Nicholas sat behind his desk in his office at Hemsworth Global Company, having successfully removed all news related to his bad breakup with Jessica and his affair with her cousin. It had required hefty payments to various media outlets. Now, Nicholas recognized he had one more task ahead.

Tomorrow, during his grandmother's birthday ceremony, he would be announced as the heir of Hemsworth Global Company. The thought alone filled Nicholas's heart with immense joy, but a problem loomed.

Earlier in the day, during a meeting with shareholders, they concluded that merely removing the news from the media wasn't sufficient. They instructed Nicholas to issue an official statement stating that he had ended things with Jessica, emphasizing that it was entirely her decision.

    Jessica glanced down at her attire in surprise. While she recognized it might not be the most luxurious choice for the grand party they were about to attend, she considered it reasonably presentable.

    Justin surveyed the security personnel stationed at the door. Most of their faces were unfamiliar to him, as he wasn't acquainted with every security guard working for the company. He recognized only a handful, including the head of security and a few exceptional individuals who had been mentioned to him previously."I must get inside now," Justin reiterated, attempting to maintain as much composure as possible.The two security personnel outside exchanged glances and then directed their attention back to Justin. One of them asserted, "We were explicit when we stated that entry is restricted without an invitation card, please step aside, sir," issuing a command.Jessica observed the unfolding situation in astonishment. Didn't these men recognize Justin? Were they oblivious to the fact that they could lose their jobs in an instant due to his influence?Kelvin intervened angrily as one of the men attempted to shove Justin aside."What's wrong with you?

    Sonia's heart leapt into her stomach. She alone comprehended the significance of Justin's revelation, aware of the person to whom he was referring. Justin's confirmation to Old Mrs. Hemsworth that he was indeed married indicated that Jessica hadn't been exaggerating when she claimed they were married. Sonia glanced at Nicholas, wondering what his reaction would be when he witnesses Jessica being introduced as Justin's wife.In response to his grandmother's wish, Justin waved towards the back of the hall, signaling for Jessica to come closer.Upon seeing Justin's gesture, Kelvin quickly alerted Jessica, who was standing beside herself with fear."Ms. Jessica, it's your cue; the boss just waved," Kelvin said, giving her a gentle nudge.

This was his opportunity, and he promised himself to make the most of it.Rising from the bed, his gaze fixed on Jessica, Nicholas's hand was cuffed to the bed, limiting his movement.

    Mr. Hemsworth arrived at the hospital with his mother and wife an hour later and stormed in the direction of Nicholas' ward. He had informed the hospital earlier that day to update him once his son woke up. The hospital was heavily guarded, as two sons of the most powerful and influential man in London, whose lives were still in imminent danger, were in different wards.For all Mr. Hemsworth knew, the culprit who had shot his second son was still at large. Until apprehended, Nicholas and even Justin were not safe. Who knows, the person trying to kill Nicholas might be attempting to cover up a dark past. Justin had mentioned that Nicholas was working with a cult.

    The doctor suddenly remembered he had given the nurse a task earlier and asked her to inform him as soon as it was completed. That had to be what she had come to tell him about.He corked a brow up and asked curiously, "Are the test results out?" Laura nodded in response to his question. She wore a grave expression on her face, which was really unsettling to Mr. Hemsworth, who was clueless about what was going on."What test results? Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on here?" he snapped in frustration.The doctor immediately felt the need to explain before things escalated any further. "I am sorry, Mr. Hemsworth, for keeping you in the dark. The thing is, in this hospital, it is standard procedure to conduct a full check-up on our patients to ensure they are medically fit," he exchanged glances with the nurse and continued, "we ran some tests on Nicholas, and it appears the results are out," he concluded.Mr. Hemsworth was a little tense. The girl's reaction hinted t

    Mr. Hemsworth stormed into the hospital an hour later with his bodyguards, looking as ferocious and angry as ever. No one dared to stop him; just the sight of him alone was very intimidating. The security stationed at the entrance had to make way for him after seeing how he had been greeted by the policemen. They already knew who he was; if the police, sent to protect the hospital, had allowed him to gain entrance at this crucial time when security was heightened, then they felt they had no choice but to do the same.Nicholas had been brought to the hospital in his disguised state, so the security men had no clue who the person being protected in the ward was. The hospital kept his identity a secret, and only people who had the right to know due to a role they had to play were informed. Seeing Mr. Hemsworth storm in, the security men gave each other a knowing look; whoever was being protected must be related to him in some way.Once inside, Mr. Hemsworth stood still as his ferociou

    The man who had accidentally knocked Nicholas down immediately alighted from his car. Upon reaching where Nicholas lay in a pool of his blood, being washed away by the soft patter of rain falling, he gasped in shock but immediately recollected himself. "Is he dead?" he thought in fright as he fell to his knees beside Nicholas."Hello? Hello?" he said as he shoved Nicholas lightly.No response!"Oh my God! What have I done?" the man cried in fear. His heart was thumping heavily against his chest. With trembling hands, he brought out his phone and dialed 999, London's emergency contact."I knocked down a man; he needs help!" he cried as soon as the call connected, staring down nervously at Nicholas.The road was a lonely one. He contemplated carrying Nicholas into his car and taking him to a nearby hospital. He glanced at Nicholas' unconscious body again, and a thought crossed his mind, one that chilled him to the bone, causing his jaw to drop as his eyes widened."What if he is dead?

    As soon as Jessica turned, a slight frown etched her face. Standing behind her was Dr. Martins, the same man she had heard from Nicholas, accused her of having a hand in the attack on her husband.When Dr. Martins found out few days ago, just like everyone else, that Jessica was Dr. Alexandra, he was absolutely gobsmacked. He wondered how that could be and thought back to the day Jessica was acting a little nonchalant in his office, realizing it was because she already had a solution to her husband's predicament.He had been scared to approach her due to the way he had treated her in the past—all the snide and sarcastic remarks he made in her presence hadn't gone unnoticed.

    Sonia was petrified, visibly shaken. Just who is this man, she wondered? The seconds it took for the man to respond felt like a million years to her. Her heart kept thumping against her ribcage."Who am I?" the man asked mockingly as he snorted a laugh. Sonia's eyes widened.Hearing the man speak again intensified her fear. She knew she had heard that voice before, but to whom did it belong?She cried pleadingly, "Please don't hurt me. Whoever you are, please don't harm me.""Hahaha, you should have thought of that when you decided not to keep to your own end of the bargain. Now move, slowly," he snapped angrily, pointing the gun more aggressively towards her as he motioned for her to go in the direction he wanted.That was when it hit her!"Is it you? What are you...wait, how did you know where I live?" she asked, trying to mask her fear."How the tables have turned. It wasn't difficult to find you at all.
