By noon, Titan Hospital had doubled its guard.Jason had seen to it personally. Four men in black stood at the main entrance, two more at every lift and four along the executive corridor. None of them wore the hospital's grey uniform. None had ever been on its payroll.Orion arrived at five minutes to twelve.He came through the glass doors in a charcoal suit, with a slim leather folder under his arm and the faint, easy smile of a man walking into his own house.Two men stepped into his path."Dr. Clever. Please stand still.""I beg your pardon?""Security, sir. A routine check."Orion's smile didn't move. "Routine.""Yes, sir."He lifted his arms with a theatrical sigh. They patted down his jacket, his sleeves, his trouser legs and the folder under his arm. One of them passed a thin black wand along his chest. Another went through his wallet, his phone, his keys.They found nothing."Satisfied?" Orion asked."Thank you, sir. You may go up.""Do you search all your resigning staff?" he

Orion came out of the washroom five minutes later, drying his hands on a handkerchief.He walked back toward the lift with his usual unhurried stride. The faint smile was back in place, though his eyes were a shade too bright.At the end of the corridor, two men in black stepped out from behind a pillar."Dr. Clever?"Orion stopped. "Yes?""Sir, we are sorry to trouble you." The taller of them spoke politely, as if he had never seen Orion before in his life. "Security. Random checks on all visitors to this floor. May we look through your pockets?""I was already searching downstairs.""Different shifts, sir."Orion sighed and lifted his arms. The shorter guard ran his hands down the sides of his trousers. When he reached the right pocket, his fingers stopped."Sir. What is this?""What is what?"The guard drew out a small black object and held it up between two fingers. A flash drive, no longer than a thumb, with a silver clasp."It's mine," Orion said, a little too quickly."May I ask

“Are you the one to tell me what to do now?” Orion growled, stamping fiercely on his desk but Caspian looked at him and smiled. “Do you know the word ‘accountability?’” “Did I tell you I didn't go to school and tell me where in the law mandates me to marry a woman I had a baby with.” Caspian ran a skeptical look at him from up to down, shaking his head with a smirk. Does this guy really know what he's signing up for? Does he know the kind of risk he's taking arguing this with me? Considering the situation at his father's hospital, he can barely stand against him in court. Caspian knew the charges to level on him and he'd drain all of his energy and money on lawyers and still not get to defeat him. That's why he wasn't bothered, but taking it slowly. Orion, seeing that he wasn't getting any response for his violent attempt to silence Caspian, sat back and Caspian repeated the same thing he said earlier. “I'm a business man and I deal with transactions. I don't do anything for

But a quiet voice said at the back of his head. “Who told you that you will come back?” Already he was asking for compensation, indirectly declaring he was working here again. However in an atmosphere like this, he needed to pull a little bit of fear. Some succumbed, others stood stall, bracing their chest as they grabbed his hand. “There's no way a prestigious hospital like this would take such a scandalous doctor as you back.” One of the guards hissed. Another on his right chuckled. “Leave him, let him dream on. You better go take back the woman you used and flung away.” While the rest laughed. Orion stood rigid, still folding his palms. His lips moved but no words would come out of his mouth. He thought of what to say to hurt these people. Nothing at all. His rage flew to his rival, his greatest enemy. Caspian. He'd told about him to everyone, even to guards like these who are way below his level. That anger kept churning and burning inside of him that even when he was dr

The drive was silent and gloomy like they were going to fight some tough, secret war. Caspian kept on looking outside, cupping his chin in thought. Jason thought to ask but seeing Graycie looking, he didn't want to attract his wrath. However when they were close to the Hospital, he pulled out his phone to check out on Nancy and the media. “They are all ready….waiting for us.” “Uhmm…” Caspian said and turned to look out again. Graycie frowned. “What's going wrong with me?” Her body was shaking, praying he didn't change his mind on this. The last thing she wanted was Orion believing he could do what he wanted to do and no one could question him. At the entrance of the Titan Hospital, the media came with their cameras and mics. Caspian raised his hand in the air, the other hand in his pocket as he walked seriously in. Jason dripped with amusement. “Is this show for Graycie?” He thought. Definitely, it was. “Boss,” he called out next, rushing over to his side, leaving Graycie alo
