“That’s true, Austin. The Brian family are among the richest in this city, and it will not be easy for anyone to bring them down. They’ve got powers and connections.” Mr. Prescott said. Austin shook his head, allowing them to think whatever they want. Antonio’s smile grew wider, when he spotted how Austin was quiet, he thought he had won, and decided to show he had more money, he spoke out. “Let me make it ten million dollars.”Hannah stood up, she had become tired of her father, stepmother and Antonio. “It’s enough, I am sick and tired of all this. No amount of money will buy our love.”“Then let the young man decide, Hannah,” Antonio said, smirking evilly.Hannah averted her gaze to Austin, her heart was thumping fast in her chest. She couldn’t tell if Austin was going to accept the ten million dollars. “No, thank you. My decision is the same.” Austin blurted out.Hannah sighed softly while the rest of the faces twisted; their anger was raised higher than it was. They couldn’t b

“I don’t think so, Dad. You have always allowed this woman to feel like she is in charge; ever since you brought her into the family, you have refused to listen to me. Nothing I do or say matters to you anymore, all you care about is her and the company.” Hannah said as tears welled up in her eyes.Mr. Prescott looked at his daughter; he felt a surge of emotion welling up inside. “I am a lady, and my happiness matters to me. I am not a trophy to be won or some goods to be handed away for free.”“What do you mean?” Claire asked furiously.Hannah’s tears or expression had no effect on her. She was more focused on joining her with Antonio for her own selfish benefit. “I am not interested in Antonio; I love Austin and would want to spend the rest of my life with him. I don’t care what you think about him, but he is the man my heart beat for.” She continued, “None of you know what Austin is capable of,” she paused staring at the eyes fixed on her. “Do you want to know the truth? The inv

Austin smiled, as he replied. “I am her boyfriend.”Claire shot Austin a cold stare, “Your boyfriend, Since when did you have a boyfriend. Or did you just go out to pick a random stranger to deceive us?”Hannah gritted her teeth, she was about to utter a word before Austin interrupted her with his words.“No, Mrs. Prescott. Hannah and I have been dating for three months.” He sounded confident.Claire let out a bitter laugh, “Three months my foot. Do you think I am dull, if you have been dating for three months, why then is she introducing you now?” She asked. Then looked at Austin from top to bottom.“Where did you come out from? You don’t look like someone Hannah would want to be in a relationship with.” Her voice was laced with contempt.Mr. Prescott, “Darling, you shouldn’t have said that. Let the young man have his sit.”“Thank you, sir.”Austin sat, and Hannah followed, taking a seat beside him. From the few minutes he had stayed at the mansion, he could tell who was nice and wh

Austin welcomed Hannah into his abode, and they sat at his mini bar inside his house. He offered her champagne; Hannah couldn’t help but marvelled at the ambience.She never thought he could own something like that, she never underestimated him but wasn’t expecting his house to look like a castle. As she took her sip slowly from the glass, she kept her eyes ogling around taking a view of each design. Something was different about Austin, his appearance.Austin noticed the uneasy feeling in her expression, he could tell something was bothering her. He wanted to ask but kept mute, she might not want to share her troubles with someone.The silence between them lasted for thirty minutes; they just sipped and stared at each other.“You haven’t stated why you visited me and how you knew where I was staying.” He broke the long silence between them.Hannah let out a short smile, trying to mask the sadness that had engulfed her. She took a deep breath and muttered. “I sent someone to help me

“I paid attention,” he said simply. “The signs were there. You just had to look with different eyes.”Austin gave them instructions to allow the girl to rest before taking her out of the emergency room. Lily stepped in, examining the little girl to be sure nothing was missing.When they left the room, they met Dr. Oliver, and Dr. Clifford approached them with a gloomy outlook. Their plan failed, they couldn’t tell how Austin did it.Dr. Clifford wasn’t going to give up, “What is going on here?” Clifford barked. “Who permitted him to treat her? You weren’t supposed to allow an unlicensed civilian to conduct an emergency procedure.” “He used what we had in the room,” Lily said firmly. “And he saved her life.”“He’s not even a doctor.” He said with his voice brewing in anger. “You had the chance to help. You chose not to.” She countered. They fell silent. Dr Lily’s gaze met with Oliver’s. “So, I thought someone was going for a family emergency. Why are you still here?” Dr. Lily ask

Inside the room, the girl lay unconscious on the gurney, her face pale, her chest rising weakly under the hum of a ventilator, monitor beeped and blinked with erratic reading.Dr. Lily moved fast, barking orders, assessing vitals, and preparing for an emergency thoracotomy. The diagnosis has shifted, and now suspected cardiac arrest due to the toxin. “Toxin level spiking,” one nurse called out. “It’s not natural.” Her gaze met Austin, “You are right.”Austin stepped back watching silently as she worked with grace and precision, fighting to stabilise the girl. Dr. Oliver and Clifford watched from the sidelines; they were curious to know how Lily was going to fail so they could quickly shift the blame to her.Suddenly, the unexpected happened. The blade slipped.It was only a nick, but the pain shot up her hand like lightning. A sharp gasp escaped her lips, and she drew her hand back in reflex. Blood welled at the tip of her index finger. The scalpel clattered to the floor, sending
