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 people, can do what the best doctors couldn’t?. you look even young and haggard, I guess you are here beg. look, This place isn’t for beggars who want a quick buck. Take a look at yourself, fool!”

Zaiden clenched his fists, keeping his composure. “I’m not here for money. I am here to help, I can treat her Within thirty minutes.”

The guard rolled his eyes. “Sure, you are. Now, get out of here before I call someone to throw you out. you have no business near Paradise Villa.”

Ignoring the insults, Zaiden pressed on, his voice resolute. “Then let me talk to someone who can decide that, not you.”

The guard scoffed louder, shaking his head. “Dream on. No one’s going to waste their time on a pathetic, nobody like you.”

Just then, as the guard continued his grumbling, Zaiden turned toward him with a calm expression. "You have been struggling with constipation and difficulty urinating, haven’t you?” he said.

The guard froze, eyes wide in shock. “What... how did you know?”.

Zaiden continued, his tone unhurried. “You are also having trouble digesting your food, and I can tell you haven’t been sleeping well at night. There is a faint odor too—a sourness that comes from frequent vomiting. I would say you have something called intestinal heat syndrome.”

The guard stared at him, speechless.

Zaiden nodded. “It’s common for those who don’t eat a balanced diet and have irregular routines. If left untreated, it can worsen, affecting your organs. A simple herbal mixture of dandelion root, barley, and licorice root should relieve the symptoms. Also, drink warm water with lemon each morning.”

The guard blinked, his shock turning to confusion, then a hint of embarrassment. “How… how do you know all this?” he stammered.

Zaiden simply replied, “I’ve trained my whole life in medicine. I can sense things others miss. The scent, your breathing pattern—it told me everything.”

He gulped.

"So, can you know believe me", He asked him.

The guard gulped, eyes wide with a newfound respect and disbelief.

“Fine… come in,” he muttered, stepping aside reluctantly and signaling Zaiden to follow.

Inside Paradise Villa, Zaiden kept his head high despite the elegant surroundings and the scrutiny that awaited him. The guard led him through the hall, eventually reaching the dining room where the Randall family was gathered, almost ready for dinner. As soon as they saw Zaiden’s worn clothes and weary appearance, a few of them cringed visibly, and several held their noses in disdain.

Mrs. Hailey, a stern woman with a piercing gaze, was the first to break the silence. “What is this nonsense?” she demanded, “Who let this… man into our home? What kind of audacity do you have to bring someone like this in?”.

Mr. Randall, the head of the family , a man in his 70's, stately figure with an air of authority, looked just as displeased. He shot a harsh glare at the guard.

“Is this some kind of joke?” he barked. “You bring a beggar into my home? Have you lost your mind?”.

The guard quickly defended himself. “Sir, he… he claims he’s here to treat Ms. Cynthia. I wouldn’t have let him in, but he… he knew things just by smelling, he is good!".

Mrs. Hailey chimed in, "What, this haggard man is here to treat my daughter?".

Fiona and Dustin, two young members of the family, exchanged mocking looks.

Fiona sneered. “What, he read your fortune or something? this is another person that wants to exhaust us!".

Dustin, leaning back with a smirk, added, “Honestly, He is a beggar and young, something that big doctors couldn't even treat, and this young inexperience can do it?".

Zaiden stood unfazed, his blind eyes hidden behind his dark glasses, but his posture held firm. Ignoring the insults, he spoke directly to Mrs. Hailey.

“I have come to offer my help,. I’m trained in Eastern medicine, and I believe I may be able to help your daughter. your daughter can see again”

Mrs. Hailey scoffed, her face flushed with anger. “Help my daughter? Who do you think you are, walking in here and claiming you can do what the best doctors couldn’t? You mock us by even suggesting it!”.

Zaiden remained calm, sensing her skepticism. “It’s not mockery".

Mrs. Hailey was very angry as she stormed at him and have him a soundful slap.

Smack!!!.

Then his glass broken and fell from his face.

The family was shocked by what they found, Zaiden's eyes was damn shut!!!.

"wait, I think this man here is blind", Dustin said after inspecting him very well.

Mr. Randall asked, "Are you really blind!".

Zaiden gulped and stated, "Yeah!, I am blind!".

what!.

Almost everyone gasped

    The silence broke into an eruption of mocking laughter. “Unbelievable!” one of the family members sneered, “A blind man, here to heal the blind? This has to be a new level of desperation!”. Fiona rolled her eyes, throwing her hands up. “What a waste of time. He’s probably just here to swindle us, like the rest of those frauds!”."If you can treat blindness, then why are you blind!". Mr. Randall asked."it in different cause", Zaiden simply said. Mrs. Hailey glared at the security guard, seething. “God, making excuses and you brought him in here? What kind of fool are you to believe him?”. The guard, flustered, stumbled over his words. “I… I didn’t realize he was blind. But he… he knew things about me. I swear, he’s… there’s something about him—”. Fiona scoffed. “Oh, really? Knew things? Like what". Zaiden took a deep breath, focusing his attention on Fiona.

    Cynthia recoiled, her face twisting in a mixture of disgust and shock as she hugged herself tightly. “You are insane if you think I’m just going to take my clothes off in front of you! This is a sick game—are you some kind of pervert?”. Zaiden remained calm, his voice unwavering. “Miss Cynthia, To truly understand the root of your blindness, I need to observe your body’s reactions. It’s the only way to assess the full extent of your condition.” Cynthia shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she tried to regain her composure. “This is absurd… I don’t trust you. How can I? You’re just blind as me, you don't even treat yours” She choked back a sob, clearly on the verge of breaking down. Seeing her distress, Zaiden softened his tone. “I understand your fear, Cynthia. but you have to trust me, take this as an appreciation for saving me". Cynthia frowned, "Save you?". Zaiden took a steadying breath, allowing his words to sink in. “At the restaurant, you paid for my bill a

    "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

    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

    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

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

    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

    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

"Crestview values strong partnerships, and we want to work with you directly. only you, not the other middle man, I will call the CEO directly and tell him this.

Cynthia couldn’t stop looking at Zaiden, admiration clear in her eyes."You were right," she said, her fingers tightening around his arm.

    That morning, Zaiden and Cynthia made their way to Crestview to finalize the partnership. As they entered the building, they were immediately met by Mitchell again. Mitchell crossed her arms, her lips curling into a mocking smile.“Well, well, what the hell are you two doing here?” she sneered. “Didn’t I make it clear yesterday that you shouldn’t bother coming?”.Cynthia frowned, confused. “Mitchell, we were asked to come today. the manager approved this this. Why are you acting like this?”.Mitchell let out a cruel laugh. “Oh, Cynthia, don’t act all innocent. I wasn’t here yesterday, so whatever lie you are trying to spin won’t work on me. , now you are trying to weasel your way in with lies?. Pathetic.”Cynthia’s voice wavered, but she kept her composure. “This isn’t a lie. We’re here because we were told to meet the board. Why are you making this so difficult?”.Mitchell went home early yesterday and didn't hear about the partnership. She even came late today, so she missed ever

  • Cynthia wants Zaiden.

    Cynthia then spoke, her voice firm yet calm. “You should all thank Zaiden instead. He made this possible by pushing me by believing in me when no one else did.” Mr. Randall frowned, his sharp eyes locking onto hers. “Zaiden did nothing, Cynthia. You did it all. You’ve proven your worth, not him.” Mrs. Hailey, always critical, added with a scoff, “Why lean your success on another person? Own it, Cynthia. You deserve the credit.” Zaiden, unfazed, leaned on his cane and smiled faintly. “Anyway,” he began, his voice steady, “what about what was promised? The 300 million dollars and allowing me to stay with Cynthia?” Mr. Randall sighed, rubbing his temples. “We’ve already decided to allow you to stay, Zaiden. As for the 300 million dollars, it will happen after Cynthia meets with the board and signs the documents officially.” Cynthia’s gaze hardened. “I’ve already done what you wanted,” she said, her tone rising slightly. “I lifted the percentage by an additional 30%.

    Cynthia was fuming, her frustration directed at Zaiden. As soon as they stepped into their home, she turned to him, her voice low but filled with anger. “Why did you have to drag me into this? You knew it would be impossible. You shouldn’t have made mouth about making it happen in a day”.Zaiden leaned on his cane, his expression calm despite her outburst. “Since you have submitted the file to the receptionist, things will work out, Cynthia. Trust me.”“Trust you?” Cynthia scoffed, her voice trembling. “I didn’t submit it, I forgot it, and you think Itt would work out because of some forgotten file."Before Zaiden could respond, Dustin and Fiona entered the living room, smirking as if they had been waiting for the drama to unfold.“Well, well,” Dustin began, leaning casually against the doorway. “By the looks of it, things didn’t go too well, huh?”.Fiona, lounging on the couch, chimed in with a mockingly sweet voice, “Oh, Cynthia, don’t tell me you your blind fiancé fail. he reall

How may I assist you?”Cynthia straightened her shoulders and spoke clearly. “I’m Cynthia Randall. I’m here to meet with the manager regarding an investment opportunity.”The receptionist nodded and picked up the phone. “One moment, please.”While waiting, Cynthia glanced at Zaiden, who stood calm and collected, as if he had already figured all of this out.After a brief conversation on the phone, the receptionist turned back to them. “I have made a call, but Ms. Cellinina is currently out of the country for business. However, Mr. Tao, our manager, will meet with you directly since he is also briefly not around. his

    Cynthia paced the room, her frustration palpable. She turned sharply to Zaiden, her voice laced with anger and disbelief. “How could you say that? How could you accept that insane challenge? One day? Are you out of your mind?”. Zaiden sat on the edge of the bed, his expression calm but thoughtful as he rest on his cane. “Because I know you can do it,” he said simply. Cynthia threw her hands up, incredulous. “Stop acting like you know me so well! We have only been together for three days! Three! You know nothing about me, Zaiden. I can’t do this!” Zaiden sighed, standing up and moving closer to her. “Cynthia, you’re underestimating yourself. Just believe in yourself for once.” She scoffed, crossing her arms. “So, all that bluffing of yours in the living room? That was just to tell me to believe in myself? You have no plan, no strategy, nothing? You’re telling me to pull this off on blind faith?” Zaiden looked at her seriously and said it like a joke. “Not entirely. I do have an

    When Zaiden and Cynthia arrived back at Mr. Randall’s estate, Mr. Randall stood at the doorway, his face a mask of forced composure. Mrs. Hailey was seated in the living room, her lips pursed, and Dustin leaned casually against the wall, smirking. Mr. Randall cleared his throat. “Zaiden,” he began, his voice cold but measured. “You have proven yourself useful tonight, but don’t mistake that for acceptance. The only reason you’re not being thrown out at this moment is because of your connection to Mr. Vincenzo. However, you’ll be accepted here partially. You are beneficial in your own way, but don’t overstep your boundaries. This is still my house.” Zaiden nodded. Cynthia clenched her fists but said nothing. Mr. Randall turned to Cynthia, his tone sharp. “Now, as for you, Cynthia, your work as the sales and PR manager will begin tomorrow. In two days, I expect you to find a way to increase our stock value by at least 30%.” Cynthia’s eyes widened. “What? Increase the stock by 30

Everyone was talking to him with polite while some were even trying to talk to him. “What makes you so close to Don?” Mr. Randall asked, his voice tinged with both intrigue and suspicion. Zaiden was about to respond when Dustin sneered, arms crossed, and a sly grin creeping onto his face. “What do you all think?” he said loudly, ensuring everyone could hear. “I’m sure they are using Zaiden for drug transportation and just protecting their means. That’s the only explanation.” A ripple of murmurs spread through the crowd, the tension growing palpable. Zaiden scoffed, his voice calm but cutting. “That’s absurd,” he said simply.
