Leon goes to the venting machine with some snacks before he goes into the elevator. He is not going to his office, he is going to one of the floors of the hospital that was closed for a quick renovation. In one of the storage room, he put a bed and some makeshift necessities for it to become somewhere for someone to stay for a few days. He gently knocks on the door, using a secret rhythm, so that the person will know that it's him. Elle opens the door and smiles when she sees him. “Doctor Leon!” “Hey you, how are you?” He gets in and they lock the door. Her makeshift room is the size of a small closet, but she has kind of made it her own. She has been here for five days since her family were killed, and she looks better now. She was fine, and he treated her wounds, but she also suffered a terrible fever the last few days. It was just a manifestation of her grief of losing her family. She was so hurt that Leon got scared and wanted to take her downstairs to be admitted, but

Helen doesn't let go of the steering wheel, in fact she is contemplating on ramming the car into this bodyguard. “I am running late for a meeting, I don't have time for this.” Helen says from inside the car. “He won't take much of your time, Doctor, he just wants to talk.” Helen heaves. “You know, kidnapping is just embarrassing, even for a monster like him. I am not a doll that he can just pick up to play with.” “I'm sure the boss understands that, Doctor. I will relay your displeasure at how out of the blue this is, I'm sure he will do better next time.” Helen huffs. Next time? there won't be a next time. All that her parents have always told her about protecting herself rings in her ears, but she still grabs her handbag and steps out of her car. “I have only forty minutes to spare. He is not going to get more than that.” ******Alex Kane is in his house, going through some sketches that his architect left for him. He is tracing the fine lines on the paper when the bodygu

“It's done, boss.” Damien feels like a tight rope has finally snapped on the inside of him. It's not because he is feeling guilty for killing every member of his biological family, but because he knows that he has buried that part of his life, and no one will be able to find it. He smiles and looks out of the window. “Good. The balance will be wired into your account in a minute. Pleasure doing business with you.” He can't wait to tell Selina, she is going to be so pleased with him. Now he just has to make sure that Mister Alex Kane gets married to Helen, so that he can become the king he has always been meant to be. The door opens, and one of the interns that works directly with Helen comes in with a file. “Good morning, Mister Grimm. Doctor Shankly asked me to give this to you.” He bows slightly. Damien stands up with anger contorting the entirety of his face. “What did you just call me now?!” He slaps the innocent intern. The man has heard rumors about how Damien used to

The accident was tragically fatal. It's so late at night and the driver took a deserted road.Elle is the one who manages to open her eyes, but once she sees her mother's lifeless eyes staring at her, she knows that it's over. She can't even cry, she can't even move more than a finger. She knows that her dear mother is gone, but what about her brothers?“Ja..mes..” she uses all her strength to call out, but it sounds like the weak squeaking of a mouse. “Brian…” She hears some laboured breathing and when she moves her eyes to the left, she sees Brian bleeding from his head, but he is very much alive and stronger than her. “Elle!” He calls out, tries to reach out to her, but he whimpers in pain. It seems that his right hand is broken. “Stop… moving…” she begs him. “You are… going to… hurt yourself.” “I will get us all out of here, don't worry. We are going to catch that flight. We are going to go back to our farm.” Elle feels a tear drop roll down her cheek. How can she tell h

Leon goes over to the Jones family hospital because it's been a week since he last saw his fiancee, MJ. When he gets there, he finds her in the surgery room, performing a quick surgery on a new born baby, while almost twenty student doctors standing around her with maximum attentiveness. Leon watches her through the glass with a proud smile on his face. He can't believe that she is going to be his wife very soon, it's like he has won the jackpot. “She's good, isn't she?” Leon turns to see Cameron standing next to him, hands deep into his pockets. “I'm not saying this because you are her friend, but what do you think of her skills?” Cameron doesn't take his eyes off his sister. “She's excellent.” Leon admits. “I've been in the surgery room with her, and she has a lot of tricks up her sleeves.” Cameron snickers with the pride of a brother. “She is getting promoted very soon. She made me promise not to show her any special treatment, but she is just too good to remain an assistant

“I'm sick and tired of these people!” Selina complains in the bedroom. Damien closes the door as he angrily pulls his tie off. “I know, so am I.” “You should have gotten rid of them when we had the chance! They piss me off, especially your mother!” Damien growls under his breath. He hates that Rita is his mother, but he can't change biology. “I told you to get rid of them as soon as they appeared, but you refused! Do you know how dangerous they are? They could get to the paparazzi and if everyone finds out that you have an entire family out there, do you realize that we will never get back the Shankly empire?!” “I know that, Selina, don't you think I know that?!” He raised his voice at her. The truth is that they are both frustrated by the situation, and they don't know what to do. Selina sits at the edge of the bed, going over all the options that are in her head. “I think I have a plan, but I don't think you will like it very much.” Damien tells her. “Well, will it get rid
