Chapter 3

At the medical school's Dean administrative office :

Phone rings and the Dean picks

" You did an excellent job, Mr Shade is glad and as promised, the money has been deposited in your account"

"Oh, thanks. It's a pleasure to do business with your boss. But I'm curious, what did that kid do to attract his wrath? The dean asked....

"You shouldn't try to get involved in matters that don't concern you. The deal is closed and advice you not to get on Mr Shade's bad side. I hope you remember who he is? " The man replied in a cold yet warning tone and dropped the call.

The Dean exhaled after the call. What a waste, that girl had the best result during the exam but it's so unfortunate her talent doesn't pay my bills, he thought smirking.

Though he wondered Why Mr Shade, the most dangerous man in A-city will focus on something so minute as an exam. No body had ever seen him , talk less of knowing what he looked like. But he was for sure someone not to mess up with..

He couldn't stop smiling thinking about the projects he'll accomplish with the fortune he just got from Mr Shade

While Dove lay on her bed trying to have some rest, her phone suddenly rang. It was her mom.

She reluctantly picked the call.

"Dove my child , how are you doing today? " her mom asked

"I'm fine mom, and you? "

"I am good, though I sense some reluctance in your tone, is anything worrying you?

"Mom, actually the results were published today. I'm sorry I didn't make it. "

Her mom was stunned and went silent for about a minute. Then she said "my child, if it is the will of God then take it as it comes. Next year there will be another opportunity. Just remain focused my child".

Her mom had raised them alone, her elder brother and her. Though her parents were divorced and lived in the same town she had barely ever heard from her genitor. Unlike her brother who was a had known him a lil, her relationship with him was inexistent.

Her mom made sure they grew up lacking nothing and everything ran smoothly till one tragic day a fire completely destroyed her business.

They were left penniless and lived in misery for some time. Luckily her good grades made it possible for her to get scholarships.

It took sometime for her moms business to kick off again. Though it didn't give them their former living standard, at least they could make a living. Other disturbing factors also came in place, like her mom's health which kept on detoriating.

Those hardships had motivated her to work hard in order to soon support her mom financially.

"Don't bother mom, things will get better one day" she said. Then her mom dropped after wishing her welfare.

She felt a lil sad about the whole situation.

"Anyway it's needless crying over spilled milk. Tonight I'll relieve all my stress". she said to herself.
