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
Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 92
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
Damian Williams: Rise Of the Son In Law Sudden Wealth 93
Damian and Bianca found themselves in Regina’s hospital room. The tension in the air was palpable, but neither of them wanted to leave the other’s side. Damian stood by the monitors, adjusting a few settings, while Bianca sat in the corner, her hands folded tightly in her lap.“How’s she doing?” Bianca asked softly, her eyes flickering to her sister’s pale face.“She’s stable for now,” Damian replied, his tone professional. “But her condition is still critical. If the treatment I’m testing doesn’t work, we’ll need to consider more drastic measures.”Bianca bit her lip, her gaze dropping to her hands. “I never thought I’d see her like this. Regina’s always been so... untouchable. Seeing her vulnerable like this... it’s hard.”Damian walked over, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “She’s strong, Bianca. She’ll fight through this. And I’ll do everything in my power to help her.”She looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Damian. For everything. I know Regin

Regina looked at Damien with a frown on his face. "How did I get here?" She questioned with disbelief lacing her voice. She averted her gaze to Bianca and clenched her jaw. "Did you bring me here? I thought I made it clear that I don't want to have anything to do with Damien William?"Bianca frowned and stood up, "What are you talking about, Regina? What is wrong with you?""Why did you bring me here?" She raised her voice, with annoyance resonating from her tone. Bianca rubbed her neck in frustration. Regina hasn't changed even after experiencing a life-threatening sickness. "You came in here yourself. I was called by Damien who told me you were here. Have you forgotten all these?""Liar!" Regina accused. "Why would I come to the hospital I hate so much to be treated by the man I don't want to see at all?"Bianca rolled her eyes and sat down. "What's your problem, Regina? Right after you wake up, you are about to bring this hospital down." She let out a deep breath and looked at he

She walked closer and covered a large space between them. She examined him from head to toe and smirked. "Not bad. You changed a lot and I almost did not recognize you. You disappeared after receiving so much help from my grandfather, just to enjoy it all," she accused.Damien drew his brows. He tried to take a step closer but she held up her hand and stopped him. "Don't come closer!"Damien became confused and tried to find out what was going on as she looked so pissed off. He tried going closer but with each step he took, she stepped back. She suddenly laughed out, pointing at his face. "I got you so good. See how confused you look.""I am confused," he said, and she let out a deep breath and walked closer. "I was only playing a prank on you to pretend to be angry but not really. It's so good you fell," she jumped and clapped her hands like a little child who got the snacks she always wanted. He laughed and shook his head, understanding what the prank was about. "Anyway, what a

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,
