Helen takes her glass and empties it down her throat in one mighty gulp.

She was going to attend the meeting, but she has suddenly realized how dangerous Damien has become.

He had the guts to threaten her because he considers himself to be the lifeline of this family, but he doesn't know that he was nothing but a temporary replacement.

Now that Leon is back, Damien is going to be as useless as a goldfish walker for the Shankly family.

Hearing that he had also bullied Leon makes her heart thump with so much rage.

Since he has decided to bully her biological brother too, she has decided that she won't hold back, but destroy Damien as much as he wants to destroy her.

She smiles at Leon, nodding after she has given all of this a long thought.

“I have heard you, Leon.” She says. “Is it not the necklace you want? Then, I will get it back for you. For now, I have something else for you.”

    For the next week, Leon immerse himself into vigorous dedication to make sure that he save Nathan's life. He brings out all the research that he has ever done on cancer, and he gathers even more new information to help the young lad. At the end of five days, he has come up with an organic drug, which he presents to Doctor William for approval. Doctor William examines the drug in the small bottle, and also reads through the list of things used to make it. “This is quite simple and made from natural products. Are you sure that this will work?” Doctor William adjusts his glasses. “Hopefully, sir.” Leon nods. “I will administer it twice a day to Nathan, and I should see the results after three days. The cancer cells will start to die.” “That sounds good to me. If you are actually able to pull this off, you will give your career at least a decade headstart.” Leon doesn't allow this to get into his head. He is not in for the recognition, he wants to save a child's life. He starts th

    MJ and Leon are in a better mood when they return back to class, and the lecturer walks in. The lecturer for this class is Doctor William himself, and he is wearing his coat. They all know that they are going to be having a practical class today. “Good morning, young Doctors.” He says. “Good morning, Doctor William.” They reply. “I'm happy to see your enthusiastic faces today. We are going to be having a lot of work because each of you will be assigned a patient, who you are to treat and report on for the next few weeks.” He gestures for one of the students to come forward, and soon, a paper with the information of their patients is being passed to the respective doctors. “Read through it carefully. You will be meeting your patients shortly and remember, your graduation grade will depend heavily on this.” Leon scratches his head and strains his neck to look around. It seems that he is the only one that didn't get a paper. MJ excitedly reads through hers. “Mine is a expectant

    The past few days have been very chaotic. Helen's family secret is out to Jonathan Jones, MJ thinks that her friend is an abusive opportunist, and Leon can't get over the fact that he almost died (his leg is healing quickly though). MJ walks into the class with a stiffness around her shoulders. She is clutching her bag a little closer, because of her fresh anxiety. She first sees Damien, sitting down very slanted and he whistles and waves at her cheekily. Then she sees Leon, and her heart skips a couple of beats. His face breaks into a smile. “MJ, you are a bit of an early bird today.” He jokes. He takes his bag away from the chair next to him, so that she can sit with him. She doesn't want to be rude, so she just smiles and accepts his kind gesture. Leon is writing some notes already, even though the bell hasn't gone off, and classes haven't started. “How interesting is salmonella?” He mutters as he writes in his book. “It can be gotten from mayonnaise.” “Did you abuse your

    Selina and MJ goes to a bar to have a drink, but the air around them is so awkward. MJ is not used to being in bars or clubs. She is not a party kind of person, so she is very conscious of herself and all the eyes on her. She clears her throat to draw the attention of the bartender. “I'll have a bloody Mary, please.” Selina chuckles. “I see why Leon likes you, you are a soft girl.” “You don't know the first thing about me, Selina.” MJ shakes her head. “You're Leon’s new girlfriend, that I know.” Selina says with a twinkle in her eyes. MJ just sighs. The truth is that she just said it because she wanted to bail Leon from an embarrassing situation, and they haven't been able to talk about it fully till now. Plus her father and brothers’ weird behavior towards him and the stress from final year, they don't have the time for this. MJ pushes her drink away from her a bit. “Look, the only reason I agreed to this is because I barely know anything about Leon. If you can't help me, may

    Selina is angry at Damien's sisters. She is coming into their family, and for them to welcome her fully, they were supposed to take her shopping abroad for her wedding dress, but they threw an Amex card at her and told her to do whatever she likes! Who do they think they are to treat her like that? Do they realize that once she gets married to their baby brother, that she will become the single most important woman in that family? “Ignore them, Selina. They are busy making sure that the wedding is going to be the biggest in the city.” Damien pacifies her. “Is that why they couldn't take out one weekend to go wedding dress shopping with me in Paris?!” Damien sighs, almost with an impatient tone. “Go with your mum. Money is not a problem, so you girls can have a nice time.” This calms her down a little bit, she twirls a strand of her hair around her finger. “Alright, baby. Then when do we start to look at houses to pick one for after we are married?” She asks him. “Baby, I tol

    Leon thinks that he has died and the white room he is lying in is heaven, but he opens his eyes to see Helen standing by his side. It's a private hospital room. Her eyes are wet, and she is sniffling to keep back the rest of her tears. As soon as she sees that he is awake, she grabs his hands and buries her face in his chest. “I thought I lost you, baby brother. I am so sorry, I should have protected you.” She sobs. Leon is still very much in pain, but he also hates to see his sister crying. He forces a smile to show her that he is fine. “Come on, sis, it wasn't that bad. It's just a little scratch. Give me a few days, and I will be as good as new.” Helen takes her head back to behold the bruises on his face yet again. ”It's not that bad?” Her eyes grow dark. “Your left leg is in a cast, and you are saying that it's not that bad?!” “Helen–” Leon chuckles. “I'm going to find whoever did this to us, and I will make sure that they pay.” Helen swears. “They have no idea how muc
