Outside the cabin, more than six police helicopters shone their bright lights on the cabin, and more than sixteen police vehicles surrounded the cabin.The policemen all alighted the vehicles fully armed with weapons and trained them on the cabin and were ready to shoot at a moment’s notice.“This is the police! Keep your hands in the air and exit the cabin obediently; otherwise we will be obligated to use forceful means.” A police officer who seemed to be in charge of the rescue operation said loudly.Michael, who maintained his composure during the duration of Darius’ fight with the kidnappers could not maintain his composure when faced with such an extravagant line up of policemen.“What are they doing here?!” Michael yelled loudly, his face paling in horror. The appearance of the police made him incredibly panicked.As the current head of the Finn conglomerate, he could not be involved in any controversial issues, or the hard work he and his ancestors had put to grow the Finn cong
Beads of sweat drooped down Darius’ face when faced with the menacing pistol in Michael’s hand. The safety of the pistol was off, and the moment Michael pulled the trigger, a bullet would be embedded in Darius’ heart. Darius felt genuine fear when faced with the gun trained on his heart. He wasn’t a fool, so he knew that with the amount of training he had now, there was no absolutely no way he could dodge a bullet. The instant Michael shot him, Darius would be a goner. Alice’s eyes widened in shock and horror the second she saw the menacing pistol in Michael’s hands; and her heart started pounding rapidly. Her blood immediately ran cold, and she had never felt so much fear in her life before. “Wait!” Darius bellowed loudly just as Michael was about to pull the trigger. Michael paused and looked at Darius with a sinister gaze; while the police officers outside the cabin moved closer to the cabin the moment they saw a firearm in Michael’s hands. “Do you have any last words?” Michael
“What do you mean by you lost him?!” The chief police officer in charge of the kidnapping case yelled into the walkie-talkie.The police officer with the walkie-talkie grimaced at his superior’s harsh tone. He knew that they would be receiving an earful the moment he returned from the search.“It’s exactly what I said chief. There’s no track anymore. We can’t find him at all. It’s almost as if he just disappeared from the forest.” The police officer replied bitterly.“And you want me to believe that?!” The chief police officer yelled angrily.“Chief-”“Never mind. I shouldn’t have trusted you lot with something so important. Come back now; and don’t let me wait for you more than necessary!” The chief police officer yelled furiously and ended the conversation.The police officer sighed and raised his head to the other police officers before yelling.“Stop searching and pack up! We’re going back!”The police officers obeyed his orders and started packing, and in less than a minute, the
The moment the doctor exited the operation theatre; Alice, Darius’ grandfather and Bruce all rushed forward to meet him. They were very anxious about the outcome of the surgery, and the last few hours of wait was very torturous to them.“How is my grandson?! Is he okay?!” Darius’ grandfather asked in a voice that left no room for a negative response.The doctor gulped when faced with Darius’ grandfather’s questioning. He didn’t know much about the old man in front of him, but from his regal demeanor, he could tell that he was not someone he could offend. His years of experience as a surgeon told him that.“Your grandson is very alright sir. The surgery was a 100% success; and it’s only a matter of time before he is back to full health.” The doctor said carefully, afraid that any of his words would anger the old man in front of him.Luckily; the old man didn’t get angry at his words, and only breathed out a sigh of relief. Alice also made use of this opportunity to slip away from Dariu
Greg and his friends’ astonishment were very understandable; as the person who entered the room was none other than Janet Fox, the number two beauty in Kingston University! Janet was dressed casually, her blonde hair tied into a lazy ponytail. However, her casual dress did nothing to hide her ethereal like beauty and her hourglass shape. Her beauty was even more pronounced by the casual clothing she wore. “Darius! What happened to you?” Janet asked worriedly the moment she entered the room, and did something completely shocking the next moment and threw herself right on to Darius who lay on the bed! Greg, Marcus and Rudd all had extremely shocked expression on their faces, like they had just seen a fish run on land. This was the second ranked beauty in Kingston University! How on earth did Darius manage to get so close to Janet Fox?! Darius was also quite shocked himself, if not more shocked at Janet’s behavior. While they knew each other, they could certainly be called acquaintan
Darius was still in the hospital, but was rapidly recovering due to the effects of the self healing trait the golden liquid gave him.He had been in Serene Hospital for two days now, and according to the doctor, he would be discharged from the hospital in the next two days; and he was recommended to do some light exercises before his discharge. As such, Darius decided to walk around the hospital to heed the doctor’s instruction.The atmosphere in the hospital was serene and tranquil, with the sounds of machines beeping echoing in the hallway.Darius walked unhurriedly, and a melancholic feeling slowly came over him as he walked. He could see the different people suffering from various illnesses restrained to their hospital rooms as he walked.He could hear them speak in sad voices to their loved ones. He was well aware that some of them were having what would be their last conversations as the minutes went by.As he walked slowly, he came in contact with a lady in her early twenties.
There was a look of disbelief on Director Yul’s face when she heard Darius domineering statement.‘Not anymore?’‘What does he mean by not anymore?’‘He’s joking, right?’The doctors, nurses and patients who were attracted by the commotion happening were also shocked at Darius’ statement. They couldn’t understand how someone that was barely in his twenties was claiming to dismiss Director Yul from her duties.Moreover, with the resolute expression on Darius’ face, it didn’t seem like he was joking at all!“You overestimate yourself!” Director Yul stated angrily.“I am the Director of this hospital, so who do you think you are to decide whether I continue to work in this hospital or not?” Director Yul asked angrily.Darius didn’t say anything in response to her question but simply walked away. Vera followed him quite closely, but not before giving Director Yul a cold hard glare.He walked back to his hospital room after parting ways with Vera as she had to tend to her sick mother befor
Just as he concluded his phone call with Erin, he heard a soft knock outside his room.Darius furrowed his eyebrows at the knock, but said calmly.“Come in.”The door opened and a familiar pretty young lady walked in. This young lady was of course Vera.“Hello Darius.” Vera greeted softly, her eyes peeking towards the ground.“Hello Vera. How may I help you?” Darius asked; confusion lacing his tone.Vera pushed forward a basket filled with fruits towards Darius before saying in a shy tone.“I didn’t know that you were admitted to the hospital. I thought that you were here to visit someone who was already sick. I’ve brought these fruits for you to aid your recovery and make you recover quickly.” Vera said shyly.Darius had a small smile on his face after hearing Vera’s words. He stretched his hands and took a fruit from the basket before eating it in her presence.“Thank you.” Darius said as he ate the fruit; and the fact that she thought about him in such a way and even went ahead to
