Alex stood in the room, looking at his two best friends in shock.

"No, John. You are not going to draft that bet and sign it. I don't agree to it," Alex said, wanting to stop his two best friends from going on with the crazy bet.

"Have you guys thought about it? If Helen found out that you two placed a bet on her, what will happen to her? Will she be able to withstand the embarrassment? I am going to tell her so that she doesn't agree with any of your bet," Alex said, but before he could leave the room,

John and Samuel caught him by his shirt and growled at him.

"You will not dare to do that. Except you want to see your father's company go bankrupt."

"What?" Alex's jaw dropped. "Are you guys threatening me? What is so special about Helen that you all want to humiliate her? Just let her be. Please…" Alex said, as he looked at his friends.

They let go of his shirt, and John brought out a cigarette to smoke, as he was a politician's son.

"I will not let Helen off the hook. She crossed the line, and it's only best that she paid for it," he said, and Alex sighed.

"Fine. Deal with it. But know that I am not a part of it."

Alex wanted to leave the room, but John blocked his path. "You will be a witness to the bet. Samuel, draft the bet and send the documents to me to sign. You can use DocuSign to draft it."

Alex's brows furrowed, as he couldn't believe that John was forcing him to be a witness of the bet.

Samuel brought out his phone and drafted the bet.

"Done. I have sent the copy to you," he said.

John grinned as he let go of Alex's shirt. He brought out the document, read it, and signed.

"15 million dollars await the winner if you win this bet, Samuel, and if you lose, I get 15 million dollars. And if Alex breaks the deal and leaks it out, you are going to pay us 15 million dollars each as witness to the deal," John said, as he played a voice recording of the things he said, and Alex's jaw dropped.

"Have you fụcking lost your mind, John? How dare you record this and threaten me with money? Where do I get 15 million dollars from? Do you think my father is as rich as yours?" Alex yelled at John, hating that he saw John as his friend. John hardly forgave anyone who wronged him.

"Then you keep your lips shut. If you leak this bet, then you will spend the rest of your life paying us 15 million dollars each," John said, his voice cold, and Alex gulped hard.

"Fine. Do as you wish. I am out of here," Alex left the room, breathing heavily. He knew that he couldn't break the deal or leak the bet. It was best for John and Samuel to see who would win and lose until after their final year.

After Alex left the room, John sat smoking, and Alex reminded him, "You know that smokers are liable to die young. Yet, you smoke at this young age. Don't you value your life?"

John scowled as he continued smoking. "I do smoke only when I am angry."

"This is a medical department of this university. It's not advisable to smoke here. Why not quit and join the political department? Why waste your time chasing medicines?" Samuel asked, as he sat on his bed and looked at John.

"My dad wants me to take over my mother's pharmaceutical company, while my older brother will take over his political office. So you see, I don't stand a chance against Shadrack," John grumbled, knowing his older brother was his father's favorite.

"It's fine. You should focus more on your studies. I can help you with the practical if you are willing to stay focused," Samuel said, and John looked at him and laughed.

"That reminds me. How did you manage to pass your own papers? Because I hardly see you read or study. Yet, you just pick the pen and write, and you pass them. It's always you or that chubby nerd, but you don't study hard like she does," John finished smoking, his gaze fixed on Samuel.

"You seem to forget that my father owned one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies and hospital in this state. So I am already aware of how to mix drugs and how his company works. Only that I need to pass the exam and graduate with a degree. So what do you expect? If I don't get my MSc Pharmacy, Bachelor of Pharmacy certificate, and my MPharm Master of Pharmacy degree, it will seem like I didn't go to the university of science, and I am a fake pharmacist, so I had to come here," Samuel concluded as he laid on his bed, resting, and knowing that only the theory exam was left.

John's eyes widened in shock.

"Then that means you can help me. Why did I not think of you and went to ask that chubby nerd? I still have to deal with her," John grumbled, and Samuel laughed.

"I know. The same as I want to sleep with her too. So don't worry about me losing the deal. I have my ways," Samuel smirked, and John's brows furrowed.

"I will be watching you, Samuel. Just know that rápe is not part of the deal. If you rápe Helen, you lose. You have to win her over before sexïng her and dumping her. That's the deal," John said, with a smirk, and Samuel picked his pillow and tossed it at John, who was done smoking.

"Fụck you, John. I never ráped a woman, and I will not start with Helen. 15 million dollars is nothing to my bank account. You barely know what I am capable of," Samuel said with a smirk, and John frowned, thinking about it.

Just then, Samuel's phone rang, and his father was the one calling him.

"Excuse me, John," Samuel said, as he sat up on the bed and picked up his father's call.

"Hello, Dad," Samuel said, and his father's hard voice barked at him.

"You fụcking idiot. How dare you supply the Robert's CEO with the potent stroke-curing medicine that you created?" Mr. Noah Kingston barked at the phone.

"What? Dad, what are you talking about?" Samuel asked, his voice filled with confusion.

"Don't play dumb, Samuel. Or do you think that I do not know that you secretly created potent medicine in school? Well, that's aside. The Robert Pharmaceutical has been affecting our market stock, and I had them go bankrupt. Luckily, Mr. Henry Robert, the CEO of Robert Pharmaceutical, suffered from a stroke after losing all his funding to my subordinate that I sent to scam him. And now, you helped him to survive. How could you do that, Samuel? I am withdrawing all your funding and closing your bank account, you ungrateful son!" Mr. Noah yelled, and the call ended.

Samuel stared at his phone, too shocked to react, and John looked at him in surprise, as he heard what Samuel's father had said. He had no idea that Samuel was creating the potent drugs that were sold for 1 million dollars per bottle. No wonder Samuel was ready to pay 15 million dollars for the bet.

The atmosphere in the room thickened until Samuel's phone rang again, and it was his mother, Stacey, calling him.

    "Mom, where's Dad?" Ruth asked as she walked up to the dining table to meet her mother."He went upstairs. You should go and call him," Stacey said as she set up the dinner around the table."Alright, Mom," Ruth replied happily as she darted back to the stairs and went to the top floor to call her father. Her loud voice resonated in the mansion."Dad, dinner is ready!" Ruth shouted, her voice echoing on the top floor. She was the baby of the house and very playful too.Meanwhile, Samuel took his seat on the chair, and his mother looked at him and smiled."Samuel, is everything alright?" She peered at him curiously."Of course, Mom. I am fine," he replied with a calm voice, and his mother assured him, "Don't worry. I will speak with your father later."Samuel gave a nod and waited for his father to join him for dinner. The sound of his father's footsteps alighting the stairs with his younger sister echoed in the living room.A few minutes later, they arrived and joined Samuel and his m

    Meanwhile, Stacey walked out of the kitchen after she was done setting up dinner. She walked up to meet her husband and asked him, "Honey, aren't you being too harsh and judgmental on Samuel? I asked him why he helped the Roberts' family heiress, and he said that he just helped her because she is more intelligent than him and the one who scored the highest in his department.""And you believe him? This explains to you why you should warn him to stay away from that family. Mr. Henry Roberts has fine medicines, even if they don't work as actively as ours; they are still potent and sold at a cheaper rate. I have warned Samuel. If I get to find out that he is dating that Roberts' daughter, I will deal with her on my own.""Honey, you will not commit any crime. What will you do to her?" Stacey looked at her husband worriedly."That's left for me to do. Just warn Samuel not to disclose our business to other families. I am not stopping him from continuing his studies because he needs the cer

    Stacey breathed out heavily and replied, "That's fine. You should stay away from Helen and don't have anything to do with her. I do not like her, and I will not approve of your affair with her. She is too chubby and will get old easily."Samuel's eyes widened in surprise as he picked up an apron to tie around his neck, but his mother stopped him."What are you trying to do? You just got back from the university, and you're tying the apron. Don't worry; I will make dinner alone," Stacey said, her hand reaching to stop Samuel from tying the apron."You should go and have your bath upstairs. I will make dinner alone," Stacey said, her voice soft, but Samuel shook his head and replied, "No, Mom. I want to help you. I want to learn how to cook so that I can cook for my wife in the future."Stacey's eyes widened in shock at Samuel's statement. She smiled and replied, "Alright. But definitely not that chubby girl from the Roberts family."Samuel smiled as his hands reached for the apron agai

    "Wow! That was close! I hadn't expected the crowd. Oh no! I didn't get this from the Kingstons," Helen said, after Senator Jerry had left with his security escort. Her heart was still pounding so loud in her chest.Mrs. Rosemary smiled at her daughter and replied, "It's fine, Helen. What matters is that you saved your father's life.""Alright, Mom," Helen breathed out heavily. Just then, she got a message alert that her food had arrived, but she was nervous to leave the hospital room."I will help you get it, sister," Patrick offered, as he was relieved to see his father was fine and better. The physiotherapist doctor had come to check on him and said he would resume his physiotherapy the following day before he got discharged from the hospital.Helen was grateful as she gave her older brother her phone to receive the two meals that she had ordered. She ordered one for him and for herself, since her parents had already eaten. She saw that her father's illness had taken a toll on Patri

    "Dad, all that aside, where do we get the money to pay up the 50 million dollars that you lost, and who is the man that scammed you? You need to help the police with their investigation," Patrick said, as he had already hired two security men to stand by his father's hospital room door."You're right. I will give you all his information after I am done eating," Mr. Henry replied, while Patrick sighed with relief.Helen was famished, so she went to sit down on the chair that her mother had stood up from."Mom, why were brothers Paul, Zion, and Caleb mad at me when I arrived earlier?" She asked, her eyes fixated on her parents' faces.Patrick and their mother, Rosemary, frowned after they heard Helen's inquiry."Helen, it's because your father willed his company to you," Rosemary replied calmly."What?" Helen's eyes widened in shock, and her parents smiled at her."That's true, Helen. You're a pharmacist, and I want you to work there after your graduation from the university. I believe

  • Once Rejected, Now Desired.    Episode 10

    Helen's heart softened under her mother's warm embrace. She hadn't expected that her father would automatically recover and even be able to talk and move his hands and legs on his own—something that he had not been able to do on his own before."Helen, do you have anything to say to the media? What university did you study with? Is it the well-known renowned University of Science in this city?" An interviewer asked, and Helen got to realize that it was because her father's company went bankrupt, and it was announced on the news that he was owing hundreds of workers' salaries. Not just that, some other hospitals that he was supposed to supply his medicine to, he failed to meet up with the supply. But now that he had been miraculously cured, they hoped that Helen would take over Roberts Pharmaceutical and distribute the medicine to other hospitals with other stroke victims too."Miss Helen! Can you share more insight on how you got this miraculous medicine? Who created it, and what ingr
