George sat behind the mahogany desk, his movements deliberate and slow as he poured the wine, filling both glasses before passing one to Richard. The glass, delicate in its crystal clarity, caught the light as George slid it over to his grandson.Richard took the glass with a quiet nod, appreciating the gesture, though his mind was miles away. He raised it to his lips, taking a sip as he pondered the recent events that had brought him here. The rich flavor of the wine seemed to momentarily ground him, but before he could fully relax, his grandfather broke the silence, his voice steady but laced with concern.“What exactly happened, Richard?”The simple question pierced through Richard’s thoughts, forcing him to recall the horrific events. His brow furrowed as he began recounting the attack, speaking of the assassin’s cold demeanor, the violent confrontation, and the unmistakable feeling that death had been only a breath away. He didn't hold anything back, detailing every moment as best

Dominic Prescott lay on the luxurious king-sized bed, the soft sheets barely grazing his skin as he basked in the aftermath of an indulgent night. The VIP section of the five-star hotel felt like a private sanctuary, a place where the world’s rules didn’t apply. Beside him, a beautiful woman, her curves tantalizing and her features captivating, lay peacefully. She had surrendered to him—her body now a mere memory of their intense moments together.Sweat clung to Dominic's well-built body, glistening in the soft light that filtered through the room. It was clear that the night had been one of hedonistic pleasure, an indulgence in both power and lust. But despite the pleasure he had just experienced, his mind wandered elsewhere, consumed by the thought of Richard, the man who had dared to challenge him.His gaze shifted to Amelia, peacefully asleep beside him, her presence a stark contrast to the violent thoughts swirling in his mind. A smug, triumphant smirk slowly spread across Dominic

David Prescott sat in his opulent office, the weight of his recent troubles pressing down on him like a suffocating cloud. His mind churned with confusion and frustration. His company, the Prescott Group, was crumbling before his eyes, and yet he couldn’t understand why. He hadn’t made any missteps, hadn’t crossed any lines that would warrant such a devastating attack. His only recent quarrels had been with business rivals—rivals who, though they posed a challenge, certainly didn’t have the power to bring a $100 billion company to its knees. So who, then, was behind this catastrophic downfall?His thoughts spiraled in a haze of uncertainty, when suddenly, the shrill ring of his phone cut through the silence. Startled, David quickly answered, assuming it was an update from his company’s struggling departments. But the voice that greeted him on the other end was not what he expected. It was accusatory, sharp, and carried an underlying threat.“You have the nerve to send your bodyguards a

The sun hung low in the sky as three luxurious cars rolled up to the entrance of the university, their polished bodies gleaming in the late morning light. The soft hum of their engines filled the air as they came to a halt. Richard had exchanged his hospital clothes for a sleek yet casual outfit, one that subtly communicated wealth and style. His appearance was striking—sharp features, a confident posture, and a quiet but undeniable aura of power that seemed to captivate everyone around him.As the bodyguards stepped out of the vehicles in perfect synchrony, their black suits and formidable presence made the students stand to attention. The air around them thickened with tension; their intimidating stances told everyone that these were no ordinary bodyguards. These men exuded an aura of strength and capability, and they moved with a purposeful efficiency that made it clear they weren’t there for show—they were there to protect someone important.Richard, despite the extravagance surrou

The ladies in particular seemed to devour him with their eyes, their admiration bordering on fixation. It was uncomfortable. Richard could feel their stares—heavy, intense, as if they were silently appraising every inch of him. He shifted uncomfortably under the weight of their gaze, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn’t exactly tell them to stop staring, not without making the situation more awkward. So, he did what he could—he endured it, though every second of it grated on his nerves.Finally, the door to the lecture hall opened, and the lecturer entered, putting an end to the gossip and unwanted attention. The students quickly turned their focus to the front of the room, the tension in the air dissipating as the class began. For the next hour, the lecture proceeded as planned. Everyone was engaged, their minds fixed on the material at hand. With exams looming just around the corner, the importance of this lecture weighed heavily on the students, forcing them to gi

As Richard stood in the lecture hall, his gaze fixed on Dominic, the students around him began to observe the changes in his demeanor. The once-proud and invincible Dominic Prescott now appeared disheveled, his usual high and mighty attitude nowhere to be found. His clothes were rumpled, his hair unkempt, and there was a distinct air of someone who hadn't seen a shower in days. This stark contrast to his usual polished appearance didn’t go unnoticed by the students, who, only moments ago, had been captivated by his flashy arrival. Now, their focus shifted, and they began to mutter amongst themselves, the realization dawning that the man standing before them was not the untouchable figure he once was.Richard, always perceptive, studied Dominic closely. From the whispers around him, he pieced together the situation. Dominic's presence here, the way he knelt before Richard, was clear: he was begging for mercy. And Richard, after hearing the gossip from the students, had already come to a

After the unsettling encounter at the university, Richard was heading to a nearby restaurant to clear his mind. But fate had other plans. As he walked along the street, a car suddenly sped toward him, the engine roaring as it came dangerously close to hitting him. Richard’s heart raced, and his anger surged as the car barely missed running him over. He couldn’t let this slide. Not today. His temper flared, and he marched towards the car, determined to make the driver aware of how reckless they had been.When the car came to a stop, Richard approached, ready to voice his frustration. As the driver stepped out, he was taken aback to see a woman behind the wheel. She was striking—fair-skinned with blonde hair, dressed in expensive designer clothes that spoke of wealth and elegance. But despite her poised appearance, something in her demeanor suggested that she was distressed, her eyes filled with unease."What were you driving? Why the rush? You almost ran me over! You’ll have to compensa

Jasmine, the balding man standing in front of them, introduced himself with an air of authority. "My name is Jasmine. I'm the executive director of the hospital and also the Dean of the medical school. I’m here to treat old Mr. Hamilton."Ruth’s face lit up with recognition. "Ah, you are that famous Dr. Jasmine! The best doctor in Autumn Hill!" she exclaimed, clearly excited.Dr. Jasmine, with a modest smile, nodded. "More like one of the best, but yes, I am.""It's great to meet you, Dr. Jasmine. Please help my dad," Ruth said quickly, stepping aside to give him room. Clearly, she had much more faith in Dr. Jasmine than in any young man, especially Richard, whose skills were still being questioned."I’ll do my best," Dr. Jasmine assured her with a nod, but as he stepped closer to the bed, he noticed something that immediately made him frown. "What’s with these needles? What nonsense is this?"He began to reach for the needles, intent on removing them, but Laura quickly stopped him."W

Sebastian straightened. “Mr. Luggard, sorry to bother you—but I felt it was important. This young man here,” he gestured at Richard, “came to the event without an invitation. He’s not on the guest list. I believe he snuck in, and considering the nature of tonight’s celebration, I thought it best to alert you immediately.”Richard turned toward Mr. Luggard. “I was invited. By Eliza. Personally.”Luggard looked him over, expression unreadable. “What’s your name, son?”“Richard.”“Richard…?”Richard paused. His instincts told him to keep his identity sealed, to stay under the radar. So he simply said, “Just Richard, sir.”Sebastian chuckled under his breath, shaking his head.Luggard turned to one of the security guards. “Check the guest list.”The guard pulled out a digital tablet and began scrolling through names. After a moment, he shook his head.“No Richard listed, sir. No one by that name.”Luggard’s lips thinned. He turned back to Richard. “I’m afraid I can’t allow guests without

“Hey, you’re Richard, right?” Sebastian’s voice was smooth, friendly, but it carried an edge that made it clear this wasn’t just a casual greeting.Richard turned, slightly startled, his hand instinctively reaching for the drink in his hand. He didn’t recognize the man approaching him, but the tone in his voice made it clear that he wasn’t here to chat about the weather.“Yeah, that’s me,” Richard said, his voice steady. “Can I help you?”Sebastian smiled, but it was cold and practiced. “Oh, I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Sebastian. I’m a friend of Andrew’s. We’ve been hearing a lot about you.”Richard’s eyes flicked for a moment, confusion flashing in his mind. “Andrew?”Sebastian’s smile widened, but there was no warmth behind it. “Yeah, Eliza’s boyfriend. You know him, right?”At the mention of Andrew, Richard’s stomach tightened. This was the part of the night that had been looming over him ever since he’d heard about Eliza’s boyfriend. From what he’d gathered, Andrew was

Richard walked up to the grand entrance of the mansion, and as the doors opened, he couldn’t help but let out a quiet breath of disbelief. The sprawling estate before him was a far cry from the modest apartment he had once lived. The mansion looked really majestic, its towering columns and ornate stonework giving off an air of grandeur that made Richard feel like he was stepping into another world—one that he wasn’t quite sure he belonged in.He couldn’t help but feel a pang of doubt as he looked around, taking in the perfectly manicured lawns, the lush greenery that framed the estate like an elegant painting, and the long, winding driveway leading up to the entrance. Everything here screamed wealth. Opulence. Power.“Is this really where Eliza lives?” he muttered to himself, almost in disbelief.He made his way up the stone steps toward the grand front doors, his mind still buzzing with the events of the day, and how much had already changed in his life. Yet tonight, the contrast was

Later that afternoon, Richard found himself at home, sprawled across the couch, lost in his thoughts. The weight of the day had left him tired, but his mind kept circling back to the same thing: the events at the restaurant, the new responsibilities he had taken on, and, most of all, the enigmatic Eliza. There was something about her that he couldn’t quite put his finger on. He wasn’t one to be easily swayed by a pretty face or someone’s charm, but there was a depth to her that intrigued him, pulling him toward her even though he didn’t fully understand why.As he drifted in and out of thought, the sharp ring of his phone cut through the silence. He glanced at the screen, seeing Eliza’s name flashing in bold letters. For a moment, he hesitated, the temptation to ignore the call hanging heavy in the air. He knew exactly what she was going to say—it was going to be the same insistence, the same subtle pressure to get him to go to the party.His finger hovered over the decline button.Bu

Richard turned to see who it was, and his eyes met those of the same woman he had bumped into earlier that day—Eliza. Her calm grace was undeniable, even more so in the classroom where her presence seemed to draw all attention. She moved with purpose, her every step deliberate, as if she knew the weight her presence carried. For a brief moment, her eyes met Richard’s, and for the second time that day, he felt a flicker of recognition between them. But before he could process it further, she began walking towards him.Just as it seemed she was about to take the seat beside him, the teacher walked in, breaking the tension. The class filled with the rustling of books and papers, students settling into their seats. Eliza, with a final glance in Richard’s direction, chose a seat a few rows behind him instead.But Charles and Oliver were watching closely, and as soon as the teacher began the lesson, they leaned in toward Richard, their curiosity palpable.“So, what’s the deal?” Charles whis

Richard had barely managed to clear his head from the emotional storm of the previous day. The restaurant, the confrontation with Trevor, and the unexpected promotion of Rose were still fresh in his mind. As he walked across the campus grounds the next day, his focus was elsewhere, consumed by the weight of his decisions. He barely noticed the passing students, absorbed in his thoughts about the future.That was until he collided with someone—a soft, unexpected impact that pulled him out of his reverie. He immediately stumbled back, instinctively raising his hands in apology."I'm so sorry!" he said, his voice calm but laced with genuine concern.The woman he had bumped into was stunning. Her features were delicate, almost ethereal, but what stood out most was the serenity that surrounded her, as if she existed in a world of her own, untouched by the chaos around her. She smiled, catching herself just before the fall, and waved it off, her eyes twinkling with amusement."It’s okay," s

Trevor stumbled back, his expression quickly morphing into one of forced composure. “Richard, I—this isn’t what it looks like. I was just talking to Rose, trying to understand what’s going on with her. I—” “Don’t lie to me,” Richard interrupted, stepping into the room, his tone sharp as a blade. “I’ve seen enough.” Rose sat frozen, too stunned to speak. She had heard Richard’s voice, but in this moment, the room felt suffocating, as if she were trapped between two opposing forces. Richard’s arrival should have been a relief, but now she found herself caught between them—between the man who had once been her ally and the man who had tried to control her every move. Richard’s eyes never left Trevor. “I know exactly what you’ve been doing, Trevor. You’ve been manipulating her. Pressuring her. And if you think for one second that I’ll allow this to continue, you’re gravely mistaken.” Trevor’s jaw clenched, his usual calm demeanor shattered. “You don’t understand,” he spat, taking a st

The next day, Rose returned to the restaurant. It felt surreal, as if she was stepping back into a life she had tried so hard to leave behind. The familiar smells of sautéed onions, sizzling steaks, and freshly baked bread filled her senses, stirring up memories she wasn’t sure she was ready to face. But the moment her foot crossed the threshold, everything changed.Her colleagues greeted her with surprised smiles, open arms, and enthusiastic chatter. The warmth they offered was genuine, even though there was an undertone of curiosity about her sudden return. The news had spread quickly through the kitchen, and they had all wondered how she could come back after the way she had left.The first person to approach her was Maya, her old friend, now looking more confident behind the pass.“Rose! You’re back!” Maya said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “I didn’t think we’d see you again. You really came back.”Rose smiled faintly, a soft, nervous laugh escaping her lips. “I didn’t thin

“There is still hope—but only if we act fast,” Richard said, his voice steady yet urgent. His eyes locked onto Rose’s, a flicker of determination in his gaze. “Get me a quarter pound of caterpillar, a quarter pound of cockroach, and a quarter pound of spider. Fry them, then place them in an airtight container.”Rose stood frozen, her mind reeling. She stared at Richard, her expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion. She had no idea what to make of his words. The thought of such bizarre ingredients was both unsettling and baffling. Was this really the way to save her mother?“Is that all you need?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly. She wanted to believe him—desperately—but everything felt too strange, too foreign.Richard met her gaze without hesitation. “Yes, this is just the first treatment,” he said calmly. “Once you have those, I’ll also need the back of a mango, the seed of a watermelon, cashew nuts, and water from a watermelon. Those will be used to prepare a concocti
