“Don't worry, I have already signed the divorce papers.” Leon says to him.

“Good!” Damien chuckles. “And I don't want you to ever come back here to beg for my wife's love!”

This last statement angers Leon because how can this man call Selina his wife when it was Leon that nursed and took care of her for three years?!

“Your wife?!” Leon throws his bag down. “Are you dead ass right now?! I was the one who nursed her back to this state for three years, while you ran away like a fucking coward!”

Damien smirks and pushes his hair away from his face.

“Well, it's not your sister that made the miracle drug that has given her back her consciousness for the first time in three years.” He tells him. “Don't ever compare me to your useless self, you stupid boy.”

“Fuck you.” Leon yells at him. “You are never going to be a real man! You will never be Selina's true husband!”

Leon is so upset that he couldn't stop himself. Running his mouth makes Damien boil with rage, and this makes him give Leon a powerful kick in his chest.

“Uhhh!” Leon projects into the air, before falling painfully on his side.

Leon feels a crushing pain run through his body, he can't stand up.

Damien comes over to him and looks him in the face. “You dare insult me, boy?”

He stomps Leon in his face over and over again. It's gut wrenching, even Selina feels like she wants to throw up because of the bloody sight.

Leon is too weak to defend himself, and it's not because he is a weak coward, it's because he has been starved by the Xavier family for so long that he can't fight. He is too weak and underfed.

His malnourished hands are held up to shield his face, but not a single part of his body is spared from this assault.

When Damien is done with Leon, he can barely move on the ground, as the pulsating pain moves around his body.

Damien chuckles wickedly to himself, he then goes over to spit on Leon in the face.

“Stupid boy. Next time you should know how to speak to the heir of the Shankly family. My sisters would have you killed for this if I tell them!”

Selina and her mother laughs and clap their hands for Damien. Even though all the servants look horrified by what they have seen.

To them, Damien has proven himself to be the strongest man, by beating Leon up. He will be the best husband.

Selina rushes and gives him a big kiss. “My strong white knight. Look how you have disciplined that bastard boy!”

“I have recorded the video of this!” Victoria boasts. “I will post it on my social media.”

“Yes, Mrs Xavier. The entire world needs to see how much of a fool Leon Smith is.” He glares at him.

Leon is barely moving, but Damien is not done, he goes over to him and snatches off the necklace from his neck.

Leon gathers the last of his strength to beg this wicked man. “Please, no. Take anything you want, beat and spit on me again, but don't take my pendant.”

Damien laughs and holds it up. “This cheap thing? Yeah, I'm going to flush it down my toilet. It's not worth more than a pebble.”

But Leon won't lose the only thing connecting him to his biological family. He manages to stand up and limps towards Damien.

“Mister Shankly, that pendant means a lot to me. I would rather die than allow you to leave with it.”

Damien tilts his head. “I didn't beat you hard enough the first time? Do not worry, I will kill you this time around!”

Leon doesn't care, he is ready to die for his pendant, so he holds his shaking hands up, ready to swing.

Selina won't look at this anymore, she walks over to Leon and gives him a slap on his bloodied face.

“Have you lost your freaking mind?! Damien is a black belt, he is going to break every bone in your body! You have embarrassed my family and my future husband, Mister Damien. You just bow very deeply now and apologize.”

Leon is flabbergasted. “Excuse me? Didn't you see all that he did to me?”

“And you deserved every bit of it!” She rolls her eyes. “Hurry and apologize to the heir of the Shankly family, now!”

Victoria nods in agreement. “If you prove to be stubborn, Leon, then there won't ever be a chance for me to continue to pay your mother's medical bills. Apologize right now, or your precious mother dies.”

Leon feels a defeated feeling in his chest. He hates to admit it, but he needs the Xavier family's money.

He wants to stand his ground and say that he is the victim of this situation, but his mother… he can't risk her life.

So, even though he hates himself for this, he bows very deeply to Damien Shankly.

“My apologies, Mister Shankly. I should have behaved more respectfully towards you.”

    The first thing that Leon does when he sees Damien at the hospital, in his office, is to punch him in his face. Damien did not see that coming at all, and now he has a bloody nose. “What the hell, Leon?! Do you want me to beat you up again?!” He yells, wiping the blood before it stains his perfectly white shirt. “Alex Kane, really?! You would have been better off making a deal with the devil himself!” Leon fumes. “And what has that got to do with you?!” Damien slams him. “Helen doesn't deserve this! She worked so hard and you are going to ruin everything for her!” “You see, that's my problem with you, Leon. You don't know when to stop. I am an ambitious man, and your darling Helen and I have different visions, so it's not a surprise that we are taking different routes and trying to do our things. If you still want that head surgeon position, you better keep quiet and behave yourself.” Leon folds his hands. “Don't be so patronizing, Damien. You already promised Alex that you a

    Leon doesn't know how he was able to get back to the house in one piece. It's so late, and he is still in shock that he goes straight to the bedroom. He doesn't even bother turning on the light, he just takes off his shoes and jacket, before getting into bed. Immediately, he feels a warm body next to him, and he almost screams. He jumps out of the bed and turns on the light. “MJ?” He holds his hand over his forehead. “What– how did you get into here?” Only heaven knows how many hours she has been in his bed, because she seems so heavy with sleep. She must have been in here for hours. “Where have you been?” She whines as she rubs her eyes. “Work was exhausting today, and I missed you. You weren't picking up, so I came by to check on you, but you weren't here.” Of course the staff knows all of the Jones children and they probably didn't know that MJ never left. But the staff is not who Leon is worried about. He goes over to her and holds her chin in his hands. “Did Helen see you

    Alex pulls a chair and sits back down. His legs are crossed with ease, and there is a twinkle of interest in his eyes. “I have to tell you, this has got to be the most captivating thing to have come out of your rotten mouth.” He says. “And it's the truth, I swear to you.” Damien insists. Alex turns to look at Mister Jones. “Jonathan, you care to explain what this is?” Mister Jones steps forward and clears his throat. “I don't know.” “You don't know?” Alex huffs. “Your father instructed me to get rid of the Shankly son, and I did! I made him disappear, and it's not my fault that Helen thought of getting a replacement. She kept away from my family for years, and I never noticed that Damien was… adopted.” It's true, except there is a small white lie in that story. Mister Jones didn't kill the Shankly son. He took him and dumped in a lonely place, because he couldn't kill him. His adoptive parents (the Smith couple) adopted him, and they raised Leon. Alex just heaves and lets h

    Damien gets pushed into the wall, and several guns are pointed at him. “Alex, you can't do this! I'm sorry, man, but I need you to see things from my perspective!” He begs. “I didn't know that my sister stole my shares! This is not me trying to cheat you!” “Stop moving around like a worm, Damien. It would make cleaning up harder for my men.” “Please, Alex, just let go of him. He is just a kid, a stupid one, but he is harmless.” Mister Jones surprises everyone when he begs on Damien's behalf. “He is stupidly dangerous. He tried to sell a hospital that that girl worked so hard for. I will be doing her a favor by taking out this liability that is her brother.” Alex snorts. “But he has a wife and children on the way, Alex. Please, show him mercy and I assure you that he won't try this nonsense again.” Mister Jones press. He knows that there is a limit he could push this to, but he can only attempt to change Alex's mind. The last thing Helen needs is to mourn her adoptive brother.

    Damien turns into a coward immediately when he sees that Duke Scales has been killed in front of him. No wonder Helen has always maintained that Alex Kane is a very dangerous man. He immediately starts to sweat and his legs give way, so that he falls to the ground after a stagger. “Get a grip of yourself, Shankly, what's with this girlish behavior?” Alex Kane laughs with mockery. “Get up, son, this is not the time to get weak in the knees.” Mister Jones speaks. But Damien can't help it. One of Alex's men has to go and pull him up by the collar. “Don't shoot me, I was going to sell it to you anyways.” Damien raises his hands in surrender. “Duke Scales wasn't even offering that much money.” “Again, we will have to talk about this as proper business men. This is not the right place, so come with me.” Damien takes one look at the pooling blood and Duke's lifeless body. That's when it dawns on him that Alex doesn't care if one is from a very rich family. He has the connections a

    “You can't do that!” Damien frowns. “Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do?!” Do you realize that you are going to destroy the entire empire?! The shares might get into the wrong hands!” Damien snorts. “Then I will just go and start my own empire! How hard can it be?!”Leon bites the inside of his cheek, he wishes that he could slap Damien right now. “You would be a fool to think that I would allow you to do something stupid like that! Not only are you destroying yourself, you are also going to harm Helen and the twins!” “Well, if she had just stepped down, all of this wouldn't have happened. It's going to be mine either way, and not even you can stop me. I am the one who is going to make you the head Doctor, remember? You will keep your mouth shut if you still want that position.” Leon looks down and sighs. “Who are you selling to?” Damien snorts as he walks out. “Like I am going to tell you.” Leon wants to immediately go and tell Helen about this stupid plan of Da
