Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 1
Damian Williams looked down at the small anniversary gift he had gotten for his wife as he waited outside her office. It wasn’t expensive, he couldn't afford things like she did. But, it was a small token of love and he hoped she liked it.Today was their first anniversary. He had imagined the day differently. He even planned for a celebration, maybe dinner. But instead, he found himself here waiting to meet with Bianca, his wife, in her office.Madison walked towards him. “Mr. Williams, Miss Callaway is ready to see you now,” she said with a forced smile.Damian furrowed his brows but he said nothing. Why was her secretary calling her by her maiden name? She had been Mrs. Williams for over a year, not Miss Callaway. Madison knew that.Even though, he and his wife had become like strangers, they were still married. Bianca was always focusing on her job as the CEO of Callaway Group. It left her with no room for anything else. But, she had called Damian to his office. It excited him. Sh

Just as Damian was about to leave, he stopped. He looked back at the office. Although he told himself that he would sign the documents on his own terms, there was no need for any delay.He returned back and signed the papers. Damian left her office without looking back. The signed divorce papers were on Bianca’s desk. That flimsy sheet of paper was a sign that the past one year was wasted on someone who never truly cared about him.There was no room for regret. He had done that he needed to do to make the marriage work. Now, it was time to move on with his life.As he stepped into the corridor, he heard Bianca’s secretary talking excitedly about the CEO meeting with her co worker. Damian couldn't help but scoff. The secretary couldn’t care less about the end of their marriage. Even Bianca only cared about the meeting that she couldn't wait to properly end their marriage. “Typical,” he said, putting his hands into his pockets. But as much as he wanted to move on, the pain he felt r

Damian stood there, staring at her. Her command sounded loud in the lobby. More people turned, watching the drama unfold.The security man still looked unsure. He didn't want to throw his boss’ husband out and then face punishment. So, he stood there.Regina noticed what was happening. If the security man was having doubts, it meant that a lot of people were having doubts as well. She couldn't have that. They had to know that Damian was a bad person for their family.“You disgusting creep!” she yelled, pointing a finger at Damian. “You tried to harass me and then attempted to assault me!”The crowd gasped while some murmured. Nobody was feeling bad for Damian. Instead, they stared at him judgementally. More people stopped what they were doing and watched. They had everyone's attention now.However, Damian didn't panic. He kept a straight look on his face. He had been through worse. Even though he was irritated by her, he knew exactly what she was doing.He didn't want to play along.S

Regina was shocked. She hadn't seen this coming at all. Her cheek was on fire from Damian’s slap. She staggered backwards holding her face. “You hit me!” she yelled.Damian ignored her. She wasn't worth his attention. Instead, be crouched down, picking up both pieces of the necklace. They laid in his palm. He seriously hoped that it was repairable.People were still staring and none of them had the mind to step in. This was a Calloway matter and they didn't dare interefere. Even the security guards that were supposed to through him out were confused on what to do next. Passerbys were beginning to film and record what was happening. The situation was becoming worse.“How dare you! You’re nothing, nothing!” She yelled, pointing her finger at him, “All you are is a worthless man who got kicked out of the Calloway family. How could you think of laying your hands on me? You’ll pay for this!”She kept going off, letting her anger get the best of her. “I'll make you rue this day, you bastard

Eleanor smiled when she saw that Regina Calloway stood frozen in place. “Who exactly are you?” Regina whispered. People were filming and watching. Nobody dared to interefere between these women, not even the security guards.“It's none of your business. I'm here for Damian.” Eleanor shifted her attention to him. “I have something urgent to discuss with you. Could you come with me?”Damian glanced at Regina before he nodded. “Alright. Shall we?” He asked.Regina led the way. Her bodyguards parted the crowd like the red sea. No one stopped her or Damian from leaving. Once they reached the parking lot, Eleanor stopped walking and turned to Damian. He stood awkwardly, holding the broken necklace in his hand.“You should be more careful,” Eleanor said, “People like her thrive on making others feel powerless. You shouldn't let her do that to you.”Damian blinked. “I know. I've been married into that family for one year. This is just one of Regina's games. But, why did you help me? You don’

Bianca and Regina Calloway still stood in the lobby of her office building. The crowd had disappeared, everyone minding their business and going on with their jobs. Bianca's mind was still running through everything she had heard.Regina noticed that Bianca wasn't ready to say anything so, she spoke up first. "What are you thinking about?” She asked.Bianca blinked at her. She only just realized that her sister had been talking to her but her mind was someplace else. Bianca stared at the red mark on her sister's cheek. Damian's hand had left a print.“I told you I’ll deal with Damian later,” Bianca muttered. “I have to meet the CEO of Everest Corporations now. I can’t let this whole thing distract me.”She checked the time. The CEO had said it was urgent but he was already running late for her meeting. It wasn’t helping that her thoughts were so confusing too. What had really happened between Damian and Regina? And who was that woman Regina talked about?Has Damian really moved on?Ma

The accusation felt like a slap to Damian's face. He loved Bianca. She was accusing him of being infidel. “I have been nothing but faithful in this marriage. Today is the first time I've ever seen or met Eleanor,” Damian explained himself.“I don't believe you,’’ Bianca snapped and she immediately hung up on him.Damian stared at the phone for a few moments wondering what had just happened. Bianca had never reacted this way before. Not to him.“Is everything alright?” Eleanor asked.Damian put his phone in the breast pocket of his jacket and nodded, “Yeah, everything's fine.” He replied, looking out the window.”Bianca began to pace. She and Regina dismissed the guards and returned back to her office. She was still so angry but then, she realized that she hadn't asked him what she wanted to ask him.Her mind had been occupied by the fact that he left with the CEO and in anger, she had forgotten to ask about what happened between him and her sister. Again, she dialled his number. This

A while after Damian ended the call, their black SUV pulled over in front of one of the biggest hospitals in the city. Damian furrowed his brows as he looked outside the window.He glanced at Eleanor as they began to drive into the underground parking lot. She sat beside him and her hands were folded into fists on her lap.“Where are we going?” Damian finally asked.Eleanor lifted her eyes to look at him. “This might come as a shock but I've been trying to meet you for over a month. It's been harder than I thought because you're a behind the scene kind of person. I had to reach out to your wife to try and meet you.”“Why are we here?” Damian repeated a little harsher. The driver pulled over and Eleanor signalled for him to get out of the car. He bowed and stepped out, giving them privacy."Jasper Mueller told me about you," she said quietly. The name rang a bell in Damian's head. He remembered helping the billionaire out. He was the richest man in the South.“He praised your extraordi

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
