Unknown POV The smoke swirled round him as he took in large puffs. He looked down at the bodies of drunk men and women vibing to the crazy song played by the DJ. He made a mental note to keep ensure the DJ's stay. Three skinny girls made their way over to him where he relaxed on the couch in the VIP ward. He welcomed them with open hands while they massaged him and took care of him. His assistant made way to him and held his phone out. He assumed it was an important call because his assistant knew better than to disturb him now. "Hello,"his gruffy voice flowed through. "I need more time." When he heard the old man's voice,he waved his hands and the girls quickly scurried away. He stood up and made his way to the inner room where the noise of his club didn't reach. "What more time old man? I'm done with you. I need my money this week ending." The old man was still adamant. "My son is proving stubborn. I just need about two months more." I was tired of his excuses. "Listen here.Your son is a f*****g billionaire and I don't see why you can't ask him to clean up your little mess." The old man sighed. "He won't give me." I was shocked. "He's your son dammit! If he won't give you, I'll get it from him." The old man huffed."He's such a stubborn brat. He won't give you and you can't blackmail him. He has the highest security ever." I smirked. "Just watch me" "What do yo....?" I cut the call before he could question me to death. I handed the phone back to my sweating assistant. I needed that money. I won it fair and square from that cunny old man. I had him investigated when he didn't pay the money but the old man is penniless, apparently living on his son's money. I can't waste my time on him. I have to get it from his son anyhow. "Is there any suspicious activity on the side of his son?" My assistant,Gregory hesitated. "Answer me dammit." My emotions have been bubbling at the surface and if he doesn't talk now,I will wring his neck. Finally he opened his mouth."Apparently, he's not in the island for vacation purposes. He's a doctor, a gynaecologist specifically." I stroked the small scruffle at my jaw. "That's something he should be proud doing. Why would he keep it a secret from the media. I'm sure his old man doesn't even know. Did you find out how many months he would be there?" "I did try try...to findddd dd dd d out but the people working with him are tight-lipped." I looked at the stuttering mess of my assistant. "Continue watching him and report every of his activity to me. Make sure you're not conspicuous." I waved my hands at him and he scurried out. I took the whiskey bottle on the desk and swirled it,then took a sip. There's something fishy here. There must be something he's hiding if he doesn't want anyone knowing about his other occupation. But revealing it wouldn't do much.The man is a damn billionaire and with the snap of his fingers, he can control the media. The news would be squashed in no time. I need something bigger to get him bend to my will and I will find it. With that new resolve,I stood up and made my way to the noise of the club and called the girls over to continue their ministrations on me. I'm on the edge here. This will all vanish if I don't do anything anytime soon. That old man's son is the answer. Damien's POV. While driving to the hospital,I was consumed with guilt with the way I left Clarissa. I shook it off. Ineed to focus on the issue at hand Getting off the car. I ran to the emergency ward passing the crying mess of the patient's husband. I put on my scrubs and entered the room. There were about two doctors in the room and three nurses. One of the doctors was trying to resusticate the unconscious heavily pregnant woman on the hospital bed with a defibrillator. I scurried away to the side of the room so as not to announce my presence. It will distract them. My heart was beating hard as they applied the defibrillator to 80 joules and to my body's relief, they got a pulse. I made my out.Now we have to perform the surgery anytime soon unless the husband of the said woman will loose not just his wife but his twin children. I pulled my scrubs off and walked to the board room then called someone to inform other surgeons that I need their presence at the boardroom. I drank my coffee and waited for them After about two minutes,they all scurried in. I was seething as they settled down. "Now, I barked. Tell me what caused the patients heart failure? We have so much on our hands so what added to this?" I could tell that my voice was loud cause they flinched. I flinged the files off the table. "Answer me dammit!!!" Someone raised her hand.It was the assistant surgeon.A boisterous,noisy female brat. That,I gathered from observation. I sat down again."Yes?" Her expression turned guilty. "I'm at fault." "Explain yourself."I barked at her She gulped. "I I I wentttt In to do the regular check-up on the patient and the husband came in carrying fruits. The patient was sleeping at that time according to my speculation. The husband started a conversation with me ..... I already knew where this was going. She's so fired. I interrupted her. "Who gave you the write to discuss patient's matters with family relations????" She started sobbing. Others started looking at her with pity on their faces but I felt not an ounce of pity. She continued. Th th th ee e man looked so worried about about his wife's condition and he was asking for my honest review concerning her condition. I told him that either his wife or children wouldn't be able to make it. I didn't know when the wife woke up when we were conversing but I'm pretty sure she heard what I said cause she started hyperventilating and and sh she....." "You fired." I said abruptly. She stood up, sobbing and ran out of the office. I looked at the others. "Any of you try what she did again, you'll receive the same punishment." After that remark I stood up and made my way out but not after seeing their remorse expression. I made my way to my office. My head was aching and I'm in need of food.It was then I remembered that I hadn't eaten. And Clarissa, I sighed.Inspite of how I treated her this mornings, I really needed her to do me a favour. Afterwards I will apologise. After calling her and making my request known, I retired to the room in my office to just rest my head because sleep is out of question. Author's Note.
