From Rags To Silk Chapter 68
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

With his head stinging like someone had hit him with a wooden prank, George slowly opened his eyes. He held on to his head, trying to remember what happened or where he was, but his aching head was too much for him to remember.With much difficulty, he finally opened his eyes. The white walls and ceilings got his attention; he was definitely not in his room or office. He immediately ignored the aching head and got up, looking around his surroundings.The entire room was so white that it pierced his eyes. There was a tiny window in the corner of the room, and to his left was a tiny white table and a huge white door.He could feel his heart racing in his chest. He jumped out of bed when he realized the white clothes he was wearing were not the ones he had put on in the morning.He remembered putting on a black suit with his favorite lucky charm tie, not the clothes he was wearing. And neither did he remember entering the room he was in. Without hesitation, he ran to the huge door, try

Shelly quickly ran to one of the trash bags, checking to make sure the things inside weren't theirs but to her shock they were.Even though they had handed over the mansion to Daniel, they did not anticipate the transfer of ownership in one day or Daniel moving in.So they had decided to freshen up before continuing their battle to get George out of Daniel's custody, but to their shock, they stumbled on all their personal things thrown in trash bags and placed near the gate.Shelly moved from one trash bag to the other in shock. She looked up at Michael, who already had his hands clenched into fists and was ready to storm the mansion.Daniel had already noticed the two and was moving toward them with a smile. He signaled his guards, and they quickly lined up at the entrance.Michael pushed on them, but they pushed back, almost sending him to the ground."You stupid fool, show your ugly face!" Michael yelled on top of his voice.Daniel signaled his men to move."Pick up your trash and

The morning came with the news of Daniel's takeover of Lidigo all over the news and social media. Most people were confused as to why he would buy a dying company that no one wanted to be associated with, but Daniel had a plan; he knew exactly what he was doing.Early in the morning, he woke up in his new mansion. He did not like the place, but he was only there for purpose of power. Throwing Michael and Shelly away like trash felt fulfilling. He felt like he had placed a nail in the coffin. It was not the last nail but it felt good gathering it in.However there was no time to relax; with George completely out of the way, he was sure the partner was going to go for him. He felt prepared and ready to sort them out; he doubted they would reach out to Shelly or Michael, which only meant they would soon reveal themselves.He quickly grabbed his laptop and turned it on. His new morning schedule had just begun. The first thing was to check on his aunt; even though Rexa was doing a great jo

After selling off some of her jewelry, Shelly and Michael finally managed to find a cheap motel to finally relax their tired legs. For the first time in their lives, they slept on the streets like dogs.Michael felt disgusted with himself; he felt like a failure. He had been so comfortable in life that he never made plans for unforeseen circumstances like what had just happened to them.He had no hidden accounts, no hidden safe deposit boxes, nothing, and with the frozen accounts, whose money was probably going to go to the legal fees, he had nothing to his name.He had been crushed financially, emotionally, and physically. And the worst part of it all was that he had no idea how to get himself out of the tangled web, especially freeing his father from the stupid sewer rat.Shelly looked to have a plan, but he did not like the plan. Josh Hamilton was never a fan of his father. He had no idea about their history, but the two always seemed to avoid each other, which never made sense con

As much as he wanted to pretend on his phone that everything was okay, his heart was beating very fast. For the first time, he was scared. Someone wanted him dead, and they were not beating around the bush.He quickly called his secretary and began making plans that he had not planned to make. He planned to give Rexa enough time to diffuse the bomb.There was a good chance that whoever planted the bomb was watching and wanted a front-row seat, but he wasn't going to give them what they wanted.Fortunately, Rexa diffused the bomb and gave him the all-clear. Daniel clenched his hands, pissed. Michael and Shelly were into much shit to waste money on a useless bomb, or maybe he was underestimating them.But his money was on the old partner, and he needed to speed up his investigation into finding out their identity.And the trip he was about to take would provide some of the answers, so he planned to proceed as planned and headed to the airport as if nothing had happened."Rexa I want you

Josh stared at Shelly long and hard, as if he were analyzing her rather than analyzing what she was saying. He took a sip of his wine again and, as she went on to explain the war between the Meyers and the Lanes. She topped it up with all the perfect devices Daniel had ever made."Remember all those devices he made when he had nothing, now imagine what he can create with all the money he has now?" she leaned forward.Josh chuckled. "Are you sure you are not smoking whatever George is smoking?"Shelly rolled her eyes in annoyance; the man did not appear to be as intelligent as he led the outside world to believe. She did not expect him to believe her instantly, but with the evidence she was giving him, she expected him to at least ask the right questions."Is this why you gave up Lidigo easily and without a fight? Is it because you were scared of this alien technology you claim? Is it dangerous?"Shelly looked away. "I guess you are not that smart; maybe I should have given this vital

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
