Jaden was laid on a stretcher, I hold the stretcher as the nurses were pushing my brother inside the hospital.
"Please, save my brother" I pleaded with tears seeping to my cheeks.
The nurse pushed my brother inside the emergency ward, he was removed from the stretcher and placed on a bed in the emergency ward.
Instantly the nurses started attending to my brother, a nurse injected drugs into saline and put a drip into my brother's veins, when the nurse is done, she asked me to follow her to collect a medical Card for my brother.
I follow her to the reception to collect the medical card.
"Attend to her quickly, the doctor need's her in his office", the nurse instructed the receptionist and leaves.
" What is your brother's name?" one of the receptionists asked me.
"Jayden smith".
The receptionist write the name on the medical card and filled in some other columns on the card before she gave it to me.
" go to the accountant and deposit fifty dollars ", the receptionist said.
I looked at the accountant and asked her the amount again to confirm if I heard her right which she answered and it was the same amount of money.
I don't have that amount of money with me, "where would I see it?" I asked myself inwardly and walk towards the accountant's office.
"if is to beg her, I will have to do something" I mumbled inwardly.
I was stopped halfway by the shout of the receptionist, I turn around and walked back to the reception.
" Miss, you didn't pay for the medical card," the receptionist said angrily.
"Why is she angry?" I asked myself rhetorical questions.
"How much," I stuttered.
I am afraid of hearing the cost because I don't have money with me, I was still thinking of where to get deposit fees.
" TEN DOLLARS," the nurse answered rudely.
"Okay," I replied and, I unzipped the cross bag on me, to bring out a few copies of money I squeezed inside.
Firstly I straightened the squeezed money before I count it, It was a total of eleven dollars. I breathed out deeply after I confirmed the amount is more than the medical card fees.
I gave ten dollars to the receptionist, they looked at me with a mockery stare which I didn't care, I saw them murmuring between themselves, the kind of squeeze money I brought out when I am counting the money, I didn't bother to look at them because am only bothered on how to save my brother, I made the payment and leave their sight.
I move towards accountant's office with my heart thumping hastily, I join the queue, though I don't have money to pay.
the accountant is busy attending to people on the queue "Move forward and if you are not ready, get lost on the queue"it was the shout of the people at my back that interrupted me out of my reverie, I was lost in thought, I was imagining the reaction that will broach after explaining my situation to the accountant.
"Embarrassment filled me instantly, I had to leave the queue with timidness, the courage to face the accountant was no longer in me, I have to go and plead with the doctor instead
The doctor didn't reply when I knocked on his office door, I pushed the door open when I get tired of waiting without his response.
My brother needed proper attention, so I have to push the door open, it revealed a handsome guy in his late thirty, his gaze was fixed on the documents he is working on.
" I didn't remember answering you to come in," he said with his gaze fixed on the documents his working on.
"Good day sir, the nurse said you need my attention in your office," I said to him.
I can't allow him to annoy me because I need his favor, I said in my head
He lift his eye and saw me, he gasped.
"Oh, am sorry miss, I thought it was my staff, I sent an errand that's knocking," he said in a pleading tone.
"There is no problem's sir" I replied to him.
Though it is nasty behavior even if is his staff, I expect much from a doctor, everyone deserves to be respected.
I pulled out a chair for myself and sit,
"What can I do for you?", he asked me
"Is he dumb, he sent for me" I muttered to my ear alone.
I explained my situation to him, I let him know that I don't have a father again, and my only brother is in their hospital fighting for his life.
'This is not a charity organization miss, I understand you, but this is a business organization where we paid staff and without the patient payment, the hospital won't be able to pay their staff likewise, I implore you to go outside there and find money to save your brother, I will ask them to conduct test for your brother before you come back with the money, that is the only help I can render.
"Your brother would be left with the first treatment until you deposit the money" the doctor added.
I stared at the doctor and grinned
"Why are you wicked?, after telling you my father is late, I'm only left with my brother, we have no one who I can to for help, yet he still said they are not a charity organization" I mumbled
"I shouldn't have disturbed myself explaining my problem to him," I said in my head.
" Doctor I will find money, please don't let my brother die" I manage to beg him though he deserves my insult, I appreciate him for saying he will allow my brother to be tested.
" thank you," I said and bowed slightly.
"Go and find the money to save your brother miss"
he repeated as am moving towards his door.
I walked out of his office with tears on my face, I don't know where to go or who to call until one person ring in my head and that is my biological mother who disowned us before I lost my father.
I don't want to have anything to do with her again, I have vowed not to ask for her help again, my father died of illness and she has the money to treat my father but she refused to help upon my pleading to her.
I decide to take the long walk to her office since I don have any money with me and I can't use the remaining one dollar with me to take a cab to her office, I have to keep it for an emergency.

"What can I do for you? the secretary asked me when I reach my mother's office.
it was a different Secretary I met two years ago when I came here to ask for my mum's help to treat my father's illness.
"Who did you say you are looking for?" the secretary asked me again with a look of irritation after telling her am looking for my mother.
"I'm looking for my mother" I reiterate
The secretary looked at me like feces, I can't blame her, no one will believe I'm the daughter of the CEO of OREBS COSMETIC, the most influential woman in the cosmetics business, with the way I looked, the clothes I wore has worn out, I looked shabby and messy, my hair looked dirty, I haven't wash my hair for the past two weeks
I believed am smelling though I can't perceive myself others might perceive me.
I could have put on something better, if not because I came here from the hospital directly.
"if you come here to beg for money, this is not a charity organization," the secretary said sarcastically.
I feel like dragging her hair and giving her the beating of the century, but I don't have the strength for that.
"Called your boss out, let see if she will deny me or not ''I yelled at the Secretary angrily.
" madam is not around, and I'm sure you are not her daughter, I have not heard her mention having a daughter and every staff here knows her only son," she said to my face.
I scoffed "That must be her rude stepson" I mumbled.
I was shocked when the secretary called in security to throw me outside, they carried me like a beggar and thrown me outside the gate.
I stood outside the gate with tears flowing out of my eyes, I couldn't stop nor clean the tears, I allowed the tears to flow down, I need it right now because if I don't allow it to flow down I might explode inside, am tired of this life already.
I stood there waiting for my mum, she is the last hope I have and I have to endure the humiliation and wait for her.
After few minutes
A car drove in and I Recognized the car to belong to my mother, I trailed after the car inside, the gateman screamed at me immediately he sighted me.
'Leave her" my mother said as she see how the gateman is trying to carry me.
She gets down from the car with his rude stepson.
"Mum what is she doing here" I heard her stepson asking my mummy.
"My mummy didn't reply instead she instructed me to follow her which I did into her office.
I entered the office with her, the secretary looked at me with a scornful look again, she tried explaining herself to my mummy.
" she's my disowned daughter" mummy shunned her with the response and she told her not to feel bad for treating me like that," you are doing your job rightly," she said to her.
I feel bitter seeing my mother treating me as trash the same way her staff treated me, I expect her to rebuke the Secretary for treating me unjustly but she praise her instead.
" what are you doing here? the last time I remembered you coming here, you blamed me for your father's died and vowed never to step your foot in my office again" my mother said sarcastically.
I went on my knees instantly " mummy please I'm sorry, it was a slip of tongue, Jayden is sick and I need FIFTY DOLLARS to deposit for his payment " I said to mummy emotionally.
Instantly mummy open her bag and counted FIFTY DOLLARS for me.
"This is the money, let today be the last time I will ever see you in my office, my stepson is not comfortable seeing you around me likewise my husband and I don't want a problem in my family," she said and stretched the money to me.
I collected the money, though I wish I could reject the money, but I endure the pain and the rage in my heart and collect the money.

Elodie took a deep breath and knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor. A moment of silence passed, broken only by the pounding of her heart. Finally, the door snicked open, revealing a surprised Dashiell. 'Can't you see the Do Not Disturb sign? We don't want-' His initial frown quickly morphed into confusion at the sight of his wife. 'What are you doing here?' he demanded. 'Your girlfriend invited me,' Elodie replied, her voice laced with icy calm. She tried to peer past him, but his broad frame blocked the view. A saccharine voice chimed in from within the room. 'Elodie? Oh dear, we didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's just that-' Elodie cut her short. 'Oh please, Selene. Spare me the fake apologies. You wouldn't have sent me all those texts if you didn't want me to know.' Dashiell shifted uncomfortably, his face a mask of annoyance. 'What texts?' Elodie stepped past him, taking in the luxurious suite with a sardonic smile. The king-sized bed, the scattered rose petals, the lingering scent of sex – it all painted a vivid picture of their betrayal. She looked up at Dashiell, her gaze unwavering.

As Elodie thrives in her new role, Dashiell is consumed by regret. He finally sees Elodie for the extraordinary woman she truly is, realising the depth of his mistake. But will his remorse be enough to win back the heart he so carelessly discarded?
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
