Douglas Frederick

Old Master Smith sips his hot herbal tea with Leah's father Mr. Fredrick Douglas the oil tycoon on the terrace. They have been business partners for ages, Mr. Douglas is a cunning fat 50yrs old man with a wrinkled face, he looks quite older than his age.

"How is the preparation for the two families' dinner going?" Old master Smith asked.

Mr. Douglas grinned ear to ear "It going to be a great one, I have informed my friends in the entertainment world, that the media will be there to capture the moment, Leah is going to be a good wife and will give birth to the smith's heir" he assured him.

Old Master Smith felt relieved with his words "I can't wait to see them married, that stubborn grandson of mine is just messing around the street".

Mr. Douglas is a greedy man who is questioning Old Master Smith about the business proposal he talked to him "When will you sign the proposal Old Master Smith?" He asked with a sly smile on his face. He knew engaging the Smiths in his recent business will not only make him acquire more wealth but will also give him more power, people will respect him more when they find out he is the in-law of the Smiths.

Old Master Smith grinned softly "I don't get my hands dirty anymore, tell your secretary to submit the proposal to Liam's office, he is in charge not me" he answered.

Mr. Douglas mocked Old Master Smith for saying, he doesn't get his hands dirty anymore "Wow! Old Master you have changed a lot due to old age, I remember you seeing Max Scott off to prison, you know he was innocent just because he wanted to reveal your old dirty secret to the media then, you ruined his entire life and poison his wife" he laughed hysterically.

"I am not the evil uncle who sold his nephew off and step on all his property," he said with a hint of sarcasm.

Mr. Douglas laughed "He was growing wings in the business world, I had to cut it off before it grows" he defended himself. Old master Smith looked at the greedy man "You didn't even bother about how his two innocent kids are surviving" he shakes his head.

Mr. Douglas used the guillotine on the mini table to cut the top of his cigar to create an ample, he lit up his cigar "Don't act like an innocent man, you are dirtier than I am, I am sure his children are dead by now" he said with full confidence as if he had done something to them".

"Did you kill them?" Old Master Smith asked simply as if it was nothing.

Mr.Douglas smirked "I don't recognize them but I recognized that wench Bhumi, I am sure they are all dead by now," he said with assurance and stand up at his feet. "I am a busy man Old Master, I will take my leave now" he put the end of his cigar on the ashtray, he bowed slightly, and left the old man alone.

"What a greedy man" he muttered and sip his tea thinking about the past, there was a regretful look on his face.

Ezra felt a sharp pain in his head, he groaned in pain, and he rolled on the bed in discomfort, Terry woke up very early to inform the kitchen to make a hangover soup for Ezra.

The kitchen made Ox bone for Ezra for hangover soup, Terry smiled at the bowl of soup in Mr. Cameron's hand "Follow me" he said to Mr. Cameron and exit the kitchen, Mr. Cameron followed behind with a tray in his hand.

Ezra's hair was a complete mess, he was on the bed looking dull and moody, he scratches his head trying to remember what happened to him.

"Rise and Shine my love " Terry entered the bedroom with a sweet melody. Mr. Cameron handed over the soup to Terry "Call me if you need anything Young Master Terry" he bowed and left the room closing the door.

Terry sat beside Ezra "Good morning darling" he said in a sweet tone. Ezra replied with a nod "My head aches badly, what happened to me?" he asked.

Terry smiled "Don't worry baby, let me feed you this soup first so that you can feel better" he assured him. Terry takes a spoon full of the Ox bone hangover soup "Open your mouth" he instructs. Ezra opened his mouth like an obedient kid. "That my cute baby" Terry praised him and feed him more of the hangover soup.

The hospital is now like Sarah's second home, she stayed the night and will even take her shower in the hospital, Heemani slept early yesterday night, and Sarah didn't get the chance to talk about how her date went.

The nurse practitioner was checking on Heemani, she smiled at her "You are recovery so fast" she praised her.

"I have to recover very fast, I need to make money" she answered truthfully.

Sarah was observing the two ladies' conversation, she looked at the nurse vividly before she finally agrees that she was the one that came to check on Heemani before the incident, the nurse finish the check-up on Heemani "Take a rest" she said, and bowed, and she left the Ward.

Sarah knew the nurse might be of help to the mystery she wants to solve, so she excused herself in haste "I will be right back, I have to take this call" she rushes out of the ward. "What's wrong with her?" she thought for a while, she shrugged knowing Sarah was a nosy troublemaker.

The elevator was about to close, Sarah rushes in, and the nurse gave her a weird look "Are you okay?" she asked.

Sarah gave the nurse an awkward smile "Of course, I am okay, perfectly fine" she assured her showing off her invincible arm muscles. The nurse nodded "What a weird soul" she thought to herself.
