"Guards, bound him and don't let him go until I say so!" Declan yelled and Mandy’s bodyguards immediately blocked the room’s exit and when Dr. Jim got up on his feet, there was no way out.He glanced around with a deep scowl on his face. “What’s going on here?!” He demanded but no one answered him. They were all engrossed in what Declan was doing to pay any attention to him.“Stop wasting your time and that of everyone here. That man is dead! I have called an ambulance that will be here in a jiffy to take the corpse away!” Dr. Jim yelled, turning to Declan. When Declan did not respond to him, his anger intensified. How dare Declan snub and make a fool of him? He wished to slap Declan in the face but was too scared to make the move. Declan had knocked him down without even touching him and his body was aching really bad.Dr. Jim looked at what Declan was mixing and his heart skipped. “No way,” he said in his mind, his jaw dropping. Declan was mixing some herbs that would obviously
"Ahh!"Dr. Jim screamed and fell to the ground. He began to convulse on the floor, kicking everything and everyone around him."What's going on with him?" Lily asked in confusion but everyone seemed to be as clueless as she was. "Somebody help him up!" Lily yelled and the guards immediately gave Dr. Jim a helping hand, pulling him up. Dr. Jim sat in a place for a moment trying to recollect his strength. His body was very sore like someone who had been wiped many strokes of cane."Are you ready to tell everyone what you did now?" Declan asked, after he felt he had given Dr. Jim enough time."I don't know what you are talking about." Dr Jim said weakly, panting."Of course you do. Tell them who sent you!" Declan demanded."What do you mean? Mandy clearly stated she called me on referral. How could someone have possibly sent me? Mind you I left a patient to come attend to the man you abandoned urgently." Dr. Jim gritted, in anger.Declan was probing him so much and would soon reveal e
Declan reached Dr. Jim, snatched his bag and poured the entire contents of the floor."What!?""What is he doing!?"Everyone asked in unison, surprised at what Declan had just done.Declan ignored all of them and began to scatter everything on the floor until he found Dr. Jim's ID card."Give that back!" Dr Jim tried to snatch his ID from Declan's grip but Declan dodged him."Darius Cowper ?"Declan read the name on the ID and everyone's jaw dropped.Declan chucked inwardly. His instincts were never wrong and besides the brothers had a striking resemblance. Dr. Jim became more furious, curling his hands by his side in a tight fist."Give that back now!" He growled. "Cowper? You're related to Mr. bench? This is unbelievable." Mandy gasped, covering her mouth with both hands. She hadn't expected this to be the case. Everything explains it now. Dr. Jim probably came after her grandfather in retaliation."What is your mission in here pretending to be a doctor!" Declan barked but Dr
"Argh!" "Dr. Jim let out a loud yelp. Everyone in the room gasped at the same time, awed at Declan's brutality and strength. He had just snapped the bone of a grown as though it was just a stick. "Your legs will be next. That way, you won't be able to use them for the rest of your miserable life." Declan's thick voice spat. Everyone in the room went still, all looking at Dr. Jim to see what he would do. "Will he still disobey and become a crippled?" The servants whispered among themselves. "I— you! You will pay for what you've done. I promise you that!" Dr. Jim wailed trying to sit up. "You have five seconds. 5! 4!...." Declan's voice thundered, frightening everyone. Even Dr. Jim went stiff at the authority in Declan's aura. What was he going to do now? Will Declan really break his limbs? "Two.... And One!" Declan finished the countdown and without wasting a second, he grabbed Dr. Jim's left leg and was about to break it. "Wait!" Trina yelled, stepping forward. "I won't
"May, I said you should wait!"Clara yelled, going after her daughter She caught up with her and pulled her hand to stop her. "Let me go!" May yelled, snatching her hand away from her mom's grip.Clara frowned deeply, anger rising up from her belly, she immediately struck her hand across May's face in a slap."Ahh!" May sighed, holding her face with both hands."You slapped me?!" Her eyes flashed in shock at her mom."And I will slap you again and again! How dare you? You just ruined everything for me!" Clara yelled, her eyes flashing in anger.May shook her head to the sides in disbelief. How could her mom do this to her? Because of a man they barely knew."I hate you mom. So much!" May seethed and ran to their car.Clara gasped at May's words. She hadn't seen that coming. " uhm— sweetie, wait!"Clara went back to the table shortly after. Robinson had paused eating, waiting for them to return."Is she alright?" He asked with concern when Clara came back alone."Uhm— yeah but—
May got home that night and her eyes were swollen from crying so much. She was yet to accept what she just witnessed. She always had her suspicions anyway but seeing them intimate with her own eyes was the most heart wrenching thing ever.It made her question Declan's motive towards her. Why was he still kind to her when he had already moved on? It annoyed May that she thought Declan was still around all along because he wanted her back. What a delusion. "Where have you been?"Clara asked as soon as May entered the living room. She had sat to wait for her daughter when she returned home and she was not back yet."I went to get fresh air," May said, walking past her mom to the stairs. The last thing she wanted was for Clara to see her in that state. "I was worried about you, but that's not important. The most important thing now is that you're home." Clara said. Her eyes followed May up the stairs and she contemplated if she should follow her up."Uhmm.. Robinson wants a redate. But
"Of course they know him and how rich he is. I'm sure they are intimidated already."Clara said in her head. She immediately stood up, her shoulder pads high as mountains as she hung her bag on her arm."He will be present in your next meeting with my daughter to present his proposal. Of course, if you don't mind."Clara said, flashing a fake smile. Mandy didn't say another word but simply nodded in reply. She watched Clara shut the door behind before she turned to Declan, her eye bulging from their sockets."Isn't he the same guy from the B11 and B12 project? What on earth is May Williams thinking about getting involved with him."Mandy spoke with great discomfort."Two things are certain here" Declan's deep voice spoke, his face void of any expression. "one is that May is not involved with that guy. Clara is simply doing what she knows how to do best; playing matchmaking.""And the second one?"Mandy chipped in impatiently."May has no idea what that guy is."Mandy scoffed. "So you
“What did you just say?” Mandy blurted her hands covering her gaped mouth.Declan gave a side grin and strode out of the room and Mandy gathered her things, running after him.In a five star restaurant at the heart of the city, May Williams sat on a table close to the glass window that faced the road, and patiently waited for her date.“I’m late again”Robinson sighed from behind and May turned to watch him walk up to him.“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting, traffic is terrible in this part of the city”Robinson apologized taking the seat across May.“It’s fine. I was already around here for an errand before the town’s busy day kick started.” May smiled waving off Robbinson’s apology. “You look stunning by the way”Robinson remarked, taking May’s hand and placing a soft kiss on it.“Oh Thank you. What would you like to order?”May smiled, taking her hands from Robinson and grabbing her menu. A rush of warmth had washed over her body at Robinson’s touch and it made her feel weird an
