Alex is in his office working, when an associate comes in and turns on the television. “For the first time, sir, I think your wife has played you. You were playing checkers, and she was playing chess.” “... It has just come to our notice that Helen Shankly has appointed the underdog miracle doctor of her family hospital, as acting president of the Shankly empire. This comes as a shock to everyone, who expected that she would mend things with her estranged brother, Damien Shankly…” Alex is not usually one to get blindsided, but he is at this moment. He heads back to his desk and just continues working. His associate is disappointed, he expected a bigger reaction from him. “Sir, is that what you are going to say? Nothing?!” “This is a private matter, David, and I will discuss it with my wife at home.” Alex answers nonchalantly. The man sighs, palming his face with disappointment. “Sir, you don't understand. I already promised to sell part of the empire to one of our business par

Yes, it feels nice to get saved from the beast that is her husband, but something else that bothers her is the fact that she has been saved by Cameron, the one person that shouldn't be here right now. “What are you doing here, Cam?” She whispers in fear. “Yes, Cameron Jones, what are you doing here?” Alex asks, echoing her words, but he has more scorn on his face. Cameron's face is red with anger, and his left eye is twitching. The veins on his face are protruding, and he is using all the strength in him to keep himself from hitting Alex. “You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking of hitting Helen.” Cam hiss. “Have you no sense in your head? Do you know she is precious?” “Don't blame me, Cam, the woman has a way of getting on one's nerves. She is cute, but it gets to a fucking point, doesn't it?” Alex tilts his head to the side. He forcefully shrugs Cam’s grip off himself, and he takes a step back. Helen immediately jumps in between them. She would rather die a thous

“No, Helen, I will not be taking over, this is not part of the plan.” Leon stands up, and starts to walk towards the door. Helen stands up and goes after him. “You don't understand, this is the last time I am going to be coming to the hospital. Alex is not joking around, he really doesn't want me to work anymore.” “Helen, you don't know how crazy this sounds to me. You are a doctor! You have saved many lives! How can you stop now?” Helen has so much to say, but her tears choke her up. She had to calm herself down, before she could continue. “Leon, you are the only one I can trust to keep this hospital down while Alex continues his madness.” She holds his arms. “You can't say no, Leon.” Leon knows that he can't. He is the man of the house and now he has to save his sister from her terrible husband. “Helen, I think it's time.” Leon says. “We have to take him down now, this is the plan from the very beginning.” Helen shakes her head even before he is done. “Leon, Alex will kill

Helen goes into her bathroom and locks the door. She wants to call Cameron and warn him that they were not careful enough because Alex has found out their secret. She dials her number, but it keeps disconnecting each time. What's the matter? She tries to send him a text message, but it also doesn't go through. Is her phone broken? She tries to maybe send him an email too, but it doesn't go through anymore. She grabs her laptop, but it's without Internet. She immediately starts to feel worry stirring on the inside of her. She goes downstairs, so that she can look for the staff and tell them that something is wrong with the Internet, but she is very surprised when she sees a huge bodyguard in front of her bedroom door. “Good morning, Miss, is anything the issue? Do you need some water?” He asks her. You see, he is not an ordinary bodyguard. He is Alex's personal bodyguard, and he usually goes everywhere with him. Seeing him in front of her right now is not giving her a good feeli

Helen is struck with confusion by what she has seen. Why did he invite everyone here? What's his plan? Her eyes waters once she sees Leon. He looks so tired, maybe because he has been the president of the empire all by himself, it's a lot of responsibility. She used to feel terrible too, but at least she had Leon and Lynn to support her. There's no one supporting Leon. She stands up, because she needs to hug him and tell him that he is doing a good job, but Alex stops her. “I wouldn't do that if I were you.” He kisses his teeth. “What the hell, Alex, you are not going to allow me to say hi to my friends and family? What sort of man are you?” “Take one step, Helen, and someone dies.” He says to her. “I told you that there were going to be consequences for your disobedience. When are you going to learn that I am not someone to be messed with?” She is frozen with fear and shock in her chair, somehow she knows that he is not bluffing. “They have done nothing to you, Alex,” she sha

The door snaps shut with a damning thud. The faces of everyone turned pale as soon as Alex allowed those horrendous words out of his mouth. “Okay, that's crazy.” Brian mutters. “We are leaving this place now. MJ, mum, Cam, let's get the hell out of here!”He stands up, taking his mother's hand, even though she is shaking with fear, but before they could get to the door, Alex's men cock their guns to aim it at them. Everyone shudders with fear, holding their hands up in surrender. Alex stands up with a short laugh. “What the hell did you think you were going to do? Walk out like I didn't order you all to sit your ass down?! Where did all this disrespect come from?!” “Just who the hell do you think you are?!” Cameron yells at Alex. “You think you are invincible? I am going to call the general of the army to arrest you!” Mister Jones immediately stands up too. “Enough, Cameron. Instead of you begging Mister Kane to forgive all of us, you are trying to anger him even more?” His son

Everyone is shaken to their core by what they have heard.Leon is now the center of attention, and this wasn't how he planned for everyone to find out. MJ raises her head and looks at him. “Is this true? You are the missing Shankly son?” Damien immediately lets out a laugh that makes him sound like a psychopath. “Hahaha! This is the funniest thing I have heard in my life!!! Leon is the Shankly son?! Oh, please, tell me another believable joke!” “Yes, Damien is telling the truth!” Selina backs her husband. “I was married to Leon for three miserable years, and I can tell you that boy don't belong to a top class family like the Shankly! He is the son of a poor chef and a driver!” Alex laughs. “You think that I, Alex Kane, would get something like that wrong? You think I didn't do my research?” Everyone is quiet. “I conducted a DNA test on him and found out that bingo! He is the anonymous son that was cowardly hiding in the dark.” Alex says. “I knew for a long time and was strategic

“No, no, no,” Leon rushes to their side. He goes to Selina first, because she is the only one who is still clinging to life. Since there are so many doctors in the room, they immediately surround everyone else to see if there is any sign of life in any of them. Leon has forgotten that Selina used to be so mean to him. Damien, and Mrs Xavier too. He is a doctor, and all he wants to do is to save them. “They are dead, we can't save them.” Leon admits defeat. This is a very hard thing for him to do. “Maybe if we are able to get them into a hospital, we can revive them. Time is crucial, we have to go.” Brian suggests. They are ready to pick up all three of them and take them, but Alex's men don't move from the door. “You think I don't know that this is your plan to escape?” Alex says. “No one leaves the room. Not even the bodies.” “Alex, what's wrong with you? We are Doctors, we are trying to save their lives!” Helen blasts him. “Get back into your seats, all of you. This is far

Helen is frozen for a second. “What did you say? You want me to be married to Alex for a while longer?” “That's right.” He affirms. “Leon, are you out of your mind?” “I assure you that I'm not, Helen.” “I'm not going to do it, you have no idea what it feels like to be married to that animal for four months. I'm not staying married to him for even a day longer!” “Helen, Helen,” he holds her hand. “I'm not saying that you have to go back to live with him. You guys can be separated, but what I'm saying is don't file for divorce yet.” Helen shakes her head. “What are you up to, Leon? We won already, he is going to leave us alone. It's time to stop fighting him.” Leon laughs, because his innocent sister thinks that Alex will stay down. As far as he is still alive, this will never be over. “Just trust me, okay? Alex Kane needs to be taught a lesson. We can't allow him to go unpunished, after everything his family did to ours.” Helen sighs as her eyes go back to the television. “D

The room is so quiet that if a pin is to fall on the ground, it would be very loud. For the first time, Helen looks straight into the eyes of Cameron. She saw the loss of light in his eyes as they sat in the burial, but she didn't expect for him to give up on her so easily. “There is no need for that, Cameron. You and Helen have been together for so long and you are going to break up over what? Your late father?” Leon says. “Doctor Leon, with due respect, I think that what Cameron is doing is the most honorable thing.” Brian says. “Helen deserves better. She doesn't deserve to be married into a family as terrible as ours.” “That doesn't make any sense! MJ and I are not breaking up because what Uncle Jonathan did has nothing to do with us.” “Yes, Leon and I are not breaking up.” MJ stands her ground. “Since our marriage is no longer a secret anymore, and Dad, our biggest opposition, is now dead, we can move in together. Helen, I don't think you should give up.” Helen hasn't said
