21. Indebted forever
Felicia swore that she had no intention of harming Edgar Warrington and looked helplessly at Robert."Your secretary confirmed that Dr. Sonya was the real Miracle Maker. How could she make a mistake?” she prodded, pleading with him to step up.But Robert already knew that Dr. Sonya was nothing but an impostor, trained to play the role of the Miracle Maker. “Fetch me that lying bitch,” Josiah Warrington ordered his men. His guards caught Dr. Sonya at the main entrance as she was trying to sneak away. They dragged her right back to the third floor, where the Warrington family was waiting for her.“Dr. Sonya Aberdeen, or should I say the fake Miracle Maker!” Elizabeth greeted her with a round of fake applause. “Did you really think it would be that easy to fool us?”“I…am the real Miracle Maker. You are making a big mis—”“Just shut up already!” Josiah rebuked, forcing her to swallow the lies she had carefully prepared. “I trusted you to treat my father, and you betrayed us. Do you hav
22. The Salasar influence
Josiah saw things through to the end, ensuring Robert, Felicia, and Dr. Sonya were handed over to the cops.With one phone call, he cancelled Dr. Sonya’s medical license, and with another, he got in touch with the assistant commissioner of police, instructing him to handle things personally.Robert and Felicia were taken to the nearby police station and thrown into a holding cell while Dr. Sonya was brought before the chief medical council for a malpractice trial.“You don’t know who you are messing with!” Felicia shouted from her holding cell. “I am Felicia Rashford, the CEO of Femme Fatale. I demand to see my lawyer!”The assistant commissioner, a burly man with a bushy black mustache, glared at Felicia.“Oh, we know who you are. But you aren’t getting any lawyer until tomorrow.”“You can’t do this with me. That is completely illegal!” Felicia shouted. “I know my rights. You hear me?”“Scream all you want, but your rights mean nothing here,” the assistant commissioner replied plainly
23. Kronos Tech
At the other end of the city, Alex and Dr. Lucy were seated comfortably in the back seat of a black sedan that was driving down Remington Avenue. Their destination was the head office of the city’s largest new-age pharmaceutical company—Kronos Tech.“I am glad the Warringtons got Robert and your ex-wife arrested. Those two will get plenty of time to reconsider their life choices behind bars,” Dr. Lucy said.“Felicia’s mother is still out there, and Robert’s family is also quite influential,” Alex replied, glancing at the time on his watch. “I doubt they will stay in the lockup for too long. The law never troubles those who can afford to twist it.”Dr. Lucy turned silent for a moment, but then something else sparked in her mind.“I bet Dr. Sonya Aberdeen’s confession can get those convicted!” she exclaimed excitedly.But Alex had jumped through plenty of legal hoops in the past to trust in the law anymore.He knew Dr. Aberdeen’s confession would mean little when the people in power star
24. All out of generosity
Samantha invited Alex and Dr. Lucy to her cabin on the seventh floor and instructed her secretary to cancel all appointments and meetings for the day.“I have important matters to discuss with my guests, so please make sure I am not disturbed. If something urgent comes up, just consult with the CFO and inform the board.”Since neither Samantha’s secretary nor the receptionist had any clue what Alex meant to the company, they were left utterly baffled by her instructions.“Who exactly is that man?” the receptionist asked in a low whisper. “And why is he so important?”“I have no idea who he is, but if Ms. Atkins was ready to leave the meeting midway, it means that man has more power over this company than anyone on the board,” the secretary answered, staring in their direction as they disappeared inside the elevator.Once they reached Samantha’s office, Alex got straight down to business while Dr. Lucy listened carefully and quietly.“I think Mr. Palmer must have already informed you th
25. A rift between the Rashfords
Back inside New Hope Medical Centre, Mrs. Rashford was arguing with the visiting doctor, her motherly instincts temporarily taking hold of her cruel heart.“My son has been lying there for hours! He needs treatment!” she bawled, threatening to sue the doctor who was still checking the patient’s medical reports.“All the doctors are doing all that they can. But we need healthy plasma from a donor to stabilize the patient’s vitals,” he replied.Mrs. Rashford fumed with rage and wrung her hands like a madwoman. “Then find a damn donor. We are in a hospital, for God’s sake. This shouldn’t be difficult at all!”The doctor looked crestfallen. For the last one hour, he had been trying to drill some sense into Rashford, but without any success.“Your son needs AB-negative blood. That’s already in short supply, and to make things more complicated, his body can’t accept it without the antigen. Please try to under—”“I don’t care about your medical mumbo jumbo. It’s your job to arrange a donor. L
26. Rachel Dawson’s dilemma
Inside the ninth-floor boardroom of Kronos Tech, the meeting had resumed after a short break, and Samantha Atkins was seated right across the table facing Rachel Dawson.Rachel’s assistant quickly reminded them of the topic of discussion, repeating what her boss had already talked about.“Sierra Beauty has already doubled its sales over the last quarter, all thanks to its partnership with Kronos Tech. And we would like to renew our old bonds and continue this great friendship. Ms. Atkins, we admire your honesty and fierce competitiveness. Together we can scale even greater heights.”Samantha listened to everything attentively, but hardly let the flattering words affect her.“It was a pleasure working with Sierra Beauty. However, we cannot renew this partnership without a few changes,” she replied politely.Although no one in the room seemed too bothered, Rachel sensed something was wrong, and her expression immediately turned serious.“What do you have in mind?” she asked before her as
27. Captain Mason Williams
That same night, as the rest of the household fell asleep, Alex stepped out of his mansion and made his way to the beach. The faint moonlight glittering on the frothy waters calmed his mind as he looked into the distance. The clear sky was dotted with stars, and a cool breeze was blowing from the east, carrying with it the scent of ripe apricots.It was the perfect night for a relaxing stroll, but Alex wasn’t here to idle his time. As he turned to glance at his silver-rimmed watch, the sound of a rumbling motor distracted him.He looked up using his binoculars and spotted something moving across the sea. It was a speedboat slicing through the gurgling waters and approaching the beach.Alex pulled out his smartphone and turned on the flashlight to signal to the boat.The speedboat pulled up next to the only pier, and a lean, muscular young man dressed in a plain black tee and a pair of camouflage trousers stepped out. Alex walked up the sandy shoreline and stood with his hands claspe
28. Family ties
The next morning, Robert Salasar used his family’s resources and internal contacts to secure a private cabin for Jakob at the city’s top multi-specialty hospital.Within the next few hours, Jakob Rashford was shifted to the Lexington Institute of Medical Science in the Artemis district.Mrs. Rashford stayed beside her son while Felicia spoke to the top doctors, discussing her brother’s condition.Robert had already taken care of the payments, and his father, Cyrus Salasar, had pulled his strings to arrange for compatible plasma from the black market. Although it was highly illegal, the hospital authorities remained silent due to the Salasar influence.At midday, Cyrus Salasar himself showed up at the hospital, accompanied by his assistant and a train of security personnel who secured the hospital gate.“How is your son doing now?” he asked as soon as he entered Jakob’s private cabin.Startled by the unfamiliar voice, Mrs. Rashford jumped to her feet, and as she saw the tall, elegantly
29. A shameless engagement
Back in his room in the penthouse, Alex was getting dressed to go to Lichenstein and honor Catherine Warrington’s invitation. He had already bought the perfect gift and chosen the perfect outfit for Dr. Lucy as well.It was nearly five in the evening, and everything was in order when suddenly Dr. Lucy knocked on his door.“I’m still not dressed yet. Give me a few more minutes,” Alex replied.“I think you need to come out and see this,” Dr. Lucy responded, her voice stiffled in her throat.Sensing something was wrong, Alex left his cufflinks open and walked out without his belt and coat.“What’s wrong?” he asked, barging out of the room.Dr. Lucy led him to the living area and switched on the television.Channel 13 news was showing live pictures from a luxury yacht sailing in Emerald Harbor, just off the coast of Marina Sands. “I am Stacey Sullivan, reporting live from Emerald Harbor. I am currently standing on the deck of the third most expensive luxury yacht in the city. It is named
30. Welcome to Liechtenstein
Since they were already running late, Dr. Lucy suggested taking the chopper, but Alex didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention, so he chose to stick to the road instead.Driving one of his cheaper sedans, Alex took the highway underpass and reached Lichenstein just as the sun was about to go down.Seated beside Alex, Dr. Lucy glanced at her watch and furrowed her brow. “It’s six already. We are late,” she informed.“It’s fine. They can wait,” Alex replied curtly. Dr. Lucy could tell that the news of Felicia’s engagement still hung over his shoulders like a dead ghost, and there was little she could do except give him his space.“Master…I think you missed a turn back there,” she uttered softly, careful not to upset him. “We were supposed to take a left at the last intersection.”Alex quickly got his head back to the present and returned to his senses. As he looked around, he realized they had already passed the freeway and were now driving straight down the narrow road leading to
