“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
Everyone was taking about Ezra’s act of wickedness now.How can he do that to his own sister?Well because they're only his half family, that's why.But still, it's wickness. She could have died it it's not with the help of that young handsome Dustin!.Yea, he's so handsome!More comments began to spike. Ezra couldn't believe his eyes. “You, you tricked me!”“Try anything funny here, and you'll be on the headline news of tomorrow's paper. Also, I know one or two things about fighting.” Dustin warned.Ezra didn't know if he was telling the truth or not. But fighting Dustin would not do anything right now..he had to stop that news from trending.So he ran inside the room. Dustin followed too.Martins was still blabbering without knowing that guy was still recording!“Martins you fool! How could you?” Ezra yelled.“Sir. You're back. There's been a problem. I did as you said,”he stopped seeing Dustin and Paula and Charlotte step in.Meanwhile, Vincent and Bobby had left already.“You've
“You know why I like you somehow?” Ezra said. “Because you have such a sweet ego. Look around, it's eight of us against only you! And they have weapons!” He bragged.Dustin was already calculating his points. Neither of them were with guns, and the so called weapons were sticks he could easily dogde.“And you know what I hate about you? No, I hate a lot about you but you know the worst part?” Dustin said and saw that Ezra was frowning. “You talk too much. Ezra.”“Of everyone I know, they respect me and call me young master Ezra, you throw that title away because of your stupid ego!” “See, he's still talking.” Dustin said, causing the veins on Ezra’s face to stand.“What are you waiting for! Get him, boys!” Ezra yelled.Two of them ran forward first. They were very tall with a well built body, but Dustin knew he could easily take them down with their poor posture. “Balance is very important, and that's why I'm going to knock you off this easily.” Dustin said and they laughed.With on
“Whats up? What happened to him?” “Dustin asked.“He said he was attacked. He didn't know by who, but he thinks it's linked to the ongoing investigation.” Alara said, suddenly looking frightened.“Then tell him to stop with the investigation. At least for now. It's led us to a dead end anyway. And you too. No need to get involved in this.” Dustin said.“Alright sir. I'll tell him that now.” Alara replied.“I guess it's time for me to revisit Mr. Whales and have another chat with him.” Dustin said.“We should halt with the investigation so we don't get hurt, and you can continue on your own?” Alara raised a brow at him.“Relax. It's just going to be a harmless conversation.” He assured.“You said that Ezra was around there. What if he sees you talking to Mr. Whales and starts to suspect.” Alara said worryingly.“I have to get to the route of this matter..and I won't drag anyone with me. Just stay safe and I promise I won't go too further that I'll drown. I'll go there maybe tomorrow an
He was still lost in thought when the store owner said, “this man is with the thief woman! Police, just do your jobs and arrest them already!”“Quit your shouting old man! Be patient.” The police yelled at him and he kept quiet.Dustin slotted his card in the POS machine and waited for the response. “Transaction successful.” the store owner said in disbelief that the words sounded foreign to his ears. “B-but how?”he thought to himself. So this man was rich!Then all of a sudden, someone yelled from the crowd. “That's the magic doctor on Martins live video! Remember the dare??”“Yes that's true. He won. He's still so handsome.” “Wow. I want an autograph! I love you magic doctor!” More comments began to pour out.The store owner realized that if he treated Dustin bad, it would be bad for his business. So he hurried up and met him.“Please forgive me sir. I doubted you when I shouldn't have. Forgive me sir.” He said quickly, hoping to please the crowd.“Well then, everything is settle
The next day, Alara couldn't take the scene that had happened with her and Dustin off her mind. She was still thinking about their kiss when Paula walked up to her. They were in the hall downstairs.“Hi, I was going to meet the receptionist but then I saw you.” Paula said in her tiny babyish voice. “Good morning to you too. How may I help you?” Alara asked. “I want to see Dustin actually. I've been meaning to see him since, you know? To thank him!” she said excitedly.For some reason, Alara couldn't help but feel jealous. Paula was the perfect kind of girl for someone like Dustin to fall for. She was working under him and there was no way a relationship could be born!“Alright, I'll lead you to him. That's if he's less busy actually.” Alara said to her and she smiled.“Hey, do you know if Dustin is seeing anyone at the moment?” she asked Alara.Alara shook her head. “None that I know of.” she responded.“Thank God! I was almost worried!” Said Paula. Being led to his office, Alara c
“With all due respect ma'am, you're nuts. I can't reveal my identity! Not now, not after the mysterious death of my dad!” Dustin said.Alara held him gently, “we'll talk about this some other time. We don't want to draw any attention on our selves.” she said quietly to him.“I still don't understand why you're here now. And don't ever bring this up again. I won't be a puppet to your show. And I won't hire you. I already have a personal assistant.” Dustin said firmly.“This young lady? Maybe she's smart. But can she take care of you, protect you? No..I don't think so. But with my connections, I can sure be of help to your little team. Think twice about this, young master.” the lady said.“And don't worry about people trying to kill you or anything. With my protection, you'll be safe. Besides, many than you can possibly imagine, already know of your secret identity, so why continue to hide?” Lorena said.Technically, she wasn't wrong.“But these people, they still won't make any sudden
The next day, Dustin was on his way home. Surprisingly, someone was at home waiting for him. He had received a call from one of the security at his home.“Hello sir, I am sorry to call you at this hour, but there's a woman here who won't leave no matter what we tell her!” the guard said.“That's absurd. Chase her away.” Dustin said. “I'm not expecting any woman.” He was especially surprised because Alara wasn't a stranger to his home.And he wasn't seeing any woman at the moment, and even Paula and her sister were famous people who would instantly get recognized.But the guard said again, “sir. She claimed to be your ex wife. But we find it hard to believe,” “And what is her name?” Dustin had to ask.“She says Laura. And she's still waiting sir. Should we send her away already?” asked the guard.Dustin frowned. “No. Let her stay. I'm almost home already.” He replied.On getting home, he met her waiting just outside where the guard must have placed her.“Dustin. So it is really your h
