Daniel watched the bullet in slow motion as it went straight for his shoulder. He felt a little piercing pain. He had prepared his sensory nerves for the pain making the impact bearable. His smile only got a bit wider making Michael want to shoot again, but the gun jammed, and all of a sudden the gun became too hot for his hands.

He began tossing the gun in his hands, shock evident on his face. He could barely hold it in his hands.

Outside the office, the sound of the gun was heard across the entire floor, forcing some workers to close their office doors while the security guards ran toward the sound of the gun.

Inside, Michael quickly let go of the gun that had become too hot for his hands.

"What the fuck! What the fuck!" He kept screaming, his perplexed gaze fixed on Daniel, who was wearing an annoying grin.

The security guards stormed in at the count of three, just in time for Daniel to get into his acting, wailing in pain as he tried to hide behind his chair.

    Daniel sat on the outpatient bed, all bandaged up, having just given his lawyer instructions to make a deal with the Meyers. It was a tedious move, but the way things were going, he was worried that his plans would be derailed, especially if George's old partner decided to bail him out.Michael's desperate move to get rid of him was an opportunity too good to pass up.If everything went according to plan, he'd be able to complete his tasks in a matter of days.The door slammed open without a knock, jolting him back to reality.Kendall and her uncle took the same steps in, and Kendal ran straight into Daniel's arms."Oh, Daniel, are you all right?" She inquired.Daniel awkwardly sat on the bed, unsure whether to hug her back or not. "I am fine, please do not worry," he replied, trying to push her away. He felt she was holding him too tightly.Josh cleared his throat, forcing Kendall to let go of Daniel."We thought you were dead," he said."Yes, the social media reports were all saying

    Daniel's lawyer quickly decided to leave the room so they could consider the offer, despite the fact that he could tell the family was opposed to the deal. He signaled their lawyer with five minutes at the top as he closed the door behind him."We are not taking the stupid deal!" George yelled.The lawyer folded her arms in irritation."Can I be honest with you?" She askedMichael looked up at her, he looked like he was the only one interested in hearing her proposal."You do not have money to pay for the lawsuits, Lidigo is dead, and you Michael will go to jail not because Daniel Lane has connections but because there are witnesses who saw you enter Daniel's office with a gun," she explained.Shelly brushed her hands into her hair; the lawyer was right, but Daniel wanting to exchange their freedom for a dying company was confusing her. There was something to it that they were not seeing. He practically destroyed the company; if it was the company that he wanted, there was no need fo

    "Hello," Daniel said as his smile faded into a thin line of displeasure. "I heard only Shelly was visiting you, so I thought of visiting you as a former classmate," he mocked.Michael looked up at the watch on the wall; it was almost 10 p.m., not normal hours for a visitation."I have a friend who knows someone who works here," Daniel stated.Michael's breath became ragged; if there were no bars between them, he would have not hesitated to choke the life out of the idiot."I heard George is hanging on to that useless company in exchange for your freedom?" Daniel went on mocking him.There was silence, with Michael trying by all his means not to allow his anger to get a hold of him."You just have to say the word, and I will help you persuade your father to let go of the stupid company," Daniel offered.Michael looked up at him, his anger subsiding a bit. He began wondering if there was something wrong with Daniel. Any enemy would not trade a dying company for his enemies' rotting in j

    Shelly tried to open her mouth, but Daniel interrupted her. "You will not be drugging him with that stupid LSD. I have something that is capable of not destroying his mind, but he would be institutionalized," he explained.Shelly was at a loss; the more she tried to understand Daniel's plans, the more confused she became. He was definitely playing with them dangerously. However, making George insane had a lot of disadvantages on her part and Michael's."Are you in?""Ain't you close to taking us to jail? Why take George to an institution and make us pay for his stupid crimes you framed us?" She snapped at him."I don't have to justify my decision to you, but rest assured that I will get you and Michael out of this shit," he promised.Shelly chuckled; she could not believe he thought she was that stupid."The only thing entangling you in this mess is your signature, and for Michael, I only have to drop the charges," he went on to explain.Shelly took a long look at him; he was serious.

    Having made Shelly believe that he was out of the country, Daniel sat next to his aunt's bed, telling her about his next phase of the plan.As far as everyone was concerned, he was in Israel visiting his aunt when, in fact, he was just in his hidden apartment for the past week plotting forward.He was very aware that Shelly was going nuts; it was only going to be days before her trial, and he wanted her to panic and see where her desperation would lead her. But him laying low was part of the plan; it was risky as he had no idea how Shelly would react, but he had plan B.Rexa had checked on George and confirmed he had enough pills to go as insane as they wanted him to go, but Daniel was waiting for the perfect moment to run him mad.His phone rang, and it was Zain; it had been a while since the two hung out."Hey dude, I heard that you were in Israel?" Zain asked.Daniel paused for a second, pondering Zain's tone. He was confirming rather than asking."Yes, I am in Israel," Daniel repl

    "Sewer Rat! Sewer Rat! Sewer Rat! Sewer Rat!" George continued to scream like a lunatic, ignoring the judge.People in the courtroom were stunned as they watched George move away from his chair.As the guards began to circle George, the judge signaled them to do their jobs."Mr. Meyers, are you okay? What exactly is going on?"Shelly turned around and found Daniel with his annoying smirk; she could only assume that the drug was now working. She could see why Daniel wanted the drug to work in court. She was amazed at how he managed to time it.However, she had a role to play as the future daughter-in-law and quickly ran to George's aid, asking the guards to take their time.Now George stood shirtless in the middle of the room, accusing everyone in the room of conspiring with Daniel."George, calm down; we are in the courtroom, and please put on your shirt," Shelly began pleading."Shut up, you slut!" He yelled at her as he continued scratching.The people kept watching in shock, "I am

    As Michael fixed his gaze on Shelly, the room became suffocating. He had expected her to call everything a bluff, but she was dead serious.Something haunting was in her eyes, something he had never seen before. Shelly was always a tough, no-nonsense girl who wasn't afraid to take chances. But she appeared defeated and afraid of something.Everything was simply too much for him to take in at once."Listen to me, Michael," she said, "with your father in a mental institution, this leaves you in charge, and you can trade your freedom for the sinking company and, of course, the mansion.""But… but…?""Listen to me! I am not asking you to throw in the towel; we can get Daniel later, but now all your father's crimes and debt will be ours without this deal," she went on to explain."No, no, no," Michael cried out. His father's last visit had given him so much hope. He was very sure he had found a way to get them out of the ditch. He sounded so real, and there was no sign of a man who was lo

    Michael looked long and hard at her; she looked lost like she had no idea where he was. He moved closer to face her and held her hands."Please tell me you are the one that signed the consent papers?"Shelly quickly got into acting, asking, "What forms? No one gave me any forms," she lied.Michael now began panicking; he had tried calling the hospital, but there were no records of where his father was transferred to."What's going on, Michael?"."The stupid hospital has no idea where my father is!" He yelled."What... how is that possible?" Shelly asked. She couldn't remember Daniel telling her which mental hospital he was taking George to."Shelly, you were supposed to make sure you were front and center on this!" Michael yelled, irritated.Shelly was left looking away; she did not care about George, a fact that even Michael knew but she was at least supposed to know where he was admitted.Finally, the car arrived, and they drove straight to the hospital and bugged into the hospital

    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
