Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 18
Damien stared at Bianca as she walked into the hall with a smile plastered across her lips. The smile he remembered clearly. He watched as she was led towards her seat by a staff, not taking notice of him. Eleanor's lips curled up into a satisfied smile when she saw Bianca walk in, just as she wanted. Since Damien had helped her, she vowed to help him out of the mess going on in his life. "Bianca is here," Damien said to Eleanor who nodded. "Yes, she was invited. Her company is promising and this is the right place to get an audience. Couldn't let her pass this one," she answered nonchalantly, still not taking her gaze away from Bianca who was seated comfortably, without the knowledge of her being the center of a discussion. "I never expected her to be here," he muttered and laughed a bit, trying to hide the shock of suddenly seeing her. "I was so busy that I didn't have a chance to tell you," Eleanor lied and tightened her hand around his arm, "Anyway, she is here now. You can u

Over the week Bianca had been busy planning for the gala she was invited to and dealing with her divorce, which was still a secret from everyone. Many who didn't know about the divorce kept asking about Damien, making it hard for her. Finally, the gala night came and just as she prepared over the week she was ready. She thought of focusing on her work and having a great night, that way, she would forget about Damien, so she thought. When she walked into the venue she decided to keep every thought out and meet clients to help establish her business. But when she sighted Damien, her heart almost burst out of her chest. What was he doing in the party hall? The gala was meant for top-known business people, and he was the least on that list. He left with nothing after their divorce, and it won't be possible to get a connection quickly that would bring him to the gala. Curious about it, she went to meet him. He was with an older man she didn't recognize. She wasn't bothered about who h

"Is Miss Calloway's accusation true?""Are you truly divorced because of your affair with Miss Eleanor?""Does Miss Eleanor know you were married?"The reporters soon gathered around Damien, bombarding him with questions. Eleanor bit her Lowes lips, seeing it didn't go as planned. The table turned and Damien was the one humiliated. She was overwhelmed with guilt as she watched him try to evade their questions. Damien couldn't believe Bianca's accusations. He had been nothing but loyal to him. He loved her and wouldn't think about cheating. Because of how much he adored her, he put his all into making sure her family's business grew, even though her family never wanted him. "Go ahead, tell everyone the truth, you bloody cheater!" Bianca yelled out. "Was it your intention to deceive your wife?" "Where you playing the two women?"Some reporters questioned him while a few faced Eleanor. "Can you explain your relationship with Damien?""Do you know he was married before you started a r

Everyone was left on edge, anxious to hear what had happened. Did Damien's treatment fail? They had a lot of questions running through their minds. Suddenly, Eleanor clapped her hands and jumped in happiness, "He is okay. Grandfather is awake!" She announced, to the surprise and relief of the three men. "Glad to know he is alright," Dr Mitchell said, with the corners of his lips turned up into a smile. It was the good news of the night. Damien on the other hand, was filled with relief. Finally, the old man was okay and that meant a lot to him. Mitchell began to see him in a new light. He was able to cure the sickness that no doctor could cure.The cure had been searched for for years, but he did it. "This is unbelievable," Dr Kim muttered and stepped forward, "You did find the cure every doctor has been searching for for years. This is unreal!" He added, with his face covered with surprise and shock. Hearing what the men were talking about, the reporters became curious again and

"This one says, 'Damien Smith, twenty-six years old, has shaken the world by surprise. He has brought hope again to everyone.'" Eleanor read out loud with a smile playing across her lips. "I must say, the internet is crazy."He nodded in agreement and sat down on the couch, facing her, "But how did they know so much about me? How did the bloggers find out? Now, I am really worried."She shrugged her shoulders and pressed back against the couch, "they are crazy and would get the tiniest detail of what you never expect them to know."Eleanor's phone vibrated again and she tapped on the message, "Another message again and this one says, 'Miss Eleanor, you did a great job at the gala today, it was wonderful. About that young doctor, can I have an audience with him?" She laughed and shook her head. "Every message I get is about you. Guess you are the trending topic today."It was surprising how Damien's life changed in just a day. There were so many things happening at once but he was more

Damien walked out of the hospital, wanting to take a stroll down the road. His head got clouded after seeing the message from Coy and his weakness vanished.It was a big opportunity. His dream, but there he was suddenly in between two decisions to make. He wanted to go there, but his mind seems drifted from working there. The road was busy with people hurrying back to their houses and some, going somewhere else. He let out a deep breath and joined the crowd, heading nowhere in particular. He let his mind wander to what he could gain knowledgeably by working with Coy Medical Center. The best doctors he could think of work there and meeting them would be a big push for him.He thought about the positive benefits of working in the hospital, which was located in the capital, and concluded it would d be more than he could ever imagine. He put his hands in his pocket and continued his journey taking in as much air as he could and letting the cool breeze of the night cool him down.His li

Damien drove down the road heading towards the northern city, using a map to guide his way. He had a patient to attend to and a few more before the end of the day. The corners of his lips curled up as he recalled the last conversation he had with Eleanor. She had gifted him a brand new SUV model car and paid him some amount of money, which he was sure would be enough to take care of everything he needed for a few months.Her grandfather was getting better, but he never had a chance to see him. He promised to visit again when he got back to the South. He drove into the city, which was busy as usual. It was a populous and industrious city, known for its beauty and busy nature. He drove towards a hotel and pulled over, handing the car key to the valet. His patient was the former CEO of the hotel before his son, Nelson Drill, took over the position. Mr Nelson was known for his temperament and how easily he punished people who didn't do as he wished or made mistakes. Damien let out a d

The older man, who was Mr Nelson's secretary, adjusted his glasses and examined Damien from head to toe. "Dr Damien?" He questioned again and shook his head, "Mr Nelson never mentioned the name. I know every doctor who was called in for the former chairman's treatment, and you are not one of them."The secretary, Brian, wondered if the young man had gotten the wrong address, but it couldn't be. The hotel was among the top three five-star hotels and no one can mistake another address for it. "Are you sure you were invited here by Mr Nelson?" He questioned again to be sure. Damien tried to get out of the security officers' hold, but they gripped him harder. He gave up on trying and faced Brian, "I got an email telling me to come here."Brian drew his brows together in confusion. He looked at Damien again, wondering if he was lying. Not knowing what to believe, he went on to answer, "I handle all the emails of Mr Nelson. I never sent an email to any Dr Damien. You must be mistaken.""

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
