After the dinner, Damien goes to his room and slams the door shut. To keep trouble at minimum, Helen gives Leon the room at the other side of the house. With this arrangement, Leon and Damien won't be able to see too much of each other. This is also the room that Leon used to stay in before he went missing at the age of one. Helen had made them quickly prepare the room, and now, she opens the door and they both walk into the room. “Woah…” Leon's jaw drops on the ground.The room is magnificent, and the bed is the biggest he has ever had! It's painted in his favorite colour too! He is mesmerized, he doesn't understand how his sister was able to put this together in the shortest time! “This is my room, Helen?” Leon holds his hands over his mouth. “You don't like it? Please tell me what you would like to change.” She asks. “What? Are you kidding me? It's perfect! It's bigger than any room I have ever had in my life! Hell, it's bigger than my mother's old apartment!” He is so hap

Damien suddenly feels as if his legs have turned to cooked spaghetti, and he immediately reaches for the wall to stop himself from falling. Did he hear well? Is this some sort of nightmare? “Leon Shankly?!” He looks from Leon to Helen. Helen sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. “Alright, who is hungry?” “I'm not eating till someone tell me what the fuck is going on!!!” Damien roars. “And we will discuss everything over dinner. Let's all go to the dining room, before the food gets cold.” *****Damien doesn't even touch his food, but Helen and Leon seem to have an excellent appetite. Damien is furious that Leon, a common nonentity, is eating at his table, and his sister is trying to pretend like this is normal or something. The truth is that Helen and Leon have had a long discussion about this, and how they are going to handle it….“Damien, why haven't you touched your food?” Helen asks. “Because this fool is eating at my table.” He murmurs. “And why has he suddenly cha

Seeing that she can go to prison, Zoe immediately falls on her knees and starts to beg. “Please, Doctor Shankly, you can't do this to me!” She cries. “My mother is a sick woman, and I have to work in this country to be able to send her money home! Slap me, hit me, but don't hand me over to be jailed!” Helen bends till she is almost eye level with Zoe. “This is not because you called me a golddigger and a prostitute. This is because of Leon, and everything terrible that you have done to him. For that, I won't forgive you.” Helen turns to the police and hands them her card that holds her information. “I'm Helen Shankly, and this lady here assaulted this gentleman here, both verbally and physically. I was also assaulted by her verbally. My friend is the head of the police, so I will pursue this case and make sure that she gets the maximum punishment for assault.” “Assault?!” Zoe wails. “Leon, please tell her that I barely touched you! I was just joking with him, I am his friend! Leon

Leon is stricken with shock because this woman standing in front of him used to join Mrs Xavier to downgrade him because he was nothing but a poor son-in-law and the caretaker of comatosed Selina Xavier. Now, she gives him the familiar snarl that she has been used to throwing in his face. “Oh, Leon, I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but your familiar old shoes confirmed it was really you.” She huffs. Even though she is being very cold to Leon, he won't be giving her the same treatment. “Oh, Zoe! Are you back in the country again? When did you get back? Did you see that Selina is now well?” “Oh, I did, and I am glad that she has this sense to leave you because you have nothing to offer her! Very soon, she will be the happy wife to one of the richest heirs in the city!” she jests at him. “Maybe her rich husband is going to even arrest you for stealing one million dollars from the family accounts!” “One million dollars?!” Leon frowns. “Zoe, I never stole even a cent from the Xav

The old man wasn't expecting this at all. “Please, sir, please don't make me do that. I have a terrible knee, and I haven't had enough money to pay for surgery–” “And you will starve to death if you don't have a job, so I suggest you do what my man has asked!” Selina glares at him. The man swallows a heavy lump, and looks around for anyone that will stand up for him. Everyone loves their job, and that means that even though they know that this is wrong, they are not going to say anything for the fear of losing their own job. How can this man say another word to defend himself? He is too poor to retire, and his poor wife is very sick. Even though he hates it so much, he slowly goes down to the ground to apologize. His join cracks in the process, and he whimpers. “Down all the way, old fuck!” Damien blasts him. The man, with painful tears, kneels down and kisses Selina on her feet. Selina looks around, grinning like she has won the lottery or something. She hugs Damien and gi

Selina is in Damien's office crying and wiping her nose with a piece of tissue paper. There are crumbled up used papers all around her, and she is almost done with the box. “This is a total nightmare! I can't be married to that stupid boy for another two months!” She weeps. Damien is staring out of the window with his hands in his pockets. His eyebrows are curved with worry. He is not the only one that is worried about this. He was able to get everything promised to him, because his sisters won't give him the greater part of the empire, except he gets married. When he had to pay his debtor, with a percent of the empire shares, he had to forge his sister's signature because he thought that she would forgive him after the marriage. Now that the marriage has been postponed, he might actually get into trouble with his sisters for what he has done. He hopes that the lawyer is going to be able to keep it a secret for two months…“What if your sister refuses to help me with the injec
