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!!

    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
