Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 105
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 went into the mortuary first before Eric followed next. The mortuary attendant walked up to them and bowed slightly. "I found something that might be important," he told them. They both nodded and walked closer to the dead man on the bed. "Whatever happened to him or the medication he took, it was administered by a nonprofessional. It was administered in high doses. Even if it was a mistake from the Doctor, the high dose wouldn't have happened," he explained to the men who had their attention to the body lying still. "So, this was done by someone who intended to kill him?" Eric asked and he nodded in reply. "Yes. It was intentional."Damien fisted his hand and hardened his face. They had purposely killed the young man and that got him thinking how ruthless it was. Why did they kill him? Why were they after him?"The cops need to be informed and the person involved in this crime should be punished," Eric suggested, looking at Damien for a response but he said nothing. The

"Let me see what is going on," the security head officer said and left the office."This is odd. Why would the light go off when we are watching the footage?" Eric asked, having an odd feeling about it. Mira scoffed, bringing their attention to her. "So this is it. This is the plan. You want to make everything real and finally blame someone for your crime. So you think I will buy all this drama?""Ma'am you are-" She held up her hand, stopping Eric from speaking any further. "Enough! I have had enough," she averted her gaze to Damien. "This isn't over. I will make sure I see to your downfall. You will hear from my lawyer soon," she added and walked out of the office. Immediately she did, the lights came on. "This is bad," Eric muttered. "This can't be a coincidence. Someone is surely behind this. I think the person plans to bring me down," Damien pointed out to which Eric nodded. "This explains everything," he muttered."And whoever this person is, he did it carefully and left n

Allen went back to the library and down to the basement. The door was still open a bit. He let out a deep breath and moved back, going closer to the door to avoid getting captured by the surveillance camera. He brought out two little explosives, which had been with him before he left for the meeting. He had slipped it into his pocket to use it when necessary. He activated it and threw it to the center of the basement. After waiting for a few seconds, it exploded and the building shook. The basement became smokey, blinding the cameras. An easy way to successfully rescue Josh and leave, he thought. He ran into the opened door and just as he had suspected, Josh was chained to a chair in the middle of the room with his mouth covered. "This damn people," he muttered and ran to him. He pulled the tape out of his mouth and Josh breathed out deeply. "You shouldn't be here. This is all a trap. Get out!" He said with his voice laced with panic. "I promise to always protect you and i

The second guard was standing before them, staring at them in horror. He was going to call his partner as he was taking too long and their bosses would soon be out, but he found him unconscious with the woman and a familiar man beside him. "Hey! Who are you two?! What have you done!" He said out, bringing their attention to him. He quickly brought out his gun but before he could point it at them, Mary threw the rod to him and it hit the gun away. Before he could recover, she ran and punched him hard on his face and the next to his chest, rendering him weak. He fell on his knees groaning in pain. "You should never have trusted me," she muttered and wrapped her arm tightly around his neck, to make him unconscious, while Allen went on to undress the other officer. The second guard finally went to sleep and she let him go. "Now, we have our perfect disguises," she said with a smile and made to undress him but Allen held back her hand. She looked at him with her brows drawn to

They both left the car and ran towards the state library. Just when they got closer, Mary suddenly held his hand and dragged him to the alley. "What are you doing? This is our chance to go in," he pointed out, not pleased with her sudden action. "I know we are two and I promised to fight with you, but are you a fool?" She questioned, which made him arch his brows. She never misses a moment to insult him. She went on, "If we go into that library as Allen Scott and Mary Jane, the project Erubus would be informed before we get to them and they will have all the time to escape and plan an attack. We don't even know where exactly they are in the building." Allen signed deeply, knowing she was right. He was going to make a bad decision but lucky enough, she was there to stop him. "So what's your plan? Are we going to disguise to go in?" She nodded. "We have to disguise. That way, we can enter as normal people and figure out what to do and where to go." "Won't it take a lot of time

"Mary?" He called, in shock. "C'mon. We don't have all day. My system is about to shut down!" She yelled out, getting ready to run. Allen nodded and hurried down the stairs. He put his glasses into his pocket and together, they ran into the woods, going as fast as they could. "We need to find a place to hide before the explosion," she pointed out, breathing heavily. "Come with me," he answered and took the next turn. He noticed a pit a few distance away from them and pointed it direction. "There!" They both jumped into the pit and a loud explosion followed next, shaking the ground and bringing everything on its path down. After the explosion, silence followed next with their heavy breathing loud to their ears. Mary Jane sat down and placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. "That was close," she muttered. Allen nodded and sat beside her, trying to steady his breath. She looked at him and asked, "How did you know there was a pit here?" "I took noti

Allen quickly made it for the door but found it locked. He tried opening it but to no avail. "Are there any escape doors close by?" He questioned, as he felt panic slowly seeping into him. "The left, the right, the the" Ultimate began to glitch until it went off. "Ultimate?" Allen called but the system was gone. "What the heck is going on?" He questioned and looked around for another door. He found an escape door but when he tried opening it, it was locked. "Dang it!" He cursed inwardly and went on to search for another door in desperation. If it was a bomb, the time would be ticking and he knew he had a few minutes to escape or that would be the end. He still had a lot to do. He promised Stephanie that he would be back. He still had to bring down the project Erubus and ruin his father. "I can't die today," he muttered, thinking about everything he had to do. He found a few more doors but they were all locked and the few that weren't, they led to a different room. It wa

"I knew something was off," Allen mumbled, bending low to avoid getting hit by the flying bullets. The driver immediately took a turn, while the security officers in the other car rushed out and started firing at the shooters. "Josh is in danger!" Allen muttered, realizing they had used Josh's phone and knew about the address for their meeting. "Stop the car!" He ordered, taking the driver aback. The driver didn't stop the car at first, thinking he had heard wrongly until Allen repeated himself this time, with fury. He quickly pulled over and Allen stepped out holding a gun. His security officers were so busy with the attackers, that they didn't notice when he stepped out of the car and ran into the woods, trying to use the backdoor. He took cover behind a tree and quickly wore his glasses, activating Ultimate. "You have two options for this mission: You either leave right now and call the cops to do their job or you will get an ultimate weapon, but you must kill all the enem

The case had been reopened, and the truth was finally coming to light. Bruno, with the evidence Eleanor had gathered, had managed to piece together a picture that no one else could see. It wasn’t just about Andrew’s death anymore. It was about the lies, the manipulation, and the sinister figure who had remained hidden in the shadows for far too long—Andrew’s father. With the new evidence at hand, Bruno had relentlessly pursued the man responsible. It hadn’t been easy, and it certainly hadn’t been quick, but in the end, it was worth it.George, the terrified man who had finally given up the truth, had provided the key to everything. The recording Eleanor had made of George speaking about Andrew’s father’s involvement in Andrew’s murder had been the smoking gun. It was the piece of the puzzle that tied everything together. Bruno had used that, along with the records from Texas, to take action.Andrew’s father, once a figure of untouchable power, had been brought down. His involvement in

It had been over a month since Eric’s murderer had been brought to justice. The case had concluded, and the aftermath had settled into a sort of peace that everyone was trying to hold onto. Life had moved on for most of them. Bianca and Damian were thriving, preparing for the arrival of their first child. Charlotte had moved out of state with Jason after he proposed, and the city seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. The storm that had plagued them for so long had passed. Or so it seemed.But for Eleanor, there had been no relief. No peace. Her mind had remained tangled with unfinished business, things she hadn’t shared with anyone. Especially Damian. She had left him in the dark, not out of malice but because she had to. He could never know the truth about her, about her involvement in the darker parts of the mystery they had all just escaped from. She had to keep her distance. He couldn’t know what she had done, not if her plans were going to succeed. If Damian, or anyone,

Detective Bruno leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning through the files spread out before him. The case of Andrew's death had been an enigma from the start. At first glance, it seemed straightforward—a suicide. But after days of investigation, there was something that didn’t add up. The more Bruno looked into it, the more questions arose.His fingers brushed over the autopsy report again, and it was clear—Andrew hadn't died by his hand. The cause of death was poisoning. He had been slowly killed before being hung in what was made to look like a suicide. It was a well-planned murder, and as Bruno flipped through the documents, he couldn't shake the feeling that someone had gone to great lengths to cover their tracks.But who?Bruno had been reinstated back to the case after the previous detective working on it had missed several crucial pieces of evidence. The detective, for reasons unknown, had been convinced that Andrew was responsible for his death. He had been so sure of it t
