Sold to the Ruthless Master

Bethany Pov

I pour the whole poison into the drink and shake it well and place it on the tray before going to his room.

I met him quite busy with his computer and I smirk, Death awaits for you Lucian, you can’t escape this anymore.

“Hey, I got you a drink, I know you’ll be busy now, so I got you a coffee”

“That’s good of you, thanks”He mumbled and I hand it over to him, he use the spoon to turn it well before placing it in his mouth and gulp down the whole content at once.

I heaved a sigh of relief as he finish the coffee.

Finally, the devil is gone.

“Thanks”He smiled and hand the cup over to me back.

“You’re welcome, I will drop this in the kitchen now”

“Okay”He nodded and I walk out of the room, I jump for joy immediately I noticed no one is around.

“Thank you Lord”I smiled in satisfaction as I walk to the kitchen.

Now, everything is done, it’s time to leave.

I rush back to the room and pack few of my luggages, credit cards.

Luckily for me, there’s nobody in the corridor and leaving room so I leave the house hastily.

Lucian Pov

The next morning.

I woke up feeling so weak and less energetic which is unlike me.

I stretch my arms tiredly and collapse on the bed again.

Gosh!

What’s wrong?

Shortly, Lily entered the room and wall up to me.

“Good morning sir”She greeted and I only nodded.

“Which of the cars are you taking out sir, so I can wash it”

“Don’t…”I was about to talk when I start coughing repeatedly, she walk closer to me and touch my body.

“So there anything wrong?”She asked in panic and I shook my head.

“Call me… call the…”

“Sir!!”She scream in shock as I start coughing out blood.

“Help me, somebody help”She scream at the top of her voice and the guards rush in including Daniel.

“Dude, what’s wrong?”He ask shaking me a little and I continue coughing.

“Go prepare the cars and call his doctor to be at alert, we are taking him to the hospital”Daniel yelled and some rush out to carry his orders while others help me carry me outside.

Lily’s Pov

God!

What’s wrong with him?

He’s never been sick since I came here?

I sniffed as as I trail behind the guards and soon enough, we got to the car, they carried him in andi was about to enter when Daniel stopped me.

“Stay with Mariam, You shouldn’t stress yourself in this your condition”

“I’ll never be at peace if I didn’t follow you guys to the hospital, let me go with you”

“Okay then, hop in the car”He said and I open the car door and he drive fastly out of the compound.

He kept groaning in pains and coughing ad well, I couldn’t help but cry, I held his hand and cup his cheeks.

“Be strong for me, please”I cried and he smiled dizzily.

“I… I…”

“Don’t say anything”I cut him off and soon, we got to the hospital.

According to Daniel orders, the doctors have prepared themselves and a carrier was wheeled to our car, the nurse carry him out of the car and laid him carefully on the carrier before wheeling him in.

Three hours later…

I paced to and fro in the room expecting the doctor to come out.

Daniel left already to help him bring a new clothes because the one he wore had been soaked with blood already.

“What are they doing since?”I muttered to myself and soon, the doctor came out of the room with a sullen face tho.

“Ma’am, what’s wrong?” I asked curiously and she sighed.

“Let his friend be here first, when he’s back, tell him to give the nurse his clothes and you should see me together in my office”

“Can’t you say it now?”

“I can’t, you won’t be able to handle it as a lady and your condition, let his friend come first.

“Okay”I nodded and she walk out of me.

I collapse on the chair and burst into tears.

She said I won’t be able to handle it.

What could be wrong?

He’s a strong man.

Not long after, Daniel came and I ran to him.

“Easy”He said calmly and I sniffed.

“Is the doctor out?”He asked and I nodded.

“Yes, he said we should come see her when you’re back, I even try to tell the doctor to tell me what happened but she said I won’t be able to handle it”

“Is it that critical?”He asked in surprise and I nodded.

“I’ll give the nurse his clothes now so we can go to her together”

“Okay”

When he’s done giving them the clothes, we both went to the doctor and she welcome us warmly.

“So, when you brought him here earlier in the morning, we conducted series of test for him and the results are out, we realized that he’s Poisoned”

“Poisoned?”I amd Daniel chorused at the same time.

Who poisoned him?

But I’m the one handling his meals, who could have done that?

“Also, the poison has been given to him thrice, the first and second one was in a tea while the third one is in a coffee, we were able to get some substance out of the poison and I realized that this same poison was banned three years ago when caught with a drug dealer, Mykel, and it was no longer in existence.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I must confess that the drug is a very deadly one and has weaken his cells a lot, so to recover is a very hard task for him”

“You mean there’s no cure to all this?”Daniel asked still blenched and she nodded.

“Although, I heard there’s a cure to the drug once but it’s a rumour, I don’t believe in that, But there’s a solution, which is a gradual process, it might take two months for him to respond to treatment, as at now, he will be showing symptoms of different sickness and we will be giving him injections, drips and drugs until these sickness stops”

“God!”Daniel groaned banging the desk and I burst into tears.

“Secondly, I’d like not to let Lily be involve in all this because of her condition, she needs lots of care at this moment”

“Okay, thanks, can we see him now?”

“Yes, but please don’t disturb him”

“Okay, we won’t, Lily let’s go”
