Elijah turned to face the door; he was very much aware of Shelly's feelings towards Daniel, and that was why he was always against his boss partnering with her, especially since Cathy was alive.

He always knew that it was a disaster waiting to happen and it leave his boss in another mess to clean up.

"What did you expect after all this was over?" He asked her.

Shelly's mind was somewhere else, recalling all the hell she went through for Daniel. She even went so far as to have her finger chopped off while Daniel was obviously fucking Cathy in the same mansion she was sleeping.

She was not delusional and Daniel always reminded her to control her feelings towards him and keep them professional but he would have respected her and told her about Cathy.

Her tummy coiled up as she raised her eyes to meet Elijah's. The fool knew all this while and was probably always laughing at her.

She turned and walked down to the basement, where she discovered a fully furnished apartment with Craig and Ra

    While Rachel was trying to make a deal, Gabriel was thinking of a successful trip too. He hated leaving his brother alone, knowing Daniel would pop up anytime he felt like it. That was if he was still alive.He arrived at his private Island hoping for a quick visit. He was welcomed by the caretaker and taken to the gardens, where George Meyers sat sipping on a cup of coffee."I hope all the money I am spending on taking care of you will finally pay off," he stated as he joined the man.George glared at him. For the past month, he had been nothing but cooperative, but the idiot brothers were still holding him hostage under the pretense of hiding him from Daniel."The partners? Do you have an idea who they are?" Gabriel went straight to the point.George scoffed, irritated. "Do you think I would be alive if I knew who they were?""You have to have an idea or a clue?"George stared at the man; he looked rugged up with an unkempt beard. Unlike the last time he saw him when he was very con

    The room became heavy for Cathy as she began moving backward. The man knew her name, and he looked very familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before."What are you doing here?" He asked again, analyzing her. She looked thin and disoriented as if she were locked up or something."Who…are you?" She finally found the words."I am Zain, Daniel's best friend...Don't you remember me?" He asked.Cathy stared at him, trying to think hard."Daniel's best friend is my brother Craig; you are lying," she replied, moving further back.Zain smiled, remembering the childish fights he and Craig would always have over who was the best friend or closest friend to Daniel.He put his bag down and took a seat. "The last time I saw you was at the party when Daniel just came back from Israel," he replied.Cathy remembered the party and finally remembered the face: "Oooh, you are Daniel's weird computer hacker friend." She remembered. "You look different; you got rid of those glasses,"

    Zain swallowed as Gabriel began moving closer to him."You hacked who?" He asked"Josh... was suspicious of the number, so I tried to find out who the caller was," he explained.Gabriel looked in his young brother's direction with an "I told you so" look."You are lying! Daniel must have told you to hack him!""No, it was my own curiosity before Daniel returned from Israel," Zain replied."Hack the number again," Josh finally said, pretending he had not heard the confession."What! Do you still trust him?" Gabriel yelled at him, disappointed."It does matter who he was spying for; what is important is finding out who the partner is," Josh replied. "We find them, we find Daniel!" He explained and turned his attention to Zain."So, in short, you are saying the person that uses that number has Daniel?" Zain asked. "None of your business," Gabriel replied."Gabriel, Zain knows everything," Josh stated."What? How?" "That's not important, Zain, can you hack the number again?""The numbe

    Rachel kept staring at him; she had spotted his quick grimace that turned into seriousness in seconds. He looked more than happy to discover that Daniel's phone records were deleted.She wondered if he knew about the thing inside Daniel. According to the useless partner, the artifact was capable of doing unimaginable things, which only meant Daniel was capable of deleting his records, or maybe it was the useless partner she kept debating within herself."Am I allowed to go?" Zain asked."Craig, go and get me a takeaway," Rachel ordered."Mom, we can drop by the joint on our way out." "No, I want you to go and get me the food; I do not feel like moving," she replied, assuring him that she was not going to kill Zain."Chinese for me, and do not worry, there is nothing that your mother can do to me that I can't handle," Zain winked at him."Dude gross!" "Just joking," he laughed out loud.Craig gave his mother a warning look before leaving.As soon as he was out of sight, she leaned fo

    Gabriel looked at his brother in horror, his heart beating fast. He had once watched the footage of George going nuts in court, and with the miracles that the Relic was capable of producing, he knew she was not joking."What? What's going on?... What did she say?" Josh asked.Gabriel tried to call the number again but could not get through. It looked like she had blacklisted him."Gabriel, talk to me!" Josh yelled at him"Daniel… Daniel planned to make me mad," he stated. Shelly wants one million dollars and she will confess to all of Daniel's plans."Josh looked away, not in any way surprised."She said there were pills, the same ones that he used on George!" He added trying to get through to the line."This is why we should find Daniel," Josh finally replied."No, I am going to kill that stupid bastard; he better wish he was dead!" Gabriel yelled"Calm down," "Do not tell me to calm down! There is something inside of me that is going to make me run mad!" He yelled."I know, first g

    Daniel slowly opened his eyes; they did not feel heavy but instead were light, as if he had just gotten up from a long, good nap. His body felt light too, there was no pain or any heaviness in his chest like previously.He quickly got up from the small bed and looked around. He was still in the small lab."Rexa?" He called out."DANIEL, GET BACK TO SLEEP; YOU ARE STILL WEAK," she advised."How long have I been here?" He asked."ONE WEEK AND THREE DAYS." Daniel froze in horror."THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT I MANAGED TO RETRIEVE ALL THE RADIATION," she announced."What's the bad news?" He asked."I HAVE NO ENERGY, SO SHOULD YOU GO OUT THERE, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOU, she replied.Daniel was quiet; all the energy they were saving for his aunt was wasted on him. His enemies dragged him back to square one. He closed his eyes, his hands clenched into fists."AND THERE IS SURVEILLANCE AROUND THIS PLACE; SOMEONE FOUND YOUR CAR, SO I WOULD NOT ADVISE GOING OUTSIDE," she advised.Daniel was

    Rachel quickly began picking up the phone pieces, trying to put the phone together, but her hands were shaking so badly that she could not hold a piece. If she recalled correctly, the person who called her by her first name was Zain, the baboon head. She clearly remembered getting offended by the stupid boy.But because he was her son's age, there was no way he would have worked with George. Unless he was the son of the stupid partner."Craig! Craig!" She yelled on top of her voice.Craig came running into her room and found her on the floor, trying to put the phone together."What happened?""Put...put the phone together!" She ordered."Mom, what happened?" "Just...put the fucking phone together!" She yelled, moving to the window to get some fresh air. Craig analyzed her; she was shaking, but first, he put the phone together and tried to turn it on; it turned on, and he joined her at the window."You are lucky, but I think you should get a new screen," he commented, handing it to

    "Sir, should I take a shot?" The sniper kept asking, but Gabriel's mind was at a loss as he took a seat."Sir, should I stand down?" The sniper asked.The earlier plan was to shoot Shelly point blank as soon as Gabriel walked away. But the sniper was confused to see a man talking to his boss and getting the briefcase.The photo he was given was of a woman with blond hair, not a man."Sir, the person you were talking to is getting away. Should I stand down?" The sniper asked, but Gabriel's mind was astray.Josh, who was still in the hospital and heard the entire conversation between Michael and his brother, was left numb in his bed. The part that hit him the most was the Cathy part. He laughed out loud and now understood why Rachel was all over the place looking for Daniel like some obedient pet.The duo was the most unexpected pair that he had not expected to work together, but he now understood why. Daniel faked Rachel's daughter's death, then concentrated on sending Mateo to prison

    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
