Daniel awoke excited about Zain's progress. He sat in his hidden apartment going through social media posts. The fundraising party was a disaster, and everyone was still talking about him crashing it and throwing the money at George's feet.He read the messages with a smirk on his face. He could only assume it had taken a lot of pills to get the old fool through his sleep. However, he wanted to put him in a condition that would prevent the pills from working.Then there was Shelly, who dared him. The useless thing still thought she was mighty but he was going to teach her a lesson that she was going to live to remember.He quickly called Zain's line and asked for Lidigo documents that contained Shelly's signature. According to her files, she was in charge of management which seemed odd given that she was a bioengineer.He quickly ordered the Relic to duplicate the signature and electronically sign it on loan documents worth millions.There was silence."Rexa, is there a problem?" Dani
George, on the other side, woke up with a banging headache. He had hoped to get to work on capturing Daniel and finding out where the boy was hiding the relic, but the pain was so intense to even move.He quickly called Michael and requested that he work on the sewer rat. He wanted him to drop everything he was doing and concentrate on locating Daniel.Michael had not slept; he had spent the entire night thinking about the relic. His father's claims made sense, especially when he thought of all the interesting machines that Daniel used to come up with.The machines were a work of genius, and only his father's explanation of the artifact made sense. An alien object of immense power capable of fusing with the human mind and machine. If such a powerful object existed, it would be a game changer.He glanced at his father. It also made sense as to why he was so obsessed with Daniel that he nearly lost his mind."Michael!" George yelled at him, finally grabbing his attention."Let me find y
As they both laughed, Daniel tossed Zain's glass of wine. He checked his watch; it was nearly six o'clock in the evening, and it was clear that the Meyers' minds were racing as they tried to figure out who got the loan on their behalf.Daniel referred to it as a work of art, and it was one of many plans he had hatched over the course of five years."I'm not sure how you got the bank to give them such a large sum of money in such a short period of time." Zain enquired."I've got my own people in the bank," Daniel lied.Zain stared at his glass.Daniel noticed and smiled, "I thought you liked spy movies?" He made a joke. "This operation is a puzzle and each team member is only supposed to know a piece of the puzzle to avoid spilling out information once caught," Daniel explained.Zain smiled as he took a sip of his wine, he had a lot of questions but chose to keep them to himself."So what's next?" Zain asked."Start printing out invitations to the launch of my new company," Daniel re
Meanwhile, Daniel was about to call it a night when Zain called, informing him about George's condition. He did not have all the details, but all he knew was that an ambulance had arrived and taken the old man to the hospital."Find out what's wrong with him and keep me updated," Daniel snarled.He had only begun his vengeance and was yet at the pick. George Meyers was yet to feel his wrath, so the idiot was supposed to live.He stood up and began pacing the room; without George, there would be no vengeance, and without vengeance, his purpose for returning to America or running away was meaningless.He looked at his watch waiting for Zain's call. The old man needed to be alive, he was tempted to call the hospital but quickly talked himself out of it. The anxiety was killing him, he wanted to know the fate. He quickly grabbed his car keys and ran out of the apartment. He was at the hospital in an hour. He packed his car in the hospital car park and called Zain but his friend still
"No, no, it should be the other way around; the stupid bank tried to launder the money using our company!" The lawyer yelled.Shelly was shaking, for the first time, she was caught tongue-tied. It was her signature that was all over the papers, not Michael's or George's. And the only name she could think of that would frame her was George. It had to be George; she could not think of anyone else but the fool was not that stupid to ruin his company over her."I was expecting to find George, and as a loyal customer, we wanted to find a root cause before the FBI swooped in," the manager explained.Michael quickly snapped out of his horror and explained his father's situation."But please explain to me how someone can launder money through a loan; this does not make sense?" He asked.Before the manager could explain, the secretary quickly stormed in without knocking."Mr. Meyers, the FBI is here, and they are grabbing things," she cried out.Michael quickly got up and glared at the manager
Meanwhile, Josh Hamilton sat in his favorite restaurant in the VIP section, away from any prying eyes. He had walked into the restaurant using the back door, and the guest he was waiting for was instructed to use the same back door. He sat, patiently waiting as he ate his favorite salad.After an hour, Zain walked in. He was fully endowed in black, had a black hood over his head, and wore huge dark sunglasses. He removed them the second he sat down and apologized for being late.Josh went straight to the point: "Are you the one that framed Lidigo with the money laundering?" He asked."I only set up the partnership with CADEX; I have no idea how Daniel pulled out the rest," he replied."I thought your job was to keep an eye on him and record all of his actions and doings!" Josh replied.Zain kept quiet."Remember this is for his own benefit, and we have to protect him, but we can't if we do not know what he is up to," Josh explained.Zain nodded in agreement; he knew he was betraying D
Daniel smiled while Kendall looked away, uncomfortable."Guys, please come in; she is also a friend," he replied.Craig chuckled and looked away in irritation."You should have told us if we had to bring outsiders, I would have brought my wife; you are yet to meet her," Max responded with an eye roll."Guys, guys, this is a celebration," Zain rushed in to save the evening before it was ruined. He held both Craig's and Catherine's hands and dragged them to the garden.Catherine did not forget to roll her eyes at Kendall as she passed her."Let's not be petty," Zain whispered.Craig quickly pulled his hand away, irritated."You are no different from Kendall; you knew where Daniel was but kept lying to our faces for five years," he retorted."Well Kendall never knew only I and Josh Hamilton knew about Daniel's whereabouts and he was paying me for it," he bluntly stated." Unlike all of you here, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth," he joked as he led them to their seats. Cath
Shelly sat in her bedroom, her hands clutching her necklace. She had just arrived from the hospital, unable to convince George to change his mind.The old idiot had seen an opportunity to finally get rid of her. Even if he saved her, she did not see a way he would allow her back into the company with a tarnished name.She had tried to speak to Michael to somehow get him on her side, but Michael did not even want to look at her. She looked at her engagement ring and wondered what type of man she had agreed to spend the rest of her life with.The man she had risked everything and tried to secure their future for had dumped her like a piece of used rag and was eager to side with his father as a loyal dog.She was all alone now, and she had no one to side with and no idea which move to take.At Daniel's house, his party came to an end, and all his guests left except for Zain, who had used every opportunity he could get to bug Daniel's house.It had taken him much thought to decide whether
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
