A heavy lump of realisation found its way down Marcus’ throat and worry creased his brows.The manager was right and had him cornered. As a seasoned businessman, he of all people knew that word of mouth counted for nothing in the business world except the man who uttered those words honoured them a
After they left the restaurant, Fiona and her family saw Marcus off to his car, waving him goodbye. “I’ll see you in a few days Fiona. The invite to the auction will be sent to your office tomorrow,” Marcus said to Fiona as his car drove off. “Such a nice young man,” Sophia blushed in the direct
“You should have called me instead, the ratio of using the herbs and the process of making the medicine out of them are quite delicate,” Ryker replied. “Doctor Kent was among the people who helped us source for the herbs using his connections. When he offered to make the pills, we couldn’t refuse b
Samantha looked truly confused. She glances from Ryker to Doctor Kent and then to Cage before looking at Kent again. “If the aconite won’t work, do you know of any other remedy?” Samantha asked in a sullen tone, her eyes full of sadness. “Like I said, my colleagues are on the way, but even then, I
Samantha rushed to the floor and grabbed her grandfather’s shaking body, pain ripping through her heart, agony tearing through her as a gut wrenching sob escaped her. “Grandpa, Grandpa…no….” She bawled, looking up to Ryker as Kelvin’s body became completely motionless, stiff in her arms. “I trusted you….I trusted you,” Samantha said to Ryker in regret. She thought he would be able to heal her grandfather. Kelvin spoke so highly of him and Ryker sounded very convincing and confident. What choice did she have? Now her grandfather is dead. What will become of their family? There is still so much she is yet to learn. Kent shook his head in pity, seeing the always graceful and poise Samantha a mess of tears, clutching her grandfather’s head against her chest, crying her eyes out. She did not even mind the blood that was smearing all over her clothes. “I tried to warn you Samantha, now look what has happened. You should arrest this fraud and make him pay for his crime. In his arrog
As Ryker ended his statement, Kelvin turned his cold gaze on Kent and the doctor wanted to melt into the ground from the fierce look he was getting from the Grey Patriarch. Kelvin looked away from him, not saying a word but his message was heard loud and clear in his silence. “I am indeed grateful that you came to my rescue,” Kelvin said, bowing slightly to Ryker. “Please tell me what I can do to pay you back.” “You already paid me back by reacting to the medicine as I expected. It is enough for me that you are well but remember to get the rhit viper, this solution is still only temporary,” Ryker replied, walking closer to Kelvin and holding him up. “I will prepare some other herbs for you to take for the time being so you can get back to your full strength in no time.” Kelvin’s heart flushed with even more gratitude. “Please if you ever need anything from me, anything at all just let me know, all that I have is yours,” Kelvin replied humbly. Kent squinted at Ryker and his hear
Samantha squinted at Kent, thinking he definitely couldn’t perform. Even Cage was quite taken back, didn’t doctor Kent swear that Ryker was a fraud? Why would he be asking him for a cure? The only answer would be that Kent was truly unable to perform. “Don’t be a fool Kent, if you want to ask for help, ask for help properly, there is no shame in being a one minute man, not when the cure is within your reach,” Kelvin reprimanded him. “You should listen to the old man’s advice,” Ryker smirked at him. “Do you want to know how I can cure your patients or are you the one that needs the cure?” Samantha looked at Ryker as he spoke with such authority. He was indeed a savant in the healing arts, her gaze unconsciously dipped to the front of his pants and she blushed, looking away quickly as a dirty thought crossed her mind. Ryker definitely looked like a man who could go long hours in bed. Kent gulped, looking with pitiful eyes at each and everyone present. It was a really shameful th
Ryker looked ahead as Samantha spoke and a small smile splayed his lips but it was gone as fast as it came. Samantha was indeed charming now that she had loosened up and was more cordial with him. She was beautiful, had brains and seemed to have a sense of humour too which Ryker found mildly attrac
