The seven elders of the Warden Clan seemed to have been closely observing Victor, waiting for the precise moment he adorned the attire they had provided. As soon as he completed the dressing ritual, they promptly emerged to greet him.Victor, with a light-hearted chuckle, quipped, "Can I at least catch my breath? Or are you all determined to suffocate me right here?"The atmosphere was filled with joy as everyone wore a cheerful expression, except for the second elder, whose countenance remained cold and unyielding. Victor, attempting to lighten the mood, commented, "Second elder, shouldn't you embrace the festivity? It's not every day we get to celebrate like this. I assume celebrations are not a frequent occurrence in this community." Despite Victor's attempt to engage her in conversation, his words fell silent as soon as the second elder cast a frosty gaze in his direction.The Seventh elder chuckled heartily, "Pay no heed to her stern demeanor; beneath that serious façade, she's
With efficiency marking their departure, Victor, Michael, and Ella wasted no time bidding farewell to the Warden Clan and commencing their drive back to the bustling city. The noticeable absence of Moke from their company hinted at his engagement in other pressing matters.Once the trio ventured beyond the confines of the village, Victor decided it was time to reawaken his phone. The device had been deliberately switched off during their stay to maintain a respectful silence, ensuring that he wasn't disturbed during his stay at the Warden Clan.Putting his phone back on, he glimpsed through the countless calls and messages that was sent by Zion, Martin, Boss Kent and Diana.He paid less attention to the others, and clicked on his wife's message, it read, “Just a checkup message. My head is filled with thoughts of you, I miss you terribly, I hope you're fine where you are. I love you so much darling."Victor, intrigued by his wife's newfound boldness, contemplated calling her back bu
In the span of a mere five days, time seemed to slip away effortlessly, leading to the much-anticipated culmination – the noteworthy day that marked not only the union of Diana and Solomon in matrimony but also held sentimental significance for Victor as it commemorated his anniversary with Diana.As Victor roused from his slumber, a contented smile played upon his lips, accompanied by a leisurely yawn. "Ah, what a delightful day to stir up some mischief," he mused, relishing the prospect of the events about to unfold.***Meanwhile in the Gardner family, each family member exuded a polished appearance, impeccably dressed and ready to make their way to the WestRidge Hotel.For Diana, attending the event was not a matter of choice; rather, it was a response to ominous threats that extended beyond her own life, encompassing the well-being of her daughter and mother. Despite Victor having recently assumed a supportive role, his unexplained absence in the past few days left Diana feeling
Solomon's countenance lit up with joy as he envisioned finally capturing Diana, who had eluded him for so long. His thoughts harbored a disdainful undertone, deeming her a "pretentious bitch" to himself, with intentions of discarding her after exploiting her.Accompanied by his father, Mr. Titus, Solomon confidently strolled toward the entrance, only to be intercepted by Grandpa Gardner and the other members of the Gardner family.Engaging in a courteous exchange, Grandpa Gardner greeted Mr. Titus who reciprocated by a nod. Solomon, wearing a confident smile, greeted Grandpa Gardner and hinted at the impending familial connection, saying, "Good morning, Grandpa Gardner. I will soon become your grandson in law."Curiosity tinged his voice as he asked about Diana's whereabouts. Frandpa Gardner, wearing a sour expression, revealed, "She has entered, but the security guards refused us entry."Solomon's expression shifted to a frown, his frustration evident. "How dare they? Let's go the
As Victor and Diana swayed gracefully on the dance floor, a subtle question escaped Victor's lips, "Are you enjoying this?"Diana responded with an affirming nod, curiosity gleaming in her eyes. Eager to unravel the enchantment of the evening, she was on the brink of inquiring about the magic that had brought them to this moment. Almost telepathically, Victor sensed her unspoken query and delicately pressed a finger against her lips, ushering a hushed silence.In a whispered assurance, he urged, "Just savor the present." A shroud of mystery enveloped the pair, whose opulent celebration had taken place atop the uncharted realms of the WestRidge Hotel, a location previously off-limits to all. The clandestine affair of this enigmatic and affluent couple quickly became the talk of the town, spreading like wildfire through the eager whispers of intrigued onlookers.Upon Diana's arrival at the hotel, there was a notable absence of any photographs capturing her presence; no images of her c
Victor halted in his tracks, compelled to pause by the sudden outburst that reached his ears. Swiftly turning in the direction of the voice, he found a young lady, elegantly attired and seemingly of the same age as him, swiftly making her way toward him. Upon a single glance, Victor discerned that she hailed from a wealthy family.Approaching Victor with an air of urgency, the young lady, without preamble, extended her hand and delivered a resounding slap. Victor, caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events, stood in disbelief. Here he was, intending to offer assistance, only to find himself on the receiving end of an unexpected and stinging rebuke.As he received the sharp slap, his gaze swiftly met Ella and Michael, who had trailed him and now found themselves amidst the onlookers. Despite their instinct to intervene, the look in his eyes silently conveyed a plea for restraint.Within the surrounding crowd, certain individuals who had previously cautioned Victor against a
The emergence of smoke plunged the surroundings into chaos, prompting a frenzied flurry of fearful individuals darting in all directions. Amidst the chaos, Victor fell victim to an assailant, concealed by the smokescreen, unbeknownst to the majority caught up in the commotion.The prone figure sprawled on the ground belonged unmistakably to the youthful doctor. It became apparent that he was not merely a casualty but the perpetrator behind the turmoil.Michael and Ella, swift to react, discerned the imminent threat posed by the young doctor turned assassin. Their rapid response thwarted his assault on Victor, intervening before he could execute his nefarious plan.Victor exhaled deeply, a wave of relief washing over him. Were it not for Michael and Ella's swift response, his life might have come to an abrupt end, leaving him sprawled on the ground instead of the doctor.Yet, the brief respite was shattered as a dagger mercilessly plunged into Victor's back. The assailant struck with
In a private ward in Trust Hospital, Josephine was comfortably seated on a chair, engaged in conversation with her father, who was resting on the bed. He had recently awakened, and their dialogue flowed seamlessly.At that moment, the renowned Doctor Malik entered the room, his presence commanding attention. "Good day, Miss Cooper," he greeted Josephine warmly before turning his attention to her father. "How are you doing now, Mr. Cooper?"The elderly Mr. Cooper, Josephine's father, responded with gratitude, "I'm feeling better now. Thank you for saving me."A humble smile played on Doctor Malik's lips as he replied, "I wish I could take the glory for that."Perplexed, Mr. Cooper inquired, "What do you mean?""It's truly astonishing. Considering your previous diagnosis, you were in a critical condition, yet today, it's as if you've undergone a remarkable transformation. Each of the diagnosed ailments has completely vanished.
