Damien eyes popped open upon hearing what the man said. He brought the phone to his face to see the number before he took it back to his ear. "Dr Ahmed?" He remembered nothing about sending a message to him. "Yes. I got an email sent from you around 2 am, but I saw the email this morning," he answered, clearing Damien's confusion. "Why don't we meet to talk more about this? I am staying in the countryside. Retired last year and decided to start a new life in Middle-field. You should also consider it. This place is a lot more peaceful and quiet than you can ever imagine," he suggested. "It must be great," Damien answered, keeping his voice calm. "I will meet you in the countryside this evening."The old man agreed and hung up. Immediately he did, Damien looked at Bianca to ask about it but she was asleep. For someone who was claiming to be strong enough to remain awake, she fell asleep faster than he thought. He let out a deep breath and faced his computer. He logged into his emai

Damien drove down the road, heading to the countryside with Bianca sitting in the passenger's seat. He kept stealing glances at her and even though she noticed, she ignored him.She surprisingly knew the doctor and the countryside where he was. According to her, she had a bad history with him. Damien knew she regretted sending an email to him, as she would have done otherwise if she knew who he was.Following the map, he took the next forget wrongly and almost drove into a ditch. He stepped on the brake at the last minute. He quickly looked at Bianca and noticed how scared she was. "I am sorry. I took the turn wrongly," he apologized.Bianca placed her hand on her chest trying to calm her racing heart. She looked at him and noticed how calm he was even though they almost had a fatal accident. "I don't think this is the right turn," Damien said looking around. The road was surrounded by thick trees. Bianca looked around and shook her head. "This is not the road. We need to go left

Dr Ahmed stared at her for a few minutes before he looked away and cleared his throat. "You never told me you were coming with someone."Damien glanced at Bianca, noticing the frown on her face before he averted his gaze back to him. "She knows the area more than I do. Besides, she is an important person in this," he answered. Dr Ahmed sighed audibly and led the way to the table he had reserved. "This is the best restaurant in this area. You will love the food here and probably fall in love with this place because of it."Damien sat down and Bianca sat beside him, trying to calm herself and be composed. "I moved here last year and so far, there is not a reason to regret being here. The people are nice, the food is good, the view is great and relaxing," he further added which got Damien wondering if he wanted him to retire there by all means. "Well, I can't say much about that yet until I see it. From the report I got as a kid, Middle-field was a dangerous place," Damien answered a

Damien and Bianca stared at him in a daze, in awe of how quickly he had forgotten the research and his text message.Ahmed on his part was impatiently waiting for the waitress to bring in his order.Bianca slammed her hand on the table, bringing everybody's attention to her. She abruptly stood up and pointed a finger at him."What are you up to, huh? You are pretending not to know the reason why we are here?" She questioned, raising her voice.Damien held her hand to get her attention, but she pulled her hand away from his, with her attention focused on the doctor."Do you think you will get away with this?" She questioned and smirked. "Sorry to burst your bubbles, but you will have to pay your debts alone. It is an amount we can afford, but we will be cheeky enough not to."She picked up her purse and looked at Damien. "Let's go," she ordered.Damien was perplexed seeing how pissed off she was. He was pissed off too, but she was a different person.He smirked and stood up, to follow

Ahmed nodded and sat back. "It's easy to figure it out. Bianca never cared about anyone except herself and her family. For her to be here and eager to hear me, a family member caught the flu," he answered. "But why did you think it's Regina?" Damien questioned, curious to know how he easily figured it out."She looks worried. Regina is the most cared-for family. She would have lost her patient and left if it were her parents." He answered and looked at her. "I know her so well."Bianca pursed her lips, in surprise that he figured it out easily. Ahmed went on, "I will write down the medications for it which needs to be followed precisely. A day should never be missed. She will get better as long as it hasn't gotten to the fourth stage.""She is at the third stage," Damien answered, to which Ahmed nodded. "Then she needs to get treated before it's too late. This stage is treatable with surgery and treatments."Damien drew his brows and when he thought of something, he snapped his fing

They both stared at each other reminiscing the sweet moments between them. The sweet moments they had forgotten. Realizing they were staring too much, Damien cleared his throat and looked away while Bianca lowered her gaze. "It is late. You should rest. I will be going back to my apartment," he said to her and she quickly nodded. "Drive safely," she said and rushed in. Damien stared at the closed door and curled up the corners of his lips. "I guess this would be a new chapter," he whispered and walked away, going back to his office to get ready for his apartment.He drove back to his apartment and in no time, he fell asleep. …Damien glanced at his wristwatch for the tenth time since he came to the hospital, and he groaned. He walked into his office and grabbed his white coat before he hurried out of the room. A doctor who was walking towards his office quickly walked to him with a sigh of relief. "I was coming to your office to check if you were there," he said and started wa

Bianca's heart skipped a beat seeing how serious he was. She sat up and swallowed down lumps in her throat. "Is she… is she gonna die?" She questioned.Damien shook his head to her relief and he answered, "We have to keep hoping she wakes up. The surgery was successful and right now, we will continue with the treatments."Bianca sniffed and drew back. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She swallowed the lump in her throat and lowered her head. "I thought… I thought… you wanted to tell me… about her death," she sniffed. Damien shook his head and faced her, "She survived it. You know your sister, she has always been a fighter."She nodded and lifted her eyes to look at him, "But what problem are you talking about? Did you discover something else? Would she be alright soon?" She questioned at once, with anxiety resonating in her voice. "The problem is that she would be staying in the hospital for a much longer time than intended. Her treatment would be a gradual process," She an

Damien was taken aback by her sudden request. A date? He wanted to ask about it but she suddenly laughed and waved her hand. "I was just joking. I wanted to see the look on your face and you didn't disappoint. You look so shocked," she laughed mockingly. Damien pursed his lips and nodded. He was taken aback and wasn't expecting her to ask for a date. "You did take me by surprise. I wondered if I had heard someone else speak," he answered. She laughed again and when she had a fill, she shook her head. "Anyway, I want to ask for dinner instead. I want to thank you for everything you did for Regina. You have it all, so a gift would just be added to your collections. This is the only appreciative way I can think of."Damien looked at his wristwatch and drew in a deep breath, "I don't think I will be able to make it. My schedule is filled up today. I have missed a lot of meetings and events for the hospital. I need to work on them."Bianca twisted her lips, feeling disappointed and at t

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
