CHAPTER 1
A young man, Benjamin walked out of the State Hospital, with a depression, worries, and fear overwritten on his face. He was looking sad as he walked out of the building.
He came to a halt as he thought about what might have happened to him.
He was tortured with a constant headache for the past two months, but he never thought it was something serious.
All he thought it might be the stress from his hard job — might cause the frequent headache but unfortunate for him, the doctor had told him he was suffering from a Brain Tumor.
Shivers ran down his spine as he got to know the reason behind the headache he felt everyday. He was downcast, and at the same time, helpless.
In the midst of his thought, his phone vibrated from his pocket pulling him out of his reverie. He instantly reached out to it, and saw it was his boss on the line.
Unfailing to exhale, he picked the call, and the loud yells from his boss were heard.
“You Idiot, what is taking you so long to be at work? Why are you not at work, Benjamin ? Do I have to beg you before you get here!?” His boss, Mr Grayson questioned in fury, he was at the top of his voice.
Benjamin Jefferson gave out an exasperated sigh, while he tried to explain his condition to his boss, Grayson.
“I’m sorry! I won't be able to come to work today, I'm having a slight headache, and I'm at the State Hospital at the moment.” Benjamin explained, he knew his boss got furious at very slight issues.
“What?" Mr Grayson yelled, “I didn't approve your leave application, Benjamin , You are absent without my permission, What gave you the right? You dare to see my wrath, right?” He gave out a sneer, then continued. “I am sorry to tell you this, Mr Jefferson , you are fired.” He sputtered out.
Benjamin went wide-eyed instantly, “What? I'm fired?”
He found his boss's words unbelievable. He took in a lot of breath not to shout at his boss. He was only absent for a day, why would he sack him just like that?
“I had been absent only for a day, Mt Grayson! Please, you don't have to sack me. You can deduct my salary in exchange for my absence.” He pleaded.
Mr Grayson berated, “What type of ‘You're fired!’ you don't understand, Benjamin ? It's just three words for effing sake! You are no longer welcome at my company. Have a nice day, Mr Jefferson !” With that, the call went limp.
Listening to his boss's final verdict, his face was expressionless. It's nothing to be worried about when he just receives the most devastating news of his life. Nothing could be worse than the Brain Tumor Medical Certificate.
Without giving it much thought, he went back home. When he opened the door, he saw his wife on the couch, her interest was on the TV, and she laughed at every funny scene.
The room was totally in mess, she had littered the room with snacks, and pillows lying helplessly on the floor.
There was no expression on his face, He was looking more like Zombie as he walked in.
He looked lifeless, and definitely, depression was taking over him. Receiving two disheartening news is much to take in easily.
He slumped to the couch heavily, and sighed exasperatedly.
At the moment, his wife, Gabriella noticed him, and she was surprised to see him home at this time of the day.
Her face was covered with frowns as she demanded, “Why are you back home at this time of the day? You left the house two hours ago and now, you are back. Can you tell me the reason why you are back so early.”
Benjamin didn't have the intention to hide it from her, so he explained. “I lost my job! My boss got me fired!” He blurted out.
Gabriella jumped from the couch, and yelled in rage. "What gibberish are you sputtering out of your mouth, Benjamin ? What do you mean you lost your job? Tell me you're joking, Benjamin !”
Noticing his saddened demeanor, Gabriella blows up her top. “You are nothing but a useless man. How could you lose your job? What do you intend to feed me with? How do you intend to pay the bills? What about my allowance? Who is going to pay for all these?”
Benjamin was about to say something but his wife's riposte blocked his words behind his throat.
“I was blinded with love, if not why would I have married someone as useless as you are. You are such a useless loser, Benjamin . I regret marrying you!”
Benjamin was pained, he could feel the rage in his wife, Gabriella's voice.
He couldn't believe Gabriella could say these harsh words to him. He couldn't believe she was angry because he lost his job. She couldn't pacify him, and all she cared about was the food, the bills, and her necessities.
She even regretted marrying him, and had the gut to call him useless. He was depressed as he stared at her.
His expression had turned stoic, “Gaby, you couldn't even have an iota of pity but all you could do was to shout at me.” He sputtered out unbelievably at his wife.
Gabriella scoffed while staring at Benjamin in disdain. “Pity, you say? A lazy man like you doesn't deserve to be pitied. You are such a loser, you can't take care of me properly.
I know what my friend's husband is doing for them. All of my mates are riding cars, eating proper meals, and wearing expensive clothes but what have you done for me? I don't have a car, I don't eat what I want, and my clothes are almost turned into rags, why is that, Benjamin ? Because you are poor, and the only job that fetches us a little money, you lost it! Aren't you a loser?” Her voice was tinged with scorn and fury as she spat out ingratiatingly.
Benjamin was pained, he never expected Gabriella to talk to him in such a manner. He glared at her with reddened eyes and stood up from the couch.
He strode towards the door to leave but his wife's last words made his heart shriek in pain.
“You useless husband, you should go and never come back. DIE! I don't care about what you do anymore. By the time you are dead, I surely will find a better husband.” She muttered ragingly, and closed the door upon his face in a loud bang.
CHAPTER 2Benjamin was deeply hurt. He never believed his wife, Gabriella would have insulted him in a disparaging manner. Devastated, he left the house and wandered on the street till midnight. He wasn't ready to go back home. His mind went back to the Doctor's words. “The Tumor is still at the early stage. If you need to treat it, you must have at least a million dollars!”Those were the Doctor's final words before he left the hospital. He was happy the tumor could still be treated, but the question is, where will he see that amount of money. A million dollars is quite substantial. There is no one to depend on, his wife, Gabriella doesn't have any work at hand, she only sits at home, and watches movies. Unfortunately, he had lost his job this morning, and his insurance couldn't afford to pay for it. There is no way to gather the money, and that makes him brood more. He was really living a shameful and useless life as Gabriella had claimed earlier. At the midst of his thought
CHAPTER 3Some gangsters had arrived at the spot they were before, and searched around keenly for the lady. Frustration and worries were displayed on their faces as they kept searching the surroundings. Benjamin and the beautiful lady watched them from the giant flower, and made sure not to make any noise or else, they would be in trouble. They were sweating profusely, and gnashing their teeth in anger. They searched everywhere and they couldn't spot the lady. “We couldn't find her, Boss! What should we do?” One of the subordinates muttered. The leader shouted furiously, “Where is she? Where has she ran to? Find the bitch for me, she mustn't escape!” His voice was tinged with authority, fury and rage. “Search every nook and cranny, she wouldn't have ran far! Separate yourself into two!” He pointed at one of his subordinates, and mumbled. “Come with me!”With that, he went towards a different directionAs they left the area, the beautiful lady sighed in relief, and snapped at Ben
CHAPTER 4After that, he gave an order to his Men in Black Suits to punish the gangsters mercilessly. The Gangsters were bundled and dumped into a corner, and carried out the boss's instruction on them. The yells coming from the gangsters are that of pains and discomfort, they were seriously beaten to a pulp. Meanwhile, The Beautiful Lady had put Benjamin 's head on her thigh, and tried walking him up as she cried. None of her screams could wake him up as he was seriously beaten, and blood was gushing out from his delicate parts. He was constantly bleeding. Benjamin had become unconscious and stiff due to the gangsters’ beatings. He saved the beautiful lady by all means, and now, he is suffering from it. As tears scrolled down her cheeks, the lady cried to his uncle for help. “Uncle Jasper, Please Help me! The Young Man is bleeding continuously, take him to the Hospital.” She mumbled, her dress filled the man's blood and she wasn't irritated by it. All she wants right now is
CHAPTER 5Everyone gasped and stared at her in confusion, most especially, the doctor and her Uncle, Jasper. “Young Lady, would you keep your nerve down? The Doctor hasn't even said anything, and now, you bursted into tears!" Angrily, Uncle Jasper refuted, and glanced at the Doctor. “Please Mason, is everything okay with the young man?" He questioned and patiently waited for his response while the lady had also stopped crying, and anticipated the Doctor's words. The Head Doctor chuckled, “Miss Garner , you don't have to worry about the man anymore!" Quickly, she asked. "Is he okay?” The Doctor, Mason responded, "His condition isn't severe. The injuries inflicted on him aren't much, when we checked his injuries, they were just slight bruises.” The lady was confused, she demanded, "But Dr Mason, I saw blood gushing out of his delicate parts, are you really sure about what you're saying? The Man was beaten to that state.” Her voice was tinged with worries and fear. The Doctor's w
CHAPTER 6With so much on his mind, Benjamin ran back home in haste. His mind was overpowered with the thought that his wife had known about the Brian Tumor Medical Certificate. Although he doesn't want his wife to know about his illness, as nature would have it, he left the medical certificate on the table and unfortunately, his wife found it. On the other hand, he was kind of happy. He hoped his wife treated him with care and respect. Her sassy attitude might stop, and she might show affection towards him. At the thought of this, he was excited. “I hope my wife's attitude changes to that of a better one!" He mumbled to himself as he walked faster to his apartment. With the information of the ring that had been revealed to him, the healing power, the martial art skills, and many more. He knew the Healing Power could heal his injuries and disease, so he was not afraid of the Brain Tumor. He had given his hundred percent trust on the healing power, and his Brain Tumor and also,
CHAPTER SEVENMeanwhile, in the Hospital, a lady walked into the ward, and saw an empty space. She was confused and called on his uncle. The person was none other than the Garner 's daughter. Her face was filled with worries, and began to fidget, and glanced at her uncle fearfully. “Uncle Jasper! The Young Man had left! Where did he go?" She asked, her voice was tinged with worries and fear. Uncle Jasper stared at the girl awkwardly, “Why are you worried about the young man? You shouldn't be bothered about him. Give yourself some slack!?”The girl's face was contorted with rage, and snapped angrily at the man in front of him. "What do you mean, Uncle? That Young Man saved my life, and I need to know his whereabouts? I owe him my life.” Jasper retorted instantly, “Shut up, young lady! You don't owe anyone your life! You've reciprocated the kindness, you brought him to the hospital. If not, he might be dead."He continued to say, "Well, if you must know, the young man had left the
CHAPTER EIGHT The onlookers gasped at his actions. They didn't believe a young, skinny man could do that. They could have assumed he has superpowers, but none of them believe in that stuff. “The Young Man is a hero! He saved the little girl. ”“I wished to have his strength and power. Can't you see how he screams, and pulls the car door? It's just unbelievable to me"Benjamin shouted angrily at the woman, “What are you still waiting for? Take your daughter out of the car! You don't want her dead, do you?” She ran towards the car in a hurry, she saw her daughter sleeping. She cried, and brought her out of it. She looked at her daughter with so much happiness. She had lost hope before but the young man brought her joy back to her. She looked at the young man and appreciated him for saving her daughter. “Thank you so much, Mr! You saved my little princess, and I'm really grateful about that. Whatever help you need, please don't hesitate to ask for it!” Benjamin smiled sheepishly
CHAPTER NINEAfter chatting and laughing for a while, they saw an ambulance coming to them. It was called by the beautiful woman. Immediately she saw the ambulance, she held Benjamin 's hands and thanked him for the last time. “I appreciate your efforts you have shown towards me and my daughter. We will forever be grateful to you! Thank you very much." With a heartfelt smile, she mumbled to him. However, Benjamin nodded his head in response, and muttered, “It's nothing, ma'am! I feel glad to have helped you guys!" He could feel the softness of the woman's hands but strangely, he felt something abnormal in the woman's body. The Healing Power had revealed that the woman was drugged.Instantly, he was furious, though he didn't make it visible to the woman. Now, he knew the reason the woman was unable to control the car and the cause of the accident. The Car accident wasn't an accident. It was planned, and schemed. Definitely, someone was trying to kill the woman by drugging her, and
Chapter 11Allison Harris's breathing became labored, out of proportion. Fear consumed her expression. Even with the air conditioning in the workplace, she started to perspire a lot.She now realized that Tyler, her nemesis, had actually orchestrated the whole incident. Without access to her possessions, she would not have been able to cover her daughter's hospital fees."What do you think you're doing?" she snorted scornfully as she cast a sidelong glance at Tyler Harris. “You asked to have my properties, and you have all of them! What else would you like to have?. My daughter shouldn't suffer because of your evil deeds.” "Allison, there's one more thing!" Tyler dismissively waved his hand while grinning smugly. “I desire for your daughter to be beneath the soil! The Harris family does not want a bastard." He gave out a contemptuous smirk.Allison was infuriated by Tyler's disparaging remarks, and she quickly got to her feet and smacked him across the face. Twice on the cheek, not
He gritted his teeth angrily, “Gabby, you are going to regret this!" He mumbled to himself. Waving out of his reverie, suddenly,he saw a car lose control and it rushed towards him. Swiftly, Benjamin avoided it, and watched as the car went ahead to hit a street lamp. He was fuming in rage as he walked towards the car. He shouted furiously, “Don’t you know how to drive? Do you want to kill me? I wou…” He stopped talking when he saw a beautiful woman get out of the car bleeding heavily. She cried and shouted for help, “Somebody help me! Help my daughter, she is stuck in the car. She is dying!" Despite her bleeding, she cried helplessly for assistance. She wants her daughter out of danger. Utterly shocked, Benjamin ran towards the car, and looked out the window. He saw a little girl on the passenger seat, and she was unconscious. The little girl was so beautiful to ignore. He tried pulling the car door but it wasn't opening. It was locked. The Beautiful Woman, upon seeing Benjam

Now, he knew the reason the woman was unable to control the car and the cause of the accident.The Car accident wasn't an accident. It was planned, and schemed. Definitely, someone was trying to kill the woman by drugging her, and faking an accident. By this, the people won't feel suspicious, and could count it as a fatal accident.But the question that kept roaming his mind was; who is trying to kill this beautiful woman? What has she done to deserve that c
“Uncle Jasper! The Young Man had left! Where did he go?" She asked, her voice was tinged with worries and fear.Uncle Jasper stared at the girl awkwardly, “Why are you worried about the young man? You shouldn't be bothered about him. Give yourself some slack!?”The girl's face was contorted with rage, and snapped angrily at the man in front of him. "What do you mean, Uncle?

You've reciprocated the kindness, you brought him to the hospital. If not, he might be dead."He continued to say, "Well, if you must know, the young man had left the hospital to his house, and I think we should move out of here right now!” He snapped angrily at the lady.The lady narrowed his eyes at the man, and exclaimed. “What? Why would he leave the hospital without letting me know? Is that thing more important than me? He should have waited for
The lady narrowed his eyes at the man, and exclaimed. “What? Why would he leave the hospital without letting me know? Is that thing more important than me? He should have waited for me to return!” She wasn't happy at the young man's antics. “I think he is married though! I heard him talking to his wife, and that's the reason he had left the hospital early." He pretended to say, and watched the lady's countenance. However, because of this revelation, the Garner's changed drastically. She was sad, and dejected. Even though she never knew the reason behind her change of demeanor. “I still have to look for him, and appreciate him for saving my life. Those gangster would have raped the hell out of me, if not for him. I really need to look for him.” All of a sudden, She muttered.Jasper was rendered speechless by the sudden outburst, and he tried to object, “He saved you, fine! But that shouldn't make you… .” She raised her hand up in the air, and interrupted, “Uncle, Please! It's my c
The girls glanced at him and mumbled softly, “Sure! He was taken to After appreciating the girls for their kind response, Benjamin ran towards the Goodman Pharmacy, the biggest pharmacy chain in Olimbus County. It was owned by Kilman Goodman, he was a significant figure in the medical business in Olimbus. All of the Pharmaceutical company's sales was so dependent on the Goodman Group that the latter controlled and supported the financial lifeline of the other Pharmaceutical companies. Every one of Goodman Group's pharmacies had a highly skilled in-house doctor. When Benjamin got to the front of the large pharmacy, he could see people gathered around in one place. While talking a quick look at the person in question, he saw a boy covered and soaked with his blood. Benjamin was beyond furious and was about to explode. The arrogance of the man before him was mind boggling. Clearly, everyone and also him knew the already looking dead man might not be able to survive from the catastr
Benjamin found his words impolite, and he sneered angrily, “I'm not coming back to that dirty family. You guys shouldn't count me as one of the Sons of the family, I've disowned you, and it's final!”“What do you say? What did your grandfather do to you? The Old man wants you to come back. Stop being filial, Benjamin !” Liam, his brother flared up angrily at him. He chuckled coldly, “Your Grandfather had killed my parents and you are telling me to come back home, you must be insane!” His voice was tinged with rage, and yelled at the top of his voice. A dead silence fell upon them for some seconds before Liam spoke up, “It was a misunderstanding, Benjamin ! He didn't do it! The Old man is really worry-sick about you!” This time round, his voice was softened. “Yes, he didn't do it personally but my parents got dead because of his decisions and choice. If he hadn't threatened them, would they have been dead?” He was furious, his blood rushed through his veins ragingly, his eyes were
“I appreciate your efforts you have shown towards me and my daughter. We will forever be grateful to you! Thank you very much." With a heartfelt smile, she mumbled to himBut the question that kept roaming his mind was; who is trying to kill this beautiful woman? What has she done to deserve that cruel fate? He looked at the woman with his face clouded with worries. He doesn't know what happened but he has the feeling to save the woman from the looming danger in front of her. “Ma'am, I'm sorry to tell you this but can you examine your blood? I'm having a strange feeling, and I think someone is trying to kill you!" He blurted out to the woman. The woman was confused and didn't understand what he was saying at first, but noticing how his voice was laced with worries and fear made her nod her head in agreement. She went to meet a nurse in the ambulance and requested for her blood to be examined. “Excuse me, can you examine my blood? Can you do that for me?" She asked politely while
He gritted his teeth angrily, “Gabby, you are going to regret this!" He mumbled to himself. Waving out of his reverie, suddenly,he saw a car lose control and it rushed towards him.
