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

They had their cameras out, and the reporters who had made their way in were trying to take a picture of President Jonas.The president had his eyes fixed on the young doctor, who he had heard about. He walked closer and said, "Dr Damien, we finally meet." He stretched out his hand for a handshake.Damien who was in a daze seeing the president in his hospital, quickly composed himself and answered, taking his hand for a handshake, "It is an honor to see you here, Mr President."The president nodded and looked around the building, "Impressive work right here. 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. She went on, "It's about

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. The hospital was officially opened, with less number of staff, but they were enough to start up.The agency working with him to employ staff, was effective as their policy implied and they had brought in the best staff.Davis was from

Allen went back to the library and down to the basement. The door was still open a bit. He let out a deep breath and moved back, going closer to the door to avoid getting captured by the surveillance camera. He brought out two little explosives, which had been with him before he left for the meeting. He had slipped it into his pocket to use it when necessary. He activated it and threw it to the center of the basement. After waiting for a few seconds, it exploded and the building shook. The basement became smokey, blinding the cameras. An easy way to successfully rescue Josh and leave, he thought. He ran into the opened door and just as he had suspected, Josh was chained to a chair in the middle of the room with his mouth covered. "This damn people," he muttered and ran to him. He pulled the tape out of his mouth and Josh breathed out deeply. "You shouldn't be here. This is all a trap. Get out!" He said with his voice laced with panic. "I promise to always protect you and i

The second guard was standing before them, staring at them in horror. He was going to call his partner as he was taking too long and their bosses would soon be out, but he found him unconscious with the woman and a familiar man beside him. "Hey! Who are you two?! What have you done!" He said out, bringing their attention to him. He quickly brought out his gun but before he could point it at them, Mary threw the rod to him and it hit the gun away. Before he could recover, she ran and punched him hard on his face and the next to his chest, rendering him weak. He fell on his knees groaning in pain. "You should never have trusted me," she muttered and wrapped her arm tightly around his neck, to make him unconscious, while Allen went on to undress the other officer. The second guard finally went to sleep and she let him go. "Now, we have our perfect disguises," she said with a smile and made to undress him but Allen held back her hand. She looked at him with her brows drawn to

They both left the car and ran towards the state library. Just when they got closer, Mary suddenly held his hand and dragged him to the alley. "What are you doing? This is our chance to go in," he pointed out, not pleased with her sudden action. "I know we are two and I promised to fight with you, but are you a fool?" She questioned, which made him arch his brows. She never misses a moment to insult him. She went on, "If we go into that library as Allen Scott and Mary Jane, the project Erubus would be informed before we get to them and they will have all the time to escape and plan an attack. We don't even know where exactly they are in the building." Allen signed deeply, knowing she was right. He was going to make a bad decision but lucky enough, she was there to stop him. "So what's your plan? Are we going to disguise to go in?" She nodded. "We have to disguise. That way, we can enter as normal people and figure out what to do and where to go." "Won't it take a lot of time

"Mary?" He called, in shock. "C'mon. We don't have all day. My system is about to shut down!" She yelled out, getting ready to run. Allen nodded and hurried down the stairs. He put his glasses into his pocket and together, they ran into the woods, going as fast as they could. "We need to find a place to hide before the explosion," she pointed out, breathing heavily. "Come with me," he answered and took the next turn. He noticed a pit a few distance away from them and pointed it direction. "There!" They both jumped into the pit and a loud explosion followed next, shaking the ground and bringing everything on its path down. After the explosion, silence followed next with their heavy breathing loud to their ears. Mary Jane sat down and placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. "That was close," she muttered. Allen nodded and sat beside her, trying to steady his breath. She looked at him and asked, "How did you know there was a pit here?" "I took noti

Allen quickly made it for the door but found it locked. He tried opening it but to no avail. "Are there any escape doors close by?" He questioned, as he felt panic slowly seeping into him. "The left, the right, the the" Ultimate began to glitch until it went off. "Ultimate?" Allen called but the system was gone. "What the heck is going on?" He questioned and looked around for another door. He found an escape door but when he tried opening it, it was locked. "Dang it!" He cursed inwardly and went on to search for another door in desperation. If it was a bomb, the time would be ticking and he knew he had a few minutes to escape or that would be the end. He still had a lot to do. He promised Stephanie that he would be back. He still had to bring down the project Erubus and ruin his father. "I can't die today," he muttered, thinking about everything he had to do. He found a few more doors but they were all locked and the few that weren't, they led to a different room. It wa

"I knew something was off," Allen mumbled, bending low to avoid getting hit by the flying bullets. The driver immediately took a turn, while the security officers in the other car rushed out and started firing at the shooters. "Josh is in danger!" Allen muttered, realizing they had used Josh's phone and knew about the address for their meeting. "Stop the car!" He ordered, taking the driver aback. The driver didn't stop the car at first, thinking he had heard wrongly until Allen repeated himself this time, with fury. He quickly pulled over and Allen stepped out holding a gun. His security officers were so busy with the attackers, that they didn't notice when he stepped out of the car and ran into the woods, trying to use the backdoor. He took cover behind a tree and quickly wore his glasses, activating Ultimate. "You have two options for this mission: You either leave right now and call the cops to do their job or you will get an ultimate weapon, but you must kill all the enem

The case had been reopened, and the truth was finally coming to light. Bruno, with the evidence Eleanor had gathered, had managed to piece together a picture that no one else could see. It wasn’t just about Andrew’s death anymore. It was about the lies, the manipulation, and the sinister figure who had remained hidden in the shadows for far too long—Andrew’s father. With the new evidence at hand, Bruno had relentlessly pursued the man responsible. It hadn’t been easy, and it certainly hadn’t been quick, but in the end, it was worth it.George, the terrified man who had finally given up the truth, had provided the key to everything. The recording Eleanor had made of George speaking about Andrew’s father’s involvement in Andrew’s murder had been the smoking gun. It was the piece of the puzzle that tied everything together. Bruno had used that, along with the records from Texas, to take action.Andrew’s father, once a figure of untouchable power, had been brought down. His involvement in

It had been over a month since Eric’s murderer had been brought to justice. The case had concluded, and the aftermath had settled into a sort of peace that everyone was trying to hold onto. Life had moved on for most of them. Bianca and Damian were thriving, preparing for the arrival of their first child. Charlotte had moved out of state with Jason after he proposed, and the city seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. The storm that had plagued them for so long had passed. Or so it seemed.But for Eleanor, there had been no relief. No peace. Her mind had remained tangled with unfinished business, things she hadn’t shared with anyone. Especially Damian. She had left him in the dark, not out of malice but because she had to. He could never know the truth about her, about her involvement in the darker parts of the mystery they had all just escaped from. She had to keep her distance. He couldn’t know what she had done, not if her plans were going to succeed. If Damian, or anyone,

Detective Bruno leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning through the files spread out before him. The case of Andrew's death had been an enigma from the start. At first glance, it seemed straightforward—a suicide. But after days of investigation, there was something that didn’t add up. The more Bruno looked into it, the more questions arose.His fingers brushed over the autopsy report again, and it was clear—Andrew hadn't died by his hand. The cause of death was poisoning. He had been slowly killed before being hung in what was made to look like a suicide. It was a well-planned murder, and as Bruno flipped through the documents, he couldn't shake the feeling that someone had gone to great lengths to cover their tracks.But who?Bruno had been reinstated back to the case after the previous detective working on it had missed several crucial pieces of evidence. The detective, for reasons unknown, had been convinced that Andrew was responsible for his death. He had been so sure of it t
