Michael ran as fast as he could immediately he heard the news. His legs shaky as he did.Though, he was no longer with Lucy but, he still cares about Graps, Lucy’s grandfather and hearing the news that Lucy’s grandfather was rushed to the hospital was enough to get him running without catching a breath.After he hailed a taxi, there was traffic and he had to resort to getting down the taxi and hailing a motorcycle that would give him a ride to the hospital.When he arrived at the hospital, the nurses said they were given a strict warning not to let him in and he knew that it had to be Lucy because she definitely wasn't over their divorce yet. He pleaded with them that he just had to see what was wrong with but, didn't listen and when they could no longer take his pleading, he was thrown out by the security men. But, as he sat at the entrance of the hospital, Alice, Lucy’s mother, came out and allowed him into the hospital ward were graps was.~His breath was feeble and slow.Lucy and
“I don't think you guys are listening to me. You are putting his life in danger. What is happening to graps is not going to be solved by surgery? If anything, surgery will worsen his issue. You have to listen to me, Lucy.”Michael grabbed Lucy. Immediately, Lucy withdraws from his grip and hits him across the face.“Get the hell out of here. I don't want to see your disgusting face around me again. Get out!”“I'm not leaving.”Michael stubbornly confirmed again.“Youd need to deal with right here if you want me to treat him. I don't want anybody bring disruption to my job.”Shaun angrily dashes out of the hospital ward the same time Liam walks in with two nurses. Liam tried calling Shaun back but, he didn't respond to him.“What's happening? Why is he leaving?”Lucy scoffs angrily. She grabs Michael and pulls him along with her, shoving him out of the ward aggressively.“Listen, you little weasel, get out of here and get out of my life for good! I hate you and everyone here also hates
Shaun, with his charismatic demeanor, assured Lucy that he possessed extensive knowledge of herbs and alternative medicine. “Are you saying that I didn’t know what I’m doing!”He claimed that Michael, a seasoned expert in conventional medicine, was merely trying to undermine him out of professional rivalry. “Not at all, I was only letting you know that the procedure you’re taking would lead to a fatal loss.”Despite Shaun's insistence, Michael persisted in warning them about the potential dangers lurking in Shaun's unconventional approach. “I’m piste he’s only jealous that someone more professional finally shows up.”Torn between trust and skepticism, Lucy found herself in a difficult position. She respected Shaun's confidence but couldn't ignore Michael's years of experience. Ultimately, Lucy decided to let Shaun proceed but with caution. Her grandfather's life depended on this choice, and she couldn't afford to make a hasty decision.Shaun, fueled by determination, gathered a varie
The air was thick with anticipation as Shaun eagerly observed Lucy's grandfather after administering his supposed antidote. Confident in the effectiveness of his concoction, Shaun's eyes sparkled with hope. However, within moments, the atmosphere shifted drastically as the old man's condition took a horrifying turn.Foam formed at his mouth, and he convulsed violently, blood emerging from his ears and nose. Panic gripped Shaun and Lucy as they witnessed the unexpected and alarming reaction. The room filled with desperate cries, and the weight of uncertainty pressed upon them.Despite the chaos, Shaun attempted to mask his concern. Sweating with anxiety, he insisted to Lucy that such extreme symptoms might be a natural reaction to the antidote. He urged her to wait and observe, assuring her that the situation would improve. Lucy, torn between hope and fear, hesitated but clung to the possibility that Shaun's concoction might still prove effective.Amidst the turmoil, Michael swiftly to
A little hope flickered like a distant flame as Lucy's grandfather showed signs of improvement after Michael's medicine. The old man's weakened state seemed to be gradually turning around, offering a glimmer of hope to the worried faces surrounding him. However, amidst the tentative relief, an undercurrent of tension lingered.Shaun, unwilling to admit his mistake, insisted to Lucy that even without Michael's intervention, the old man would have recovered in seconds. He painted Michael as an opportunist, claiming credit for a success that was supposedly inevitable. Lucy, torn between the conflicting claims, observed her grandfather with cautious optimism.Amused by Shaun's attempts to deflect blame, Michael couldn't let the charade continue. With a knowing smile, he challenged Shaun, questioning if he truly believed in the efficacy of his own "antidote." Michael proposed a dare, asking Shaun to demonstrate his confidence by taking the concoction himself. Shaun hesitated, stuttering an
“Hi, Michael, about the other day, I am really sorry, I didn't mean…” “Hello Michael, so I didn't mean to speak the way I did I was just worried about my grandfather and….. No that is too cheerful” “Michael can I have a word, I shouldn’t have spoken to you the way I did and now I feel really bad and…Nop, Lucy… too serious” “Michael, I just want to say thank you and I am sorry for the way …Argh!…” Lucy grunted pacing around her room, with her phone in her hands, contemplating in how to apologize about what she did to Michael. She pulled a chair and sit “God, pull your shit together, Lucy, he is your ex husband so what? He saved your grandfather and you want to do is express the way you feel, apologize for doubting him and.. And., and” she whined, cozied up in her couch, staring at his number without having the courage to call him. She got up, heading toward her kitchen to make something for herself, she pulled out the cabinet, searching for anything without having to go through th
Chapter 83 “Let go of me!” “Let me go you monster!” “Let me go!” Lucy screeched as she tried to break free from Hunter. Hunter turned to Liam and Liam gestured for him to let her go. Lucy rushed toward Louisa, her hands trembling seeing her covered in blood, she turned her over, pulling her closer to her chest “Please open your eyes, please” she begged but Louisa was gone. There was nothing left. Lucy hugged her cold body in tears as she remembered the few moments they shared together, Louisa did everything within her power to help Lucy realize the kind of man Liam was and also protected her and guided her through her struggles. It’s hurt Lucy because she didn’t remember her mother but Louisa filled the void in some ways and Iess felt loved by her. She raised her head glaring at Liam “You’re a monster!” “You are a beast!” “How could you kill her?” “How could you do this!” She screeched. Liam rolled his eyeballs like he didn’t give a shit because he didn’t give a shit. Lucy gent
Karina looked around the family room uninterested in any topic they talked and slowly are her food in silence. Beside her was Raymond Salve the son of the prime minister.“You look as beautiful as you were described to me.” Raymond smiled warmly at her but she kept a straight face wanting to show that she didn’t at all want him to be with her but he seemed like such a push over and continued to talk to her, she responded shortly and barely looked at him.“What do you say about talking more at the veranda?” He suggested but she immediately hesitated.“I would stay here.” She shrugged her shoulder and took a sip of her wine, Raymond looked around the table hoping no one had witnessed that had happened.“It’s fine if you don’t want to.” He chuckled and sipped his wine while staring at her from the corner of his eyes.“You seem rather talkative, I didn’t like such people.” Karina told him setting his insecurities on, he almost choked on his drink but she didn’t care, she was a brutally ho
After leaving the company, and heading back home, Michael received a text message.He took out his phone and read through“Your brothers sold you out, if there is one thing I like more than anything, it would be revenge, you think you can take what belongs to me? Think again, you sicko because I can also do the same.. Do you know that your woman Karina is pregnant with your child? I bet you didn't because why would you leave her to wander around when you know I am out there looking to devour you”Michael could not believe what he saw, until Rasheel sent him a picture with Karina tied to a chair and a lid over her mouth, tears rolling down her eyes.His phone rang, Henry her father was calling.“Father” he answered“It's Karina, she is missing… she said she wanted to take a walk in the garden but we haven't seen her, please, please find her” he muffled.“Father is Mother there?” he asked calmly with his fist clenched, holding back his urge to go over and kill Rasheel and his brother.“
“Father!”“Father!” Edgar yelled as he rushed into his father’s room, angrily, he was fuming.Montreal, who lay on the bed, knew why his son was calling out to him, pretended not to hear him, and outright ignored him.Edgar walked into the room to see his father, on his tablet, ignoring him.“Father! How could you do this to me? After everything that I have done for you! After putting so much effort and energy into doing everything you asked!” Edgar lashed“Father, we are highly disappointed in you, you could have Edgar or me take over your position, why did you give it to that bastard!” Kylen, the second son lashed at his father.“We’ve done so much but you chose the son that caused you so much downfall and forgot about us that stood by your side all these years! How could you!” Edgar lashed again.Montreal ignored them, knowing that he would only say hurtful things to them.“What is going on here? Why are you guys yelling at your father, I did not train you in such a manner!” Louisa
Rasheel got up, ready for the day’s activities, he went to his room, got dressed, and set for the day.“There must be a great occasion today” Lucy muffled as she watched him dressed after a brutal night together. 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 was lost, confused.She gazed at Michael in awe “What is happening, what are you guys talking about?” she raspedMichael’s lips parted as he gazed at Karina, knowing that he never told her much about himself, nothing about his family and where he came from.“Tell Mr Montreal I said I am never coming back to that family! You guys can solve whatever problem you find yourself for all I care!” I sneered“But Sir Michael” Collins muffledMichael glared at him “The next time you call me or bother my wife again, I will have your head delivered back to that family, do you understand?” Michael growled“Yes sir” Colin breathed“Do you understand!” Michael snarled, his eyes darkened as though he was on a rampage, sending shivers down Colin’s spine. He gulped down “Yes sir” he yelled and dashed out of Karina’s office.Michael exhaled, turning to Karina who was waiting for an explanation.“Do you remember when I told you I came from a complicated family and when I told you to trust me and b
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
After Karina’s friends are sent somewhere far away till Rasheel forgets about them or when he gets apprehended, Karina goes home to visit her mother.“I just need to spend a day with her,” Karina said to Michael, kissing his hands and swinging them while she hoped he would find it easy to send her off.Michael knew the last time she saw her mother was at the grand dinner they all had as a family and at the event where Henry, her father introduced him to some of his major businessmen so she understood that a daughter would miss her mother and want to spend some time alone with her.He pulled her closer, kissing all over her body “I’ll miss you” He pouted.“It’s just a day” she chuckled, wrapping her arms around him “Even if it's just an hour, I’ll still miss you” he muffled “But I understand you miss your mother so, ensure you spend some quality time with her before I come to pick you up tomorrow,” he said to her and she nodded.Karina got into a cab and was taken down to her mother’s
Rasheel was going crazy, he was losing his mind, “What do you mean she is gone? Gone where!” he lashed, aiming his gun at his guard who stood before him, trembling, beads of sweat plastered on his forehead, his legs wobbling.In his mind, he knew it was his last day on earth.Rasheel’s phone rang, and he pulled it out of his pocket to answer “Speak! 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,
Miles drove to the meet-up spot that Michael had sent to him, Sally and Zach were now in the passenger seat although they were still confused by the situation, they kept mute and decided to trust Miles once more.Driving into the compound, Sally saw Karina along with Michael, ready to welcome them but something else caught their eyes, Miles' parents were also there. Sally and Zach turned to each other confused. “What are your parents doing here?” Zach asked.With tears in his eyes, Miles ignored his friends and drove till they were safely in the building, he dashed out of his car, breaking into tears as he ran into his mother’s arms.“I’m sorry…I’m sorry” He cried.His father and Mother held him in their hands, stroking his hair and patting his back with tears in their eyes as well.Karina met Sally and Zach halfway. “I am so sorry guys, I'm sorry it took too long to find you ....I'm sorry” Karina apologized.Sally shook her head and hugged Karina “No it's fine” She muffled “Karina?”
Now it was left to Miles to get his friends out of the mansion without getting the attention of any of the guards that are loyal to Rasheel. Unfortunately for him, Lara had a shoot that morning and could not help him out, even if she was around, she would only make things worse has Rasheel had eyes on her, if you think the recording bracelet is the only thing Rasheel has on Lara and his other people, then you are wrong, that motherfucker also has a tracker and a live GPS installed on their phones, tracking their locations every minute and seconds of the day.Miles took it upon himself to get his friends out since they were only there because of him in the first place, if only..if only he never trusted Rasheel if only he never met Rasheel at all.He snuck past the guards standing at the door and walkway, heading to the room in which his friends were being locked up. As he walked in, he slammed the door.“What the fuck is he doing here!” Zach yelled, grabbing the bars in which he was lo
