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

Regina examined him from head to toe and scrunched her nose. "No matter what you do, you can never deceive me with this act of yours posing to be a doctor when you are nothing.""Regina, I have an important place to go right now and I don't have all night for this. So if you will excuse me, can you leave my way," he said and she laughed out loud."Your way? I can stand anywhere I want to in this pharmacy. It doesn't belong to you, so you should leave my way."Damien rolled his tongue and decided to move instead. She wasn't going to and would rather cause a scene.He took a step forward but she took a step closer and he bumped into her. She screamed out, attracting attention to them."Are you trying to assault me publicly?" She questioned, and looked at the people gathered. "Are you all videoing this? He tried to assault me!""Regina, you are the one causing a scene for yourself. It was so obvious you stood in my way," he said and drew back. "Stop trying so hard to bring me that. I let

Damien drew his lips into a thin line, thinking about what could have brought Mr Benson to his hospital as they never talked about it neither did he inform him of his sudden arrival.He entered the hospital and went up to his office on the last floor. He pushed the door open and went in.Mr. Benson and the other guest were both waiting patiently and when they saw him, their faces lightened up."I apologize for keeping you waiting," he said immediately he shut the door behind him."You don't have to. We came unannounced," Mr. Benson answered and pointed, "This is Mr. Wilson, a business partner of mine. He told me he heard a lot about the Williams Hospital and he has been dying to see the young man behind its success," he introduced and Mr Wilson nodded in agreement."Hearing about you from people piqued my curiosity. I wanted to meet you but didn't know how. Thanks to my friend who told me he knew you," he added to what Mr Benson said. "It is my pleasure to meet you."Damien tensed mus

Bianca and her mother stared at Regina in awe. Even though she was sick, she still hated Damien so much.Mrs Calloway drew her brows and stepped forward. "We have heard so many people talk about him and how he was able to treat them. He might know what is wrong with you," she pointed out but Regina scoffed and rested back against the bedstead."I would rather be dead than let him treat me. Besides, Dr Ben might be the dumb one here," she responded with spite lacing her voice. "I will meet other doctors. One of them would have an idea. But it wouldn't be Damien," she added and laid back on the bed."Alright, I will get your father to fix an appointment with as many doctors as we can," Mrs Calloway answered, respecting her decision. "I want you to get back to your feet as soon as possible and I don't mind using up everything I have."Regina clenched the sheet tight and shut her eyes. What if the doctors can't diagnose what is wrong with me? She wondered and her heart thumped at the thou

Damien drew his brows together and was about to speak, but got interrupted when his phone rang. He ignored her and picked it up."Sir, your attention is needed at the hospital," the doctor said, and Damien sighed deeply.He had just returned from a trip and he got an emergency call. He looked at Mrs Calloway who was waiting patiently and answered, "I will be there as soon as possible."No matter how tired he was, he preferred attending to a patient than speaking to her.He left his unfinished food and stood up. "I have someone important to meet right now," he said and she sighed in disappointment."Why don't we meet some other time?"He clicked his tongue and looked at his wristwatch, "I am a busy man. I can't guarantee a free day. If we meet again, then it's by chance. Right now, I need to leave," he answered and walked away, grateful she wasn't anywhere near him any longer.He walked back to his car and Eric raised a brow. "Are you done eating so quickly?""My mealtime got interrupt

Mrs Calloway laughed cheekily and walked in completely. She went on to say, "I wanted to get him to come here and treat Regina, let's see how good he is as everyone claims.""Never call that name here. There is no way I am letting Damien treat me. Get that over with, mother!" She snapped, causing Mrs. Calloway to roll her eyes."Why are you being stubborn, Regina?""We have other good doctors. Damien is not the only one, besides, I have two doctors that would be attending to me," she answered and laid back on the bed, ignoring her mother.Mrs Calloway rolled her eyes, seeing how stubborn she was. She let out a deep breath and glanced at Bianca, who wasn't saying a word. Giving up, she walked out of the room.Bianca let out a deep breath and checked her phone. "The doctor is here," she announced and walked out of the room to go lead her in.In less than five minutes, they were back in the room."That's her," Bianca muttered, pointing at Regina. "This has been going on for weeks and we

Damien hurried out and checked the girl's pulse. He breathed in relief and started performing CPR. "Call the ambulance," he instructed and Eric immediately did as he was told.The girl finally jerked back to life and began to cry."Thank goodness," Damien muttered as relief seeped through him. He held the scared girl's hand and assured her, "You will be alright."The girl didn't stop crying until the ambulance came. After explaining what had happened to her, she was wheeled in."I will go with them, sir. The driver will take you to your apartment," Eric said and entered the van with her.Damien watched as they drove away and when it was out of sight, the driver walked to him."Sir, we need to leave. This road is dangerous at night," he said and Damien nodded.He looked towards the direction of the van again before he went to his car and left.…Regina coughed out and she shut her eyes immediately as pain seeped through her.

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
