Damien went with the old man to his room and when they got there, he shut the door and turned to face him."Dr Damien, we haven't seen each other for a while," Mr Whyte said and sat down on the single couch. "Yes sir. I have been occupied with work, but I planned on visiting," he answered politely but the old man waved his hand, dismissing his excuse. "You don't have to explain. I didn't say it so you would feel bad or start telling me what has been happening in your life," he said and eased back on the chair. "Have a seat and let's talk properly."Damien nodded and sat down on the couch beside him. "I see you are going through a lot of trouble and my granddaughter in there also caused you trouble. Even now, she is a troublemaker by making you come here to treat her when you have a lot of work to do," he said and clicked his tongue. "I spoilt these girls.""I am only doing my job sir. I don't see this as a burden."The old man nodded, impressed that the young man was still diligent

Damien pulled over in front of the hospital and his car was immediately surrounded by the reporters who waited for him. The security officers, who were tripled, hurried forward and cleared the way, allowing Damien to pass. He came out of the car and hurried in."Doctor, thank goodness you are here. A patient who fell off a cliff was brought in," A doctor reported, walking beside him. "Her condition is critical right now. She went into cardiac arrest while in the ambulance and five minutes later when she was brought in.""Has a scan been done? Does she have broken bones?" He asked, entering the ER."Yes sir. The orthopedist has been informed and he will be here now. She has internal bleeding and her organs were affected." He stopped and let out a deep breath. "I don't think she will survive this."Dr Damien faced him with a frown and scolded, "Aren't you a doctor? Should you be saying something like this when she is still alive? As a doctor, you will try all you can to rescue her. You

Damien and Eric hurried into the office and met the doctor in charge of Ethan's autopsy. "Please come with me." She led them to her team. "What did you find, Dr Fiona?" Damien asked with anxiousness while scanning around to examine what they were doing. "Well sir, we finally detected the wrong medication administered to him. Whoever did this, did it to kill him," she said and picked up the result and handed it to him. Damien glanced through it and when he saw what was administered to him, his eyes went wide. "Potassium Chloride," he muttered. "Yes. His heart stopped.""This is a big proof for you, sir. We had no potassium chloride in this hospital. Someone did this," Eric said, relieved that they finally found something important.Damien fisted his hand, "How did this happen in this hospital? We weren't careful enough. A murderer came in and did this without our knowledge." He grounded his teeth. "I won't let this off until this person is caught."He faced Eric who shivered at the

Bianca let out a deep breath and crossed her arms beneath her bosoms. "There is no need to know. You will find out what this lead is after the person behind the patient's death is exposed and Damien's reputation is saved. For you, you can only wait patiently for that big news," she answered and walked out of the room."Damn it! This can't be. They can't find anything. I made sure to clean up every trace that would lead to me," she muttered and took her fingers in between her teeth, chewing on them. She thought of what she left behind but couldn't come up with anything. That night after she injected the young patient, she quickly left the ward and pulled off the nurse uniform. She took it back to the nurse's changing room and neatly placed it where she had seen it. She threw the infection into the trash bin, and she did that so Damien would be blamed. He was the last person to put a pack of medicine into the bin. For the CCTV footage, she had a friend who was a hacker, delete the f

Mike stared at him for a few minutes before he smiled meticulously. "I like the sound of that," he said and drew closer. "What is this job you have for me?" The restaurant staff came in along with two other waiters, carrying their orders in a tray. The two men stopped taking as they set the food on the table. Immediately they were done, they left the room, giving them privacy. "Now tell me, what is this job I have to do?" "Someone was murdered in my hospital. Someone who doesn't deserve this painful death and the murderer wiped out every trace leading to them. The plan is to make me take the blame," Damien explained and Mike nodded, understanding his situation. "Oh, you are talking about the patient murdered in your hospital. It is popular news. That's a pretty bad one but I love cases like this," he said. "I want you to find out who did it and I want it secretly done. As long as the person could do a clean job like this, we are not dealing with a stupid one." Mike nodded.

Bianca walked into the hospital and just as luck would have it, she sighted Eric first talking to a doctor. "Just who I want to meet," she muttered and walked to him. The reporters were still not giving up and were gathered outside. Although, Damien had been able to escape being interviewed. She stood a few distance away from Eric and when he glanced at her, she waved to inform him she was there to see him. Eric drew his brows, wondering why she was in the hospital, but he ignored her and averted his attention back to the doctor to who he was talking. After what seemed like forever, the doctor finally left and she hurried to him. "Good day, Mr. Eric.""It's you again. What do you want?""I need a favor from you. A very important… favor," she said stressing the 'important' so he would know how serious she was. He stared at her for a few seconds before he let out a deep breath and said, "Come with me."She nodded and followed him, trying her best not to do anything to provoke him.

Bianca walked into a patient's room who was getting fed by his wife. They both had their attention on her when she opened the door. She walked in and smiled warmly at them. "I see you are busy. I apologize for coming in now," she said."Who are you?" The woman asked, with no memory of seeing her before. "I am Bianca Calloway, a friend of Dr Damien," she introduced and went on. "I know this is too much to ask, but I need your help."The couple both glanced at each other, wondering what kind of help she needed from them. They had no idea who she was. "As long as it's something we can help with, we will gladly help you. We are done eating anyway," the wife answered. Bianca nodded and sat down. "It's about the ongoing case of the patient's death. I am sure you have heard of it," she started and they nodded in response. "Too bad a good doctor like him has to go through all these," the wife said feeling pity for him. She let out a deep breath and looked at Bianca. "By the way, I am Lis

Bianca furrowed her brows in concern, wondering what had happened at home. She looked at the patient's guardian and said, "Please excuse me."She walked out of the ward and called Regina's number but she didn't pick up. Her heart picked up a fast race as she thought of what might have happened to her. Their last encounter before she left didn't end well. She remembered going back to Regina's room to get her purse which she left behind and heard her say something about been doomed. She walked in and saw how shocked Regina was. She got suspicious, wondering if she was scared because she said Damien had a lead. "What is going on? Why are you doomed?" She asked."Doomed? I never said that," she argued and tried to smile, but Bianca wasn't foolish. She knew she forced it."I clearly heard you say it. Why are you doomed? Because I said Damien had a lead that would prove he is not guilty?" Bianca went on to ask, staring at sister intently."Well, that's not it. The truth is, I wanted to u

Eleanor rushed out of the venue, her heels clicking sharply against the pavement. The cool night air did nothing to ease the tension tightening her chest. The weight of the evening’s events pressed on her. She scanned the parking lot, but Andrew was already gone.She cursed under her breath.She had watched him unravel inside the party, his composure cracking bit by bit. That final phone call—I have had enough—it wasn’t something to be ignored. She knew Andrew well enough to understand that when he reached his breaking point, things turned ugly. And right now, Andrew was a loose cannon, and she needed to keep him contained.She had seen it in his eyes, heard it in his voice. The despair. The anger. The frustration. It was all too familiar. He had been under pressure for months, trying to juggle more than he could handle. She had watched it slowly chip away at him, the cracks in his mask growing wider. Tonight, it had all come crashing down.Her heart pounded as she fumbled for her pho

The cold, dimly lit interrogation room smelled of stale coffee and sweat. Andrew sat stiffly on the chair, his fingers curled into tight fists on the table. His face was blank, but his mind was in chaos. The walls around him felt like they were closing in—four days in police custody, and not a single charge had stuck.Because the evidence was gone.He knew it had been there. The drug he planted in Damian’s blood should have led to the revocation of his license, maybe even a criminal charge. But somehow, it had vanished before the FBI arrived, leaving them scrambling for answers and him under unnecessary scrutiny.And now, she was here.Eleanor.She sat across from him, one leg casually crossed over the other, her lips curved into a knowing smirk. Dressed in a sleek black blazer and skirt, she looked more like someone here to negotiate a business deal than visit a man under suspicion."You should be grateful," she mused, tapping her perfectly manicured nails against the metal table. "T

The death of Eric sent shockwaves through the small town. The investigation was a chaotic affair, not least because of the heated confrontation between the detectives. No one was safe from suspicion, with every detail seeming to point fingers in different directions. The detectives caught up in their internal drama and started accusing each other, throwing accusations left and right. But the one that stood out the most was Bruno’s sudden outburst, followed closely by Charlotte’s volatile words.Charlotte had always been a fiery personality, quick to speak her mind and even quicker to jump into conflicts. Her long-standing resentment toward Eleanor was no secret. They had clashed on many occasions, but this time, it was different. The night Eleanor died, Charlotte had been particularly vocal. She had spoken out of pure rage, tearing into Eleanor's character with words that, in retrospect, seemed to be loaded with more meaning than anyone had realized at the time."She had it coming," C

Andrew sat in his office, staring at the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling window. The early morning sunlight bathed the glass buildings in a golden glow, but it did nothing to warm the rage burning inside him.Eric was dead.The only person who could have betrayed him was gone.And yet—He was not satisfied.This wasn’t the outcome he wanted.His goal was to destroy Damian completely—not just cause a minor scandal. He wanted the man crushed, humiliated, and ruined beyond repair.Instead, the media had turned on him.Instead of a criminal, Damian was now a victim.Andrew took a slow breath, his fingers tapping lightly against the wooden desk. His mind was already moving forward, calculating the next step.Who had interfered?Eric had done exactly what he was told. He planted the drug in Damian’s house—he was certain of that.So who had removed it before the FBI arrived?His thoughts immediately went to Eleanor.She had been too close to Damian.Too eager to sway public opinion

Andrew’s FuryAndrew sat in his dimly lit office, his fingers curled tightly around his whiskey glass. The amber liquid sloshed slightly as his grip hardened, his frustration boiling over. The room smelled of expensive wood and aged liquor, but none of it mattered.His plan had failed.The FBI had stormed into Damian’s house, expecting to uncover the evidence he had carefully planted.Instead, they had found nothing.Not even a trace of the illegal drug.The headlines were everywhere now, twisting the narrative in Damian’s favor.Andrew’s jaw clenched as he read the latest updates on his laptop screen."FBI Raid Yields No Evidence – Was Damian Framed?""Public Outcry Grows – Supporters Rally Behind Dr. Damian!""Damian’s License Suspension in Question – Possible Case Dismissal?"Andrew exhaled sharply through his nose. His heartbeat pounded in his ears, each pulse feeding the white-hot anger threatening to consume him.This wasn't supposed to happen.Damian should have been sitting in

The morning started with trouble Damian barely had time to process what was happening before his front door was kicked open. The sound of heavy boots echoed through his house as men in dark uniforms stormed in, their weapons drawn.“FBI! Hands where we can see them!”He stood frozen in the living room, his heart slamming against his ribs. Several agents were already spreading out, moving with precision as they began searching his house.“What the hell is going on?” Damian demanded, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him.One of the agents, a tall man with sharp eyes, stepped forward, holding up a warrant. “We have a legal search warrant for your residence, Dr. Carter. We received credible information that an illegal drug was stored in your home.”Damian’s breath caught in his throat. A drug? His mind raced. This had to be a mistake.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, his voice calm but firm.The agent’s gaze remained cold. “Then you won’t mind if we search.”

Andrew stood at the edge of his cellar, he pleaded with Eleanor to leave him to his thoughts, his wine cup slightly placed in between his hands as he absentmindedly tilted it from left to right. The deep red liquid swirled, reflecting the flickering candlelight, but his thoughts were elsewhere. He couldn’t shake the feeling of disbelief over what Eleanor had done. It felt surreal; if she hadn’t shown when she did things might have gotten worse than this but yet he still couldn't wrap his finger while she would do such a rare opportunity for Bruno.Bruno had been quick on his feet, faster than Andrew ever expected. But now, Andrew was acting on instinct, his heart racing in an unfamiliar way. The late hour pressed down on him, echoing the weight of his thoughts. Just then, his phone buzzed, breaking the silence. It was his mother, her voice cutting through his reverie. He was expecting this, he felt a little bit relieved that it wasn't his dad. His sudden arrest had gone viral.“Andrew

Bruno sat in his office, the dim light creating shadows that reflected his inner turmoil. As a detective, he was determined to capture Regina, driven by his anger towards Andrew. The thought of Andrew being free weighed heavily on him.In the interrogation room, Regina acted irrationally, blinded by her hatred for Damian. "Even if you tried to torture me, it would be a waste of time," she shot back defiantly. Bruno thought about Bianca—she would never approve of such methods.A smirk crossed his face as a plan formed in his mind. He quickly texted Damian about his next move.Soon after, Bruno and his team arrived at SAO County Hospital. The atmosphere buzzed with whispers as people speculated about why they were there.Bruno locked eyes with Andrew La Pete across the lobby. The gaze was filled with tension. Andrew smirked, saying, "What have I done to deserve this honor, Mr. Bruno?" He let the name hang in the air."You’re under arrest for being an accomplice in hiding the escapee," B
