“What are you doing?” Harriett looked at Damien suspiciously as she entered the hospital room. Eric had been in for so long that she was starting to feel uneasy so, she decided to check in on them. When walked in, she saw Damien trying to get off the bed while Eric was trying to remove the IV from his hand. As soon as both men saw her, they immediately paused, both looking like children who had been caught stealing ice cream from the fridge.

“Harriett..” Damien spoke up, his voice cracking as he wondered if she had heard their conversation. He accessed her face just to be sure and from the look on it, he concluded that she didn't.

“Do not ‘ Harriett ’ me. What do the both of you grown men think you are doing?” She walked up to the both of them with her hands on her waist like she was their parent.

“Well… I was just checking this cool thing out.. I have no idea what he was doing.” Eric immediately defended, throwing his hands up in the air. Damien turned to his friend and raised a brow,

    “Have you finally gone mad, Beth?” Her partner asked with his brows creased. “Why would Tony ever think of supporting you? You kidnapped his lover, remember? The man probably wants to kill you.” He said but Evelyn shook her head. “He hates me, that’s for sure. But, he hates the idea of not being with Harriet more.” She smirked evilly. “The man is in love with Harriet and will do anything to be with her. That, my love is what I plan on using.” She said and things were finally starting to make sense to him. “Don’t tell me your plan is to-” “You’re finally thinking!” She patted his head and let out a loud laughter. “My plan is pretty simple. He wants Harriett, I want Damien… his wealth and name to be precise but, you know what I mean. We both want the same thing so why not team up and get what we both want. It might take some time but, I’m sure he’ll come around.” She finished up with a kiss on his lips and danced happily to her room. Little did she know that Tony was the same man

    “You have no say in this, Damien. You’re staying with us until you’re fully recovered and that’s final.” Stacy said. The doctors had discharged Damien from the hospital, although he still had a bandage wrapped around his chest because of his wound. No matter how much Harriett wanted him to stay until his wound was full healed, the man wouldn’t listen as his body itched to get back to work. Damien knew that there was no need fighting with his mother on the topic as her mind had already been made up. But, an idea came to his mind. “Fine. I’ll come with you… on one condition.” He said with a corky smile as his eyes drifted to Harriett who was standing by the side. “Harriett spends the weekend with the kids.” He said, secretly crossing his fingers and praying that she would agree. “W-what?” Harriett’s eyes widened and her cheeks reddened. She couldn’t imagine spending the weekend with Damien and his family. It would bring back old memories that she had worked so hard to forget. “I-I

    When Damien heard Harriett say those words at the breakfast table, his heart jumped out of pure excitement. He was happy that she was finally beginning to let go of the past. All he needed now was to get her forgiveness and win her trust. “I thought about what room you’d sleep in and I decided to give you a separate room from the kids. That way, we won’t invade your privacy because we certainly won’t leave our grandkids for a single minute.” Stacy said once they were done with the breakfast. Her first thought was for Harriet and Damien to share a room but her husband, Thomas made her realize that she was moving too fast. Even though the two had children together, they weren’t married and their relationship needed a lot of patching up. “Thank you, Mother. They are your grandchildren. You can spend as much time as you want with them.” She laughed. “Who wants to go out with Daddy today?” Damien asked and little Adrian immediately started jumping happily on his seat, clapping his hands

    “Adrian. I thought you were out of the country.” Harriett smiled awkwardly. She could sense the tension between the brothers and a part of her knew that she was the cause. “I returned an hour ago. I was missing my family.” Adrian replied with a smirk, shifting his gaze to Damien who was staring at him like he wanted nothing more than to pounce on him. “I finally get to meet my namesake. Should I just call you Adrian Junior? You already look so much like me.” Adrian said, going over to Harriett. He stretched his hands out to little Adrian but he hid himself in his mother’s neck instead.He wasn't wrong. Little Adrian did share a resemblance with him but that was only because he was Damien's brother. “He doesn’t know who you are, brother. Don’t push your luck. Also, my son looks nothing like you.” Damien replied with gritted teeth. The air suddenly got thick and the tension between the two brothers was starting to make the environment unbearable for the others present. “Why don’t yo

    “Dad? Mum called. She said there’s an emergency.” Damien said as he entered his father’s study. Thomas Daniels was seated in front of his computer with his glasses on, completely immersed in his work. As Damien announced his presence, he shut his laptop down and faced his son. “Sit, son.” He gestured to the seat that was directly opposite him. “I’m sure you have met your brother already.” Thomas cleared his throat. He didn’t want to ruin the weekend but he needed to update Damien on the recent happening so he could be alert. “Adrian has decided to move to New York, permanently.” Thomas announced and Damien’s jaw ticked in annoyance. “He wants to become CEO for the headquarters which is the same thing as taking ownership of the company.” He revealed and Damien couldn’t hide the shock on his face. Adrian was really crossing his boundaries. “I haven’t given him an answer, if that is what you are worried about. But, I just might. Over the past month, you have been busy with your fami

    “I don’t know you but I’m sure you already know that I don’t like you.” Tony said. He didn’t just hate Evelyn because she was Harriet’s enemy. He got a weird vibe from her and it also felt like he had known her before now but he couldn’t recall where. All he knew was that he didn’t like her. “You don’t even know me, darling. Don’t you think you came to that conclusion a little too fast.” Evelyn chuckled, taking a sip from her wine which she ordered while waiting for Tony. “What do you want, Evelyn?” He asked, leaning back in his seat as he held her in an intense gaze. “I have a proposal for you. One that you’d be foolish to refuse.” Evelyn smiled, batting her false lashes at him. Tony raised his brows in amusement as she wondered what she could possibly have that would make her so confident. “You want Harriett, don’t you?” Evelyn asked and the smirk that was once on Tony’s face vanished as his expression changed to a serious one. “I’d love to see where this is headed.” He adjust

    “You’re angry but it’s not because of me.” Harriet said as soon as Damien returned to his room. He was shocked to see that she was still there after what happened between them an hour ago. He wondered why she waited for him to return. Damien entered his room huffing and puffing in anger after what his conversation with his father. “Go to your room, Harriett.” He walked to his closet, completely ignoring her presence. “I’m sorry but, do you think I came here because I want to spend time with your parents? Do you think I felt it was time to bond with your family so I decided to leave mine and be with yours?” Harriett was not happy with his behavior and she was not going to hide her feelings. “Isn’t that why you’re here?” Damien chuckled dryly from the closet as he took off his clothes and changed into something more comfortable. “Bullshit, Damien.” She got up and walked into the closet, not even bothering that he was changing his clothes. In this case, she would say he used to be

    Harriett was still in her room with Adrian when Stacy announced that dinner was ready. She didn’t realize how much time she had spent with Adrian just talking about the old times. They finally left the room to join the others for dinner. They were still talking and laughing about a joke Adrian made when Damien walked out of his room and saw them. Harriett paused for a few minutes as she stared at him, remembering their encounter earlier while Adrian placed a hand on her shoulder, acting like he didn’t see Damien standing and led her to the dinning table. Damien could only grit his teeth at his brother’s antics. Adrian was only trying to spite him and he knew this but why was he still bothered by him?“I was worried you guys weren’t going to join us. The twins have been waiting.” Stacy laughed as Harriett placed a kiss on her twins.“You should’ve called me to help, mother. You didn’t have to do all of this yourself.” Harriett pouted as she stared at the table which was filled w

    “She is all by herself, boss. This is the perfect time to take her. Give us the order and consider it done.” One of the men said into the phone with his eyes still glued to Lily as she headed back to the hospital on foot.A sigh was heard from the line, a sign of hesitation from Louis and one of the men concluded that Louis wouldn’t be able to give the order since Lily was his ex-girlfriend. So, he gave a sign to the man who was on the call with him, telling him to go ahead with the initial plan regardless of what Louis instructs.“What is your conclusion, boss?” The man asked, hoping Louis would go ahead with the plan but, there was still hesitation from him so, they decided to end the call and kidnap Lily before she was completely out of sight.They left their hiding place and began approaching Lily but just as they were about to get close to her, Tony came out of nowhere and wrapped his hands around her, oblivious to what was about to happen. The men immediately took a U-turn and r

    “Also, the man she is with now is Tony Martinez, the owner of TM Hospital.”At the mention of Tony’s name, a frown appeared on Mehdi’s face as he visibly tensed up. “Tony Martinez?” He asked again to be sure Louis didn’t make a mistake.“Are you sure?”“Yes, Draco. I have seen him in person myself.” Louis replied and Mehdi gritted his teeth in anger.Tony was no stranger to him. He had received a lot of donations from Tony and had even given his donations to Tony’s hospital. He had exchanged pleasantries with him at various events, parties, and award ceremonies so, he knew that Tony was a patriotic citizen who frowned at corruption.If Louis’s girlfriend opens her mouth and reveals his secret to Tony, he is sure he and his gang will be done for.Draco let out a long sigh, his face hardening as he processed the information he had just received. “I know Tony Martinez alright.

    “Martin is back, and he wants you at the hideout immediately. I think Drogo heard about the shootout you ordered.” Louis’s throat went dry, and he felt his heart jump out of his chest as he listened to the last part. He wasn’t as brave as he was when he ordered the shootout before getting confirmation from Martin, who was his superior. “H-how the fuck did that happen? Did anyone snitch?” He asked in an unstable voice. “No one needed to, man. It’s all over the news and everyone knows that you and Martin control this district. If Martin didn’t order the shootout, it means you did. It’s quite obvious.” The man over the phone replied. “Shit!” he exclaimed. “Come quickly. Drogo is angry.” The man said, and ended the call, leaving Louis to wallow in fear. He quickly put on his jacket, threw his phone into one of his pockets , grabbed his wallet and dashed out of his apartment. As he drove to the hideout, he searched his mind for a suitable lie that would get him out of the

    “Stay with me tonight,” Lily whispered, clutching Tony’s arms like he would disappear if she let him go. “You want us to spend the night together. Are you sure about this?” Tony asked, a small smile making its way to his lips. Lily was always running from him and avoiding times like this, but here she was suggesting that they spend the night together. Lily’s eyes widened, and her cheeks reddened as she finally understood his words. “I didn’t mean it like that!” She gasped, letting go of his hands and shaking her head to get rid of the obscene thoughts. Seeing her flushed face, Tony laughed. “I was only teasing you, Lily. I know you didn’t mean it in that way.” He clarified, chuckling at her. He then brought his fingers to her face and caressed her cheek, his eyes holding sincerity. “That doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen one day and believe me, Lily, that day is near.” He whispered as his thumb brushed her lip and Lily’s breath hitched, butterflies erupting in her bel

    “I…I think I should head upstairs.” Lily said quietly, breaking the piercing silence. Tony immediately turned to her, wanting to reach out to her and hold her in his arms.“Wait!” Rachael called out before Lily stood up and grabbed her hand calmly. “You know I have nothing but love for you in my heart, right?” She asked, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and frustration.Lily moved her lips to give a reply but no words came out.“I care about you just as much as Tony does,” Rachael said and shook her head, deciding to rephrase her sentence. “Okay, maybe not as much as Tony but I do care for you. I want you to be safe and I want you to be happy but, not at the expense of my brother’s life.” Rachael said with tears in her eyes.She wasn’t going to let her brother make a decision that could end his life as long as she was alive, even if it meant taking Lily out of his life. All she wanted was her brother’s safety.She had only known Lily for a few weeks after all. She wasn’t going t

    Later that day, Lily and Tony finally clocked out of the hospital after what was the most stressful day for Lily since she resumed. Her emotions were on a rollercoaster and so were her hands and feet as she was assigned to a doctor to help with the massive inflow of critical patients.A large number of nurses and doctors were staying through the night to watch the patients but, Tony knew that Lily wasn’t in the right state of mind to have an all-nighter at the hospital so, he spoke to Dr. Lorey and had another nurse take her place.“She isn’t feeling well, Lorey, and the last thing I’d want is for her health to deteriorate. I am sorry that I’m doing this when the hospital needs all the hands it can get.” He apologized.“I understand, Tony. I saw her at the emergency ward and she looked like she would fall at any minute. I was going to tell you to take her home. I’m sure the others will understand.” Dr Lorey said with a warm smile and Tony thanked her before leaving to get Lily who was

    “I have something to tell you!” They choruses at the same time, surprising each other. “You go first.” Tony decided to be a gentleman and hear what she had to say first but, Lily was too curious about his information to let things be. “No. Let me hear what you have to say first.” She countered, hoping to buy some time for herself. Shaking his head in refusal, Tony pressed. “You go first, Lily. Don’t worry, I won't chicken out.” He added with a reassuring smile. After a few seconds, Lily nodded and decided to go first. “I…” She started but was interrupted by Tony. “Wait! I don't think it's wise to do this here.” He said, looking around. “Come with me.” Tony grabbed her hand and led her to his office, ignoring the stares from some of the nurses. Lily didn’t care anymore about what others had to say or their judgmental stares, not when her life was in danger. She just wished that the nurses would pay more attention to their critical patients rather than prying into her and T

She didn’t need anyone to tell her who the sender was.There was only one person on the face of the earth who could threaten her in such a gruesome manner.Louis Moreau.Suddenly, all Lily could hear was the screams coming from the emergency ward which was filled with people who had been victims of the gang shooting and all she could think of was Louis’s text.“Did he do that just to send a warning to me?” She thought in a shaky breath and her heart hammered against her chest, almost as if it would explode.“Did so many people die just because of me?

    “Lily. She is the connection I have with them. Her ex-boyfriend is a member of the gang.” Tony revealed with a straight face, awaiting Dr Raph’s reply. A few seconds pass and nothing is heard from him but just as Tony opens his mouth to speak again, Dr Raph finally speaks up. “What?!” He yells, loud enough for anyone who is outside the office to hear. “What the fuck did you just say?” “Quiet down, Man. This is an office.” Tony scolded, shaking his head but Dr Raph was not having it. Not when he had just dropped a bomb that could affect him and the entire hospital if not handled properly. “Don’t fucking tell me to calm down, Tony. Don’t! How the fuck did you get involved with a girl like that?” The words left his mouth before he could caution himself. Tony immediately shot him a harsh glare and he immediately cleared his throat before rephrasing his sentence. “Don’t get me wrong, Tony. Lily is a nice and hardworking girl.
