From Rags To Silk Chapter 40
Somewhere, high on the tenth floor, tucked in his usual expensive luxury suit, Daniel Lane sipped on his coffee as he kept staring at the opposite building. Five years had passed since he was forced to flee his own country without saying goodbye to those who were like family to him.He was now back in the states, but I was still not that excited about his return. Israel has been so good to him, and the environment has allowed him to succeed beyond his expectations.He chuckled, remembering the day he made the bald decision to pack everything and trust Josh Hamilton. It was a calculated risk that paid off but in the early days, he had doubted.He spent five years in Israel, a foreign country with a different language and a different culture. A country George would never have bothered to look for him because it was so unrelated to the new world and type of business he had chosen. He graduated top of his new university just like his aunt dreamed for him and was able to launch the insuli

Daniel averted his gaze; the man meant well, but he was no longer the defenseless orphan he had been five years ago to continue hiding in a foreign country. Nobody was going to deny him his birthright in the country he was born in."You don't have to be concerned about me," Daniel finally said."Do you know how long it took George to give up his search for you?" As he pushed his plate away, Josh inquired. He'd recently lost his appetite."Three years, three solid years, so don't think you can take on that crazy man with this little success you have smelled" Josh cautioned."My passion ever since I was a little boy was to change the medicine world; I had started that with my insulin infuser," Daniel replied, "but that dream was cut short and I was forced to go industrial because of that fool."A very pissed Josh quickly interrupted him, "You could have still switched to medical devices in Israel!" He yelled, attracting the attention of customers in the restaurant."I did not like Israe

Daniel arrived at his destination in under an hour. As he entered the park, he directed his driver to go order Chinese takeaway for him.He hadn't been to the park in five years but it looked exactly the same as when he left it; even the meeting bench was still there, hidden behind the flowers and the same color.He was the first to arrive, and he took a seat while waiting for his friend. His ears twitched as he was scrolling through his phone, checking his new schedule. He heard footsteps from behind him.He quickly stood up and turned, thinking it was trouble, but it was Zain. The very person he was waiting for"I missed you, my love," Zain joked in excitement. "Fuck you, dude," Daniel replied, hugging his best friend."I wanted to surprise you by covering your eyes and having you guess my name as they do in romantic movies," Zain laughed out hard. He was sure he was very quiet but Daniel somehow heard him.Daniel laughed out loud; his friend had not changed a bit since he last sa

George was busy at Lidigo preparing for his first meeting with his new partners. He couldn't believe he hadn't considered replacing the idiotic partner who had dumped him five years before. It was time to move on and find new partners to milk and fund all of his company's projects.His son was opposed to the idea; he had valid points. A partnership could be a dangerous path if not carefully calculated, but he was an expert in that field.His company had survived for many years on the backs of people's connections and funds. It was those resources that the company was missing for the previous five years, which was a major contributor to the company's impending demise, he thought to himself.The door opened, halting his thoughts as Shelly walked in without knocking, followed by Michael, who appeared to be trying to stop her. He was not in the mood for stupidity but he kept quiet."You should not go ahead with this partnership," she yelled out. "It's too risky; this is just a new compan

In a state of excitement, George walked into his office and summoned his secretary and planner. With the deal completed, he planned a grand celebration and hoped to invite all the fools who had decided to write him off.He hadn't thrown a party in over five years. He couldn't recall the last time he had guests over at his house. His mansion had turned into a dark haunted house with no sound of joy. He missed the parties, the laughter, the joy, and the women. However, Daniel's name popped up in his head. His skin crawled just thinking about his stupid name. Daniel's name always came up every time he felt like celebrating. The boy robbed him of a future he had worked so hard for. He clenched his fist in annoyance, but quickly reminded himself to focus on the party.He quickly turned and gave the secretary and personal assistant his plans for the party. He wanted it to be grand and ordered the two to invite all the rich people in the city.The secretary and assistant looked at each ot

George's eyes darted around, checking to see if everyone else was seeing what he was. When Daniel had vanished, he used to have hallucinations of Daniel in places where he was not. His obsession had become extremely harmful to his health.Daniel smiled at him as he looked up the stairs, where Micheal and Shelly were standing.Michael was also struck numb; Daniel was the last person he expected to see again. He used to wish his father had murdered him in secret and was only pretending to be obsessed with finding him.But there he was, all polished and looked loaded from the expensive suit and watch he had on.Shelly, on the other hand, had her mouth open in shock, as if she had seen a ghost, and her eyes darted back and forth between Kendall and Daniel.Kendall was elegantly dressed in a pink gown that showed every inch of her curves. Her hair was neatly tied in a pink bole that showed every inch of her curves with curls flowing over her shoulder. She looked like royalty, and most of t

As soon as they were out of the door, Daniel quickly walked to his car, almost dragging Kendall behind him.Kendall motioned for Daniel to hold up but he had no time to waste. From the quick scan of the house, he could tell George was taken to the room on his left. If the old man had recovered from his shock, he wanted to hear every word of his conversation with his son.They quickly got into the car, and he drove to the east side of the mansion and stopped the car in alignment with the room George was taken to. Kendall looked around, perplexed; the way to her house or to any place where they could hang out was in the opposite direction."Where are we going?" She askedDaniel grabbed his phone, pretending to be on call as he listened in on the Meyers. "Just a second, and we will be on our way," he replied. "Let me just make this call."Back inside the house, Shelly quickly called the assistant and ordered him to send everyone home.The assistant looked at Shelly, disappointed. They

Daniel glanced at his watch before looking up at Josh. He wasn't in the mood for the man. He wanted to see Zain and give him his new assignment."I asked you a question; are you two stupid?" Josh yelled again."What's up, Uncle?" Kendall asked."Go in the house now!" Josh yelled at Daniel and demanded that he got out of the car."I'm a little busy; we can talk tomorrow," Daniel politely replied."This will not take minutes," Josh insisted.Daniel checked his watch once more, but he got out of his car out of respect for the man. Josh turned and led the way to the gardens as Daniel followed from behind.Kendall could only watch; her uncle looked very pissed. However, she could not follow them; she had no choice but to obey her uncle and go inside the house.In the gardens, Josh stopped and turned to face Daniel."Before you say anything, I...""Storming George's party to insult him? Is that your kindergarten plan?" Josh mocked. "Is this the grand plan and reason you abandoned the empir

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
