" Ma'am the operation theatre and the patient are ready", A nurse said to a blonde hair woman who is sitting in her office checking out some files.
"I will be there shortly", she said.
"okay ma'am", the nurse replied bowing slightly as a sign of respect and went out if her office.
The lady worn her green surgical outfits and carried her stethoscope in her hands heading out of her office towards the theatre.
"Good day Miss Vera", a male doctor greeted her when she entered the operation room.
"Good day Doctor Clement, let's start this exercise. The patient's life is very important and we shouldn't waste time here", she said looking at the doctors and nurses.
"Nurse Fidelia, please give us a report on the state on the patient so we can know what we are dealing with", she said facing dark complexioned nurse standing beside her.
"Alright ma'am, the patient was rushed in here today at about 8:59 am. He was shot in the stomach, the police have already been contacted about the incident so we are free to start doctor Vera", Nurse Fidelia said giving the account accurately.
"what's his name?", Vera asked.
"Ronald Duke, the famous business tycoon. Owner of L&J construction company, Dallas , Texas", she replied.
"alright then let's begin".
The bulb outside the operation theatre door turned red indicating that an operation had just began.
Expentant faces were outside, a young girl with black emerald hair was pacing to and fro the reception.
"Merit, Merit what happened?", a handsome man with short golden hair yelled running towards her.
The lady turned back to look at him.
"Clifford", she said breaking into tears on his shoulders as he hugged her.
"Tell me what happened Merit", he said when she had calmed down a little.
"Ronald was shot at an event down town by some unknown men, we rushed him here immediately. I don't want to lose my brother, he's all I have in this world ever since we lost our parents", she said breaking into fresh tears.
Clifford took her to a seat close to them and patted her shoulders.
"Everything will be okay he won't die, I know Ronald to be a fighter he will be fine and I will make sure whoever did this pays with their life I promise you", he said with fury in his eyes.
Inside the theatre, the doctors are battling to save Ronald,"it seems the bullet penetrated into him deep, we need to bring it out as soon as possible", Vera said talking to the doctors.
The theatre light was shone on Ronald's body as the doctors had opened him up.
Detecting machines were connected to his body and an oxygen mask on his nose.
The heartbeat detecting machine began to beep loudly as the zig zag lines showing on it began to know straight and Ronald began to jerk on the bed.
"we are losing him", nurse Fidelia yelled.
After few hours, the bulb went off and Vera got out with her hair down as she had removed her surgical hat earlier.
she looked really hot despite the fact that she was stained with blood.
"A doctor's work is never done without spilling some blood", she always says.
Vera walked up to Merit and Clifford.
"I guess you both are relatives to the man that was brought in some hours ago", she asked.
"yes we are", Clifford said.
"Am his best friend and this is Merit Duke, Ronald's younger sister", he said pointing at Merit who sitting beside him still sobbing.
"well it's nice meeting you two, am glad to tell you that the patient's operation was done successfully. he is out of danger now", she said flashing them a smile that makes men drool over her.
Merit and Clifford exchanged glances and they hugged each other happily.
"oh my goodness, thank you doctor", Merit said disengaged the hug and hugging Vera too before disengaging.
"well it's my job, there's no need to thank me, your brother is a fighter. if you may excuse me I have work to do in my office and in case you would like to see him take the elevator and go to ward C his room is the first at your right", she said still smiling and walking away.
"oh my, Ronald's alive", Merit said happily palming her face.
"I told you didn't I ? Ronald won't leave us he can't meanwhile you should go and see him I would rush to the counter to pay the bills", Clifford said smiling at her.
She felt her heart flutter at his smile and watched him as he left her presence.
Merit immediately ran into the elevator that took her to her brother's ward.
She followed the directions given to her earlier by Vera and walked into Ronald's room.
she stood by the door looking at him and observing the machines connected to him before walking closer to his bed and sitting down on the chair beside his bed.
She began to rub his hand lovingly.
"hey big dude, you better wake up soon big head, you scared me a lot you know.

"hey", Clifford said poking his face into the door.
Merit smiled.
"come in you don't need to stand there", she said.
He walked in and sat beside her,"don't worry he will be fine". he said assuring her.
"I know", she said staring at Clifford.

Prince Cone, has always been hungry for more power and more and more. After his coronation, he attacked Salem. The attack was so unexpected, Salem never prepared for it. They were caught off guard. The king and Queen was killed, the prince was taken into slavery. The people of Salem that survived the war was enslaved, their land taken from them. Their women were made sex slaves. They lost everything, including their land. Evil befall the land of Salem in form of Prince Cone, and the prince of Salem in his slavery was filled with so much rage. The prince of Salem, Prince Lucien swore revenge. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Ten years later, thirty-years old Lucien and his people raided a coup and escaped slavery. They went into hiding and recuperated. They trained day and night under the leadership of the fearless and cold Lucien who was driven with everything in him to get back their land, and take Mombana land too. It took them five years before they ambushed and attacked Mombana. They killed Prince Cone and reclaimed everything. As they screamed out their victory, Lucien's eyes found and pinned the proud princess of Mombana. Princess Danika. The daughter of Prince Cone. As Lucien stared at her with the coldest eyes anyone can ever possess, he felt victory for the first time. He walked to the princess with the slave collar he'd won for ten years rattling in his hand as he walked. He reached close to her and with a swift movement, he collared her neck. Then, he tilted her chin up, staring into the bluest eyes and the most beautiful face ever created, he gave her a cold smile. "You are my acquisition. My slave. My sex slave. My property. I will pay you in spades, everything you and your father ever did to me and my people." He stated curtly. Pure hatred, coldness and victory was the only emotion on his face. .
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
