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

    Rachel burst out laughing, her son always had an evil imagination of her. She laughed out loud until tears began rolling down her cheeks.Daniel and Craig kept staring at her, waiting for a reply. Rachel realized they were waiting for a reply and abruptly stopped laughing. She wiped her tears and told the two men to get in.But they both stayed glued to the door; they first wanted to hear her reasons."No, I am not a serial killer. Why on earth would you think that of your mother?""Mom, then why do you have such a room? What is it used for?" Rachel scratched her head, her eyes fixed on Daniel, who was taking in the contents of the room."As I said, I have never been in this room for sixteen years, so do not think of me like I am some kind of vile serial killer," she snapped and pushed them in, closing the door behind her."You should both stop acting like little sisies!" She glared at them."What happened sixteen years ago that forced you to seal the room?" Daniel asked."Are we go

    Seated in a cold cell with no hope for visitors, Michael Meyers sat on his little bed with a straining jacket that was put on him to prevent him from hurting himself or anyone else.He had lost count of how many days he had been locked up in the small, solitary cell with no human contact after he tried to hurt himself and his roommate.They were only removing the jacket when it was time for him to eat or use the bathroom. He could not believe how he ended up in such a despicable place with no one out there remembering him or visiting.No one remembered him; not once did he receive a call or a visit. Not even Shelly; he had expected her to at least go and laugh or taunt him, but nothing for the past weeks. Not even his former business partners or workers. The only person that he ever saw was his guard, who informed him of his coming trial in a few days. He was only looking forward to that because he was finally going to see the woman who betrayed him. A woman that he once loved all hi

    Daniel, who was standing on the staircase, rubbed his temples. Rexa was yet to pop back into his head, but talking and relaxing with Craig back there was very soothing for him. He was not in the mood to stop a crazy woman on a killing spree.Josh turned and found a gun pointed at him. Unlike last time, when she was unsure and shaking a bit, this time she had a strong grip on the gun and was smiling.Craig quickly ran in between the two, yelling at his mother to stop the madness."He was present at Mateo's house; he is the only loose end left," she yelled back.Craig looked in Daniel's direction, waiting for him to pump some sense into his mother, but he just kept staring at the situation like he was bored."Daniel, say something!"Josh turned, realizing Daniel was also in the house. It appeared he had walked himself into a trap."My brother knows I am here; if anything happens to me, he will make sure you all follow me to hell," Josh confidently yelled."That's great so that when he c

    Josh held his chest in shock; he could feel life slipping away from him as he raised his blood-soaked arm. He knew he would die but he never pictured getting shot as his way to his death.Daniel quickly crawled inside the house and pushed the door with his legs, closing it shut while Rachel dove for her son the second she heard the gunshot, landing both of them hard onto the floor.All four lay on the floor.Daniel quickly crawled to Josh's side and placed pressure on his wound."HE IS GOING TO DIE!" Rexa warned.Daniel looked at a very terrified Josh as blood kept coming out of his mouth."Mom, did you shoot him?" Craig asked, scared.Rachel could only wish she was the shooter."The bullet came from outside!" Daniel corrected."Ooh my God, Mateo's men!" Rachel moved away from her son and crawled to switch off the lights."Not Mateo's," Daniel replied as he tilted his head, trying to hear if the sniper was still outside. He was in the house from across the street. He was on the phone,

    "Of course these big mansions have cameras!" Gabriel yelled, breaking the awkward stammering.Rachel glared at him, wondering whether the fool had a brain or not. If the police investigated and found out about the sniper, he would go down before anyone in the room."Where is the surveillance room, Mrs. Nash?" The policeman asked.Rachel chuckled, "I am not sure..." She tried to lie, but her son quickly got in."In the room, to your left corridor," Craig replied.His mother turned to roll her eyes at him."This place is massive; why don't you have security guards?" The policeman asked."Finances; that's why I am fucking Josh," Rachel replied with a straight face. The policemen looked at each other while Gabriel was tempted to slap the living hell out of her."This way," Craig led the way; he knew the sniper that was hired was a professional and obviously turned off all the cameras surrounding the neighborhood, including theirs, so as not to leave any evidence.The policemen followed C

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.

    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
