Ryan rushed into the hospital and moved to where the receptionist was.
“Excuse me,” he said and the young lady raised her face to him.
“Yes sir, how may I help you?”
“Um, I am here to see Mrs. Kent, I was told she was rushed in by her family”.
” Ok, hold on, let me check “. she said and went through the computer in search of the name. ” Yes, she was rushed here a while ago, you can go to ward eight, she is there “. she said.
” Ok, thank you” ” He walked away and came to the corridor searching for the room, suddenly, Mia caught sight of him and she was surprised because she was seated with Justin and her father waiting for the doctor’s report.
“Ryan?”. She called surprisedly as she stood up, everyone turned in his direction.
” Mia”. he rushed to her and hugged her tight into his arms, everyone was surprised. then he pulled away from her slowly and caressed her face seeing how worried she looked. “Are you ok?”. he asked.
” Yes”. She replied.”Why are you here? How do you know I was here?”.
“I was at the clubhouse earlier and the manager told me you have to leave because your mom was rushed to the hospital, so, tell how is she?”.
” She–“she got interrupted by a clearing of her father’s throat and they pulled away from each other, Ryan was looking awkwardly.
“Mia, who is he?”. Mr. Kent asked firmly.
“Um, Dad, this is Ryan, my boss’s brother”. she introduced.
” Good day, sir”. Ryan greeted nervously.
“Good day to you young man, are you one of the Williams sons?”. he asked.
” Yes sir”.
“OK, you are welcome”.
” Is a pleasure sir”.
Justin noticed how nervous he looked, and then the doctor came out and they rushed to him quickly.
“Doctor, how is my mother? Is she OK?”. Mia asked curiously.
” You all should calm down, she is fine, is just that her blood pressure dropped “. He explained.
” But, will my wife be ok?”. Mr. Kent asked.
“Yes, her blood pressure is normal now, she will be discharged tomorrow”. he reassured them and they sighed in relief.
” Can we see her now?”Justin asked.
“Sure, you may”. He said and they rushed inside quickly except Ryan who stayed back and sat on the chair waiting.

The next day, Mia and her family were seated at the dining eating.
” Mia, who is that young man to you?”. Mr. Kent asked and Mia stared confusedly at him.
“What young man? Justin?”. Mrs. Kent asked.
” No, he is one of the Williams sons”. he said and Mrs. Kent wide-eyed in surprise.
“Dad, I told you before that he is my boss’s brother, he is just a friend”. Mia said.
” Wait, hold on, is the same Williams we all know of?”. Mrs. Kent asked to be sure.
“Yes, he came to the hospital yesterday to see Mia after he was informed that you were rushed to the hospital”. Mr. Kent said.
” Mia, what are you doing with a dangerous man? Don’t you know who they are?”.
“Mom is not what you think, Ryan is not dangerous neither are his brothers, they are different from what people say about them “. she said.
” How do you mean?”. he asked.
“Exactly Dad, Ryan and his brothers are good people, you can only know that if you get close to them”.
” You are damn right about that because Maya is living with the most dangerous one among the brothers and it seems she is happy”. Mr. Kent said.
“I don’t feel good about it, Mia just be careful around him, I don’t want anything to happen to you, you know you are all I have”. She said.
” I will be fine Mom, nothing is going to happen to me”. she said and they smiled as they continued their meal.

RYAN’S BEDROOM
Ryan came out of the bathroom with bathrobes on, he stood at the wardrobe drying his hair with a towel, and then his cell phone rang, he saw the caller ID and let out a smile.
“Hey”. he said on the phone and Mia’s voice came through the other end.
” Hey Ryan”. she said.
“How are you doing?”.
” Am fine, just called to say thank you for the other day”.
“You don’t have to, so, how is your mother doing?”.
” She is fine now”.
“That’s good to know”. he said and there was a moment of silence between the two of them. ” Um, Mia, will you be available later for a hang-out at the Park?”. he asked waiting for a positive reply from her.
“Yes, I will”.
” Good, I will wait for you there by seven “.
“OK, see you then”.
“Sure”. He hung up. ” Yes!”. he said happily.
“What are you doing?” Lisa interrupted him from the doorstep and Ryan screamed in shock.
“What the f*ck! You scared me, can’t you knock?”. he quarrels.
“I did, but you were so busy with your girlfriend on the phone”. she said.
” What are you doing in my room?”.
“Nothing just came to check up on you”.
” Now that you did, can you leave, I need to get dressed”.
“Really? Are you going on a date?”.
” How is that your business, can you leave”.
“I am not leaving until you tell me who you are going on a date with.”.
“And I said is none of your business, can you leave my room, do you want me to get dressed in front of you?”.
” I will live with that”. she teased and Ryan stared hard at her.
“Lisa!”.

The park
exactly seven pm, Ryan drove to the park and waited for Mia’s arrival.
Meanwhile, Mia was already dressed up to leave when her mother stopped her.
“Where are you going at this time of the day?”. She asked.
” Mom, am having a hang-out with Ryan”. she replied.
“Ryan? Which Ryan?”.
” Mom, really?”.
“What, I just want to know the kind of irresponsible man that will be asking a young girl out at this time of the day”. she said.
” Let her be”.Mr. Kent interrupted them from behind.
“Am just worried about my daughter”.
” She will be fine, our daughter knows what is right for her, let her go, am sure the young man is waiting”. he said.
“OK fine, but just be careful”. she said
” I will”. She hugs them.”See you later”. she walks away.
“Don’t worry, she is in safe hands” He reassured her and they left for their room.
Ryan came out of his car and leaned at the door trying to connect to Mia.
“What’s taking her so long? Hope she is fine”. He sighs still trying her number.
” Woah, what an amazing car”. Someone said from behind.
Ryan turned to see a group of guys standing near his car and they were dressed as bad guys, they moved to him.
“What do you guys want?”. He asked firmly and they laughed in mockery.
” What do we want?”The head gang said and pushed closer to him.”Well big guy, we don’t want it in a hard way, let’s do it easily”. he said.
“You still haven’t stated the reason why you are here and what you want?”.
“Are you trying to be tough?”. 1st guy asked angrily and Ryan scoffed.
” You guys can excuse me “. He turned to enter his car, but they pushed him off.
” How dare you walk out on us”. The head of the gang said angrily and Ryan noticed they were trouble.
“Do you guys need money? I can give you some if you want”. he said.
” We don’t need your money, “2nd guy said.
“Ok” ” He turned to enter his car, but the head gang took him unaware as he punched him hard in the face, Ryan groaned in pain and they laughed at him.
” Come on, bring it”. The head gang said as he tried to punch him again, but Ryan was quick enough to hold the punch and hit him hard on the face, he fell on the floor groaning in pain as blood flowed out from his nose.
The rest of the guys were surprised to see what Ryan did to their boss, quickly, they retaliated and started fighting with him, But Ryan avoided each of their punches as he kept hitting and breaking each of their bones. He is a good fighter and his brothers have trained him well.
The head of the gang noticed his men were getting weak due to the hard beating Ryan was giving them, he scanned around for a weapon, and suddenly, his eyes caught sight of a big stick, he picked it up and hit Ryan’s head with it. Ryan groaned and fell on the floor lifeless. They noticed he was unconscious and they ran off when they heard the sound of a police vehicle from afar.
Meanwhile, Mia was caught in traffic on her way, she was worried that Ryan would be waiting for long, so she got down of the car and paid off the taxi driver because she was already close. She started walking fast to the park. After a long while, she arrived at the park and saw Ryan’s car parked.
“I hope he won’t be angry that I took long”. she said and walked closer, then her eyes caught sight of someone lying lifeless on the ground, she walked closer and gasped in shock as her bag fell off her hand. “RYAN!!”. she screamed and rushed to him sobbing and trying to wake him up.” Ryan, somebody help me! Ryan, please don’t do this, help!”. she screamed and some people came and helped her with Ryan to the car, one of the good Samaritans drove them to the hospital.
