Logan bid him good-bye and drove away. Oliver entered the hospital after that. It didn't take long for him to see his mother-in-law."My mother-in-law is here, which means my guess was right; has something happened to Zelda?" Thinking of this, he walked in Abigail's direction.When Abigail saw Oliver, she became furious at that moment."You useless brat, what do you want here?" She asked the question coldly.For someone like Oliver, it wasn't the first time hearing Abigail's harsh words. For the past two years living in the Ellison's manor, he had gone through hell at her hands."Mom, what happened to my wife?" He asked.Hearing Oliver address Zelda as his wife, she stomped on her foot."How dare you call her your wife? Didn't Zelda tell you she didn't want to see you anymore?"Just then, Alex walked in. After arranging the money, he went to pay the bills. Alex was the same person who asked Abigail to call Oliver and blame him for everything because he was bad luck."What do you wan
The person who opened the door was none other than Oliver.Seeing someone enter without knocking, Megan frowned."How dare you enter without permission?" She coldly asked."Wow"Oliver was stunned upon seeing Megan. That was his first time seeing her. She looked very beautiful. Even though she was in a uniform, it still couldn't hide her alluring curves. And this being her personal office, the room was filled with a nice scent."I'm really sorry for barging in here, but please, I do need permission to go to the emergency unit." Oliver requested."How rude; you barged into my office without my permission, and you wanted me to grant you permission to visit the emergency room?""Doctor.."Oliver didn't finish his words when Megan yelled at him."Leave my office now or I will call the security guards."Seeing that she wasn't ready to grant him permission, Oliver took a step forward and held her hands."Doctor, my wife is in the emergency unit, and I need to see her." After saying this, he
Chapter 22Oliver was stunned to see Doctor Megan at the entrance. His focus was on Zelda, and he failed to notice that someone had entered the room.Seeing Megan, Oliver quickly asked."Doctor, what happened to my wife?" As of now, Oliver was still not sure what had happened to Zelda to land her in the emergency room."This lady is your wife?" Megan asked with a stern face.When Oliver came to her office earlier on to ask for a permit to see his wife, she didn't know that the lady who was rushed into the emergency room was the one he was referring to.Hearing her question, he nodded."If he's your wife, why did the other gentleman who came to foot the bill also claim to be her husband?" Hearing this, Oliver was confused."Another person claiming to be Zelda's husband?" Who could it be? Oliver thought.After some time, a name popped into his head. "Alex? I remember him telling my mother-in-law that he had footed the bill and that he was the only person who would claim to be Zelda's
Meanwhile, somewhere around Boston Hill, a beautiful lady dressed in a nightgown was seated on a sofa, pressing her phone. Despite the fact that she was wearing a normal nightgown, her curves still looked alluring.She was Ynes Larkin, the young mistress of Boston Hills' Larkin family.Just then there was a knock on the door."Young mistress, may I come in?""Come in." Ynes answered.The door was pushed open, and a man dressed in a black suit walked in. He was Ynes's personal bodyguard, Ryker.Seeing Ryker walk in, she placed her phone aside."Ryker, is there any problem?""Young miss, I've been able to gather some information about the young man.Hearing Ryker, Ynes jumped up in excitement and asked."What information were you able to gather about Oliver?"Ynes had earlier asked Ryker to find some information about Oliver. With the power of the Larkin family, it wasn't difficult for him to be able to gather information about anyone in Boston Hills."Miss, as he said, his real name is
Oliver stood up and asked, "Doctor, how is Zelda doing?"Hearing Oliver mention Zelda again Megan sighed."Is she really your wife?" "You weren't lying?" She asked.Oliver chuckled lightly and said, "Why would I be waiting here for about two hours if I were lying?"Hearing his reply, she was somehow convinced."It couldn't be that he's lying, right?" "He wouldn't have waited here for long." She thought about this and replied."The poison she consumed was very effective, and even though we tried our best and washed the poison away from her body, there's no response yet, but she's being taken care of well.""Depending on the situation tomorrow, we will determine if an operation will be done or not."What!Hearing that Zelda consumed poison, Oliver slumped back to the chair, feeling his legs go weak instantly as his body couldn't stop shaking.Seeing this, Megan hurried to support him."What happened?""Are you not feeling well?" She anxiously asked."Doctor, you mean my Zelda is in th
The next day, Logan woke up from bed only to find her undies wet."I..I did have a wet dream today." She muttered as she tried recalling her dream."No, not him, Logan. What's happening to me?" "He's married, and I've known him for only a day.How can I have wet dreams because of him? It can't be that I've fallen in love with him." Logan questioned herself, looking embarrassed.Just then there was a knock on the door."Logan, aren't you awake yet?" Nora's voice could be heard at the back of the door.Logan snapped back to herself as she quickly changed her clothes so as not to let Nora notice what had happened.Meanwhile, Oliver finished dressing. Even though he was now living in a luxurious villa, he couldn't enjoy it as the thought of Zelda's condition flashed through his mind the whole night.Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang. He happily pressed the answer button, seeing that it was a call from Alice.A few days ago, Alice called and told him he was the master of a weal
After the call ended, Oliver sat in his newly bought car and drove to City Hospital.After getting to the hospital, he parked his car somewhere so as not to draw too much attention. After getting a permit, Oliver went into the emergency room, where Zelda was.Getting into the room, he realized that his mother-in-law was already there, sitting near Zelda as tears streamed down her face while she caressed her hair."Zelda, my daughter, you would be fine; if you leave, then mom won't be able to live.""Didn't you promise me to always take care of me?" "You're the only one left in my life after your dad died, so please do well to hold on."Her emotional words hit Oliver; he was even hurt seeing Zelda in such a state, so he understood the pain his mother-in-law was going through. He forced himself to hold back his tears.Seeing Oliver walk in, Abigail wiped her tears."What do you want here? My daughter doesn't want to see your face," she angrily yelled at Oliver.Hearing her cold words,
Hearing that Zelda's vital signs were below healthy levels, fear gripped Oliver."Doctor what's…."He only said a few words before he was cut off by a nurse."Sir, can you please wait outside so we can attend to the patient?" The nurse saidHearing this, Oliver nodded as he exited the room, praying for the best.A defibrillator was handed to Megan.Defibrillators are devices that send an electric pulse or shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat. They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, an uneven heartbeat that is too slow or too fast. If the heart suddenly stops beating, defibrillators can also help it beat again.Without wasting time, Megan uncovered some area of Zelda's chest and pressed the defibrillator firmly against her.Even though she used the defibrillator several times, there was still no sign of a heartbeat."Hurry up, rush the patient to the ICU immediately." Megan ordered.The doctors and nurses obeyed as they placed Zelda on the wheeled stretcher and r
As Vespera moved towards the car, she turned back to address her team, her expression steely."Before we head out, clean up these bodies," she instructed, her voice firm. "Make sure there’s no trace left behind. I don’t want any sign of this incident here."One of the guards stepped forward, nodding but looking at the black van parked nearby. "And the vehicle, ma’am? What do we do with it?”Vespera smirked, a hint of dark amusement in her eyes. "We’ll handle that too. Have it rebranded, stripped of any identifiers. Once it’s ready, it’ll be delivered to the local orphanage as a donation. They could use a decent vehicle more than these fools ever could."The guard’s mouth curled into a knowing smile as he nodded. "Understood, ma’am. We’ll get it done."The team moved quickly, setting about their tasks with military precision. Two guards began gathering the bodies, making sure every detail was accounted for, while others turned their attention to wiping down the van and removing any wea
Grimacing with agony, the man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, struggling to endure the searing pain that radiated from his wounded thigh. Each breath was a struggle. With a steely glint in her eyes, Vespera withdrew the gun from the man's lips and aimed it at his knee with chilling precision. Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled the trigger, the deafening boom of the gunshot reverberating through the air as a bullet tore through the man's knee, shattering bone and tissue with brutal force. The man's scream echoed through the night, his body wracked with agony as he collapsed to the ground, his shattered knee rendering him utterly helpless before Vespera's merciless interrogation. "Where's the address?" Vespera demanded once more, her voice cold. Gulping hard, the man's eyes darted nervously as he struggled to compose himself through the haze of pain and fear. Finally, with a shaky breath, he spoke in a voice barely above a whisper. "The address... it's..." he
Dear readers I haven't ended it, there'll be chapters soon, due to certain issues haven't been able to continue, would do.
As they continued to discuss their strategy, a sudden sense of unease washed over one of the men. He stiffened, his eyes darting around the van as if searching for an unseen threat."Hey, did you guys see that?" he whispered urgently, his voice laced with alarm.The other men glanced at him, their expressions puzzled. "See what?" one of them asked, his brow furrowing in confusion."I saw something move," the man insisted, his voice rising with panic. "It was like lightning, but I couldn't see anyone.”His words hung in the air, the silence that followed thick with tension. The other men exchanged wary glances, their nerves on edge as they scanned their surroundings for any sign of danger."Maybe you're just imagining things," one of them suggested, trying to quell the rising sense of fear.But the man shook his head adamantly. "No, I'm telling you, something's not right. We need to be on high alert.”"Come on, nothing will happen," one of the men scoffed, trying to quell the rising te
They waited for many hours, the anticipation building as the darkness of evening enveloped the surroundings. Some of the men had even drifted off to sleep inside the van when suddenly, one of them spotted Garcia's car approaching."Hey, Garcia is already coming in, let's get ready," he exclaimed, shaking his comrades awake.With renewed alertness, the men peered out of the van, their eyes fixated on Garcia's car as it pulled up to the entrance. Inside the car, Vespera remained composed, her keen assassin instincts guiding her observations.Seeing a parked car nearby, Vespera assessed the situation with a practiced eye. There were no signs of prolonged parking, indicating that the vehicle was likely there for a specific purpose. With a subtle smile, she continued driving into the estate.As Garcia and Logan disembarked from the car, Vespera stayed behind, maintaining her vigilance. Garcia glanced back at her with a frown, questioning her hesitation."Why are you standing there, Vespera
Oliver's expression was stern as he listened to Arshad's fear-filled plea. He knew that Arshad had brought this predicament upon himself by attempting to carry out the contract on his life. When Arshad spoke of his fear for his life, Oliver's response was cold and pragmatic."Protecting yourself is up to you and not me," he said, his tone firm and unyielding. "You got yourself into useless problems, and now you must find a way out. Don't expect me to protect you. You have your own men; use them to find a solution.”With those words, Oliver ended the call abruptly, hanging up the phone. As Oliver hung up the phone, Zelda looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Hubby, is everything alright? Anything wrong?" she asked, sensing that the call might have been troubling.Oliver smiled warmly at her, his features softening. He leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, a gesture meant to reassure her. "Don't worry, everything is fine," he said, his tone calm and soothing. "Just a mi
Mentioning Oliver brought a flood of memories rushing back to Logan's mind—nights spent together, whispered conversations, and shared moments of intimacy. A bittersweet smile tugged at her lips as she pondered the complexities of their relationship."How I wished I could have carried the children of such a great man," Logan sighed softly, her thoughts drifting to what could have been. "But it didn't work out that way.”After she was done dressing, Logan descended the stairs and entered the living room, where Garcia Storm awaited her, seated elegantly on the sofa.Upon seeing Logan, Garcia rose with a warm smile, her eyes brightening at the sight of her companion. "How are you, my dear?" she inquired, her concern evident in her gentle tone.Logan nodded respectfully. "I'm fine, ma'am," she replied. "Have you taken your medications?”Garcia nodded affirmatively. "Of course, I have," she chuckled softly. "You would not let me rest if I didn't, so I always do."Taking Garcia's hands in he
He paused, locking eyes with Lauren as he continued, his words cutting through the tension like a knife. "Listen, Detective. No man born of a woman, no minor deity existing on this earth, has the power to stand in front of Oliver Storm for even a minute. The bullet that can kill me hasn't been manufactured, and the weapon that can harm me hasn't been forged.”Oliver's gaze pierced through Lauren, his voice resonating with a chilling authority as he continued his proclamation of dominance."I am the harbinger of destruction, the architect of fate," he declared, his words carrying the weight of absolute certainty. "I am the tempest unleashed, the unyielding force that bends the very fabric of reality to my will.”A sense of awe washed over those present, their breath caught in their throats as they bore witness to Oliver's unbridled power. In his presence, they felt small and insignificant, mere mortals standing before a titan among men.Oliver's eyes bore into Lauren's, a glint of unde
As Lauren reached out to touch Oliver, her hand trembling slightly with anticipation, she could feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The tension in the air was palpable as she made contact with him.Suddenly, a jolt shot through her body like an electric shock, causing her to gasp in pain. Ahhh!” Her muscles tensed, and she let out a loud scream as the force threw her backward with incredible strength.The sensation was overwhelming, as if a powerful energy had enveloped her, lifting her off her feet throwing her through the air. The impact was brutal as she collided with one of the tables at the back, shattering it into pieces upon impact.Pain radiated through her body as she lay amidst the wreckage, dazed and disoriented."Wow!" Sophia clapped, breaking the stunned silence that had settled over the place. Lauren was the one who touched Oliver, yet she was the affected one. Everyone, including Geronimo, was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief. Oliver, however,
