Reynold as he walked was absent-minded. His thoughts tugged him from within, he seemed lost from the outside, and his mind wandered from here to there and from there to here. It was all because of one person.

'What does she want?'

'What could I have done better?'

'Was accepting this a mistake?'

'Should I just be content with the fact that she helped me?'

In as much as Reynold wanted to take that route. He suspected that it was going to be hard.

Kayla was a beautiful girl who had stretched forth a helping hand to him just when he needed it most.

How was he supposed to ignore loving such a person when they were staying under the same roof?

Plus the urge to mow her down anytime he saw her in those sexy dresses. How was he supposed to deal with all of that?

Reynold sat down at the bus stop, waiting for the next bus to arrive. He raised his head and sighed and he dropped it.

A few minutes later, the bus arrived and Reynold left for the hospital.

Upon getting to the hospital, Reynold immed

    Things didn’t go as easy as Reynold had planned it, he didn’t expect his sister to be quite the quick-witted one. He also didn’t expect her to have some loose screws in the head that she’d think that the kind of marriage he is in is a very cool one.That took most part of what he was worried about off his mind but the most important part still awaited and he had to deliver that part making sure it doesn’t come off as the reason why he is doing all of this.Reynold stole a glance at her as both of them stood in front of the vending machine, he smiled smoothly and looked away before she caught him.Immediately she downturned her lips, disrupting her facial expression like she had swallowed something very disgusting. “Heeeuuw.”“What??” Reynold asked, arching one of his brow.“Don’t look at me like that and smile brother. It’s gonna make me puke I swear.” She declared and picked her canned drink as the machine spilled it out.She peeled it open and swayed as she walked, her steps were del

    Reynold silently watched the scenery of the cities turn to a blur of motion as the car sped forward. Everything for a moment seemed still. It had just been a day but he felt like it had been a week. So much had happened.He ran his mind back everything from catching his ex-girlfriend cheating on him with his port-belly boss and him getting beat for it, to meeting a damsel like Kayla then paying for his mother’s hospital bills and his sister too.There were a lot of reasons to be joyful about but only a bitter smile escaped his mouth and he knew the reason why. He wanted something more, and who wouldn’t with a pretty girl like her?He let out a sigh.“You know, I’ve been looking at you since you hoped into this cab.”The driver’s murky voice distracted his thoughts. Reynold shifted his attention to the man in front? Belatedly he noticed he wasn’t befitting the description of a man.He had brown curly hair, his eyes hung lazily over his face, his skin was rough – they hinted of his stru

    As the guy’s voice rose higher, the securities at the gathered around hem trying to control the situation but Rey’s so-called colleague only got fiercer and the situation only escalated.“You think because I’m your school mate you can take advantage of me or something cause bro where the fuck is my money?!”This was getting very embarrassing for Rey, he lowered his head in shame. He wasn’t even particular about himself. He didn’t always care about himself, but what about this matter that was so infuriating was that he desperately wished to protect Kayla’s reputation in all of this.Protecting her public image was the least he felt he owe her for how much she had helped him. Even though it was a contract marriage, he still felt much indebted to her.Rey bit his lips, desperately wishing all this ruckus can calm down whatever way.“Hey, did that bastard just hit my man?”Rey recognized that hoarse voice, it sounded tired this time and resonated with a degree of vexation – it was almost p

    “Wait! Did I hear you right?"Rey hurried to her front as she started walking."Yes, you did Rey. We are having dinner with my family tonight."She smiled as she walked past him. For some reason she seemed to enjoy the look on his face. He was so scared and worried. It was cute."That is why we will be selecting a new set of dress for you."Kayla sleekly turned to him, a cute smile sitting on her lips."What? Me?" Reynold was still dumbfounded.The attendants approached him with a subtle bow and demanded to escort him to the men clothing department.The store had an elegant and luxurious feel with dark wood furnishings, glass display cases, and warm lighting.Fine suits in a variety of fabrics and colors lined the walls neatly organized by style and size.At the back were fitting rooms with plush benches and large mirrors.The dressing rooms were separated by velvet curtains for privacy. The main floor had polished marble tile while upstairs had carpeting with leather chairs and sofas

    "This is the first rule I an going to give you." Kayla started as the car engine reeved into motion. “Do not speak too much. In fact, I don't see any reason why you should talk at all. My father along with my blood brother are very observant. They can pick up a minute detail from even just talking. My father is so observant he can pick where you come from, your social standards just by paying attention to how you speak."Reynold face tensed."But I don't have an accent or anything like that...""You don't need to. That's how he is. And we don't have to worry too much about that part as long as you keep your words brief and limited. My own brother. Hamish. I don't think he is going to show any particular interest in you but of course everyone at that place will be assessing you one way or the other."Reynold gulped."The ones you should be most careful around are my step brothers. Tate and Sean... oh and Lloyd too. Those three are sneaky and cunning. Especially Tate and Sean. They will

    The dinner began smoothly enough. Waiters swept in carrying trays laden with extravagant dishes - foie gras, oysters, rack of lamb, truffles and more. Expensive wine flowed freely as the group made small talk between bites.About halfway through the meal, the chairman turned his hawk-like gaze onto Reynold."So, tell me about yourself, young man. Where are you from originally?"Reynold swallowed nervously. "I grew up in a small town a few hours from here, sir. My father owned a modest hardware store before he passed away a few years ago. My mother has been ill but is recovering well now."The chairman nodded, his expression unreadable. "And how did you and my daughter come to meet?""We attended the same prestigious high school, sir," Reynold responded, relieved they had prepared this story."Hm. Oh? You went to the same high school with my daughter? Then you must have known her when she was a fat girl who loved eating." He laughed softly, the air around him took an abrupt change, ca

    Reynold followed the chairman down a long hallway lined with imposing oil paintings. He had no idea where they were going or what awaited him once they arrived.The chairman did not speak or look back even once and silence weighed heavily on Reynold, his mind racing. Had he made a terrible mistake by speaking up like that? Destroyed any chance of gaining this imposing man's approval?At last they reached a pair of grand wooden doors. The chairman entered without preamble. Reynold belatedly noticed a man that paused and stood to the side. He could swear he didn't know someone was following him all along. The man had a piercing cold gaze just like the chairman but wore rectangular framed glassed.Reynold hesitated a moment, glanced one look at the man before stepping in after the chairman.Where he entered appeared to be a private study. Bookshelves laden with leatherbound volumes lined the walls. The chairs and desk looked antique and meticulously cared for.The chairman went to a sm

    Kayla had grown up ignored and dismissed in this patriarchal home. Her fiery passion and business acumen meant nothing here - without her brother to speak for her, she may as well not exist in her father's eyes.How many times had she turned to Hamish over the years, forced to hide behind his victories and advocacy to have any chance of realizing her ambitions? It grated at her soul.She had hoped marrying Reynold would finally allow her to grasp some independence. With him as a passive husband, a trophy to legitimize her while staying neatly out of her way, she could finally take center stage and prove her abilities, prove to them that she was better.Or so she had thought. But his outburst tonight had ruined everything. Kayla could feel the fragile control she had managed to get after years of hardwork slipping through her fingers again. She didn't want to support of any man. That would just be the same thing repeating itself. She had strictly married Reynold because she thought

    One life ends. Another begins. Such was the world.That was what Rey was thinking as he fondled his ten-month-old baby girl distractedly. He still felt empathy toward Hamish, even though it irritated him. Hamish was his brother-in-law. He shouldn't try to kill him. Nobody's brother-in-law should try to kill him. But unfortunately, that was life. Things happened even when they were absurd, even when they where undesirable.They had charged Hamish and his aide, Sparks, with manslaughter, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder. Whenever Reynolds thought about it, he shook his head. It was bad. If either of the two men received a light sentence, it would be life. That was what Hamish got for throwing his life away. On the other hand, the world had not skipped a beat. The three of them had recovered fully (at least physically) himself, Kayla, and the Chairman. The Chairman was no longer a 'Chairman,' corporately, legally, and technically. To Reynolds he was now only a father in-

    Sparks was looking for that one lucky strike.He had tailed Hamish, parked far from sight, approached the building on foot, scaled the fence and come in unnoticed. All according to plan. He knew Hamish was with Reynolds already, and they had been speaking for a few minutes. Hopefully, the stage was well set for his arrival.He went round the building, loathing that he had to use the stairs instead of the elevator. His job always sucked and he hated it.The building was generally deserted as planned. Yes... perfect. At the bottom of the stairs he paused, said a lucky prayer, then set the timer on his watch. Ten minutes for everything... Godspeed.****Hamish and the Chairman stared at each other in bewilderment for seconds."I heard you son. Everything you said," his father told him. For a moment Hamish's mind was blank as he stood transfixed, still holding Reynolds at gun point. Slowly he collected himself, becoming even angrier."I'm not upset at you. Only disappointed. But I don't

    If there could be any reason to spare Sparks life and dispose of him, it was the fact that he had an instinct. He hadn't been a henchman these years for nothing. He knew a trap when he saw one. So, when he phoned the doctor requesting to have the package ready by noon, he became aware that he was not speaking to him.Well, technically, he was. But situationally, he wasn't. The doctor was damaged goods now. He sensed that the guy was bugged.How it happened, he had no idea. But it happened real fast.He phoned Hamish and told him. They'd have to take care of the guy, but not too soon, so they don't throw off a scent. It was a tricky situation for the tricky-minded. The better move now, Hamish told him, was to go directly for Reynolds.There were reasons for this. Beforehand, he had noticed that Kayla had vanished from the hospital ward where she was being treated. Of course, he didn't ask questions or raise suspicions (since the hospital staff couldn't link him to Kayla). But Hamish

    There was one more person to put away when the scheme was done with. That doctor.As much as Hamish hated to deal with it, another clumsy character on the scene meant another loose end. He was going to go all out till he got his package... and till it worked. They he'd pay the man in full before making him disappear.Of course basic logic would question his choice of paying first. He just thought it necessary to stick to one's part of a deal no matter what. So he'd pay the man's family for his service, then kill him. He knew he'd needed a new aide for that job, since Sparks would have to go, too. Either in the process or after the process.In fact, he had started to feel a sense of urgency to do away with Sparks before something spilled. The man was already becoming disgruntled. He was already becoming too important. Nobody became too important with Hamish.But first Sparks needed to get the dirty work done, before he eliminated and dissociated him.****When Benny launched himself

    Doctor Benny liked the concept of a bright future. He had always liked it and other terms like it. Future. Success. Opportunity. Yes, that one. Opportunity. There wasn't very much of it for him in his profession. He wasn't poor or anything—of course he had stuff to be grateful for. But he sensed it could be more. So he tried to get more.Wen he had got the call from Hamish's aide to get a lethal solution ready, he, as any rational person, did not like it. But what choice did he have? His wife was a compulsive shopper and his children sometimes forgot he wasn't a billionaire. So he asked himself what he had to lose and the answer was not much. He didn't know if he had a strong or weak conscience. He only knew he could use the money they were offering. He took the offer. He had hoped it would be a one-off thing. Prepare the solution, have it delivered, get his money, forget any of it ever happened. Now it was staring him on the face. That was the problem with crime. It made for str

    Impatiently, the Chairman waited for Rey to arrive. More than clarity, he needed to prove to his son-in-law—and himself—that he was mistaken. If they hadn't been from Rey, he would have paid the messages no heed. He found it rather confusing under the given circumstances. He waited in his topfloor office in the conglomerate that morning, when he should have been busy with other concerns. Reynolds needed to explain. It was not that the strings had no connection whatsoever. No, the Chairman wasn't imprudent. It was the way they connected. And the who they connected to. Those were the things he could not accept. At least, not without hard, infallible proof.His desk phone beeped and he picked it up. It was Rezei, asking if he wanted to see Reynolds."Yes, let him come," he said. Then he glanced sharply at the central air conditioner, feeling like the temperature in the room had fallen by a hinedered degrees Celsius in one second. The door opened almost immediately to reveal Reynolds

    Hamish was painstaking meticulous at planning. He knew when things could go slow, when they could go fast, and when they needed to go fast. Killing Rey was a fast game. It had to be if it would be played, as it was also a cagey game. Not that he was not a cagey man, or that he doubted his own genius. His master-mind. Rather, because he knew that perfection was not cheap, and if you were going to kill your next-door neighbour without taking a dent, you required perfection.He had two usable routes. One was direct: strike Rey. This required precision and care, seeing as the man had become his father's favourite. The other was a bit more accommodating: Strike Rey through Kayla. That is, strike Kayla, and when it impacted and exposed Reynolds, he’d then put the man to rest permanently.Being the genius that he was, Hamish kept both routes open. It would be like a double barrel, a kill-both-birds-with-one-stone formula. He was almost enjoying the prospect. All his track would be clean.

    The police never got around to finding Riker. He was ghost, they said. Came and went as he pleased. In truth, he was aboard the next flight out of the country after the Johns foiled his coup. With his absence came peace. The Chairman gave Reynolds a position in the company to work alongside Hamish. Kayla's baby continued to grow, her belly ballooned, pushing against her buttons. For the couple and the Johns, the world seemed a kindlier place.All except Hamish.He was angered by the turn of events, especially with Reynolds' new position as his managerial superior. Bloody Reynolds? His Superior! They had no inkling what he was capable of. Maybe he would have to show them. By himself this time. He would restore his honor by taking out all his enemies and their accomplices, in any form they manifested. Including those who directly limited him, and those who did so indirectly, by being dumb and sluggish, by playing with his goals.The first, perfect victim would be Grant.Luckily, a d

    The tracker vanished all of a sudden and Jovian's head jerked with a start. He had been watching his wearable monitor almost boredly up till it happened. “What the--?" He spat."What?" asked Ceneau who had also been observant."Do we move?" one of the aides asked. Jovian nodded. He dd not want to say that the tracker had been lost. They'd just drive to where it was last seen.Everybody prepared hastily. Even Ceneau fiddled with a rifle he probably couldn't use. They piled in and hit the gas, hard.****The first thing Reizei did was strike the overhead sensor. He guessed that damaging it could shut the mantap on one end (for both doors) and lock half the guards out momentarily. And it worked. The only people to cross were the three of them, Riker, and about half the escort party.Once Reynolds grabbed the nearest guard's gun, he had acted, ramming his fist into the circular sensor above his head. There were screams, including his.The Chairman scrambled. The guard behind Reizei gra
