Damien glanced at Bianca who was staring at him in curiosity. He looked at Eric and said, "Let's talk in my office. Go there, I will be right behind you."Eric left, leaving them alone. "You should go. It seems it's an important report he has for you," she said, forcing a smile. "I came to check up on Regina which I will be doing first."She nodded and moved away for him to go in. Immediately he did, she let out a deep breath to calm her nerves and gulped down nervously. She turned and averted her gaze to Damien who was speaking to Regina's doctor. Regina was sedated, which was a relief to them as she would have caused a ruckus seeing Damien in the room. Damien collected her record from the doctor and glanced through it. There were big improvements in her health but she had to stay longer in the hospital for further observation until she was fine."Just keep on with her medication. We will observe her for more days," he instructed the doctor who nodded and collected the record fro

Even though Damien wanted to talk to Bianca and clear everything going on with Charlotte, the night wasn't a preferred time for him. He also had a meeting with Charlotte. "I guess you will be busy," she spoke up first, breaking the silence. "I have a meeting this night but we can meet tomorrow," he answered. "Alright. We can talk tomorrow." She let out a deep breath and rubbed her arms. "We will see tomorrow then."He nodded and watched her leave his office. Immediately she closed the door behind her, he let out a deep breath and rubbed his neck. "I am this close to fixing my relationship but this had to come. Dang it," he muttered and picked up his phone. He tapped on the new message received and glanced through it. It was a reservation card sent by a hotel. He drew his brows, trying to remember when he made a reservation, but he had no memory of that. The hotel's name was also strange to him. He was about to send a message to Eric when Charlotte's message came in, answering h

Even though the top floor was filled with people, chattering among themselves, and the music played by the orchestra, with the cold breeze whispering in their ears, everything went quiet after Charlotte confessed to him. It all made sense. Her reluctance and nonchalant behavior toward the scandal would have given him a signal, but he ignored it and was more focused on trying to get her to reason with him. Seeing he wasn't responding but staring at her, Charlotte smiled broadened and she lowered her head, feeling too shy to look at him. "We don't have to worry about the scandal. We are both single people who wouldn't mind going into a relationship, right?""Hold up, Charlotte. When did this feeling start?" He questioned, after finding his voice. "I don't know when. Probably when you visited Grandfather, or before then, or because of the numerous times I kept watching your videos online and saw how great you have been, or when the scandal started and I thought we would truly make a

"Damn it!" Damien yelled and ran out, going after the reporters, but saw they had driven off. "Shit!" He cursed and ran his fingers through his hair. Charlotte walked out and noticed the men had left too. She let out a deep breath and faced him. "It is too late. Now you have no choice, you will have to accept me to make everything real.""What is wrong with you, Charlotte?" He questioned, surprisingly in a calm voice. "Destiny also wants us to be together and that's why different circumstances are created for more of these scandals to arise. Don't deny what's right in front of you," she answered, nonchalant about what had happened, and more focused on getting him to accept her. "Char-" she held up her hand, cutting him off. "I love you, Damien. Why can't you just accept me and stop making excuses?""This is not how it is done. This is going to be an unrequited love because I don't have feelings for you," he answered with frustration lacing his tone. She rolled her eyes and let ou

Damien's eyes went round as he read the message. He re-read it again and confirmed he read it right. "What is she thinking?" He muttered, gritting his teeth. He tried to call her but saw an ongoing call and he remembered he was still on a call with Eleanor. He took the phone to his ear and cleared his throat. "Hello.""It's about time you answered me again," she said and he could tell she was annoyed with the way she sounded. "I got some messages. Sorry for keeping you waiting.""That is not important now. What I want to know is your relationship with Charlotte. From the videos that got released tonight, you two seem pretty close," she said, going back to the reason for her call. "It's not what you think. Charlotte and I are not close. It was all a setup," he answered, hoping she believed him as it was her sister they were talking about. He went on, "I was invited to the hotel by Charlotte and when I got there, I was taken to where she was which was filled with people. We got ta

Damien pulled over in front of the Whyte's mansion and the Butler rushed to his car to open the door. "Where is Charlotte?" Damien asked."She's up in her room," the Butler answered politely with his head bowed. Damien drew his brows and faced him. "Are you sure about it? I tried calling her earlier but she switched off her phone, and so did the chairman.""The chairman is asleep. He took his medicines and his caretaker turned off his phone to avoid waking him up. As for Miss Charlotte, she hasn't come out of her room ever since she came home. She locked herself in there. Ma'am Eleanor called and I went to the room a couple of times to call her out but she ignored me," he answered, looking confused. Just then, the firefighter's van pulled over. The Butler's eyes' went wide as he watched the commotion, even though he had no idea why they were invited. "We need to check up on Charlotte. She might have done something bad to herself," Damien answered his unasked question, which came a

Damien quickly collected the kitchen knife from her while Eleanor rushed in, bewildered. Charlotte was bleeding heavily while crying in pain."What is wrong with you? You are causing yourself more pain here," Eleanor scolded and hugged her sister tight. "Get me the first aid!" Damien ordered, while he took her hand and pressed down on her wrist. In no time, the first aid was brought in and he quickly stopped the bleeding and treated the cut. The firefighters came forward and helped her out. "She will be fine," Damien assured Eleanor who looked distraught. "Why would she do that to herself?" She cried. "Since when did she learn how to be this obsessed?""It's my fault. I think I rejected her harshly. I should have calmed down and explained all these to her," he muttered, feeling guilt overwhelming him again. Eleanor shook her head and sniffed. "It's not your fault. It is no one's fault. She has caused you trouble and I apologize for it.""You don't have to apologize. We can't cont

The security officers hurried to them and tried to pull the woman's grip from Damien but her grip tightened."You killed my son!" She cried out. "How dare you! What did we do to deserve this? Why did you kill him?!"The security officers tried to stop her, but she didn't heed their efforts, instead, she began to hit Damien while walking out, "Bring my son back to me you murderer! Bring him back!"Damien stood dumbstruck. He had so many questions running through his mind. 'Did I make a mistake? Did I give him the wrong medication? What happened?' these questions ran through his mind and were left unanswered. Over his years as a doctor, he had never made the mistake of administering the wrong medication to a patient, no matter how bothered or distracted he was, and because of this, sometimes, he wondered let them work on their own. The officers were able to get the woman away and cleared the road for him to work past. As he walked to the elevator, he had some patients side comments wi

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

"Mrs Legg!" He called out her name and hurriedly held her back. "Don't do this. Your son, husband, and daughter wouldn't want to see you like this.""Then why did they leave me all alone here?" She questioned and cried out. "I am all alone!""Ma'am, you are not all alone. I am here for you," he assured but she shook her head. "You probably hate me now. I took you to court and your reputation got ruined too. You are just pretending, right? You are here because you pity me, aren't you?" She questioned with a frown plastered on her face. "I don't need your pity!"Damien sat down beside her and took her hand in his. "I am not pretending. I also know what it means to lose everyone you love in the blink of an eye," he answered. He let out a deep breath and continued. "When I was young, my family and I went to the pack to celebrate my sixth-year birthday. We were all happy and we okayed a lit," he smiled remembering his childhood with his family. He went on, "That was the best day of my li

Damien was taken aback and strangely, there was no one in. The door had opened on its own. He opened the door further and his eyes stretched open seeing the empty living room. "What the heck is going on?" He asked out loud. His phone rang almost immediately, and when he saw the name on the screen he quickly answered the call. "Mike, where the heck are you?" He asked. He let out a deep breath and answered, "I apologize for this sudden act of mine but it's something that needs to be done.""What are you talking about?""Damien, I am in a lot of trouble right now so I left with my family. Even at this point, they would trace my number and that's why I just need to tell you what I know about Ethan's death.""You found out who killed him? How are you in trouble? Is the killer after you? Tell me, what is going on?""It's a very long detail but me running away isn't because of your case," he answered and swallowed hard. "I fell into the wrong's hand and right now, my life is at stack. I

Damien fixed his gaze on Mrs Legg as they drove to the hospital. She was in a lot of pain due to the fall and that got him wondering if she had planned on killing herself. Did she purposely jump down the cliff because she wanted to die or was it a mistake? If it was suicide, he knew he had to do everything he could to stop her from attempting it again in the future. He took her hand in his and gave it a light squeeze. "I promise you, I will find your son's killer. I won't back down on my word. I will bring justice for your son's death."His phone vibrated in his pocket and he quickly brought it out. It was a message from Mike: 'Damien, where are you? We need to talk.' it reads.He knitted his brows, wondering if he had found a clue to Ethan's death. He quickly typed back, letting him know he had something important to do but would meet up with him in an hour. He averted his gaze back to Mrs Legg and continued staring at her. The van pulled over in front of the hospital and she was

Damien slowly turned back and found a wolf growling at him. He moved back, pointing his flashlight at it. The wolf was ready to attack but due to the flashlight directed to his eyes, he wasn't able to attack immediately. Damien used that opportunity to search around for a stick, but it was far away, close to where the wolf was. "Dang it!" He muttered. He thought of a way to get it, but that would put his life in danger. He looked behind him and saw that falling would be more dangerous. 'what should I do now?' he wondered, trying to think but every way he could come up with, would end him up in danger. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a helicopter and the wolf ran back into the woods. He looked up and sighed. "Thank goodness," he muttered and looked down the cliff. "Mrs Legg, I just hope you are not down there," he muttered. "Sir," he heard a voice call out to him, forcing him to turn back. Eric came out of the woods and sighed in relief seeing him. "Sir, thank goodness you are

Mrs Legg kept walking deep into the bush until she came to the end of a cliff. She stepped on a stone and fell back, hitting her head hard. She cried out, nursing the pain. A cold breeze blew on her exposed skin. She shivered and rubbed her arms. "Where am I?" She asked, looking around. She slowly stood up and shivered. "How did I get here?" She asked. She looked back and noticed she was surrounded by a thick bush. Tears flow down her eyes as realization draws on her. She was lost and she had no idea how she got there."Please don't," she cried and bent down, crying her eyes out. She stayed in that position for a few minutes before she heard a whisper from a distance. She sharply looked up and her body shook in fright. "Who's there?" She asked, with her gaze focused on the direction the whistle came from. It was from the bushes and her instinct immediately told her it might be a wild animal. She stood up and took a step back. "Please, don't harm me," she cried, not minding if i
135
Damien hurried to her and called her name but got no response. He checked her pulse and breathed in relief when he felt it. He resuscitated her and when she finally gained consciousness, he let out a deep breath of relief. "Thank goodness," he muttered. "Ethan," she called out to him immediately after she opened her eyes. "My son, where have you been?" She asked as tears flowed down her eyes. "They said you were dead. They said you left your mother alone."She lifted her hand to his cheek and slowly caressed him. "Why did you disappear? Why did you leave me all alone?""Mrs Legg," Damien called out with his eyes stretched wide, realizing what was going on with her. She smiled brightly at him. "Please don't leave me again. Don't scare me like that. Don't scare your mother."Damien stared at her not able to say a word. She was happy even though he knew it would only be for just a little while. He swallowed hard and took her hand in his. "I won't," he answered. He checked his pocket

Damien kept stealing gazes at Mrs Legg as the lawyers laid their arguments before the judge. She looked so pale and weak and he knew in a matter of time, she would collapse. The evidence they had was brought forward, including the evidence that he wasn't at the hospital during the patient's death. Immediately it was revealed to everyone in the court, and Mrs Leg began to wail. Damien's heart broke into a million pieces. He couldn't shove the thought of it happening at his hospital, which made him guilty too. After an hour, the judge declared him not guilty of the charges, bringing the case to an end. Bianca watched across the courtroom with a smile plastered on her face. She left her seat and walked to Damien who looked lost. "Hey," she said, calling his attention. He looked at her and forced a small smile. "You don't look happy.""I do. I am just awed," he answered. "I know you, Mr Williams. You are the least happy right now even though you won the case and your name has been c

Damien walked into the private room Mrs Legg was in and stood by the door with his gaze fixed on her. They both stared at each other quietly, having different thoughts running through their minds. "Come in," she said with spite lacing her voice. Damien nodded and went closer to her. "How are you feeling now?"She let out a deep breath and looked away, ignoring his questions. "Why did you bring me here? What is your motive? Are you trying to show everyone you are a good guy?" She asked, clenching her jaw. Damien sighed, not surprised by her questions. Even though Eric had told him about her urgency to meet him, he knew she was still going to scold him and let out her hate on him. But, he was ready to accept it all. "That wasn't the intention, ma'am," he answered politely. She scoffed and looked at him. "Do you think I am a fool? I know what you are playing at. This is all a game to you to escape the punishment you will receive for what you did."He said nothing and only lowered h
