"Daniel, are you okay?" Max asked after the long pause from Daniel.

Daniel smiled, "Of course, let's go," he replied and got into the car.

Rexa had just finished up with the search of the phone and apart from Rachel's invitation, there was nothing suspicious in his phone.

Daniel ordered her to follow the ambulances that took both Craig and Rachel and ordered her to cause a fault to any ambulance that took the wrong route away from the hospital.

Max cleared his throat as he got into the car and ordered the driver to start off.

"I overheard the rescuers saying you are the one that pinpointed where Craig and his mother were trapped," Max started up a conversation.

"Yes, Rachel texted me," Daniel lied.

"Thee Rachel Nash texted you?" Max asked surprised. "You mean the woman that hated your presence?" He asked.

Daniel smiled. "Once you get money, everyone tends to like you," Daniel joked.

Max laughed out

"So is your wife back too?" Daniel asked. "Sorry I never got a chance to meet her," Dan

    While Daniel was on the phone, the doctor walked out and nodded at Max."You can now see the patients?" The doctor said."Are they okay? Which room is the mother?" Max asked."The first room," the doctor replied.Max thanked the doctor and looked behind him. He could clearly see that Daniel was having a heated conversation with whoever was at the end of the line.He quickly walked into Rachel's room and closed the door behind him.Rachel looked up thinking it was Daniel, but to her disappointment, it was Max."Hello, Rachel?" He wavedRachel quickly sat up straight, not wanting to show any fear or that she suspected that he was somehow related to the partner."How is my son? Which room is he in?" She asked a question that any mother would ask."He is in the next room; I am yet to see him," Max replied.Rachel stared at him; the more he spoke, the more convinced she was about her suspicions."Ain't you supposed to check on your friend first?" She asked.Max smiled and took a seat, "Did

    After a day, Rachel and her son were finally discharged from the hospital. Thanks to the tough walls of the basement, they both did not have any major injuries.Daniel offered one of his apartments, but Rachel refused his offer. Even the investigators wanted to put her and Craig in protective custody, but she refused. She was not going to go into hiding while her daughter was supposedly with the enemy.What she was interested in was her daughter. She had been nothing but patient and was eager to know who was babysitting Cathy.The person who Max claimed to be his half-brother. She was tempted to ask Daniel who it was, but that was only going to raise suspicion and put Daniel in more Danger.Max warned her they were watching, and if she slipped, Daniel would find out. She was aware of who would be the first to kick the bucket.She was still in disbelief but had no time to use emotions. What bothered her more was the fact that Max had no grandparents. She did some digging around, she re

    After a long discussion with Rexa, Daniel concluded it was a set-up and continued on his way to meet up with Elijah. But he sent all the evidence to the investigators and asked them to keep him updated.He then drove to Elijah, making sure he was not followed. By the time he arrived, it was late in the night.He found Elijah waiting for him outside."For a second, I thought you were not going to come, especially with the bomb," Elijah stated as soon as Daniel walked out of the car. "You were right, I should not have given Shelly a second chance. She was behind the bombing," Daniel stated."Ooh," Elijah said, with an, "I told you so" look on his face. "Should I go after her?" He asked."No, the law will deal with her," Daniel replied. "But I will need you to go and get George for me. I miss him," he ordered and walked into the room where Gabriel was tied to a chair.As soon as Gabriel saw him, he began shaking the chair. His mouth was taped, making it difficult for him to talk."Gaby,

    Michael quickly dropped the gun and dropped to his knees. He had no idea why, but pulling the trigger felt very satisfying. He felt like he had been relieved of a load that he had been carrying for years.He made sure the bullet went through her head to avoid any chance of her waking up. He stared at her lifeless body as blood kept pouring out of her head with her eyes wide open.The police officers pushed him to the ground as they read out his rights and cuffed him.One of them checked Shelly's pulse and nodded his head. She was dead, and all they could do was charge Michael with murder and begin processing the place as a crime scene.Michael was taken to the car and transported back to prison. He had no regrets; he felt he did the right thing. And instead of requesting a lawyer, he kept requesting for Daniel. There was one last wish that he wanted to be granted.Morning came, and news of the shooting incident was all over the news. Daniel scrolled through his phone as he walked to h

    Carol slowly leaned back in her bed; she was very tired, and the little energy she had was used to make Daniel stop draining the life out of Zain. Cathy, who was the nearest to her bed, moved a little backward, unsure of how to react. She was so scared and could hear her own heart beating. The man she loved with all her heart just lifted his best friend with one hand.Daniel dropped Zain to the ground and ran to his aunt's bed. Five years passed and all his energy to ever wake her up was wasted on his friends and enemies, and there was a time he had nearly given up on the hopes of ever seeing or hearing her voice."Aunty?" He whispered with difficulty. He was in disbelief and thought he was dreaming.Rexa was busy analyzing her, trying to understand what was going on. She was supposed to be aware of her progress but she was as surprised as everyone in the roomAunty Carol smiled and held out her hand, which Daniel quickly grabbed, crying. She could not believe her eyes too. Daniel lo

    Daniel quickly ran to the other room, "We have to move, sorry aunt, but we are in danger!" He yelled."What do you mean?" Cathy asked."They know; they know you are here; that stupid Zain led them here!" He yelled, pissed. He shouldn't have trusted the stupid prick, who obviously deliberately led the enemies to the apartment."Calm down, who are you talking about?" Carol asked."The partner, the man who has been hiding in the shadows and after the Relic," he explained. "You remember the relic?" Carol nodded, even though she could not remember most of her life, but the relic was one thing that could not be erased while she slept in a coma for five years "What is the relic? What's going on?" Cathy asked."I will explain…" Daniel tried to speak, but she interrupted him."How long has Zain been in here? Why have they not come to us when it would have been easier for them to get us while you were away?" She asked.Daniel was quiet, she was making sense."Cathy is right, did you fully ac

    Rachel quickly folded the pizza box and threw it in the bin in order to avoid any suspicion in case anyone was watching her.She took a huge gulp of the wine and grabbed a towel. There was a part of her that was telling her to ignore the message.Josh Hamilton was nothing but a used piece of toilet paper that was used by the partner and flushed down the toilet. There was no way he could save her from the trap she got trapped in.She held her neck, touching on the spot where Max plucked the needle. If only she could release nine bullets in the fool's head.However, Josh's message appeared as if he knew the details of the contract, especially since he mentioned Cathy. She walked to her room, curious, as she remembered the last time Josh was at her house. If she remembered correctly, the fool drugged both Kendall and Daniel and made them have sex.Her eyes were almost popping out, realizing her partner might have made the fool to get his niece pregnant at all costs. The contract was the

    Daniel kept shaking as he tried to control his emotions while Michael went into detail on how George hired men to temper with his parents' vehicle. He had received a tip from a good source that the Lanes were moving the artifact, so the plan was to kill them and take the relic, but when they searched the car and their bodies, they did not find anything.Daniel closed his eyes and clenched his fists, trying to stop them from shaking."Hey, I was just eight years old by then, so do not punch me," Michael laughed out.Daniel opened his eyes."That is the problem; you're only eight, and your father could try to use that and claim you are just trying to implicate him," Daniel replied, trying to control his emotions. He was very aware George was behind the killings, but he never expected his son to be the witness to put the fool behind bars."Search for a man named Bob; he carried out the accident. I am sure you have the money to offer him a deal or make him talk," Michael added and urged

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
