Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 72
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 Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 77
The nurse quickly took a glance at her and answered politely, "The doctor is busy right now. You have to wait or come back tomorrow. He has many patients waiting for him," she went back to typing on her computer.Regina looked back and noticed the people waiting. They were over twenty and that made her frown. She couldn't wait until the last person.She faced the nurse again and said, "But I need to see him now. I am in a critical condition and he is the only one who can help me."The nurse took her gaze away from the computer and looked at her. "Everyone waiting for him always has critical conditions that require urgent treatment. Other doctors are available to attend to you.""They can't treat me.""Ma'am, Dr Damien is busy. You either wait or you let other doctors treat you," she laid out the options for her and went back to typing on her computer.Regina let out a deep breath and thought of what to do. An idea came to her and she faced the Nurse again."Can you please tell him Reg
Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 78
The nurses hurried to Damien who held Regina. He looked at her and noticed how thin and pale she had become.Her illness had become critical and he blamed himself for not informing them about it earlier."Take her to a room on the third floor," he instructed and they laid her on the stretcher and wheeled it to the elevator."Sir, what should we do about her? Should I inform her family to come take her out?" Eric questioned, staring at his boss in curiosity.Damien let out a deep breath and put his hands in his pockets. "Her condition is critical and if not treated immediately, she won't survive it," he answered dryly.Eric drew his brows together and walked closer to him. "Are you trying to attend to her?" He questioned in awe. "Even after what she did to destroy this hospital and your career too? She hates this hospital and has done a lot of things."Damien

A few hours ago…Bianca hurried out of Regina's ward, which she regretted later. She should have stayed or rather, locked the door, she had thought.She got to Dr Ethan's office and asked for help but as usual, he revealed that her sister's case had no solution. She was going to die.It suddenly felt as if she died too and was left as an empty shell.She went back to the room and opened the door to her worst nightmare. Regina was nowhere to be found. She searched the restroom, searched the waiting room, she frantically searched everywhere but couldn't find her."Regina please," She cried, looking at every ward but she was in none."We should check the CCTV," Dr Ethan, who helped to search for Regina, suggested.Without saying a word, she hurried to the security control room, and the footage of the hour she left played out. She pray

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
