2025-07-30 19:09:21THE ROTHWELL MANSION
An expensive car rolled to a stop in front of a massive building made of glass and concrete with long columns at the front, occupying vast acres of land. The door of the Car opened and Carl stepped down gently. The door clicked shut behind him. He looked around the place briefly without any hint of surprise at the enormous premise. A man stumbled out from the entrance and held his wrist, his palm was slick with sweat and he was shaking visibly. Mr. Rothwell, the popular tech mogul in the city. He was sweating, his face looked nothing like the expensive suit he put on. Yet the reverence at which he looked at Carl was undisputed. "Mr. Mercer.. you're here...I have been waiting for you.." The words stumbled out of his lips in panic. "Relax, Rothwell," Carl simply said, his voice steady unlike the man. "Where is she?" Mr. Rothwell swallowed hard, forcing his voice to steady but it was still evidence. "She's in the east wing..our private infirmary.' "Take me there." Carl clipped. Mr. Rothwell immediately led the way, and he continued saying on his way. "Naomi has been sick constantly over the years..but this time around it looks severe..the doctors are clueless...the international medical expert i brought in from Milan wasn't fruitful. They're saying they didn't see anything wrong with her yet she's dying.." The man pushed the entrance door open and they walked into the interior. It was sparkling and the atmosphere smelled of wealth without trying. Carl didn't look around for impressiveness. He looked around briefly and it was enough to understand the entire structure of the living room. In the living room, the family was already waiting. Mrs. Martha Rothwell the woman of the house who was dressed in a simple but expensive gown stood up from the chair immediately she heard the door open. "Honey.. you're back." She greeted, her expression plastered with worry. She then looked at Carl who was standing beside her husband. "Is he the man you talked about? Will he be able to cure Naomi?" "Who the hell is this man? A medical doctor?" A young man in a suit appeared at her shoulder, obviously smug, he looked at Carl from head to toe and immediately rated him NOTHING. He scoffed and shook his head. "Dad, everyone of us is eager to see Naomi back to her feet but we shouldn't be desperate to patronize a fraud. This man here doesn't look like he has any medical qualifications. He reeks of stain! How can you bring in a charlatan to play saviour for my sister!!" "Shut up!!" Mr. Rothwell hissed, his voice cutting the hall with authority. "Do you know who he is? How dare you talk to him like that! Naomi is your step-sister and I am his father! You have no audacity to challenge who I bring in to treat her!" Dave let out a skeptical laughter and turned to his mother. "Mum can you see what's happening right now?" He said, "Naomi needs proper care. This man here is only going to worsen her condition and eat our money. Moreover, Dr. Leo is producing a special cure for Naomi's treatment. Bringing in another Doctor will only complicate things for him." Martha Walked to her husband gently, placing a palm to his shoulder. "Honey, Dave is right." She said calmly, her voice sweet and one won't have believed that this woman was the devil.

He leaned over Tara slightly, Tara was tilted, face up, balanced in his arm. He blinked in shock. The entire room seemed to freeze before her eyes.Zane was bleeding from his back yet he wasn't showing he was affected in his expression.Romano narrowed his eyes to them. He had Intended to shoot Tara originally before Zane took the bullet for her. The situation surprised him but it disappeared immediately. What was more shocking?Before his eyes— Zane gently lifted Tara back to her feet. He didn't let go of her hand as he pushed her behind his back, facing the opponents with a cold dangerous expression.Tara's eyes dilated, shock and panic flashing through her eyes seeing the blo

At once, the men charged at Zane with weapons.Zane didn't move but his eyes were focused.His fingers clenched tight at the side, an invisible energy flowing around him like a vortex. As the enemies close in on him, Zane simply swung his right arm. The force of the invisible energy sent the men flying across the room in different directions. Some were sent shattering into tables and chairs, some slammed against the wall and collapsed heavily to the ground groaning in pain. Their weapons clattered beside them uselessly.The rest of the men, about fifty of them at his left side paused seeing the others whimpering on the floor. They hesitated, fear cracking through their expression. The were still holding their weapons but with shaking hands. Romano's eyes narrowed on Zane, shock mixed with surprise flashing in his eyes."Who the fuck are you??" His tried to steady his voice."How the heck is he able to do that?" Nikolai muttered, his eyes darting about the room to the men littering t

"Boss.. that's not true..I swear..I severed his heart with my hand..I killed him with my own hands." Nikolai stuttered, clueless on how Zane was still alive when he remembered he murdered him with his own hands.But this man standing across from him wasn't a ghost. He was flesh and blood."That is true, Boss Romano.." One of the men who dumped Zane's body into the Sea confirmed to Nikolai's statement, his voice shaking with confusion that only deepened without understanding the situation.Romano looked away from them to Zane, staring at him intently. "Who are you?" His voice carrying across the room. "Do you have an idea of the room you just walked into?" "Wrong question, Romano." Zane retorted, his voice slow, smooth and even. "You should ask why I'm here— to kill you.""You rude brat!!" Nikolai hissed, spit flying from his mouth. "How dare you speak to Boss with that filthy disrespectful mouth of yours." Zane scoffed, shaking his head, looking at Nikolai up and down. "You never c

Zane's phone buzzed in his pocket immediately he attempted to step out of the house. He took out the phone, on the screen was a strange number.He stared at the screen for a short while, knowing nothing good comes from a strange number wanting a live call especially when Tara had just been taken.He swiped the screen to the right, picking up the call.Zane narrowed his eyes to the screen.The background of the room was lavish. A dinning hall. Fine wall painting, sleek table and bright light. A young girl of about twelve years of age sat at the head of the table, a place of chicken soup in her front. Tears still clung to her eyes even though they'd stopped rolling down.She was eating the food, slowly. Hesitantly. Obviously threatened to consume it.The young girl looks familiar. Zane didn't remember where he'd seen her face. He inched the phone closer to her face, narrowing his eyes for recognition. At the same moment, the screen shifted to the face of Alexander Blackthorn. His co

""""""""The footsteps echoed sharply in slow arrogant clicks."Well. well. Well." Richard Carlson walked into the light, hands slid into his pocket. A Smug grin spread all over his face. "Look who it is who came running to me after playing secret investor." He said and began circling Elias and Kane in slow stride like a predator trapped a prey.Elias' expression remained calm and unreadable. He already anticipated the dirty move from Richard after the embarrassment at Titan Medics.Bianca's eyes narrowed to him. "So, you're the one who's behind all of this?" Richard scoffed. "You should be more concerned about yourself, sweetheart." He stopped in her front, smirking, "what is a beautiful woman like you, the heiress of the Morreti family doing with a man like him. You have no idea he's using you, don't you? I wasn't surprised when he's usually confident. It's all because you had his back. But he doesn't deserve to be seen with a woman of your standard. He's a leech. A gigolo. A man

"Where are we?" Sophia's voice cracked on the question."I heard two men talking earlier..it's the largest underground auction." The girl beside her responded with a trembling voice.Sophia's eyes widened in horror."Underground auction?" She repeated, her voice was barely a whisper like the response alone was enough to make her understand that she was in a grave danger. She lost her memory, and now she was about to be sold off to some stranger like a mere object.Her survival instinct kicked in immediately. She patted her pocket frantically, searching for her phone. It was gone. Her stomach sank."They took my phone." "They took everyone's phone. They will probably sell it to illegal dealers." That was the new phone Kade purchased for her the previous day. "I have a phone with me..but I can't remember any number to call. My head is empty." A small voice came from the corner of the room, but Audible. It was a young girl with an acute stress reaction, probably mid twenties. She pr
