It's past some hours now and Eleanor is yet to come, Gaius had to leave because his wife called for his attention so now it's just Jerome and Steve in the room.A nurse came in later to attend to Jerome giving him some doses of injection to help him heal faster. Somehow the injection got him drowsy and not long after he fell off to sleep, making Steve frown."What did you do to him ?" Steve demanded."I just gave him his afternoon medication, it will help him to relax more so that his wounds will heal faster," the nurse explained, she picked up her tray and began walking to the door but Steve stopped her with another question."Who are you?" he questioned.The nurse sighed when Steve began to ask too many questions but she answered anyway because she knew it was for the safety of the young Master of the Cadell's family."My name is Grace, I am the nurse who has been assigned to take care of the young master during his stay here," the nurse answered."Are you the only one who is suppo
A car stopped in front of the Cadell's mansion, James came out and quickly rushed to the other side of the car, helping Annika out. She groaned in pain as her feet met the ground, her knees were bleeding badly and her wrist hurt too.She had bruises on her face as well, giving her a bad look."Let's go through the back door," James suggested.She was finding it difficult to walk so James had no option but to carry her before anyone saw them. As if their fate had been cursed, it happened that the old master was walking through the garden which is the same way the back door leads to before entering the mansion.James thought he was careful but the old master caught him before he could step into the mansion."James?" The old man called with a frown.James froze recognizing who that voice belonged to, it was none other than the person whom he was trying to avoid. As soon as he drove in he knew of course the curious old man would not let him rest without asking questions, that is why he c
Eleanor sat in the empty ward waiting patiently for Jerome who was taking forever to come out."Do you plan to spend eternity in the bathroom? Come out already,"y Eleanor said irritatingly."Give me an hour more I need to scrub this smelly hospital away from my body," Jeremy shouted from the bathroom."What, an hour!!! how can you spend an hour to just bathe? Please come out and continue with your wasting of water in your house, this is not your house," Eleanor burst out with anger.“It's not my house but it's my grandfather's hard-earned money that built this building," Jerome boasted."It is your grandfather's hard-earned money so you want to waste it?" The old master said jokingly, entering the ward."Good morning, grandpa" Eleanor bowed respectively."Stop, playing tricks on me Eleanor. I know my grandpa is not here, you could have just said you want to leave. Why threaten me with my… Grandpa, you are here?" Jerome's words came to an abrupt end when he saw his grandpa sitting rel
Steve took time to observe the place, this was his first time entering the old master's study room. It screams wealth and it looks like this old man he is staring at now is a neat freak, everything in his house is just neat."Are you going to stand forever?" The old man decided to bring him out of his trance. He could not wait to hear what Steve had to tell him."Thank you," Steve said, taking a seat "I'm all ears now," the old master gave him the go-ahead."Jerome was poisoned, yesterday too," Steve broke the news to the old master, shocking him to the core."What!!! How? When?" The old master questioned with unease."In the evening," Steve answered."Wait...what were those useless securities doing when someone entered? I clearly remember giving them a stern warning not to let anyone in," the old master snapped angrily"It is not their fault sir, the enemy acted smart this time around," Steve said."What do you mean? Tell me everything from scratch," the old master requested.Steve
Steve has been thinking a lot, trying to connect the dots on Anika's attack too."Is it a coincidence, she happened to have suffered the same date that night?" he thought"It doesn't look like she got in an accident, this can only result from falling from a height," He recalled the nurse's statement, somehow he did not want to believe Jerome's cousin was behind this. Why would she want to kill her blood? After all, she did not look like the desperate type. The few moments he encountered her, she was this calm like a pool of water.He decided to visit her to clear the cloudy atmosphere. He needed to be fast with it because the old master was already asking for results.He wouldn't want to point a finger at her without any proof at all that would be like disrespecting his family. Of course, no one dares humiliate a Cadell and go scot-free.He can not walk up to the old master all of a sudden and tell him, Annika is the cause of everything going on.He can not do that until he has a fi
It had been three days since Jerome was discharged from the hospital, and he decided to resume work as soon as he felt better. He wasn't satisfied with some of the reports Bright brought to him, and most of the workers were lazing about because he wasn't around. So, he intended to resume today, and of course, he was going with Eleanor because she wouldn't allow him to go alone; after all, she was his assistant.Jerome and Eleanor entered the companion, but to their surprise, they found everywhere silent."Did we come too early? Where is everyone?" Elena asked, casting her eyes around for any sign of activity.Jerome checked his watch; it was already time for everyone to be in their working positions. The place should have been busy by now. Truly, Bright was right about the workers lazing about."Welcome back, Boss and ma'am!!!" a group of people shouted, startling Eleanor and Jerome. The workers already knew Eleanor was the young mistress, so it wasn't new information to them.Bright e
It's been almost a month now, and everything seems to be moving smoothly for the Cadells. They haven't encountered any problems so far. Anika has responded to treatment unexpectedly fast and is now standing back on her feet, looking healthy as though she hadn't suffered a serious accident just months ago."We need to make another plan to get rid of that boy; he's becoming a thorn in our flesh. Maybe we should just kill him ourselves with our bare hands since he's refusing to die," Annika spat angrily."How do you locate that mysterious man without him reaching us? We really need to end this as soon as possible," Anika said with determination.James stared at her, amused by the energy with which she's speaking. He thought she would have succumbed to the idea that they can never defeat Jerome, but she seems more determined than ever."I have his contact; you can call him if you want. I'm sure he will have a plan B. But come to think of it, have you ever thought of who this mysterious man
Jerome drove into the house roughly. He came down and closed his car door roughly, then walked to the back seat to get the ice cream and pizza Eleanor asked for before walking inside the house.Steve came out of his car too with a sigh and closed his door as well. He had already anticipated this situation. He knew how angry Jerome was and under no circumstances would he risk his men being here with him. Jerome might change his mind within a second to harm them just to satisfy his anger.Steve walked into the house as well, realizing there was no other way out of this but to tell him the truth. He knew it would come to this one day, but he never expected it to happen so soon. He was sure his friend would be really angry with him for not telling him anything about this, but there was nothing he could do; his hands were tied.Steve greeted Eleanor when he got inside. He actually bumped into her coming out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee."Hi, Steve, good morning. Your friend never to
