Outside, the world was dark and the sky was bleeding, the rain pelting his face and slowly soaking his coat. He didn't move immediately. He waited, recalling every word she said that night. He smiled— Broken and bitter. Then he stepped away into the night with nowhere in mind in particular even though he had enough space to stay. He had barely moved for two minutes when headlights cut through the night and droplets. The Black cars pulled over at the side. Immediately, the doors of the Car fell open and men in black suit, face vieled by the darkness under umbrellas stepped out. One of them rushed to the middle car, his boot cutting through water on the floor. He pulled open the door and stepped back. First, a leg came down. Black heels and leggings. Then the woman woman stepped out from the Car, clad in a fitted gown, Shielded from the rain with an umbrella by a bodyguard. Elias couldn't see her face but from her silhouette and appearance she wasn't just an ordinary person. "He

It actually made sense. Maybe the anonymous person was decided to finally slip into the shadow to give her a surprise tomorrow when her company finally went public. Or Maybe he vanished to heighten her anticipation to see him; Some men's antics to make the woman they love to keep mulling about them and it was actually working on her. She let out a soft sigh, calming her nerves now. "I hope so,Mum," She said. "Thank you, Mum." "That's the kind of man you should for. Someone who knows your worth. Someone who surprises you with presence rather than a cup of tea and Garbage." Amara flinched slightly. PRESENCE. In another corner of her mind, the reality she didn't want to accept was that Elias has been present— doing just what he wanted her to see while unbeknownst to her does the bigger things in the shadow. But her new status doesn't require mediocrity. If she's giving someone a chance into her life again, it would be someone who isn't average, someone who actually knows what it

Elias walked to the slab where the old man lay motionless. His eyes, trained sharper than any advanced cutting-edge technology with ancient technique that most people had forgotten assessed him keenly. Silence fell over the room except for the steady beeping of the heart monitor displaying analysis that suggested life was hanging on a very slim thread that made snapping so-soon inevitable. Dr. Greg watched Elias with arms folded across his chest, his smirk sharp. He chuckled softly, shaking his head and waiting for the moment Elias would eventually humiliate himself. Bianca stood in a straight posture, her eyes never blinking from Elias. The old man's breathing was slow— too slow that suggested whatever was going on through his body was diminishing his heart function, his face paled as though somehow in his paralyzed state, he was in the land of ghosts. Elias pressed two fingers on his neck to feel his pulse. His eyes narrowed, his expression cracking in genuine surprise. Dr. Gr

Bianca's cheek flushed in embarrassment. "I need to go now, Papa," she quickly said, avoiding his grandfather's gaze. "Tomorrow will get the herbs to flush the poison from your blood." She said and immediately stepped out from the old man's study. She closed the door behind her and let out a sharp exhale feeling her heart racing. "Get over yourself, Bianca." She placed a palm over her chest to steady her breath and let out a soft and exhale. She stepped out of the house with Elias. "Where will you be going from here, Mr. Kade?" She asked in concern. "I heard you just divorced." "I'll look for a place." Elias simply said. Bianca nodded but she wasn't satisfied. She pulled out two black cards from her pocket. One is a Master card stocked with $10 million grands and the other Card is an access card to the Morreti's properties across the city. It had gold lettering embossed at the centre. "My grandfather asked me to give you both. You'll have free access to any of our fa

The imported custom made suit from Milan fitted her like a second skin. She posed in front of the mirror in a black heel that probably cost more than some people's salary. She had to look her best today— today was her biggest day— her hospital is finally going public after three years, three years of slaving for bosses. Full backing. Legal right and licensing fee from the biggest medical firm in the world. Her investors were solid. Titan Medics isn't just are monolithic firm with operations that cut across the globe. They have their gigantic fingers wrapped around Tech, human life care, Education and other businesses which makes them the mightiest organization in world history. All of this won't have been possible if not for the anonymous person called the legendary doctor helping her from the shadow. Today isn't just about her, it was about him and she'd completely forgotten about her husband.. ex-husband who had been with her for three years, supporting her in the little way he wa
