RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 240 - MALAKAI WAYS
The sun was slowly dipping behind the horizon, painting the sky in a breathtaking array of oranges and pinks. Alex sat in the backseat of the car, his gaze fixed on the rearview mirror as his driver navigated the bustling expressway. The thunderous bass of the music blasting through the speakers pulsed in sync with the movements of Alex's head as he munched absentmindedly on a bowl of cheese balls. The driver's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his brow furrowed in concentration. Alex cleared his throat, shifting in his seat to get a better view of the driver through the rearview mirror. "Yooo, you looked lost. Do you even know where we're headed?" Alex asked, his voice slightly muffled by the music. The driver glanced up briefly, nodding. "Of course I do... We're going to Hiram Decks Hotel. I am not lost in thoughts," he replied, his tone calm and professional. Alex nodded, then hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Well, that's valid enough. Uhm.
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 241 - THE FOUR MEN IN BLACK
As they approached the corner, a black jeep suddenly appeared, blocking their path. The driver slammed on the brakes, the car jerking to a stop just inches from the jeep. Alex frowned, his irritation evident as he and the driver alighted from the car to confront whoever was driving the car. "What the hell!" Alex cursed, waiting for whoever was driving the car to come out. He couldn't see anyone because of how tinted the glasses were. Just then, the four doors of the jeep opened, and four men in the same outfit, black suits, black hats, and black shoes emerged, their expressions stern and serious. The driver stepped forward, his voice raised. "What the hell is the meaning of this? How dare you block our way like that!" One of the men in black exchanged a glance with his companions, then turned his gaze to the driver. "Move aside, we are not here for you," he said, his tone commanding. Alex moved closer to the man, his eyes narrowed. "Who do you t
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 242 - A TASK
India paced back and forth alone in the courtyard, her expression serious and gloomy as she held her phone in her hand, dialing a number, the phone hanging on her ear each time she called. The phone rang several times as she kept redialing over and over but there was no response. India hadn't been able to get hold of herself since the text she got in her office that says, "Now, I have a task for you." India stomped her feet in frustration, her eyes filling with unshed tears. She walked up to the wooden bench at one side of the courtyard and sat down, dropping her phone as her face buried in her palms. The warm morning sun shone down on the lush greenery of the courtyard, the gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the towering trees that lined the perimeter. India's shoulders rose and fell with each deep, shaky breath she took, trying to compose herself. The weight of whatever was troubling her seemed to press down upon her, making it difficult to breathe. Ju
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 243 - WHERE IS ALEX?
Just then, the sound of footsteps approaching drew India's attention, and she looked up to see Magnus. Magnus was a tall, handsome figure, his casual white t-shirt and jeans doing little to conceal the well-defined muscles of his physique. As he approached, he bowed slightly, his expression one of respect and concern. "You summoned me, my lady?" he said, his voice low and steady. India managed a small smile, quickly wiping away the tears that had begun to gather in her eyes. "Yes, Magnus, how was your trip to Tanzania? Father told me about the challenges y'all had to face. Please, have a seat." Magnus shook his head, his brow furrowing slightly. "I'm fine standing, my lady. It was South Africa we visited, and thanks for your concern. It's actually one of the best trip we've had this year." India's smile wavered, and she gently patted the empty space on the bench beside her. "I insist. I won't be comfortable having this conversation with you if you're s
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 244 - WHERE IS ALEX 2
India sat at the dining table, absentmindedly scrolling through her phone as she finished her breakfast. India's lips curled into a small smile as she read through a particularly promising email from one of their business partners. Things seemed to have been going well for the company lately, and she felt a sense of pride swell within her. Just then, India's mother approached the table, a kind smile on her face. "Good morning, dear," she said, her voice soft and gentle. India looked up, her smile widening as she greeted her mother. "Good morning, Maria," she replied, her tone cheerful. "You look stunning today? I love your outfit." Maria tilted her head slightly, her brow furrowing with curiosity. "Well, thank you... I can't remember the last time you actually genuinely compliment my outfit, thanks. You seem to be in a very good mood this morning," she observed. "May I ask what has you smiling so much? And I want to believe that's the reason you complimented me
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 245 - MALAKAI'S INFLUENCE
"Malakai?" she murmured, her fingers trembling slightly as she answered the call. "Hello?" "India, dear," Malakai's smooth voice purred through the line, "how are you? I have been looking forward to your call since you left the headquarters but I got no calls from me and I was just very worried. How have you been?" India stood up from the swing she had been sitting on, her grip on the phone tightening. "I'm...I'm doing alright, thanks for your concern," she replied, her tone tinged with wariness. "Is there any reason in particular you called?" There was a brief pause, and India could practically feel the weight of Malakai's gaze even through the phone. "Well, you see, I have a business idea that I think will blow your mind," he said, his voice laced with excitement. "Oh wow, really? And what is that about?" India asked with a smirk on her face. "Well, this is not something I can talk over the phone... But this one idea is something that could take us, I
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 246 - DUMBBELL
A sleek black sedan glided effortlessly into the driveway of the Hiram Decks Hotel, its polished exterior reflecting the grandeur of the imposing structure before it. Nestled in the heart of Launceston, the Hiram Decks Hotel was a bastion of luxury and exclusivity, its reputation for unparalleled service and security drawing in the city's most influential and discerning clientele. It happened to be the third most sort after Hotel after The Loughty House and The Gremlins Resort. As the car gently swerved into the expansive parking lot, the presence of the two occupants instantly commanded attention. India Avendano, her regal bearing and striking features, exuded an air of confidence that belied her youthful appearance and beside her was her father. Alighting from the vehicle, India and Xavier were immediately greeted by a flurry of activity. Ladies in crisp, uniform attire scurried to attend to them, their movements efficient. However, even though this was li
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 247 - TURN OF EVENTS
The receptionist's brow furrowed, but she dutifully began typing the new name into the system. After a few moments, she shook her head, her lips pursed in apology. "I'm sorry, but there's no record of anyone by that name either," she said, her gaze shifting between Xavier and India. Xavier's gaze pierced hard into the eyes of the receptionist, he leant closer to the counter, lowering his voice, "Listen, I know you're probably following orders. But tell me, did Alexander tell you not to tell anyone that he's here? Just tell me the truth and we will work out of here." The receptionist frowned in annoyance, staring back at Xavier and chuckled humorlessly. "What are you even talking about? You thought I have been lying to you? Really? Did you even know it's very inappropriate to give the details of our customer to strangers, but I decided to help and you're calling me a liar? I am so disappointed in you, Mr Man." "You know what? This conversation is over with you. Call

As Nicholas and Ryan got back to the mansion, Nicholas turned to Ryan, his expression grim. "Ryan, make research on every possible place Malakai could be at the moment and the kinds of appointments he have. You need to be quick with it," he said, his voice laced with urgency. Ryan nodded, already moving towards the study. "I'll get started on it right away," he assured, his footsteps echoing down the hall. An hour later, Ryan returned, a triumphant gleam in his eye. "I think I've found something," he announced, handing Nicholas a sheet of paper. "What is it?" Nicholas asked, his gaze scanning the document. "The last call Malakai made was to a man named Alvonso, he also made a call last night to the same man," Ryan explained. "They agreed to meet at a place called 'Dark Centre.' I don't know where that is, do you?" Nicholas felt a chill run down his spine. "Dark Centre," he murmured, his expression darkening. "Yes. I know it well. Malakai has used it as a

Nicholas sat in his lounge, staring pensively out the window as he munched on the fresh fruit arranged on the table before him. The late afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the glass, illuminating the worry etched on his brow. He had much to contemplate. While Nicholas was munching on the fruits, Ryan, strode into the room. Ryan's expression was unreadable as he placed a manila file on the table in front of Nicholas. "I have some news," he said simply, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl and taking a bite. Nicholas looked up, his eyes narrowing. "Good news or bad news? All I've been hearing you guys tell me since I came back is bad news, I don't want anymore." he asked cautiously. Ryan shrugged noncommittally. "That depends on how you look at it, I don't know if it's good or bad," he replied, chewing contemplatively. Feeling a growing sense of unease, Nicholas sat up straighter. "Well, what is it then?" he pressed. With a heavy sigh, Ryan met Nichola

CHAPTER 276 - REGRET
India's heart sank, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of this new revelation. The thought made her stomach churn with a mixture of betrayal and fury. She glanced out the window, noting that the day was waning, the sky slowly shifting to a deeper shade of blue. Turning back to Alexander, she reached out and grasped his hand, her gaze soft and reassuring. "I'm going to stay with you tonight," she said, her voice firm. "I want to be here, to make sure you're safe. He knows you're alive now, he might wanna try something stupid." Alexander smiled, his eyes brightening with relief. "Thank you, India. I'm glad you're here." The next morning, India rose early. She had slept fitfully, her dreams plagued by visions of her cousin in peril and Malakai's betrayal. As she dressed, she glanced back at Alexander, who was still soundly asleep. "I'll be back soon," she whispered, pausing to press a kiss to his forehead before slipping out of the room.

CHAPTER 275 - DON'T DO IT
India rushed through the hospital's lobby, her footsteps echoing against the floors as she made her way to the front desk. Her heart pounded with anticipation. Just as she reached the counter, a familiar face caught her eye. "Dr. Sinclair!" India called out, her voice laced with relief. The physician turned and greeted India with a warm smile. "Lady Avendano, I'm so glad you're here," Dr. Sinclair said, gesturing for India to follow her. "I was hoping to speak with you." India fell into step beside the doctor, her gaze fixed on the woman's face, searching for any sign of good news. "How is Alexander doing? Is he awake? Can I see him? Even if not talk to him, it's my right you know it." Dr. Sinclair nodded, her expression reassuring. "Calm down, Lady Avendano. You have nothing to worry about, at all... your cousin has made remarkable progress. He's been asking for you, actually. If you'll come with me, I'll take you to his room." India's breath caught in her

CHAPTER 274 - CANDACE'S ARREST
India gripped the steering wheel tightly as she navigated the winding road. Her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of what had happened at home, how she just ended things with Malakai and Alexander, and the anticipation of seeing him was building with each passing mile. Maybe this time around, he'd be able to talk or say something. Suddenly, a familiar beeping from her phone disrupted the hum of the engine. India's brow furrowed as she glanced down, her eyes landing on the message notification that had just popped up. It was from the unknown number again. Her heart skipped a beat, as she clicked on the message and she read the ominous words: "You did a great job with Nimah. While I am very not satisfied with what you did, I am willing to reward you. Are you ready to know who killed your grandfather?" India's fingers trembled as she stared at the screen, her breath catching in her throat. She knew she should ignore the message, continue on to the hospital. But the curiosity that h

CHAPTER 273 - IT'S A PLOT
Malakai's eyes flashed with a mixture of confusion and hurt. He just didn't want to agree. "I don't understand. We've been working towards this for so long. The plan was foolproof. Why would you refuse to work with me now?" India offered him a small, sympathetic smile. "I know, and I appreciate all the work you've put into it. But my mind is made up. If you don't mind, I really should be going now." She rose from her chair, smoothing her hands over her skirt once more. Malakai nodded slowly, his expression resigned. "I see. Well, I respect your decision, India. I wish you all the best." India inclined her head. "Thank you, Malakai. And I'm sorry I have to leave so soon, but I have somewhere I need to be." "Oh, so soon. Where are you going though?" Malakai asked, his brows furrowing once more. "I need to get to the hospital as soon as possible," India replied, her voice soft. "Hospital? Are you sick?" "Oh no... I'm actually going to visit Alexande

CHAPTER 272 - OAUIS
India sat at the cafe table, her fingers drumming lightly against the smooth, wooden surface as she glanced down at her wristwatch. Ten minutes had passed since she'd arrived, and there was still no sign of Malakai. Tucking an errant strand of her dark hair behind her ear, India scanned the bustling cafe, her gaze settling on the entrance as Malakai's familiar car finally pulled up. Malakai alighted from the vehicle, slowly making his way across the crowded patio. India felt a small smile tug at the corners of her lips as he approached, and when they met, she welcomed him with a warm embrace. "I'm so glad you could make it," Malakai said, his voice soft, as they pulled apart. India's face was alight with a bright smile, her hazel eyes twinkling. "Of course. I wouldn't miss this for the world." She laughed. "Haha, well, thank you for coming in such a short notice," Malakai said again as he gestured to the empty chair across from her, "Please, have a seat my la

CHAPTER 271 - TALK OF THE DEVIL
Another round of shocked gasps filled the air, the family members trading bewildered glances. Leafer, Nimah's elder sister, rose from her seat as she narrowed her gaze, her finger pointing accusingly at Nimah. "Wait, which Nicholas are you talking about, Nee?" she demanded, her voice laced with a hint of skepticism. "Nicholas Loughty of the Royal group, or Nicholas, the manager of KMT markets?" Nimah chuckled, her expression nonchalant. "I'm actually referring to India's husband, Nicholas," she stated matter-of-factly. "He and I have been... intimate. And here I am, carrying his baby in my womb. A dream come true, if you ask me." The room erupted into a cacophony of shocked exclamations, the family members struggling to comprehend the Nimah's words. Xavier, his face flushed with a mix of anger and disbelief, rose from his seat again, his gaze fixed on Nimah. "Do you realize what you're saying, Nimah?" he questioned, his voice tight with barely contained fury.

CHAPTER 270 - WHAT!?
India stepped out of her room, her carefully made-up face masking the tiredness etched on her soul. Three sleepless nights had taken their toll, her worry for Alexander's recovery consuming her every waking moment. The doctor had to assure her that Alexander would be fine before she agreed to go home. India's grasped the doorknob, taking a deep breath before pulling the door open. It's another day to go check on Alexander, hoping he would finally be able to say a word to her. As the door opened fully, her eyes landed on the figure standing before her. Nimah stood there at the doorstep with a hesitant expression on her face, hands clasped tightly together in front of her. India's brow furrowed in confusion, her mind racing to piece together why Nimah would be waiting at her doorstep. "Nimah?" she questioned, a slight edge to her tone. "What are you doing here? What the hell? You scared me... How long have you been standing there?" Nimah swallowed hard, her gaz
