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
Damien was able to stop the car. He looked through his mirror and saw the car that bumped into him packed across. He breathed deeply and came out of his car. The back was badly hit while the front of the other car suffered the same fate."Hey, you! If you don't know how to drive properly, then stay off the road," the owner of the other car yelled while walking to him. "You tried to kill me, didn't you?" Damien looked at the hit again and let out a deep breath. He was driving at the maximum speed allowed on that road and made sure to avoid crossing over to the other lane. It was the other driver who was at fault."You are clearly at fault. You were driving above the maximum speed, weren't you?" Damien questioned which got the man pissed off. "How dare you blame me? You crossed over to the other side of the road and I bumped into you," he countered, using his hand to describe the diversion. Damien drew his brows together, wondering how he could accuse him of something that never hap
Intimidated by them? Damien almost laughed at her remark, but he was too frustrated to react to it. "Are we still on this?" He questioned and dialed a number on his phone. "Then, why don't we settle this legally? I will call the cops to see what happened and they decide if I am at fault or not."Simon stepped forward and pointed a finger at him, "If you dare call the cops, I will make sure you spend your life in the hospital."Damien let out a deep breath and brought down his head. The day wasn't his luck. He wondered why he had to meet them."Babe, let's go. We are only wasting our time trying to get him to pay. We don't want to get involved with the cops, do we?" Elizabeth whispered into his ear and he stared at her for a few seconds before he averted his gaze to Damien. "You are lucky my wife is a forgiving woman. I swear, I would have made your life miserable and taught you not to cross the path of people bigger than you," he warned and walked away with his wife, heading back to
Damien stared at his phone, wondering why Jason had requested that they meet. Jason has been out of the country for months. His sudden request came as a huge surprise to Damien. He was back!He let out a deep breath and fell back on his bed. But what could be so urgent that he requested they see immediately? He wondered and sat up again. Did something happen to him? He wondered. When they first met, Jason approached him 'cause of his health and Damien was the only one who was able to come up with a long-lasting solution. He let out a deep breath and fell back on the bed, convincing himself it wasn't something serious. Maybe he wants them to catch up after staying away for so long.…Morning Damien got ready for his meeting with Jason, which was going to be in two hours. They were going to meet in a restaurant in the North and luckily for him, it wasn't far from the hotel. He looked at himself one more time in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. Getting everything he needed, h
Damien placed his hand on his cheek, taken aback by the slap, which he never expected and didn't deserve. "Go on, apologize to me," she instructed, not bothered about the fact that she slapped a grown man, who she didn't know and had never seen, in front of everyone present. He clenched his jaw and dropped his hand. "It is not proper to slap someone you don't know because of something terrible you did," he pointed out, trying to calm his rage. She smirked and crossed her arms across her chest, "Someone I don't know? Who the fuck are you? From the look of it," she scrutinized him from head to toe, "You are nothing. People like you are the drivers and servants working for me."The other ladies behind her laughed, enjoying the drama. Damien let out a deep breath and put his hands into his pocket. The young girl would be about eighteen or twenty, and she still had a long way to go, he thought.He shook his head in pity at who she was becoming even at a young age. "Young lady, you are
Olivia flinched in fright, knowing the footage would reveal she was the one who harassed him. She had slapped him and even tried to force him to apologize.Damien rubbed his neck, knowing Jason was waiting for him. It was a long time and when they met again, he would be late.He groaned at the thought.The security officers brightened in the footage and Mr Walter took it to go watch the video in his office. Olivia tried to go with him but he stopped her.After what seemed like forever even though it was just ten minutes, he came back with his face covered in anger."Father I," He cut her off by lifting his hand."Enough now, Olivia. Enough of this nonsense," he warned and faced her fully, "Is this how you go about harassing people all because you came from a wealthy family? I trained you better than this!" He raised his voice with disappointment lacing his words."Dad," She started but he ignored her and faced Damien. "I apologize for my daughter's lack of moral character. I should ha
Damien stared at her perplexed. She had a neutral look on her face as if she never said a word.She lifted her brows, staring at him inquisitively. "Why are you staring at me like that?""You just said, 'just like you'," he repeated what she said and she drew her brows together in confusion."When did I say that? Are you sure you aren't hearing things?" She questioned, staring at him in amusement. She poured the whiskey into her glass and brought it to her mouth.Damien knitted his brows together. He was sure he heard her. Why was she denying what she said? He wondered as he watched her take a sip of whiskey.She sucked her teeth and looked at him. "You are right, this is good and hot."He nodded in agreement and decided to pretend he never heard her call him hot. He sat on the couch facing her and rested back on the seat. "Anyway, we should talk about the scandal.""Why are you so bothered about this scandal? Why don't we just let it be?" The room became silent with the both of the
Charlotte rolled on her bed, smiling sheepishly as she scrolled down the comments section. She tapped on a comment and after reading it, she laughed out loud. "Even though this is fake news, these fans are crazy," she muttered and zoomed Damien's picture, getting his face to come into full view. "Are we a match?" She clicked her tongue and stood up. Standing by the mirror, she looked at her reflection and looked back at Damien's picture. "We do look good together. A man as handsome as Damien and a woman as beautiful as me. The perfect couple," she said and winked at her reflection. While admiring her reflection, her phone rang distracting her. She frowned but when she saw the name on her phone, a smile played on her face.She cleared her throat and placed the phone on her ear, "Hello.""Hello Charlotte, we need to talk," Damien said, going straight to the point. She twisted her lips and went to sit on the bed. "Let me guess, it's about the scandal. You want to come up with a solut
Damien's eyes went around, looking at his image on the TV screen while dumbstruck. Dating? 'I am not daring Charlotte,' he wanted to scream out but his words would fall on deaf ears. Everyone in the restaurant had their eyes and ears on the TV, as his name had been mentioned. He averted his gaze to Bianca and saw her watching the news with her eyes widened. 'This news was confirmed to be true after they were spotted being intimate at a restaurant. The clip has been making rounds on the internet. Would they be the couple of the century?' The news went on.Damien fisted his hand in disbelief. Everyone in the restaurant was talking about it, not knowing he was there with them. "The youngest daughter? I thought he would end up with the oldest daughter because they seemed pretty close," he heard a man say."I thought that too, but we never can know the ways of men. He has always loved the youngest and the first was just a friend or business partner," another man seconded. "They are so
Damien's eyes widened at the lawyer's revelation. He remembered what Regina said about telling Bianca not to submit the divorce papers, and he put himself on a fix. It's either Regina told her not to submit it or she did on her own.He let out a loud inhale and fixed his eyes on nothing as he dived into deep thoughts. Regina hates him so much and has always wanted him to leave the family. Getting divorced was a huge relief for her. There was no way she was going to tell Bianca not to submit the divorce paper. She was lying as she always does. "The Calloway's always have a way of putting me in a fix," he muttered and clicked his tongue. His phone beeped and when he saw the name popping on his screen, he hesitated to pick it up. It was Bianca calling. Knowing she was still his wife changed everything for him. He watched the phone ring until it stopped. Letting out a deep breath, he looked away but almost immediately, his phone started ringing again and it was still Bianca calling.
Damien stared at Bianca as Regina's words repeated in his head. Was he truly living a dream? If Bianca didn't submit the divorce, that meant they were still married. He knew Regina would do anything to rile him up, and that made him have a second thought about it. Bianca drew her brows together, in wonder at why they were both staring at her. She glanced at Regina for a second and averted her gaze back to Damien. "What is going on?" She questioned but got no reply. "Damien, what did Regina say to you?" "Why did you think I would say anything to him? He is not that important to me to start a conversation," Regina grumbled. Bianca shot her a glare and wanted to shut her up but Damien spoke first. "I have some patients to attend to."She nodded at him and moved aside. Damien walked out of the room with one question in his head. 'Why didn't she submit the document?'Was she planning to submit it later after being too busy to submit it? So many questions and thoughts, and he got distr
She walked closer and covered a large space between them. She examined him from head to toe and smirked. "Not bad. You changed a lot and I almost did not recognize you. You disappeared after receiving so much help from my grandfather, just to enjoy it all," she accused.Damien drew his brows. He tried to take a step closer but she held up her hand and stopped him. "Don't come closer!"Damien became confused and tried to find out what was going on as she looked so pissed off. He tried going closer but with each step he took, she stepped back. She suddenly laughed out, pointing at his face. "I got you so good. See how confused you look.""I am confused," he said, and she let out a deep breath and walked closer. "I was only playing a prank on you to pretend to be angry but not really. It's so good you fell," she jumped and clapped her hands like a little child who got the snacks she always wanted. He laughed and shook his head, understanding what the prank was about. "Anyway, what a
Regina looked at Damien with a frown on his face. "How did I get here?" She questioned with disbelief lacing her voice. She averted her gaze to Bianca and clenched her jaw. "Did you bring me here? I thought I made it clear that I don't want to have anything to do with Damien William?"Bianca frowned and stood up, "What are you talking about, Regina? What is wrong with you?""Why did you bring me here?" She raised her voice, with annoyance resonating from her tone. Bianca rubbed her neck in frustration. Regina hasn't changed even after experiencing a life-threatening sickness. "You came in here yourself. I was called by Damien who told me you were here. Have you forgotten all these?""Liar!" Regina accused. "Why would I come to the hospital I hate so much to be treated by the man I don't want to see at all?"Bianca rolled her eyes and sat down. "What's your problem, Regina? Right after you wake up, you are about to bring this hospital down." She let out a deep breath and looked at he
Damian and Bianca found themselves in Regina’s hospital room. The tension in the air was palpable, but neither of them wanted to leave the other’s side. Damian stood by the monitors, adjusting a few settings, while Bianca sat in the corner, her hands folded tightly in her lap.“How’s she doing?” Bianca asked softly, her eyes flickering to her sister’s pale face.“She’s stable for now,” Damian replied, his tone professional. “But her condition is still critical. If the treatment I’m testing doesn’t work, we’ll need to consider more drastic measures.”Bianca bit her lip, her gaze dropping to her hands. “I never thought I’d see her like this. Regina’s always been so... untouchable. Seeing her vulnerable like this... it’s hard.”Damian walked over, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “She’s strong, Bianca. She’ll fight through this. And I’ll do everything in my power to help her.”She looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Damian. For everything. I know Regin
Damien was taken aback by her sudden request. A date? He wanted to ask about it but she suddenly laughed and waved her hand. "I was just joking. I wanted to see the look on your face and you didn't disappoint. You look so shocked," she laughed mockingly. Damien pursed his lips and nodded. He was taken aback and wasn't expecting her to ask for a date. "You did take me by surprise. I wondered if I had heard someone else speak," he answered. She laughed again and when she had a fill, she shook her head. "Anyway, I want to ask for dinner instead. I want to thank you for everything you did for Regina. You have it all, so a gift would just be added to your collections. This is the only appreciative way I can think of."Damien looked at his wristwatch and drew in a deep breath, "I don't think I will be able to make it. My schedule is filled up today. I have missed a lot of meetings and events for the hospital. I need to work on them."Bianca twisted her lips, feeling disappointed and at t
