"You really think you have a say here?" Maria chuckled. "All you keep doing is showing signs that you're really involved in what happened. Your hands aren't clean.""I don't care what you think, but I'm not going anywhere. The next line of action is to find a way to figure out mum's funeral, not this rubbish you're doing. Mum was already as good as dead before and what happened was for the best." Maria's sister said, smiling smugly. "While you go ahead to figure out who had done this, I'll ask the nurses about the charity organization, to see if they can pay for the cremation and all the necessary payments. They should be able to do that, don't you think?"Maria clenched her fist tightly, trying to control her anger. She was angry her sister was not bothered about everything which made her want to know who had unplugged the machines more. She would make sure she faces the consequences of her actions. Her sister already proved that she didn't care about family, and she would also sho
Damson watched as Luis entered the study confidently, like he did nothing wrong and had nothing to be afraid of. "He might not have done anything wrong." Damson thought to himself. If he had, he wouldn't walk in here like he's innocent and he won't also be able to look me in the eyes." "Hm, Luis. What are you hiding from me?" Damson wondered as he looked at him. "You called for me, young master." Luis said, clearing his throat. "I have a lot to do at the office, but I rushed down there as soon as I got your call. Hope everything is okay?" "Yes, Luis. Everything is fine. I know you've been busy and I'm sorry for calling you down here, suddenly." "How long have you worked for my father?" Damson asked, folding his hands. "Was it before I was born, or after?" "I've been loyal to your father ever since he became the heir to Stellarcorp, which was around the same time he got married to your mum, so yes, it was before you were born, young master." Luis replied. "So, you're saying t
"May I ask why you want to know, young master?" Luis asked, rubbing his neck nervously. He knew something was wrong right from when Damson had asked when he started working for his father. It wasn't like Damson to ask questions concerning him. He doesn't even care. "I need to know why you were in the hospital, Luis." Damson said again, glaring at him. "I'm asking the questions here, not you and I need answers." "There are some things I'd like to keep private, young master but I promise you, I wasn't in the hospital for any bad thing. If you think I had a hand in Maria's mum's death, I'm afraid you're wrong." "When you asked me to pay for her treatment, I didn't even see her, I didn't enter her room. Walking past her room on Thursday was just a coincidence and to be honest I didn't know she was in there."Damson chuckled. "I'm not asking you for stories or explanations, Luis. All I want is just a simple and straightforward answer. You're making all of this complicated. We're both b
Austin was more of a brother to Damson, he saw him as someone he could tell anything and everything. He knew how much Damson struggled after he left the orphanage and how hard he worked to get into the university. Things were different for Austin. He found loving parents who took him in and took care of him. He didn't struggle or have to live from hand to mouth, his Foster parents were comfortable enough. When Damson found out life was much easier for Austin, he got jealous and wished he could be in his position, but it didn't last. He accepted his fate to be a poor, miserable and unlucky person and was happy for his friend. They continued to communicate with each other when they both got to separate universities but it was always hard because Damson was always unavailable. He was busy juggling different part time jobs and couldn't return most of Austin calls, but Austin understood. When Damson started dating Mia, Austin was the first person he told. He was so excited and was gri
Mia's parents didn't take it lightly with her after they found out she lied about her diagnosis, her father was disappointed in her and hadn't spoken to her since then. He also blocked her cards, so she could learn a lesson. Mia was furious with Damson and thought of ways she could get back at him but she came up with nothing. She wasn't satisfied and really wanted to bring Damson down for what he did. She lost a lot trying to get the doctor to give her a fake diagnosis and Damson ruined it. He wasn't going to go scott free. She didn't disappear because she was ashamed of what she did at the hospital, but instead, she decided to take some steps herself. She started to stalk Damson, she was desperate to find something to use against him. What she wants is for him to suffer and she'd do anything to make sure it happened. She could have easily paid private investigators to keep tabs on him, but she had no money to pay them, thanks to Damson. She started to follow him around, and on
Mia smiled but quickly composed herself, looking sad. I'm here, Damson. She said softly, her eyes tearing up. "I'm such a good actor." She thought to herself. "I knew you'd come for me. You've thought about everything we've passed through and you're here to reconcile with me. I'm sorry for everything I've done and I mean it." Damson glared at her, breathing heavily. "Save all of that, Mia. If you think we're getting back together, you're dreaming. We're done and can never get back together. I hope I'm clear with you?" Mia was shocked at Damson's words, but she covered up the shock with more tears. She didn't expect him to run out to reject her again but she wasn't going to back down. "I love you, Damson. Can't you see that? I'm very sorry for everything, I did everything so I could have you back. I promise you, I've changed. Let's forget about the past and get back together." Damson scoffed. "Forget the past? Mia, you really think what you did can be forgotten? You cheated on me
"A student of our school? That's impossible." Damson scoffed, not believing Caleb's words. "I don't think you know what you're talking about." "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to sayv I don't deserve to be a student here or I'm too poor to afford the school fee. I don't understand what you mean by impossible. You already think I don't deserve to be a student? How dare you?" Maria chuckled dryly. "No, no. Relax. That's not what I meant, I'm just surprised. You never mentioned this to me and I didn't know you were processing your admission. When did all of this happen? It's something you should have told me about and it doesn't look like it's meant to be a surprise." Damson explained."You're asking to know too much, Damson." Caleb said, crossing his arms."Does she have to tell you about everything going on with her. What exactly are you trying to play out here. Don't you think all these questions are unnecessary. Why exactly are you always around? You haven't stopped stalkin
"How long do we have to wait for?" Laura, Mr Wilson's daughter asked as she typed away from her phone. "I'm tired of waiting and I need want to go home. It's been hours." "Just wait a little longer, Laura, Damson is on his way." Mr Wilson said, sternly. "Have you forgotten how long it took for me to have dinner with me? We don't have a choice here.""She has a point, darling." Mrs Wilson said, shaking her head. "We've been here for two hours and he hasn't shown up, what if he doesn't and we're just wasting our time? You've informed Luis that we've been around for a while, so it's not like he doesn't know we're waiting for him. I have a party to attend and I can't be late." "Enough!" Mr Wilson snarled. "Damson is someone important and if you don't know that yet, it's better you do now. His father was my friend and I know how much I benefited from being friends with him. I'm about to continue that by meeting his son." Logan, Mr Wilson's son, scoffed. "I don't think this so called Dam
