Carol froze in horror, her heart pounding in her chest. Before taking a seat, George turned and shut the door behind him. He drove straight from the house to the hospital. He was smelling filthy, his face was flushed and he appeared to be burning.Carol maintained her position, silently watching him take off his jacket and unbutton his sleeves."All I want are the right answers to my questions, and I will leave you alone," he finally said, still panting slightly.Carol tried to move her hands beneath her sheets. She was certain her phone was on the left side of the bed. Unfortunately, her trembling hands pushed the phone, causing it to fall to the side of the bed with a bang.George cocked his neck in annoyance. He stood up, picked up the phone, and placed it on the other side of the medicine tray."As I previously stated, I do not wish to harm you. I only want correct answers to my questions."Carol swallowed hard and straightened her back."Where is " THAT THING?""What?" she asked,

"Please Daniel aunt made me promise not to tell you," Zain tried calming him down. "If you do anything stupid, you will only stress her out," he added.Daniel swallowed hard, his friend was right, staying calm and waiting for his aunt to wake up was the better option rather than using his emotions.He quietly took a seat and after going over all of their plans for selling the gold, he became calm and walked back into his aunt's room. He had already given George the house, but it appeared that he was not going to stop harassing his aunt.When she awoke, she told him everything and made him swear not to confront George. They planned to make it appear as if Daniel was unaware of the Relic.George Meyers was a dangerous man. That was a fact, that his aunt did not want him to forget especially if he planned to go after him. Underestimating one's enemy always resulted in regret. She could only assume that was exactly what George was going through. That was if he believed her story.Daniel c

"DETECTING INJURY," the female voice said as the pearls opened up and collagen sprouted out, covering the entire cut on his figure.Daniel watched in awe, his eyes wide open. He remembered the letter in the wooden box with the relic, stating its healing properties. He sat there, half scared and half amazed at the advanced technology that he was witnessing.His finger stopped bleeding in seconds, and the cut closed up leaving no scar or sign of there being a cut. In awe, he stared at his finger.The relic then turned its attention to his STI device on the floor, declaring again in his head, "DEVICE MALFUNCTIONING," and it quickly began repairing it. All of the components were brought together in seconds, and the system was given a boast which resulted in it turning on. It sampled Daniel's blood which was all over the floor. The watch-shaped device moved and clung to his wrist."CHLAMYDIA, GONORRHOEA, and SYPHILIS Testing on Daniel Lane's Blood," the mechanical voice then announced, an

With the first prize trophy and a cheque in hand, the three friends ran to the back room to celebrate their first prize win, yelling in delight.Everyone, including their classmates, was talking about the STI scanner. Not only was it portable, but it also provided the privacy that most students sought. So everyone felt they deserved the first prize without complaints.The three boys were busy cheering when their class coordinator entered the room, congratulating them. He was not alone, he walked in with two gentlemen and introduced them as CEOs of a biotech company. The STI app piqued a lot of people's interest. The two CEOs congratulated them, shaking their hands, and stated their intentions regarding the device. They wanted to be the first ones to get the device under their name.Max smiled with delight as he looked around at his friends. Even though the night had not yet ended, they were already receiving offers."We can set up a room to discuss the next steps," one of the CEOs su

"Aunt!" Daniel dashed to the side of the bed, hoping to wake her up. "Aunt! Aunt! Aunt!" He kept calling out.The nurses rushed into the room, having gotten the emergency alert on their pagers. They moved Daniel away. "Please move, let us do our work," they yelled at him.Zain quickly moved him away. They both had no idea what was going on. Some seconds ago, she was beaming and eating pizza with them. She was fine and looked good."We're going to lose her,'' one of the nurses said, yelling at the two boys to leave the room. The second nurse quickly paged the doctor."What exactly is going on?" Daniel, who was clearly terrified, inquired. However, the nurses were busy signaling each other as their gazes were drawn to the bloody handkerchief.Daniel noticed the handkerchief as his heart began racing. "What is that?... Where did it come from?" As Zain led him outside, he kept asking. He could feel strong hands pressing against him. They had to leave the room so that the medical staff co

Daniel stood up and looked around the room. It fell silent, he could only hear the beeping of the life support machines. He took a long, hard look at his aunt. She didn't deserve to be hooked up to machines on the bed while he had the Relic."Don't worry, aunt; I'll find a solution," he said softly as he kissed her cheeks. He quickly wiped his tears away as he gathered himself. He needed to read the letters carefully and patiently. Every time he had attempted to read them, he was always interrupted.He walked out of the room, texting his friend Zain of his intentions to go home and freshen up. Zain replied and asked him to take all the time he needed. He arrived at the apartment and read the letters word for word, looking for any mention of full activation, but to his disappointment, none of the paragraphs went into detail.He threw the letters on the floor in frustration, screaming. The details he was looking for were not in there and his aunt who had an idea of what he was looking

He read the coded messages slowly and carefully, paying close attention to every detail. The coded message, like the main letter, included warnings about losing his life if the relic was overused or misused. However, there was a mountain of physical and mental processes that he needed to complete before reaching full activation.The full activation was not a one-button operation, but he needed to understand the Relic and how it works by starting small in order to build a relationship between the host and Relic.Daniel paused, trying to grasp the concept of "host." It appeared that the relationship would be that of a parasite and a host. Like a worm sucking on its human host. If the human's immune system was weak then the worm would take over and dry the life of its host. So he needed years of physical and mental preparation, his mind and body needed to be ready to accept the relic. "No no no," he exclaimed.His aunt required a quick solution to get her out of the coma, not the idio

Daniel thanked the three gentlemen once more, not wanting to appear like a gossiper. He was about to say his goodbye leave when the door slammed open and a furious George Meyers stormed in breathing fire. Daniel had to move to the corner of the room his eyebrows raised. He understood the man had influence but it appeared he had no manners too."Which of you idiots removed my son's name from the scholarship list?" he yelled, his eyes shooting invisible arrows at the two.The three men exchanged glances, while Daniel remained stationed in the room's far corner not wanting his beautiful day to be ruined."I'm talking to you, bustards! If you do not reinstate my son, I will sue you and the entire university!" He yelled, causing echoes.The coordinator was the first to speak, urging him to calm down and respect the men in the room. George Meyers always behaved as if owned the school which made the coordinator detest the man. "I will only relax if I am told why my son was removed from the

A week threw by with Daniel going back to his life and concentrating on his companies. He had a lot of pending projects that he needed to start and finish.He was aware that there were a lot of questions about the partner or who took his sperm, but life had to go on. He and Rexa needed to start doing what they were intended to do and changing a lot of lives. Though Josh's issue kept nagging him. The man was yet to decide whether to walk or save his brother. Cathy also went back to her old life; clearing her death certificate was not that difficult, though the country was shocked by the turn of events. She took the initiative and moved into Daniel's mansion, even though her mother was against it. But she felt Daniel was too slow and that he was going to lose his concentration on their relationship and instead focus on the company.Carol did not mind, Cathy was good company even though her stay meant constant visits from Rachel who was too annoying and violent for her liking.As for

Daniel placed both the heart and the brain in different cooler boxes, took two long trips to different parts of the country, and buried them both in different locations.His wish was for the old man to never see the sun or daylight again and for the stories of his existence to be a mere myth and forgotten with time.Once he was done, he instructed Rexa to delete the memory of the location in his head. Even Rexa went for it and deleted hers too si that Daniel's future generation would never locate the two organsHe went back for his body and burnt it while Max and his mother's bodies were taken back to the underground lab for the police to find, and the cause of death was ruled as lead poisoning from the leakage from the mine due to the blackout. By the time he headed home, it was morning, and all he wanted was to get some good sleep. He went straight to his mansion and found Aunt Carol on her feet, training her legs."It's over now, we can now pop that champagne," he announced.Aunt

"If you want to live, stay calm and answer her questions!" Daniel warned them.He knew he was no longer in control, and Rexa was controlling everything using her own mind.Max tried to move his aching body across the room. Everything hurt; he felt like he had been tossed by an elephant on thorny rocks.Daniel moved closer to the bed, curious to see what Rexa was earlier calling a non-living thing."Move away from him!" Angela yelled at him.But he ignored her and was meant with a greyish-blackish tone of mass. It was human from the shape of the head and body, but the skin looked like it was about to rot but paused.He gulped as if he were about to vomit; it was not smelling, but the sight was nauseating."How dare you?" The old man yelled at him."What the fuck is this?" Daniel asked, looking in Angela's direction, but she looked away."A MAN THAT REFUSED TO DIE," Rexa popped up, "AND I THINK HIS CONDITION HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE TOOK ON THAT SHIP," she added."Shit, I guess

"What did you just say?" Daniel asked."RODRICK IGRAM IS ALIVE, YOUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER'S FRIEND, THE ONE THAT DIED," Rexa replied.Daniel shook his head, "That's impossible, how old was my grandfather when he first found you?" "18 YEARS OLD, SAME AGE AS RODRICK.""So that means Rodrick was born in 1807, and that would make him over 200 years old.""DANIEL, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS; HE HAS TENS OF NEEDLES STICKING OUT OF HIS BODY, IT'S HIM; I KNOW IT'S HIM," Rexa replied.Inside the lab, Max called for backup and tried to get the magnates working, but without electricity, they were useless."She is here," his grandfather whispered."Who?""The relic, she is here," he replied with glittering eyes.Max quickly checked his camera footage and asked his men to search for Daniel, but they could not find anything."That's impossible, Daniel is nowhere near here.""She can manipulate sound or any form of matter, so do not expect to see Daniel near here," his grandfather laughed.Max

"Anyone try to touch those guns and I swear, I will blow off their heads!" He warned on top of his voice.Rachel stared at him, shocked, while Cathy and Craig held each other's hands and moved to the other corner.Daniel removed his phone and made a call, instructing someone to come and guard the house. He ended the call and looked in Rachel's direction."Please stay in this house, and I will deal with everything," he assured her."You have no right to threaten me," she finally replied. "Actually I do, or maybe you want me to snap Mateo back into reality, and believe me, he still has men outside prison who he can hire and take you out!" Daniel warned.Rachel began biting her lips as all her words disappeared from her lips. Daniel just threatened her, he threatened her in front of her children."Mom, just do what Daniel is asking you to," Cathy finally spoke."Quiet!" Rachel yelled, breathing heavily."Watch what will come out of your mouth, because I am ready to make you sleep until

When morning came and news of George Meyers' arrest was all over the news. Daniel, who had not slept because of the tunnel below Max's hospital, sat next to his aunt, who was in tears.Finally, the day she had always hoped for came after her five years in a coma, but it was worth the sleep. She held her nephew's hand with tears in her eyes."You did it," she whispered. "Your parents are looking down happily on their son."Daniel smiled at her."I will pop the wine after I get the head behind the order," he replied."Did you talk to Max?" She asked.Daniel analyzed her question, "Did you know about his real parents?" He asked."He confessed when I was in my coma," she replied. "I hope you understand he is just a victim of his family's greed.""I know we talked, though I had to kidnap him in order to make him talk," he confessed."What? Please tell me you did not hurt him." "Of course not; he is fine," Daniel assured her.Cathy, who was taking a shower, finished up and joined them."Gr

Daniel slowly took a seat, trying to process everything. His best friend was Max's half-brother. He stared long and hard at him. There was a little resemblance physically and even in the way they carried themselves with the "I do not care" attitude, though Max was a total jerk if one did not know him personally.Zain was a more free type compared to Max, who always seemed to be above others. It was only after some time that he eventually warmed up. He wondered if that was part of the plan so that he could not suspect anything.He had a lot of questions in his head and a lot of memories kept popping up, but he could not comprehend the fact that the partner was around him all this time and neither George nor Josh or Gabriel suspected anything."Are you the one that shut down power at the Jerk's hospital?" Zain asked, trying to snap him out of his thoughts."Yeah, there is a private elevator in the hospital that leads underground, right?" Daniel asked."Tell me where Kendall is, and I wi

Craig's heart began beating fast, and he was not sure how to react. The old man was sick in the head. He had held the man in high esteem, but knowing the man personally, made him want to vomit.First, he forced his niece to have sex against her will, and when that was not enough, he even went further and stole sperm from the man he drugged her with."Are we together?" Josh asked.Craig cleared his throat."Does Daniel know about this sperm?" Craig finally asked."No…," Josh replied. "This is about freeing your sister, but if you want, you can tell Daniel and ruin your chances.""This is betraying Daniel!" Craig raised his voice. "What kind of person are you?""Does Daniel know about the contract you signed with the partner?" Josh asked with a smile.Craig looked away."So what you are doing is not betraying, but what I am doing is betraying?" He asked. "If I am not correct, I would guess that you are going to allow Daniel to have a child that will be owned by the partner?" He asked.

Daniel clenched his shaking hand, realizing how deep the betrayal was. A voice deep inside of him told him to go upstairs and confront them, but another voice told him to stay calm and use his head."WE FOUND THE PARTNER, DANIEL," Rexa whispered in excitement. "THIS EXPLAINS HOW ZAIN KNEW ABOUT THE RELIC FROM CHILDHOOD," she added.Daniel closed his eyes; he was not as excited as she was. He was somehow disappointed and not impressed that it turned out to be Max's family.But he was going to give credit where it was due. They hid perfectly in plain sight and knew when to show their faces. "WHAT'S THE PLAN?" Rexa asked, eager to take Max down."Shut down the building!" Daniel replied"WHAT?" Rexa was a bit confused."Electricity, Internet, I mean everything, shut it down!" He ordered"DANIEL, THIS IS A HOSPITAL, AND PEOPLE WILL DIE," Rexa warned."That's where generators come in," he replied, his tone a bit shaky. "DANIEL, WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH LIVES," Rexa warned.Daniel
