Damien pulled over in front of the police station. He came out of the car along with Bianca and she walked close to him as they both entered the station. "Dr. Damien," one of the cops called immediately they entered and walked closer to him. "Please, come in."He went after him and was led to his office. "It's an honor to see you here. Please have a seat," he said and Damien nodded. Bianca sat down beside him. "I am Detective Bruno and I am in charge of Ethan Legg's case." He introduced. Damien remembered Mrs Legg once told him about the cops being involved, so he wasn't surprised when the officer said he was in charge of the case. "I know you just won your case but I need your help on this," he said and averted his gaze to Bianca. He stared at her for a while, not expecting him to come with her. "She is in on this case," Damien said, noticing how unpleased he was. "I can wait outside so you two can talk," Bianca offered but Damien held her hand. "Don't worry, I have an importan

"Then, you shouldn't trust anyone. For now, everyone is your enemy. You can only know the truth that way and when it's out, you will know who your most trustworthy friend is," the detective pointed out and drew closer. "So, are you ready to work on this case with me?"Damien drew back and thought about what he said. He was right. He easily trusts people, but deep in his heart, he knows Bianca and the Whyte's could be trusted. "I want to work with you on this case because I promised Mrs Legg to work on this case with her," he said and let out a deep breath. "Let's work together. Let's bring out the culprit."Bruno smiled and nodded, "Great. I see you are ready to not let your heart control you. We should work together and bring the culprit out."Damien nodded and stood up. "Then, I guess I am done here. I've got a patient to attend to.""Alright, doctor. Let's meet again soon."Damien began to head for the door but got stopped when Bruno asked, "Dr Damien, about the thing you got goin

Bianca screamed out in horror and made to run back but she halted when she saw the familiar face staring back at her. "Regina?" She called."You don't have to be so dramatic, sis," she replied and went back to the kitchen. "I am so hungry.""Regina, what are you doing here?" Bianca asked, surprised to see her. "Why ask that question, sis? This is my parent's house too," Regina answered with annoyance lacing her voice. "Besides, I was just on a vacation not that I left this house yet.""I know. I mean," she let out a deep breath and asked, "I thought you were going to stay away for a long time. Why are you back so early? What happened?""I decided to come back early. The vacation got ruined so it was boring. Are you satisfied with my answers now?"Bianca stared at her for a couple of minutes, not convinced by her reply. She was sure she was hiding something. 'Regina, what is going on?' she wondered. The sudden vacation and then reappearing again gave Bianca the idea that she must ha

Bianca bent her head but it was too late. Regina had seen her and was approaching the car. She got closer and knocked on the window. Having no other choice since she was caught, Bianca let out a deep breath and opened the door. "What is it, Regina?""Why are you following me?" She asked with annoyance resonating in her voice. "Following you? Are you sure about that?" She asked, acting confused. "I came here for a business. You must be mistaken."Regina rolled her eyes and clenched her jaws. "Stop messing with me, Bianca. I know you were following me. There is no business for you to do here."Bianca let out a deep breath and hung up her call with Damien. "Yes, I was following you because you gave me no choice," she admitted and Regina's frown deepened. "Why are you following me? Can't I go about with my business?""Regina, you are my sister and when I see my sister doing some things that would destroy are, or try to hide something from me, I have to make sure to find out what it is,

"Regina? I thought you were strongly against suspecting her?" Bruno asked and sat back. "I do believe suspecting her without evidence is wrong, but her actions make me believe otherwise," Damien answered.Regina was the only one behaving suspiciously, making it hard to believe she wasn't the one who had a hand in Ethan's death. Damien let out a deep breath and rubbed his neck. "She is the only one I can think of. She hated me and vowed to do everything she could to bring me down. That night, she was at the hospital too, although, she was sick and weak and I remembered we had sedated her.""Miss Calloway is a smart one. We can't underestimate her," Bruno said and walked to the board in his office. He turned it around and Damien's eyes stretched wide seeing the pictures he had pasted on it. The pictures of the Calloway, Whyte's, his staff, and him. "Those are a lot of suspects you've got there," he said with amusement lacing his voice. "Most of them are, most are not but are someho

"Boss, the footage can't be retrieved," Eric revealed. "What are you talking about?" Damien asked, not sure he heard right. "The footage can't be retrieved," Eric repeated and went on. "The engineer said there's nothing he can do. The person who deleted it was an expert.""Dang it!" Damien cursed and rubbed his forehead. "This is bad." He had his hope fixed on recovering the footage. That was the one thing to get the killer's identity, but it was gone, bringing their investigation back to square one. "He returned the flash drive to me. I think we should take it to a different engineer, boss. There might be someone who would help out," he suggested. Damien let out a deep breath and answered, "Find a good engineer. There must be something he can do." He hung off and faced Bruno who was staring quietly, waiting for him to tell him what was going on."The footage can't be retrieved. According to my assistant, it was deleted by an expect," he informed him and his face contorted into a

Regina stared at him with her eyes stretched wide and her mouth slightly opened. She had thought the case wouldn't be looked into because Damien won his case and Mrs Legg would be too poor to open up the murder case gain. "Ma'am, you have to come with us to the station. We have questions to ask you concerning the death of Ethan Legg," The officer repeated, jerking her out of her thoughts. Regina swallowed hard and batted her lashes. She tried to compose herself and send them off while pretending to be the most innocent person among them, but she could keep straight. She was nervous and shaking in fear. "Why⦠why do you⦠want to⦠want to see me?" She asked and swallowed the lump in her throat. "We are only taking you for questioning. You don't have to be worried as it is just a few questions, just as we have done to the other patients," he said, trying to convince her to go with them. Regina shook her head and stepped back. "But, I haven't done anything wrong," she said, try

"Regina, are you listening to me?" Regina heard Bianca say to her but her voice was distant and everything was dark around her. "Regina? Regina, what's wrong with you?" She heard again and the voice was getting closer. "Regina!"She jerked out of her daydream and realized she wasn't holding a vase nor did she hit Bianca with anything. It was all in her head."Oh my goodness! What just happened? Did I just try to kill my sister?" She wondered and covered her mouth with her hands. Bianca drew her brows together, wondering what was happening to her sister who was frightened. While they were talking earlier, she said something to her but she seemed lost and still like a statue. She called her name severally before she jerked out of her unconscious state. "What just happened to you? What were you thinking about that got you so lost?" She asked, which she knew the answer but she wanted Regina to talk about it. She was worried about the officers, which got Bianca more worried about her.

"Let's get this started," Bruno said, bringing her attention to him. "Please, have a seat.""Wasn't that Damien?" She asked, not sure of who she saw. She was sure she had seen someone like him walk in but the door was shut so quickly that she wasn't able to see the person properly. "You mean, Dr Damien?" He asked and nodded. "He is also here for some questioning. And that would be done after yours."Regina narrowed her eyebrows with a frown plastered on her face. "Why does he have to be here now? I hate to see that man," she muttered and went to sit down. "Let's get this over with. I've got somewhere I need to be at.""Alright," he said and scrolled down the questions he had prepared for her. He took a glance at her while scrolling and noticed how impatient she was, and not scared as he thought she would be. He went on to ask, "On the 18 of July, at 10 pm, where were you and what were you doing?""Didn't you make your investigations properly? I was sick and I was admitted to William

Damien gave her hand a light squeeze and averted his gaze back to the screen. "I am worried and my heart keeps breaking every time the truth comes out." She swallowed hard and looked at him. "What if Regina turns out to be the killer? What would I do then? I won't be able to forgive myself. I won't be able to survive it.""Bianca, let's not conclude yet. Let's allow the truth to prevail. If Regina turns out to be the killer, I know it would hurt but she would get the right punishment and that would make her realize the wrong path she followed," he faced her again. "You did your best as her sister. You shouldn't blame yourself for any reason. She chose this path alone."She stared at him for a couple of seconds before she averted her gaze back to the large screen and listened to their conversation. "Can I go now? I have proven I am not the killer," Regina said, pissed off about it. "Miss Regina, you avoided so many questions I asked. You only made me more interested in you concernin
