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
Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 67
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

Damian sat in the dimly lit hospital room, the rhythmic beeping of machines creating a soothing backdrop to the whirlwind of emotions swirling within him. Bianca lay in the bed, her face framed by tousled hair, eyes fluttering open as if awakening from a long, deep sleep. The moment their gazes met, a spark ignited between them, a connection that transcended the confines of the sterile room.“Damian?” she said, her voice a whisper, filled with disbelief. “Is it you?”He nodded, his heart racing as he leaned closer, absorbing every detail of her expression. It was as if time had folded in on itself, and the world outside had faded away. “Yes, it’s me. You’re safe now,” he replied, his voice steady but thick with emotion.As the reality of her surroundings settled in, Bianca’s brow furrowed in confusion. “I… I remember things, but they’re all jumbled. The last clear memory I have is—Regina!” Her voice wavered, and a tremor of disappointment coursed through her. “She knocked me out of co

Damian could barely keep up; everything was happening so fast. The noise and chaos of the hospital swirled around him, but his focus remained on Bianca. She lay unconscious, her breathing steady but shallow, and he couldn’t help but feel unsure about whether he should continue with the investigation or not. Bruno had just reported to him that apart from the wrecked car, no other evidence had been found. Regina's body was still missing. “Could she have escaped the scene? Could she have drowned?” Different questions raced through his mind, each one more troubling than the last. The uncertainty gnawed at him. He returned his gaze to Bianca, whose heartbeat had stabilized. Her color was gradually returning to normal, a sight that brought a sigh of relief from deep within him. But even as he felt a flicker of hope, the jolt of his phone interrupted his thoughts. It was Bruno again. He hesitated to pick it up, but he knew he had to—he had been involved in this case from the beginning. “A

The atmosphere became suddenly tense and eerie while Damian couldn't help clenching and unclenching his fist. They had just missed their chance of getting Regina because of his foolishness, he wouldn't stop blaming himself and Bruno wouldn't stop making numerous calls to ask for backup. Damian had just looked down on him even when he made it clear to him how much he knew Regina and Bianca. The tumbling car drew their attention. Both turned in horror as they saw a vehicle skidding off the road, tumbling dangerously before disappearing over the edge of the ridge. “Bianca!” Damian’s voice cracked, fear flooding through him like ice water. Tears filled his eyes as he called her name, his heart racing uncontrollably. Bianca was in that car—he could feel it in his bones. “Damian, we need to call for help!” Bruno, a seasoned detective, urged, his tone urgent. He quickly fumbled for his phone. But Damian was already moving, running toward the ridge without a second thought. His mind was a

Mary walked out of the water and wrapped a towel around her chest, while her gaze was fixed income Allen who was still shocked. "What? Haven't you seen a woman in her undies before?" 'But not you!' he wanted to say but the words hung in his throat. Seeing her come out of the water, made his heart skip a beat and he found himself admiring her. He swallowed hard and looked away, embarrassed that she had caught him staring for long. "The others would be out soon. Let's talk and go back," he said, averting the topic. "It's the middle of the night. No one would come out not especially to this pool," she answered and sat down on the second beach chair. "Trust me, they are all tired." She rested back and let out a deep breath. "I thought I wouldn't be able to see the stars again. I lost hope in surviving." He looked at her, taken aback by what she said. Maryjane was a strong-willed and determined lady who would be ready to face death just to survive. Hearing her say she lost hop

Allen, not expecting her sudden wake, jerked back and fell off the edge of the bed. "Damn it!" He muttered. "You are awake," he said. "Of course I am. You took so much time to wake up," she said and sat up. "You should have shown a sign that you were awake," he said and stood up. "I am hurt but you made me hurt myself again." "I see you are stronger now. You got everyone worried sick." "My hand still hurts," he admitted and went to sit on the bed. "Where is everyone?" "I don't know. I woke up and found no one here. Maybe they are all in their rooms. They must have spent the whole night trying to treat us." He looked at the clock on the wall and his eyes popped open. It was noon. "You are right, they must have spent the whole night and morning here." He sat back and let out a deep breath, grateful he was alive. He couldn't afford to die when he wasn't done with his mission. He hasn't gotten back at the people who hurt his mother. When he thought about his mother, his heart sk

"Doctor, something is happening to my brother!" Stephanie cried in horror and ran out of Dr Thompson's room. He quickly ran after her, going as fast as his legs could carry. He had left for a few minutes to get a syringe from his room and the next minute, Stephanie ran after him, crying that he had to go check her brother as something was wrong with him. "Allen you better not die," he said inwardly and entered the room. It was a cardiac arrest. "Everyone step back," he ordered and ran to the bed. He began to resuscitate him, while Stephanie, Josh, and George watched in horror. "This is all because of me," Josh thought, with his heart racing fast. "You can't die. Please don't die. I won't be able to survive the guilt." "Brother, please. Please don't leave me. I can't stay alone. Please don't go!" Stephanie cried out and rested her hands on her knees. "Please!" She added. The room was filled with tension. Everyone hoped for a miracle but with each passing second, their hope k

"Please, save my brother!" Steph cried out to Doctor Thompson. She looked at her unconscious brother and her heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling about the mission and just as she suspected, he got injured. 'If only I knew, I would have stopped him,' she said inwardly, filled with regret but it was too late. He had lost a lot of blood and was at the point of death. "The two of them are in critical condition right now and I am short of assistance," Dr Thompson muttered and rubbed his neck. "We will assist in every way we can. We are not experienced, but you can tell us what to do," Josh said in determination to do everything he could to make sure Allen and Mary get better. They had risked their lives to make sure he lived, and he wasn't ready to let that go. He owed them his life. "Great. There is an opening and exit in Mary's arms, which means the bullet went out of her the moment it was shot. But for Allen, there is only an opening. He still has the bullet in his sho

Allen looked over his shoulder at the men who were very close to him. He knew it was over and he would be taken to Project Erebus. That would be the end. It would be the end of everything he was fighting for and people who lost their lives to see him safe. He let out a deep breath and shut his eyes, giving up but suddenly, he heard the door unlocked, bringing new bolts of hope to him. "It opened," Ultimate informed and without wasting another minute, he opened the door and ran out. "Hey, wait up!" He heard the agents scream at him. "Get him back here immediately," the order came in next. With Mary on his back, it was hard to run fast as she kept slowing him down because of her weight, and he was slowly losing consciousness for overworking his body. He sighted a car coming but didn't look properly until it pulled over in front of him and he realized it was his car. "Get in!" Josh yelled and without wasting another minute, Allen entered, barely missing the gun fired at him,
