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
Daniel sat in his office, which housed the hidden apartment. The place was parked with security cameras from every angle, and every floor had security guards. He was taking all the necessary measures, as it was not predictable how crazy Gabriel was going to act.He was still debating whether to pull the plug on him and send him to a mental hospital like he did George, but he was yet to take the stupid man's wealth. Running him mad would only benefit the wife, and everything would be transferred into her name, especially now that Josh was disabled."Fuck!" He cased"DANIEL, SHOULD I CONTINUE DESTROYING JOSH'S PROPERTIES?" Rexa popped up in his head, snapping him out of his thoughts."Ooh, no, that ship will sink on its own; our new target is Gaby," he replied.Unlike Josh, who was into Biotechnology, Gabriel Hamilton was into the transportation and hotel businesses. Sinking such types of businesses was more difficult, unlike in biotech, where he could sabotage the machines. And the w
Gabriel quickly let go of his brother's hand wondering whether he was on medication and if it was messing with his head. There was no way in hell he was going to look the other way and allow Daniel to live happily ever after, not when his brother was in a hospital bed.The door opened and the doctor walked in, "Mr. Hamilton, you should have informed the nurse that your brother was awake," the doctor stated as he walked in to check on Josh.Gabriel ignored the doctor, his attention fixed on his brother."Did you give my brother anything that would cause him to hallucinate?" Gabriel asked."No, is he hallucinating?" The doctor asked."Yes I think so," Gabriel replied."I am not hallucinating," Josh spoke up for himself. "My brother just doesn't like hearing things he does not agree with." "Mr. Gabriel, I think you should step outside, you are stressing your brother," the doctor warned.Gabriel raised his hands as if he was surrendering and walked out of the room. He needed some fresh
On the other side, Shelly finally packed up and was taken out of the mansion during the night after ensuring that no one was following her. To her surprise, she was taken to a train station and asked to get on board. She tried to get the guard talking, but he refused to say a single word. She had noticed that ever since Daniel warned him, he had barely said a single word to her. When he spoke, it was usually to give instructions or orders.She sat in the VIP cubicle looking at her watch and was visibly pissed. A lot of hours passed without Daniel's sight. She was about to call him when the cubicle opened and he walked in. "What took you so long?""Gaby has all my two companies tailed by men," Daniel replied with a smile. "Fortunately, he has no idea this train is mine and it stops right under one of my companies."Shelly's jaw dropped."How much are you worth?" she asked."None of your business," he replied."Seriously, Daniel, are you into some illegal shite?" She asked."Maybe or
There was silence in the room, with Josh staring at Daniel with blank face. He was not interested in the question because it was not important at the moment."I asked you a question," Daniel insisted."Does that matter?" Josh replied."Yes, it does. I want to know when it all became fake because, to me, you were my hero. You were like a father to me!" Daniel yelled, disappointed.The room became quiet again as Josh broke eye contact and looked away."The hero who saved me from a bully became my new bully," Daniel joked."You risked everything to ask a stupid question?" Josh asked."Answer the dumb question: when did you know about the relic?" Daniel was now losing patience."Years after you went to Israel!" Josh yelled back.Daniel paused for a second."I was always curious as to why a powerful man like George was all over a nothing like you," Josh leaned back as he explained. "I remember asking you about it, but you always lied to my face," he pointed out. "So one day my brother cal
"Rexa what's happening?" Daniel asked as he kept staring at the blood.The silence stretched with Rexa not replying."Rexa I asked you a question, what's wrong with me where is the blood coming from my nose?" He asked again. He was trying his best not to freak out but Rexa's quietness was beginning to worry him."Rexa, say something!" He was now yelling."DANIEL, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE RADIATION POISONING," Rexa finally replied."What?" Daniel asked, confused."I DO NOT UNDERSTAND DANIEL, GIVE ME TIME, I SHOULD HAVE DETECTED THE RADIATION EARLIER," Rexa stammered.It was the first time that Daniel was hearing her break in her speech. Something was wrong and he could tell she had no idea what was going on."GIVE ME TIME, DANIEL. I NEED TO FLASH IT OUT, BUT I WILL NEED YOU TO FIND SOMEWHERE PRIVATE TO HIDE," she explained."What do you mean?" Daniel asked."YOU HAVE TO BE UNCONSCIOUS FOR THE PROCEDURE; THE RADIATION IS A LOT, AND YOU ARE ONLY WALKING BECAUSE I AM INSIDE YOU," she explai
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
