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

"Regina, we are not leaving. You need to complete your treatment or it will grow worse," Bianca said, trying to convince her sister who was packing her clothes in her bag. She was determined to leave and wasn't ready to listen. "Sis, what world do you live in? Didn't you see the news? That guy is a murderer. He killed someone, and you want me to continue receiving treatments here after that?" She questioned and went back to packing her clothes. "C'mon, Regina. Damien wouldn't kill anyone. He would do anything he could to rescue a patient and make sure they got back to their feet. I have seen how hardworking and dedicated he is to his job," she defended, not pleased with how easy it was for Regina to accuse him too. Regina rolled her eyes and groaned. "I don't care what you think or feel about him, all I know is, I am leaving this hospital to get better treatment in another. There are other hospitals out there with doctors who would treat me perfectly. I don't need that killer, Dami
Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 114
Damien read the message again, and it was just as he had seen it. Charlotte health was deteriorating. He drew his brows wondering if she got infected. 'Was it my mistake? Am I really making mistakes and putting people's life in danger?' he wondered."Is there something wrong?" Bianca asked, seeing how worried he looked."I need to leave and I will be back soon so we can have the discussion," she answered and hurried back to his office to get his car key. Bianca let out a deep breath as she watched him leave. She felt bad for him and her heart ached knowing she could not do anything to help him. "This world is evil. They never appreciate help but do everything to bring down people's success," she muttered and turned to leave but stopped when she realized she haven't told him something important. "Darn it!" She cursed and ran after him. Damien got his car key and went out to get his car. Immediately he stepped out of the building, he was immediately surrounded by reporters who bega

Bianca stared at him with widened eyes as his words registered in her head. 'What if I told you I did?' his question repeated in her head. What if he did? She wondered. He stared at her with an emotion she had never seen when he asked the question.Damien stared at her intently, waiting for her reply which he thought she would believe he did, although a deep part of him wanted her not to believe it. He had purposely said it so she would have a second thought and leave. She was the last person he wanted to get involved in his troubles. Bianca suddenly smiled and shook her head. "What are you trying to do? Make me believe you are capable of doing something as reckless as this. I know you too well Damien. You love your job and wouldn't want to risk the life of the person you tried to save," she answered. Damien let out a deep breath and leaned back against the desk behind him. "You shouldn't get involved in this. I am glad you believe me, but many people are against me right now and

Damien stared at her for a few seconds, wondering if he should go on telling more about it. Even though she looked concerned deep down, he could tell she was angry or rather, jealous.She was jealous and that was a big step for him in winning her back. That meant she still had feelings for him but talking about feelings or how anyone felt was wrong to him as he still had very important things to take care of."Like I said, I will come back and let you in on the whole story. For now, I need to leave because this is very important," he said again and she quickly nodded. "Please go on. Sorry for stopping you back. I just got carried away and worried, because I thought it might be a trap," she said and he shook his head in disagreement. "It is not a trap. We are talking about the Whyte family. I will be back in no time," he said and left, with her gaze fixed on him until he went away from her sight. She let out a deep breath and faced Eric. "I need to do something to help. How far have

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

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
