Following that, Rex saw the helicopter taking aim, its missile launcher trained on them, and knew they were about to fire. Without hesitation, he grabbed Selena, who was stunned and disoriented from the crash, and burst out of the car, pulling her to safety just as the missile struck, sending a blast of flames and smoke into the air.The blast blew the car's metallic parts and surrounding rocks to smithereens, sending debris flying everywhere. Then, five individuals jumped out of the helicopter, which was hovering 80 meters above. As they landed, the ground cracked and shockwaves radiated outward, causing the earth to tremble. Despite their varied appearances, Rex sensed their immense strength due to the intense pressure they emitted, which caused his suit to beep incessantly. Their powerful auras made Rex's skin crawl, and he knew he was in for a fierce battle.Selena still struggling to resist the pain which was making her eardrums hurt badly finally lifted her head and spot the fi
2:34 PMLois Angelis City, De Vegas Luxurious Hotel~With an envelope in his hand, Rex who just stepped out of the taxi couldn't help but appreciate the towering ten-story skyscraper with the enormous sign hung on top which had the word 'De Vegas Luxurious Hotel' written on it in large, bold letters. The entire construction was made of glass from the outside, and the entrance was guarded by four burly men, despite the presence of CCTV cameras.Without a moment to spare, he strode through the security door and into the foyer. As he approached the reception desk, he observed the woman seated behind it. She reclined in her chair with a composed professional demeanour, Before he could speak, the woman spoke first. "Welcome to the De Vegas Luxurious Hotel, Sir. How may I assist you?'' she said, her tone warm and professional.''I'm here to deliver a message to a certain Sir Grey. Can you let him know that Rex, son-in-law of the Walker family, is here with a letter for him?"''Certainly,
Just then, his phone rang.Staring at his phone screen, Rex discovers it has turned half blank possibly from being kicked back then by the overzealous securities.Without identifying the person phoning, he picked it."Hello?""... Rex?" As soon as Rex heard the voice which hasn't called or talked to him for the past three years because of the mistakes he made, he couldn't help but quiver.Remembering how he was told to choose between the family or his lover and his choice, Rex felt ashamed and downcast thinking about his current situation.Truly he was blinded by love."Gra... Grandpa." He responded in a soft voice that most will find hard to hear."I'm glad you're alright. It's been a while, how are you doing?"_I definitely won't have been alright for long_ Rex thought while looking down at the bridge as he felt the courage he accumulated to execute suicide vanish like a puff of smoke."I'm doing great.""Well, that is pleasant. Rex, I don't have much to say now. We will discuss th
"Young man you will pay for this! This phone is the Falckon Midnight Diamond Edition from Goldgenie - it's a customized iPhone 12 Pro! that retails for a cool damn $4.5 MILLION and I won't take an apology as an answer I swear on my dead grandfather!!!"_Oh great, look where my anxiety has taken me_ Rex groaned as he stood up from the floor too.Looking at the lady whom he bashed into, She looks to be in her early twenties, with a model-like figure. Her dark brown eyes sparkle with intelligence and mischief. Her hair is long and shiny, framing her face perfectly. She wears a white suit, tailored to perfection, and she exudes confidence and an air of arrogance just like a peacock with every step. She looks like an Italian beauty straight out of a fashion magazine, and her style is both elegant and effortless. She's the kind of woman who turns heads wherever she goes...Slap!Rex who was lost in his thoughts was jolted awake when he felt a stinging pain on his left cheek. "You lowly foo
"Today we all gather to watch as my daughter Silvia Medici divorces her husband Rex, as before me is the divorce paper..." The head of the family, Ambrose let out.As the patriarch of the Medici clan, Ambrose Medici's voice echoed throughout the lavish meeting room, making the weight of his words settle over the room like a dark cloud. Silvia, patriarch Ambrose and the rest's icy gazes bore into Rex, who subconsciously squirmed under their judgemental stares. Rex's expression morphed into one of unease as he processed Ambrose's announcement. He shifted in his seat, acutely aware of the Medici family's piercing, haughty stares. He could sense their contemptuous energy washing over him like a cold, bitter tide, making him feel small and inconsequential. It was as if he was nothing more than a lowly peasant groveling at the feet of royalty. His shoulders slumped, resigned to the uncomfortable situation at hand._Sigh, I should have realized this was the motive for them ordering me back.
Los Angeles, LA Runway Royale INTL Airport ~It is one of the most beautiful international airports in Los Angeles. Just seeing the sleek glass and steel construction, with bold geometric lines and a massive sign featuring the airport's name LA Runway Royale INTL Airport in bright, neon lights makes one feel like he's in a different world.Walking in, Rex couldn't help but appreciate the high ceilings, with modern art installations and luxury shops lining the spacious corridors. The terminals are all decked out in trendy colours and finishes, with plush seating and high-tech check-in kiosks. Natural light floods in through floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the whole place a bright, airy feel._Sigh, time to head towards home._ He thought as he headed towards the ticketing counter which was one of the most bustling hubs of activity, with multiple agents working feverishly to assist a steady stream of passengers. The sleek, modern desk was adorned with the airport's signature colours,
Los Angeles Airport Police Department~Inside a small, windowless room with stark white walls and a metal door with a small window. There's a single fluorescent light overhead, and the only furniture is a metal bench attached to the wall. The room is bare and unwelcoming, but it's clean and well-lit. The overall feeling is one of sterility and isolation.Rex, who was fuming with rage was seated on the bench.His expression wasn't pleasant to the eyes.He couldn't help but recall the scene in the airport, no matter how badly he tried to explain to the police, none of them listened to him.Heck! They even refused to check the CCTV camera footage, making him, Rex feel that something fishy was going on.Plus Grey's appearance there, he was 70% sure it was all Grey's handiwork."I do just want to murder that asshole." He let out in between his gritting teeth.Just then, he spots a police officer walking past his cage, Without wasting time, Rex dashes towards the locked door and yells."Off
Chapter 7: Rex returns..."So, let me get this straight..." Oliver said, leaning back in his seat while swirling the red wine in his glass. "You're telling me that someone set you up and framed you for a crime you didn't commit?"Right now they're in Oliver's private jet, heading back towards the family's headquarters located in Greenwood Country."No, not just a rich scion. He is a playboy. You know he took my wife, made me a laughing stock and sighed, he is such a scumbag.""Pfft, that guy is a joke. He's a disgrace to the Playboy way of life association. We're about class, wealth and young unmarried ladies, not about destroying families." Oliver scoffed, running his fingers through his hair with exaggerated nonchalance."Let's forget about him. So when will the competition be held?" Rex changed the topic, he never felt comfortable remembering Silvia. At the thought of her, he always remembered her sharp piercing words.Hearing those questions Oliver's countenance changed to a stern
