She nodded, as her step came to a halt. “What’s it?” She asked, looking him in the eyes like she was trying to read his thoughts.Suddenly, Dr. Clifford and Dr. Oliver sauntered towards them, their expressions calm and unreadable. “Dr. Lily, we need to talk. It’s urgent.” Dr. Clifford said, his voice was sharp and smooth.Dr. Lily shifted her gaze from Austin to her superior, then back to Austin. “I have to go,” she said.Austin held her hand, “Don’t go,” he tried stopping her. “Why,” Lily asked, moving her hand away from his grip.“Who is he?” Dr. Clifford asked. “Let her go. We have an emergency, and she is needed.”Dr. Lily furrowed her brow, “Emergency, What happened?” Dr. Clifford was about to speak when Austin stepped in, his voice was firm and steady, “You are about to fall into their trap. These men are evil and desperate to see you leave this hospital.”“What are you talking about.” Dr Lily asked, looking at the face before her. “Who are you? And what kind of Story are

While Austin was there, he overheard the nurse murmurings about the ill-treatment of Dr Lily. She was the best female physician, but Dr Clifford was biased in choosing his cousin, Dr Oliver, over her.Just then, he noticed a male physician approached Mrs. Kent with Dr. Clifford, from the tag on his shirt, Austin knew it was Oliver.He narrowed his gaze and watched them talk with Mrs. Kent, reassuring her he was the best. The old lady was more focused on seeing her Granddaughter getting treated and being alive. She doesn’t care how much it will cost her. “Mrs. Kent, Dr, Oliver is the best physician, and you can trust him.” Mrs. Kent stared at him with no reason to argue or doubt. “I am counting on you to save my granddaughter; we were together when she suddenly collapsed without any signs. Please, do your best. Money is not the problem.”Oliver nodded. His confidence was on another level. “I will not let you down.”The two male doctors walked towards another room. Meanwhile, Austin

Hannah glared at her stepmother. “This is the kind of man you need Hannah, someone who will understand your feelings, someone who is wealthy and capable of taking good care of you and your unborn children.”Claire wasn’t only trying to force Hannah into getting married because she wanted her out of the family, she knew if it should push through. She would also benefit from it. She might use Hannah’s influence to get something from Antonio.“You all should stop it,” Hannah exploded in rage. “I am not interested. I don’t want to get to know him, I don’t have feelings for him.”Without uttering another word or listening to whatever they had to spill, Hannah stood up and left the living room. Leaving everyone in shock and disbelief.“Hannah, stop there!” Claire called but Hannah ignored her. Her face twisted in frustration and rage, but she managed to fake a smile. As she averted her gaze towards Antonio. On the other hand, Antonio was furious; his jaw clenched, but he kept a smile. “

When Hannah returned home, she kept a curious gaze. Her father had informed her there was something important they needed to discuss, her expression was mixed.She made her way inside the mansion, unsure of what her father had in mind to spill. Her face was red with frustration when she spotted her stepmother, Claire, at the entrance; she kept a smug smile. Hannah furrowed her brow but didn’t utter a word. “Father!” She called out when she found him seated on the creamy sofa. Mr Prescott opened his arms to welcome his daughter and patted her back gently; Hannah’s expression changed when she spotted an unfamiliar figure beside her father. “Who is this?”The young man looked calm and composed and had long hair and black eyes.Before, Mr Prescott would utter a word, another voice spoken from behind, without being told. Hannah could tell who it was.“I want you to meet, Antonio Brian. He is your husband-to-be.” Claire said, her voice was sharp. “husband!” She exclaimed in shock. “D

“Let him speak for himself.” Inaki grinned widely.Zachary turned a cold glance at Inaki, “Why should he? He knows nothing about our trade. This is our fight, don’t get him involved.”“You don’t know him; ask him to tell you two years ago, Madrid. What happened,” Inaki said, cracking his knuckles “Tell him what you did.”“Who is he? And what did he do?”“Was he part of the Mafia? Why is Inaki forcing the young man to get involved.”“Inaki wants a simple fight, the man looks weak, and I am not sure he would stand a chance.”Murmurings continued as they spread like wildfire across the room.Austin stepped forward unflinch, one this was certain. He was going to end Inaki. He might have left the man in the previous fight, but this time. He wouldn’t allow Inaki to slip away.“What happened, Mr. Davis,” Zachary asked with curiosity.“There are some things that are supposed to be left untold.” He said, stopping beside Zachary, with his eyes fixed on Inaki. “He wants me to fight then so be i

The two men failed to come to a conclusion, inaki was extremely frustrated. The old man wasn’t willing to drop the price for them to sell the deal.“I am giving you one last chance.” Zachary said, “Twenty-five per cent, and you get the green light to operate. Otherwise, we call it off, and we both go our separate ways.”Inaki stared at him, lip pressed into a thin bloodless line. His eyes were cold and calculating.“No deals,” Inaki said, “You will regret this.”Zachary gave him a cold, humourless laugh. “ I’ve regretted a lot of things, inaki. Trusting hotheads like you tops the list.”Inaki rose from his seat, his gaze turned red. He stepped away from the chair and made his way to the door; he paused and turned back with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.“Happy birthday, don’t think you have won. I am coming back.”“Be careful, Inaki. Don’t try any tricks.” Zachary warned.“See you around,” Inaki said before walking out of the door.Zachary exhaled, rubbing his temples. He didn’t
