Ares shook his head for the umpteenth time, as Valarie took the last of her bag, he collected it from her and together they entered the car.She was in deep thought as they drove in silence.“What’s on your mind Valeria?”“Huh.” She smiled. “ Nothing, it all looks like a dream, I could never had believed I would leave there this soon.”Ares grinned. “It’s not a dream, it’s the reality.”“Thank you for all you’ve done for me, Ares.”“I've told you not to thank me so much, thank you for accepting to come to my place instead.”Valeria smiled. She had never thought of it and it still surprised her.She overheard from one of the nurses earlier in the day that Ares owned the hospital.No wonder she got everything she wanted without anybody questioning Ares.She looked at him, his glasses matched his oval-shaped face, his girlfriend would be lucky to have someone as caring as him.They soon got to his house; a bungalow, she really liked the atmosphere in the house.She wondered why he stayed

After Valerie had said goodbye to Sandra, she went back to her room while Ares drove his mother to the airport.Ares felt awkward after he overheard his mother’s conversation with Valerie, so instead of going back to the house, he went to the hospital.He later went home when it was getting late and checked up on Valerie.“Are you feeling better now?” He asked her as they watched a movie together.There had been awkwardness between them, as they watched and Ares decided to break the silence.“Yes, I can't believe my kids will be here in less than a month.”“Have you decided on their names yet?”“No, I will, when I hold them in my arms.”“That’s nice.” Silence again as they went back to the movie neither of them fully concentrating on it.Ares wanted to apologize to her for what his mother said, while Valerie wanted to let him know she valued their friendship and wouldn't want to spoil it with any intimate relationship.“Let's go out on a date.” The words spilled out of his mouth witho

Valerie didn't know why the journalist was adamant about the so-called Interview.She didn't know why Ares didn't suspect anything, he only felt worried but at the same time, he wanted his hospital name on the front page of the newspaper.In a few hours, the journalist would come, to confirm her suspicion, she was going to check him up on the Internet.She had thought of it, since the night before, she was going to unleash her past strength.It was time to bring back her game, the one she had thought she wouldn't have to use again.If her suspicion turned out to be real, she would have to help Ares, because he doesn't deserve to be blacklisted.***“Thank you for having me in your house, Doctor Ares.”“You're welcome.”Xavier said down, all the while smirking.“So, Mr. Xavier, which organization do you say you're from?”“XYZ ma'am.”Valerie nodded and gave him the go-ahead to continue with his business.“Doctor Ares, I must say your home is comfy.”“I appreciate it.”“So back to the b

"You have two choices. Either you publicly confess to the misdiagnosis and have your hospital shut down, or you lie and say that you did it intentionally. Either way, your reputation and career are ruined. The choice is yours. You have 24 hours to decide." Both Ares and Valerie looked stunned, and almost immediately the email got deleted, making it stiff for them to Re-read it.But they knew what he wrote, and that got them worried.“I never did it, it wasn't even a mistake, the person was brought in almost dead, and there was little or nothing we could have done to save him.”And now Liam was giving him 24 hours to confess to a crime he never committed.“If any scandal should occur in the hospital, my license might be revoked,” Ares said, squeezing his brow.Valerie was short of words, she knew how important the hospital was for Ares, and if they shut down the hospital, he wouldn't remain the same.She hoped Steven had some evidence to use against Liam. She headed to her room and lo

Valerie's fingers tapped anxiously on her phone screen as she messaged Steven about her illness. Almost instantly, his reply requested an audio call. Valerie complied, her voice tinged with relief and excitement as she shared her progress."I'm so happy with how everything is going," she said, the words laced with gratitude. "Do you think we can go public with the evidence now?"Steven, on the other end of the call, was cautious. "We need more than just evidence. We need people who can testify against him, firsthand witnesses to his manipulations."Ares, who had been silently listening, spoke up. "I want to know who Liam, the cunning journalist, is working with. There must be someone behind the scenes pulling the strings."Steven paused, as if considering how much to reveal. "Liam often receives anonymous emails from someone. I've been trying to trace them, but it's been challenging."A sudden message notification interrupted their conversation. Ares glanced at his phone, the screen
