Lara didn't know why our friends suddenly became mute. A few seconds ago they were all eager to help, running their mouths like a broken faucet and now there they were, trembling, beads of sweat plastered on their forehead as they looked at her as though she was doomed. “Guys, what is the matter? Why do you look as though you’ve seen a ghost?” she blurted, utterly confused as she watched them still trying to make sense of their reaction.“What do you mean they are demons? They are just an entertainment company, I know they are a bit weird but it's still just an entertainment company, why are you all shaken” she muffled, with her brows still furrowed, turning to Lucy, she saw the scare, the worry on her face and that was when she knew things had gone south and it wasn't looking good. “Guys” she whimpered as reality hit her that shit had gone wrong. “Guys please say something, what is the matter?” Zach gasped with his eyes shut he clenched his feet aggressively, he was about to thro
As Rasheel’s men surrounded the group, everyone began to panic. They looked around worried, panting they saw the pleasure emitting from Rasheel’s men. They gulped down in fear. The man took the cheque Zach had handed over to him, he smirked and tore the cheque before him then threw the pieces of paper over Zach’s face. Zach gnashed his teeth, his fist clenched as he glared at the man, Lucas who seemed to be having fun as he watched them tremble in fear. “Take the money and go, or you will not like what happens next” Zach warned, glaring at Lucas. The rest of the group turned to Zach in awe. “Is he insane?” “Does he not know that Rasheel can kill him and get away with it?” “Is he begging to die?” they mumbled amongst each other in awe. Miles tapped Zach, trying to knock some senses into him, yanking him back to reality. “Are you crazy? What do you think you’re doing!” Miles muffled, Zach snapped his hands off Miles “You people should be ashamed of yourselves! Going after young
Lucas turned to Michael with his head slightly bent to look at Michael, he didn't realize Michael was there the whole time, he wasn’t looking presentable enough to sit or dine with Karina’s friends so he never took him into account. Lucas turned around to see if Michael was referring to someone else to someone else but to his greatest shock, Michael was referring to him. Lucas felt insulted and humiliated, first Zach and Milwa had taken down his guards before he returned with backup and now a low life like Michael just insulted him before the lower guards he brought with him. The group turned their attention to Michael, wondering why would get himself involved in a situation that was obviously no good to a low-life like him but little did they know about his true identity. “He is out of his mind if he dares speak to Rasheel’s men like that” One of the ladies hissed. “Listen to me young man, I don't know who you are and why you are trying to get yourself involved in a matter that i
The group could not quite understand why Michael would risk his life to get himself into trouble like this. He was not her but an ordinary doctor, one that doesn't have a medical degree, work in a prestigious hospital, or even have strong connections. “He is crazy!” “He doesn't value his life” “What does Karina sees in him?” “He is tired of life and is trying to commit suicide, I just hope I do not get into trouble because of his little attempt to play hero just because he knows a little martial art!” the group mumbled amongst themselves. Of course, Michael had saved them from Lucas at that moment, they should be grateful but they couldn't help but think about the consequences of things that could follow if Rasheel found out they had attacked his guards. “Listen, Michael, I do not know the scheme you are trying to pull but you need to stop whatever it is you’re doing and don't get us into any more trouble!” Miles snapped, of course, he was frightened. “Ugh,” Michael grunted. L

Lucy put a calm look on her face as she gazed at Michael, her lips parted and she gulped down with tears filling her eyes. She pulled herself before turning to Lucas who was still stunned by the revelation of Michael being his boss's wife's friend. He thought about all the things he said and did to Michael and Karina, he bit his lower lips in regret, knowing that Lucy would make him pay for trying to kill him even though he was just carrying out his boss's orders. “And what are you still doing here?” She sneered at him, glaring at him. Disgust and anger plastered on her face. Lucas gulped down, and instantly he bowed with his head hitting the floor “Please forgive me, Mrs. Rasheel, please forgive me, I had no idea who he was, I was only carrying out the orders Mr. Rasheel had given to me, I surely would not have laid a finger on him if I knew he was your friend, please spare me just this once” he pleaded, with his hands clasped together, hoping that Lucy would look to him with merc
Lucy gazed at Michael with disbelief in her eyes, tears filled them. She hit her lips hard as Michael stood there looking at her with no ounce of emotion. “Just how much do you hate me? '' she muffled, fighting back the tears that filled her eyelids while lying on the broken bottles scattered on the floor with her palm slightly from the sharp edges of the bottles. Michael with his two hands dipped into his pocket, his gaze cold, glared at her for a while, with no intention of helping her. “Get off the floor and stop overreacting” he blurted, turning slightly to show that he had no interest in helping her. Lucy clenched her fist as her heart hurt, and those unshed tears finally flowed down her cheeks. “This is for the best,” she muffled with her head buried as the tear dropped on her blood on the floor. Michael turned a little “What are you talking about?” He muttered. She lifted her head slowly “I was thinking about how to tell you the news without hurting you any further but I
Karina and Michael arrived at his medical center, they stepped out of the car. “You don't have to come down with me, go home, you’ve tried enough for the day, you should get some rest,” Michael said to her with a light smile plastered on his face. Karina frowned “Wow, you are so ungrateful, you could not even invite me over for a cup of coffee or a glass of water at least,” She muffled He scoffed “Sorry, would you like a glass of water?” he asked politely. She laughed “I’m fine, thank you” She muttered. “Thanks for today” She added He arched his brows slightly “Which part? Protecting you or me acting as your man?” he teased. Karina’s lips parted slightly, as memories of her introducing him as her man before her friends flashed through her mind. She squinted her eyes and slightly hid her face away “Are you shy?” he teased She turned to him and snarled “You’re having fun aren't you” she blurted, scowling with her fist clenched cutely. Michael tried to hide his laughter but they
