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

Mike stared at her for a few minutes, still taken aback by the sudden barge in and her words. He let out a deep breath and leaned back against his seat. "You want to ruin him?" He asked with his brows furrowed. Regina quickly nodded and sat down before him. "I am tired of that man. He has succeeded in bewitching my family and now, they can't even think straight," she answered, scowling deeply. Mike let out a deep breath and folded his arms against his chest. "I thought you never wanted to see me.""I didn't come here for you to say that to me. Just help me out and I will pay you any amount you want. Name your price.""Still as rude as ever," he muttered and drew closer. "Damien met with me a few days ago and he said I should investigate you," he said, staring at her intently. Damien didn't suspect Regina. He was in denial that she would go that far in killing anyone. But deep down Mike's heart, he knew Regina had something to do with it. She was desperate.Regina's eyes went round

"Damien?" Mike called from inside. Damien looked at his wristwatch and sighed deeply. He had just a few minutes to get to his meeting with his lawyers. "Yes Mike, it's me," he answered.It took a few minutes before Mike opened the door, smiling nervously. "Williams, what are you doing here this time?"Damien drew his brows, not expecting his question. "Are you busy?" He asked and peeped in. "Or is there someone in there?" Mike glanced over his shoulder and averted his gaze back to Damien. "There is no one in there. Come in," he said and opened the door wide enough. "I guess you have something important to tell me."Damien looked around the office in suspicion, but he found no one. He wondered why Mike looked so tense if there was nobody in the office, but his thought was cut off when Mike said, "Would you like coffee? I mean, this is your first time in my office."Damien drew his brows together, wondering why he was so nice to him. Mike was always the guy who hated acting nice and w

Damien walked into a VIP's room with his hands in his pocket and his eyes fixed on the lady sitting on the bed. He got closer and stared at her without saying a word. "Are you going to keep staring at me? What do you want to say? Just say y now or forever hold your peace," she said with a frown plastered on her face. "What do you think I want to say?" He asked and folded his arms, waiting for an answer. Charlotte smirked and answered, "You can't be cool with everything that happened. I caused a lot of trouble for you and in the end, I still had to rely on you. There would be so much for you to say.""Caused trouble? Yes, you did, but it was never your fault. All you have to do is focus on recovering your body. Even though you are fine now, you need to relax and not think about that. We can talk about it when you are fully recovered," he said and scoffed. "I know I am to rest. You are not the one to tell me what to do." She rolled her eyes and laid back. "I will get better as soon

Eleanor walked closer and folded her arms beneath her bosoms. "This will a big evidence to clear your name. You were with Charlotte and both of us can testify in court," she clapped her hands. "We have CCTV cameras. The footage of that night would be a big piece of evidence for you.""You are right. I was worried the scandal would rise again," he answered and she nodded in response. "It will, but as long as we come up with a way to clear your name, the scandal will be handled later," she said and let out a deep breath. "Why didn't we think of this before?""Let me finish this call and we talk about it," he said and moved away while she went back in. "Mike, are you still on?" He asked and got a hum on the other end. "Of course. I overheard everything. There is hope for this case. If we can get the evidence you were with the ladies, that would clear your name easily," he said. "Why don't you come over let's talk about this. I got something you will be interested in.""Alright. I will

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
