Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 168
Damian couldn't sleep, he couldn't shrug off different images and thoughts forming in his head. He had thought of Bianca waking up and finding herself in her apartment and decided to sneak out or wake up to continue asking for Regina, and that's if she wouldn't shred him apart from sedating him or if she woke up and decided never to see him again…..He diverted his mind from his thoughts; the last part seemed dreadful, and he wouldn't want it to come playing in reality. He needed distractions but he couldn't think of one. He had been pacing his floor since he came in; he had dropped Bianca on the couch where he could keep an eye on her, yet the restlessness and uneasiness were still there. His grumbling stomach pulled him out of his thoughts and he decided to try cooking to get his mind off the worst. He decided to go for porridge and leave some for Bianca in case she woke up hungry. He was still in the kitchen when his mind drifted to his assistant he left to follow guidelines. H
Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 169
Regina’s heart raced as she limped through the dimly lit streets, each step sending a jolt of pain through her injured leg. She had escaped from Andrew, and the thought of his fury made her shiver. “He’ll be furious,” she whispered to herself, fear creeping into her voice. She had imagined her escape would be chaotic but it had turned into an easy operation. Her plan had been simple, she spent the night overnight to come up with something; All that it required was a little humbleness, and that she felt she could pretend and get it solved. A smirk appeared on her lips as she remembered how efficiently the plan went. She had asked for a fruit and with her humbleness to the maid assigned to her, she was able to ask for a knife which was given without a second chance. And when the girl wanted to prove stubborn and smart she threatened to scare her off…… ”So easy…” She mumbled. Regina hadn’t been outside for so long that the world felt strange. She had lost track of time, but one nam

“Why are our pictures hung there?” Damian traced Bianca’s gaze to their wedding pre-shot picture that was hung on the wall. He was meant to have discarded the frame, but he could not find himself to do so, not when he still hadn't gotten over her. It was a total coincidence that it was still there; if it had to be previous Bianca, she would have blushed slightly when she spotted the frame instead of one in front of him, throwing at him a murderous gaze. “When do you have all this planned? How well have you prepared your alibi?” Bianca threw him a dagger look, sharp enough to cut through ice. At first, Damian wanted to react to her words but he realized how cute she was when angry. His anger blew off and now focused on her lips, every movement, every word was like a melody song calming his nerves. He hated the fact that he couldn't even compliment her, Damian knew any word from him might fuel her rage. A rage he never took as one, at least not anymore. He was so attentive and ca

Damian needed his phone so badly, not being with it was a great disadvantage to him. He decided to send his assistant who had been silent since the time he rushed to Bianca. He felt he was at fault, he hadn't been a responsible doctor and a master, he might be his doctor but he was also an Intern assigned to him. He didn't know if he could leave Bianca to him and go for the phone himself. “Eric?” “I am sorry, I know I haven't been so active and been someone you hoped for. I promise to make it up to you in any way possible” “It's okay, doc! You will always be my mentor and my idol. It hurts that I couldn't help you more than this!” Damian was expecting something different, he was expecting an accusation but at least he was happy with the result. He took it as an opportunity and projected his mind. “Eric, some things are going on and they are huge, I wish I could tell you more. I am not sure if leaving Bianca to you till I go home to pick up my phone will be a great thing o

Damian had seen the voice message dropped by the unknown; his thought wandered off to who could own the number especially when it had LAN he could identify but wasn't sure of. The messages came in before Bruno's and Mike's, he was curious but not curious enough to listen to it. He felt it would be great if he showed it to Bruno first. Thought it would be best if he could trail Bruno to his office and if he still couldn't be found, his thought was to trail him to the crime scene where the pathway had been found precisely. He searched for Eric but the feelings he got the moment he saw him were complicated, his face looked so pale like someone that has been on laxatives. “Are you on any drugs!” Eric, who had tried to remain collected in front of Damian, felt his adrenaline kick in in fear the moment Damian talked about whether he was on drugs. He engaged in perspiration while huffing a sound of relief. “I am sorry! I don't think I am feeling too well, I will be fine” He assur

The air outside Mike's house is cold. The flashing lights from police vehicles cast a soft disco glow on the street as officers moved about, their voices mixing with the distant noise of the city. Damian's gaze remained locked on Regina as she was shoved into the back of a police car, her lips curling into a smirk that sent an uneasy chill down his spine. He had seen that expression before—one that spoke of secrets, of a dangerous game still in play. A familiar voice cut through his thoughts. "Do you still believe I have something to do with Regina?" Damian turned sharply to face Mike, who stood there with an air of unsettling calmness. His arms were crossed, his face unreadable. He was delighted not to have seen the cuffs in his hand but he knew Bruno wasn't foolish to have believed because he said he was innocent, there is more. Damian’s jaw clenched. "Then explain what she was doing in your house and tell me how you were able to convince Bruno because you have always been on hi

The soft silver lighting of Andrew’s villa cast breezy shadows against the walls, adding to the sinister atmosphere that surrounded him. He sat in his grand leather chair, fingers drumming lazily against the armrest, his lips curling into a devilish smirk. Everything was falling into place. His mind wandered back to his conversation with Regina, the way she had sworn her loyalty to him after foolishly attempting to escape. She had realized—too late—that she had no other choice but to align herself with him. And now? She was exactly where he needed her to be. A deep chuckle escaped his throat, low at first before growing into a full, menacing laugh that echoed throughout the room. Emma, who had been standing in the corner with her arms wrapped tightly around herself, flinched violently. Her entire body trembled as she clutched onto the fabric of her dress, her knuckles turning white from fear. Andrew’s laughter finally died down, but his smirk remained as he turned his piercing g

The sheriff’s station was eerily quiet, but the tension in the air was suffocating. Officers moved frantically, voices rising as confusion spread like wildfire. The news had broken just minutes ago—Regina was gone. Not a single sign of forced entry. No broken locks. No alarms were triggered. She had simply disappeared. Damian stepped into the chaos, his jaw clenched tight as his eyes darted around. Bruno was already there, standing in the middle of the station floor with his hands on his hips, glaring at the officers scrambling around him. "What the hell happened?" Damian demanded, his tone sharp, cutting through the noise. Bruno exhaled sharply. "We don’t know yet. She was locked up, secured, and the next thing we know, she’s gone." Damian ran a hand through his hair, frustration building in his chest. "That doesn’t make sense. No one saw anything? No one heard anything?" A low murmur swept through the officers, but no one had an answer. Then came a soft voice from the side. "

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
