Damien laughs as he kisses her forehead. She is so tough, and he loves her for it.

“Don't worry, we will punish Leon Smith soon. We can even throw him into jail, but right now, we have some catching up to do.”

She catches the cue. She tosses her phone away, and they both crash against the bed.

They are making out heavily, but suddenly, Selina seems to be losing interest. Damien notices this, so he stops for a second.

“What's the problem now, my love?”

“I can't go back to being unconscious.” She sighs. “I need that drug everyday. How can I get it every day when it's not even out in the market? It's not for sale!”

Damien laughs. “Come on, Selina. I'm the heir of the Shankly empire, my sisters won't say no to me. I can get a million of those from my sister, Helen, you don't have to worry.”

Her worried face breaks into a smile. She snakes her hands around him. “That's why I love you so much. I've missed you!”

Leon can barely see, because Damien hit him severally in his eyes.

It doesn't help that the rain is falling so aggressively, but Leon knows that he has to leave.

He doesn't have a cent in his pocket, but he is very sure that if he keeps putting one foot in front of the next, he will get to his mother's apartment in a few hours.

He doesn't know what he is going to tell her when he gets there, or how he will explain his injuries.

He will also have to tell her that she might die if he doesn't find a job quickly, because the Xavier family has cut off the financial assistance to them…

Leon sighs as he wonders why God has turned his back on him. He doesn't deserve so much sadness in his life…

Leon is thinking so deeply, and the rain is not helping too, so he doesn't see the black Rolls Royce speeding in the rain.

By the time Leon notices what's happening, the car has hit him, and thrown him against a tree. Leon is so weak from everything, that he passes out.

The driver's door opens, and he rushes to Leon.

“Excuse me, sir?” He tries to check for a pulse.

A beautiful lady in a perfect suit and the latest Christian Louboutin heels. It's the same pretty lady from the hospital. Helen Shankly.

“Callus, is he dead?!” She yells over the rain.

“I don't think so, Miss Shankly, but he is badly hurt. Please, don't get yourself wet from the rain. Remain in the car, I will take care of this!”

But she can't do that, because she is a doctor, and if that man is terribly hurt, she has to save his life. His face turns, and she gasps with recognition.

“It's you!” She whispers.

Her driver tilts his head. “You know him, Miss?”

Helen exhales. “This is not the time for questions. Thank God he is still alive. Take him into the car, we are taking him to my hospital.”

Callus frowns. “I can just call the ambulance, Miss Shankly. You have to get to the airport, you have to get to your meeting as soon as possible.”

She shakes her head even before he is done. “That's an order, Callus. Call my assistant and cancel the meeting, I will personally treat this poor man.”

Callus sighs. He can't argue because she is his boss. As he moves the man, Helen feels her heart skip a beat once now, she sees his face in full.

His face, it's mysteriously familiar to her. She is sure that she hasn't seen this face before, but she is just drawn to it.

He has her lips, and the nose of her younger twin sisters.

She feels her heart racing in her chest as she reaches for his left hand and there it is! The very unique birthmark that her parents' last child had at birth.

It's a small star, and the twins joked that it was because he's the star of the family.

Is this her brother that has been missing for more than two decades?! She wasn't wrong when she saw him at the hospital!!

    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? You know that y
