............Suddenly getting an idea, Aarav cast a provocative gaze at them."How about we make it interesting? If I manage to completely cure Mr. Allen here, you all must bow in worship whenever our paths cross in the future!" Aarav suggested, a mocking grin playing on his lips.Aryan, visibly angered, retorted, "And what if you fail, huh?""If I fail," Aarav responded with a sly smile, "I'll bow to you three and call you grandpa. So, are you up for the challenge, or are you chickening out?""Hehe... who's chickening out now? Alright, the bet is on. Just remember, you started this bet, so no one can accuse us of bullying you later!" Arjun exchanged glances with Dr. Hughes, both nodding as he turned to Aarav, giving him the same provoking smile, accepting the bet."Great... Mr. Allen and Maya will witness this bet so no one can go back on their words!" Aarav grinned widely, seeing them fall into his trap.Both Allen and Maya nodded in agreement."Alright, please enter the room and l
............Arjun shook his head in denial, muttering, "This has to be some trick. It can't be true!"Dr. Hughes, skeptical, crossed his arms, saying, "Miracles don't just happen. There has to be a scientific explanation for this."Aryan, frustrated, argued, "There's no way mere herbs and words can cure someone completely. It's absurd!"Arjun's cold and angry voice cut through the room, "Hey, Trash, what game are you playing? Explain, or you'll know what happens when you offend the Vasu family."Dr. Hughes, still skeptical, insisted, "We need evidence and proper medical examinations. This is too unbelievable."Aarav, calm in the face of doubt, said, "Sometimes, things happen beyond our understanding. Miracles exist in simplicity."Maya, overcome with emotions, blurted out, "But Grandpa is healed! I can't believe it, but it's true!"Aryan, Arjun, and Dr. Hughes exchanged doubtful looks, unwilling to accept the seemingly miraculous cure."Master Vasudeva, let me do a checkup on you. I
............(Aria Veridian POV)"Ahhh... so boring. Seriously, when is my brother coming back?" I sighed, throwing my hands in the air as I lounged on the worn-out couch after savoring the warmth of the breakfast he specially made for me."Oh, what's this card?" I recalled seeing it on the slightly cluttered table. Grabbing it, I discovered it was his credit card, and strangely, he left the PIN code too."Why would he leave this behind?" I wondered, thinking he might have forgotten it amidst the morning rush."Ahhh, maybe he left it for me!" I mumbled, realizing he intentionally left the card for me.Looking at the small piece of paper with the pin code, I almost missed, and understanding that my brother left it for me, a mix of emotions overcame me – a blend of gratitude, confusion, and a touch of melancholy."Ahhh, Big brother. I really...really love you. I hope I can repay you for everything you did for me!" I muttered, hugging the soft pillow tightly, my fingers tracing the edge
............'Ohhh...no...this is bad, what should I do!' My legs almost gave up on me, and my body shivered unconsciously as I started to panic, unable to think of any bright ideas in this terrifying situation.Feeling extremely terrified, I hesitated for a moment, my eyes widening as I took a step back in fear."Clannnk...!"Unintentionally, my foot stepped on something hard, creating a sudden loud clank noise that echoed through the dimly lit alley.The three scary men turned abruptly towards me, their eyes narrowing with curiosity and suspicion sparked by the unexpected sound."Oh, what's this?" one of them grumbled, eyeing me suspiciously. His gaze felt like icy fingers crawling down my spine.Panicking, my breath became rapid, and my heart pounded in my chest like a drum."Whoosh...!"I managed to take three hurried steps, but before I could get any further, a strong grip seized me from behind, halting my escape."Trying to run, eh?" sneered one of the men, his voice dripping w
............"What...how did...!""No...never mind...can you give me a ride? Also, can you find the location where she was seen last time?" Aarav hesitated to question how Maya knew about his sister's predicament, but his immediate concern was his sister's safety."Yes, please. Follow me!" Maya nodded eagerly, a sense of urgency in her eyes.She got up, leading him out towards her sleek car parked nearby."Vrooomnm...!"The engine roared to life before driving him away from the troubled scene. With fast speed, they zoomed through the streets, headed towards the location, Maya received in her phone."Screech...!""Is this the place?" Aarav inquired, already out of the car."Yes, this is the place, I am sure," Maya nodded, surprised by Aarav's swift exit."Alright, you should wait here while I check the place!" Aarav directed her, disappearing into the dimly lit area before Maya could express her opinion."Ahhh...wait! Shit...I need to call Grandpa, who knows what kind of danger is th
............However, when she attempted to stand, her body shivered so much that she couldn't manage. Aarav, sensing her distress, offered, "Get on my back and hold my neck tightly."The teenage girl, looking at him with sorrowful eyes, nodded again.As Aarav emerged from the half-destroyed office, he carried his unconscious sister in a princess carry and the shivering teenage girl on his back. Maya, accompanied by four black-suited bodyguards, anxiously approached them. Her eyes widened as she saw Aarav with the distressed figures."Mr. Veridian! What happened? Are they okay?" Maya questioned, her voice filled with concern. Aarav, with a serious expression, gently laid his sister on the floor before addressing Maya."They are safe now. We need to get this girl to a hospital," Aarav replied, his face displaying concern as he looked at teenage girl on his back. Maya signaled her bodyguards to arrange for transportation, and she looked at Aarav, saying, "I called an ambulance. They
............"Yes, she mentioned she'd be back today, but her flight got delayed," Antonio Rossi replied, wiping his mouth. Sophia's expression eased up at the mention of her eldest daughter's name."Did she talk about her business? How did it go?" Sophia asked with curiosity."Yes, she mentioned it was successful, but it's a little complicated. She said she'd explain everything when she gets back," Antonio shared, feeling a bit pleased with his eldest daughter's growth and achievements.Once everyone finished eating, Bella Rossi left for her bedroom in a bad mood. Meanwhile, Antonio Rossi and Sophia Rossi entered the living hall, settling down on the comfy couch."Ahhh!" Antonio let out a comfortable sigh as he rested on the couch, feeling the exhaustion catching up."By the way, dear, how is the new project coming along, as you mentioned before?" Sophia initiated the conversation, taking a seat across from her husband."Hmmm, it's not good. The government is not approving the proje
............Sophia's concern lingered as she voiced another worry, "But what if Elara doesn't listen to our plan or disagrees with it?"Antonio's expression turned stern as he responded, "She will have to listen. This is crucial for our family's future. If she shows any stubbornness or reluctance, I won't hesitate to force her to divorce that trash. Our family's success comes first.""Humph... I have been telling you for a long time that you should throw that trash away from our family. That trash brings nothing but shame to the Rossi family name," Sophia's expression turned disgusted as she spoke with disdain."I would have done that, but Elara was being stubborn about it," Antonio replied with a frowning face."Why did you have to put that condition to begin with? If not for that, she wouldn't have married that trash and brought shame to our family!" Sophia's sharp words reminded Antonio of the mistake he made previously."How should I have known that our good daughter would make
