“I am calling my father, something needs to be done.” He replied. “He has many connections,”Ruddy stood firm, with an unimpressive expression. “Tell whoever you are calling that you have offended Ruddy Thomson, and I will not let you go except you hand the lady over to me.” Gerald glared at him coldly and moved back a bit when the line connected. “What is it? Has she accepted your proposal?” A deep voice on the other side of the line spoke out.“No, father. Something came up; a young man ruined the moment, and he claimed his name was Ruddy Thomson. He had insisted that I hand over Monica to him or he might not allow me to leave. Even threatened to deal with me, his men took down six of our men.” He continued. “Dad, I want you to send some men over to the restaurant this moment; we need to bring this man down so he knows we are the Benson’s.”There was a short pause over the line. “Who do you say he is?” Mr. Benson asked.“Ruddy Thomson.”A loud groan left Mr. Benson’s mouth. “What

A few minutes later, Six men in dark suits stepped into the restaurant, their expressions cold and demanding. They tilted their heads slightly before Gerald.“Now, let’s see how confident you are.” Gerald bawled, Ruddy was unfazed by the men standing before him. He has seen more than just men; he had faced wars, killed many and survived, those men weren’t threats to him.Another group of men storm into the restaurant. Ten of them poured in like a dark tide. They fanned out fast, each one cold and focused.The restaurant erupted in gasps and screams, seeing the men, both men and women trembled in fear. One thing that was common about the men was their tattoos. It was obvious they were Zachary’s men. One of the most feared underbosses in Auburn. A man who even the rich fear so much. A man who doesn’t care about anyone.Does Gerald know what he is up against? Was he ready for the task? Was he blinded by love that he couldn’t seem beyond? Gerald didn’t flinch, he stood confident despi

“How dare you? Who the hell do you think you are? Are you that blind that you can’t see she is with someone?” Gerald turned cold, his voice was filled with contempt.Ruddy glared at Gerard, “I wasn’t talking to you, so back off.” He then turned to Monica. “I am rich, and I can take good care of you if you accept to go on a date with me.”Gasps filled the room, as everyone’s gazes were fixed on the figures. “Can’t you see I am with someone, you shouldn’t have interrupted us,” Monica said, her voice Sharp but firm.“Forgive me but I couldn’t help it. You are a damsel, and I couldn’t sit and watch you without seizing the opportunity before me.”“How dare you talk to my woman like that? What the hell do you think you are doing? And who the hell do you think you are to step in during our conversation.” Gerald’s blood was simmering, and his face was contorted in rage. His body trembled not in fear but fury. Whispering spread across the room, the scene was getting interesting.Gerald poin

She nodded, her eyes softened. “Can I see you later tonight, let's hang out together. I want to thank you for helping me out.”Austin stared at her for a moment, “Alright,”Hannah smiled, “I will send you the location and time,”******Gerald was standing at the door waiting for Monica, he wore a casual t-shirt, looking smart and happy. While Monica was dressed in a green gown.She attracted the attention of the men inside the restaurant the moment they stepped in. Gerald wrapped his hand around her waist sending a signal to the lustful men around, who couldn’t take their eyes off her.It was their first dinner date after her divorce from Austin. Gerald had made plans for this a long time ago, but Monica had been occupied with her new project, giving her no time for hanging out.After several attempts, she finally found time to spend with Gerald. They took a seat, and at that moment, a waitress approached them politely and confidently. She kept a smile across her lips.Gerald placed

The same question played in the minds of the rest of the crowd.Everyone watched as Jeremy went on his knees to apologise to Austin for being rude to him earlier. He couldn’t grasp, despite what he did Austin still saved his life.“What can I offer you in return? As an appreciation for saving my life.” Jeremy abruptly asked. “How much do you want, name your price.”Austin stiffened, money wasn’t his problem. He has much that they would imagine. He only chose to remain ordinary so as not to mix his life.“Gold nor silver I want none, but keep to my words. There are many people out there who want whatever you have to give to me. Find them, show love to the public, and get healed.”Jeremy listens to Austin like he is speaking in parables. He knew better than to utter a word. He had lived his life in pain and hatred. He knew it was time to start a new life.Duke kept a downward gaze; not only had he been humiliated, but his ego had been scattered. The people who thought highly of him are

Not only did the crowd yell at Therma, the salesperson, but Derek also joined them. She had no idea what was at stake if Something bad should happen to the two men. Austin stood tall, his eyes lingering from left to right. Each gazes at him, and he can sense the tension and worries within them. He narrowed his gaze at Hannah, she gave him a light nod.He exhaled softly, walking back to get the box he had purchased earlier; he pulled it open, revealing the content that had been stored inside. Everyone moved back in fear, including Hannah. They thought he would collapse just like Jeremy and Duke but Austin stood firm. He inhaled the substance, They watched in shock.Gasps rippled through the room, as they kept their gaze fixated on Austin. What is he doing?”Did he just inhale the energy from the box? “Is he going to die? Can he heal them?’ Their minds whirled in several conflicting thoughts.Austin closed his eyes, allowing the energy to flow properly. He felt his blood boiling no

Hannah couldn’t stand Duke’s statement, so she mouthed. “You don’t blame Austin for what happened; it wasn’t his or anyone’s fault. What you should be focused on at the moment is finding a solution and saving his life.”“Yes, she is right? Mr. Jeremy needs help.”“Duke has some supernatural powers, and he can heal Mr. Jeremy.”Derek looked at Duke, who kept mute. His lips parted slowly. “Mr. Duke, we all know about your powers. Why not give us a solution? We need to save him.” He said in a low and shaky tone.The manager wasn’t only scared for Jeremy’s life; he knew if something should happen to Jeremy the antique store would be held responsible for it. And he wouldn’t want such to happen.“Mr. Duke, you both came together. You should save him; he will be rewarded greatly when he wakes up.”“Yes, Mr. Duke. You will also have our respect.”Duke knew this was his moment if he should save his life. He wouldn’t only be respected but would be feared by many people and would make more money

She exhaled softly, as she began to explain. “Recently, I have been having nightmares. Not only that, but I often feel like I am being watched by someone. I came looking for something that would help me.” She began to explain. Austin kept his gaze fixated on her as he listened intently to her words. “And you think this is the best place?” Austin asked.Hannah looked confused, she patted her lips open but no words came out. “It’s fine, can I see your palm.”She stared at him with an furrowed brow. Without uttering a word she stretched out her palm. Austin looked at it for a moment, Hannah kept staring at him in curiosity. Then, he stepped away from her and walked towards the transparent box. Taking out a Pearl necklace and walking back. “Here, take this.” He said as he gave her the necklace. “What’s this for?” She asked with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.Her eyes darted from the necklace to Austin, as she waited for what he had to say. “It’s for protection, there is an
