Fiona folded her arms, and scoffed at what Cynthia just said, "Getting the deal doesn’t validate a blind man to become a manager. A manager of all things. Are you out of your mind?".Cynthia stepped forward, her voice cold and firm. "Don’t forget, Fiona, it was Dustin who made the bet. He agreed that Zaiden would take the position if he got the deal. grandfather was right here!”.Fiona turned to Mr. Randall, her voice sharp. "Father, are we really going to jeopardize the wellbeing of the company because of a childish bet? This isn’t a joke! Dustin might be reckless, but at least he’s capable. Zaiden is blind! He doesn’t have the skills or the vision—look at him, how would he be able to manage anything. Think of the company's reputation!".Zaiden, calm but assertive, interjected, "Mr. Randall, you were right here when Dustin made the bet. Everyone in this room heard it. I uphold my end of the deal. Or this family just sucks in keeping their promises!”.Fiona screamed, “look at him, bei
Dustin’s eyes went wide with shock as his cheek stung with the pain of Don’s slap. He held his face, bewildered.Don knew he had screwed up and needed to redeem himself. By the way his boss just talked to him, zaiden is not just an ordinary person, He pointed a finger at him, his face stern. “Watch your mouth! You don’t say that to him!”.“Him? Who is ‘him’? Did you just slap me because of this useless fellow? This blind man and an orphan, what is this about” Dustin asked, incredulous.“Call him useless again, and I will cut your tongue out,” Don warned through clenched teeth. Dustin went silent, his lips pursed in disbelief.Don turned to Zaiden, bowing slightly. “I’m… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were here for just a deal. I… I…”Zaiden, maintaining a calm but firm expression, cut him off. “We are here for the deal, Just give a signed agreement and we will be on our way!”.Don glanced up nervously. “Our boss…” He hesitated, but Zaiden shot him a warning look.Don quickly corrected
Don's eyes widened in disbelief. His face twisted in confusion, and for a moment, he seemed almost paralyzed by what had just happened. "You are... you are really blind?" he asked, "Or is this just some trick? A setup to make me drop my guard?"Dustin stood frozen, his own disbelief written all over his face. "What the hell? This man… is blind! i am sure he is pulling some trick. " He blinked a few times, trying to process what had just unfolded before him. Zaiden’s calm demeanour never faltered, "Let just settle this without violence."Don, visibly rattled, sneered as he stood up from his chair. "Well, damn, I will give you credit for that. two of my men down by a blind guy, that’s impressive. But you are just lucky." His eyes narrowed, and he motioned for two more men to step forward, their heavy boots echoing against the bar’s floor.The new two burly men charged forward, fists raised, but Zaiden was quicker than anyone could have expected. In one smooth motion, he twisted their
Cynthia’s hands tightened on the steering wheel, her mind racing with the weight of what Zaiden had just agreed to. She couldn’t understand why he was so confident, so certain that he could make a deal with the Spearhead Gang. Her eyes flickered nervously to him, but he sat calmly in the passenger seat. "Zaiden, this is insane," she muttered and faced him, her voice laced with frustration. "You are walking into the lion’s den. You don’t know what they’ll do to you! This is madness!" Without warning, Zaiden’s voice broke the silence. “Cynthia, look out!” She snapped her head forward, only to see a van speeding toward them, its headlights blinding in the night. Panic surged through her, and her hands jerked on the wheel, swerving the car just in time to avoid a collision. Her heart was racing as she regained control of the car, pulling it back into the lane. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. “How did you know?” she gasped, her voice trembling slightly. “You are blind, h
Cynthia and Zaiden found themselves alone in the quiet room. Cynthia paced back and forth, her face tight with regret. “I shouldn’t have accepted the bet,” she whispered, pressing a hand to her forehead. “Collins set it up to make me look like a fool, and now… I have two months to do the impossible. How could I be so reckless?”. Zaiden stepped forward, reaching out gently. “Cynthia, don’t worry. We’ll find a way.” But as his hand touched her arm, she jerked back, eyes flashing. “Don’t, Doctor,” she said, her voice edged with a sharpness he hadn’t heard before. “You need to understand that this—us—isn’t love. It’s just a promise made, nothing more. I only kept you close because… I pity you. You are blind, and that… that’s why I wanted to help you, nothing else. So please, don’t touch me unless I say so.” For a moment, a shadow passed over Zaiden’s face, but he nodded slowly, a soft, sad smile forming on his lips. “I understand, Cynthia,” he said quietly. “But I don’t believe pi
Collins’s face twisted with anger as he spat, “How could you choose him over me, Cynthia? I am the one with wealth, influence, the one who can offer you everything. But you—” he gestured towards Zaiden, sneering—“you choose this blind beggar? He has nothing, Cynthia. He is nothing!”.Cynthia held her ground, her voice calm but unwavering. “That’s my decision, Collins. I have already get detached from you over the years, I'm sorry, let just forget we even know each other!".Collins’s jaw tightened as he leaned in, his tone laced with disdain. “Cynthia, don’t be foolish. You know your company has been on the brink of collapse for months. It’s only a matter of time before it sinks entirely, and without strong support, you will be left with nothing. Do you think this… this blind man can help you run a business? How are you going to pull it off with him?”.Cynthia’s gaze sharpened. “Don’t worry about my company, Collins. I will find a way to rebuild it myself.”He scoffed, his laughter bit
Zaiden stood his ground as the guards closed in, "Is this, how you treat people?". Mr. Randall leaned back with a smug expression, watching with satisfaction. "This is what happens when a man doesn't know his place," he sneered. “You have brought this on yourself, blind fellow.” Zaiden’s expression remained calm, his blind eyes focused forward. He could feel the shift in the air as the guards surrounded him, the subtle vibrations in the floor from their movements. His senses were razor-sharp, honed from years of adapting without sight. One guard stepped forward, baton raised. Zaiden dodged, moving with a fluid precision that shocked everyone in the room. His hand shot out, gripping the man’s wrist and twisting until the baton fell from his grasp with a loud clang. In one swift motion, Zaiden spun, using the man’s own momentum to throw him to the floor. The other guards hesitated, momentarily stunned by his unexpected prowess. They all stepped back. But Mr. Randall barked, “What a
The room fell into a tense silence after Zaiden’s bold declaration. Mr. Randall blinked, then scoffed, a smirk forming as he leaned back in his seat.“You must be joking,” Mr. Randall said, his tone dismissive. “That part of the reward was just to entice people, we don't really mean it. I will give you ten million dollars. It’s more than enough for what you’ve done. So, let’s be reasonable here. Take the money, and let’s keep things… uncomplicated.”Zaiden stood straight, his expression calm but resolute. “I don’t want the money. I want Cynthia.”Mr. Randall’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he realized Zaiden wasn’t backing down. “Young man, you are being absurd. This is the Randall family we are talking about, not some common household where whims are entertained. Take the ten million, or I will make it fifteen, but you need to forget about marrying Cynthia.”Zaiden didn’t flinch, his voice steady. “Money isn’t my concern, Mr. Randall. I have saved her life as my part, and it’s
"Who are you, what do you mean my lord", Zaiden asked. "it's me. Mr. Tao sir!", The person immediately stated. Zaiden’s heart pounded as he clutched the phone, the realization hitting him hard. “Mr. Tao... you are alive? I thought… I thought you were lost in the attack.” Mr. Tao’s voice crackled with a fierce loyalty and a tinge of sorrow. “Yes, young master. Your father ordered us to escape that night. We were only a thousand then, too weakened and scattered to protect you. But over the years, we have regrouped, rebuilt, and trained. Now, we stand as ten thousand, ready to serve you.” Zaiden, still reeling from the staggering deposit and this unexpected call, felt a whirlwind of emotions. “You all have… been waiting this entire time? And this money—did you send it?”. “Yes, my lord,” Mr. Tao replied. “This is just the beginning. We have managed to gather resources, allies, and support across nations. We are very bigger and control the market now. you should have heard ab
