Damson sat in the hospital corridor, lost in thought. He was still trying to process the news about Mia's diagnosis. As he sat there, he heard a soft sobbing sound coming from the person sitting next to him.

He turned took, that's when he noticed the girl. She was sitting with her back to him. He bent his head to see if he could see her face, but he couldn't. She looked really familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen her.

The girl's crying grew louder and Damson felt pity for her. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know if he should.

Just as he was about to leave, a nurse called out. "Miss Maria, you can now check on the patient."

Damson's eyes widened as he turned around, recognising Maria's name. He couldn't believe he hadn't realized it was her earlier. Maria dragged her feet into the hospital room, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Damson followed her, curious about what was going on.

He saw her walk slowly to the bedside of a woman who was hooked up to

    Damson shook his head, frowning. He didn't know what had gotten over Sasha and why she was behaving that way. "Sasha, I don't understand you. I don't know why you're saying all these things. I'm not interested in Mia. If I were, I'd have begged to have her back." "I can see your actions, Damson. You say something, but you mean otherwise. Can you explain what happened on the bench then?" Sasha asked, her eyes narrowed. "Mia should be in jail for what she did. She could have killed me.""Why did you tell them to release her? She didn't deserve any mercy. You just had to look away. It's obvious you still have a soft spot for her." Damson knew Sasha was right, he still had a soft spot for Mia, but that didn't mean he wanted to get back together with her. He didn't see himself dating her after what she had done to him. He was still hurt from their break up and the wound was still fresh. "If you were the one, Sasha, I'd do the same." Damson said, softly. "I wouldn't watch them take you

    Damson narrowed his eyes as he circled around Dr. Kim, his voice cold. "What is the nature of her sickness? What is wrong with Mia?" He demanded. Dr. Kim shook with fear, his eyes darting around the room. "I'm sorry, please forgive me. Please, I had no choice. I was in huge debt, please…" but Damson cut him off, yelling. "That's not the answer I want to hear." He yelled, his face inches from Dr Kim's. I said, "what is wrong with her?" He repeated, his voice low and deadly. He was furious. Dr. Kim gulped, his eyes wide with fear. "She has cancer, she's a cancer patient. I diagnosed her with cancer." "Good, that's the answer I wanted to hear."Damson said, patting his shoulder. "Next question: Does she really have cancer?" Dr. Kim's face turned white and he started sweating profusely. "P-please…I…"he began to say, but Damson flared up again. "Answer my question!" He shouted, slamming his fist on the table. "If I hear you say please again, I promise you, I will not hesitate to cu

    "What!?" Maria whispered. "What do you mean by that? What money is gone? Don't play with me!" "The money is gone, I used it to sort out some important things. I was broke and had no other option." Her sister said, shrugging her shoulders. "That's a joke right? Tell me that's not true. You didn't do that, did you? Tell me you're lying." Maria screamed. Her voice echoed down the hospital corridor. "Bring out the money right now! Tell me you still have the money!" She demanded, tears streaming down her face, but her sister just looked at her, shaking her head, showing she didn't care. "The money is gone, Maria. How many times do you want to repeat myself? You're wasting your time stressing. What we should be talking about right now is when to unplug mum and remove her from life support. She wouldn't be able to live a normal life if she woke up. She's brain dead! So what's the point?" "You're wasting your time if you think she'll ever wake up. Mum is dead and gone! She needs to rest

    "I've been sending my mum's hospital bills to my sister's account, which was a big mistake, only to find out she hasn't been paying. She has been spending it on herself." "I worked really hard for the money, I couldn't go to school, borrowed from loan sharks. I'm just like my father, the only difference is that I don't gamble, but I borrow money and run away. Isn't that funny?" Maria said, laughing loudly, her body shaking. Damson watched her, concerned. "I think you've had enough to drink, Maria. He took away her cup, but Maria just laughed and muttered to herself. She was fully drunk." Damson shook his head as he stared at her. "Oops! I'm late for my part time job." She said, gasping and standing abruptly. Damson held her as she stumbled. "I don't think it's a good idea to go anywhere. You have to go home, you're drunk. Let's go home." He held her hand as he paid for their drinks. After a few minutes of trying to get a taxi, Damson finally found one. They got home and Damson la

    The next day, Sasha packed her bags and headed home, her mind still racing with thoughts of what could be wrong. She had always spoken to her mum and she had always sounded happy, but last night's phone call had been different. Her mum's voice was low and sounded empty and she could tell something was off. She tried to push the thoughts aside and focus on the excitement of seeing her parents. As she unlocked the gate to the house. She called out. "Mum! Dad! I'm home!" She checked the living room, expecting to see her parents waiting for her, but they weren't there. "We're at the dining table." Her mum called out. Sasha smiled and dropped her bag, running to the dining room to hug her mum, who smiled back at her. "Hey, dad." She said, going over to her dad, kissing him on the cheek. "I've missed you guys so much." "We missed you more, pumpkin." Her dad said, smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes. The food on the table looked delicious and her stomach growled with hunger. "The foo

    Sasha sat on the floor, crying uncontrollably. "Why did I have to confess my feelings to Damson yesterday?" She lamented. It was as if fate was playing a cruel joke on her. Why was it the same day she confessed her feelings to Damson was when she heard she was getting married to a man old enough to be her father. The thought of it made her cry harder.Damson called her over and over again, but she ignored his calls. She couldn't just bring herself to have a conversation with him at the moment. When Damson realized she wasn't picking, he sent her a text. "Hey, Sasha, you're probably asleep, but if you don't mind, can we meet tomorrow and talk about what happened yesterday? Sleep tight." Sasha read the messages over and over, each time feeling a fresh wave of sadness wash over her. She couldn't meet Damson, not now. She couldn't face him. She switched off her phone, and threw it aside and dragged herself to bed, curling up into a ball and crying herself to sleep. Damson stood in fr

    "I don't care how you got my address or what right you think you have to be here, but you need to leave right now, if you don't want problems for yourself!" Sasha said, angrily. Damson shook his head. "I'm not leaving Sasha. I'm here to talk about you, about us. You can talk to me about anything. I'm here for you, don't push me away. I know you're not happy."Sasha laughed loudly, a bitter sound. "Here for me? Who do you think you are? You think we have a connection because I said I liked you? Newsflash Damson, I wasn't thinking straight when I said that." "I was feeling sorry for you, that's all. I don't think I can sate or like someone with no prospect or future. We can never be together." "I only started talking to you out of pity. You have no friends and you have a very sad life. I was just doing you a favor. Don't tell me you've gotten attached" She continued, folding her arms. Damson's face fell, but he refused to believe her words. "That's not true, Sasha. I know you're lyi

    Damson left Sasha's house angrily. He was hurt by her words but he decided to overlook it as he had an important task at hand. He was glad to find out the name of the useless man that wants to marry Sasha and he will do anything to make sure the marriage doesn't hold. He couldn't imagine her spending the rest of her life unhappy. He could see the sadness in her eyes and it made his heart ache. His mind went to the things she said to him and he wished she never opened her mouth to say such things. He expected her to be the last person to utter such words. In the end, She wasn't so different from everyone else. He was disappointed, angry and hurt. He shook his head, trying not to think about it. He brought out his phone to call Luis. "Hello, young master." Luis greeted. "Have you heard of Mr Baron with the company name Baron industries?" He asked, going straight to the point. "Yes, young master. I know him." Luis replied. "Does he have any attachment to the company? Is he a partn

    They got to the wedding location and they walked towards the building. They got to the entrance only to realize that someone was telling people to return back home. Damson was wondering why and what was going on.People stood in batches, whispering to themselves as they all talked about what happened but Damson didn't understand what they were saying. He walked forward to meet the person that was sending people back and asked him what was happening. "The issue right now is that the family of the bride just realized that her husband paid fake money to us as her bride price. This is such a disgrace to us and because of that this wedding won't hold anymore!""Viktor thinks he can outsmart us and make us look like fools? That is very wrong! He thinks because we are illiterates and didn't go to school he can play on our intelligence? He is very wrong." "We're no longer giving him a chance to get married to our family!

    Days passed by in a blur and Damson was starting to get used to living in the Wilson's house. Laura's cousin still made things difficult for him while Mrs Wilson was always oblivious to things happening around her.Laura's cousin used her as her puppet to make life unbearable for Damson but she wasn't smart enough to even realize that. She was really that oblivious. Things became very awkward between Damson and Laura after what happened to her in her professor's office. After she had told Damson to follow her to the student union building to report the professor, she went back to grab her bag from the sculpture room. She had told Damson to leave her alone and go but he didn't. She was injured and he just couldn't leave her alone. They were walking home together when all of a sudden, she sat on the floor and started to cry. Everything that happened and the pain she was feeling from her entire body was too much that she started to cry. It took Damson by surprise and after watching he

    Laura looked at the professor to see his eyes widen with shock and surprise. She wasted no time and decided to run for the door but luck wasn't on her side. The professor was faster than her and pulled her to the floor with her hair."You bitch!" He snarled as he sat on top of her. "You think you can try to escape from me? Never! Not under my watch" Laura screamed in fear as she saw the look on the professor's face. He looked so feral and scary. "Somebody help me. Please help me!" She screamed out loudly. The professor hit her mouth to keep her from shouting but she fought back and continued to scream.She couldn't scream before because even if she had, nobody would be able to save her because the door was already locked automatically from inside. She had been saving her strength from when she would need it. The professor had forgotten that she had actually opened the door and anybody could walk in. He was focused mainly on the fact that he had caught her and could have her to hims

    "Just as I said earlier, I never do this without consent from the other party. I always told the girls to go and think about it before I decide to have sex with them. I'm a man of principles and my girls know that." "Both parties would enjoy themselves and in the end, we get what we wanted. They get really good grades while I get my own satisfaction. It's a win-win situation." "I have had my eyes on you for some time now but you've been that little miss perfect. You also seemed to think that you'll never be at my mercy but look at you now, shaking and whimpering. Why did you have to start what you couldn't finish?" "I am so going to deal with you and ruin you beyond recognition, just like I did for the phone. You will not be able to tell anyone about it because you will be traumatized. You will end up regretting why you didn't just agree to the options that I had laid out for you." The professor said unbuttoning his shirt. Laura's eyes widened as she realized what the professor w

    “You need to open the door and let me leave immediately." Laura replied, fear evident in her eyes. She didn't know how the professor was able to lock the door automatically and she didn't see it coming.The professor walked up to her and backed her up against the wall. "I was going to let you leave with your two legs out of my office but it's not looking like it anymore. I gave you a chance to make a decision without forcing you but all I got in return was a recording from you. You even went as far as threatening me and saying that you will testify against me." "You shouldn't have said those things to me when you're still in my den! You should have just walked out and not say anything and I wouldn't have known that you recorded me but you just proved that you're not so smart." "It didn't have to end this way but you asked for it. Now hand over your phone to me right now!" The professor barked and Laura shook her head. "No, I'm not giving you my phone.

I waited for the day when you'll need my help and you'll walk with yiur two legs into my office.""You see, you couldn't fall into my trap because you took my course seriously and there was never a chance to fail you but right now, you have messed up. You don't have my attendance and my assignment , so what are you going to do now?" He asked, rubbing her arms. "Please sir, stop this." Laura muttered, clenching her fist together. She was disgusted and irritated by the professor's behavior but she knew better than to lash out at him if she didn't want to be in more trouble. The professor chuckled, raising his hands up. "Okay, fine. The ball is in your court. What would your choice be? You can easily just walk out of here if you want, i won't stop you but the problem is, you will have to fail my course." "If you do as I just say, inside this room with nobody finding out, you'll

    “What type of hate do you have towards me and my family that you had to play such an expensive joke." Damson listened to what Laura had to say and he was able to put two and two together. She had no idea about what her father was doing. Of course, no one knew who he was. In his school, nobody knows that he's the president of Stellarcorp but even after she found out about that, her dad was supposed to explain to her that it wasn't true and that he was just hiding his true self from others but he didn't. He also didn't think that Laura knew about the fact that he had to sign some documents concerning the marriage with him. She's just a pawn that her father is using. She wasn't genuinely interested in the marriage after finding out from his school that he was nothing but her father didn't listen to her."I know that you'll have nothing to say because you have been caught in the act. If not for the fact that my father is already obsessed with this whole thing and I really don't have an

    "I don't understand you. What do you mean by the sculpture is broken?" Damson asked, confusion etched on his face. CAre you seriously trying to play dumb? This sculpture wasn't like this when I saw it this morning. It was intact! There was nothing wrong with it but all of a sudden it's broken. How do you explain that? What did you do?" Laura asked again, yelling. "Hey, you seriously need to calm down because I have no idea about what you're talking about. This sculpture was given to me this morning by your mum and all I did was just put it in my bag. I really don't know how it was broken." Damson explained. "Oh, so now you're trying to tell me that my mum was the one that broke it? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" Damson let out a sigh. "No, I'm not saying that. I didn't even check it when it was given to me. Who knows if there had been an issue with it before then but one thing I know for sure is that I didn't break it." "Your mum said it was quite important to you so wh

    Mrs Wilson was about to call a maid to quickly get the sculpture to Laura's school but she stopped her and told her to send Damson instead. That he should be able to do things like this. If there weren't any maids around, he would have to go. She also reminded her not to forget that they were married. Mrs Wilson agreed to her idea and that's how she ended up telling Damson to take the sculpture to her school. Damson called Viktor and told him to come and pick him up because he still wasn't familiar with the roads that led to the school from the Wilson's house. He used his phone and waited till Viktor arrived. Then he told him to drive him to his school. He had totally forgotten about Laura's sculpture that was in his bag. He didn't remember that he had to drop it off for her. Damson got to his school and sorted out his courses. He also spent time with his roommates after because they went together from office to office to do it together. Back in Laura's school. It was time for
