“What? Are you insane?” Dustin exclaimed. “Where would you have me find such money? I really think you should leave now, Tom.”Tom only continued to laugh. “Why are you so funny, friend!” He wheezed out.“No, you're the one being funny. Where do you expect me to get that amount of money?” Although Dustin was lying! That amount was just like a cent to him.“Wait friend, are you being serious?” How can you say this right to my face? Look at your office! Look at everywhere! You must be a millionaire!” Tom exclaimed.Dustin gave a loud sigh. “I just started working here weeks ago, you know that. I'll just have my first salary!”“But it will be in millions! And even your sweet ex wife told me you must have been saving money before because she didn't believe you had this much money!” Tom said.This made Dustin frown. “You spoke to Laura? I didn't know you guys were friends.” “Oh we're not really friends…that's not the point!” He quickly hid the fact that he had been blushing secretly. Dust
Everyone turned and saw a well built man with long hair falling loose on his shoulders. He looked at least in his early fifties. The man sighted Ezra and bowed slightly. “Master Ezra, I didn't know you were here.”“Sir, I'm sorry, but this man won't pay up–” Freddy quickly said, not to offend his boss, but Ezra walked past him towards the middle aged man.“Sir, I didn't know he was your guest. I wonder what you see in him.” Ezra said, then next thing Dustin knew, he was smiling.“We were just talking nicely together. No one was fighting at all.” Ezra said.Dustin kept quiet, watching the drama before him. Why was that Ezra guy suddenly acting to be nice?“Oh is that so, master Ezra? Well, I'd like to attend to my guests now.” He said, then frowned at Freddy. “Get back to work now!” “Well I'll leave you two now.” Said Ezra to the middle-aged man. Then he whispered to Dustin who was still seated, enjoying his drink. “Hey you, this isn't over yet. Watch your back!” And with that, he l
Dustin was disgusted by her act. Just when did she break up with her dearest Tobin? Now she was seeing another man again?!“Stalking you? You should stop saying that, Laura.” Dustin frowned at her.“My love, you know this piece of trash?” asked Ezra.Laura didn't want to tell him that she used to he his wife! “What? Oh yes I know him. He used to be my driver and house help one time of his life.” Laura said. Dustin was about to talk when he saw her blink fast, using her eyes to beg him not to say the truth.“Whatever. Let's go, Alara.” Dustin said.“Yes sir.” Replied Alara.“Are you lying to me, love? Where do you know this guy from?” Ezra asked slowly in a creepy scary voice.“I–I don't know him! But I know the lady!” Laura said carefully. “She is Alara, the vice president of Matyrs motors. I needed her help for the growth of my company then, but I met you already.” “Typical Laura,” Dustin muttered. “Always looking for a richer man.”The meeting was held and Ezra would not shut up
Dustin frowned as he looked up to see Ezra. He wanted to get up but the lady pulled him even closer.“Please, don't let go!” She cried out in a choked voice.“He's your brother?” Dustin sighed. “I don't want anything to do with you people.”The lady was about to speak again but suddenly, she vomited blood.“What? No, it must be really high.” Dustin said to himself.In that moment, the sound of the ambulance had arrived. They carried her and quickly took her in.Ezra rushed to meet him. “What are you doing with my sister? Stay the fuck away from her, okay!”“Relax. I wasn't doing anything.” Dustin said.A lady walked towards their midst. She was slender and tall, looking just like that lady who had vomited blood!“Big sis? What are you doing here?” Ezra asked.“Hello. Here's my card. I'll need you again, please. My men here told me how you saved my sister's life.” The lady ignored Ezra and said to Dustin. She handed him a card.“I doubt you'll need me again. You're going to the profess
A few days later, Alara convinced Dustin to call the congress woman.“Hello ma'am, how is your sister's health?” He asked.“She's not healing as we hoped. I was about to call you now, maybe you can do something again. She has been asking of you since.” The woman said.Dustin knew what he could do to save her, lower her blood pressure drastically, but he didn't want to get entangled with Ezra! But with Alara’s advice, maybe this woman can help him win against Ezra and he'll earn his dad's mansion back. “Okay, I will visit. Are you still in the hospital?” Dustin asked.“Yes. We still are. The doctors says it will drop but no drugs have been helping!” The lady said.“Take her back home. And do these thinhs for me,” he said. “Let her have a warm bath, place her gently on the bed and have her relax well. Then wait for me. I will be back with some herbs and she will be fine in no time.”“Alright then. Thank you!” the lady said, the hung up.Realizing he had not much work to do at the offi
They did as he has asked and even though the congress woman bad said that Dustin to stay a while, he said he had to leave.For two days, this medication went on. Dustin was with her that day. “The nurse will be here to get your reading for today. Normally, blood pressures are always high in the morning. So note that in mind.” He lectured her.“You've me this already Dustin. Thank you for all your help. I'm so grateful. Just yesterday, the nurse said it had dropped to 140/90!” “And it will reduce even more. Don't worry.” He assured.Shortly after, the congresswoman who had called herself Charlotte, entered with a tall slender man along with Ezra!Ezra walked to meet Dustin. “How dare you interfere in my family affairs? When I found out, I couldn't believe my eyes. What's your business!”“I have no idea what you're saying.” Dustin ignored and walked over to meet Charlotte. “Where is the nurse?”Charlotte frowned. “This is doctor Martins. Best doctor in the whole town. He has 10 millio
“Her BP is 125/80.” Martins said. He looked shocked to see it had reduced. Deep down, he wished to learn what Dustin had done, but he feared Ezra’s presence.“Good. Then you're back to normal. You just need rest, Paula. Now, reduce the concoction to just a teaspoon morning and night.” Dustin said proudly.Of course Ezra was fuming with rage there, angry that Dustin had been right about her BP reducing! Dustin is escorted out and Ezra called Martins out. “What the hell was that? Why did her BP dropped?” He askes the doctor.“Well that particular herb has been proven scientifically to drop–” Martins was about to explain when he was suddenly cut off by Ezra again.“It doesn't matter. I want to win, Martins. Tomorrow, that bastard will be here and I want to shame him.” anger flashed in his eyes and remained there.Now, Martins was a little confused. “But I thought we're all after your sister's sound health?” “We are. But a little spiking of her BP wouldn't hurt, would it?” Ezra said.“
“Hey lady,” Dustin said to the maid that had walked in already. “I need fresh honey.” He said, and everyone turned to look at him.Dustin knew he needed to he smart so they wouldn't know he had found out about the poison. To be smart, he would need to play dumb.“I have something in mind, and I'll need cold water and diluted honey in the nect 5 minutes. Make sure it's not raw honey, it has to be diluted, okay?” He said.“Huh? Honey for what?” Ezra asked.“You have 4 minutes lady! Please hurry up.” Dustin ignored and yelled further at the lady. She rushed out and Ezra went with her.They talked for a while before only Ezra walked back in. 2 minutes more…Dustin thought.“What do you need it for, huh?” asked Ezra.“What else do you think? It's to stabilize her BP. And avoid any complications. You see, it the honey is too raw, it can cause serious damage to her arteries.” Dustin said.“What? And you want my sister to drink that?” said Ezra.“Which is why I wanted that lady to bring the k
