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

"Then, you shouldn't trust anyone. For now, everyone is your enemy. You can only know the truth that way and when it's out, you will know who your most trustworthy friend is," the detective pointed out and drew closer. "So, are you ready to work on this case with me?"Damien drew back and thought about what he said. He was right. He easily trusts people, but deep in his heart, he knows Bianca and the Whyte's could be trusted. "I want to work with you on this case because I promised Mrs Legg to work on this case with her," he said and let out a deep breath. "Let's work together. Let's bring out the culprit."Bruno smiled and nodded, "Great. I see you are ready to not let your heart control you. We should work together and bring the culprit out."Damien nodded and stood up. "Then, I guess I am done here. I've got a patient to attend to.""Alright, doctor. Let's meet again soon."Damien began to head for the door but got stopped when Bruno asked, "Dr Damien, about the thing you got goin

Bianca screamed out in horror and made to run back but she halted when she saw the familiar face staring back at her. "Regina?" She called."You don't have to be so dramatic, sis," she replied and went back to the kitchen. "I am so hungry.""Regina, what are you doing here?" Bianca asked, surprised to see her. "Why ask that question, sis? This is my parent's house too," Regina answered with annoyance lacing her voice. "Besides, I was just on a vacation not that I left this house yet.""I know. I mean," she let out a deep breath and asked, "I thought you were going to stay away for a long time. Why are you back so early? What happened?""I decided to come back early. The vacation got ruined so it was boring. Are you satisfied with my answers now?"Bianca stared at her for a couple of minutes, not convinced by her reply. She was sure she was hiding something. 'Regina, what is going on?' she wondered. The sudden vacation and then reappearing again gave Bianca the idea that she must ha

Bianca bent her head but it was too late. Regina had seen her and was approaching the car. She got closer and knocked on the window. Having no other choice since she was caught, Bianca let out a deep breath and opened the door. "What is it, Regina?""Why are you following me?" She asked with annoyance resonating in her voice. "Following you? Are you sure about that?" She asked, acting confused. "I came here for a business. You must be mistaken."Regina rolled her eyes and clenched her jaws. "Stop messing with me, Bianca. I know you were following me. There is no business for you to do here."Bianca let out a deep breath and hung up her call with Damien. "Yes, I was following you because you gave me no choice," she admitted and Regina's frown deepened. "Why are you following me? Can't I go about with my business?""Regina, you are my sister and when I see my sister doing some things that would destroy are, or try to hide something from me, I have to make sure to find out what it is,

"Regina? I thought you were strongly against suspecting her?" Bruno asked and sat back. "I do believe suspecting her without evidence is wrong, but her actions make me believe otherwise," Damien answered.Regina was the only one behaving suspiciously, making it hard to believe she wasn't the one who had a hand in Ethan's death. Damien let out a deep breath and rubbed his neck. "She is the only one I can think of. She hated me and vowed to do everything she could to bring me down. That night, she was at the hospital too, although, she was sick and weak and I remembered we had sedated her.""Miss Calloway is a smart one. We can't underestimate her," Bruno said and walked to the board in his office. He turned it around and Damien's eyes stretched wide seeing the pictures he had pasted on it. The pictures of the Calloway, Whyte's, his staff, and him. "Those are a lot of suspects you've got there," he said with amusement lacing his voice. "Most of them are, most are not but are someho

"Boss, the footage can't be retrieved," Eric revealed. "What are you talking about?" Damien asked, not sure he heard right. "The footage can't be retrieved," Eric repeated and went on. "The engineer said there's nothing he can do. The person who deleted it was an expert.""Dang it!" Damien cursed and rubbed his forehead. "This is bad." He had his hope fixed on recovering the footage. That was the one thing to get the killer's identity, but it was gone, bringing their investigation back to square one. "He returned the flash drive to me. I think we should take it to a different engineer, boss. There might be someone who would help out," he suggested. Damien let out a deep breath and answered, "Find a good engineer. There must be something he can do." He hung off and faced Bruno who was staring quietly, waiting for him to tell him what was going on."The footage can't be retrieved. According to my assistant, it was deleted by an expect," he informed him and his face contorted into a

Regina stared at him with her eyes stretched wide and her mouth slightly opened. She had thought the case wouldn't be looked into because Damien won his case and Mrs Legg would be too poor to open up the murder case gain. "Ma'am, you have to come with us to the station. We have questions to ask you concerning the death of Ethan Legg," The officer repeated, jerking her out of her thoughts. Regina swallowed hard and batted her lashes. She tried to compose herself and send them off while pretending to be the most innocent person among them, but she could keep straight. She was nervous and shaking in fear. "Why⦠why do you⦠want to⦠want to see me?" She asked and swallowed the lump in her throat. "We are only taking you for questioning. You don't have to be worried as it is just a few questions, just as we have done to the other patients," he said, trying to convince her to go with them. Regina shook her head and stepped back. "But, I haven't done anything wrong," she said, try

"Regina, are you listening to me?" Regina heard Bianca say to her but her voice was distant and everything was dark around her. "Regina? Regina, what's wrong with you?" She heard again and the voice was getting closer. "Regina!"She jerked out of her daydream and realized she wasn't holding a vase nor did she hit Bianca with anything. It was all in her head."Oh my goodness! What just happened? Did I just try to kill my sister?" She wondered and covered her mouth with her hands. Bianca drew her brows together, wondering what was happening to her sister who was frightened. While they were talking earlier, she said something to her but she seemed lost and still like a statue. She called her name severally before she jerked out of her unconscious state. "What just happened to you? What were you thinking about that got you so lost?" She asked, which she knew the answer but she wanted Regina to talk about it. She was worried about the officers, which got Bianca more worried about her.

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
