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. She held her chest and cried, "That hurt,""Doctor, nothing s

Regina fixed her gaze on the wall, lost in thought. She knew she was going to die as there was no way to get her treated.She overheard the doctor talking about her sickness being critical and rare. There was no solution to it.Tears rolled down her eyes but she was too weak to wipe it off. Bianca hadn't checked up on her, and she knew she was probably crying her eyes out somewhere.'This is how my end would be?' she wondered as more tears flowed down her eyes.The door was opened slowly and Bianca peeped in. Seeing she was awake, she slowly walked in with a smile which Regina knew was fake, and shut the door behind her."How are you doing now?" She questioned and walked closer. "The doctor said you will be discharged soon. He prescribed some medicines and said you will be alright. He finally found a solution to it," she lied and that made Regina smirk."You don't have to lie, sis. I know I am dying," she answered, trying to act nonchalant. "I overheard the doctor speaking to a nurse

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,
