Hello Dear readers, To everyone who has been waiting for new chapters of RAH, I am expressing my sincere apologies. School came upon me unexpectedly during this period and I have been struggling to find a balanced schedule to write. To that end, new chapters will be on an erratic schedule but I am committed to updating RAH when I have the time and as frequently as I can. I ask for patience and prayers during this period and please keep reading and supporting RAH. Your love and support of this book really means a lot to me. Thank you!
Anna regretted the words she said in that moment so much, that she wanted the ground to open and swallow her up. It could have been her self-preservation instincts kicking in or her disbelief over what she just witnessed but adamantly, she declared,“I do not believe Wintore will let people like you through their gates. If Wintore does not so much as open their gates for you, you will kowtow and bark like a dog before me, right in front of their gates! Are you willing to take up the bet?”It was one thing to embarrass yourself in any random location in the city but it was another thing to embarrass yourself in front of Wintore hospital. Due to the very prestige of the hospital, you could be charged for nuisance for that very act which attracted a penalty of not less than five million USD in compensation for ordinary people.And this amount in compensation was already very generous, considering that ordinary people could not easily bring out millions on a normal day, not to talk of comp
Wintore Hospital was as imposing as a Presidential residence would be, even more imposing than one. There was a large glass gate-bridge right outside the road leading up to the Wintore hospital estate with these characters boldly written on it,“WINTORE HOSPITAL: HEALTH IS THE GREATEST WEALTH. WE HELP YOU PRESERVE YOUR WEALTH AND SMILE :)”After the large gate-bridge, the road leading up to the hospital felt like the road leading to a completely new country. It had its own security, a serene vibe, the kind that forebodes a simmering dangerous enigma residing within those parts, yet it had an easy vibe to it. Despite the area being off-limits, people were allowed to pass freely, provided they complied with the unique rules of the area. As the cars zoomed through the roads of the hospital, Anna was dumbfounded by the sight she witnessed.While Celestine wouldn’t so much as let ordinary people smell the street leading up to Celestine Hospital, Wintore Hospital, despite its lofty status,
Anna fervently screamed, cried and begged for mercy. The crowd was whispering in barely hushed tones and they were pointing at Anna,“Isn’t this the haughty and beautiful heiress of Celestine Conglomerate?”“She’s the one! When I first saw her, I thought she was an elite guest. What scene is this playing out before us?”“Who is the man with the covered face? Did she offend someone powerful?”“We just have to watch and find out what is happening.”Alessandro bent down slightly towards her, his face was still hidden by his hat. He whispered lightly,“Allowing you to fulfil your words is already me being extremely merciful, which is at odds with my reputation. If you do not want to know what ‘rock bottom’ feels like, I suggest you keep to your declaration, after all, you lost the bet.”His words sent a chill down Anna’s spine and she paused her wailing momentarily. Suddenly an idea sprang into her mind and she bolted for the car Sebastian was still in. Before she could reach out and open
Despite being nighttime, the city was abuzz with discussions, ridicule and laughter. Various versions of what transpired at Wintore Hospital spread like wildfire across the city and eventually the entire Country A in one night!The broadcast of the scene from Wintore hospital, starting from when Anna was pleading to Alessandro to spare her to when Leonard scurried away spread across social media and was reposted over and over. Memes were made with Anna’s unsightly crawling and Leonard’s scurrying away; wild exaggerations were added to the memes and there were the butt of every joke. Headlines began to flow one after the other:“BREAKING NEWS: Five Conglomerates just cancelled their decade-long partnership with Celestine Conglomerate. The various representatives of the companies say they are willing to pay the exorbitant severance f*e than have Celestine Conglomerate as a business partner!”“JUST IN: From Nation’s Husband to Demon Reaper. Leonard who once caused millions of hearts to m
At Leonard’s apartment, in a luxurious district of Country A, Leonard was on a call, his tone was angry and dangerous.“I suffered great humiliation today, thanks to Sebastian and Anna. Sebastian must not be allowed to continue studying at Evertrise. He must never amount to anything! So, find a way to make the project presentation tomorrow! I don’t care what you do, make it happen!” And he cut the call.Leonard looked at the completed project work that was in his room. Everything was there, the blueprint, the simulation and the physical model, it was all done to perfection. The only thing of concern was, it was a stolen idea from Sebastian. He was irritated at how excellent the concept Sebastian came up with was, it was almost like a sneer in his face as he stared at it.Leonard had put one of his minions to tail Sebastian and get his idea for Lecturer Grizzalo’s project, as well as pictures of the rough sketches. The minion did a perfect job in fulfilling the task because what was bef
Sebastian turned to Cecile who was on her phone and said, “Thank you for being here till this time and sorry for keeping you for long only for me to focus on another project.”“You sound like it was you who made me stay back; I chose to stay back to work on the project of my own free will Seb. The apology is unnecessary, don’t make the atmosphere uncomfortable for everyone. Gavriel is tense enough as it is.” She raised a brow at him and then continued what she was doing.Sebastian was at a loss for words. He scratched his head awkwardly and said,“There’s still a lot remaining for the project to be complete, I’ll feel guilty if you’re doing it alone. How about we continue working on it next tomorrow? The project is not due for another four to five days at least.”“She chuckled lightly, “Relax Seb. Don’t worry, I don’t plan to do everything by myself tonight. That’s a lot of work to complete in one night. I just need the distraction of working on something for a bit so I’m staying back
Sebastian ran like his life depended on it to the exam hall and actually, his life did depend on it. He had been fighting all night long. Part of his side test for the Guerrieri trials was to defeat an underground den and this was no simple underground den. They used acids actively in their operations and his job was to subdue them or completely wipe them out.He had fought into the morning – the fight took so long because he had other plans in mind, outside the task given to him by the Guerriero family. He was not a mere contestant; he had a secret agenda, and as an abandoned son, he only had himself to rely on to get revenge and to make a living.When he checked his time, it was 6 am and he had his first semester test that morning by 8 am.Attendance was the crucial factor here and not necessarily the grade as it would determine if you could write the finals for that semester.He stepped onto the road and as far as he could see, there were no vehicles, not even a bicycle in sight. Th
Leonard looked at the rod on the ground, his anger intensified, and he was literally red now. He lunged for Sebastian, punching and kicking but Sebastian blocked or dodged most of it. Leonard whistled, calling for backup. Men emerged from the corner, some were barehanded and some had sticks in hand. There were around ten men who appeared. “Woah woah bro, there’s no need to go this far. You damaged a car, it’s only right you pay for it, there’s no need to get violent over such a simple matter” Sebastian raised his hand in defeat Leonard laughed darkly. “Your first mistake was telling me what to do, then added to your crimes by trying to report me and you dodged my blows just now! If I do not make you crippled today, my name is not Leonard”. Sebastian tried to run but more men appeared from behind him, encircling him. There was no getting out of this without fighting his way through. His plan was to fight through an opening and then make a run for it – at this moment he felt a pr
