2024-11-14 11:21:34Alistair looked at Jessica, his eyebrows furrowed.
“Why did you stop me from going after this girl?” He asked, irritated and looked at the door with disdain. “War Goddess… Please, she is nothing more than a child in terms of power, to me!”
Jessica tossed her dark blonde hair back her shoulders and sighed deeply, before turning her sky-blue eyes to Alistair.
“Ally, you know what the master said: no fighting, and certainly no killing, inside the clinic,” she pouted and kept her hand on Alistair’s chest, drawing now circles with her fingers. “You’ve been so stressed by that gal… I can help you get that ungrateful one off of your mind.”
“Thanks, but I’m fine,” Alistair gently took Jessica’s hand and pulled her away from him before sitting back down on his chair. He closed his eyes and sighed, thinking what a relief it had been not to have to marry that woman. She was insufferable!
“Ah!” Jessica said, before pulling a letter out of her bra and smiling at Alistair. “I almost forgot, Ally. It’s from Master Alberich.”
She handed the envelope to Ally, who glanced at the blonde before taking the letter from her hand.
“He said if anyone came to cancel the wedding, I should give you this letter,” Jessica said, casting a curious glance at the paper package. “Come on, read it!”
Alistair let out a laugh and opened the envelope, before pulling out a letter, and as he read it, the expression on his face grew darker.
“What’s up, Ally?” Lauren asked and he pressed his lips together, indicating it wasn’t something good. “Is it really bad?”
“It’s another marriage contract!” Alistair roared and put his head in his hands. “What’s with these people, making marriage contracts left and right? And the worst part is that they always put me in the middle of it!”
The four beauties covered their mouths with their hands and giggled.
“Oh, Ally, but you’re everything a girl could want,” Josephine smiled at Alistair, wanting to sit on his lap, but controlled herself. “Only a fool wouldn’t see your worth. Inside and out!”
They giggled again and Alistair shook his head. Those four were too much! He stood up.
“I have to go to Lothan City and marry the Anderson girl, whoever she is.”
“I hope she’s at least pretty,” Josephine said.
“And less arrogant than Ally’s last fiancé,” Harriet said, and the other three nodded. “I still can’t believe she had the nerve to come all the way here with all that pomp!”
“That’s right! But she was the one who lost out, because our Ally here is the perfect man! Handsome, charming, intelligent and very capable!” Jessica nodded and looked at the others, who soon joined her in leading Alistair out of the doctor’s office. “You have to get ready to go, Ally! It’s the Master’s orders!”
Alistair expected the girls to try to dissuade him, but in the end, Jessica was right: it was the master's order and Alistair couldn't go against it.
The girls helped Alistair pack his bags, and he almost had to throw them out when they tried to open the second drawer of his dresser, which was where his underwear was kept.
“You’re irresistible, Ally… and we just want to help you.” Harriet said, glancing mischievously at Alistair. They were tempting, but he knew the limits.
After saying goodbye to the beauties, Alistair took a taxi and went to the airport. The flighty took about four hours.
'They didn't even serve a single peanut. What stingy hands they are!' Alistair complained internally, feeling his stomach growl with hunger. He regretted not having eaten better when he was still at home. 'But the girls rushed me so much, I ended up forgetting all about it!'
As soon as he stepped off the aircraft, a man approached Alistair and bowed formally.
Alistair didn't recognize the man and stopped walking, holding his backpack tightly. He noticed that the people around him seemed interested in knowing what was going on.
“Mr. Woods?” the man asked, to which Alistair nodded, saying nothing. “I’m Daniel Smith, it’s so nice to see you!”
Alistair raised an eyebrow, wondering if that name was supposed to mean anything to him, when he heard some murmuring around them.
“Yes, it’s him: Daniel Smith! He’s the richest man in Lothan City!”
That made Alistair look back at the dark-haired man with round features in front of him. Upon closer inspection, he finally recognized who that person was!

The Divine Healer and His Many Identities Chapter 03
Two years earlier, a man had appeared at the clinic's door, desperate for help. His body was covered in painful sores, and after countless visits to different doctors, no one had been able to diagnose his condition. Word had reached him about the Divine Healer, so Daniel sought out the mysterious man.However, the old healer wasn't there that day. Instead, it was Alistair—a young apprentice with striking green eyes and a mess of blond hair—who treated Daniel. Back then, Alistair was just learning, but now, with Master Alberich retired, he had taken over as the Divine Healer himself."Alistair Woods, I can't express how grateful I am!" Daniel said, a broad smile lighting up his face. "Look at me—my face is nothing like the last time you saw me, right? Thanks to you, I feel healthier than I've ever been!"Daniel opened a worn leather bag he had brought with him and took out two wine bottles, each bearing an ornate, special red seal."These wines are something special, Mr. Woods," Daniel

Adam was furious. He owed so much to Kingsley Woods, a man of good heart and principle. And from what he could tell, Alistair was no different. So how could Cathy act as if the boy was no great thing? He was the best!“Now, what does that have to do with anything? Huh? Ally is marrying Lisa and that’s what’s important!” Adam exhaled, trying to control himself. He looked at Lisa. “What are you waiting for, girl? You’re going with Ally to register your wedding now!” Lisa didn't move and looked at Alistair with an expression that, if it could kill, the blond would be lying on the floor, lifeless. Although Lisa didn't like the idea of having to marry a man who wasn't the one she had chosen for herself, besides, as her mother put it, being a poor village boy, she wouldn't go against her father, after all, she wouldn't be able to run away from marriage for long. She walked past Alistair without even looking at him again, almost bumping into the blonde's shoulder. “Hurry up, what are you

Alistair looked around and whistled. He had no idea Jessica was rich enough to buy a villa in that area. Walking to the garage, he inspected the cars and laughed. The woman had at least ten cars there, each one more valuable than the last, except for one that had been left out. Before Alistair could think about it any further, his phone rang. Looking at the screen, he saw that it was Adam and answered the call. “Ally? Son, I… I’m sorry! Lisa can have a terrible temper sometimes!” Adam began to speak and Alistair just looked down wearily. “I was completely embarrassed when I saw her arrive alone. The driver told me she had left you on the street, all by yourself right after getting married to you!.” “It's ok, Mr. Anderson…” “No, it’s not okay!” Adam sighed. “Why don’t you come eat with us, huh? Today is your first day as a married couple, so let’s celebrate, yeah?” Alistair wanted to say that there was no reason to celebrate, only to mourn. However, he remembered that these were t

Cathy and Adam looked at each other and the woman smiled nervously, fidgeting at the rem of her clothes. “Morris, you must be mistaken…,” she said, shaking her head from side to side. Morris stood up from the table, fists clenched after hearing the words spoken by Cathy, then turning to her. “What do you mean by that? Do you think I, the greatest collector of fine wines in this city, wouldn’t know a good wine from a bad one?” he asked, then brought his hand to his chest with a thud. “I’m Richard Morris!” Cathy looked at her husband for help, but he did nothing. She then turned to her daughter, who had her mouth open, trying to think. “It’s just…” Cathy licked her lips and swallowed hard, before her face turned red as she looked at Alistair, accusingly. “That wine must have come from his now-defunct family! Because, please… how would a poor boy like that be able to afford such expensive wine? And two bottles at that!” Cathy sneered, crossing her arms over her chest and looking di

No one knew that before Alistair became a doctor, his master trained him in martial arts and combat techniques, even sending him to war for two years. Alistair, only eighteen years old at the time, was already recognized as an excellent fighter. One of his specialties? Swords and daggers! In a year in the field, Alistair became known as the “King of Mercenaries”, however, there in that city of Lothan, the people around thought that the blond was just bragging without really knowing how to do anything. 'He must be scared to death!' Lisa thought and smiled with her lips closed. Alistair wasn't the kind of man who let himself be influenced by other people, but he had never been so disrespected in his entire life as he had been in the last forty-eight hours. So, with his hands behind his back and a calm smile, he turned to Edward, who was watching him with his brown eyes. “Very well. I accept the invitation to a game.” Marie looked at Alistair with interest. 'Lisa hadn't mentioned t

Alistair let out a cold laugh and was ready to give a fitting retort, but a commotion at the door interrupted him. Turning his head, he saw Daniel Smith, the man who had given him the wine, standing there and next to another man with a fierce expression on his face. The people around let out gasps of surprise and Alistair looked around for a second before his eyes focused again on the men near the door. “Lorenzo 'Wolf' Lupo himself!” One person exclaimed and Alistair raised his eyebrows. “I just can’t believe it! OMG, this must be my lucky day!”The man was known for owning most of the businesses not only in Lothan City, but in other cities in the surrounding area. His power reached international territories and, because of this, he was greatly respected, but more than that, he was feared. Alistair knew that this man's business was not limited to what the media reported. Lorenzo Lupo, known in the media as the Shadow Wolf, was the head of one of the largest mafia organizations in t

Edward couldn't believe he had been openly ignored in front of those people! He looked around, retracting his hand and swallowing hard. However, no one really had their eyes on him, but rather on Daniel. Noticing the richest man in town walking toward him, Alistair frowned and raised his hand discreetly, indicating to the man that he did not wish to be recognized. If there was one thing Alistair valued, it was discretion. Daniel noticed Alistair's movement and, even though he didn't want to stop greeting him, he would never contradict Alistair Woods. So he stopped walking and sighed, then turned to Lisa, who was not far from him and smiled at the woman. “Miss Anderson, is that it?” He asked and Lisa smiled widely before reaching out and shaking Daniel’s hand. “Mr. Smith! Yes, I am the only daughter of the Anderson family. And I am so excited and honored to finally be able to speak to you in person!” She placed a hand on her chest. “I admire you so much!” Upon hearing Lisa's last

Alistair, finally out of the Club, took a deep breath. He looked around and frowned, covering his face with his hand. The day was a bit sunny and he definitely wasn't interested in frying in that heat. Taking the key out of his pants pocket, Alistair unlocked the vehicle's door and got in, driving away from that place. “Lisa’s invitation wasn’t an act of kindness or trying to be friendly to me, as a wife or even a friend,” he said aloud, alone. With one arm resting on the car window, he raised his hand to his forehead, as if in deep thought. “She asked me out there to try to humiliate me.” He let out a mocking laugh, shaking his head from side to side. The traffic light turned green and he accelerated the car. “How ridiculous! To think that Edward Hunter had any chance against me!” Alistair wasn’t the type of person to brag about his abilities, but sometimes it was necessary to put people in their place. And that day it was Edward Hunter’s turn. He parked his car in the garage of

Lisa couldn't believe what she had just heard and, without thinking twice, her hand collided with the manager's face, the noise echoing through the room. Her finger marks were there, red and clearly visible.Paul Greeny's jaw moved from side to side, as if he were clenching his teeth. He slowly turned his face to look at Lisa who, even knowing that her attitude had been thoughtless, especially when she wanted to solve a problem, didn't lower her chin. She still had some honor and wouldn't tarnish herself like that because of money!"You slut!" Paul shouted and advanced in Lisa's direction, who quickly left the room, heading for the hallway."Help!" she begged.Lorenzo, who was heading to his own office, heard the screams and headed towards the source of the noise. When he got there, he came across a very angry Paul, ready to hit a woman."What's going on here?" he asked, without much emotion in his voice.Lisa, seeing the company boss there, ran to him.“Mr. Lupo!” she began and ran he

“How dare you? I’ve been working hard for this company and because of a mistake —which wasn’t even a real mistake, after all, I’m not obliged to let anyone take advantage of me— I’m going to be removed from my position?”Lisa was fuming with anger. She couldn’t believe her uncle’s nerve! Rachel was just arrogant and liked to pretend she was working, but the one who really worked hard to make things happen was her, Lisa!“I’ll get the payment, okay? This problem will be solved!” Lisa said through gritted teeth. Nigel just snorted coldly, with his arms crossed, looking at Lisa as if she was insignificant.“I doubt it, but okay: if you get the payment, niece, I won’t talk about removing you from the CEO position,” he said with a slight smile on his lips, making his disbelief in Lisa’s abilities clear.As the argument continued, Alistair wasn’t the least bit interested in continuing there.

“I’m not lying!” He then looked at Lisa. “Wife, why don’t you come clean about what happened last night?” Lisa bit her lip. She couldn’t remember a thing from the night before. However, she doubted Alistair would have saved her. Not only was he useless, but he was probably mad at her for tricking him into going to the Fencing Club. She completely ignored the fact that he had beaten Edward without batting an eyelid. “I-I don’t remember,” was what she replied, and Alistair threw his hands up and ran one of them through his hair. He then looked at Marie. “Very well, you were there. Why don’t you tell the truth?” Alistair looked more confidently at everyone around him, especially Edward. However, this one kept a smile on his lips and Alistair narrowed his eyes. Marie stood up and Cathy approached the girl. “Come on, honey, tell the truth. Don’t be afraid,” The girl swallowed hard and looked at Lisa and then at Edward. Her eyes fell to the floor and Alistair's bad feeling was proven

“No…!” Lisa feebly tried to keep distance between herself and a bald, chubby man who had her around the waist. The man's smile faded when he heard the door open with a bang. Before he could speak, Alistair had already let out a loud roar and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, releasing the man's hands from Lisa's waist and landing a good punch on the abuser. “What the hell is this?” The man asked, holding his face and, seeing blood on his own fingers, he pointed at Alistair. “Who the hell do you think you are, hitting me like that?” Marie was already inside the room and let out a little scream, then ran to Lisa. “Lisa!” she tried to hold her friend, who had fallen onto the couch. “Babe, get up!” “Wait for me outside,” Alistair said with a cold voice and Marie nodded, putting Lisa’s arm around her neck and getting out of there. As soon as the door closed, the fat man tried to hit Alistair, who dodged and grabbed him by the back of the neck. “Do you think getting a woman drun
