Austin was impatient; Charlie wasn’t back home, unlike him. He had tried reaching out to him and all to no avail, His mind reeling with several thoughts.

He made a few orders, it was Charlie’s birthday, and Austin wanted to make it remarkable for him. Both had stayed together for almost a decade.

The door swung open as Charlie walked inside looking exhausted.

Austin informed him to get dressed, which he obliged and joined him as they made their way to the surprise location Austin had refused to talk about. Both were dressed in a casual outfit.

They arrived at the restaurant, it was a grand, opulent and dazzling chandelier hanging from the ceiling, waiters in sharp uniforms moving swiftly

Austin and Charlie walked through the plush dining area, passing extravagant tables with elegant guests. Austin gave Charlie an encouraging smile.

“Happy birthday Charlie. Tonight, you are in for a treat. Order whatever you want.” Austin said grinning.

Charlie’s eyes widened in surprise; the atmosphere was overwhelming for him, and he hardly believed he was at the restaurant.

“You mean, anything….” Charlie stammered.

Austin giggled, shaking his head. “Yes, anything. It’s your night. Enjoy it. Don’t hold back.”

Charlie’s face lit up in excitement; he felt like embracing Austin; he had always been like a brother and father to him.

“What could I have done without you? I might have still been on the street begging or eating from leftovers.” He thought as a drop of tears left his eyes.

“Don’t tell me you are feeling emotional,” Austin uttered.

Charlie managed to wipe the tears from his cheeks, “Thank you, Mr. Austin.”

He glanced at the menu, his finger almost shaking as he flipped through the pages of gourmet dishes.

“You deserve the best, so take your time,” Austin muttered seeing the confused look on his face.

The waiter approached, smiling politely but having a mixed feeling inwardly. He wondered if they would be able to afford a meal.

Charlie raised his head, placing an order. Austin placed his order, the waiter nodded as he took the orders.

As the waiter walked away, Charlie leaned back as he felt excited. He glanced around the hall and then back to Austin.

“You are a king tonight. It’s your nineteenth birthday, and I want you to enjoy every moment.”

While they await their orders, Suddenly, Monica and her lover, Gerald, walk into the restaurant. They spotted Austin and Charlie, her expression a mix of disdain.

Gerald looked equally unimpressed.

“Look who is living up to expectation,” Monica uttered sarcastically. “You really do like playing pretend, don’t you, Austin. Do you think coming here to have a meal will make me change my mind about you? Stop the showoff.”

Charlie frowned and was about to make a move when Austin winked at him.

“What do you think you want to do,” Monica glared at Charlie. “I can see you have no respect for elders.”

“Leave the boy out of this,” Austin said, “You should take your sissy of a man somewhere, there are many free spaces here.”

Charlie chuckled and used his hand to cover his mouth.

“What did you just say?” Gerald’s face contorted with rage.

“Oh, I forgot. Mr. Benson.” Austin in sarcasm. “I didn’t see you. I thought it was someone else.”

What were they thinking when they approached Austin?

“You should better mind the way you talk to people, you don’t know where your help would come from,” Monica said with her voice laced with disgust.

“Why do you think I will ask for help from someone who I am better than in every area of life.”

Charlie giggled, using his hand to cover his mouth. While Gerard’s face turned red, Monica’s face flushed in anger.

“Look who is talking, I am sure. You are making use of your life savings, which I am sure is not even worth my daily expenses.” She blurted out. “Let me see how you manage to make payment when you finish eating. I guess you didn’t check the price on the menu.”

‘If I can’t make a payment, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place. How about you sit somewhere and place an order? I will handle the Bill.” Austin said.

Sure, he could handle the bills with just a swipe of his exclusive card.

Monica and Gerard exchanged glances, then chuckled wryly. “I hate when people brag a lot, you should be the one begging me to help pay your bill. But guess, what? I will do that if only you would knee and lick my shoe.”

Austin raised his brow, looking at Gerald from head to toe. “Your shoe is not worthy of my tongue.”

“I am sure you can’t afford it, not even your payment as a local doctor could afford it. It will take ten of your generation to even get this.” Gerard replied.

Austin got up from his seat, took a wine glass from another table, and poured on Gerald’s shoes. Leaving everyone in awe.

Monica’s mouth agape in shock, as her expression darkened.

“How dare you? Do you know how much my shoe is worth?” Gerald barked, as he clenched his fist.

Monica gripped his arm, stopping him from taking a step. Her eyes scanned the area. If Gerald should make me move, it would ruin his reputation.

People might see him as someone violent. it will not be a good way to act as the heir to the Benson's family.

Austin was getting on their nerves, but it was all their fault; if they had gone straight to their seat, this would never have happened.

“You are lucky, I am in a good mood. I would have taught you a lesson you will never forget in your lifetime.” He sneered. “But let me warn you, I will come after you and make sure I deal with you.”

Austin shook his head, as he smiled. “I will be waiting for you, I hate men who only threaten people without taking action.”

Monica, seeing how the crowd were looking, grabbed Gerald by his arm and took him to the restroom to clean up his shoes.

The waiter returns with their order, placing the sizzling steak in front of Charlie and Austin.

They both enjoyed their meal, While Monica and Gerald walked towards their seat when they returned to the hall. Gerald’s face was filled with rage, he kept staring at Austin with disdain. He wished he could strangle him to death.

They placed an order, as they wait the waiters.

Suddenly, five thugs walked into the restaurant, their cold eyes scanning around. Their menacing presence immediately shifted the mood of everyone around. They walked with purpose, their boots thudding against the marble floor as they headed straight for Monica and Gerald.

    Just as Anderson had anticipated, his reason for paying for Lucy was to make Austin look like the black sheep among them.Knowing if Lucy didn’t bring a gift, she would he judged with Austin, but now she had cleared her name. He knew he would use this opportunity to humiliate Austin and keep his face clean before Lucy.Austin was about to utter a word when Anderson spoke out. “Patricia, there is no need to ask him for a gift when he is not one of us. Besides, what else can a deadbeat loser get for you that would surpass what I have given you for the night?”Patricia and her friends chuckled, “You are right, I don’t think he can even afford the bag or the watch. Let’s just forget about it.”“What do you want?” Austin asked.Patricia furrowed her brow staring at him, “Did he just ask me what I want?”Austin nodded. “You heard me right. Name it.”Patricia let out a mocking laughter, knowing it would be impossible for Austin to get her what she wanted. “Austin, come off it. There is n

    “You shouldn’t have said that,” Lucy whispered.“Why? Don’t I look like a CEO?” Austin asked.Lucy heaved a deep sigh, not wanting to say anything that would make him feel badAnderson sneered, “You can never be the CEO of Jerold. The CEO of Jerold is an old man who likes to keep his identity private, not someone like you.” He then turned to his friends. “Don’t mind him, he is just a roadside doctor famous for being a liar and tricking people to get money from them.”Anderson and his friends burst into laughter.“You should have said it from the beginning. Can you heal someone with asthma? Were you the one who produced the magic pill that Lucy is using to trend?”Lucy felt a pang of hurt and guilt seeing how Austin had been mocked.However, Austin was unfazed by their words. His gaze met Lucy’s. He grasped she wasn’t happy with the scene happening around them.“Lucy, I know you have always wanted to know who saved you that night, and how you woke up in a different place.”His words m

    Austin and Lucy walked into the restaurant, and they had managed to slip out of the hospital, avoiding restaurants close by due to the incident.Just as they entered, Lucy was welcomed by the presence of some familiar faces, and Austin only knew Anderson. He had remembered him from the night when he took Lucy.Lucy was stunned seeing him and others there. “What are you doing here?” She asked Anderson who was also surprised to see her. “We are celebrating, and I was about to call you. Since you are here I don't see any reason why you shouldn't join us.”Lucy was puzzled, she had come here to have a discussion with Austin and not for their celebration. Genevieve, her college friends waved at her. “Lucy, come join us. We are happy to see you.”Lucy looked at Austin, unsure of what to say. He shrugged, and they both walked towards the table filled with friends and old college friends. Anderson felt uneasy seeing Austin with Lucy, he suspected something was going on between them. He tho

    After, Dr. Lucy left the room. She strode into her office, still amused by the effect of the pill. She had done some medical checks on Mr. Prescott, and his illness had vanished as if it had never been there before.Her mind raced as she stared at the pills. Then she thought about something. She left her office and then walked into one of the wards. She found a little boy, who broke his spine after an accident. She knew the report of the boy, he wouldn’t be able to walk again, and she knew the effect of the pill. She decided to try it on someone else.“Nurse, can you give me a moment? I need to check something, it’s urgent.” She said,The nurse nodded, taking a step backwards as she watched Dr. Lucy gingerly put the pills into the mouth of the boy, whose face was pale. “You are going to be fine.” She whispered.The nurse looked puzzled, “What’s that, Dr. Lucy?” It’s a magical pill, I got it from a friend. It can cure even conditions already deemed important to be treated.” She cou

    Claire was caught off guard, she didn’t see that coming. But she knew she had to stand up for herself before it was too late.“What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to accuse me? Don’t try to shift the blame, we are going to sue you if anything should happen to him.”Dr. Martin couldn’t stand the conversation, so he spoke out. “Young man, you should be worried about what you have done! Instead of apologising, you are blabbing. Do you know what would happen to you if anything should happen to Mr. Prescott?”“Nothing will happen to my father, Dr. Martin. Austin’s pill is authentic and it can cure any illness.”“I am not surprised you are defending him. This was all your plan to kill my husband, wasn’t it? Then you can snatch his remaining possessions!” Austin and Hannah frowned. She looked at her stepmother with disgust. Did you just say I want to snatch what are already his remaining possessions? Do you even have anything left? Do you even know what you are talking abou

    Dr. Lucy startled, as she struggled with her words. She never imagined that someone would barge in on her at that moment.“What was that? What’s happening, Dr. Lucy?” He asked again, looking closer at the patient’s pale face.He was extremely furious when he noticed she had given him something, but what made him mad was the fact that he couldn’t tell what it was. Lucy hesitated for a moment, as she maintained her composure. “I gave him a magical pill.”“What pill,” Lucy showed the pill, and Dr. Martin looked at her with disbelief and disappointment, which was evident in his gaze. “Are you okay? Do you want to kill the patient? What kind of pill is that? Since when did you start giving magic pills to patients?”Lucy, for a moment, was lost for words; she didn’t know when she was moved to give the pill to Mr. Prescott, the deed had already been done.“It will help restore his health.” She spoke despite the fear and uncertainty that crept into her voice.Dr. Martin was agitated, “How
