In the Hospital VIP Ward:

​Beep... beep... beep...

​The sound was annoyingly persistent.

​I tried to turn my head away from the noise but my neck didn't let it happen.

​I forced my eyes open.

​The light was bright, stinging my retinas until my eyes watered. As my vision slowly adjusted the blurred expanse above me resolved into a clean, drop-panel ceiling.

  • The Billionaire's Obsession Came Too Late   Beep Beep Beep

    In the Hospital VIP Ward:​Beep... beep... beep...​The sound was annoyingly persistent.​I tried to turn my head away from the noise but my neck didn't let it happen. ​I forced my eyes open.​The light was bright, stinging my retinas until my eyes watered. As my vision slowly adjusted the blurred expanse above me resolved into a clean, drop-panel ceiling. ​"Where am I?" I croaked. ​"Phew. The patient has finally stabilized."​A genuine sigh of relief came from the left side of my bed.​I rolled my head an inch to the side. A woman in white apron was standing nearby. She was staring at the screen that was producing the steady beep... beep... beep, her shoulders dropping as she exhaled.​"Sister..." I mumbled.Her eyes widened in absolute shock before a beaming smile broke across her face. She quickly leaned over the bed guardrail.​"Well, look who finally decided to join the land of the living," she said, her voice rich and carrying a comforting brassy warmth. She pulled a small p

  • The Billionaire's Obsession Came Too Late   The Angel With Crutches

    Through the blurry narrow slits of my failing vision the world was nothing but a swirling vortex of gray dust.​The dark shape of the aircraft hovered just above the stone plateau, kicking up a storm of loose dry hay. Then a figure dropped from the belly of the machine.​As the dust momentarily parted, my delirious mind tried to make sense of the silhouette moving toward me. He was tall, his broad shoulders blocking out the sun but his gait was entirely wrong. He was leaning heavily on a pair of crutches.​Hehe... A bubbling laugh vibrated in my throat, though I didn't have the air to actually produce the sound. An angel dropped from the heaven transportation. But do they use crutches up there as well? The aviation budget in the afterlife must be terrible if the angels need walking aids.​I was completely detached from my body now. The freezing wind didn't bite anymore. The agonizing dislocation in my right shoulder was just a dull memory. I was floating to the earth by a single thr

  • The Billionaire's Obsession Came Too Late   The Water Only Takes What You Let Go Of

    Echoes of Memory:The smell of salt was different then. It wasn't the muddy stench of the tsunami; it was the clean tang of the northern bay.​"Keep your line steady, Spring," a voice boomed beside me, rich and full of life. I looked up in my memory to see grandma, her face less wrinkled than it had been when I left for the coast, her strong hands gripping the wooden oars of our small fishing boat. The wood was painted blue, peeling slightly where the oars rested in the locks.​"It's too heavy, Grandma!" I laughed, my small eight-year-old hands slipping on the rough nylon of the fishing line as something massive tugged from the dark green depths below.​"Nothing is too heavy if you brace your feet, girl," she replied, her eyes crinkling with that familiar unyielding mischief. "The water only takes what you let go of. Hold on."​The scene shifted smoothly, the blue boat dissolved into the crystalline water of the mountain lake behind our old home. I was older now, ten or eleven, stand

  • The Billionaire's Obsession Came Too Late   The Empty Summit

    The wind at the summit felt like a weight pressing against my chest, trying to force the remaining breath from my lungs. I remained on my knees. The stone was absorbing the heat from my palm until my skin felt fused to the ancient granite.​"Is this it?" I whispered.​I forced my trembling legs to straighten, pushing myself up. The world spun. I braced my uninjured left shoulder against the pillar, waiting for the vertigo to pass, waiting for my vision to clear.Maryam had not lied about the view. From this vantage point the entire coastal region was spread out like a crumpled map of dark green and fractured slate. The endless expanse of the sea met the sky at a line. Below, the massive cliffs that had seemed so insurmountable during my ascent were reduced to small teeth biting at the fringe of the surf. The fisheries village was completely invisible, tucked away in the deep fold of the lower bay.​I was entirely, completely alone.​There was no footprint in the layer of dust cove

  • The Billionaire's Obsession Came Too Late   Where Mountain Meets Sky

    ​By the time the sun began to drop beneath the horizon, the wind began to howl through the narrow stone canyons. It was a merciless coastal wind that sliced right through the shirt Saira had given me. My teeth began to chatter violently.​I stopped on a narrow ledge and looked down.The fisheries village was completely swallowed by the shadows of the lower cliffs. The ocean was a vast stretching out into infinity. I was entirely alone in a terrifying wilderness of unknown.​Suddenly mist began to roll down from the summit. It moved like a living breathing entity, a silent blanket that instantly swallowed the remaining ambient light, reducing my visibility to less than three feet. The narrow path vanished entirely beneath the white fog.​"No, no, no," I panicked. My left hand gripped a rock so tightly. I tried to peer through the haze, but it was impenetrable. "Not now. Please, not now."​I remembered Kareem’s stern warning. I dropped to my knees, scrambling toward a small shallow inde

  • The Billionaire's Obsession Came Too Late   One More Step For You

    ​"I don't understand," I murmured shaking my head. "Why are you telling me this?"​"Because the old people of this coast believe that the mountain possesses an ancient pull," Maryam's voice dropped to a reverent whisper."If you want something from the very depth of your heart—if your soul is screaming for something you have lost and you offer a prayer at that stone altar, the universe will grant it to you. Your husband is lost to the physical world down here. But if you climb into the mist and beg the mountain, it might just accept your prayer. It might bring him back to you."​A strange spark ignited within my chest. It was crazy. It was completely illogical. August was a modern corporate billionaire who believed in power; he would have scoffed at the idea of mountain altars or ancient prayers. I lived in that same world of logic and wealth. But logic had not saved him from the ocean. Logic had not kept his heart beating when his lungs were filled with seawater.​I was no longer a
