2023-11-10 06:17:13A few hours passed and Karina's grandfather had begun to do well although he was still unconscious, his pale skin had begun to get back its original color.
Karina held his hand in her palm as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks. She was more than happy that he would remain with her for a while.
"In a few days he will be awake and healthy as before," Michael informed Karina who nodded happily and was unable to speak because of the joy she was feeling.
"Thank you so much, there are no amount of words to show how happy I am for what you have done," Karina said between tears as she stared up at Michael who nodded at her.
"You fool, even without those herbs, he would be fine… he just needed time for it to get deeper into his body so that he could get cured," Ryan snapped at Michael while trying to ruin his image in front of Karina. "You only did that just to be praised and steal my win."
"Steal?" Michael chuckled briefly, he guessed that something like this would happen after healing Karina's grandfather. Ryan was nothing more than a mischievous man who would do anything just to get what he wanted which made Michael dislike him even more.
"I could never stoop so low as you did today." Ryan glared at him furiously.
"Stoop low? I saved a man's life that you almost ended so you should remain silent." Michael frowned at him getting more irritated by Ryan.
"Are you sure, there's nothing wrong with the antidote you made?" Michale asked Doctor Ryan who hitched his breaths and flared at him.
"Just what are you getting at? Of course, I believe that the antidote worked." He glared, his face had turned red and his fists clenched in anger. "Why do you make a fuss out of nothing… such a bummer."
"If you do then why not drink it as it won't have any effects on you." Michael scoffed while staring innocently at Doctor Ryan who took a step back in hesitation, his eyes widened as he bit his lower lip.
"What…what are you trying to prove?" He scowled at Michael and turned to Karina who remained silent and was more concerned that her grandfather would be well soon enough. "I don't think involving yourself with someone like him is a good idea." He said to Karina.
"There's no need for you to say that, the basic thing is that my grandfather is okay and I'm satisfied with that," Karina said frowning but Ryan wasn't done just yet.
"Nonsense! I'm ready to expose this fool." Ryan continued to spit out as Michael stared at him with a calm demeanor.
"Doctor Ryan, there's no reason to pick up a fight." Karina tried to calm the situation which seemed to be getting out of hand.
Ryan snorted and turned around to see Michael who seemed to be absent-minded and staring at Karina’s grandfather, he quickly took out a needle from his pocket and aimed it at his neck but Michael who was well aware of his tricks dodged it swiftly. The needle had been embedded with strong poison that would be fatal if injected into the human body, causing the person to die almost instantly.
Michael hit him on his shoulders and interlocked his legs causing him to land on the floor with a thud. He had thought of letting him go but this was the height of it.
"What do you think you're doing?" Karina stood up from the stool she sat in and walked towards them.
"Let go of me you rascal."Ryan snapped but Michael wasn't about to listen to him as he was fed up with his petty tricks.
Michael threw the needle in front of Karina for her to see and she gasped.
"What is this?"
"This idiot tried to stab me with that just now." Ryan immediately lied against Michael who was no longer shocked by what he said and chuckled darkly.
"Isn't it time to keep the promise you made since you want to act all smart?" Michael tilted his brows while staring at Ryan whose eyes widened. "Or are you scared that your antidote would kill you?"
"Quiet!" Ryan shunned him. "I would not listen to you."
"If you're too scared to take your poison then why not let me break your hand as the alternative? It's not a hard decision to make." Michael shrugged his shoulders smiling mischievously.
"Do you know who I am to treat me this way? I would have you jobless and homeless in no time."
"Your threats mean nothing, if nothing you should beg for mercy," Michael told him coldly, sending shivers down his spine. He grabbed one of his hands and no matter how Ryan tried pulling away he wasn't strong enough to do so, fear gripped his heart and the thought of losing his hand made him sweat. His entire career would be over if his hand is ruined.
"What do you think you're doing?" He yelled, his voice encircled in fear. "Please I beg you don't do it… you know we're both in the same profession so please have mercy on me."
He continued to beg but Michael turned deaf to his pleas, he had given him more than enough chances to redeem himself but he chose the hard route and needed to pay the price.
He got on his feet immediately stomping on Ryan's hand causing him to scream in pain.
"Ahhhh!" Ryan yelled and lifted himself to his feet.
"What have you done you fucker? I will make sure you regret this" He yelled and without waiting for a response after seeing the dark gaze in Michael's eyes he quickly sprinted out the door.
Michael wasn't moved by his threats whatsoever and turned his gaze to Karina who was in total shock of the whole situation but snapped out of it.
She turned to look at Michael with a big smile on her face. "I have no words to show how happy I am that you were able to save him."
"It's no big deal." Michael waved it off. "I'm just glad that he made it in time… aside from that you need to find whoever poisoned him because I'm quite sure that person won't give up and do it again which may end his life."
Michael instructed her when his phone began to ring loudly in his pocket, he excused himself and pulled out his phone from his pocket and saw the caller ID was Lucy, he tilted his head wondering why she had called, and immediately answered.
"Hello?"
"Help me…please."

Worry took over him as he wondered what could have happened to Lucy and his mind raced in fear. "Is something the matter?" Karina asked with a look of sorry but Michale didn't have time to explain such a thing and turned around. "Excuse me… I'll be taking one of your cars." He made his way out of the room and made his way to the garage where a driver was already waiting to pick him up but Michael grabbed the keys from him and got into the car. "Sir, Miss Karina-" the driver tried to explain but was cut off by the sound of the engines being loud, Michael zoomed off not caring what the man had to say. "Damn it Lucy… why do you find yourself in such situations?" He mumbled, tightening his hands around the steering.

Emily stood in front of him in an attempt to stop him but she quickly moved away when she saw how his eyes had darkened."Give my daughter back you scoundrel, where do you think you're taking her to?"

She asked curiously again wanting to know more, she knew that Michael barely kept people around and it wasn't his wife and it had to be someone else but Michael wasn't about to reveal that, he gazed at her with a blank face and said nothing in hopes that she would not expect him to answer her question."An old friend." He mumbled looking away from her, she nodded her head skeptically gazing at him still wanting to know but said nothing."What about the issue you had to attend to just now, has it been resolved?"

Her mother rose from the chair and sat beside the bed holding her daughter's palm while rubbing it softly as though she genuinely cared for her."Mother?"

She scoffed, trampling on bus ego intentionally, she wanted to see just how long he could bear it."What?" Alec gazed at her furrowing his brows, he couldn't imagine a woman rejecting all of this when other women would die to have what he was offering her. "Do you want more?""Don't flatter yourself, you're in no place to speak to me… I have other things to attend to."

Think again, you sicko because I can also do the same.. Do you know that your woman Karina is pregnant with your child?

It wasn't like she could ever resist him, He was stronger and always determined each time, having her roughly and making sure there were bruises all over the following morning. Lucy was tired of crying and begging him because each time she begged him, she realized she was just adding gasoline to his fire, making him burn rapidly, pounding her like it was his last time on earth.“Yes, I have a very important board meeting today, wish me luck, honey” He winked at her.Lucy cringed at his madness, if anything, she wished he lost the contract and went broke.Rasheel chuckled, like he could read her like an open book “I know you wish for me to fail, but even if I fail, I am never going to let you go, you are too sweet” He smirkedLucy tightened her grip on her blanket, holding tig

Karina stood by the door, watching Lucy’s mother in tears, standing before Michael. She walked up to them “Michael, is everything okay?” she asked, gazing at Alice. “It's Lucy’s mum, she said she has something important to tell me” Michael responded. Karina turned to Michael to give her a listening ear, Michael didn't like the idea of having Alice in his house, he was clearly against it but he knew Karina wouldn't like it if he turned her down so he nodded in agreement to have her inside his house. They sat in the living room while Karina gestured to her maid to help Alice with a glass of water and a glass of juice so Alice could decide for herself which she wanted. As soon as the glass of water got to her table, Alice drank everything all at once. When the juice came, she gulped down again, making Michael disgusted “I am sure you are not here to wine and dine” he sneered at her and instantly Alice composed herself knowing that Michael had every right to be authoritative si

It better be worth my time” He sneered, boiling with rage. The guard at the other end of the phone was not sure if telling Rasheel at that time was a good idea but either way, Rasheel would find out so he made up his mind.“Sir, the CCTV guard Miles’s parents malfunctioned but now that it's back..” he paused, trembling in fear, not sure if it was a good idea to yell Rasheel.“What is the matter you son of a gun” Rahseel was still very much pissed about Lara yelled, still clenching the gun like his life depended on it.“Miles’ parents are gone and all our men are dead” He finally blurted“What?” he exclaimed “They are all gone, Sir Rasheel,
