"It's just as I suspected," Damien said to the anxious family immediately as he walked back to the waiting room. Danielle and her mother stood up. "Will he be alright? I can't lose my husband."He let out a deep breath and answered, "We can only hope. I have discussed with the doctor who would be attending to him."Danielle's mother fell back to the chair, feeling downcast. They had hoped and prayed it wasn't something serious, but it turned out to be.She let her tears flow down her eyes, heartbroken and shattered. Damien felt his heart tighten seeing how broken she was. What was he expecting anyway? She's his wife."Don't worry, he will be fine," he comforted but that wasn't enough to mend her broken heart. Danielle drew closer and hugged her mother, trying to remain strong even though she was shattered deep down. They had been treating the wrong illness for a long time and that made his condition worse. Damien's phone rang out loud, distracting him. He excused himself and walked

Brian led Damien back to the hotel after he was able to convince him. Damien had another appointment, but the old man's health was deteriorating. Any further delay would cost his life.He took the elevator leading to Mr Nelson's office and when he got there, he found the young man pacing about."Mr Nelson, he is here," Brian informed, finally getting his boss to notice their presence.Nelson's eyes fell on Damien and looked at him from head to toe with his brows knitted together. "Are you Dr Damien?"Damien had seen Mr Nelson countlessly on TV, but seeing him physically for the first time, got goosebumps crawling all over his skin. Just as he was on social media and the internet, he was young and good-looking, having a stern look that gave the idea of how bossy he was. He was a business and serious-minded person and would do anything for profit. That was enough reason he was selected by his father to head the family's business. There was also one thing that got Damien intimidated b

'The old man is not sick?' they all stared at him wondering if he had gone crazy. Their father was unconscious and at the point of death, and his sickness was chronic. Sandra suddenly laughed and faced her brother, "Nelson what were you thinking? You brought a quake here to tell us father is fine?" She questioned, crinkling her nose in disgust. Nelson shook his head and went closer to Damien, ignoring his sibling's remark. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by he is not sick?" He questioned, his voice laced with curiosity."Stop this nonsense, Nelson. I know your plan and it's so obvious. You can't get the company's fund through with drama of yours," Neil pointed out and stepped forward. "I wouldn't let you destroy our family's company which father has built throughout his lifetime. I don't care if you are the new chairman, I will still protect our empire. You won't get away with this cheap trick you came up with.""I am not playing a cheap trick here. Why would I want to

Damien went on to administer the medication he had gotten for Mr Robert, while the siblings handled their issues, trying to find out who was behind the attempted murder of their father. He took away the medications Mr. Robert was on before and replaced them with his. He got everything packed aside before he faced the siblings, ready to tell them he was leaving, but he lost his voice immediately when he heard the doctor's confession."I never wanted to do this," Dr. Phil cried and went on, "He only had a severe fever and I treated him. He was getting better, but suddenly, Neil came to me and told me to change his medications. I had no idea why he wanted to do that to his father and I disagreed after seeing the medications he brought 'cause they have severe effects which I told him about, but he persuaded me until I gave in."Silence reigned in the room as the words of the doctor got registered in their minds. As if been controlled, they all turned their heads uniformly to Neil who loo

Damien stood before the long mirror in the room and adjusted his shirt to make it perfect. He was going to meet Mr Nelson again so he put more effort into getting ready than he did when he went to meet him the first time. Not for a particular reason, but he just felt the need to put in more effort.He picked up his car key and went out of his room. Nelson sent an address for their meet-up, which was in a restaurant uptown. One of the many restaurants owned by the family. He had no idea why he chose to meet him there, but he knew it might be because of what happened at the hotel. He drove to the address, using a map as a guide and when he got there, he pulled over and handed the key to a valet who took over the driver's seat and drove the car away. Damien looked around, examining the area following his instinct, before he averted his gaze back to the restaurant, which had transparent glass walls, revealing the interior design and everyone in it. It was beautified with expensive dec

Damien immediately went down and Nelson followed suit, lucky enough to escape being hit by the bullet. The men in black brought out their guns and began to shoot in the direction of the shooter. Damien remained in his position, surprisingly not as scared as he thought he would be when he came across a shooter or assassin. He had no idea why he felt so confident with the two men around them.One thing he was sure of was that, he wouldn't get hit. He was back to fame exposure and that was going to happen one way or the other. The room became calm and the two of them came out of their hiding spot. The two men quickly led them out, and when they were in safety, Nelson finally breathed in relief, while Damien kept staring at the room they had come out from. "I apologize for putting your life in danger. They are surely after me and I should have been more careful," Nelson apologized breathlessly, but Damien didn't hold it against him. "It wasn't in your power to control it. Besides, ne

The corners of his lips quirked up as he drew closer, not letting go of Damien's hand. There was nothing but anger and hatred in his eyes, which was noticeable to Damien. He knew he still had a grudge and he wouldn't leave until he got his revenge. Revenge on what exactly? Damien wondered and pulled his hand from his grip. "You don't have to throw away my card that way," he muttered and went to pick it up. Coming back to the cashier's table, Neil suddenly gripped his shirt and squeezed it tight, in a way he wouldn't be able to pull out. "You destroyed my life?" He gritted his teeth, with rage burning in his eyes, ready to burn everything it came across. Damien tried to pull his hand away from him, but the man was strong. "I didn't destroy your life. You did it yourself. You tried to kill your father," he answered. Neil clenched his jaw and tightened his grip, "I will never try to kill my father. You know nothing!"Damien smirked and let go trying to force his way out, "The doct

Damien drew his brows together, staring at him in confusion. What job would he want him to do that would attract bountiful pay?Whatever Neil was up to, wasn't going to end well. "What job are you talking about?" Damien questioned curiously his brows knitted. Neil looked around and when he was sure no one was looking at them, he stepped closer. "I want you to go back to the hotel and tell everyone what you said was a lie. You were made to say it. Tell them Nelson made you lie," he answered, taking Damien aback. "You want me to go as far as doing that? Then what would you do? Continue giving your father the sleeping medications until his death?"He sighed and every part of him spoke frustration, "I won't give him that medication. I just want you to tell everyone that Nelson sent you and you vindicate me from all these. Maybe my father may like me a little bit," he lowered his gaze as he said the last sentence. Damien stared at him, feeling pity. All he could see was a man, craving

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

Damien checked Mrs Legg's vitals for the third time and nodded in satisfaction. She had almost lost her life to a cardiac arrest, but they were able to revive her and her blood pressure was back to normal. He sighed deeply and handed the file to his nurse. "She is all better but would need a lot of rest and comfort," he said and the young lady nodded in response. Damien recalled what she said about people making things hard for her and he frowned. Were they making things for her because of the case? He couldn't come up with a conclusion, but in all, he felt disgusted at the people who dated and made her cry knowing she was going through a lot. He couldn't blame her for her accusations. "What can I do to make you see the truth? What would I do to make you feel even if it's just a little peace?" He wondered and sighed deeply. "Sir, what are you going to do when she wakes up?" Eric who had been standing behind him asked. He went on, "You know she despises this place and will surely

Regina's eyes went round as she stared at her sister, mute. She was sure Bianca knew something and that was why she was messing around with her. "Why… what … how could… how could… you think that…" she shuttered and swallowed hard, with her words hanging in her throat. She knew she was doomed. Bianca stared at her curiously but suddenly let out a deep breath and laughed. "Why would I even think you killed the young man? You can't hurt a fly physically. You are all talks but no action," she said and shook her head. Regina let out a deep breath of relief and lowered her head. It felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, but luckily, her sister wasn't able to figure it out."Bianca, I think that is enough talk for today. I need to go before I miss my flight," she said and carried her bag out of the room. Bianca went after her and held back her hand. "Are you sure about this? You shouldn't leave yet until all these settled down."Regina rolled her eyes and faced her. "W

Bianca stared at her for a few minutes before she averted her gaze to the bags she held. "Where are you going to, Regina?" She asked. "Why do you care?" Regina asked, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice. "Why shouldn't I care? You are with your bags," she looked into the room and saw the emptied wardrobe. "You are leaving this house and you cared not to tell anyone. What is going on with you, Regina?"Regina rolled her eyes and gripped her bag tightly. "I am going on a vacation and I will be out for long. I am tired of everything going on. You, mother, father, and everyone been bewitched. It is killing me that no one is listening to me!" She answered and paused for a few seconds to see her sister's reaction, but got nothing. Her sister was staring at her emotionlessly like she didn't believe her. She went on, "I just need a break from all these. The sickness, the troubles, you all." Bianca stared at her for a few seconds before she let out a deep breath and leaned her shou
