Although time passed by quickly after he left the girl and the old man by the river, he didn't think he would see her so soon.The lady now looked a lot better, happier. Slade could sigh in relief. But when he realised where she was, he couldn't help but wonder again. Does she perhaps live here? Because she didn't look (dress) like someone who was here for the wedding."Good day, miss." Matthew's face turned warm when he saw the beautiful lady. There was a fat smile on his face.When the lady looked up and saw Slade, she was surprised. She recognized him instantly."This fool here has come to cause trouble," Matthew explained to the lady. "You're just in time; this thief might have stolen or copied your father's ring. We're about to take him to the police station."Father! The Paxtons were stunned as they looked at the girl in front of them.She's the only daughter of Jendall Kurtis. The heiress of the Kurtis mighty family!Although Candyce was the only daughter of her father, she was
Slade felt a blow to his chest at this instant. When he walked in on Mariana and she had turned to look at him, he had thought that she would feel remorseful at least, but looking at the way the things were going... Was she calling security on him? Really? Was she not even taken aback to see him? Couldn't she at least pretend that she cared that he just got out of prison?He realised that if he let her continue to scream on top of her voice, something else might happen, and he might not end up sorting out his bothers and worries.He shut his eyes for a moment and took charge of the atmosphere in the room. Concentrating helped him control everything that was around him. With the manipulation of the energy frequencies, he was easily able to break into the mind of Mariana.Doing this, he could suppress the mind of Mariana and make her lose her thinking ability for a moment.What he was doing right now was similar to what he did to Candyce when she had fallen into the river. With the aura
Suddenly, Mariana felt something dripping from her nostril. She didn't notice at first because she was enjoying tormenting Slade.When she realised, her eyes widened. There was blood pouring from both of her nostrils.She shuddered, cupping her palms to her nose to stop the blood from ruining her gown.There was a tornado of headache in her head. Her head hurt so bad that she almost thought that her skull would crack open."What's happening to me? My head hurts!" Mariana exclaimed.Slade was filled with extreme anger and sadness. It seemed like the more she opened her mouth to speak, the more malevolent and eviller she sounded.Was this the same girl he had dated almost all his life and almost gave his life away for?Was this really the same Mariana he loved so much?Was this the same Mariana who promised never to leave his side?Slade couldn't wrap his head around this. This was just too preposterous and unbelievable to be true! So it happened that she was no any different from her p
Slade didn't bother to want to leave. If he wanted to, he could shove Vixton out of the way and watch him break all his limbs. He could do all this without even breaking a sweat. But right now, he had something else in mind.People like Mariana and Vixton should be made to beg to keep their lives!"I'm in my right senses! It's really you! It's the murderer." Vixton smirked as he continuously accused Slade. "What the hell are you doing here today?"Vixton shook his head for a second."No, that's not the right question. How did you get out of prison? When were you released? Are you alive?" Vixton cackled as though he wished Slade dead. "What gave you the guts to show up on my wedding day?" Vixton's voice was gaining bass, and it seemed like he was beginning to lose his cool"Look around you!" Vixton ordered Slade. As he said this, he also looked around. "Where do you think you are? This is the West Jade Ave! Do you even have any clue what this means? This means that you're in the costli
They arrived at the villa. They didn't have to walk a long distance because the Villa was quite close to the church. Slade could now understand why Candyce had randomly walked to the scene at the cathedral.The villa stood out in the area. It looked really opulent, and its exterior design was very rear. It looked like a design that must have been contracted to one of the best architects in the whole world.Slade didn't want to focus on the building itself. There was an urgent business he had to attend to her. The pressing matter was much more important than the lush gardens that surrounded the building or the crystal private pool that overlooked the ocean view.Candyce was already at the front, pushing the alarm bell of the door. As soon as the doorbell tinged, the door opened from inside. It would seem as though the person behind the door had been expecting someone's presence.Walking through the door was none other than Jendall Kurtis. He was wearing a simple attire, and his face lo
Slade hardly had to resort to exuding aura to intimidate. He didn't like to do it because he believed that people should not be manipulated in order to instill fear or demand respect from them. But in this situation, he had to employ and exude compelling aura in order to get Candyce and the doctor to listen to him!He couldn't let their ego and foolishness cost the life of someone whom he had given his word to! Even if he wouldn't heal Jendall for their sake, he would do it because Jendall trusted and believed in him! Wasn't that one of the core beliefs in divine healing?If Jendall had not trusted him, the old man wouldn't have given him his treasured ring or even invited him to his villa! Also, because of the words that Slade had given to Jendall, he had to heal the man.The aura that had gushed out of Slade's body as he walked forward worked for a while. He didn't want the two to become brainless robots or statues that couldn't decide for themselves. He had to withdraw some aura to
CHAPTER 16."Switch off the air conditioner." Slade ordered out of the blue. Candyce had no reason to argue yet. She found the remote control of the AC and switched it off from the spot. "The pool of sweet has to dry naturally. It might look unnecessary, but it's important in the process." Slade added. "Who are you?" Doctor Huggins couldn't hold himself back anymore. At first, he had wanted to admire Slade from distance and not get too close because he was already looking for someone to blame the death of Jendall on if things didn't go well. But after seeing the technique that Slade had just employed in treating the old man, curiosity got the best of him, and he was now a mere shadow of his desires. Slade turned to look at the doctor. He saw the look of utmost awe crawling up the face of the man. He could still remember how this man was glaring at him earlier. He could remember how the man hardly paid any attention to him earlier. What changed now?"You look like someone who didn
Candyce swoon over her father, hugging him with every fiber in her body. She had thought that she had lost him. She had thought that her father had ended up as a specimen of a failed medical procedure. She couldn't believe that he was finally back to life.The flood that poured from her eyes soaked the portion of the cloth of her father where her face was buried in."You healed my father! You truly healed my father!" She suddenly felt remorseful towards Slade.She recalled that she had said a lot of harsh and unfair words to Slade. She wished to redeem herself at this moment. Her emotions got the best of her, and she has returned to her senses."I'm so sorry for all the evil words I said to you. I didn't mean for them to come out that way. I thought you were trying to extort us and pretend to be who you are not. Please forgive me." Although she was apologizing to him, she didn't leave her father yet.She was such a daddy's girl. The way she was holding her father, it would seem as tho
