2025-06-04 20:11:34Behind the big gates of Redwood Correctional Facility, an old man kneeled down steadily with a wide smile on his face, his face dripping with sweat from the effect of the sun.
Reginald Frost, the billionaire founder of RegiFrost Enterprises, a big conglomerate, knelt on the ground at the main entrance of the facility, with a small bag in his hand, waiting patiently for somebody. Desperate for a miracle, he had heard about a divine doctor in Redwood Correctional Facility who had cured a patient with the same illness as his. The day before today, he learned that this divine doctor, Ethan Stone, was done serving his sentence and was going to be released today, and so he came, just so he could meet him. Thankfully, a prison guard came to tell him that the doctor had just completed his discharge requirements and was coming out any moment from now. Ethan walked out of the prison gates, stretching his arms and taking a deep breath of the air that met him outside. He had finally tasted freedom after three cruel years He was going back home to his normal life, to meet his wife and live happily ever after Three years ago, he had taken the blame for his wife's crime and ended up behind bars. His wife had killed a man, and he was the first person to come to the scene. Ethan knew his wife was going to be imprisoned if the police got to the scene, and so, in a bid to save his wife, Ethan took the blame and claimed he had unintentionally killed the man while defending himself. Due to his plea, he was sentenced to three years in prison with hard labour, and finally, after waiting for so long, he was finally out. His wife had only come to visit him for the first few months, never to see her again. Ethan could not wait to meet his wife again. He was sure he was now going to live a good life. Ethan made his way out of the small gate, coming to the compound. He had to make his way to the main gate before he could finally say he had exited the place. He was expecting his wife to be there to welcome him and take him out. However, there was no one around. “ Maybe she is at the main gate,” Ethan thought to himself as he walked As he made his way out, a limited edition of the newest Maserati car dove in and stopped right in front of Ethan, making him stop in his tracks. A young lady emerged from the car and faced Ethan with a straight face. It took Ethan a few seconds to realize who the lady was: his wife!!! Ethan was delighted; his wife was now more beautiful than ever, and he had not seen her in years. “AVA!!” Ethan exclaimed happily with glee as he walked closer to her with a wide smile on his face, quickening his steps. “Stop!!,” Ava said with a frown as she sized Ethan up with disgust. Ethan stopped in his tracks. The look on Ava was nothing to write home about, and she looked like she was disgusted by his looks. He looked at his body. He was dirty, and his face was unshaven, yet he feigned a smile. He thought that was the reason why Ava asked him to stop. Although he was disappointed, he kept his calm “Okay, I understand. Let's go home. I have to wash down,” Ethan said. “We are not going anywhere, Ethan. I knew you would be released today, and I came here to tell you something. I WANT A DIVORCE!”! Eva exclaimed. Ethan's eyes widened in shock as his wife's words hit him like a ton of bricks. “Divorce? How could she even think of that after all they had been through?” He felt like he had been punched in the gut, and his mind raced with questions. "What...what are you talking about?" he stammered, trying to process what he had just heard. His wife sighed. "I've moved on, Ethan. I've found someone else. Someone who can provide for me, someone who is successful, someone who isn't a prisoner!" Ethan felt a wave of anger wash over him, but he pushed it down, trying to remain calm. "So, you're just going to leave me like this? After everything I've done for you?. I spent three years of my life in jail because of you, and all you could do is ask for a divorce?" Ethan asked. He was still in shock with what he had just heard from Ava His eyes turned soft right at that moment. Ava shrugged, her eyes cold. "You made your choices, Ethan. You chose to take the fall for me, to go to prison for me. I'm grateful, but I'm not bound to you by obligation. I deserve better, and I've found it.” Ethan did not know what to do or say. “ What have I done to deserve this, Ava?” Ethan asked, a sense of emotion lingering in his masculine voice. His voice was now softer, in disappointment “I think you don't have any access to newspapers in prison. You would have known who I am now. Let me spare you the time. In case you want to know. I am the CEO of Avish Beauty. Yes! The biggest beauty firm in the country is worth billions of dollars, and with your criminal records, you don't deserve to be with me, so, I want a divorce,” Ava said with a devilish grin Ethan’s heart was pierced and shattered into pieces. Ethan felt like his world was crumbling around him, noiselessly. He had given up everything for this woman, and now she was just discarding him like trash. He took a step back, feeling a sense of betrayal and hurt that he had never felt before. He could feel his whole body go numb for a second. “ Divorce?!” He murmured to himself in disbelief a

Ava and Jake sat in their Maserati, in the parking lot of a fancy restaurant, chatting. Although the air conditioner in the car was on full blast, Jake was visibly sweating, indicating he had just come in from the outside.“What did you get?” Ava asked Jake as he sat down, dabbing the sweat off his face with a tissue.“Hmmm.” Jake took a deep breath and shook his head.“Nothing. All the information I had on him was what we already know about him.He was a car salesman; he was imprisoned, and now he has been released.There is no record whatsoever that he was or is a medical doctor anywhere in the world. He came out of jail four days ago and is currently supposed to be a homeless guy with nothing, so I am currently wondering where he got the car and all that from,” Jake narrated.Ava’s face was expressionless. “So how do we explain the people who knew him and referred to him as a doctor? The car he drives and all that?” Ava asked, demanding more answers and explanations from Jake.“Th

The phone on a bed kept beeping loudly, disturbing his sleep.He had tried as much as he could to ignore the constant beeping from the phone and get some good rest, but it seemed impossible as the phone kept beeping time and time again without any stop.Ethan lazily stretched his body as he picked up the phone half awake with his eyes partially open.He answered the call and place the phone to his ear while staring up at the ceiling“Hello,” Ethan said in a coarse and lazy voice.“Hello, Doctor, good morning,” a familiar voice said on the line.Ethan somehow recognized the voice at once to be that of Mr. David. He took a deep breath and conversed with him.“Hello, Mr. David, good morning,” Ethan calmly replied to the greeting.Even though he was speaking calmly, he was somehow annoyed at being woken from his sleep by Mr. David. He wondered what kind of news he had that would make him call him that early morning and unknowingly disrupt his sleep“Please watch the news now; you are curr

Ethan drove to his apartment after his session with Mr. Eric Blackwood.It was just a few minutes before 10:00 p.m. when he settled down on a couch in his living room.He sat down and heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he picked up his laptop from the table in front of him.The air conditioning in the room was set to twenty-four degrees, perfect enough for him to feel comfortableHe had changed the channel on the TV to play some R&B music, which he was slowly nodding his head to and singing along softly.In his hand he held the black card Mr Reginald Frost had given him a few hours ago. He wanted to check how much was on that card to see if Mr David was right about what he had told him about the cardThe first information he was able to find about a card was the fact that there were only five people who held that card, and the first name he saw was that of Mr. Reginald Frost.Ethan was puzzled as he stared blankly at the screen. He had now confirmed that Mr. David was right about what
CHAPTER 12
Ethan drove on the highway with his car windows rolled fully up. The air-conditioning was blasting his face, and he had Cher's “Believe” playing loudly from the speaker while he nodded in rhythm with the beat as he drove.The freeway was half empty, and so he drove at a hundred miles per hour without any cause for alarmFor some unknown reason, he felt very good, very satisfied, and a great deal of inner peace.He had not experienced this kind of feeling before and could not tell exactly what made him feel good.Maybe it was because he was out of jail, maybe it was because he was now a rich man, maybe it was because he now had the skill to make him a billionaire, Maybe he was finally divorced from that marriage, or maybe he was just happy to begin to get back at Ava—he did not know, but whichever was the case, he knew everything was falling into place and he had a lot to do, especially with regard to Ava and her new… or maybe old… boyfriend, Jake.Ethan smiled to himself as he thought
