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 Williams looked down at the small anniversary gift he had gotten for his wife as he waited outside her office. It wasn’t expensive, he couldn't afford things like she did. But, it was a small token of love and he hoped she liked it.Today was their first anniversary. He had imagined the day differently. He even planned for a celebration, maybe dinner. But instead, he found himself here waiting to meet with Bianca, his wife, in her office.Madison walked towards him. “Mr. Williams, Miss Callaway is ready to see you now,” she said with a forced smile.Damian furrowed his brows but he said nothing. Why was her secretary calling her by her maiden name? She had been Mrs. Williams for over a year, not Miss Callaway. Madison knew that.Even though, he and his wife had become like strangers, they were still married. Bianca was always focusing on her job as the CEO of Callaway Group. It left her with no room for anything else. But, she had called Damian to his office. It excited him. Sh
Just as Damian was about to leave, he stopped. He looked back at the office. Although he told himself that he would sign the documents on his own terms, there was no need for any delay.He returned back and signed the papers. Damian left her office without looking back. The signed divorce papers were on Bianca’s desk. That flimsy sheet of paper was a sign that the past one year was wasted on someone who never truly cared about him.There was no room for regret. He had done that he needed to do to make the marriage work. Now, it was time to move on with his life.As he stepped into the corridor, he heard Bianca’s secretary talking excitedly about the CEO meeting with her co worker. Damian couldn't help but scoff. The secretary couldn’t care less about the end of their marriage. Even Bianca only cared about the meeting that she couldn't wait to properly end their marriage. “Typical,” he said, putting his hands into his pockets. But as much as he wanted to move on, the pain he felt r
Damian stood there, staring at her. Her command sounded loud in the lobby. More people turned, watching the drama unfold.The security man still looked unsure. He didn't want to throw his boss’ husband out and then face punishment. So, he stood there.Regina noticed what was happening. If the security man was having doubts, it meant that a lot of people were having doubts as well. She couldn't have that. They had to know that Damian was a bad person for their family.“You disgusting creep!” she yelled, pointing a finger at Damian. “You tried to harass me and then attempted to assault me!”The crowd gasped while some murmured. Nobody was feeling bad for Damian. Instead, they stared at him judgementally. More people stopped what they were doing and watched. They had everyone's attention now.However, Damian didn't panic. He kept a straight look on his face. He had been through worse. Even though he was irritated by her, he knew exactly what she was doing.He didn't want to play along.S
Regina was shocked. She hadn't seen this coming at all. Her cheek was on fire from Damian’s slap. She staggered backwards holding her face. “You hit me!” she yelled.Damian ignored her. She wasn't worth his attention. Instead, be crouched down, picking up both pieces of the necklace. They laid in his palm. He seriously hoped that it was repairable.People were still staring and none of them had the mind to step in. This was a Calloway matter and they didn't dare interefere. Even the security guards that were supposed to through him out were confused on what to do next. Passerbys were beginning to film and record what was happening. The situation was becoming worse.“How dare you! You’re nothing, nothing!” She yelled, pointing her finger at him, “All you are is a worthless man who got kicked out of the Calloway family. How could you think of laying your hands on me? You’ll pay for this!”She kept going off, letting her anger get the best of her. “I'll make you rue this day, you bastard
Eleanor smiled when she saw that Regina Calloway stood frozen in place. “Who exactly are you?” Regina whispered. People were filming and watching. Nobody dared to interefere between these women, not even the security guards.“It's none of your business. I'm here for Damian.” Eleanor shifted her attention to him. “I have something urgent to discuss with you. Could you come with me?”Damian glanced at Regina before he nodded. “Alright. Shall we?” He asked.Regina led the way. Her bodyguards parted the crowd like the red sea. No one stopped her or Damian from leaving. Once they reached the parking lot, Eleanor stopped walking and turned to Damian. He stood awkwardly, holding the broken necklace in his hand.“You should be more careful,” Eleanor said, “People like her thrive on making others feel powerless. You shouldn't let her do that to you.”Damian blinked. “I know. I've been married into that family for one year. This is just one of Regina's games. But, why did you help me? You don’
Bianca and Regina Calloway still stood in the lobby of her office building. The crowd had disappeared, everyone minding their business and going on with their jobs. Bianca's mind was still running through everything she had heard.Regina noticed that Bianca wasn't ready to say anything so, she spoke up first. "What are you thinking about?” She asked.Bianca blinked at her. She only just realized that her sister had been talking to her but her mind was someplace else. Bianca stared at the red mark on her sister's cheek. Damian's hand had left a print.“I told you I’ll deal with Damian later,” Bianca muttered. “I have to meet the CEO of Everest Corporations now. I can’t let this whole thing distract me.”She checked the time. The CEO had said it was urgent but he was already running late for her meeting. It wasn’t helping that her thoughts were so confusing too. What had really happened between Damian and Regina? And who was that woman Regina talked about?Has Damian really moved on?Ma
The accusation felt like a slap to Damian's face. He loved Bianca. She was accusing him of being infidel. “I have been nothing but faithful in this marriage. Today is the first time I've ever seen or met Eleanor,” Damian explained himself.“I don't believe you,’’ Bianca snapped and she immediately hung up on him.Damian stared at the phone for a few moments wondering what had just happened. Bianca had never reacted this way before. Not to him.“Is everything alright?” Eleanor asked.Damian put his phone in the breast pocket of his jacket and nodded, “Yeah, everything's fine.” He replied, looking out the window.”Bianca began to pace. She and Regina dismissed the guards and returned back to her office. She was still so angry but then, she realized that she hadn't asked him what she wanted to ask him.Her mind had been occupied by the fact that he left with the CEO and in anger, she had forgotten to ask about what happened between him and her sister. Again, she dialled his number. This
