RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 251 - ON YOUR MARK
As soon as her mother was out of sight, India's expression shifted, a determined glint sparking in her eyes. She reached into the pocket of her designer jacket, retrieving her phone and quickly dialing a number. Impatiently, she waited for the call to connect, her fingers drumming against the polished marble surface beside her. After several rings, the line clicked, and a deep, familiar voice answered. "Malakai, where have you been?" India demanded, her words laced with frustration. "I've been calling you, and you didn't answer. Your phone should always be with you." There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, and India could almost picture Malakai's brow furrowing in response. "I'm sorry, India," he replied, his tone apologetic. "I was... preoccupied with some people. But when I realized it could be an emergency, I decided to take a rain check and answer right away. What is the problem? Is it an emergency?" India let out a heavy sigh, her free hand
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 252 - IT IS MALAKAI
The board of directors sat in stunned silence, their eyes widening in shock as they turned their gaze towards India. "Mr Avendano is missing?" Mrs. Marica, the eldest female member of the board, uttered in disbelief, her brow furrowed with concern. "Oh no, have you informed the police already?" India shook her head, her lips pressed into a thin line. "Unfortunately no, I haven't informed the police. And I don't think I will... I don't want to involve the police," she said, her gaze unwavering. "And all of you are probably wondering why so. It is because I don't want any of the board of directors to go to jail. You can drop the act, I found out what happened already." The directors exchanged confused glances, their faces etched with bewilderment. Mr. Colehem, a seasoned businessman with a reputation for his no-nonsense approach, rose from his seat, his features hardening. "What are you talking about, Lady Avendano?" he demanded, his voice laced with a hint of
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 253 - THE TASK
As Mr. Colehem opened his mouth to speak, Mrs. Marica cut him off, her voice tinged with a hint of concern. "My lady, you're right. There was a... a little bit of misunderstanding between the board and Alexander on Monday, it was nothing deep believe me," she admitted, her gaze shifting uncomfortably. India raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a subtle smirk. "Could you elaborate on what happened that day, Mrs. Marica?" she asked, her tone deceptively mild. Mrs. Marica hesitated, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "Well, when you stormed out of the conference room so abruptly, we all thought it was because of something Alexander had said to you. We had alot to discuss with you that day and we thought he was the one who ruined our chance of having a conversation with you," she explained, her words coming out in a rush. "We asked him about it, but he flared in anger, he said alot of things I can't even remember but when we tried to talk back, he
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 254 - WHO IS IN THE SHADOW
India heard a soft knock at her bedroom door and her heart raced. She quickly hid her phone under the pillow, praying her mother wouldn't notice. She had been acting suspicious all day that her mother had to confront her on why she had been stealing glances at her phone all day. The door creaked open slowly, revealing Maria. Maria's sharp eyes swept the room, her neatly-manicured brows raised in question. "Is something the matter, dear?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of concern. India forced a smile, shaking her head. "No, Mother. Why do you ask?" "Hmm." Maria hummed, not entirely convinced. She stepped further into the room, the soft fabric of her evening gown rustling. "You do know what's happening tonight, don't you?" India chuckled lightly. "Of course mom, I do." She rose from the bed, smoothing a hand over the delicate lace trim of her robe. "Then, why are you yet to dress up? Your cousins and nephews are ready. Your uncles told me the
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 255 - YOUR FATHER
India hesitated for a while, her gaze sweeping the courtyard one last time, but she reluctantly nodded and allowed her mother to guide her back inside. "I'll go ensure that everything is going right on the other quarter," Maria said, releasing India's hand. "Why don't you take a few moments to collect yourself? I'm sure you're just as excited as I am for this evening's festivities." India offered a wordless nod, watching as her mother disappeared down the hall. Alone now, she slowly made her way back to her room, running a hand through her hair as she went. The events of the past few hours had left her feeling unsettled, a lingering sense of unease gnawing at the pit of her stomach. For some reason, she still couldn't shake off the feeling that there was someone hiding at that corner, however, she was at the same time trying to convince herself that she was just imagining things. Pushing open the door to her chamber, India stepped inside, her gaze immediately
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 256 - THE DINNER 1
India stepped into the courtyard, the gentle sway of her white gown catching the warm evening breeze. The majestically decorated space came alive under the soft glow of the moonlight, every detail carefully considered to create an atmosphere of elegance and grandeur. As India walked, the glittering fabric seemed to dance across her figure, drawing admiring gazes from the assembled guests. The courtyard was already bustling with activity, the dinner party in full swing. Soft, solemn music played in the background, providing a soothing accompaniment to the low hum of conversation. India's entrance did not go unnoticed, and as she made her way through the crowd, every eye turned to her, captivated by her poise and beauty. The media representatives in attendance rushed forward, cameras flashing and microphones extended, eager to capture this moment. India smiled brightly, acknowledging the attention with graceful waves as she navigated through the throng of g
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 257 - SIT AND WATCH
The table lapsed into an uncomfortable silence once again as everyone focused on their meals, the tension palpable in the air. After a moment, Lady Ravenhood spoke up, her voice warm and genuine. "Lady Avendano, I must confess... the food is simply wonderful," she said, her eyes shining with genuine admiration. "You've truly outdone yourself as a host, considering this is the first dinner you'll be hosting as a lady. I must give you the accolades." India offered the woman a grateful smile. "Mrs. Ravenhood, you're too kind," she said, her voice tinged with genuine appreciation. "Please, you don't mention. I only wanted to ensure our guests were well cared for. And just like you said, it's my first dinner, it is supposed to be perfect." Before Lady Ravenhood could say another word in response, Robin interjected, his gaze fixed on India. "That reminds me, speaking of guests, I haven't seen Alexander Avendano around," he said, his tone laced with a hint of cu
RISE OF THE EX-CONVICT CHAPTER 258 - ALEXANDER JAMES AVENDANO
The air was thick with anticipation as India stood at the center of the courtyard, her gaze sweeping across the sea of faces that had been drawn to her unexpected summons. The assembled guests held their collective breath, their eyes riveted on the her while they waited for her to make whatever announcement it was. They had no idea if it was about business or anything, but who wouldn't honor the invite of the first lady in the twenty first century. Everyone wanted to be on India's good book because they know the opportunity that comes with it. India savored the moment, relishing the palpable tension that blanketed the courtyard. She knew this announcement would send shockwaves through her world, but the time had come to confront the truth, no matter the cost. At least, she would gain a thing from it and it wasn't that she was going to keep it as a secret forever. And as a matter of fact, if she refused to, she would be the person to be blamed if it ever gets
