Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 28
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

Regina walked out of the Calloway's company waiting for her driver to bring out her car from the parking lot. She scrolled through her social media and a message popped in from her group chat.Tapping on it, her face was immediately covered with a scowl. The name she hated was been mentioned in the group and everyone was highlighting it. It was as it has been, always about Damien. All her friends and people close to her have been talking about Damien. 'Where has this doctor been all this while? He is just so amazing. Got a message from my friend that her mother, who was dealing with a chronic disease is getting better, thanks to him.' She read one of the messages. 'Not only is he a good doctor. I have seen his pictures online and that guy is fucking hot and so good-looking.' Another message read. Regina read the message and scrunched her nose in irritation. If he was the Damien she knew, then he was far from hot, she thought, getting pissed off by the praises. She rolled her eyes

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. “A

The atmosphere became suddenly tense and eerie while Damian couldn't help clenching and unclenching his fist. They had just missed their chance of getting Regina because of his foolishness, he wouldn't stop blaming himself and Bruno wouldn't stop making numerous calls to ask for backup. Damian had just looked down on him even when he made it clear to him how much he knew Regina and Bianca. The tumbling car drew their attention. Both turned in horror as they saw a vehicle skidding off the road, tumbling dangerously before disappearing over the edge of the ridge. “Bianca!” Damian’s voice cracked, fear flooding through him like ice water. Tears filled his eyes as he called her name, his heart racing uncontrollably. Bianca was in that car—he could feel it in his bones. “Damian, we need to call for help!” Bruno, a seasoned detective, urged, his tone urgent. He quickly fumbled for his phone. But Damian was already moving, running toward the ridge without a second thought. His mind was a

Mary walked out of the water and wrapped a towel around her chest, while her gaze was fixed income Allen who was still shocked. "What? Haven't you seen a woman in her undies before?" 'But not you!' he wanted to say but the words hung in his throat. Seeing her come out of the water, made his heart skip a beat and he found himself admiring her. He swallowed hard and looked away, embarrassed that she had caught him staring for long. "The others would be out soon. Let's talk and go back," he said, averting the topic. "It's the middle of the night. No one would come out not especially to this pool," she answered and sat down on the second beach chair. "Trust me, they are all tired." She rested back and let out a deep breath. "I thought I wouldn't be able to see the stars again. I lost hope in surviving." He looked at her, taken aback by what she said. Maryjane was a strong-willed and determined lady who would be ready to face death just to survive. Hearing her say she lost hop

Allen, not expecting her sudden wake, jerked back and fell off the edge of the bed. "Damn it!" He muttered. "You are awake," he said. "Of course I am. You took so much time to wake up," she said and sat up. "You should have shown a sign that you were awake," he said and stood up. "I am hurt but you made me hurt myself again." "I see you are stronger now. You got everyone worried sick." "My hand still hurts," he admitted and went to sit on the bed. "Where is everyone?" "I don't know. I woke up and found no one here. Maybe they are all in their rooms. They must have spent the whole night trying to treat us." He looked at the clock on the wall and his eyes popped open. It was noon. "You are right, they must have spent the whole night and morning here." He sat back and let out a deep breath, grateful he was alive. He couldn't afford to die when he wasn't done with his mission. He hasn't gotten back at the people who hurt his mother. When he thought about his mother, his heart sk

"Doctor, something is happening to my brother!" Stephanie cried in horror and ran out of Dr Thompson's room. He quickly ran after her, going as fast as his legs could carry. He had left for a few minutes to get a syringe from his room and the next minute, Stephanie ran after him, crying that he had to go check her brother as something was wrong with him. "Allen you better not die," he said inwardly and entered the room. It was a cardiac arrest. "Everyone step back," he ordered and ran to the bed. He began to resuscitate him, while Stephanie, Josh, and George watched in horror. "This is all because of me," Josh thought, with his heart racing fast. "You can't die. Please don't die. I won't be able to survive the guilt." "Brother, please. Please don't leave me. I can't stay alone. Please don't go!" Stephanie cried out and rested her hands on her knees. "Please!" She added. The room was filled with tension. Everyone hoped for a miracle but with each passing second, their hope k

"Please, save my brother!" Steph cried out to Doctor Thompson. She looked at her unconscious brother and her heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling about the mission and just as she suspected, he got injured. 'If only I knew, I would have stopped him,' she said inwardly, filled with regret but it was too late. He had lost a lot of blood and was at the point of death. "The two of them are in critical condition right now and I am short of assistance," Dr Thompson muttered and rubbed his neck. "We will assist in every way we can. We are not experienced, but you can tell us what to do," Josh said in determination to do everything he could to make sure Allen and Mary get better. They had risked their lives to make sure he lived, and he wasn't ready to let that go. He owed them his life. "Great. There is an opening and exit in Mary's arms, which means the bullet went out of her the moment it was shot. But for Allen, there is only an opening. He still has the bullet in his sho

Allen looked over his shoulder at the men who were very close to him. He knew it was over and he would be taken to Project Erebus. That would be the end. It would be the end of everything he was fighting for and people who lost their lives to see him safe. He let out a deep breath and shut his eyes, giving up but suddenly, he heard the door unlocked, bringing new bolts of hope to him. "It opened," Ultimate informed and without wasting another minute, he opened the door and ran out. "Hey, wait up!" He heard the agents scream at him. "Get him back here immediately," the order came in next. With Mary on his back, it was hard to run fast as she kept slowing him down because of her weight, and he was slowly losing consciousness for overworking his body. He sighted a car coming but didn't look properly until it pulled over in front of him and he realized it was his car. "Get in!" Josh yelled and without wasting another minute, Allen entered, barely missing the gun fired at him,

"Fifteen minutes? That should be enough. Right now, I am in a better position to win this fight," he said confidently. He looked at Mary Jane on the floor and groaned. "You will pay for this," he vowed, glaring at him. Mr Grey laughed and carried the dagger on the table. "I would love to see how you will survive my rage. I might be old but don't underestimate me." He charged towards Allen, aiming for his face but Allen moved aside at the last minute, dodging his blow. He quickly punched him from behind, sending him flying back. "Sorry old man, but I don't pity men like you. I don't pity scums who work for Project Erubus and use people as experiments," he said and went after the man to continue his assault. Mr Grey saw his punch coming and he quickly moved away, making Allen's fist hit the wall. Allen groaned in annoyance and went for another punch, this time successfully hitting the man's face. "Hurting Mary was your greatest mistake," he groaned, going to attack without merc
