RENZO

Grace gasped.

I lifted two extra fingers, irritated.

She went still, her breath caught halfway out like she’d been trained to do it that way—which she had. Years under my roof taught people when to freeze and when to run.

She froze.

“Enter,” I said.

The door opened just enough for a head to slip through. A man in a white jacket, hat tucked under his arm came into view. At the sight of us, his face paled. I knew he just realised he'd walked into the wrong room with the wrong people.

He d

    ZARIA That also meant my days of ‘normal’ were over.Was it Grace? Her voice was unmistakable over the landline. No. Grace wouldn’t do that. Reasons?My mind gave me two solid reasons and the first was: She wasn't a hacker. Secondly; she was old. I exhaled slowly and shook my head, forcing the thought aside.I was tired. Pregnant. On edge.That was all.I turned toward the seeds section, scanning the shelves carefully. I was looking for moringa seeds and was asked by Uncle Thomas to grab a handful. Shit. Where was this fucking seed?!The noise of the supermarket didn’t stop as people still talked, baskets still scraped the floor, coins still clinked… but it all dulled, like someone had shoved cotton into my ears and turned the world down a notch.That couldn’t be Hawk.I knew that.I had to know that.Hawk was Renzo's hunting dog. He didn’t just appear randomly in village supermarkets halfway across the world. A loyal dog wouldn't wander far away from its master. If Hawk were he

    ZARIA Work resumed in a way that felt almost surreal.After the rush of adrenaline, and the bright satisfaction of finally scoring a strategic goal against Rosita Dominico, life simply… went on. I couldn't place it.Normal was the best way to describe it.The patients we desperately wanted— came (I didn't pray for anyone to die). Children cried. Elders complained of back and waist pain as they gnashed their yellow teeth. There were about a dozen herbs that needed sorting, drying, measuring, and grinding. The number of times I needed to wash my hands was ridiculous not to mention the number of times Wang had to wash Uncle Thomas's tools.What about the bodies needing care? Especially bedridden patients. So yeah, work was damn hectic… and yet, something inside me had shifted.No, scratch that out. Shift was an understatement. My body felt changed. I moved through the day lighter than usual, my thoughts were clearer, even though I kept my face calm and neutral so no one would ask qu

    RENZO His jaw dropped. “What the—”I laughed, even as the nurse—Sabrina plunged a needle into my arm. The medicine burned, but my smile didn’t fade.“Do it,” I said softly.Asher didn’t argue again, not after the look I gave him. He stepped away from the bed while Sabrina finished taping the IV line in place, her hands trembling slightly even though she tried to hide it. I gave her a soft smile. Her cheeks flushed red.Meanwhile, Asher turned his back to everyone else and pressed the phone to his ear. It rang twice before the call connected.“Yes, ma’am,” he said immediately, his posture straightening without him meaning to. “He’s conscious, but it’s not good.”I watched his face carefully as he listened, noting the slight tightening of his jaw. I could only picture my mother having her brunch this instant.“Yes,” Asher continued. “Main hospital. Private wing.”There was a brief pause, and then he nodded even though she couldn’t see him.“She’s on her way,” he said when the call en

    RENZO I laughed quietly. “It doesn’t.”“It should,” he said. “Next time, you might not wake up to a snoring nurse.”My gaze drifted to the door.Somewhere outside, voices murmured. My men were waiting and watching.I closed my eyes briefly. Shit. It was too early to die. There were too many loose ends and lies…I opened my eyes again.“When do I start treatment?” I said softly.The doctor studied me, then shook his head. “We have no cure.”I stared at him for a full three seconds, then four, before I laughed.“Ha!”It tore out of my chest roughly, scraping raw on the way out, but I laughed anyway. I tipped my head back slightly against the pillow as the machines beside me stuttered and sped up, almost like they were offended by my audacity.“We have no cure,” the words came out of my mouth slowly… I let it sit on my tongue for a second. “That’s the joke?”Doctor Ivan didn’t move, and he didn’t even smile. He just looked at me the same way people looked at loaded guns when they were

    RENZO Every bump sent pain shooting through my chest and my breathing started coming out shallow and uneven.We screeched into the hospital lot twenty minutes later.My men were already there.They rushed toward me, hands outstretched. “Boss—”“Fuck off,” I growled, batting them away as I forced myself out of the car. My legs shook, but I moved anyway, shoving past them toward the entrance.Asher was right behind me, swearing under his breath.The lights inside were too bright. The floor tilted again. I made it three steps in before everything went black.I never felt myself hit the ground.__________________My eyes fluttered open.Light stabbed into my skull first. Fucking hell.It was white… and the steady beep-beep-beep of a monitor drilled straight into my head like a metronome designed by a sadist. My throat was dry. My chest felt heavy, like someone had parked a truck on it and forgotten to move it.I blinked once.Then again.The room slowly came into focus. Yeah, it was th

    RENZO Elix sucked in a breath.“What?” she asked, the word coming out harsher than she probably meant it to. She stepped closer to the desk, curling her manicured fingers against the edge of the table as she stared at the bag resentfully. “That doesn’t make sense.”Doesn't it? I watched her carefully. She lifted her head and looked at me and something flickered in her eyes. It was more of annoyance, worry, and calculation than suspicion. I narrowed my eyes at her. Spelling the words: Yes, go on.Then she hissed softly under her breath. “Renzo, is that why you’re here?” she asked quietly. “Is that why you’re disturbing my father? He is seated at his throne for fuck’s sake.”Emilio leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing. “Elix—”She raised a hand without looking at him. “No,” she said. “Let me handle this. You brought me here for this, remember?”Well, it seemed like father and daughter weren't in agreement. “So.” I urged. Whatever she has to say must make sense to be or else…He
