“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.”

    Leon has put everything together, and Leon feels like a heavy bag of cement has been dropped on him. Kator is more doomed than Leon ever thought. He would have thought that the people who are supposed to protect the people are the ones that are causing so much trouble for them. MJ hears Leon only breathing at the other end, and her heart jumps. “Leon, are you still there?” she wonders. “I am here, MJ.” He replies to her. “We have to help all of them.” “With the gold serum?” She asks. “Yes,” Leon nods. This is the divine way he went about making the drug so powerful that he contemplated on even making it. Now he can see the people of Kator as the reason why he has made it. He is going to save all of them, even if the whole of the government is standing against him. His sister is the richest person on the planet, but perhaps his family's money might not be able to buy him complete immunity this time around. Well, all he knows is that he is going to help the people of Kator,

    The driver watches Leon as if he is a helpless goat that is being led to the slaughter house. Leon drives after the men, in their pickup truck, and they even fire some shots into the air. Leon braces himself for the worst, because when he planned on coming to Kator, he made sure to do his research and he found a lot of strange things about Governor Baron. He is the only Governor that is related to the president, and the past two presidents, and that just shows how influential he has been. He has defied the constitution many times because he has contested and won as Governor of Kator for fifteen years and no one dares to say anything. He has also diverted a lot of public funds for himself, and anyone who dares to bring it up or start a protest will just go missing very suddenly. People have either quietly lived under his tyrant rule, or they have chosen to leave Kator for the sake of their sanity. As soon as they approach the gates, Leon feels an easy feeling in his stomach.

    Five dead bodies, that's how many are being wheeled to the cemetery as Leon drives by in his newly purchased car. He can't help but feel an unease in his spirit, it's like there is a dark cloud that has settled in this place, long before he came here. He gets to the temporary station where the hospital is going to be temporarily situated before the permanent place is ready. This place is just a few minutes away from the hospital. Leon was able to send planes all around the world to gather his Doctors and nurses, who were supposed to work with him starting next two months. Unfortunately, the dire situation of the Kator people has forced them to move the date rather forward. They are already in their uniforms, waiting for him like motivated soldiers.To Leon, they are just as brave as soldiers because they have sacrificed a lot to be here right now. They have left their families, their lives, their partners, to come and work in a state that is the poorest in the country. Leon is

    As soon as they touch down in the city, the ambulance is already waiting for them to take Johnny and his mother to the hospital. They have been able to give him something to reduce his pain drastically, and he has fallen into a peaceful sleep. This is Johnny's mum’s first time entering a plane, but she can't even enjoy the moment because she is holding her breath as she is holding her baby boy. As soon as the plane touches ground, Helen goes over and touches Johnny's mum's shoulder. “Mrs Smith, we are here now.” Helen says to her in the most soothing voice. “The ambulance is waiting outside. We are going to help your son.” She is gently rocking back and forth as she looks at her son's peaceful face. “Is my son dead?” “What? No. He is a champ, and he is still holding on to life. Such a brave boy.” Mrs Smith looks at Helen with tears in her eyes, but a contrasting smile on her face. “Can I tell you the truth? I appreciate the fact that you people want to help my boy, but I don't

    None of them expected for Kator to be worse than they thought. As soon as they step out of the plane, even the air is different. Empty, desolate. The workers go around, dragging their feet on the ground and with their backs hunched, as if they are all suffering from the same malady. Two cars have been arranged for them, and the drivers are waiting by them, dressed in suits that have been ironed to a crisp. They bow to them as they step out of the plane, but Cameron can't help but ask. “Are both of you coincidentally sick?” He asks. “Why didn't the company send others and allow you people to rest?” One of the drivers laughs, but even his laughter is weak. “Oh, sir, we actually get that question a lot in Kator. We are not actually sick.” The man explains. “It's just the way the town is. And it has been this way for a very long time.” Since Cameron and the rest are Doctors, they know that there is nothing normal about the way the men look. “Have the department of health looked

    The whole room becomes as quiet as a graveyard. It is not because Leon has decided that he is going to move to Kator and cather to one of the poorest people in the world, but because the place is too poor and dangerous. MJ and Leon are the last born of their respective families, and that means that everyone is super protective of them. How can they be protective when they want to go so far away? “Leon, are you talking about Kator, which is in the north of the country? Or there is another Kator that we are not aware of.” Leon laughs. “You are on the right track, I am talking about Kator, which is in the northern part of the country. We are very excited and I will be going there this weekend to check on a property that we want to build our hospital on.” “It's going to be huge, everyone!” MJ says with the excitement of a child. “Can you imagine the kids growing in the countryside and running around the fields?” “MJ, why do you two have to be the ones to do that?
