Ryan's breath hitched slightly at the unexpected tenderness of Mrs. Sonya's touch. Mrs. Sonya's hesitation was palpable, the weight of the moment stretching out between them as she finally removed his shirt completely. Mrs. Sonya coughed, turning away to hide her flushed cheeks. She busied herself at the sink, letting the cold water run over the bloodied shirt, as she wrung out the shirt, the water tainted pink with diluted blood swirling down the drain.Mrs. Sonya possessed a beauty that was both striking and serene, a delicabalance that seemed to echo the dualities of her life. Her features held an angelic quality, with soft, gentle curves. Her skin, a flawless canvas, had a subtle glow, yet beneath the surface lay the traces of sleepless nights and worry lines.Her eyes, deep and expressive, were framed by long, dark lashes. Her hair, a cascade of luscious locks, fell around her shoulders in a manner that was both effortless and ele
Ryan thought for a moment and shook his head. He knew humans well enough. They were ready to exploit anything exploitable. Even with his cover as it was still suspicious how he had really healed her. This was a terminal disease that only heart surgery could solve and if news of a random man using accupuncture to heal someone with the disease it was enough to cause a wave. Mrs Sonya watched as her daughter looked at her with curiosity in her eyes. "Mommy, am I going to die?" She asked her in her little girl's voice. Mrs Sonya patted Emily's little head and assured her. "No, Emily," She said as she pushed back tears at the corner of her eyes. "Then why are you crying?" She asked, looking at her mother intently. Sonya shook her head, "These are tears of joy, I'm happy to see you're fine." Sonya sniffled she turned back to look at Ryan standing behind her. "She would be discharged soon," She smiled and he nodded at her with a strange look in his eyes. He couldn't explain it but a
Ryan left the duo there walking out of the mansion briskly.Whether it was just his intuition or the boons from the rings ability but he knew the young man's gaze was fixed on his back. But he didn't turn back to look at them. "Bye dear." Sonya called out to him and he stiffened. It felt so awkward but Ryan knew just exactly what happened there. It was not hard to guess that Sonya had used him to avoid that young man asking her out to the banquet. "But why?"He wondered.********* The days went by in a flash and he didn't even realize when the weekend arrived. Ding! Ding! He squinted as he woke up to his blaring alarm, it was already late afternoon and he hadn't even been woken up earlier by his morning alarm. Groaning as he stretched his hands to stop the alarm, it immediately stopped and he rolled on his back to stare at the flat ceiling above him. He sighed as he thought of the things he had to do today. His Scar ointment was managed by Mrs Sonya already so ge didn't have

Ryan's heart skipped a beat as panic began to settle in. The invitation card, his golden ticket to the evening's event, was missing. The realization hit him like a cold wave as he frantically searched his pockets once more, hoping against hope that he might have missed it somehow. "I'm telling the truth. Please, there must be some mistake," Ryan pleaded, his voice edged with desperation. The dim lighting of the entrance did little to hide the distress on his face.The bouncer, unimpressed and unmoved by Ryan's plea, crossed his arms. "No card, no entry. Those are the rules," he stated flatly, his gaze stern and unyielding.Ryan took a deep breath, trying to collect his thoughts. He knew he had to act quickly or risk missing the event entirely. "Listen, I understand the situation, but I'm expected inside. Could you please check the list? My name is Ryan Smith, and I assure you, I am a VIP guest."Then the bouncer raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical The bouncer frowned at him, "Sorry

He hadn't asked for her name that day and he thought he was never going to see her again but here she was steadily approaching him with a smile on her face.Ryan didn't have to look around to feel the eyes boring into him. 'Was she that popular?'"Hello," She smiled sheepishly as she stretched her hand towards him. Ryan gulped hard, "Nice to meet you again," He replied taking her outstretched hands, they were little and slender. A silence ensued between them with her hands still locked in his. "See you later," Ryan nodded his head and disengaged from the awkward hold. Umm…you didn't tell me your name the last time we met." She said as he made ro leave. Ryan noticed the man in black suit that was standing with her earlier, he was in a hearing distance and when he heard that they had only met once his eyebrows he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Ryan." He replied looking directly at her eyes. "I'm Avery, Thank you for that night, I wasn't able to thank you." She gently bowed her
Sonya shook her head, "These are tears of joy, I'm happy to see you're fine." Sonya sniffled she turned back to look at Ryan standing behind her. "She would be discharged soon," She smiled and he nodded at her with a strange look in his eyes. He couldn't explain it but at that moment he realized that he had to think of what he wanted to do with this power the magical ring had gifted him. He had a lot to try to find out about what the ring. Another thing he had to do was to make enough money from the ointment, he didn't like the idea of depending on Mrs Sonya although he knew she was looking for how to repay all his favors to her. "I think I'll head back now," Ryan said as he bowed gently and turned to walk towards the door. Then the calm voice of Mrs Sonya called him, "Ryan." He stopped in his tracks and looked back. "I feel very sleepy and I'm need to drive home with Emily can you drive us home?" She asked to his surprise. Ryan wondered why she needed him to drive her home. S
