Cathy began panicking as she tried to grab the phone away from Daniel. But he got out of bed and asked her to calm down as he tried to think."She is going to kill herself!" She cried out. "You have to help her! You have to help her!""Cathy, calm down; I know," Daniel replied, pressing on his temple.Cathy quickly held his hands."Call her back, call her; maybe if she hears my voice she will come back to her senses," she pleaded."Cathy, no, the plan is not over, and she is with Josh, whom I do not trust right now," Daniel explained."What do you mean?" She asked "I thought it was Josh Hamilton that helped you run away all those years ago," she asked."It's a long story; I will come and explain later, but Josh knowing that you are alive is very dangerous," he explained and laid her down to take a seat.Cathy was more confused; it looked like there were a lot of things that Daniel was hiding from her."Just trust me, and I will solve this," he replied."What are you going to do?" "I
The office became hot for Josh as he loosened his tie. The boy had just made a checkmate move that he did not see coming or expect.Either, he cleaned up the mess or Biopharm goes in to smock just like Daniel did with Lidigo. He got up and walked out of the room fuming. His entire face was red. He still had the magnet but they were still making modifications.Daniel watched the man with a smile. He was used to seeing a calm and collected Josh Hamilton, but the man he was seeing was in a panicked mood. He wondered what he was doing at Mateo's in the first place when he was never an associate, which could only mean he had gone to snitch after learning about the attack on his company.Daniel smirked as he leaned on his chair, waiting for the man to make the call he was waiting for. But instead, the man began walking around the mansion like a lost puppy."DANIEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Rexa asked."I had no choice," Daniel tried to explain."THE MACHINE THAT YOU FORCED ME TO HIDE WILL HAV
"Ooh, okay, thank you, Rexa," Daniel replied, not knowing what to say. He was expecting her to continue nagging about how he was favoriting Cathy instead of her, but to his surprise, she switched back to seriousness and finally gave him the information he needed."Are we cool, now?" He asked."HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SIGN THAT CONTRACT WITHOUT HURTING ME?" She asked, ignoring his question."Ooh, that, hibernation, like you did last time," he replied."BUT THAT WILL MAKE YOU SLOW, AND YOU WON'T SENSE THE DANGER, IN CASE JOSH HAS A PLAN B?" She warned him."Do not worry about me; I will figure that out. Take a break; you need it," Daniel replied, getting into his shower.After he was done, he called the lawyer to draft the contract and said goodbye to Cathy, who was still giving him the uncomfortable look. He knew she was more worried about the name Rexa than him biting her.He drove to a pharmacy and got all the supplies that Shelly needed, then drove to his mansion.He walked in and foun
The room became cold; tempers raised. No one planned to be in such a complicated situation when they woke up, but it appeared destiny brought them to the mansion, and if emotions were going to be used, more bodies were going to be riddled with bullets.Rachel and Josh glared at each other, ready to shoot, while Daniel sat in his chair, taking a bite of the pizza that tasted like paper.He noticed Rexa's hibernation placed some strain on a number of his senses. He had no idea if it was all the senses, but taste and eyesight were giving him problems.He rubbed his temples, feeling a little dizzy; it was like a part of him was missing."Are you just going to sit there and watch them shoot each other?" Mateo whispered."That's their choice to make; the two are old enough to be grandparents," Daniel joked. "Besides, if they both kill each other, it will be easier to clean up this mess and claim one died protecting you," he smiled.Both Josh and Rachel stared at him, pissed."You think this
Daniel quickly drew him in for a hug, thanking God Mateo did not hurt him. He held him tighter as if he was squeezing him leaned towards his ear."You are one lucky old man; I could have framed you with the murders and gotten away with it," he whispered, then let go of him with a smile."Please take him to the hospital and give him the best medical care," Daniel said to the paramedic.Josh kept staring at him in deep shock, trying to figure out what Daniel had used to knock him out or how he got Mateo on his team.Gabriel rushed into the house, yelling, "Where is my brother?" As soon as Daniel saw him, he moved into another room and quickly got out of the building. He had already given his statement to the police and already matched stories with Mateo, so there was no time to waste with the Hamiltons. It was going to be Josh's words against Mateo's. He got in his car and drove straight to the hidden apartment.Inside the mansion, Gabriel ordered the paramedics to get off his brother
"Mom….mom…" Cathy called out, but to her shock, the phone went black on her. She tried to switch it on but to no avail. She pressed the switch button over and over again then realized the battery was obviously low. She quickly began searching for the charger in Daniel's things but could not find it. She was very aware Daniel was going to be pissed at her, but the suspense was killing her. With Mateo in prison, she was free now and was sure Daniel would take her to her family in the morning. She looked for the dumb charger everywhere it was nowhere to be found. Waking up Daniel, who was now snoring, was not an option. Tired, she took a seat on the bed. It was refreshing to hear her mother's voice after a month of pretending to be dead. But she wanted to hug and talk to her.Meanwhile, Rachel kept yelling her daughter's name but then realized the call was off.She tried calling again, but the phone was off. "You heard her right! You heard Cathy?" She asked Craig, who was staring at
Josh and his brother arrived home in silence; they had turned on the radio to listen to updates on Mateo's arrest as they pondered their next move.Everything was a mess; they never expected Daniel to be such a pain in the ass. The plan was perfect and simple; Daniel was not supposed to return from Israel. Kendall was supposed to follow him, the two falling in love and producing an heir with Relic in his system.But that perfect plan was just a fairy tale, and Josh was on the brink of losing everything.They both entered the mansion, lost in thought. Josh stopped and turned."Ooh, you said you have been trying to reach me?" He asked.Gabriel scratched his head. "It's Kendall; she is not in her room," he replied."What? Have you tried calling her?""Her phone is in her room, we checked everywhere but she is nowhere to be found.," Gabriel explained. "I initially thought she was with you, and that's why I kept calling you."Josh quickly ran to Kendall's room; the last time he saw her was
Daniel looked at his phone, in disbelief; he had just saved the woman from going down for murder, but there she was, making demands in an ordering tone.But on second thought, he wondered what she meant by a hidden room in her mansion. It never occurred to him to check out her mansion. He was always aware that she was a badass; now he just confirmed that she was a murderer and also had a soundproof room in her mansion.A cold shiver ran down his spine. The woman always managed to scare him. He caught up to Cathy, who was waiting impatiently.He walked back to Cathy and she quickly ran into his arms and apologized, "I am so sorry, Daniel; I didn't mean to be disrespectful; I just wanted to hear her voice and make sure she was fine," she cried out.Daniel held her tighter, "Cathy, patience is how you defeat an enemy; what if it wasn't Rachel on the other end of the line?" He asked."I know, I am stupid and will definitely get you into trouble or get myself killed." "Exactly, I know you
A week threw by with Daniel going back to his life and concentrating on his companies. He had a lot of pending projects that he needed to start and finish.He was aware that there were a lot of questions about the partner or who took his sperm, but life had to go on. He and Rexa needed to start doing what they were intended to do and changing a lot of lives. Though Josh's issue kept nagging him. The man was yet to decide whether to walk or save his brother. Cathy also went back to her old life; clearing her death certificate was not that difficult, though the country was shocked by the turn of events. She took the initiative and moved into Daniel's mansion, even though her mother was against it. But she felt Daniel was too slow and that he was going to lose his concentration on their relationship and instead focus on the company.Carol did not mind, Cathy was good company even though her stay meant constant visits from Rachel who was too annoying and violent for her liking.As for
Daniel placed both the heart and the brain in different cooler boxes, took two long trips to different parts of the country, and buried them both in different locations.His wish was for the old man to never see the sun or daylight again and for the stories of his existence to be a mere myth and forgotten with time.Once he was done, he instructed Rexa to delete the memory of the location in his head. Even Rexa went for it and deleted hers too si that Daniel's future generation would never locate the two organsHe went back for his body and burnt it while Max and his mother's bodies were taken back to the underground lab for the police to find, and the cause of death was ruled as lead poisoning from the leakage from the mine due to the blackout. By the time he headed home, it was morning, and all he wanted was to get some good sleep. He went straight to his mansion and found Aunt Carol on her feet, training her legs."It's over now, we can now pop that champagne," he announced.Aunt
"If you want to live, stay calm and answer her questions!" Daniel warned them.He knew he was no longer in control, and Rexa was controlling everything using her own mind.Max tried to move his aching body across the room. Everything hurt; he felt like he had been tossed by an elephant on thorny rocks.Daniel moved closer to the bed, curious to see what Rexa was earlier calling a non-living thing."Move away from him!" Angela yelled at him.But he ignored her and was meant with a greyish-blackish tone of mass. It was human from the shape of the head and body, but the skin looked like it was about to rot but paused.He gulped as if he were about to vomit; it was not smelling, but the sight was nauseating."How dare you?" The old man yelled at him."What the fuck is this?" Daniel asked, looking in Angela's direction, but she looked away."A MAN THAT REFUSED TO DIE," Rexa popped up, "AND I THINK HIS CONDITION HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE TOOK ON THAT SHIP," she added."Shit, I guess
"What did you just say?" Daniel asked."RODRICK IGRAM IS ALIVE, YOUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER'S FRIEND, THE ONE THAT DIED," Rexa replied.Daniel shook his head, "That's impossible, how old was my grandfather when he first found you?" "18 YEARS OLD, SAME AGE AS RODRICK.""So that means Rodrick was born in 1807, and that would make him over 200 years old.""DANIEL, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS; HE HAS TENS OF NEEDLES STICKING OUT OF HIS BODY, IT'S HIM; I KNOW IT'S HIM," Rexa replied.Inside the lab, Max called for backup and tried to get the magnates working, but without electricity, they were useless."She is here," his grandfather whispered."Who?""The relic, she is here," he replied with glittering eyes.Max quickly checked his camera footage and asked his men to search for Daniel, but they could not find anything."That's impossible, Daniel is nowhere near here.""She can manipulate sound or any form of matter, so do not expect to see Daniel near here," his grandfather laughed.Max
"Anyone try to touch those guns and I swear, I will blow off their heads!" He warned on top of his voice.Rachel stared at him, shocked, while Cathy and Craig held each other's hands and moved to the other corner.Daniel removed his phone and made a call, instructing someone to come and guard the house. He ended the call and looked in Rachel's direction."Please stay in this house, and I will deal with everything," he assured her."You have no right to threaten me," she finally replied. "Actually I do, or maybe you want me to snap Mateo back into reality, and believe me, he still has men outside prison who he can hire and take you out!" Daniel warned.Rachel began biting her lips as all her words disappeared from her lips. Daniel just threatened her, he threatened her in front of her children."Mom, just do what Daniel is asking you to," Cathy finally spoke."Quiet!" Rachel yelled, breathing heavily."Watch what will come out of your mouth, because I am ready to make you sleep until
When morning came and news of George Meyers' arrest was all over the news. Daniel, who had not slept because of the tunnel below Max's hospital, sat next to his aunt, who was in tears.Finally, the day she had always hoped for came after her five years in a coma, but it was worth the sleep. She held her nephew's hand with tears in her eyes."You did it," she whispered. "Your parents are looking down happily on their son."Daniel smiled at her."I will pop the wine after I get the head behind the order," he replied."Did you talk to Max?" She asked.Daniel analyzed her question, "Did you know about his real parents?" He asked."He confessed when I was in my coma," she replied. "I hope you understand he is just a victim of his family's greed.""I know we talked, though I had to kidnap him in order to make him talk," he confessed."What? Please tell me you did not hurt him." "Of course not; he is fine," Daniel assured her.Cathy, who was taking a shower, finished up and joined them."Gr
Daniel slowly took a seat, trying to process everything. His best friend was Max's half-brother. He stared long and hard at him. There was a little resemblance physically and even in the way they carried themselves with the "I do not care" attitude, though Max was a total jerk if one did not know him personally.Zain was a more free type compared to Max, who always seemed to be above others. It was only after some time that he eventually warmed up. He wondered if that was part of the plan so that he could not suspect anything.He had a lot of questions in his head and a lot of memories kept popping up, but he could not comprehend the fact that the partner was around him all this time and neither George nor Josh or Gabriel suspected anything."Are you the one that shut down power at the Jerk's hospital?" Zain asked, trying to snap him out of his thoughts."Yeah, there is a private elevator in the hospital that leads underground, right?" Daniel asked."Tell me where Kendall is, and I wi
Craig's heart began beating fast, and he was not sure how to react. The old man was sick in the head. He had held the man in high esteem, but knowing the man personally, made him want to vomit.First, he forced his niece to have sex against her will, and when that was not enough, he even went further and stole sperm from the man he drugged her with."Are we together?" Josh asked.Craig cleared his throat."Does Daniel know about this sperm?" Craig finally asked."No…," Josh replied. "This is about freeing your sister, but if you want, you can tell Daniel and ruin your chances.""This is betraying Daniel!" Craig raised his voice. "What kind of person are you?""Does Daniel know about the contract you signed with the partner?" Josh asked with a smile.Craig looked away."So what you are doing is not betraying, but what I am doing is betraying?" He asked. "If I am not correct, I would guess that you are going to allow Daniel to have a child that will be owned by the partner?" He asked.
Daniel clenched his shaking hand, realizing how deep the betrayal was. A voice deep inside of him told him to go upstairs and confront them, but another voice told him to stay calm and use his head."WE FOUND THE PARTNER, DANIEL," Rexa whispered in excitement. "THIS EXPLAINS HOW ZAIN KNEW ABOUT THE RELIC FROM CHILDHOOD," she added.Daniel closed his eyes; he was not as excited as she was. He was somehow disappointed and not impressed that it turned out to be Max's family.But he was going to give credit where it was due. They hid perfectly in plain sight and knew when to show their faces. "WHAT'S THE PLAN?" Rexa asked, eager to take Max down."Shut down the building!" Daniel replied"WHAT?" Rexa was a bit confused."Electricity, Internet, I mean everything, shut it down!" He ordered"DANIEL, THIS IS A HOSPITAL, AND PEOPLE WILL DIE," Rexa warned."That's where generators come in," he replied, his tone a bit shaky. "DANIEL, WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH LIVES," Rexa warned.Daniel
