CHAPTER THIRTY “Babe? That’s impossible!” Said one of the observers standing at a distance. “What would such a goddess be looking for from such a low life man? Can you see how elegantly dressed she looks? The difference is glaring!” “This must be a case of mistaken identity!” The words continued to pour out gradually in the midst of the awe, astonishment and wonder that thrilled the space. No one was going to believe that such a ravishing beauty could be in anyway related to Alex . Taken aback by her words and coupled with the shock of her presence, Alex could only stare with his mouth wide open, unable to fathom the intricacies surrounding the entire turn out of events. “I know you are surprised. I will explain everything to you I promise! I have truly missed you.” Tiara was enjoying the act, her spicy words continued to spite some of those present, especially Victor and Maya. “Come here my darling.” Tiara said and did what no one could ever imagine possible. “Did she just

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE “Why really are you here? To get me in more trouble?” Alex asked with a tune that was louder than his calm voice, suddenly he was vexed up as was evident in his voice. “Oh no Alex ! Not at all! Why would I even think of that? You saved my father’s life the last time and it would be unfair of me to repay good with evil.” Tiara said making a face with the intention of letting Alex know how honest she really was. “So what do you want from me?” Alex asked sigh a feigned ignorance of what really brought Tiara to him. The memories of the lash encounter were still fresh. “I want you to follow me back home to help my family members Alex . The same illness has besieged them and I think you are the only one who can be of help to them.” Tiara said with her eyes weakened from the pain that clouded her mind. “I am not sure I can go with you Tiara. I have an unfinished business, besides you have Doctor Andrew. He seems to have very capable hands. Very capable hands!” Alex

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO “Condition?” “Yes I have a condition.” Alex said again without budging. His eyes were looking into Tiara’s and he refused to blink. “What condition?” Tiara asked as she gradually unwrapped her arms from Alex ’s body, hopeful that whatever the condition was she was going to be able to afford it. “I need you to promise me that after I must have helped you out, you would give me the herb. I need it to be able to heal others too.” “What you are asking for is a bit too much Alex . That’s my family heirloom.” Tiara said as she gradually adjusted herself tapping on the seat she was seating on with Alex . “But that’s my condition. Besides, you really do not have so much need for it. You don’t even know what it’s used for.” “But that doesn’t still change the fact that it has been in my family for years and we can’t just give it out just like can’t. My father wouldn’t easily consent to such request.” “Then that is left for you to convince him to give it to me.” Alex

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE Getting to the Harrison Villa, the automated gate opened gradually and allowed the driver to wheel in the white Porsche, then he parked right in front of the exquisite mansion screaming millions of dollars. “Welcome again to our Villa.” Tiara said but Alex only responded with a smile as he got down from the car. “This way please.” She said slowly pointing towards the door that led to the entrance of the building. Alex followed her as they walked in. He obviously had been in the house before, but for some reason he wasn’t so mindful of the exorbitant chandeliers hanging at different angles of the roof. Their dazzling colors shun brightly with the reflections from the light inside, giving the room a spectacular outlook. It was a sight to behold. Soon they got to a door guarded by another set of body guards who stood motionless at first, but the moment they saw Tiara approaching with Alex , they slightly bowed to her and one of them pushed the door in to open

. CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR “As you can see he is gone now you can come and see them.” Tiara said to Alex few seconds after she was certain that the Doctor was really gone. Alex looked at her and smiled, then he heaved a sigh of relief and gradually proceeded towards the three persons lying on the three beds at a corner. “Whats wrong?” Tiara inquired after she had turned back to see that Alex had stopped right in front of the beds, just few inches before he could be right in front of them. “This smell! It’s strange but familiar at the same time. I don’t know what it is but I am definitely going to find out.” Alex said, then he moved closer to the beds to examine the sick persons. Lying on the first bed from the bed was Jane; her eyes were closed but they twitched at intervals and she struggled to breath properly making a wheeze. Her fists were tightened and the veins in her neck were out and reddish. On the second bed was Chloe Tiara’s Mother, her case seemed to be more critical

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE “May I?” Alex asked requesting to start with her mother. Tiara walked away from the side of the bed, allowing Alex to walk through. Just a look at the poor woman, Alex bent over and checked her pulses, then he looked at Jane and then at Kelvin. “These are similar symptoms to yours Mr Newton. I fear this could be manipulated. There is only one way to find out and I must get to the bottom of this.” Tiara turned to her father and both of them expressed deep shock at what Alex said, no words came out of their mouths but their eyes said a million words. Gently, Alex took a spoonful of the blackish mixture and with his hand, took a little quantity which he dipped into Chloe’s nostrils and mouth. As he was doing his work, Tiara and her father drew much closer to observe what he was up to. For a moment, they failed to realize that the substance had a foul odor that oozed all over the place. “Why does it smell so bad?” Tiara asked making a disgusted face. Her father

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX That wasn’t the end of it all, soon their breathing escalated when they saw blood pouring from her ears as her eyes began to twitch vigorously. “Get away from her you Moron! Who sent you now?” Mr Newton said in a loud voice and moved to drag Alex away from his wife. He had almost touched him, when his daughter who was holding on to his hand drew him backward. “Stop Daddy, I think he knows what he is doing,” Tiara said in a teary but confident voice. “What? No! Can’t you see the way your mother is shaking? It’s either that he was lucky the first time or it was the Doctor who healed me. I should have listened to my instincts, now we are about to lose your mother.” Mr. Newton barked and separated himself from his daughter’s grip. “She will be fine Mr Newton, the poison is just leaving her body.” Alex managed to reply politely, hiding the anger that he felt inside of him.“By bleeding through the ears? How come that didn’t happen to me?” Mr Newton retorted in a las

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN Alex sighed slowly, then he picked up the mortar and headed over to Jane in a slow but steady voice. As he moved, gradually Mr Newton changed his attention to his daughter. Alex also took a spoonful of the substance in the mortar, and just as he had done to Chloe, he applied some on Jane’s nostrils and also in her mouth, then he stood up and went towards Kelvin. He also did the same to him, then he went back to the table where his properties were and kept the mortar with the instrument that looked like a pair of forceps on the table. Carefully, he unfolded the white napkin to reveal the area that he had used to wipe the blood that came out of Chloe’s ears. As he gazed upon it, his eyes widened, then he pushed the napkin upwards to his nose and sniffed slowly, the reaction on his face was not normal. “They are still not cures Alex. Please come!” Mr Newton said aloud now standing close to Jane’s bed. Alex was clearly upset at the man’s impatience, but he raised

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT Jane opened her eyes, then she groaned slowly and placed her left hand on her head, withdrawing it from her father’s grip. “My head. It bangs so hard. What happened daddy?” Jane asked still holding on to her head. She closed her eyes and squeezed her face to the pain she felt. “I am sure you will be fine Jane. It must be a natural reaction to the herbs.” Tiara said to her sister still holding on to her mother’s hands. “Jane? She was sick too?” Chloe asked suddenly realizing that it was Jane who lay next to her. “Yes mum, even Kelvin,” Tiara said in a low and regrettable tone. “What is really happening?” Chloe said adjusting herself to look at Kelvin seeing that Tiara had turned her gaze towards him. “Ah! My head. The pain is too much. I can’t bear it!” Jane screamed as her head banged profusely so hard that she fell back to the bed. “Do something! Can’t you see that she is in pain!” Chloe said aloud glaring her eyes at Alex in clear anger. “Easy mu

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE Tiara turned around and looked at her father with an expression that indicated that she wasn’t sure of his reaction to her demand. “What is it Tiara, you seem really worried?” Mr Newton asked his daughter seeing the worrisome look on her face. “Yes, Tiara dear. Why do you look so worried? What did he say to you?” Chloe asked her raising her head up a bit from the pillow. Tiara walked up to her father and stood right in front of him. “Is everything ok Tiara? Why do you look so worried? We all should he happy for the remarkable thing that has happened today. Do away with the dull face.” Mr Newton said to his daughter standing up from the bed. “Dad? There is something I have to tell you.” Tiara said slowly and in a voice a little above a whisper. Her eyes blinked severally as she tried to avoid her father’s gaze. The rest of the family members looked at Tiara with deep expectations written on their faces. “What is it, Tiara? Talk to us.” Chloe urged her daughte
