Douglas nodded, he leaned forward with his hand on the desk. “ I want him humiliated and killed, but first I want to see him face to face before you kill him. I want him to feel the pain I felt when his guards were beating me. I want him to know that I, Douglas Reed. Is untouchable in Brentwood.” He uttered in desperation.“When Elizabeth sees that her new lover is no more she would come back begging for my love. Then will I decide if I would accept her back or not,” he said sarcastically.Juan Pablo raised his eyebrows at Douglas, he puffed more smoke into the air. “Douglas, I have heard everything you said. You know if you want my help, you will have to pay a price.” Juan reminded Douglas.He shook his head in understanding, he grasped the content of Juan’s words. “I am ready to pay whatever price, all I want is for the job to be done.” He said in a mean and determined tone.Juan shook his head slightly, “You have nothing to worry about. I will get him and bring him to you, then you
The number rang and after a few minutes the call got connected, without hesitation Diane Carter voiced out. “Hello, Mr. Ryan.”“Hello, send me your location. I am willing to help you save your mother.” He said in a low tone.“Thank you, Mr. Ryan. I will send a private jet and my driver will be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive.” Diane said softly and politely.He terminated the call while calling his secretary, Susan and the Vice president Mrs. Juliet Benjamin informing them about his absence from work.He moved towards the staircase hurriedly, his face was engrossed with concern for the woman. He met his butler by the door, he was prepared to accompany his boss to his office.“Good morning, young master,” Nicolas said with a smile.“Good morning, Nicolas. I have an emergency in Johnson City, I need to be there in an hour. Get the car ready.” He said, with his voice barely above a whisper.“Johnson City,” Nicolas exclaimed.Ryan nodded his head in response, “Is there any
Ryan sighed deeply and mouthed. “I will need to help reduce the effect of the overdose.” He said.Diane nodded weakly as she listened intently to everything Ryan was saying, “Please, we are ready to do anything or pay any amount for her to be back on her feet.” Diane said.“Diane, I will need some time to perform the healing process. I don't want any distractions and I will need your help as well.” Ryan said.“How can I assist you?” Diana asked.“You need to help me with some boiled water, place it in a bowl and come with a clean hand towel,” Ryan mentioned what he needed for the treatment.Nicolas stood still with his gaze at his master, he was still surprised by how his master knew about herbal treatment. He felt like asking him how he got his skill but couldn't gather his words together, so he exhaled through his mouth. “Nicolas, can I have my bag?” Ryan said.Nicolas walked towards his master and handed him his bag. Ryan collected it slowly and placed it on the bed beside Abigail
Suddenly, she blinked her eyelid while slowly opening her eyes as consciousness began to return. Ryan smiles gently, a sense of relief washing over his face and Mrs. Abigail awakening.“Who are you?” she asked with a weak voice.Diane jumps in excitement when she hears her mother's voice. She moved towards the bed, she was so lost in excitement that she jumped and hugged Ryan. “Ohh!” Ryan screamed a little. She disentangled from him and apologised. “I am sorry, Mr. Ryan.” She said, “Thank you very much, I don't know how to express my gratitude for everything you have done for my mother. I don't know what we would have done without you.” Diane said with her voice filled with gratefulness.“You are welcome,” Ryan said, he smiled warmly. His heart swelled with pride at the impact of his actions. “She needs to rest and focus on recovering,” Ryan said when he saw how Diane tried to make her mother sit. “Who is he?” Mrs. Abigail Carter asked with a weak voice. Diane smiled at her mo
The guards came in with a laptop, and Diane instructed them to play the footage of the day when the incident occurred. The guards didn’t hesitate as their fingers were clicking against the keyboard.They finally found the video, a large projector was brought into the room, and they played the video and all eyes were fixated on the screen.Diane’s eyes widened in extreme shock when she noticed she had accused the wrong person. She was mute and couldn’t utter a word.“What!!” Mrs. Abigail Carter said with her weak voice.Veronica’s cry slowed, she crawled with her knees towards Ryan. “Thank you, sir, You saved my life. You are not only a healer but a saviour, “ she said with gratitude.Diane faces the first lady who claims to have seen Veronica giving drugs to Mrs. Abigail. Diane’s eyes were blazing in fire and her fist was clenched. She slapped her, and the maid staggered backwards. “ How dare you, Why are you this wicked? You were the one behind this and you accused Veronica.” She sa
It was a call from Elizabeth Brian, Ryan picked up the call. And he spoke out.“Hello, Ryan. I am sorry for bothering you but we need to see it’s important.” “What could that be, you can tell me on the phone,” Ryan said.“No, this is not something we can discuss on the phone. We need to meet, I will send you the location where we will meet,” she said. Before terminating the call in a hurry.Ryan was shocked, “what could be so important that she couldn’t discuss on the phone.” He said in a low tone.His phone screen lit up and a message notification popped on the top of his screen. He glanced at it and it was the location where they were supposed to meet.He took the car key and drove himself there without his driver or his butler, Ryan drove through the bustling city. It took him ten minutes to drive before he got to the location that was sent to him.Ryan walked into the restaurant, his eyes roaming around in search of Elizabeth, he remembered her sending him the seat number she ha
Without hesitation, Ryan grabbed Elizabeth by her arms and pulled her close to himself in just a nick of time. The car zoomed past them, missing both Ryan and Elizabeth by a mere inches. The tyres screeching against the pavements. The driver stopped looking through the rearview mirror, he hit the steering wheel in disappointment and zoomed off immediately, when he noticed the restaurant security was coming closer to him. He had failed to hit his target.“Stop him, Stop him,” Ryan screamed at the security to stop the driver but he was too fast. Ryan narrowed his eyes as he took note of the car’s license number. He crammed the number into his memory, as he was determined to report or find the reckless driver.The driver drove out of sight before the guards could spring into action.Elizabeth breathed heavily. “ Oh my goodness, Ryan. That was so close. I was almost hit by that car.” She said with a shaky voice “Are you okay?”. Ryan asked.“Yes, I am fine.” She responded, her hands plac
It was a new day and a busy one, as everyone was moving fast and going to their various destinations.Ryan Baker was in his room, he sat with his leg crossed on a meditation cushion with his eyes closed and his breath deeply and steady. With each inhale, he drew a positive energy and clarity of mind. As he meditates, his thoughts begin to drift and his mind becomes clearer. Ryan’s spirit was uplifted and he felt a deep connection to the universe.After several moments, he opened his eyes. He sighed in relief while exhaling through his mouth. Ryan got up from the cushion and he quickly moved into the bathroom to do the needful.He got dressed in a navy blue suit, had his breakfast and left his mansion to work. He arrived at the entrance of the building, Ryan alighted from the car after the guard parted the car door open for him.He was greeted by his staff and he didn’t fail to reciprocate their greetings with a warm smile. He could hear some of his workers murmur within themselves ab
