2024-11-06 20:12:59“I have dropped out of the marriage contract, so it is no longer valid so if you have come to beg me to take you as my husband just forget about it and leave. If you have some shame, you will find someone else to marry since you are so desperate to get married.”
“Thea, you must be mistaken,” He said subtly, “I did not come here for you. I have come to see Lord Walton.”
“If you have come to persuade my grandfather I am afraid that is another impossible task for you because this engagement will not go on.” the rigid expression she was wearing when he came back, only that she was looking at him with disdain now.
“The marriage contract had specified that neither of us had the right to call off this marriage, only Lord Walton has the power to do that and that's why I have come to see him. You don’t not have a say in this!”
She scoffed in disbelief, “What? I am the current War god in Mericania and you say I have no say about my own marriage? How dare a mere doctor say this to me? Did the isolation that you went through in the medicine village affect your head?”
“Ah, it must be the marriage contract, the silly agreement that our parents have made, that must have given you the illusion that we are on the same social level when you hold no candle to me. Now let me tell you clearly, we do not match each other. Look at me, the position I hold in the society, how could I marry a mere doctor?”
She spoke so highly to him but he wasn’t shaken. “I am only here to meet Lord Walton,” he insisted.
“I let you in after you told me who you were because of my grandpa and the respect I have for him but you should learn to know your place.” She said in a much calmer voice.
“Our social stance is miles apart, even your generations to come will struggle to catch up with mine. This marriage should not go through because you can't handle a woman like me.”
Thea saw that he was unfazed with what she said, her icy glare returned to her face again, “Don’t tell me you haven’t burned the marriage contract, have you?”
Alex shook his head, “I told you earlier, only Lord Walton can say that we are not going to go through with this marriage again.” He remained calm as usual, he knew that he could not use fire to fire with such a strong headed woman.
She brought out a pistol from her pocket and aimed it at his chest.“I was being lenient with you earlier because I thought you were sensible and civilized enough to understand the situation of things but you are making me use the hard route on you. You better throw your copy of the marriage contract in the fireplace or I will kill you for disobeying a War god. Trust me, one click and a bullet will pierce your heart.”
“It’s been a while since I used my gun last and my hands have been itching to use it again. Many people have fallen by my gun and I don't care if I had to add more people to it. It will be quicker to kill you than to let you burn that paper but I am giving you the opportunity to do the latter. So choose wisely.” She offered.
Alex showed no fear even though this was the first time someone was pointing a gun at him. It would only take him a few seconds to take the gun from her because of his swift reflexes. Besides, he could see that she was not holding the gun like she was going to pull the trigger, only a fool would not sense that.
“I don’t care if you decide to shoot me here, I have only made one request since I got here. Take me to Lord Walteon . He is the one that has the final say over this marriage.”
“Arrrgh!” She growled out in anger. She sent daggers at him with her eyes filled with rage and fury. She had no plans to shoot him, she just wanted to shake him up a bit but he was even unshaken, which made her more angry.
Her parents had informed about the marriage contract after she had won the war and was eligible to qualify for the potion of the War god.
She could not believe that her parents had picked her future husband for her when she had lived her whole life keeping her head up and living independently. They didn;t not even pick someone of a high status but they went to pick someone like Alex, an ordinary doctor that had no social importance.
Many suitors, wealthy men, dukes and even the crown prince had asked for hand in marriage but her parents had hooked her up with a doctor that didn’t even have his training under the most famous doctor in Mericania.
“Since you are here to see grandpa, I should take you to him. Come with me!” She turned on her heel and walked to the elevator which took them straight to the sixth floor.
Thea led him into a huge master bedroom where Alex saw Lord Thor Walton lying lifelessly on the bed, he had an oxygen mask attached to his nose.
“That is my granada who you seek , he fell into a coma six months ago and he hasn’t woken up since then. I have even reached out to the best doctor here in Mericania, Doctor Norton, he is yet to find the cause of his ailment nor the treatment.”
“I am the one that has his authority now with me, you can’t get anything from him now as you can see. This is the last chance I will give to settle this amicably, Burn up the contract and I will do any favor that you ask for.”

He wasn’t aware that he was dealing with a tough person.Instead of giving her a response, Alex rushed over to check the old man that was lying on the bed after he had noticed that his fingertips were white.

Alex has traced a place he knew by memory in an area not so far from the Waltons Estate. Though the Waltons estate has changed because of the development, the areas around it still retained its old features so I could tell that I wasn’t in the wrong place.He was standing in front of his Uncle, Victor Miller's house. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, his phone rang, and he picked up,“Hello?”“Hello, Divine doctor, I am David bourne. the one that received your number after showing you the healer’s card that your sister had given me. I am calling to ask if you can come and check up on my daughter right now. She is in a critical condition, she is unable to breathe properly.”"It is late now and it will be hard to find a taxi, send a car to the location I will send to you over a text.” he replied to him.“Okay sir. But my wife happened to bring an orthodox doctor here and he claimed that he can stabilize my daughter’s breathing only that she will not be able to walk again.”“I a

You look like you are my Older brother now.”Victor Miller got emotional and his eyes were filled with tears. He could not believe that Alex Cole, his friend's son, was standing in front of him. “I have been looking for you. I am glad God listened to my prayers and sent you my way.” he rubbed Alex’s shoulders before pulling him for a hug. He pulled him into the main lounge in his mansion. Victor Miller had spent a lot of money modernizing his home.“Molly, Rena!” He called his wife and his daughter, “We have an important guest.”As they got to the main lounge, Molly was standing there, watching the TV, just in her bathrobe. It was evident that she had just taken a shower. She looked in her father’s direction and saw the stranger standing near him.“Who is this fucking Creep?” She screamed before racing to her room.“Miller, re

Alex understood why Donald was the richest man in the city. His house was fully decorated with gold, the exteriors obviously cost millions of dollars but the inheritors cost two times more.“Doctor, you are here!” Donald’s face lit up as soon as he saw Alex. He had been waiting by the door for him to show up. He had told his wife to let the doctor she had brought go so that he would make their daughter cripple but she was crying begging that he stay till the divine doctor that he called arrived.Mr Bourne was also standing by the door.

“Will my daughter still survive this after getting the treatment from this?” Donald Bourne was not sure of agreeing to his wife's choice so he wanted to confirm.He was only going to let him touch his daughter because his wife had told him that he was the best doctor in their city. The person he wanted it to be was Alex.“I cannot say till we all see it but be rest assured that since I am here, your daughter cannot pass away,” Alex assured him, “But there is a condition, you will have to get me the White Snake Flower.”“I will get you anything you want as long as you save my daughter’s life. If you want hundreds of them, I’m willing to give you.”Alex laughed knowing that Donald doesn’t know how rare the White snake flower is. It’s impossible to find one, not to speak of ten.Dr Norton scoffed in his mind, “He dare ask for that rare herb? Such a thief. I will make sure he doesn’t get it.”He brought out the cure he had prepared for Bella. He filled the syringe with some liquid. He wa

Many students found it difficult to handle needles and master the supreme techniques. His master had told him that the reason why he had been able to grasp the skill at once was because he was talented.Dr Noton was rooting for a positive response from Alex in the future.

“A stalker?” Rebecca asked, confusedly wondering where and when her friend had met such a man because she had not mentioned him to her in the past.“I thought you had seen a very handsome man, I was glad that we got to meet some new rich guy but it ended up being this stupid leech.”“That bastard wants to marry me and I declined, now he is even shameless enough to be stalking me now.” Molly scoffed.“But he is rich and handsome, he came here in a Rolls Royce, do you know how much that cost?”“As if! Take a look at his clothes and the car? Their qualities do not match each other. He only rented the car to show off and pretend like he is rich so he can deceive people.”“He is not the owner of the car. I know him so well. His family business had been stolen by his relative status a long time ago so he has no money to his name.” “Shhh, Molly.

Alex woke up to several voices right in front of his door, at this point, he was already regretting that he had filled his actual address in the car dealer’s place. It was like that made everyone have access to his house.He turned his side on his bed, till the yelling got worse. “Come out here. You son of a Debtor.”“How can you be living in such a grand place when your family still has a lot to settle us with? Do you think you deserve that silly sleep of yours?”“We know you can hear us, you better come out at once before we vandalize your house.”Several of them hurled insults and threats at him. That caused him to get up from his bed.He peeped down to see what was going down, then he saw some people in the little crowd by his downstairs holding placards with his photos and his late parents photo on it with the caption, “Pay us our money and end capitalism,"Alex scoffed, knowing that his aunty had put them up to his trick but of course he needed to collect proof, so he put on pro
Chapter 136 - Chastity
“The War God got some balls to actually walk in here and ask us to come compete against each other in order to win her hand in marriage. I have always known that she was a bold and prideful woman but I never knew it was to this extent.” Vonn complained bitterly to his brothers after they got inside.“I just think you didn't expect to meet a woman that would match upon your pride.” King said with a smirk on his face. “Did you see your face when Riss told us, she walked into the room. You looked like they told you Mom rose up from the dead.”“That is not supposed to be a joke,” Riss said in a stern voice as he didn’t buy the silly joke King made about their late mother. “ Vonn is not entirely wrong, that woman is prideful and I must teach her to know her place right after I make her my wife. Who does she think she is to be speaking to us like she is the prize?”“But she is indeed the prize. Father intends to give his fortune to her if she marries any of us, so what is your point?” King
Chapter 135 - Lawfully.
A slow silence settled over the ornate hallway, as Thea Walton’s words reverberated off the walls. Her piercing gaze moved from one brother to the next, waiting—expecting—a scramble. Maybe even a power grab.But what she got was something entirely different.Riss Smith, the eldest and the quietest of the trio, took a step forward. His face was unreadable, cold and unmoving, as though he were carved from marble. He looked Thea straight in the eye, not with awe or admiration, but something cooler… more calculating.“No,” he said flatly.Thea blinked. “Excuse me?”“I said no,” Riss repeated, his voice calm but final. “We won’t be competing for your affection or favor under your terms. We’ll do this among ourselves, the way brothers should.”King’s jaw tightened. Vonn shifted where he stood.Thea’s brows furrowed slightly. She hadn’t expected this especially not from the most stoic of the three.King stepped forward next, standing shoulder to shoulder with Riss. “I may be cocky, but I’m n
Chapter 134 - She is here
The atmosphere inside the Smith Mansion was tense with unsaid words and rising testosterone. The grandiose living room, adorned with gold accents and oil paintings of past generations, echoed with the subtle sound of polished shoes pacing on marble. King Smith strolled in with a noticeable swagger, the corner of his lips curled with a self-satisfied smirk.He threw his jacket carelessly onto the velvet couch and plopped down like he owned the entire world.“Where have you been?” Vonn asked, arms crossed, standing in front of the fireplace. His deep voice vibrated with restrained irritation.King didn’t answer right away. Instead, he reached for the crystal decanter on the glass table, poured himself a drink, and sipped it slowly. Theatrics. He wanted to be seen. He wanted them to notice.“I just came back from seeing her,” King finally said, deliberately emphasizing the pronoun as if Thea Walton had become some sort of divine entity to be worshipped.Vonn’s nostrils flared. “You went
Chapter 133 - A Smith
Thea Walton was not one to entertain second chances.But King Smith was not like other men. he was a smith, a man that was from a fmaily that beffitted her title compared to that of alex.When he showed up at Walton Medical Headquarters uninvited, bearing a silver case of rare healing herbs from the Eastern Isles, the guards paused, but Thea didn’t send him away. Not immediately.He had come dressed in charcoal gray, no flamboyant cologne, no flashy rings, no entourage. For once, his hair was combed back neatly, and he carried himself with a seriousness that almost didn’t fit.Almost.Standing before her office doors with a slight tilt of his head, he waited for acknowledgment. When it came, he stepped forward and spoke, not with arrogance, but something close to humility.“I behaved poorly last time,” he said, voice low. “I came to you as a man chasing a trophy, not a partner. For that, I apologize.”Thea stared at him without emotion, hands folded behind her back.“And what do you w
Chapter 132 - How to get Thea
The golden lamps in Riss Smith’s private study glowed with a quiet menace, casting stretched shadows across the leather-bound books and antique chess board that adorned the far wall. He sat behind a carved blackwood desk, a glass of golden whiskey in one hand, and a sealed envelope in the other.His father’s words still echoed in his mind like a mantra.“The one who marries Thea Walton… inherits it all.”Forty-seven hospitals. Pharmaceutical dynasties. Medical research empires. Titles. Legacy. Power.And all that stood between him and the throne was a woman who refused to kneel.Thea Walton.She wasn’t just beautiful. She was dangerous. She had honor braided into her spine and stubbornness carved into her bones. She was not the type to be wooed with roses and poetry. Her heart was forged in battlefields, not ballrooms.And Riss Smith… he was a tactician, not a poet.But this time, he couldn’t rely on brute wealth or cold strategy. No. Thea Walton would not fall like other women had.T
Chapter 131 - Tina's ex returns
Tina stood by the window, her delicate fingers wrapped around a porcelain teacup that had long gone cold. The early morning sun streamed through the sheer curtains, turning her soft beige robe into a glowing silhouette. Her thoughts were distant, but her lips wore a smile, the kind that still lingered from the night before.The memory of the orphanage was still fresh.Alex Cole’s voice, his steady hands when he helped carry the supply crates, the way the children laughed and clung to his sleeves. Most of all, his words.You did well.It wasn’t flattery.It wasn’t indulgence.It was honest. Direct. Alex Cole had looked her in the eyes, not as prey, not as a woman he had to avoid, but as someone worth recognizing.And then there were his last words before she dropped him off at the intersection.I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. The place. The kids. You.She had replayed that line so many times it echoed now more than her own heartbeat.She had won a small piece of ground in his heart. I
Chapter 130 - And all three of you want her
The dining hall of the Smith estate was a temple of wealth and power. Golden chandeliers dripped light from above like molten stars. The table beneath them was a stretch of mahogany longer than most banquet halls in the city, polished to the point where one's reflection could be seen in its surface. At the head of it all, Wade Smith sat like an emperor enthroned.Trim City's wealthiest medical tycoon. A man with power not only in hospitals and pharmaceuticals but also across underground networks and private research organizations that stretched beyond Mericania’s borders.His three sons sat along the table, each one radiating a different flavor of ambition.Riss Smith, the eldest, with his golden cufflinks and prideful eyes. He wore his tailored suit like it was armor. Vonn Smith, the second, was more refined, quieter, but with a sharpness in his gaze that betrayed a calculating nature. And then, there was King, the youngest, but the most brash. His smile could disarm any woman, but h
Chapter 129 - Duke Lin
The wind that blew through the Walton Estate carried the scent of trimmed rose bushes and the faint sting of polished steel. The sky had long faded from blue to amber, and the estate grounds were already bathed in a warm, orange glow as dusk crept in from the hills.Inside the sitting room of the Walton main residence, two women sat with very different expressions.Thea Walton, the War God of Mericania, sat in quiet poise. Her military-styled coat rested on the back of her seat, revealing the sleeveless black dress that clung to her form. Her eyes were narrowed slightly, but not from anger she was deep in thought. Still, beneath her stillness, an undeniable impatience lingered.Beside her, Hannah Stone paced the room in tight, agitated circles. Every third step, she would stop, whirl around, and begin her rant again with renewed vigor.“This is ridiculous,” Hannah snapped, flicking her long dark hair behind her shoulder. “How long have we been waiting? Twenty minutes? Thirty?”Thea d
