2024-11-11 22:15:47“Miller was looking at Alex as if he saw a ghost, he didn't expect to see him in front of his door.
“Uncle Miller, it feels like ages since I last saw you. You look like you are my Older brother now.”
Victor Miller got emotional and his eyes were filled with tears. He could not believe that Alex Cole, his friend's son, was standing in front of him. “I have been looking for you. I am glad God listened to my prayers and sent you my way.” he rubbed Alex’s shoulders before pulling him for a hug.
He pulled him into the main lounge in his mansion. Victor Miller had spent a lot of money modernizing his home.
“Molly, Rena!” He called his wife and his daughter, “We have an important guest.”
As they got to the main lounge, Molly was standing there, watching the TV, just in her bathrobe. It was evident that she had just taken a shower. She looked in her father’s direction and saw the stranger standing near him.
“Who is this fucking Creep?” She screamed before racing to her room.
“Miller, really?” His wife scolded, “Molly was almost naked and you let some strange man in without telling us.”
“Until when will you stop letting stemage people into this house anyhow?”
“Alex is no stranger to the house and she was not even naked. If she was naked, what would be the problem?” He fired back at his wife.
“He is Alex Cole?” Rena asked taking another investigating look at him then her expression became sour. “Why did you come here? Have you come here to mooch off us?”
Alex got what she meant, right after his parents had passed away, he had shown interest in martial arts and medicine.
His sister on the other hand preferred to roam about the world, traveling, so their distant relatives had taken over their family company.
“I heard you have nothing to your name now, have you come here to ask my husband to return the money that your father had lent him for his business?” She asked in aggressive tone which annoyed her husband.
“That is enough!” Miller yelled at her. “Go and make some food for us. Alex is back here, we are going to have a drink so stop spewing nonsense if you don't want to get one my bad side tonight,”
Seeing that her husband was already very angry and she did not like to get on his bad side, she hissed before dragging her feet to the kitchen.
Miller led Alex to the wine bar, he beamed with joy. Even Alex did not expect that he would be that happy to see him.
“I am glad that you have come to see me, you are starting to look more like your father. I miss him so much, he helped with my business with a lot of money. I would not be where I am today if no because of your father that didn’t treat me like the investors that didn't want to invest in my company.”
“To repay what your father did to me and how he made me rich, I am going to let you marry my daughter.”
Rena and Molly suddenly reappeared at the table.
“Miller, why would you suggest that my daughter marry him? Milly is supposed to marry into a very wealthy family, That is the only way our family’s business can grow so bigger than it is. Do you want our wealth to get blown off like his family's own?
“Keep your mouth shut, Rena.”
“Dad, mom is not lying, neither is she saying rubbish, if you are trying to get me to marry him to repay your debt, you should just give him the million dollar as his father had given you for your business. I can't see myself living with that man as my husband.”
Milly complained, folding her arms together and pouting seriously.
“You don't have any say in this, Molly!” Miller face dhis daughter
Alex felt embarrassed at their behavior because they kept treating like he had come to collect money from them or to marry Molly. He had neither of the two ideas in his intentions.
“I am not here to get paid for my father’s investment.” he assured them, “I am already comfortable being a doctor, i earn enough upkeep to keep my life running smoothly”
Molly and Rena’s hare resolve against Alex was starting to dissolve, Rena was starting to get comfortable around him. She sat on the chair opposite him and asked, “So which opposite do you work at?”
With pride, Alex answered, “I work as a doctor in the medicine village.”
“Mtchewww.” Rena hissed out loud. “Look at me thinking that he had a proper job when he said he was a doctor and earning a good pay. You are working in the medicine Village, not even a big hospital. You better not dream of getting married to my daughter or else I will…” just before Rena would complete her statement, someone knocked on the door.
She went to get the door, an old man was standing in front of the door, he had just come down from a Rolls Royce that was sitting in front of their house. A big smile formed on Rena’s face, “How many i help you, sir?”
The old man who was the butler of the Bourne family spoke curtly , “I am here to pick up Doctor Alex Cole.” The smile on her face faded off and she returned into the house.
Molly’s full attention was now on the Rolls Royce. Her father was rich but not rich enough to buy such exotic car.
“You have come to ull a trick on us right? How can a doctor from the medicine village own a Rolls royce? Is it even realistic? Even your salary in a hundred years can not buy the car.” Rena sneered at him.
“Employing someone to act as your chauffeur and chaperone. You also rented an exotic car but unfortunately for you we are not stupid to fall for such tricks.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Molly was so pissed, “Are you so desperate to marry me that you went to the extent of resorting to cheap tricks?”

Alex understood why Donald was the richest man in the city. His house was fully decorated with gold, the exteriors obviously cost millions of dollars but the inheritors cost two times more.“Doctor, you are here!” Donald’s face lit up as soon as he saw Alex. He had been waiting by the door for him to show up. He had told his wife to let the doctor she had brought go so that he would make their daughter cripple but she was crying begging that he stay till the divine doctor that he called arrived.Mr Bourne was also standing by the door.

“Will my daughter still survive this after getting the treatment from this?” Donald Bourne was not sure of agreeing to his wife's choice so he wanted to confirm.He was only going to let him touch his daughter because his wife had told him that he was the best doctor in their city. The person he wanted it to be was Alex.“I cannot say till we all see it but be rest assured that since I am here, your daughter cannot pass away,” Alex assured him, “But there is a condition, you will have to get me the White Snake Flower.”“I will get you anything you want as long as you save my daughter’s life. If you want hundreds of them, I’m willing to give you.”Alex laughed knowing that Donald doesn’t know how rare the White snake flower is. It’s impossible to find one, not to speak of ten.Dr Norton scoffed in his mind, “He dare ask for that rare herb? Such a thief.

Alex glanced at him with a smirk on his face, “I’m not taking apprentices yet,”“Please when you decide to start accepting them, kindly contact me.” He bought out his name card and handed it to Alex. “I have been learning the supreme techniques since I was in medical school but I have not been able to master it.”It was no doubt that he wasn't able to learn such technical skills. Many students found it difficult to handle needles and master the supreme techniques.

“A stalker?” Rebecca asked, confusedly wondering where and when her friend had met such a man because she had not mentioned him to her in the past.“I thought you had seen a very handsome man, I was glad that we got to meet some new rich guy but it ended up being this stupid leech.”“That bastard wants to marry me and I declined, now he is even shameless enough to be stalking me now.” Molly scoffed.“But he is rich and handsome, he came here in a Rolls Royce, do you know how much that cost?”“As if! Take a look at his clothes and the car? Their qualities do not match each other. He only rented the car to show off and pretend like he is rich so he can deceive people.”“He is not the owner of the car. I know him so well.

The line went silent as David Norton did not know how best he would explain to Thea about what had transpired between him and Alex.“Give me an answer. We both know that my grandfather doesn’t have much time. I need to find this man as fast as I can. No matter what it takes.” Thea said she could barely mask her desperation any more.“I met this young man at the Bourne’s mansion when I was about to treat their daughter. We had a little conflict so I wasn’t able to get his contact or even get his personal information.” He said in a small voice.Thea immediately understood what Dr Norton said. She understood that the top orthodox doctor in Mericania would not believe that there was someone better than him.“Thank you, Dr David. I will try to contact the Bournes about it.”Though the doctor was young, he was able to treat the Bourne’s young daughter that Norton wasn’t able to heal. It is possible that he will be able to heal her grandfather too. Now that her hopes were high, she was goi

“After they ate brunch, Alex was about to leave when Miller asked, “Where are you heading to? You only just got here and we haven't had a drink yet.”“Ah, I am going to the XY bank, I have something to sort out over there.”Alex had to go to the medicine market to buy some ingredients to prepare the antidote he was going to make for Lord Thor Walton’s treatment. So he wants to go and cash out some money from the golden card that Liya had given him.“That is good, Molly has some matters to tend to for the company at the XY bank, the both of you can go there together.” Uncle Miller suggested.That caused him to be more and more frustrated, the more he was trying to stay away from her, the closer he was getting to her.Molly on the other hand was mad about her father’s decision but she knew better than to go against her father's wishes.She had a mischievous grin on her face while she drove both of them to the bank, “Alex, do you know what kind of people use the XY bank?”“The top one pe

Chapter 166 - Pathetic
The laughter had reached a fever pitch.The rich men slammed their glasses against the table, howling with amusement, slapping each other on the backs like they had just witnessed the world’s greatest joke.Alex let it wash over him without blinking.He sat there, unmoving, the picture of calm.Then, without a word, he reached into the inner pocket of his jacket.The mocking slowed slightly, a few men noticing the movement, curiosity flickering through their drunken haze.Alex’s fingers closed around a thin, solid object. He drew it out smoothly and set it down on the table between them with a soft click.A golden card.The lighting in the bar caught the surface instantly, throwing a sharp gleam across the polished wood.It wasn’t flashy gold paint or cheap shine. It was a deep, rich luster a card that spoke in a language no ordinary man would dare counterfeit.Silence fell over the nearest tables like a switch had been flipped.One by one, heads turned.The man with the rings froze
Chapter 165 - Payment Declined
The tension was thick enough to choke on.Alex stood calm in the middle of it, hands still tucked casually into his jacket pockets, every muscle in his body ready to move the second they gave him a reason.The first guard squared his shoulders, clearly preparing to escalate, when the heavy front door of the bar swung open behind them.All movement froze.A man stepped out, flanked by two more guards who hung back respectfully, almost blending into the shadows. He was older, somewhere past fifty, but moved with the easy, unhurried grace of someone who had commanded respect for most of his life.He wore a tailored grey suit that probably cost more than most cars on the street. His hair was slicked back, silver at the temples, and a heavy ring gleamed on one hand as he adjusted the cuff of his jacket.His eyes, sharp and assessing, swept the scene in a single glance.The guards stiffened instantly.The first one dropped his aggressive stance and took a half step back.The man’s gaze land
Chapter 164 - Rejection
Thea sat at her desk, three heavy envelopes laid out before her, each bearing the crest of the Smith family the intertwined black and silver sigil that carried weight across the country. Each envelope was slightly different. Different handwriting. Different thickness. Different energy.They were invitations.Polished. Formal. Calculated.But no matter how fine the paper or how elegant the phrasing, Thea knew exactly what lay beneath.Marriage proposals.The Smith brothers had made their move.Thea leaned back in her chair, studying the envelopes like a general studying the battlefield. She had seen this coming. Felt it in the way their interactions had shifted from rivalry to alliance to something heavier, more dangerous.Affection.Ambition.Possession.She tapped her fingers lightly against the desk, thinking.It wasn’t anger she felt.It was... regret.Because if things were different, if her world was simpler, if her heart hadn’t already tilted somewhere else without permissio
Chapter 162 - What Doctor?
Morning sunlight spilled into Thea’s room, warm against the crisp sheets she hadn’t bothered to untangle during the night. She sat at the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, her hands resting loosely against her knees.Dr. Nelson’s words from the day before still rang in her ears.Her grandfather’s condition had improved. More than expected. More than medicine alone should have allowed.She trusted Dr. Nelson’s skills, but he wasn’t easily impressed. If he said something unusual was happening, it wasn’t just politeness. It was a fact.Thea ran a hand through her hair, her fingers snagging against a knot. She needed answers.Her mind turned, slowly at first, then faster, piecing things together. There had been another visitor before she left for training. Someone Reed had brought, someone important enough that even Thor Walton had agreed to meet him.Master Roman Reigns.Thea frowned slightly, trying to remember every detail Reed had given her at the time. There hadn't been much. Ju
Chapter 162 - Lord Thor Walton’s health
Two weeks later, the training came to an end.It had not been marked by any grand announcement, no ceremony or formal dismissal. It simply faded away, as naturally as the sun giving way to the stars. One morning, the dojo felt different. Not empty, but finished. Thea stood on the mat after her final sparring session with Alex, her body humming with the familiar ache of exertion, her breathing steady and deep.She still hadn’t beaten him.Not even once.No matter how fast she moved, how sharp her instincts grew, Alex stayed ahead of her, always calm, always just out of reach. It used to enrage her, that casual mastery, but now it stirred something else. A challenge, yes, but also a quiet, deep respect.Thea knew exactly how far she had come.When she first stepped into this place, her strength had been a hammer heavy, wild, effective only when brute force was enough. Now, her strength had edges. It cut clean where before it only crushed. Her movements were no longer reactive but int
Chapter 161 - Late night practice and Chicken
The door to the dojo slid open, and General Earlton entered with the authority of someone who didn’t need to announce herself. She carried something wrapped tightly in dark cloth. Thea straightened without thinking, the exhaustion in her limbs forgotten the moment she saw Earlton’s face.Alex stood not far away, loose and at ease, but he still shifted a little when the general scanned the room with her eyes.Earlton crossed to Thea and unwrapped the cloth with a flick of her wrist. A set of throwing knives shined in the dim light, their sharp edges catching every stray sunbeam that slipped into the dojo.Without a word, she handed them over.Thea took them, feeling how heavy they were as they settled into her palms. These weren’t training toys. These were real, deadly tools.Earlton’s voice broke the silence. “You will throw at him.”Thea’s head snapped up. “At him?”Earlton’s eyes didn’t waver. “Stand in place. Throw.”Alex didn’t protest. He just walked to the center of the mat and
Chapter 160 - Jealousy
Thea was already in the dojo when Alex arrived.She stood in the center of the mat, arms crossed, foot tapping impatiently against the wooden floor. Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, and her eyes narrowed the moment the door slid open and he stepped through.Alex moved with his usual lazy grace, one hand tucked casually in his pocket, the other swinging a water bottle loosely at his side. He looked refreshed, relaxed, and completely unbothered by the fact that he was several minutes late.Thea's eyes narrowed further."Nice of you to finally show up," she said, her voice sharp enough to cut glass.Alex raised an eyebrow as he tossed the bottle onto a bench against the wall. "Morning to you too."She didn't smile. "Let me guess. Late because you had a busy night?"Alex tilted his head slightly, pretending to think. "Define busy."Thea scoffed, the sound sharp and bitter. "I saw you yesterday. With her. You were too busy playing chauffeur for your girlfriend to bother show
Chapter 159
Thea was still leaning against the far wall of the dojo when the door slid open quietly. She straightened instinctively, wiping the emotion from her face as General Earlton entered. The older woman moved with a calm, powerful grace that made it clear she didn’t need to raise her voice or brandish a weapon to command respect. Her gaze flickered briefly between Alex and Thea, as if weighing the temperature of the room.Without a word, Earlton walked to the center of the mat and stood there, her hands clasped lightly behind her back. Thea noticed the faint bulge under her robe, but said nothing.Alex, always observant, stepped forward first. He moved into position without needing to be told, standing a respectful few paces from Earlton, his posture straight but relaxed.Earlton smiled slightly, the kind of smile that held more warning than warmth."Stand still," she said to him.Alex gave a slight nod, his face expressionless.Thea folded her arms, skeptical. Whatever this was, she doub
Chapter 158 - When you are ready
Alex watched Thea’s chest rise and fall as she struggled to hold her stance. Her arms were tight against her sides, her breathing shallow, impatient. She wasn’t used to standing still. Her body screamed for motion, for action, but Alex gave no command to strike.He circled her slowly, hands folded behind his back, observing every muscle twitch with a detached calm that made Thea grind her teeth."Focus on the breath," Alex said."I'm focused enough," Thea snapped."Then you wouldn’t be shifting your weight like a drunk soldier," he said without raising his voice.Her nostrils flared. She straightened, forcing her heels to root into the ground as he had instructed earlier, but her mind raced ahead to the sparring she expected. She wasn't here to meditate. She was a fighter, not a monk."Again," Alex said.Thea closed her eyes and tried to inhale as slowly as he had demonstrated: steady, filling her lungs from the diaphragm, not the chest. It felt unnatural. It felt wrong. She could be
