DISBELIEF "My wife? How dare you, Jefferson?" Jeremy thundered, his hands stomping hard on the examination table.The anger he felt within him was palpable and if they were not in the police station, Jeremy was sure he would have dealt with Jefferson for thinking he would involve his wife in the matter."I won't tolerate you thinking you can drag my wife's name in front of me," Jeremy threatened, his eyes glowing with annoyance and anger.He wouldn't tolerate any words that would be derogatory to Avery's image. She was his wife and should be respected as such."I'm not tarnishing her name, I'm just bringing another angle to the investigation," Jefferson replied with certainty. He wasn't going to back down from what he had said. He was still very sure that Avery should be asked some questions and he only wished that Jeremy would think about considering his wishes."Another angle, you say? You're practically suggesting that Avery is the culprit. How stupid do you think I am," Jeremy re

JEREMY'S DECISION The next day, Jeremy made the decision to call in the police and ordered that Jefferson and all the staff involved be arrested for further investigation.He didn't want to be led by emotion and wanted the law to help him find the truth.He walked into the investigation room where Jefferson was already waiting to be questioned by him. He wanted to give him the opportunity to be open with him now that he was in the station."Jefferson, are you ready to talk now?" Jeremy asked, his eyes devoid of any emotion and narrowed as he waited for the answer Jefferson had to give."What do you want me to say, you've already concluded that I'm the culprit, what else can I say," Jefferson asked in a state of despair."If you were in my shoes, you would do the same thing I did. Let's not get sentimental here," Jeremy said as he rested his back on the chair."Did you just say I shouldn't add sentiment? Are you serious? I can't believe what I'm hearing." Jefferson replied angrily. Th

DOUBT"This is no longer a coincidence, it's either you Jefferson or the people working on the project, if not who else," Jeremy said angrily as he paced his office."Are you saying I will betray you? I have been working for you for a long time, why do you think I'm going to betray you now," Jefferson interjected sadly. He didn't think Jeremy would turn on him that easily."What do you want me to say, this is our exact blueprint, so how did they get their hands on it, who gave it to them or was there someone else who had access to it that I do not know about," Jeremy replied angrily.It was just him, his wife and Jefferson, and he believes that Avery could never do anything to hurt him. That leaves Jefferson or his workers."This is so unbelievable," Jefferson groaned in irritation. He couldn't believe that the day would come when he would have a mistrust problem with Jeremy, but it's happening now and it's about their big project."You and I both know that only the three of us knew a

JEREMY'S RAGE The moment Avery fell asleep, Jeremy gently left the bed and sauntered into his study, his hand gripping the phone.He couldn't shake the anxiety that was building up inside him, and as much as he wanted to wait until the next morning to confront Jefferson, his patience was wearing thin.He dialled Jefferson's number and with the sound of the phone ringing, Jeremy's desperation washed over him, the images from the news flashed through his mind, his heart pounding incessantly, the betrayal was more than he would bear."Hey boss," Jefferson said from the other end, his voice calm and steady, nothing out of the ordinary."Jefferson, have you seen the news?" Jeremy asked, his voice was cold and spoke of the emotion he was trying to suppress inside.He went straight to the point, his hands clenched into fists at his side."I was about to call you boss, I was just watching the news," Jefferson replied, his voice firm and laced with a sincerity that Jeremy couldn't ignore."Wh

BETRAYALJeremy was chatting with Avery in the living room when the news on the TV caught his attention, his heart pounding at the words on the screen.STAR TECHNOLOGY HAD JUST UNLEASHED THE LATEST AI TECHNOLOGY ON THE WORLD."I can't believe this, How's this even possible?" Jeremy declare in disbelief, his eyes unable to leave the screen as he desperately hoped it wasn't true.His hands were clenched into fists at his side as he stared lost at the news.Avery, on the other hand, was dumbfounded by the AI technology on the screen; the features and components were exactly the same one she had seen blue silver company technologists working on before they traveled for their vacation in New York."How is this even possible Jeremy? this is the exact robot technology I saw the technologists working on the last time I visited blue silver company," Avery whispered her concerns, her eyes fixed on Jeremy, wondering where the glitches had come from."I don't know darling, this is a big surprise,

RELIEFTheir flight was delayed at the airport and when they finally arrived in their country, their luggage was packed into the back of the car."I want us to go and see my dad in hospital, it's been a while since I've seen him because of the feud between us, so I want to see him and get this weight off my chest," Jeremy muttered as he looked at his wife Avery."I know the trip was more than we expected, but it's good that we know now that your father was never the bad guy, don't stress yourself, everything will be fine," Avery said with concern in her voice.They got into the car with their daughter Miya and drove to the hospital. Once there, they all went into the hospital and met the nurse on duty at the nurses' station."Hello ma'am, I'd like to see my father please," Jeremy mentioned to the nurse."Who is your father, sir?" the nurse replied, lifting her head to look at the young man standing before her."My father is Mr Blue Nathaniel and he has been admitted here for some tim

Immediately the room fell into silence the moment the heavy footsteps grew louder.Then everyone turned instinctively, their eyes widening in shock when they saw who had just entered.It was the General.His presence was commanding, his expression as unreadable as ever, yet there was an air of imposing authority around him that made it impossible to ignore him.Despite the gasps of surprise from some of the family members, the mayor was not fazed. Instead, he marched straight toward the General, his face twisted in frustration, his voice taut with restrained anger.“I have to say, General,” he began, his voice carrying the weight of his anger he had being trying to Suppress, “I am beyond disappointed.”Upon hearing what the Mayor your said.The General’s expression remained cold, but his piercing gaze narrowed slightly, signaling that he was listening.“With all my connections,” the mayor continued, his arms gesturing with irritation, “with all the capable doctors and specialists I co

Damien didn’t even flinch.He simply tilted his head, his eyes calm, his expression unchanged.“I have no problem with that,” he said, matter-of-factly, meeting the mayor’s burning glare with unsettling ease. “If I’m lying, take me in. I’ll face the consequences, but I'm right what will you do.”A ripple of shock went through the room.Some of them exchanged wary glances, suddenly unsure. Others were still fuming, their pride refusing to let them consider the possibility.But all eyes turned to Valentina now.At that moment the room pulsed with tension, the weight of the moment settling like a heavy storm cloud. The mayor’s fists clenched, his jaw tight, his breathing shallow with barely contained rage.“Fine,” he finally gritted out, his voice dangerously low. “If— and I mean if— you’re right, Damien, whatever you ask for, I will provide. Anything within my power.”But then, he leaned in slightly, his eyes burning with cold fury.“But if you're wrong...” His lips curled, his voice d

At that moment Valentina’s heart pounded in her chest. Her fingers twitched at her sides, and for a moment, she felt as though the walls of the room were closing in on her.‘How did Demian know?’She had been careful, hiding it with expensive creams, layering on makeup to cover the redness. Even her own family had never noticed.But this man—this nobody—had just exposed her in front of everyone.Her breath hitched, but she quickly forced herself to straighten up, tilting her chin with an air of indignation.“You’re talking nonsense!” she snapped, her voice sharper than before. “How dare you accuse me of something so disgusting?”The murmurs grew louder, whispers swirling through the room like wildfire.“Boy, you’ve gone too far!” one of the men barked. “How could you say something like that about Valentina?”“Have you no shame?” another woman added, her voice filled with disgust.Valentina gritted her teeth, her nails digging into her palms. She could feel their eyes on her, the wei

As soon as Demian spoke, the entire room fell silent for a brief moment. Then, the whispers began.“Did he just say he can save her?”“Who does he think he is?”“I thought he was a cleaner when he walked in.”“There’s no way this guy is a doctor. Just look at him!”“Maybe the general made a mistake.”“Or maybe he’s playing some sick joke. Mother is dying, and he’s standing here acting confident.”Soft murmurs spread through the room like wildfire, doubt laced in every word. The way they glanced at him—some with sneers, others with pity, and a few with pure disbelief—was almost laughable. They didn’t just doubt him; they had already dismissed him.“Does he even have a medical license?” one of the younger men scoffed under his breath, arms crossed over his chest.“He probably watched a few online videos and now thinks he’s a doctor,” another chuckled.One of the older women frowned deeply, shaking her head. “This is a life-and-death matter. Why would the general send someone like... hi

Damien sat on the couch, the light casting soft shadows across the room. His fingers drummed lightly against the armrest, lost in thought, when his phone suddenly rang, snapping him out of his daze. He picked it up without looking at the caller ID, his voice steady.“Hello?”The deep voice on the other end sent a slight ripple through him—it was the general.“Dr.Damien,” the general’s voice was firm, direct. “I have some bad news.”Immediately Damien straightened, his grip on the phone tightening. “What is it?”The general exhaled, the sound heavy with frustration. “The supplier. The one who was supposed to send me the herbs to replace what was broken—he’s refusing to give it up.”Upon hearing what the general just said.Damien’s brows furrowed. “Why?”“The herb is rare, Damien. The last of its kind in his possession,” the general explained. “He hasn’t been able to procure another one, and there’s no guarantee he will anytime soon.”At that moment Damien’s lips pressed into a thin

At that moment Jessica's lips parted slightly, but no words came out. A creeping uncertainty settled in her chest as Victoria's words replayed in her head. She then remembered, she Didn't even ask Damien if he was the one who saved her? Her brows furrowed, and she swallowed hard.She had been so sure, so convinced. But now… now the doubt clawed at her, whispering a question she hadn’t considered before. ‘What if I just assumed he was the one?’She murmured to herself.She glanced at Victoria, who was watching her closely, arms still crossed, waiting for her to crack. Jessica’s heartbeat quickened.‘Could it be that someone else saved me?’The thought unsettled her. She remembered seeing Damien’s face before she passed out.‘But… did I really? Or was I just hoping it was him?’Her mind scrambled through that terrifying night, replaying it like a fragmented dream. The sounds of her own heavy breathing. The fear constricting her chest. The darkness. Then… a figure, strong and swift, cut

His eyes settled on her, warmth returning to them. “Malisa... I feel—” He paused, flexing his fingers before touching his chest. “I feel... strong again.”“Father?” Malisa's father stepped forward, voice shaking. His hands trembled as he touched his father's wrist, feeling the strong, steady pulse.Immediately Malisa‘s grandfather sat up straight. No wheezing. No tremors. He looked at his hands in wonder.Kelly, who minutes ago had called Raymond a fraud, stood frozen. The blood drained from his face as he watched his uncle move with ease. His mouth opened, but no words came.“How...is this even possible.” Dr Nathaniel. stumbled back. Twenty years of medical experience hadn't prepared him for this. He checked the monitors again, rubbing his eyes. “These readings... they're better than before he got sick.”At that moment Malisa's father looked at Raymond, really looked at him for the first time. Gone was the arrogant businessman who'd dismissed him. Now he just stood there, strugg

At that moment Malisa stepped forward, her tone firm. “Dr. Nathaniel, he’s the only one who has made any progress. Grandfather’s condition was deteriorating before he started.”Dr. Nathaniel scoffed. “That Nonsense. Traditional medicine like this is unreliable. This so-called treatment is reckless at best. I won’t allow my patient to be subjected to unproven methods.”However Raymond’s expression remained calm, but his voice carried a warning. “Removing those needles now will put him in immediate danger. His body is still adjusting.”Dr. Nathaniel ignored him and turned to Malisa’s father. “Do you trust an amateur, or do you trust the years of expertise I bring? If we let this continue, we may never stabilize him again.”At that moment Malisa's father hesitated, uncertainty flickering across his face. The rest of the family, still skeptical of Raymond, murmured in agreement.“Pull them out,” Malisa’s father finally ordered.Malisa’s eyes widened. “No! Don’t—”Before she could sto

Not long after Malisa and Raymond arrived at the hospital.The air in the VIP ward was heavy with the scent of antiseptic, the hushed whispers of doctors and nurses filling the space as Raymond and Malisa stepped inside.Malisa’s grandfather lay motionless on the hospital bed. A group of specialists stood nearby, their faces etched with frustration and uncertainty.“We’ve done everything we can,” one of the doctors muttered, shaking his head. “We still can’t determine the root cause.”At that moment Malisa’s brows furrowed in concern before she turned to Raymond. “Let him take a look,” she said firmly. Upon hearing what Malisa just said.A murmur rippled through the room as skeptical glances were exchanged. Then, a sharp voice cut through the tension.At that moment her cousin Kelly looked Raymond up and down, immediately his jaw tightened. “Malisa, you want this thing to have a look at grandfather?”he said with a bitter mockery before facing Raymond "Are you a doctor?”Raymond

As quickly as the thought came, it vanished, replaced by an unshakable certainty.“I can do this,” he thought, his jaw tightening with resolve. “This technique was meant for someone with exceptional talent. And I’m one of the rare few who can control it.”A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and in that instant, his entire aura changed. It was as if something deep inside him had awakened—a force so powerful that the air around him seemed to grow heavier. A chilling pressure radiated from him, enough to make an ordinary person instinctively step back.Yet, beneath this newfound power, he could still feel it—that invisible shackle in his mind, something holding him back, suppressing what he had lost. His memories were locked away behind this barrier, and until he broke through, he would never truly know who he was.But he had a lead now. The information he got from the ring had revealed a path: to undo the seal, he needed ten ancient herbs, ones so precious they were almost impossible t

Raymond frowned, his skepticism clear. “A key? To what? It’s just a ring.”Immediately Drake shook his head, a faint smile touching his lips as if he had expected this response. “It contains energy, Master Raymond. A power your family has safeguarded for generations. But it’s dormant—waiting for the right moment and the right person to awaken it.”Hearing what Drake just said, Raymond’s confusion deepened, his gaze shifting between the ring and Drake. “And you think I’m the right person?”“I know you are,” Drake replied firmly. “But to access it, we need something only you can provide—your blood.”Raymond stiffened, leaning back slightly. “My blood? What are you planning to do with it?”“Only what’s necessary,” Drake said calmly. “The ring was crafted to respond to your lineage. A single drop of your blood will awaken it. Trust me—this isn’t something to fear. It’s something to embrace.”However Raymond hesitated, the weight of Drake’s words pressing down on him. He glanced at the

Raymond leaned back slightly, his brows furrowing as he studied the man standing before him.Drake’s demeanor was unexpected—calm, composed, and, surprisingly, respectful. For someone with his reputation, Raymond had anticipated arrogance or at least a hint of superiority.Then Raymond opened his mouth to speak, but before he could form the words, Drake raised a hand, his expression unchanging but firm. “Master. Raymond,” he began, his voice low and steady, “this isn’t the place for the conversation we need to have. I’d prefer we continue this in private.”Hearing what Drake just said, Raymond’s eyes narrowed slightly, suspicion flickering across his face. “Private? What’s this about?”Drake’s lips curved into a faint, polite smile. “All will be explained, I assure you. But for now, let’s move to a more appropriate setting.”Raymond hesitated before nodding curtly. “Lead the way.”He had a strong feeling that whatever Drake was about to say had something to do with his past.Drake n
