Theresa could immediately tell that this wasn't going to end well with the way everyone was now staring at Daniel like he had just committed a huge crime."Yes, I did not come with the kind of gifts everyone else did," Daniel replies and the hall erupted into murmurs like he had just committed a huge crime."I wonder why Ms. Blackwell had chosen him to act for her, I think she is not aware that my cousins here had been disowned from the Hayes family.""Your cousin, act? What are you talking about?" James Ferguson asked and with the way everyone else was looking, it was clear that they all had the same question in mind.Victor was slowly starting to like the attention, he knew this was his moment, the moment where he would fully destroy Daniel and ruin whatever marriage he thought he had going."Yes, why are you acting like you are not aware that Ms. Blackwell here only married him for a show, she just needed to claim her inheritance and I guess he was the closest person she could find

The Kingmaker had been watching the entire drama unfold in silence. He had been waiting for the moment when Daniel would finally step up and show himself to them so they would stop looking down on him.But Daniel was calm. Even in a situation like this. This was certainly not how he had expected Daniel to handle things and that was when he knew he had to step up himself.As he rose to his feet the room fell silent. Zane Creston knew fully well that the Kingmaker was not someone who involved himself in mere banter.If he was speaking up now then this was certainly something everyone had to listen to."Didn't you just hear me. I said take your hands off him." He roared this time in a very deep voice. The men looked at Mia who motioned for them to immediately step aside.Everyone's eyes went wide. The Kingmaker of all people was siding with someone like Daniel. Even Theresa was curious to see what else was going to unfold."This young man just told you all that he is fully capable of cur

Theresa grabbed Daniel and took him to the far end of the room with everyone still watching."I think she had better talk some sense into him otherwise this will be the death of him." Nathan muttered and chuckled."He really does have a death wish. Walking in here claiming he can cure a sickness that top doctors could not fix. Who does he think he is."Sherry chimed in with a disgusted scoff but seeing that Lord Zane was looking their way their father Jerry Frost immediately shot a dark glare at them and the bickering stopped."What are you doing. Have you lost your mind." Theresa snapped at Daniel but low enough for only him to hear. "Are you trying to make me a widow after just a few days of our wedding."She asked and he massaged the bridge of his nose trying to stop himself from smiling. "Do not worry. I have no plans of putting you through something like that. I will protect you.""And you think you can protect me with the way you are acting right now." A deep frown had settled o

Lord Zane rose to his feet effortlessly. In the past, it had become an issue for him standing up after being seated for a long while, but now that seemed to have changed.Even while on his feet, he continued to listen to his body, and it was clear that everything had changed.He cleared his throat, and everyone listened to him — that was how powerful his voice was that even some who were still enjoying their meal stopped that moment."Mr. Ferguson," he called calmly to James, who was standing in front of him. "Although I am aware that you have been trying to secure the city view for a while now, I have never made any promise to you regarding it."Then his eyes flickered to Daniel, who was standing calmly without a bother at all."As for Mr. Daniel Hayes here, I have made a promise to give him whatever he asked for. He had given me a gift worth everything, and I think that giving the city view to the Blackwells is such a small favor compared to this.""But Lord Zane…""It is my final d

The next day, Theresa had left very early for work while Daniel had stayed behind to do the dishes before heading for school.Dean Ambrose had informed him that his name had been added to the list of those going for the competition and now he just had to be in school to do some screening and get his card number.The screening had taken longer than he had expected and by the time he was done, his eyes finally went to his cell phone which had sixteen missed calls and text messages from the doctors at the hospital."Sir, you need to come over right away!" That was the only sentence he had read, he could not fathom what it meant, but he also knew that he had a countdown for the task given to him by the system and right now, that was the only thing that mattered.But just as he stepped out of the school, headed to his car, Sarah was standing in front of the car and his phone rang again, it was Doctor Hales."Sir!" The voice spoke in panic as soon as he picked up. "You need to come over rig
