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

The guests gave way as the president walked in. 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

Damien quickly texted back that he would be meeting him in the evening before he turned off his phone and faced the president."We will be running a few tests in association with your constant headaches. The result would be out soon," he said to him and stood up to leave but the president called him back."Why don't we talk?" He asked and looked at Linda who knew what he was talking about.She excused herself and the other doctors left too, leaving just the two of them.The president let out a deep breath and looked heavenward. "I know what is wrong with me. That is not the only symptom," he confessed and the smile on his face vanished. "There is no need to run a test."Damien sat down beside him and watched as he kept struggling to smile but couldn't. He looked sad and downcasted.He went on, "The election is fast approaching and soon enough, this country would have a new president. I have used up my tenure and over these years, I can't say I am proud."Damien stared at him intently

"We would like to partner with your hospital," Mr Gerald answered.The Crown conglomerate, the biggest in the country, only partners with large establishments and never looks at growing businesses or smaller ones.William's Hospital was newly built, and it was still growing even though it had shown a huge success from the beginning because of the large number of patients that came in.Damien read through the proposal again and finally took his eyes to Mr Gerald who was waiting eagerly."This is a big one," he said truthfully. "I would love to think about it and give you feedback soon."Even though it was a big opportunity for him, he had heard so many stories about big organizations taking advantage of smaller ones until they finally ruined the business."Alright. You can go and think about it but I will be hoping for a positive reply," Mr Gerald answered and just then, their ordered meal was brought to the table. "This will be a huge opportunity for us as we would be partnering with

Bianca dialed his number and placed the phone on her ear, but the line got disconnected.She laughed and brought down the phone. "Now he blocked me. He hates me and I deserve it," she muttered and stood up. Picking up her purse, she staggered out of the bar. …Damien walked into the Crown conglomerate with Eric trailing behind him. He had his eyes drawn trying to remember the important file they had forgotten. It suddenly crossed his mind and he covered up the space between them. "Sir, I think we forgot the financial contract document."Damien stopped and looked at the file Eric was holding, "Shoot, I cross-checked it but didn't notice it."Eric had offered to cross-check the documents to make sure they were complete, but Damien insisted. Since it was his first day working with him, he wanted to do it by himself. "I will go get it," Eric offered and Damien nodded in agreement. He handed the documents to him and left. Damien let in a deep breath, glad Eric was with him. How could

Charlotte stared at the message, contemplating whether to send it or not. "Damien hates this scandal and he won't be happy with me if I post this," she muttered to herself and clicked her tongue. "I can't do anything rash," she added"Charlotte, what are you doing talking to yourself?" Her grandfather asked, walking to the table. She nervously turned off the phone and put it down. "Nothing Father. I was just about to eat," she answered and stood up to go help him to the table "What are you doing here? I thought you had eaten.""I have. I just came here to get water," he answered and went to sit down. Charlotte smiled and sat beside him. "You will get it soon." While her grandfather got busy talking to the Butler, she picked up her phone to wipe off what she typed but she gasped out loud and the phone fell from her hand. She had posted it online by mistake. …Eric opened the door to Damien's office and walked in. "Sir, you called for me," he said with his head bowed slightly. Dami

"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
