Cynthia stepped forward, her voice trembling but resolute. “I will stand for him,” she announced, silencing the room.

“If anything goes wrong, hold me accountable.”

The crowd erupted in murmurs of disbelief, their whispers laced with mockery.

“How foolish can she be? what's really wrong with her” someone scoffed.

“She’s lost her mind. She will need to treat her brain also. not only does her eyes need treatment” another added.

Aaron sneered, “You are really going to stake your reputation on this? On a blind beggar with no credentials?”

Zaiden stood still, his face expressionless. The tension in the room was palpable as the assistant manager, visibly torn, glanced at Cynthia and then at Mr. Colton, whose body lay still, teetering on the brink of death.

After what felt like an eternity, the assistant manager exhaled sharply, his gaze locking on Cynthia.

“Fine. Do whatever you need to do, but if this fails...” He didn’t need to finish his sentence before

Zaiden nodded and turned towar

    Fiona stepped closer to Zaiden, her gaze sharp and condescending. “Don’t get any ideas,” she hissed, her voice. “Mr. Colton only said those things because he was overwhelmed in the moment. Gratitude makes people say ridiculous things. You’re not actually going to be CEO”. Zaiden stayed calm , which only seemed to enrage Fiona further. Mr. Randall marched up to him. He looked down at Zaiden as if he were an insect. “Let me make one thing clear,” Mr. Randall began, his tone cold. “You might have some… medical skills, but that doesn’t qualify you to run anything, let alone a branch of this company. Mr. Colton’s words were nothing more than a gesture of gratitude. Don’t let them inflate your ego. not when i am still alive, in my own company”. Zaiden nodded and said, "You will change your mind soon." "Shut up, blindman, what is making you confident, I would rather commit suicide than making you Any branch CEO of my company," Mr. Randall said. Cynthia chimed in, "That's okay for

Leave him.” The man scoffed, stepping back from Collins, who clutched his bruised face, groaning. “Oh, I see,” the man sneered, turning his attention to Zaiden. “You think you can talk to me, let me teach you lesson also". Collins, still on the ground, whimpered, “Zaiden, don’t. You can’t fight him! If I couldn’t take him, you definitely can’t. You’re blind!” Zaiden glanced in Collins’s direction, his expression unchanging. “Shut up. Is this how a man behaves? that you were bragging about”. Everyone laughed ar him and he was so embarrassed. The man laughed mockingly and faced zaiden. “You think you’re better than him, blind man? Let me teach you a lesson real quick.” Without warning, the man threw a punch aimed directly at Zaiden’s face. Zaiden tilted his head slightly, weaving just out of reach, the punch missing him enti

    Cynthia’s voice trembled as she stepped closer to Zaiden, her expression a mix of fear and frustration. “Why are you being so stubborn, Zaiden?” she whispered, her tone pleading. “I don’t want to have problems with the Quint family. You don’t know what they’re capable of!”.Zaiden’s jaw tightened, “He assaulted and molested you, Cynthia,” he said, his voice low and firm. “It would be improper for me, as your husband, to apologize for his disgusting actions. What about him? Where is his apology?”.Cynthia’s lips parted as if to protest, but the words caught in her throat. She glanced at the crowd, now buzzing with fear and unease, before turning back to Zaiden. “Zaiden,” she whispered again, her voice breaking, “I just don’t want you to get hurt. Please, let this go.”Zaiden’s tone softened, but his resolve remained unshaken. “You don’t have to worry. I’m not afraid of them.”Master Lee sneered, clapping his hands mockingly. “Enough of this romance gimmick. If this blind fool can’t be

    The room fell into stunned silence as Mr. Quint, a man known for his unyielding pride and authority, dropped to his knees before Zaiden. Murmurs of disbelief rippled through the crowd. “How could Mr. Quint kneel for someone like him?” someone whispered. “This blind man must be more powerful than we thought,” another murmured. Zaiden’s voice cut through the shock, calm and steady. “You shouldn’t be the one kneeling,” he said firmly, his blind eyes fixed ahead. “You didn’t commit the offense.” Mr. Quint, visibly shaken, rose to his feet. His face was a mixture of fear and anger as he turned to his son, Lee. “Now kneel!” he bellowed, his voice like thunder. Lee froze, his bravado instantly replaced by terror. “Father, no—” “I said KNEEL!” Mr. Quint roared. Lee's anger spiked, his pride shattered. "He’s nothing! A nobody! A lowlife who—" Mr. Quint's face darkened. His hand shot up, silencing Lee with a single motion. "Lowlife?" His tone turned icy. "Lee, let me make this cr

    The restaurant hummed with low chatter and the soft clinking of glasses. Across the table, a blind man sat opposite a strikingly beautiful woman, his plate empty from a satisfying meal. "Here, darling," she said with a gentle smile, sliding a pen into his hand. "Just sign at the bottom." He paused, fingertips brushing over the edge of the paper. "What exactly am I signing?". "It’s for... your surgery. I want to help you see again. It breaks my heart to see you like this," she murmured, her smile forced. His hand froze, the pen held tight in his grip. "Liar." Her eyes widened, feigning innocence. "Zaiden, what are you talking about?" Zaiden turned his head in her direction, his face hardening with a fierce intensity. "I know what you’re up to. This isn’t about helping me—it’s something much darker." She stiffened, her gaze narrowing. "How dare you accuse me! After a year together, you think I’d betray you?". "Oh, I know," he replied coldly, his voice laced with a deadly

    Zaiden’s face fell as the waitress tapped her foot impatiently. “But I only had a $500 meal,” he protested, his voice strained. She crossed her arms, smirking. “Your ‘wife’—the lady who just left—ordered a lot more, packed it to go. The total is $10,000, and you’re responsible for the bill.” Zaiden shook his head, the frustration evident in his tone. “I don’t have that kind of money. She left me in the dark—i don't know about it". "I don't care, you came together, so you will pay!". People around him started murmuring, some laughing. “What kind of man gets tricked by his own woman?” one man sneered. “Blind beggar can’t even pay for his own meal,” another mocked. "who even allow this man to come in here, I feel like throwing up!". The waitress rolled her eyes. “Look, I don’t care about your sob story. Pay up, or I will call security and you will work here for five months to cover the bill”. Zaiden clenched his jaw, feeling the heat of humiliation rising within him. He

    Zaiden stood at the entrance of Paradise Villa, his clothes worn and face weary because it was very stressful getting here, but he held himself with confidence, masking his blindness. He wore black glass and didn't bring his stick. He knocked and stood up straight, and the guard stepped out, sizing him up with a disdainful look at his dirty clothes. “What do you want here?” the guard sneered. “I am here to treat Ms. Cynthia,” Zaiden replied calmly. The guard scoffed. “Do you have an appointment?”. “No. I heard it’s an open offer, available to anyone qualified. I want to help” The guard laughed, crossing his arms. “Look at you—barely dressed for a village fair, and you think you can just waltz in here? Do you even know where you are? people like you can't be here”. Zaiden kept his tone steady. “I’m here to help. Just inform her that someone’s here who might be able to cure her blindness.” “Oh, really?” The guard’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “So you think you, of all peop

He’s been spewing nonsense since the start, claiming there’s fluid in Mr. Colton’s lungs. We’ve been asking the same thing—how would a blind man even know that?. mind you, he is blind, poor and a beggar”Zaiden, unbothered by them, stepped closer. His voice was steady. “If you move him now, the fluid will shift, and he will suffocate. You need to act immediately and remove it here.

Before he could continue, Mr. Colton raised his hand, silencing him. His voice trembled, a mix of fear and curiosity. “Stop, Mr. Randall. He’s not abusing me… What he said is true. I do have Lymphangioleiomyomatosis,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. The room erupted into gasps and murmurs, the crowd exchanging stunned glances. How could Zaiden have known something so personal. "How did he know?".. "what is happening here. he seems to confidence to be spewing nonsense", Another person added. Zaiden, still calm, replied, “Your pattern of breathing, the strain in your voice, and the way you paused when speaking were clear indicators to me. I have studied such cases extensively.

    Dustin, Fiona, and Mrs. Hailey exchanged smug smiles, their expressions practically glowing with satisfaction. This was exactly the reaction they had been hoping for. Mr. Colton, visibly brimming with disdain, continued, his voice loud enough to carry across the grand hall.“This is an insult,” he declared, waving a dismissive hand toward Zaiden. “what about Collins, who comes from an influential family—a family that could leverage this company to even greater heights. And yet, you choose this! A blind man? A nobody?!”The crowd murmured in agreement, the whispers growing louder.“This is so shameful. What’s wrong with her?”.“She could have had Collins, but instead, she picks… him?”From his seat behind Mr. Colton, Mr. Randall leaned forward with an expression of cold authority. “Maybe, we should publicly knock some sense into her before she drags this company’s reputation any further into the mud.”The murmurs turned to gasps. Mr. Randall’s gave others the go-ahead to shame Cynthia.
