Stacy didn’t wait for the car engine to turn off before running into the hospital. She had been trying to stay calm all through the ride but, as soon as the hospital building came into view, she felt her anxiety return.“Stacy! Wait!” Thomas tried to call her, but she closed the door before he could finish and ran into the hospital.“A-drian Daniels. Where is he?” She asked the receptionist with a shaky voice. “Mrs Daniels!” The receptionist recognized her immediately and bowed slightly. But, Stacy was in no mood for greetings.“Where is my son?” She asked again, raising her voice this time.“Y-yes. He’s in the VIP ward. Ward 4.” The receptionist said, sighting her husband, Thomas Daniels, behind her.As soon as the words left her lips, Stacy took off like a mad woman, searching for his room. Without searching for long, the ward came into view and she went in.“Oh, Adrian.” Tears started flowing from her eyes as she stared at her son lying on the bed with oxygen connected to him.“Wha
“You can’t fire me, Miss Edward. You have no proof against me. All you have been doing is laying false accusations on me. You can’t prove that I am responsible for that article.” Alexa said with a confident look on her face. She expected Harriet to suspect her but what she didn’t expect was for her to actually fire her. As far as she was concerned, Harriet had no power to do that. Especially since she works for the chairman directly.“I figured you’d say that.” Harriet smirked and pulled out her hands to Collin, who immediately gave her his own tablet.“I must commend your efforts, Alexa. You did an excellent job at hiding your tracks. But, it wasn’t good enough,” Harriet said, and showed everyone the evidence. They had tracked down the IP address and, as expected, it corresponded with hers.“Leave, Alexa.” Harriet said and stood to her feet. “The next person who tries this will be faced with a bigger punishment. That’s all for today’s meeting.” She said as she walked out of the mee
Damien arrived at the hospital only to see his mother sitting outside Adrian’s room, soaked in her own tears. Even though he was furious with her, he couldn’t ignore the ache in his heart as he saw her in such a state.“D-damien?” Stacy called out as soon as she saw him. To say that she was ashamed of herself would be an understatement. Not only had she supported Adrian’s wrongdoings, she also neglected her elder son. She felt responsible for Adrian’s behavior. Maybe if she hadn’t pampered him so much, he wouldn’t have come out that way. “God! I can’t even look at you.” She whispered, lowering her head into her palm as she continued crying.“Why aren’t you inside, Mum? Is everything okay?” Damien asks in a cold tone. He didn’t want to forgive her so easily because she had deeply hurt him with her actions.Stacy sensed his distant behavior and she ached even more.“Can you ever forgive me, my boy?” She finally summoned the courage to ask, looking at him with teary eyes. “I never knew
It took Damien less than three hours to find Adrian’s lawyer. The man had fled to his vacation home, leaving his wife and children in New York. He must have known that Adrian was in trouble, seeing as he took every single document from the house before fleeing. But, he wasn’t smart enough to clean his tracks properly.Damien didn’t want to fly out to get him since his vacation home was in Mexico. He didn’t want to leave the country with everything that was happening. Even though Adrian had been arrested, he didn’t want to take his chances and leave his family alone. So, he sent Dante and his men instead. Damien was still at the hospital when he made the calls. He had sent his mother home a few minutes ago but couldn’t leave himself as he needed to make sure that he was making some progress.When he finally decided to leave, he checked his time, only to realize that it was already a few minutes to nine. Immediately, his phone rang. It was a call from Harriet.“Hey.” Her soft voice h
After Damien’s threat, Mr. Devon immediately started spilling information from his mouth. But, his important files and recordings were at his house in New York, so Damien had to go with him.“This is everything I have. This should help you prove your father’s innocence and get your company back.” He said, still shivering with fear. His wife and children were in their rooms upstairs, so he feared that Damien would change his mind and expose him.One thing about Damien was that he was a lover of the truth and justice. Mr. Devon was a corrupt lawyer who had no business in the practice. So, he was going to expose him after he was done with everything.“You picked the right side, Devon. Thanks for this.” Damien said with a smile and walked out of his house, but not before saying one last thing.“We’ll meet again, Devon. I am looking forward to it.”Damien immediately took the documents and recordings to the prosecution and in no time, his father was proved innocent and free to go. All art
“Is everything alright, my love?” Ha Young said with a worried voice, patting her back as she helped her get her hair out of her face. Stacy and Damien had also come into the room with her as they were worried for her. “I think it’s the pancakes. The smell did something to my stomach,” Harriet said while rinsing her mouth. Ha Young turned to Stacy and raised her brows, wondering if she was thinking the same thing.“She needs to get changed son. Give us a few minutes.” Stacy said, pushing Damien out of the room.“Are you even being serious, mother? I have definitely seen her naked countless times.” Damien said while holding his laugh in and Harriet choked on her spit.“Damien! You shouldn’t be saying things like that with your mother around!” Stacy slapped his arm and pushed him out completely before shutting the door.“He’s not wrong, you know?” Harriet laughed as soon as Damien was out of the room. “Oh, please.” Stacy rolled her eyes playfully. She and Ha young waited until Harrie
“I love you more than you can imagine, Harriet. Please, marry me again.” Damien said as he pulled out a shiny diamond ring from his pocket that had everyone in the room ogling. “Damien.” Harriet struggled to control her emotions. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes as she stared at him. She had no idea that he had been planning a proposal and got impatient. She couldn’t even believe that he said anything when she was threatening to leave him with her children. “Don’t make him kneel for so long, darling.” Ha Young joked, causing all of them to laugh loudly. “God, yes. Yes, I’ll marry you, Damien.” She cried, bringing out her hands for him to place the ring in. As she said those words, Damien felt a weight leave his chest. One of the reasons why he had taken so much time to propose was because he wasn’t sure if she’d still want to get married to him after their last marriage ended. He thought that she might have bad thoughts about marriage because of him. But, as she said t
Six Months Later.“Can you not run around, Addy? Mummy is too heavy to chase you around.” Harriet said, finding it hard to breathe. She had been trying to give Addison her medicines since she caught a cold but, the little trouble decided to turn it into a game of chase.“You have to catch me, mummy! It’ll make Aliya strong!” Addison said with a giggle, referring to the baby which was still inside Harriet. As soon as it was confirmed that they were expecting a girl, Addison took it upon herself to come up with a name. One week later, she announced that the new baby would be called Aliyah and no one dated object.“Is Addy refusing to take her meds again?” Damien chuckled as he walked down the stairs with Aiden.“Yeah, she…” Harriet started but suddenly felt liquid pour out of her. She stood shocked for a few seconds, as reality hadn’t dawned on her yet. “D-damien. I think the baby is coming.” As soon as she said those words, she was hit with an unbearable pain that had her shutting her
