The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Invitation
“I thought you no longer worked here,” Victoria remarked as she bridged the distance, standing at arm's length from William.William nodded. “That is indeed correct.”“So do I take it that you were stalking me?” Victoria teased with William replying.“Not at all. I came to see a patient before the whole debacle with your sister.”“Ah.” Victoria realized she had misread things causing her to ask. “A family member?”“Something like that,” William replied.The person in question was, in fact, an old lady who had taken him in after he'd left the mountain where the Old Sage resided to enter the big city.She had taken care of him like a family member and now that she was close to the end of her life, William decided to visit her.In truth, he could extend her lifespan but she didn't want that, instead desiring to pass away peacefully.“I see,” Victoria muttered, though still quite skeptical over his answer because she had done some more digging into his past only to turn up with nothing.A
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The choice is yours
“Ah, it seems I made a mistake, Miss Smith.” Scar said as he took a step forward.Victoria raised a brow. “What mistake?”“This invitation is not a request. You will be coming with me. But it is up to you if you will follow me the easy way or the hard way. Ultimately, the choice is yours.”“Are you trying to go against the Smith family?” Victoria questioned, attempting to use her family as a shield.Scar smirked as he replied. “I wouldn't dare.”“Then…”“But it doesn't change the fact that you will be coming with me. Now then, how would you like to come with us?... Free or bound?... Choose quickly, I have a short temper.”Victoria paused as she realized that whatever was happening was a conspiracy.The fact that Scar wasn't wary of her identity meant two things; the person backing him was either on par with her or was someone from her family.She was well aware that not everyone in her family was happy with her identity as heiress of the Smith family.Regardless, stopping her from mak

“Watch out!” Victoria exclaimed only for an agonized scream to be heard the next moment.She froze in her tracks, her eyes widening in disbelief as she realized that the person who screamed wasn't William but was instead the thug with the steel pipe.Clutching his stomach while staggering backward, the thug stared at William with a shocked expression on his face before he fell to the ground, never to move again.Meanwhile, his weapon, the steel pipe, was now in William's hand.Scar and his men, who were laughing, immediately went silent as their gaze alternated between their fallen comrade and William, who remained standing.“Anyone else?” William inquired in a provocative tone.Scar glared at him as he gave the order. “Take that bastard down!”His subordinates immediately rushed William, intending to make him pay for whatever he'd done to one of their own but unfortunately, they overestimated their capabilities.They didn't even get the chance to land a single successful hit as Willi
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates At the welfare center
Faced with such a charming and passionate Victoria, he found himself interested in learning more about her Meanwhile, Victoria found herself torn between her desire to know William more and her position in the Smith family.She had a feeling if she indulged further in the former, she might find herself falling for him which could cause problems in the future.However, for some reason, she felt that perhaps, it wasn't a bad idea to indulge in it… maybe just a little bit.***Roughly an hour later, they arrived at the welfare home with the director, Mr. Kingsley, personally coming out to greet them.He was an aged man in his late fifties who had founded the welfare home to take care of children after he had lost his children in a terrible accident.“Mr. Kingsley, hi, it's been a while.” Victoria greeted with Mr. Kingsley responding in kind.“It's an honor for the Smith heiress to grace us with her presence.” Just then, he noticed something causing him to glance behind Victoria only to

The consensus amongst the public was that with her current fame, Celia Rodriguez was destined to be a superstar who would make waves across not just the country but the world.She had everything that was needed to do so and that was why people were bending over backwards to have a relationship with her.The women were jealous and the men were fighting just for a chance to be with her.Meanwhile, Celia didn't pay much attention to the commotion that her presence had caused as she was used to it by now.Why wouldn't they adore her?... She was Celia Rodriguez, the next big thing in the entertainment industry.She felt that whatever she wanted, she could get, and tonight, the highlight of today's event, which was the plot of land that Lucas had promised her, would surely come into her possession. Just then, Lucas got down from the car as well, immediately drawing attention as the attendees began to murmur among themselves.“Isn't that Lucas Vazquez?”“That's him for sure. What is he doin
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Blinded by ambition
Celia glanced towards the person to find that it was Victoria Smith causing her to wonder who Victoria was referring to as her benefactor.There's no way it was William, right?Meanwhile, Victoria quickly arrived next to William and placed an arm around his own, catching everyone off guard, including William.Before now, when Victoria had learned that William was being confronted by his ex-wife, she thought about not getting involved, after all, it could be considered a family matter.But then, recalling how he had saved her daughter when it wasn't his place to do so and how he had saved her from Scar when it also wasn't his place to do so, caused her to feel indebted to him.Hence the reason she decided to support William and to drive the point home that fighting with William was the same as fighting with her, she decided to link arms with him, giving off the impression that he was her date for the night. Naturally, this drew the attention of the guests in attendance as well as the
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The name is James
“Blinded by ambition?” Celia snorted. “Perhaps you are the one that lacks it. Else, what sane man would decide to be a kept man while his wife dominates the world?”William offered no response, not because he didn't have one but because he saw no need to give one.He was a man who had achieved everything and only wished to rest.He had used what he had to place Celia in her current position yet she ignored that, thinking that she was dominating the entertainment industry due to her hard work.Celia sneered thinking that she had struck a nerve in William. “Cat caught your tongue?” “I do hope that you do not fall now that you have gotten so high. It would be a shame.” William calmly replied causing Celia to retort.“You don't have to worry about that because that's never going to happen.”“You sound so sure.” “Because I am,” Celia said before shifting her attention to Victoria. “So you can enjoy your boy toy until you get tired of him, which you will, mind you, after which, just like

“Of course!” James exclaimed arrogantly before turning to Victoria. “How about you accompany me for the rest of the night, young miss?... I believe we have more in common than you can imagine.”Not missing the insult he snuck into his words, William remarked. “I have been courteous to you so far, Mr. Wilson; I ask that you do the same.”“Unfortunately, I can't. You see, unlike every other person in this room, I am a man of substance who has served as the stock advisor of several companies for years. I could get you kicked out of here if I wanted with a simple snap of my hands so you'd best keep shut.”By now, their exchange had already drawn the attention of guests as they watched the showdown, enthralled by the drama unfolding.Victoria seemed amused as she inquired. “Do you know who William is?”“I do but I have no idea why he is regarded as such a big deal. A doctor is still a doctor, no matter how good he is. How much could he possibly have?”Victoria ignored him as she turned to

Get out!
The arrogant woman behind Stefan quickly added. “Make it two!” “Of course. Two weeks.” “And if I turn out to be correct?” “I'll apologize.” “Nah, let's make it more interesting. If I turn out to be correct, you'll not only have to compensate me for the time wasted and the unnecessary insults with a free dress, and yes, the dress has to be your most expensive.” Stefan could barely contain his surprise at William's audacity. “Also, you'll have to make a public apology using the announcement speakers.” “You…” “I have no reason to accept your ridiculous challenge, Mr. Stefan. I only made an observation so if you wish so badly to prove that I'm wrong. You'll have to agree.” Stefan gritted his teeth as he pondered on his next response. What if William was telling the truth?... Doing what he asked would be incredibly humiliating. But he was familiar with Mrs. Grimshaw and knew that the family she was married into was an old money family with vast connections. If he wished to ge
A ridiculous challenge
Taken aback by Victoria's words, the worker had no choice but to take a step back though she still looked at Victoria with a bit of contempt.“Better.” Then, Victoria walked in with William following closely behind.As the duo moved to shop, the worker rushed to inform her boss of two potential delinquents in the store.Meanwhile, William and Victoria engrossed themselves in shopping only for two middle-aged women to pause a few meters away.“What are those two paupers doing in a place like this?”“I have no idea. They look absolutely classless, I feel like I shouldn't even be looking at them.”“Then don't,” William remarked, barely able to keep pretending that he couldn't hear them.The larger of the two women snorted. “People without class like you shouldn't be in such a place. You won't even be able to afford a piece of underwear talk more of a full set of clothes.”“You are quick to judge aren't you?”“I am merely stating the obvious.” The woman insisted. “I mean, if you had class

Victoria went wide-eyed in an instant. “You somehow managed to get involved with the Khan family?... You are just full of surprises.”William didn't even know how to start explaining himself so he just ended up deciding to stay silent.Victoria chuckled. “Well then, I'm guessing you don't have a date.”“Unfortunately, I don't,” William admitted with Victoria quickly following up.“So why don't I be your date?”“You must be busy, right?”“Not at all. It's an opportunity for me to establish a relationship with the Khan family. In truth, I have been planning on doing that ever since I was made heiress of the Smith Consortium.”“You just made that up.” William accused with Victoria feigning taking offense.“How could you?”Shaking his head, William remarked. “Fine then.”“Yay.” Victoria clapped her hands. “Before we head there, we definitely have to go shopping.”“I've got some nice clothes though…” William said only for Victoria to place a finger on his lips.“You can never have too many
Back to life
The medics tried to get the people who had gathered around to clear up so they could leave with Lionel.Unfortunately, judging from how Lionel appeared, the chances of him surviving until they got to the hospital were slim.Regardless, the medics had no other choice as they couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong with Lionel.Though it appeared to be a heart attack, they found themselves unable to get it to calm down, causing Lionel a great deal of pain in the process.Just then, William stepped up and remarked. “You guys won't be able to get to the hospital in time.”“Thank you for telling us what we already know, genius.” One of the medics lashed out in clear annoyance. “Got any other bright ideas you'd like to share with us?... If not, then get the hell out of the way.”“I can save him. My name is William Belmont, and I'm a doctor.”“Do you think we are fools?... Why haven't we heard of you before today?”“He's also known as the LifeGiver!” Victoria chipped in from the side caus
He is no quack
Ali was stunned as he realized that Zayn was actually well again just like William had said.Did that mean his claim of the building being gifted to him was true as well?Soon, the duo arrived and Ali tried to step forward as he greeted them. "This junior pays respects to the patriarch."Zayn didn't even bother with him as he glanced at William, a smile on his lips.“Mister Belmont, I heard my daughter gave you a present without informing me. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not immediately doing that when you saved me from certain death.”At the side, Ali trembled somewhat at the unexpected news that William was actually the one who healed his grandfather."Then it's good I met you here today.""I didn't think your family had a knack for taking back what they had already given away," William said, causing Zayn's expression to turn sour as he glanced at Ali."It would seem I have allowed your parents to indulge you for far too long, Ali.""No, Grandpa, it's nothing like that." "S
An offering
“I guess that's known all around, huh?” William said as he rubbed the top of his lip. Zara chuckled. “I had no idea you were such a capable man.”“Well, I pride myself on being a man of many talents.”Pursing her lips, Zara asked. “Why did you save my grandfather?”“I also already told you that.”“I know but it doesn't make sense that you don't want anything at all,” Zara said, feeling slightly suspicious.“Well, I don't,” William remarked. “And that won't be changing. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get some rest.”“Wait.”“Hmm?”“Thank you.”“For?”“Saving my grandfather.”William nodded. “You're welcome.”“One more thing.”“Tell me.”Zara quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a key card.“Take this.”“What is that?”“Keys to a beach house. It's yours now.”“I don't want it,” William said dismissively before turning to leave.“Please.”William paused in his tracks.“Take it as an offering.”“Offering?” William glanced back at Zara with a raised brow.“Yes, an of
A Khan conspiracy
“This is impossible, father, how did this happen?” Omar, Zara’s father remarked.Zayn snorted. “I thought you for so many years yet when I needed your expertise the most, you went ahead to give a rubbish diagnosis. All it took this man to save me was just one look. I should beat you for disappointing me.”“Father, I don't understand. You were clearly suffering from dementia.”“Best stop talking rubbish otherwise, don't blame me for beating you!” Zayn warned.Omar said nothing, though he didn't hesitate to glare at William, with the latter meeting his gaze calmly.“Dad, come with me, we have to head to the hospital to run some tests.”“Bah, I told you that focusing too much on modern mediums is going to make you small-minded, yet you still don't want to listen. Look here, this young man has cured me so there's no reason to carry out any other checks ups. Just take me home.”“But dad…”“I said take me home already. I need to rest, and yes, this young man is coming with us,” Zayn said, l
Zayn Khan
“Grandpa.” Zara breathed out in shock as she stared at her now-breathing grandfather.Zayn Khan, Zara’s grandfather, gasped for air while he kept his gaze on William.It was clear that unlike before, he was aware of his surroundings.“Grandpa,” Zara called out again, snapping him out of his momentary trance.Zayn reached out and stroked Zara's hair. “Zara, my dear granddaughter, it's truly you.”“Grandpa,” Zara muttered, her eyes wet once again but not out of sadness but instead of joy.She instinctively leaped into Zayn's arms, embracing him tightly while letting out the joy in her heart.The guards exchanged looks with one another, unsure of what to make of the current situation as they didn't expect such an outcome.Satisfied that his work was done, William made to leave only for Zayn to call out to him.“Young man!”William paused, glancing back at Zayn, who was scrutinizing him with clear eyes.“You saved me.”“I was only doing my job.” William calmly replied.“But it doesn't cha
Dream Beetle
As they watched William leave, the two guards began to mock him. “Hmmph, he really thought that the young miss would fall for his lies.”“That's what he gets for thinking he can deceive us with his petty acts.”Just then, Zara spoke up, addressing the departing William. “Wait!”William paused and then, glanced back at Zara while the guards panicked.“Young Miss, don't tell me…”“Hush.” Zara scolded before shifting her attention back to the waiting William.“Can my grandfather truly be saved?” It was clear that she was trying to believe that William could truly save her grandfather.William nodded. “He can. Though the process is delicate, I am one hundred percent certain that I can pull it off.”Biting down on her lower lip, Zara pondered for a while before she finally replied. “Then please, help me save my grandfather.”“No, young Miss, you mustn't believe the words of a scammer!” The first guard cried out with the other remarking.“He clearly doesn't know what he is saying. He migh
