From Rags To Silk Chapter 20
George's chest began to tighten. He felt like he was getting enough air as he slowly unbuttoned his jacket and untied his tie. He couldn't believe the Melvin science project had gone to a useless boy, a nobody who used to live in the slams. In fact, I still did.Even with his connections back then, he was unable to obtain this project during his university days. However, that project landed with a nobody. He yelled out on top of his voice in frustration, attracting the gaze of people passing by."What are you all looking at?" He yelled at them as he grabbed his phone and began calling specific numbers in his phone, breathing heavily. He needed to block the stupid project. Thanks to the stupid aunt, he could not find "That Thing" and now it looked like the boy was heading for success which would be a disadvantage if the artifact ever resurfaced in his possession. The boy needed to maintain his poor status, that was how it was always supposed to be. That was the balance of things.Howe

Daniel smiled as he walked into his aunty's room. He'd just avoided a hundred questions from Craig. He could tell he hadn't believed him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that the friend would drop the subject and never bring the topic up again. He walked into Carol's side of the bed, took a seat while holding her hand, and excitedly told her about the good news he had received. He wished she was awake to join him in his celebration. He missed all the hugs and kisses she would have given him and a lecture on not becoming arrogant once he's made it. She always liked giving that lecture. He had always despised the speech, but now that she was in a coma, he wanted to hear it so badly, but he couldn't. He missed all the little speeches that used to irritate him and promised himself that when she woke up, he would never find anything irritating again. He was going to be listening to every word with a smile on his face. He looked at his watch and noticed that it wa

Before things got out of hand, the lecturer got up and asked everyone to calm down and take a breather. "Stay out of this!" George yelled at him. The lecturer froze and raised his hands in the air. He was one of those lecturers at the University who were afraid of George. When George turned his gaze to face Daniel, it was clear that the sewer rat had no idea who he was or what he was capable of. The stupid aunt had not filled the boy in on how dangerous he was but that was going to be rectified. "Do you know me and what I am capable of?" Daniel kept his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on him. He could only assume the old fool had never heard the word "NO" and always got his way. "What are you going to do?" Daniel asked, mockingly. "Beat me to death for refusing to grant your request," he smirked. George gripped on Daniel's shirt more tightly, pulling harder on it. He was expecting Daniel to react, but the useless boy kept a mocking smirk on his face and his hands in his

Daniel grabbed his phone, ignoring his friends' protests. They felt choosing Kendall Hamilton was a bad idea that would only add to the drama of the project and might backfire on the group.Craig locked his gaze on his friend, who was yet again making another uncharacteristic decision. Daniel was not the type to surround himself with drama or attention, but it appeared he was attracting all the attention he had tried to avoid his entire life."Daniel, are you sure?" Craig asked for the third time, knowing full well that there were other students who were far more qualified than Kendal for the position."Trust me, guys," Daniel said, his attention drawn to his phone.Zain, who was on campus, had just texted him. He summoned Daniel outside. It was crucial. Daniel abruptly excused himself and exited the room.Zain's request for a meet-up outside the room meant that whatever he had to say was only meant for the two of them and not to be heard by the other two friends.He crossed the camp

Kendall turned to face Shelly, then Daniel. The tense air between them piqued her interest but she had no time playing Shelly's games, she was more interested in finding out where Daniel stood."Let's talk over ice cream. It's far too hot in here," she laughed as she walked back into the room to put on makeup and grab her purse.Shelly approached the door. "What do you think you're doing?" She yelled at Daniel.Daniel looked behind him to see if the woman was talking to him or someone else."I'm talking to you, fool! Who do you think you are?"Kendall raised an eyebrow for a split second. Shelly was taking the entire issue too personally.Daniel cleared his throat as he moved closer to Shelly."What exactly do you think I'm doing?" he asked, a sleek smile on his face."Using Kendall to retaliate against me and Michael isn't going to work," she stated flatly.Daniel laughed."Not everything revolves around you, Princess," he replied coldly, before asking Kendall if she was finished."A

Daniel arrived at his apartment satisfied with the events of the day. He smiled as he walked to his room. He was certain George Meyers was already receiving phone calls from his friend's parents and biting his tongue while explaining his threats.He was no longer going to have any problems with the fool if everything went as planned. As he sat down, he relievedly signed. He held the relic in his hands, remembering the old fool holding it without realizing it.The adage "hide something in plain sight for the enemy" worked in his favor. He chuckled as he remembered the old man's expression.Perhaps one day, after making him pay for everything he'd done to his family, he'd reveal how he'd hidden the relic in plain sight.He stood up with a smile, clutching his insulin infuser. With the project's funding and the Relic's power, he was going to bring the device to life in his aunt's honor, and, more importantly, it was going to make the nurses' job of managing her diabetes in her coma state

"See you around," Shelly mocked as the couple walked away. Daniel's stunned expression was priceless and beautiful to watch. She wished she had taken a picture of it, but she didn't want to appear too petty.They had no idea how Micheal's father did it, but Daniel was off the list and Micheal was on it in less than 24 hours.As they walked away, Shelly inquired about Kendall's position on the team."I'm sure no one wants her on the team," Michael replied confidently, knowing exactly how to get rid of her.Soon, the announcement was made in the class group, shocking everyone. The Melvin project's drama was getting juicier by the day.Within minutes, the entire group was flooded with hundreds of messages. Some mocked and laughed at Daniel, while others felt it was unjust for Micheal to get the spot after his device failed during the presentation.His father had clearly purchased the spot, as some of the students had seen him on compass the day before.Craig and Max were taken aback as t

Kendall quickly offered Daniel a seat next to her and reprimanded him for not returning her calls.However, Daniel's attention was drawn to the CEO of Biopharm. He greeted him, but Josh Hamilton only glanced at him and continued sipping his coffee."You knew I was related to the CEO of Biopharm, didn't you?" Kendal enquired.Daniel cleared his throat and looked at her. "No, I did not," he replied.Josh chuckled and turned away."I knew your parents were wealthy and in real estate, but not that you two were related," Daniel responded."Do you have no shame?" Finally, Josh spoke up. "Do we appear to be fools to whom you can simply lie?""No, sir, I am telling the truth," Daniel protested but was cut off."Let's just wait for the other person in silence," Josh said.Kendal grinned. Even though Josh appeared to be cold and mean to the outside world, she knew he had a soft spot inside him.Daniel looked at Kendall, perplexed as to who they were waiting for, but lacked the courage to inquir

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
