Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 62
Damien looked at his phone for the tenth and let out a deep breath. Another call from the press which he was certain, was trying to get a meeting with him."The press keeps calling. People keep asking questions and even the patients are all bothered," Eric said in panic.Damien rubbed his neck and lowered his head. Regina wasn't trying to stop and it was getting hard for him."Sir, why don't we have a meeting with Regina and ask her what she wants? Maybe if we pay her, she would stop," he suggested but Damien shook his head."Money is the last thing Regina wants from me right now," he answered after minutes of silence. "She doesn't need anything. She is only bent on ruining my career. And also, she hates my face, so trying to fix a meeting with her won't be possible."He let out a sigh of exasperation. "That woman has gone too far. Why don't we involve the police?" He suggested but Damien shook his head again."There is no evidence to prove she is lying."Eric pursed his lips and sat

"What did she do this time?" Eleanor asked, with frustration boiling over her words."I don't know how she got the information about the investors because she is attacking them too," he answered and looked at Eleanor. "You are included, ma'am."Damien quickly picked up his phone and logged into his social media. Regina was in another interview.He tapped on it and listened.'Damien Williams is a cunning man, like I have always said from the beginning. It was all a plan to reap people who have nothing. There are big shots behind him on this. I do have evidence. The first is Eleanor Whyte, who we all know about her involvement. Jason Mueller also played a big role, I heard about the Crown's group being involved and an investor from Africa, but I will investigate more about the two. All these people joined hands to play this trick on everyone, so we all would believe a miracle doctor has come to us.'He clenched the phone in his hand and hardened his jaw."A little girl trying to play a

Mr Crown stared at Damien, with his face hardened. He let out a deep breath and sat back. "You told me you were going to handle this, but now, this group is getting involved," he reminded, with his voice a bit calmer than when he first spoke out.Damien walked in completely and stood before him. "I apologize for the Crown's group getting involved in this. It's my fault. I should have stopped this from escalating right from the beginning."Mr Crown stared at him for a few minutes before he looked away and sighed deeply. "You are a good doctor, Damien. I have heard about your good works and the president strongly recommended you to me," he revealed and averted his gaze back to him.Damien's eyes went round, hearing about the president. It was the president who had recommended him? He was shocked by the revelation."And the few times we have met, you were respectful and I can say much about you. But with all that happening, it is bad for business. I am a businessman, and I do not judge o

Regina climbed down the stairs and frowned slightly seeing her sister standing in the middle of the living room with arms crossed.She knew what to expect. Probably another scolding to tell her to stop, but she already made up her mind to make sure she saw Damien's end.She rolled her eyes and climbed down. "What is it this time? Going to scold me again?" She asked and stood before her.Bianca smirked, surprisingly looking amused. "You hate our family's business that much, don't you?"Regina crossed her arms across her chest and sighed deeply. Just as she expected, another episode of 'You Have to Stop', by Bianca."If you are trying to tell me to stop, then don't bother because I won't," she answered grudgingly, not wanting to hear any more of what Bianca had to say.Bianca laughed instead and nodded, "Alright then, don't listen. Go back to your room and enjoy it while it lasts because you might not get to sleep on a comfortable bed anymore."Regina narrowed her brows, wondering what

Regina held her cheek and gazed at her sister in horror. Bianca had never raised her hand on her but she did because of Damien."Mind your words, Regina," Bianca warned. She suddenly grabbed her hair and made her look at her. "Go and fix everything you have done and this time, I will not repeat myself. Don't make me lose my patient," she warned and let go of her.Regina regained her composure and fisted her hand, "I won't let Damien go. I will make him miserable!" She vowed and turned to leave but came face to face with her father, who had been standing there for minutes without their notice.She let out a deep breath of relief and hurried to him. "Dad, did you see what Bianca did to me all because of Damien? I didn't do anything wrong," She tried to justify her actions and what she said.Bianca rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, not feeling scared of her father scolding her. She knew what would happen anyway."This is enough, Regina. You have lied so much and now, people will find

Regina brawled her eyes in disbelief, while Bianca stared at her parent, surprised by their change of mind.They never liked Damien. They were against their marriage from the beginning but she had stubbornly gotten married to him."Why do you suddenly want me to get back to him?" She questioned. "You guys hated him and hated my marriage to him."Mrs Calloway covered the space between them and held her hands, "We don't hate him. We finally realized our mistake of treating him badly, and now, we want to set everything right again."Bianca scoffed and picked up her bag. "I don't want to get involved in this. Besides, Damien and I are divorced. He is living his life and I am living mine," she pointed out and walked out.Mrs Calloway let out a deep breath and faced her husband, "Honey, we have to do all we can to get them back together.""Damien wouldn't want to come back here. We won't be able to convince him," he answered, looking unsure of their decision."I will make him. I don't care

Damien stepped out of his office dressed in his black customized suit. He looked around and when he saw the black car parked aside he let out a deep breath.'This is it,' he muttered and walked to it.The security officer opened the backdoor for him and when he entered the car, they drove off.The president's secretary had sent a message, requesting his presence immediately. He worried something might have happened to the president and throughout the journey to the president's villa, his mind was occupied with so many thoughts and questions.They got to the villa and the backdoor was opened for him as they did at the hospital. He stepped down and met Linda, standing patiently by the entrance."Dr Damien, the president requested to see you urgently," she said immediately after he got close to her."Did something wrong happened?" He questioned, with his brows creased in concern."Come with me," she ignored his question and led the way in. They took the stairs to the second floor and she

Damien proceeded to read the comments, which were mostly in his favor. He had thought the post would cause another drama and he would have to deal with the new person, but surprisingly, many were supporting him."Did my fate take a new turn?" He questioned, and the corners of his lips lifted at the sudden turn of events.Another message came in and when he tapped on it, his smile broadened. A message from Eleanor. He glanced through it, picked up his car key, and left.…Regina kept tossing around her bed, reading the comments on the recent post concerning her sudden back away.A larger amount of commenters were all commending Damien and only a few were questioning why she suddenly deleted the post.She flung her phone and rolled on her bed. "This is a nightmare," she grunted and moved her hair backward.Everyone was in support of Damien and they weren't ready to see the truth. That got her pissed off, but there was nothing she could do.She pulled her hair but suddenly felt a sharp p

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
