Leon laughs at the ridiculous offer from Damien. Damien thinks this is because the money is too low. “Fine, Leon, I can be able to give you two million, but that means that you must leave today.” “Damien, are you being serious right now? Do you think I am here because of money?” Leon shakes his head. “I mean, why else are you here?” Damien scoffs. “I know how desperate poor people can be. My sister, for some reason, is very infatuated with you, but I don't like that at all. Get out of our lives, take the money, and disappear.” “No.” Leon says. “It's stupid that you think struggling people think like that. I am here because I want her to mentor me to become a good doctor, and when I am done with that, I will go on and make my family proud.” Damien's eyes darken with so much hate. He can barely stand Leon and how he behaves so high and mighty. “Fine, don't say that I didn't give you any chance.” Damien says. “This was your last chance to save yourself and you have just blown it.”

Leon thinks that this is a joke that Damien paid them to play on him, but when he sees the seriousness on their faces, he starts to feel his heart beat faster. “Sorry, I didn't hear you the first time. How much did you say is in my name?” Leon asks. “A hundred million dollars.” The officer answers again. “Is this a prank? Why would she accuse you of stealing from her if you are so rich?” Leon swallows a gulp. He has never owned a hundred thousand dollars in his life, talk more of a million, or a multimillion. He requests to see the screen too, and true to their words, Leon sees an account holding a hundred million dollars, and yes, it's in his name.There is only one answer to this. Helen. She knew that he would have said no to the money, so she went and opened an account and put a hundred million dollars in it without telling him. Now, the officers are scared because they have just assaulted a man who is clearly a big deal. The highest ranking officer decides to take over

The next day at school, Damien walks in with a very high mood. The students enters into the class, and they are waiting for the lectures for the day to begin. Mary Jones keeps glancing at her wristwatch every now and then, turning her neck in an impatient manner. At some point, she even turn around to check if Damien is his usual seat, at the back of the class, and he is. She stands up and briskly walks up to him. “Hi, Damien, I learnt that you and Leon stay at the same house.” She says. “Point of correction, the homeless twat is staying in my boy's quarters because my sister insisted on taking him up as a protege.” he huffs .“Whatever.” She rolls her eyes. “Can you tell me why he is not in school yet? He is my friend, and I am worried about him.” Damien crosses his legs. “Well, MJ, I don't know why you are asking me such a silly question, when I am not his chauffeur.” Mary Jones throws her face to the side and snorts. “Oh, please. I was just asking out of worry for Leon. S

Mrs Xavier is watching as her daughter injects herself with her night routine injection. It looks very painful, but Selina has been doing a good job with keeping a brave face. Mrs Xavier sighs, and her daughter looks up at her. “What's the problem, mother?” She asks. “The shares are falling again.” Mrs Xavier laments. “Do you know what that means?” Selina rolls her eyes, she doesn't care too much about this. “What does it mean, mum?” “That means that idiot will finally have a reason to kick us out!” Mrs Xavier yells back at Selina. “Aren't you bothered about that, Selina? It will be so embarrassing, and it will make its way to all the gossip blogs!” You see, the Xavier family is rich, they are worth almost a billion dollars, but they have a heavy family secret. It's an open secret, rather. The patriarch of the family, Donald Xavier is dead. He has been for the last eight years, but there is something else. You see, although Mrs Victoria Xavier is the legal wife, Donald Xavie

Leon never wanted to return to the Xavier household, especially after what they had done to him, but there is only one reason why he has come back. A day ago, Leon went to his mother, and even though she is doing very much better (thanks to Helen and the twins), she is missing a set of her China plates. These are an old set of plates that his adoptive father bought for her when they were still courting. She misses it not because it's expensive, but because it's one of the few gifts her poor late husband was able to get for her during his lifetime. Of course it's possible for Leon to get her new plates to replace those ones, but he knows that the only reason she wants them is because they were from his adoptive father. So, even though he would prefer not to visit the Xavier family again, here he is, about to make his last ever request to them. Mrs Xavier snarls, because she can hardly stand Leon. “You, what are you doing in my house?!” She blasts him. “Haven't you done enough? A

Selina's words feel like someone has taken a poison covered knife and driven it into Leon's chest. She can clearly see the pain on his face, but Selina has never been one to care how others feel. “Was I that bad of a husband to you? That you would break the law if it means getting rid of me faster?” He asks with a heavy heart. Selina chuckles. “Do you know what that is going to do to my reputation if it gets out that I was once married to a loser like you? Come on, do this one thing for me and maybe I'll hop off your back.” Leon sighs, because he knows that even though it's very painful, he can't force her to remain married to him. She has made her choice, and there is nothing he can do about it. “Fine.” Leon says. “I will go down to the court house and see if anything can be done. I am not promising anything yet, because I am very busy with medical school.” Selina rolls her eyes, because she doesn't care. “Whatever, Leon, just get it done. Every extra day being married to you f

Everyone is thrown into shock by what they have seen. Leon's jaw drops to the ground too. Damien feels dizzy for a quick minute, and he has to take a few steps back to steady himself. He runs his hand over his pulsating cheek, and then looks at his normally calm sister, who has turned into an animal. He has done so many things to make his sisters mad. His exorbitant and careless lifestyle has cost the family a lot of money, but never has his sisters been mad enough to hit him. Helen's eyes are bloodshot with rage. She is breathing so heavily that her chest moves up and down. “How dare you defy me?! Do you think that you are above me?! I gave you everything you have, do you hear me?! Every bloody thing!!” She screams. Damien is calm like quenched coal. “Helen, I'm sorry. You don't have to scream at me, I didn't plan to make you mad!” “I warned you to stay away from Leon, leave the poor boy alone, but you never listen!” She fires on. “Let it be the last time that such happens,

Even though there has been a serious strain in the relationship between Helen and Damien, he still has some duties to perform for the family. Damien is a terrible person in many aspects, but he is a very good orator, and when the sisters need someone from the family to make an appearance, Damien is always available. He is loved by the public, because although his sisters do most of the work to keep the family in good light, everyone gives him credit because he is the ‘man’ of the house. Only a few people in their inner circle know that Damien is not as perfect as he appears to be. Helen is busy in her laboratory. She is working on some highly confidential drugs that will be groundbreaking in the medical world. She spends most of her day in the lab, then some hours reviewing documents in her office, before heading back home everyday. She is walking to her office, with a hot cup of coffee in her hand. “I think I can squeeze in a zoom meeting today.” Helen tells Lynn, who is rig

Leon is very busy in school, but he has to quickly find the time to go to the courthouse because Selina has been sending him death threats in the form of text messages. He doesn't tell Helen or anyone about this, instead he takes a taxi and drives to the other part of the city, where the courthouse is located. When he gets there, he meets the receptionist, and Leon heaves with tiredness when he sees the long line of people that have also come to see the judge. Many kinds of people are here, and some of them are so rich that they slip a few dollars to the receptionist, and they are allowed to jump the line. Leon has to wait for over five hours, and finally, he gets to walk into the office. The old man is coughing into a handkerchief when Leon walks in. “Good day, your lordship.” Leon greets. “Thank you, Mister Leon, what can I do for you today?” He asks as Leon sits down. Leon looks down at his fingers. “Your grace, I am here to see you in concern of a divorce application my

Doctor William is so shocked that he laughs out loud. “No, Leon, I am not taking away the fact that you are a very brilliant doctor, but I doubt if this is in your area of specialization.” Doctor William shakes his head. “Doctor William, I have a wide range of specialization, and even though I have never told anyone this, I have intensely studied the heart and I can confidently correct the defect in Judge Grayson's heart.” Doctor William runs his fingers through his hair. “You don't understand, Leon. It's not that I can't trust you, I mean you are Doctor Shankly's protege, but this man is a very important person in the society. His children are very influential lawyers, and they will never agree for a student to operate on their father.” “Well, this is an emergency and if they don't have some faith in Leon and allow him to operate on their father, he will be dead!” Mary Jones says. Over ten cars drive into the hospital at high speed. The tree Grayson sons steps out of the cars,
