The imposing presence and fearsome reputation of Dario made everyone in the room scramble to distance themselves from the entrance.

No one wanted to become the scapegoat of his wrath.

Whispers grew louder, accusations flying in the air as they tried to shield themselves.

A sharp feminine voice broke through the tension. “It’s you right?!” she hissed, her eyes narrowing at her partner. “You’re always causing trouble. I hope you’re not the one Dario’s after!”

The man’s face drained of color, his body shaking visibly. “It’s not me!” he stammered, his voice trembling with fear.

He held the edge of the table tight as he silently prayed, his breath shallow, wishing with everything he had that it wasn’t him.

Suddenly, Lydia’s voice rang out, sharp and condescending. She pointed directly at Richard, “it’s you,” she said, her voice filled with certainty. “I know it’s you!”

She turned to everyone and repeated. “It’s him! I know. He must have offended Dario.”

“Pretty lady, are you sure of thi

    Dario was infamous for his unparalleled ruthlessness, with terrifying rumors surrounding anyone who crossed him. He was known to many as a beast.Yet, Richard looked Dario directly in the eye, showing no fear and remaining completely relaxed. Dario’s face was a mask of cold, menacing calm, his piercing gaze locking onto Richard intensely.His face was set in a stern expression, his lips slightly curled in a sneer, as if daring Richard to break the silence. But Richard remained quiet, his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on Dario. In the room also were Dario’s huge, muscular bodyguards, each holding different types of weapons, their eyes fixed on Richard with unwavering hostility.Dario’s boots thudded against the floor as he strode toward Richard, his steps measured. It was like the cold, domineering air around him sucked the air out of the room. He stopped mere inches from Richard, his icy gaze boring into him. But Richard didn’t flinch. Dario smirked at Richard’s calm

    Richard’s gaze darkened at the mention of Delilah’s name, her name bringing frustration to him. “Delilah??”“Yes, boss,” Dario answered. “Kent’s father is her uncle.”“I see,” Richard nodded, his voice low. He straightened, his tone colder now. “Deal with Kent however you see fit. But under no circumstances are you to reveal my identity. Do you understand?”Dario nodded fervently. “Of course, boss. Your wish is my command.”“Good,” Richard said.Normally, Richard’s temper would have led Kent to suffer severe consequences, but considering Kent’s ties to Delilah, Richard chose leniency. After all, if his engagement with Delilah couldn’t be dissolved in the future, he might have to accept Delilah as family. This compelled him to exercise caution. “Rise,” Richard ordered, his voice calm yet firm. Dario immediately shook his head, his voice slightly trembling. “Boss, no, please! We don’t deserve to rise. If you wish, we’ll stay in this position for the rest of the day. We deserve noth

    Sir Wilson sighed deeply, running his fingers through his hair. Several thoughts raced through his mind all at once that it felt like his head was about to explode. His entire being was immersed in grief. Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, making him snap out of his thoughts. *knock* *knock*Sir Wilson’s head jerked toward the door, his brows furrowing.All the guests had already left, so there shouldn’t be any visitors at this time, he thought. Curious about who it could be, he glanced at his wife, hurried to the door and opened it. His eyes flew wide open when he saw Richard standing behind the door. “Richard!” he called, his voice barely above a whisper. Lydia’s tear streaked face froze, her brows snapping together the moment she heard the name. She crawled forward to confirm what she just heard. She and her mother exchanged stunned glances, her expression a mix of anger and confusion. “What the fuck!” she whispered to her mother. How could Richard emerge un

    Dario chuckled, lowering his head briefly before lifting his gaze back to Kent’s father. “Your threats,” he said, his lips curling into a faint smirk, “mean very little.”Kent’s brows furrowed deeply at Dario’s words. His tone was calm, almost bored. He locked his steely gaze on Kent’s father, showing not a hint of concern. “You can rely on whoever you want,” he said. “It will only change little to nothing.”“Now, leave,” he concluded with a commanding tone and sat down calmly. “You are going to regret this,” Kent began but Dario didn’t bother and paid him no attention. Instead he turned to his bodyguard. “Get rid of these pests,” he ordered dismissively. Kent clenched his fists tighter, his jaw tight with suppressed anger, while his father adjusted his coat with deliberate slowness and stood up. The bodyguards urged them forward, and escorted them till they were completely out of the building. The moment they got outside, Kent stormed a few steps forward before kicking a nearb

    Meanwhile, before Richard arrived at the real estate center, Lydia’s friend, Layla, was there chatting with one of the real estate agents, Giola. Giola’s face was a mix of gratitude and excitement, her eyes sparkling as she spoke. “Layla, I honestly don’t know if I can thank you enough,” she said, her voice warm with sincerity. “The potential clients you referred to me last month? Absolute gems!” A confident smile spread across Layla’s lips.“In fact, one of them already closed on that luxury apartment near the beach,” Giola said, her hands clasped together, and smiling brightly. “The commission I will make will be huge!”Layla brushed a strand of hair off her shoulder. “C’mon it’s nothing. Some of us are just blessed with great connections,” she said, her words dripping with pride. Giola let out a happy sigh, and looked up. “I’m particularly hopeful about a client I’m expecting today. He’s a young man interested in that high-end villa we just listed. If he buys it…”She paused,

    The new agent was a bit confused, but Giola and Layla were gone before she could ask any questions.She turned to Richard, her confused look replaced with a polite, professional smile. “Good day sir, I’m Tesla. Please come with me” she said and led him to a private meeting room. On the other hand, Giola let out a sigh of relief, traces of anger still lingering in the furrow of her brows. She turned to Layla and sighed, her voice tinged with exhaustion. “Thank you for saving me from whatever nonsense that man had in store. Honestly, I don’t have time to waste nor the patience for rubbish.”Layla smirked. “Of course, darling. I can’t sit and watch you waste your time on that crook. You wouldn’t believe the number of people he’s duped…” She hissed, utterly disgusted. “The first day I met him, he tried to scam a five star restaurant where my friends and I went to eat. You need to see how he was beat up and thrown out!..”“The audacity of someone like him walking in here and pretending

    Layla, on the other end of the call, was confused. “What are you talking about?”“The client… the young man… he wasn’t a scam. He even paid the full amount upfront. Layla, I just missed a very huge opportunity,” she blurted, her frustration spilling over.The line went silent. “Layla?” Giola called, her voice rising with urgency.Still no response.“Layla!” she repeated, her tone sharper.“Yes.. yes,” Layla answered, shock evident in her voice. “Giola, are you sure of this?”Giola exhaled sharply through her nose, trying to hold back the surge of anger bubbling inside her. How can she be asking me that? Giola thought. “Yes I am sure,” she said with a controlled tone, trying her best not to lash out. “Lydia, Richard just bought a villa!” Layla blurted to Lydia who was seated next to her. “Giola, please I’ll call you later,” she said and hung up the phone. Giola’s eyes widened in shock, her jaw dropping. “Did she just hang up?? Wow! I’m finished.” Meanwhile, Lydia’s brows furrowed

    Richard stepped out of the cab, his gaze lifting to the imposing structure of his newly purchased villa. He looked around and let out a sigh of relief. “Finally,” he muttered, smiling brightly, The grand, modern facade was a blend of sleek glass panels and soft beige stones with trimmed hedges. And at the center was also a beautiful fountain with flowers around. He grabbed his luggage from the car boot, paid and thanked the driver, before walking to the front door. As the door opened, he couldn’t deny the wave of calm that washed over him. It was ‘Peace’. Finally. The living room had luxurious furniture, high ceilings, and sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He exhaled deeply, feeling satisfied with his new home. The quiet was a stark contrast to the constant tension at Lydia’s home. No more Lydia. No more Lady Wilson. he thought, his lips curling into a small, relieved smile. After exploring a bit of the villa, Richard finally settled in. Moments late

    Richard carefully reached for a small leather pouch in his kit and opened it. In it was an array of neatly arranged tools and vials. He took a slender pair of forceps and used them to pick up a small, round pill from a compartment lined with velvet.He needed to administer the Curexol pill to the boy. But the boy was unconscious, how would he swallow?Richard assessed the situation in his mind for a moment. Just then, he crushed the pill into a fine powder, mixing it with a small amount of sterile water from a vial in his kit.With a syringe, he drew the liquid mixture before gently removing the tubing from the boy’s nostril. “He can’t breathe without it. What are you doing?!” Christopher’s wife shouted but her husband held her back.Richard carefully tilted the boy’s head slightly to the side to prevent choking as the child’s chest heaved faintly, his body instinctively struggling to draw air.“Breathe,” he murmured in the ears of the boy. And with delicate precision, he inserted t

    Moments later, Richard arrived at Christopher’s house in the latter’s luxurious ride. “We’re here,” Christopher informed as the driver turned into the driveway, leading them to the front of the house. He had brought Richard to see his son, intending for Richard to gain a deeper understanding of the boy’s condition. Seconds later, the car came to a halt and both men alighted. “Please come with me,” Christopher led Richard into the room where his son lay. They walked into a large room, the beeps of medical monitors echoing softly in the room. The young boy was still on the bed, his frail body barely lifting with each shallow breath. There was also a nasal cannula fixed in his nose for delivering oxygen directly to him. His skin was very pale and his sunken cheeks made him look even fragile, with dark circles underneath his closed eyes. Next to the boy was a woman seated. She was lost in thoughts when they walked in that she didn’t even realize. “Darling,” Christopher tapped he

    “I will reveal the doctor’s identity to you…” Daniel suddenly stepped forward and said, his words cutting through the tension in the air. Everyone’s eyes snapped at him, their expressions a mix of surprise and disbelief. Is he okay in the head? They thought. How could he utter such a statement right after grandpa’s declaration?Sir Vester turned to face him, his eyes burning with a seething anger that was very evident. Janae’s brow furrowed with shock and concern, while Collin’s lips parted as if to say something, but no words came out. Delilah, however, was the first to react. Her eyes widened for a brief moment before a sly smile tugged at the corner of her lips. “Really?” she asked.“…if you promise to leave my family alone,” Daniel added, his voice firm but strained, as though he was weighing the consequences of his words. He could not shake the feeling of everyone’s eyes on him either. Delilah’s smile widened into a grin. She arched one eyebrow, and purred, “well, well… Oka

    Back in the estate courtyard, Delilah expressed her gratitude to Janae and her family. Her lips curled into a gracious smile as her gaze swept over the private area that had been prepared for her and her entourage. The lavishness of the area spoke volume of the effort Janae’s family had put in, especially for an impromptu visit. The large table alone was set with an abundance of delicacies; exquisite wines, rare fruits, and curated dishes befitting nothing less than the status of a war goddess. “Truly,” she said, her voice smooth and warm, “your hospitality is remarkable. It’s no small thing to welcome a guest… particularly one who arrives unannounced.”Her smile deepened, a clear air of authority mingling with her gratitude. “To have gone to such lengths on my behalf is beyond what I could have expected. You’ve really outdone yourselves.”Though her words seemed sincere, they carried an undertone that made it clear she accepted their efforts as only natural for someone of her sta

    Just as Richard brushed past Delilah, and as the latter prepared to keep moving, Mr Christopher coming from the opposite direction quickly called out to Richard. “Mr Richard, I’ve made my decision concerning the herb,” he said, his tone respectful.‘Herb?’Richard quickly stopped to listen to what he had to say. He had been anticipating his response all evening anyway. But Christopher didn’t say any other word, his eyes darting around as he suddenly realized his voice was a bit loud, drawing the attention of everyone, including Delilah. He quickly looked around the room, and seeing the curious stares fixed on him, his cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and nervousness.He met Delilah’s gaze and quickly looked away, holding back the lump that formed in his throat. ‘Why was he loud?’ Janae thought to herself, her stomach tightening as Christopher’s voice echoed through the room, a little too loud for her liking. She bit her lower lip, anxiety creeping up her spine. In lite

    Suddenly, Delilah’s steps faltered, and then she stopped entirely, her piercing gaze locking onto a young man approaching her path. The quiet ripple of her stopping send waves of unease through her entourage who immediately halted as well. “Who’s that? Does he have a death wish?” someone whispered, their voice tinged with disbelief, as everyone's gaze fell on Richard.Another voice chimed in, hushed but urgent. “Is he not afraid? Or he doesn't know who she is?” “Who doesn’t know who she is?”He’s got guts!Richard, on the other hand, strode casually, his eyes fixed on his phone, oblivious to the fact that he was on Delilah’s path.Delilah tilted her head, her sharp eyes narrowing in scrutiny at the approaching figure, wondering who had so much courage to disregard her presence–Her presence no one had ever dared to disregard. Just then, Richard lifted his head just to meet Delilah’s furious gaze. The moment she realized it was Richard, her eyes widened in surprise. Her brows quic

    Delilah stepped out of her red Mercedes Benz, her heels clicking against the polished stone as Samuel followed closely behind her. Behind them was her entourage including a procession of guards dressed in coordinated black suits marching in disciplined silence. As they moved, their footsteps echoed faintly in the open space, announcing their presence. Delilah’s black evening dress flowed gracefully around her as she strode forward majestically, her sharp gaze scanning the surrounding courtyard.“Look! She’s here!” Daniel whispered in awe, his voice barely audible over the collective gasp that rippled through the few guests nearby. The entire family moved quickly to greet Delilah with great respect. Janae stepped forward first and lowered her gaze, bowing slightly. “Welcome Goddess Delilah,” she said warmly, “it’s an honor to have you here. Thank you for gracing us with your presence tonight.”“Thank you, Janae,” she said, offering a small and approving nod. “Congratulations on su

    Meanwhile, Delilah was still seated in her car, engaged in a conversation with Samuel Orchid. “Do you think he’ll be in attendance?” she said to him, her keen gaze fixed ahead. “Who?”“The healer who treated Sir Vester. Why do you think I’m here? He’s the sole reason why I’m attending this event. I have to find him,” she turned to Samuel. Desperation was evident in her eyes as she spoke. Finding someone had never been a difficult task for her, and this wouldn’t be either. “If I can’t get my hand on the miracle doctor himself, I will definitely find this particular healer,” she added with finality.Samuel let out a deep sigh, his eyes narrowing in doubt. “I still find it hard to believe that someone could cure an illness the mighty Doctor Ben failed to treat,” he said, shaking his head.“Right, it’s unbelievable,” Delilah said. “But Doctor Ben himself witnessed everything in person. Even he was in awe… this healer is exceptional.”“What if he’s the miracle doctor?” Samuel suggeste

    Richard stopped Christopher gently, quickly blocking his path. He had this pressing feeling that Christopher was hiding the truth. And he knew his instincts always turned out to be true. ‘Is he lying because he might also need the herb for a medical condition?’ Richard thought to himself, his brows lifting. “Mr Christopher,” Richard began but got interrupted by Janae. “Are you sure you don’t have the herb?” she asked, stepping closer. “I was almost completely sure you had it.”“Or didn’t you?” She added, evidently confused. Christopher sighed, almost getting upset. “Ms Janae, if I say I don’t have it, then I don’t have it,” he said, trying to sound as polite as possible. “Why would I lie? “Maybe because you might need it for a medical condition,” Richard said, his words quick as he gazed at him intently. Richard’s speculation shook Christopher because he knew it was true. Now even if he tried, he couldn’t exactly mask his pretense.“Mr…” he inhaled deeply and continued. “Mr Ric
