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
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
Dustin tried to calm his wife down. He realized that she had been truly angered by Esther sudden behavior for wanting to create a grand wedding for Tom and not her. It was truly devastating and he couldn't deny that. "Alara?" He called out to her, knocking gently on the door. His voice remained as warm as early spring, as if her heart beat so steadily even though she took a different view from him. She simply said this was her way of doing things. He could see her balk at first, so accustomed he was the to ways of Alara and her fiery temper. He was different, because he absorbed things and then responded more than reacted, dampened situations rather than adding to the flames. And so before he knew it everything was happy again, it was love all around instead of the bickering he was so accustomed to. It was a sense of calm he grew to love.And he would be teaching it to his wife now. "This path of life is challenge enough," he began to say. Dustin remembered a little of what his moth
On this cloudy morning there are growing patches of blue, the sort of hue that is soft and bright at the same time. Though beneath the sheet of cloud is a grey that deepens to steel, the leading edge is a brilliant white, as if it is the pages of a new book ready for any curious eye. So, on this day that could bring rain or sunshine, I'm hoping for both, for the chance of a rainbow and to feel so much more because the day is blessed with clouds.Light grew steadily outside until the curtains glowed just the same as stained glass. Kevin stuck his head behind the fabric to survey what the day might bring. The road was slick with water, though the puddles remained quite still, no hint of rain still falling. Above the clouds were still grey but without the denseness of yesterday, allowing patches of blue to form.In good moods a writer may paint words that are fine wine and soft music; words that contain more healing medicine than all the drugs created by man. They are clear water over ro
Paul set out to visit Dustin that day, and as he arrived their doorstep, he decided to make a phone call to his sister so she wouldn't say he came in unaware. The phone rang a few times and she still hadn't picked up. When he learned to soothe his impatient self, the rewards were significant. His focus improved, and his relationships became more mellow, and everything in his day worked that little bit better. It made all the difference. Over time he saw others learning from him, relaxing, and the vibe of his family took a turn for the better. She still wasn't picking up for whatever reasons. Finally at the last ring, she picked up. "Yes, Paul ? What do you want?" Asked her voice in a quite impatient manner, like she had been in a hurry. "Where are you to be hurrying me like that?" He asked, wondering why his sister was using that manner to refer to him. Then it hit him. She didn't really like him as well as her husband, and he certainly couldn't blame them at all. He probably would
Esther was with her other queens, and they had nearly ended their meeting. She listened carefully to Regina's silly talks about how she was powerful and well respected. She purposely pointed fingers at Esther, stating that she had been less important just because she was going through some rough times. Esther was silent all through the time because she didn't even bother to pay attention to their silly talks. All she could focus her kind was on her family. She realized that her family had been falling apart slowly. He husband had been acting strangely towards her for reasons she couldn't even explain. But then, she hoped it had been for a great cause. She couldn't even put her mind on that for long. Then there was the issue with her daughter and then with her enemies, Fernando and ezra. alara wasn't safe at all. And she felt like a terrible mother for not being able to do anything about that. There was always something to do. She would gain power no matter the cost. What she needed
"Well, we don't have a head queen so technically, I'm speaking on behalf of her." "Well I don't agree. Until we have a head queen, you don't have the right to strip me off my membership." She said, still standing strong on her word. She was terrified on the inside of course! But she would not show her weaknesses. Regina frowned. "Well until then. But for now, being the owner of my house I say this to you. Get out of my house!" She ordered and more laughter grew wild again. Esther couldn't help but feel nothing but shame. But she wouldn't be waking away just like that. She strode over to Regina then stood face to face with her. "You're going to regret this Regina. In fact, all of you will regret this. I will make an attendance of everyone of you in this room. Regina, Dana, camera woman Anna, Rachel, Danielle, in fact all of you. And I remember vividly of the faces in the room here. I know all of you. Mark my words, you will regret this." And with that, she stomped out sitting the do
Alara and her husband had been expecting the peculiar twain, Ezra Alonzo and Trevor, his son in law. Why they had been asking for an audience with Dustin , he didn't know. All he knew was that they were up to no good. Finally, they arrived and he led them to the living room. He had told Alara to remain inside because his instincts had been right. They only wanted to scan around to check everywhere, and most importantly, they wanted to find out what his wife knew. He was almost certain that they would try to find out a little too much and he didn't know how, so for that reason, he had asked that his wife remained inside. "Welcome Mr Ezra Alonzo and Trevor." dustinsaid, and this brought both faces to exchange awkward stares. dustinknew they were probably wondering how he had known their names. He decided to ease the tension a little. "I was told of your names before you arrived." dustinsaid, and he could see the calmness in their eyes as they each have a sigh of relief. Ezra bro
For the first time in weeks, Mindy made her way over to Dustin again, and she couldn't even explain how exactly she was feeling. For one reason, she was angry. Very frustrated that he was still married to his goddamn wife! She loved him and would always do. And yet, not even for once had he reciprocated her feelings. Heaving in a deep sigh, she advanced forward to make a knock on the door. "Don't worry, Mindy. Breath it in," and with that, she made a knock on the door. It hadn't been a loud bang, rather barely more than a slight knock, but almost immediately, the door had flung wide open. "Oh God, you're back..." He was standing before her, staring like he had been day dreaming, probably wondering what the fuck she had been doing at his footstep. "Oh I thought you were someone else," he said so apologetically. That frustrated her even more. He had probably been excited thinking that she was his dear wife! She had better not show her true emotions to avoid failing on the first day o
"This relationship, Dustin, should be a relation-ship, or a kinship - something that makes us family. I want it to be something that unites our friends, our relations, and not become as a boat cast adrift away from those we know and love. What is good builds up goodness, heals and includes others. What is good is a benefit to us and our community, to the world. It is how we let this love for one another spill out, make a light for others to share. So, my love, hoist the sail; we're homeward bound.""Wait you just thought of saying something as compelling as this to me because what?" He said to her, half shocked. She only smiled back, her eyes and dimples crinkling as she did. Alara was very beautiful although she never seemed to listen to him whenever he made mention of it to her. "Thank you a lot for the comforting words. I won't forget. You know," but he stopped then grinned as he thought of what to say and he knew already that she might have not been too impressed. "But then, e
"Sir, I have done as you've asked. What is your plan now?" Mindy asked as she saw Dustin talking to himself. She sat with him. He didn't even do as if someone was there, just minding his own business and calculating now and what he would do to his rival. Sometimes she always wondered what it was that was truly going on in that mind of his, but she knew he was very smart and full of advices and plans. And she was always so glad that she was now on their team.Business had to ask themselves if they were exploiting the population or uplifting them, especially in relation to the young and if not, it failed. For what is psychological maturity other than learning how to make wise choices to protect others? The glorification of greed was as a golden tricycle being pedalled in circles at the end of a cul-de-sac... yet believing itself a fancy car shooting into the far horizon. Greed is always the product of a brain with underdevelopment of its more highly evolved features. But there he was
