Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 158
Damian could barely keep up; everything was happening so fast. The noise and chaos of the hospital swirled around him, but his focus remained on Bianca. She lay unconscious, her breathing steady but shallow, and he couldn’t help but feel unsure about whether he should continue with the investigation or not. Bruno had just reported to him that apart from the wrecked car, no other evidence had been found. Regina's body was still missing. “Could she have escaped the scene? Could she have drowned?” Different questions raced through his mind, each one more troubling than the last. The uncertainty gnawed at him. He returned his gaze to Bianca, whose heartbeat had stabilized. Her color was gradually returning to normal, a sight that brought a sigh of relief from deep within him. But even as he felt a flicker of hope, the jolt of his phone interrupted his thoughts. It was Bruno again. He hesitated to pick it up, but he knew he had to—he had been involved in this case from the beginning. “An

Damian checked the file with him, he had the doctor carry out the rest since he noticed it first. He should have known from the moment he was trying to revive her that something was missing but he was distracted. He couldn't stop blaming himself for letting things teach this stage before he noticed it. He stepped out of the room so as not to disturb Bianca who just fell asleep. He closed the door lightly, planning on studying the whole result. Maybe he could deduce where everything has gone wrong. “Dr Damian?” The sudden call of his name jolted him from his focus…..He checked back to find the least of people he was expecting! “Mike?” The disgust laced his tone, anger, and rage surging in him. He could barely control himself not to throw him a blow. He gave him a wry smile while dipping his hands into his pants pocket, he knew he needed to control himself. He had just resolved one scandal; he couldn't afford to lose the name he had built for himself. He couldn't stop wondering w

“Retrograde amnesia?” “Exactly. It involves the loss of pre-existing memories. Significant life events could be forgotten, and she might struggle to recall personal details like her age or workplace. She did remember her job and her sister, but the incident leading to the accident? That’s a complete blank!” “What are your plans?” “I’m handling it myself. I just need to determine a safe place for her, especially with her sister still out there. A hospital isn't an option.” “What about Eleanor's?” “I’ll consider that further. I have to go now. I left her ward with a few bodyguards, but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s still unsafe!” “...And keep me posted on Julia; someone has to take the fall.” “I’m not sure about that. I’d prefer to handle it my way.” Damian shot him a glance before disappearing through the door. **** Regina woke up to a sharp throbbing pain and instinctively moved her hands to the source of the discomfort, shock washing over her as she noticed the bandage

“Andrew?” “Are you surprised to see me?” “How come you are still alive?” “You are welcome” Andrew Interjected while wearing a scowl. He had anticipated Regina's accusation rather than gratitude. “Ooh…..you are welcome! What a nice way to say thank you. You've neither grown nor changed; you are still the bitch that you were!” Regina smacked her lips, he wasn't expecting Andrew to bring the last like he did. She wanted to apologize, but her pride wouldn't let her. Instead, she thought of shifting the topic to something else. “How were you able to save me?” Andrew drew a mischievous smirk while he looked down at her with a scorching stare that could burn through one’s skin. “You are not getting it, are you? To hell with those times and moments, we spent together doing cat and dog; this is a real deal, Regina, and here in my house, my rules, I am your master, and you are nothing but my maid!” Andrew spatted dismissively while walking back towards the door. “You are insane Andrew

“Do you want a helping hand, I can pull a string, you know!” “No! What I need is my peace and you are disrupting that!” Damian locked gaze with Eleanor searching for something he could only define. Eleanor had been acting distant ever since they talked about him moving down here from Texas. He wanted Eleanor, but his ambition and interest were far stronger than the love he had for her. He wanted her because she only matched his power, and he could dominate her prowess, which he didn't mind. They had known each other before the death of her parent just that they started dating a few years back. He was rounding off his medical school when he knew about the illness of the Pa and they all thought he was going to die because he had been doing some research as well which had been proving abortive and that's why he couldn't contain his anger when he was told a random guy found a cure to the illness reviving Pa. He creased his brow as an idea struck him with a sudden laughter piercing the

“Damian.” “Are you Damian, right?” Damian’s mouth fell wide open, shock coursing through him. His veins felt as if they were on fire with a mix of emotions he hadn’t expected. The woman before him, once a cherished part of his life, stood there with a blank expression. She had amnesia, and he had vowed to do everything in his power to help her regain her memory. But now, hearing her voice call his name stirred a longing within him that seemed to echo in the silence. Her tone was beautiful yet haunting, reminding him of what once was. The reality hit him hard; the woman he loved couldn’t even remember him. The weight of that truth crashed down on him like a tidal wave. “Hello! Did I say something wrong? I thought you said that was your name!” Damian jolted at her words, pulling himself together. He realized that pressing her with questions could disrupt the precious moments they had together. Instead, he decided to keep the conversation light. “Yeah, sorry! I zoned out. You’re rig

“I told you I will protect you. If you have anything bothering you and need someone to talk to… I am here for you, Bianca,” Damian said, his voice laced with concern. He couldn’t shake the worry about whatever Andrew might have said while he was outside. Though he found Andrew intimidating, he didn’t see him as dangerous. Instead, he perceived him as a young doctor, perhaps looking up to him as a mentor. Still, he brushed the thought aside, unwilling to dwell on it. “Uhmmm, thanks!” Bianca replied, her voice barely above a whisper. She wished for some space to gather her thoughts. Trusting someone who felt like a stranger was complicated, and Andrew’s sudden appearance stirred her emotions, making her feel less secure with Damian, the one person who was supposed to be her anchor. Damian noticed her short response and felt a pang of jealousy. Why was she so curious about Andrew? Did she trust him more than she trusted Damian? The thought twisted in his gut, making him feel uneasy. He

The sight unfolding before Andrew was one he had anticipated, and it filled him with dread. Andrew stood there, feigning concern while a smirk danced on the edge of his lips. To Andrew, this was a perfect opportunity—an open door to further torment Damian, and he seemed to relish it. Damian couldn't stop thinking of what Andrew might have in mind at the moment he approached, he might look intimidating yet he wasn't looking like someone who could have an ill intention. He tried to shrug the thought away believing he was just someone that wanted to get closer to him Andrew’s expression was almost giddy as if he had just received thrilling news he couldn't wait to share. He couldn’t stop smiling, and it was a smile that sent a chill down Damian’s spine which he ignored. Andrew was planning to grant someone’s wish when he got home, what happened to him was a blessing in disguise, he saw the chaos between Bianca and Damian as the first step to his achievement. “Doc. Damian?” Andrew called

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
