Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 38
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.

Damien stared at the message, which was unexpected after what happened when they bumped into his car. He let out a deep breath and deleted it, not wanting to reply to her.One thing he remembered clearly about her was her tricky nature.Meet? He shook his head and rested back. She was trying to create a trap where he wouldn't be able to escape from.The driver pulled over in front of the hotel and he stepped out after paying his fare. He went up to his room and first dropped the proposal file."Such a crazy day," he muttered, as he suddenly remembered what the young girl, Olivia, did to him and the message sent by Elizabeth, which he wasn't sure how she got his number.He let out a deep breath and pulled off his jacket before he went to the bathroom to get refreshed.…Damien went through the proposal, which was good and beneficial to both of them, but more to him.Eleanor had everything in order. As usual, she knows how to tackle her business and brings in what benefits her.He looke

Damien's eyes enlarged seeing the huge figure on the cheque. A nine-figure amount. His words got caught in his throat and when he opened his mouth to speak, no words came out."That's a token of my appreciation. I know it's little, but it won't be all," the old man said taking Damien by surprise.Ten billion dollars wasn't little."But… but this is…" he started and went shut, not knowing the right words to say.The old man let out a deep breath and drew forward, "I can't thank you enough for saving my life. I thought I wouldn't be able to see my beautiful granddaughters again, but you made it possible. You are my savior," he said, wearing a smile on his face.Damien glanced at Eleanor who smiled at him and nodded her head, to affirm what her grandfather said."This is…a big amount," he finally said, after getting back his voice.They all looked at him when he said that, and the living room became awkwardly silent. The old man suddenly laughed and inclined back to his seat."You saved

'You were right, Dr Damien. You diagnosed what was wrong with my father but we were too foolish not to believe. I apologize for not listening to you to get the right treatment. My father passed on because of my foolish.' the message read."Sir, are you alright?" Silas asked, taking note of the change of emotion.Damien let out a deep breath and put his phone back into his pocket. "Nothing. Why don't we continue our tour," he said and Silas quickly led the way.Damien was shown every part of the hospital, which was all renovated and refurnished. He smiled in satisfaction as he got to the rooftop."This place was built with a little idea. It was improvised by a staff as we didn't want to make it look so boring. We wanted to give it a look that would make people want to come back here," he explained, hoping in his heart Damien wouldn't be angry with him for taking that step without asking first.Damien nodded and walked to the edge. He looked down and nodded in satisfaction. "This place

Eleanor handed the phone over to him, with a smile of accomplishment spread across her face.Damien let out a deep breath of defeat and sank back. "I would prefer a small gathering."She tsked and poured herself the red wine he brought. "Small gathering? You are the face of the medical field. Everyone would get disappointed if you don't inform them about your new establishment," she pointed out and took a sip from her wine. Damien could only agree with what she said. He had gotten tons of messages, asking where his hospital was.He sighed in resignation and picked up his phone which was buzzing with new messages about the hospital."So, you need a lot of staff to work for you because you are going to be getting people trooping into your hospital. How are you going to deal with that?" She questioned to which he sat up and snapped his fingers."Already working on that, but it might take a while because of the interviews that need to be carried out and assessments too. Once I get enough

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
