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

    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.

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.

    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

Do you mind if I become your first customer?"Damien quickly nodded, "Yes sir. The hospital is open for you.""I do need to run a check-up, and I want you to do that for me," he said, to which Damien nodded with a smile enveloping his face."It would be an honor, sir.""Ladies and gentlemen," Eleanor spoke out with a mic, getting everyone's attention to her.

    Damien pulled over in front of the hospital and handed the key to a security officer, who had his head bowed as he walked past him."Dr Damien," A young man called, walking towards him as he made his way into the hospital. "I got the perfect person for the job. He is waiting for you," he informed, walking beside him.Damien nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Does he have all the qualities I asked for?"The young man, Mr Davis, nodded in response. "Yes, doctor. He is the perfect person. You are one of my biggest clients and making you satisfied is my priority." Damien walked to the elevator and went in. "I will let him come up to your office now," Davis added before the elevator door closed.Being left alone, Damien let out a deep breath and leaned back.

    "This is unbelievable," Eleanor spoke from the other end and even though she tried to act all serious and shocked, Damien heard the amusement resonating from her voice. "How could this have escalated like this? You and Charlotte could have worked on something," she added and Damien was sure he heard her laugh a little, but she tried to hide it by clearing her throat. "This is not funny, Eleanor," he said and she lost the control she had and laughed out loud. "This is not funny, but this is crazy," she said in between laughs. "You and Charlotte? That is not a match made in heaven.""I know. This scandal is making rounds on the internet and everyone is talking.""Yes. I read through some mean comments. Probably obsessed fans of Charlotte and your obsessed fans too. It is causing an uproar."Damien let out a deep breath and rested his back against his office desk. An hour ago, Immediately after he read the latest update concerning him and Charlotte, he got an emergency call from the ho

    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
