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,

This has got to be the bravest thing that MJ has done, but as soon as the nurses start to prep her into the surgery clothes, she feels as if she is being sentenced to death. Leon notices her changed countenance and he gives her a nod. “Are you getting nervous, MJ?” “I don't know, maybe I should just call my brother and tell him that I might be going to jail after this.” She sighs. “Oh, don't worry, we are going to be able to do this.” Leon assures her. “I have studied his charts, and this is something that we can do. We are the golden students, let's not forget.” She nods. She believes in her skills, but this is just the first time that she is doing something like this. They walk into the operating room, where the nurses, the anesthesiologist are ready. All the machines that have been connected to the body are beeping periodically. Leon breathes gently as he goes to the prepped patient. Everything is cleaned up, and the heart region exposed for surgery. “Okay, team, let's do

The Grayson brothers don't believe that two student Doctors were able to save their father's life. “Do not lie to us, get out of the way!” At that moment, the nurses are wheeling out Judge Grayson and the brothers rush to check on him. Although he seems to be deep in sleep, he is fine. Doctor William goes over to check on the judge, and upon examination, he sees that everything has been done to perfection. “Holy mother of God,” he takes off his glasses. “They actually did it!” “Are you telling us that our father is going to be fine?” “Yes, sirs. From what I see, he is going to make a perfect recovery.” The Grayson brothers, big and mighty men, hug each other with tears in their eyes. Before Leon and MJ could know what's going on, the brothers have pull them into the hug too. “Thank you, Doctor Leon and Doctor Mary Jones! Our family is never going to forget this day!” Doctor William takes out a handkerchief and wipe his face in relief. This was a rollercoaster, and he is

MJ feels a heavy sense of disappointment in herself because she kissed a married man yesterday, but Leon is also startled that she is shocked. Leon never thought she didn't knew that part of his life because he assumed that Damien must have shared that information with the rest of the class. MJ is at the verge of tears, but she forces a smile and turns away. “I'm sorry for my behavior, judge Grayson. I'm very glad to see that you have recovered, but I have to go to check on one of my patients.” “Are you sure you have to go, beautiful Doctor?” Judge Grayson asks. “I haven't properly thanked the both of you for saving my life.” “Please, sir. Doctor Shankly was the one who did all the work, so I guess all your gratitude should go to him.” Leon wants to protest, beg her to stay, but she is gone before anyone can stop her. Leon feels a pain in his heart. He wants to go after her, but that would be rude to judge Grayson and his family. Judge Grayson smiles as he snaps his fingers a

Seeing that MJ and Leon fighting makes Damien's heart bubble with happiness. Even though Damien is actively pursuing a marriage with Selina, he still feels jealous towards any man that gains even the smallest access to MJ. The lecturer is stunned that Leon and MJ don't want to work together anymore. “Doctor Jones and Leon, what's the matter? Do you realize that if you work together you are going to get the highest score?” “Like I said, sir, we have differences that will stand in our way. I am open to picking anyone that doesn't have a partner yet.” Immediately, everyone starts to dump their partners so that MJ could pick them. If they are MJ’s partner, she will put so much effort into the project, and she will make sure that they do well, even without them contributing anything. “Pick me, MJ!” “I will provide all the materials that we will need, pick me!” But MJ twists her neck around the room and notices the most unserious student in the class. Marcus Young. “Marcus!” Her

This is the most confusing golden list in the history of the school, never have there been only two names on the list. Doctor William knows that the list would be very controversial, so he comes out of his office and claps his hands to get the attention of the students. “Okay, I know that this is not a conventional golden list, but I assure all of you that it is well deserved.” He says. Damien is all red in the face, like a tomato, because his name is missing from the list. It's even worse because somehow, his mortal enemy made it. “Why just two names, Doctor William?! If you don't give us an answer, then we are going to be forced to destroy the school properties and protest!” The students grunts with agreement, but Doctor William only smiles. “My dear students, there is no need for the commotion. Yes, there are only two names on the list, but that's because the top two students did something very wonderful. They put their future career on the line to perform a very risky surge

Judge Grayson keeps his word to Leon and just before the end of the day, he is in the dining room having a late dinner when the door opens and Selina rushes in with screams of joy. “Damien! Babe, where are you?!” She bawls. Leon stops eating briefly, because he thinks that she is in some kind of problem, but Damien appears and she shows him the approved divorce papers. “Look, Leon and I are officially divorced!” She jumps into his hands. Damien's face cracks up in a smile and he twirls her in the air as he kisses her. “Finally, I can be with the love of my life! We are going to have the biggest wedding of the century!” Damien boasts. The divorce being approved doesn't come as a surprise to Leon, because he was the one who begged the Chief Judge to approve it before the set time as a favour to him. He just goes back to eating his bowl of food, and ignores the celebrating couple in front of him. “Leon, are you actually crying?” Selina laughs with mockery. Leon touches his face.

Hearing MJ introduce herself as Leon's girlfriend makes Selina laugh in disbelief. She strongly believes that Leon is still in love with her, and won't move so quickly to another woman. She doesn't love Leon anymore, but she loves the idea of him begging for her to take him back till eternity….“Please, spare me the lies!” She hiss rudely. “Leon is not qualified enough to be with a girl like you!” MJ is immediately offended by this. “What's that supposed to mean? Leon is handsome and kind, is that not enough for us to love each other?” Selina scoffs. “Silly girl! He doesn't have a dollar to his name, so any lies he has told you, it's better you don't believe it! Trust me, I divorced him due to how useless he is!” Leon just looks down, he has gotten so used to Selina embarrassing him, but MJ is not going to be having any of that today. She pulls Leon in and gives him a hot and deep kiss on his lips. Everyone gasps, because it's like a scene from a fairytale. “I'm in love with

Selina holds her breath, she has just given her halfbrother the biggest threat ever. This could go two ways. It's either he listens to her and allows them to be, or he will be even more angry, and throws them out. But Donald Xavier comes to her face and bends to meet her height. “Is this one of your jokes, Selina?” He snorts. “A joke?” She retorts. “Look at my engagement ring! Do you still think I am joking?” But Donald doesn't even glance at the huge rock on her finger. For all he knows, it might be a fake. “Get me a dinner meeting with your so called husband to be, and I will believe you.” Mrs Xavier shakes her head with eyes weakened from crying. “You won't believe us until it's too late.” “You have five days to get me dinner with the heir of the Shankly family, and then maybe I can strike a deal with you, dear sister.” He snaps his fingers, and his men immediately starts to walk to their cars. Selina and her mother watch in fright as the cars leave the compound. It's li
