2024-11-08 18:14:43Zaiden’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 was stranded and has no money with him. he felt helpless. Just then, a calm yet firm voice interrupted, slicing through the mocking laughter around Zaiden. “What right do any of you have to mock him?” she asked, her tone unwavering. The crowd turned, only to see a woman with dark glasses and a white cane standing tall. she was blind also. A ripple of laughter spread. “Look at this—another blind one,” someone muttered, followed by snickers. "She must have felt bad, one of his blind family can't pay for his bill!". The receptionist rudely said, "ma'am, except you pay for your fellow blind man bill, stay out of this!". Undeterred, she walked up to the counter, pulling out her wallet. She calmly handed over her card, paying the entire $10,000 bill without a word. A hush fell over the room. People gaped in surprise as the transaction went through, their taunts suddenly muted by the unexpected show of wealth. Then the blind woman faced the receptionist, "Also, I will come back for you for what you just did!". The receptionist was lost. At that moment, a man in a sharp suit entered, approaching her with a respectful bow. “Ma’am, you are being called to the meeting.” She nodded and turned to leave, but Zaiden, recovering from his shock, reached out. “Wait—thank you. I don’t know how to repay you, but… I would like to know your name.” The woman turned slightly, a soft, enigmatic smile gracing her lips. “It’s not necessary, I am a blind woman just like you, talking to each other will just be curse” she replied. With that, she walked away, her figure fading into the crowd, leaving Zaiden standing there. Zaiden felt bad and also impressed by how she intervened. "Hey, isn't that... Ms. Cynthia from the Randall family?" one woman whispered, glancing over her shoulder. "You know, the one who went blind a while back?" The other woman leaned in, her voice low. "Oh, I heard about her. Such a tragedy! She was stunning—had a fiancé and everything. Then, boom, her whole life just… fell apart.” The first woman nodded, her eyes wide with sympathy. “Yeah, her fiancé ran off as soon as she lost her sight. Can you believe it? And now no one wants to marry her.” “She was living such an inspiring life before that,” the second woman sighed. "The Randalls are desperate now. They even put out this wild offer—they will marry her to anyone who can heal her blindness, and they will pay heavily for it too. But no one’s been able to do it yet." The two women shook their heads, casting one last look in Cynthia’s direction. “Poor thing. Who would have thought someone like her could end up like this?”. Zaiden listened intently to the conversation, his pulse quickening as each word sank in. Ms. Cynthia… from the Randall family? The woman who had just paid his bill—the one who had stepped in when he was at his lowest—was the very same person these women were gossiping about. And from the sound of it, her life had taken a tragic turn, all because of her blindness. He felt a surge of excitement. Cynthia seemed kind-hearted; she had defended him without hesitation. Maybe she was the one he’d been waiting for, the one who might help him break his curse. And if anyone could restore her sight, it was him. Zaiden clenched his fists, a sense of determination burning within him. He was trained in Eastern medicine from the time he was four years old, long before his family tragedy. He’d never stopped studying, even after losing his own sight. If Cynthia’s blindness was a natural condition, he was confident he could treat it. He made up his mind. He would find Ms. Cynthia, offer her his help, and, in turn, maybe finally find the one person who could lift the curse from his life.

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

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. He spoke calmly,. “Like how you did an abortion this morning. you took the Ashlin pill!". Fiona froze, her face dra

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

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

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

All eyes turned to Mr. Randall, who stiffened at the mention of Mr. Don, the infamous leader of the Spearhead Gang.Mr. Randall’s frown deepened, his voice tinged with apprehension as he turned to Zaiden. “You didn’t cause any trouble, did you?” he asked sharply. “Because there’s no other reason for a man like Don to show up here.”Before Zaiden could respond, Collins stepped forward, a smug grin on his face. “Relax, everyone. He’s here because of me.”The room erupted in murmurs of disbelief, but Collins ignored them, puffing out his chest with pride. “I made a call to him. Mr. Don is here to honor us with his presence. ,”.Mr. Randall’s stern expression softened into approval. “Impressive, Collins. To command the attention of someone as powerful as Mr. Don—” He turned to Cynthia with a grin. “This only proves what I’ve been saying. Collins is the perfect choice for a son-in-law. No one else compares.”Dustin chimed in, his arms crossed and a sly smile playing on his lips. “He’s righ

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!

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.

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.

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”.

Aaron frowned, his irritation bubbling to the surface. “Who the heck is this guy, and what’s this nonsense about fluid in the lungs?” His sharp gaze shifted toward Zaiden.Dustin gestured mockingly at Zaiden. “That’s the million-dollar question we have been asking. 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. Waiting for hospital equipment will be too late also.”Aaron’s arrogance flared as he stood. “And who the hell are you. Are you a doctor?

Mr. Randall angrily stood up, his face flushed with rage. “How dare you, Zaiden, abuse Mr. Colton with such big grammar! You think throwing around medical jargon will make you seem credible?”. 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.
