” He explained as politely as he could but while Lila bursted out laughing hysterically, the manager eyed Kai suspiciously.It was clear that even the manager was holding back his urge to laugh because there was no way he’s going to believe that Kai was really dining in the private room.The private room is reserved for people that are extraordinarily wealthy, it was for people who had made a huge name for themselves and not for people that looked like Kai.“Really?” The manager asked, still eyeing Kai suspiciously. He found it extremely difficult to believe that someone lik

    On hearing that, the manager broke out in a cold sweat, his legs going weak as he bowed respectfully and apologized repeatedly.“I am so sorry ma’am! I’m really sorry, ma’am, I had no idea that he was your guest.” He apologized, desperate to get Catherine to spare him.His heart thudded rapidly against his chest and his fear was obvious in his eyes and the way the color drained from his face.He didn’t expect that Kai was an important guest, especially a guest of the most important customer of the restaurant. The manager knew that no matter how much he tried, he could never get another customer like Catherine.Also, losing a customer like her would spell doom for them and that was the last thing he wanted, anger for the Benson family brimmed inside him as he apologized again.“Sir, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to—”“Let’s just go inside,” Kai said to Catherine, ignoring the manager who was trying to apologize to him because the damage had been done already.If Catherine hadn’t come

    Lila’s brows drew together in a frown as anger took over the entirety of her facial expression. Her teeth gritted so hard that even Jake could hear it.She clenched her fist, anger was suffocating her and she was not only restless but she felt as though there was a volcano inside of her that was at the verge of eruption.Her fist balled up in anger, her frustration kicked in and fury twisted dangerously inside her. She couldn’t believe that Kai now had the audacity to go that far.“I CANNOT BELIEVE HIM!” She said through gritted teeth, her body shaking furiously and all she could see through her angry bloodshot eyes were red.She wanted to deal with him, to let him know that he had no right whatsoever to humiliate them like that, she wanted to put him in his place.“And that wench! I can’t believe her!” Lila’s breathing paced as she spoke and frantically dialed her phone, her fury was obvious in her body language.“She got us blacklisted?! She got us blacklisted from the most prestigi

    Kai couldn't help but marvel at the realization—the Grant family practically controlled half the city, yet few knew about the tight-knit connection between these powerful figures.He wondered how they were able to keep their connection under wraps, a secret, from the entire world because only few knew about this.“Well, thank you so much for accepting me.” Kai said. He had no idea what to say or how to show them that he was indeed grateful for having them in his corner.Teresa and Catherine only smiled, Lorenzo snickered and Shadow could be seen desperately wishing that the dinner would end because he wanted to go home.“Shadow; how many times have I told you that you need to socialize more, you need to get in the sun and not mope around your house all day.” Catherine laughed as she said.“Leave him alone, Catherine, he might be the legendary hacker but he definitely is the baby of the group.” Teresa cut in as she poured Shadow a drink.“Don’t worry, Shadow, you let me know if anyone

    “WHAT?!” Catherine almost lost her cool and choked on the wine she was drinking while Shadow and Teresa looked at each other in a bit of confusion.Catherine had just started to calm down, she had brought Lorenzo to order and she felt like that was going to do something but it was painfully obvious that she was wrong.Lorenzo’s eyes beamed with joy as he waited for Kai to accept his challenge while rage pounded in Catherine’s ear and her fist clenched.The veins on her forehead almost looked as though they were about to pop because of how extremely furious she was.“Did that slap do nothing to you at all?” Catherine asked as she stomped to Lorenzo, holding him in a headlock, “how fucking dare you?!” She snarled.She wasn’t just furious to the point that she could murder Lorenzo if given the chance but she was also worried and a bit scared for Kai.“Who gave you the right to challenge Mr Grant to a duel?” She asked, still choking the living daylight out of him, “are you letting your ar

    Lorenzo charged at Kai, ready to hit him but Kai effortlessly dodged and seized the opportunity to land a few solid punches. Kai held Lorenzo's wrist and after the punch, gave him a really hard smackdown.“OH!” Teresa and Shadow both cheered in unison but Lorenzo was taken aback, he was astonished by Kai’s combat skills.“That was just a warm up.” He said in a vague attempt to save face and again, he came at Kai head on but Kai who didn’t feel the need to go all out only moved his ankle swiftly so that he was standing behind Lorenzo.Lorenzo couldn’t believe how fast Kai moved and his entire thinking went foggy at once when Kai gave him a knee strike, controlling it and making sure it wasn’t strong enough to do real damage.“You said you weren’t going to go easy on me, Lorenzo,” Kai said, standing behind Lorenzo, “what, are you trying to mock me?” Kai asked.Lorenzo couldn’t believe it, he wasn’t trying to go easy on Kai and if anything, he was giving it his all but it just seemed lik

    “We’re here!” Fabio said happily as soon as they got to the golf course and Kai had expected to meet more people but the course was quiet.He didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him that his grandfather owned the course and the only people on it are probably the people that maintained it.Now is the right time to spend some alone time with his grandfather and ask as many questions as possible.“What were my parents like?” Kai asked as they took turns hitting the golf ball and Fabio only smiled as memories upon memories hit him.He had avoided talking about Kai’s parents for so long but he knew that a day like this was definitely coming and he would have to talk about them.He felt like Kai must have forgotten about his real family because another effect of the potion the Benson family fed him is the long term memory loss.Traveling down memory lane, Fabio couldn’t stop talking about Kai’s father and all the things he had accomplished, he was proud of his son and daughter in-law and even

    It’s way past the timeline and Nora couldn’t give Kai the antidote that the family had made mandatory for her.They were all panicking even though they all did a good job trying to act as though they weren’t really bothered about it.Everyone in the Benson family was on edge, waiting for the mysterious family to contact them so that they could lay out their proposals.The sound of the phone going off almost gave them a heart attack, their heart thumped and Nora, especially could feel terror gripping at her.Fear, stark and vivid shone in her eyes as she walked towards the burner phone with different kinds of thoughts in her head but the most dreadful of them all is watching her family die.“Hello?” She said into the phone, sweeping her fear under the rug and swallowing, holding her head up high as she acted as though everything was okay.“Nora Benson.” The robotic voice called and Nora felt her bones almost jump out of her skin, her stomach tightened into a knot and she shuddered.“Ye

    Fabio Grant had called a meeting with the most prestigious and powerful people all across the world because he wanted to help his grandson move forward with the case.The board room was filled with people who had attended the meeting virtually, all of whom had put everything they were doing on hold to help the Grant family.“I have searched far and wide, I’ve even had men disbursed all over Africa but not one of them has come across that potion.” A man said, he was dark in complexion and he had an accent.Fabio groaned, his search seemed to be hitting a really huge dead end these past days and he had gotten too excited when he found out the ingredient of the potion.He had even assured Kai that he was going to find the culprit but none of the people that worked in close quarters with him had found out anything.Fabio made sure to pay the most important scientist ever heard off and he’d asked them to search for that potion but even then haven’t made a breakthrough.“Herbs like that can

    “JESUS CHRIST! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!” Nora and Lila both exclaimed when they saw Jake. His eyes were so swollen that they almost looked closed.His lips were bursted and he looked so bruised and battered with his torn and bloodied clothes and face. It was obvious that even Jake wasn’t expecting the turn of events.He had been expecting them to come back with good news and Kai but instead the majority of them came back with bruises and broken bones and those who could still move ganged up on him.While he was being beaten up to stupor, others belonging to the gang joined in and when he had asked what had happened for them to be so brutal with him, they didn’t say anything.All they did was cut ties with him and as he made his way back home, no one had helped him because the gang also took his car.“Did you get in an accident? Why didn’t you call us? How did this happen?” Lila asked as they both guided their little brother to the chair.Jake was going to lie and say that Kai did it but

    “I’m so sorry for the embarrassment, Mr Grant, I should have told the security never to let Gina Murphy back into the company.” Catherine apologized.“You don’t have to apologize, Catherine,” Kai said as he took a sip of his coffee, “it’s not your fault and you couldn’t have known that they were coming.” He added.Catherine felt responsible for what happened and despite what Kai had just said, she still thought that her sloppiness was what had caused Gina to come back to the company.If Gina had been the only one then she wouldn’t have gotten as mad as she was right now but she had Lila Benson with her, a member of the family that had made life hard for Kai.“That is never going to happen again.”bCatherine assured Kai who nodded with a smile as he kept on eating.When Catherine had handled the whole thing, he had almost forgotten about it. He had other things that he needed to worry about and the Benson family are not even on the list of those things.“I also sent the word out to our

    The entire Benson family was in disarray and to protect her family, Nora had no other choice but to keep the dark truth to herself even though she was going crazy deep within her.“I need you to find him for me…..” The veins in her forehead looked like they were going to burst as her teeth gritted. All of her attempts to call for help only proved futile.It’s almost as though Kai was already invincible and the people who could actually approach and bring him to his knees are the same people that wouldn’t even help the Benson family.“What do you mean you can’t help us anymore?” Nora yelled, her grip tightened around the phone and she had gotten so close to smashing it against the wall.“WHAT?! This family has been nothing but good to you! We have helped you in times of trouble and you dare say….." the sound of the incessant beep was enough to tell Nora that she’d been hung up on.“ARGGHH!” She screamed, her voice heavy with frustration as she threw the phone on her bed and ran her fin

    “Wait— A— Are you sure you heard her right?” Nora asked, panicking, her heart was palpitating and she felt like she was going to pass out as soon as Gina and her sister gave her the news.“Yes, we heard her loud and clear, she told us that we’ve been black listed and I really don’t think that after this any other company would want us.” Lila responded.She sank into the couch, her eyes were almost rolling and her head hurt as she pinched the bridge of her nose but all anger was directed to Kai.Her anger, hatred and disgust for Kai only got even higher and it was beyond control, she also couldn’t understand why Kai doesn’t seem like that.“That idiot, Kai, was with her,” she said in a low tone as her sister sat on the couch right next to her, “he had this arrogant smile and he just pisses me off.” She added through gritted teeth.“Does he look sick? Do you think he’s going to come for the antidote because, you know, he could die without it.” Nora said and Lila looked over at Gina.She

    “What were you trying to do, Gina?” Catherine demanded, she was livid and wanted to slap Gina right there and then but she needed to keep calm.She definitely can’t be seen losing her calm composure especially in a place where there are lots of cameras.“M— Mi— Miss Catherine, I s— s— s— swear it’s not what you think, we were jusssssstttt catching up.” Gina lied, fumbling her words as she stuttered.“Oh really?” Catherine responded, tightening her grip around Gina’s wrist so much that Gina couldn’t hold back the wince that made its way out of her mouth.Catherine was hurting her but only Gina and Catherine knew that because there was a sweet smile on Catherine’s face and anyone would think that they were only having fun.“You want me to believe that you were just catching up with my boyfriend with your hands raised on him?” Catherine asked through gritted teeth.Her aura was scary and intimidating and Gina always knew that she couldn’t compete with a woman that became a CEO at a very
