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 was dumbstruck and in disbelief as what she said got registered in his head.Seeing how shocked he was, Eleanor drew closer to explain further. "It's not what I mean. I do not mean anything bad by bringing up your divorce," she clarified and went on to say, "All we are trying to say is, you should get back at the Calloway for everything they did to you. They made you feel like nothing, so you should return the energy to them and you can only do that when you have the wealth." She explained.Damien understood what she said, but it still didn't fit right with him. He rubbed his forehead and drew closer, "I am not interested in getting back at anyone or having a reason like revenge to make money."Jason rolled his eyes and pressed back, frustrated with how long it was taking for Damien to understand what they were up to. "This is a huge opportunity. Just think about this as you meet investors to help build your business, and luckily, you meet the biggest investors," he explained.

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
