Mr Gerald looked at the young receptionist, Davis, who was still in a daze. "How long has our guest been here? You should have taken him to the president's office immediately.""I…I don't…I had no idea… who he was," he stammered. Mr Gerald puckered his brows and faced him, "What do you mean you had no idea who he is?" He asked and pointed at the computer before him, "We have an appointment with him. He is the most important person in our meeting, who we have been waiting for.""I apologize, sir. He wasn't on the list of people having an appointment with you," Davis answered with his head lowered, not daring to look at his boss. "He has an appointment with Mr Crown himself. He is the only person having an appointment with him today," Mr Gerald answered, getting annoyed by his reception foolishness. He turned and faced his secretary who had been standing behind him. "Didn't I tell you about this?""I did tell Mr Davis about Dr Damien Williams coming here today. He must have been distr

Damien stared at the young man who looked genuinely sorry. He walked closer to him and made him straighten up. "I don't hold anything against you," he answered, much to Davis's relief. "Thank you, sir. Have a safe trip back," he politely said, having a huge respect for Damien.He had seen many clients or guests, being indifferent to the staff, and most times, the staff gets fired for something that wasn't their fault. But in his case, it was his fault for not recognizing Damien, but the doctor wasn't mad at him. "Mr Gerald wants to see you," Davis flinched at the voice behind him and when he turned, he breathed in relief. The secretary, who had made the mistake was standing before him, avoiding eye contact even though she was trying to act neutral. Without saying a word to her, he went back in and headed to the CEO's office."Did you know what you did today? Did you know what it would have cost us if Dr Damien had left?" Mr Gerald questioned, with fury lacing his tone. Davis lowe

"The deal is now official. Congratulations to us," Mr Crown said, handing his signed document to his son standing behind him while Damien handed his signed document to Eric."I will be looking forward to working with you," he said and stood up to shake his hand.Mr Crown sat down back and crossed his legs, "Do you mind staying for tea?"Damien clicked his tongue and answered, "I do have a place I need to go to.""Too bad. Why don't we do this some other time and talk," he suggested to which Damien nodded. He wanted to stay behind but he had to see Mr Benson.It was a bit difficult to get the man to agree to the meeting, and because of that, he wanted to work calmly and carefully with him. According to Eleanor, he was an ill-tempered man."Alright, I would love to. But for now, I have to go."Mr Crown nodded and said nothing else. Besides, he wanted to celebrate getting in partnership with Williams Hospital.Damien left the Crown's group with Eric walking behind him. Eric took the driv

Damien furrowed his brows at the sudden request of Mr Benson. A diagnosis? That wouldn't be hard to do, but why should that be a determinant to accept his offer or destroy his hospital forever?Seeing he wasn't saying a word, Mr Benson laughed and pressed back. "I knew it. You are just like every other doctor out there and you don't have any supernatural powers. I thought you would be able to diagnose me by just staring at me, but that's impossible." He laughed at himself for even thinking so."Are you going to accept my offer if I can diagnose what is wrong with you by looking at you?" Damien asked, using the man's trick against him.Mr Benson stared at him for a few seconds, wondering what he was up to. Could it be he would be able to diagnose him? He wondered but shook his head in disagreement.There was no way it would be possible, he thought and drew forward. "You are to make an accurate diagnosis in ten minutes."Damien nodded and drew closer to him, staring at his eyes intently

Damien walked out of his bathroom with water dropping from his half-naked body and a towel dropped around his waist.His eyes fell on the documents on his bed and he felt a sense of victory flowed through his body, igniting a spark in him.Just as Mr Benson said, he signed the deal with him before he went back to Africa. The Williams Hospital would be expanded beyond his imagination.He picked up his phone and quickly dialed Eleanor's number. She picked up after the third ring."Dr Damien, it's been a while," her melodic voice came on, and the smile enveloping Damien's face widened.It's been three weeks since she left the country and she had no plans on returning soon."Yes, it has. At this point, I guess you might relocate there," he said to tease her and she laughed out loud."I thought about that. I do need a break from the south. Not just a break but a long break. Besides, this country is so beautiful. I planned on staying longer after my business here is done," she answered and

Regina read the message again and jumped in excitement. The press wanted to see her. They wanted her to tell her story and put an end to Damien's deceit. "This is the best day of this month," she muttered and fell back on her bed in relief.After trying for weeks, they finally decided to listen to her. She quickly stood up and opened her drawer to bring out the final evidence. The flash drive contained a video that would ruin Damien completely. She rolled it between her fingers and widened her smile. "I wanna see how you will be able to escape this one, Dr Damien," she cringed her nose when she mentioned his name. She went to her closet to pick out the perfect dress for the press which she tagged 'Her revenge dress.'She stood before her mirror and placed her hand on her cheek, where she was slapped a few months ago by him. "This would be my perfect revenge. Never you try to hit a member of the Calloway's," she muttered.Getting out of her room, she almost bumped into Bianca who w

The reporter stared at her with wide eyes at her accusation. Assaulted by Damien was a big crime. He glanced at the camera man who understood the reason for his look and he nodded, giving him a thumbs up. The reporter cleared his throat and faced her again. "Do you have proof to claim your accusation? Assault is a strong word and he would be sentenced if it turns out to be true," he said to her and she nodded. She lowered her head and wiped her eyes, to make it look as if she was crying. "I do have a proof. I wouldn't say something like this without it."The reporter adjusted on his seat, knowing he was about to get a huge story that would shake the internet. It was the moment for him. The moment he had been waiting for. If he's able to get people to watch his exclusive, that would be a promotion for him. He would get promoted. "Care to share the evidence with me?" He asked and she nodded. She sniffed and opened her bag to bring in the evidence, but it was out of reach. She dippe

Regina stared at the flash drive Bianca was holding, like a trophy she won after so many years of competing, being taken from her wrongly.It was her only chance to bring Damien down, but Bianca was holding it back. "I need that flash drive, sis. It is important I go with it," she said, not taking her gaze away from it. Bianca arched her brows in awe of how far her sister would go in trying to ruin Damien. She had watched the clip on the flash drive and saw it was edited. She watched the interview and heard the lies her sister spewed. She couldn't hide her disappointment. "What is wrong with you, Regina? Why are you doing all this?" She questioned, trying to keep her voice low to avoid waking everyone. Regina scoffed and crossed her arms, "Why am I doing all this?" She questioned, with amusement enveloping her face. "You should be the last person to ask me that question because you know why I am doing this.""Are you serious right now? Do you know what you are doing? You are tryi

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
