Divine Healer
The sun was slowly setting, and the moon was getting ready to shine its rays on Berryfort, the City of attraction in the country of Solana. In one of the busy streets of Berryfort was a foursquare building that had existed earlier than the others around it. Inside the building was a man. Not just an ordinary man, but one who was so gifted that both the rich and poor traveled from faraway countries to queue to see him.That evening was no different than the others, and Lucas was seated patiently while he waited for the next person he was to attend to. âHello, Doctor Lucas.â A beautiful lady in her mid-thirties walked into the room with a smile. It was obvious that she was very rich as the pearls hanging on her neck and the scent of her cologne spoke volumes of luxury.âMiss Dante. You are back.â Lucas was surprised to see the lady, but it wasnât a situation he wasnât used to as most of the ladies who frequented his workspace were there to flirt with him even though they kne
Unworthy Leech
Lucas regained consciousness about thirty minutes later only to realize that he was in the middle of flames that were consuming the building.Some of the chemicals he used for medication were flammable, causing the fire to erupt rapidly and blocking any means of escape. But he found a way to run out of the building without getting burnt while he coughed so rapidly due to the smoke that got into his lungs. He managed to take his wifeâs present while he staggered out of the building. He was loved by so many people in the City that it was difficult for him to know if he had any enemy who would have been capable of committing such atrocity. Even in his predicament, Lucas decided to head home to his wife with the gift he bought for her tightly held in his hands. The fire had alerted a lot of people who came out that night, bewildered at how massive and fierce it was. Many thought that the Divine Healer was dead since no one saw him leaving the building, and the fire was already
Real Identity
Flashes of the memory of the deadly night encounter Lucas had kept on reminiscing inside his head. It seemed like he was having a terrible nightmare. Suddenly, his eyes opened widely. He gasped instantly. âHe is awake! Doctor! He is awake!â The nurse who was watching over him ran out of the ward to get the Doctor.Lucas couldnât feel many parts of his body, especially his legs. An oxygen mask was placed over his mouth and nose. He tried to say something, but it was as if he had lost his voice just like he lost his wife and everything he had built for over five years to the fire. The Doctor walked in not long after alongside the nurse. They looked so shocked at how fast he regained consciousness. âThis is a miracle, Lucas! I already told your brother that I wasnât sure you would make it!ââMy brother?â Lucas coughed loudly, and the Doctor quickly removed the mask from his face.âTake it easy, Lucas! You will be fine. I am Doctor Arnold. You were attacked by unidentified me
Instant Billionaire
All the corners of the premises of Springfort Villa were occupied by cars of different shapes, colors, and sizes. The entire City knew about the event that was about to take place in the mansion, but only the elite could attend. The guards had been instructed to send out anyone who wasnât looking luxurious enough for the party.There were CEOs, business associates to the Avillas, political acquaintances, and other notable men in the society. Dignitaries were all over the place, ready to witness the wedding between two of the most powerful families in Berryfort City.However, whispers about the whereabouts of Jemimaâs ex-husband who had suddenly disappeared were gradually becoming audible among some of the curious guests in the hall.âI heard that Lucas cheated on Miss Avilla, thatâs the reason why he divorced her.â A woman dressed in a fancy blue suit whispered to the middle-aged man standing beside her while she sipped some wine from her champagne flute. âHush, Mrs. Adam. W
Consequences
Caius remained on the floor, panting while more blood oozed from his nostrils and the injuries on his face. Jemima was frozen. She couldnât say a word and wasnât sure of how to handle the situation. âNo! Donât leave! The wedding has not yet started!â Her panic increased as she watched all the guests leave one after the other. Even the minister realized that he was in the wrong place. No one wanted to be part of the calamity that had befallen her. âWhat have you done, Lucas?! You just ruined my wedding!â Tears fell from her eyes, and the only person who was there with her apart from Caius was her mother. âI always knew that you were bad luck for my daughter! Why donât you just let her be?!â Laila Avilla was furious at that moment, she could no longer remain calm after watching from a corner. âMrs. Avilla? I almost didnât see you.â Lucas sniggered at the middle-aged lady, the memories of how bad she treated him were still intact. âYou were never good for my daughter! She o
Only Hope
Logan was pissed off at the middle-aged man who was holding onto his brotherâs trousers. He wanted to push him aside, but Lucas gestured to him at once to let the man be.âWho are you?ââMy name is Dexter Buffet, Sir! You have to save my daughter! You are our only hope! Please!â Lucas remained calm, staring at Dexter whose eyes were almost filled with tears that were ready to drop at any moment. âWhat is wrong with your daughter?â Logan asked, seeing how sad the man looked.âShe was badly injured after an accident! Nobody wants her! She has suffered greatly! You have to help me! She is very important to me!â The tears finally left Dexterâs eyes, and he didnât even bother about the pain in his knees. Lucas had a nostalgic feeling as he thought about the manâs request.Three years earlier, Lord Orson Avilla came to him in tears. The old man pleaded that he save his granddaughter Jemima who was suffering from a strange sickness.All the Doctors in the City had tried and failed
The Condition
Nothing was so pitiful than the tears that trickled down Daisyâs face. Lucas could see the pain in her eyes, evidence that she had suffered greatly at the hands of her family.He wondered why they treated her so badly, but then he decided that he was going to help her.âI will help you. Donât worry.â He promised with a soothing voice which was accompanied by a reassuring smile.He turned to face Dexter and his wife, and then he said audibly;âI have one condition before I agree to help your daughter.âThe smile on Dexterâs face vanished at once, and he realized that something didnât seem right.âIs there a problem? Is anything wrong?ââNot at all, Mr. Buffet. I will cure her but on one condition.ââWhat condition?â Dexter asked, not certain that he was ready for the answer to the question.âThat you will let me marry her. It seems no one wants her, but I think I want to marry her.ââWhy? Look at her, she looks like a monster! Why would a handsome man like you want to marry
Apex Ventures
âI am sorry, Sir. But as much as your face looks a bit familiar, I do not remember ever meeting you.â Daisy said after staring for so long.Lucas sighed, and then he decided to reveal his identity to her and free her from her lingering suspense.âFive years ago, you helped a young man who had just come to this City in search of greener pastures. You saved him from being robbed, and offered him some money.ââOh, yes. I remember. That happened a long time ago, the man was standing in the middle of the road very late at night. I was on my way home from a business meetingâŚâ Daisy nodded as soon as she remembered.âWell, that man you saved is me. I am sure that you donât remember my face because it was very late at night.â âNo way!â Daisy gasped. She figured that Lucas was telling the truth when she looked closer. âItâs you!ââYes, Daisy. Itâs me. I searched for you after that night just to thank you, but the only thing I could remember was the name on your number plate. BuffetâŚâ
Reclaim
Pedro looked like he had seen a ghost, but it wasnât long before he managed to get a hold of himself.âHow are you cured, Daisy?! You are meant to be in a wheelchair!â Pedro was still stunned, he looked at Daisyâs healed body, there was no scar to indicate that she had a terrible fire accident. âI am here to reclaim my company, Pedro. I need you to step aside.â Daisy was direct with her demand. She didnât have time to exchange words with Pedro who was part of her familyâs negligence.âWhat?! No way!â Pedro refused at once, he was enjoying so much power and wealth as the CEO of the company, and he wasnât ready to let go.âFather asked me to take over when you got yourself burned in that fire. There is no way I am disobeying his instruction.ââThis company belongs to me, Pedro! Itâs either you leave or I will be forced to throw you out!â Daisy was gradually losing her patience, but Pedro was too blind to see it.âYou have lost this company, Daisy! Did you ever think of how it has
