CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE Kate had received a call from her mother, it sounded urgent and suspicious at the same time. She had tried to ask why she had been called but she didn't answer. She told her she just wanted her to come home. She didn't bother to take any stuff with her and she didn't even plan to wake Mario up, she planned to make it discreet and leave with just a few guards but the moment she twisted the doorknob, she heard someone click his tongue several times. “Going somewhere Mrs Riverdale?” He asked and although she felt like a kid that had been caught trying to steal meat from the pot, she blushed. She loved the fact that he called her that name. It reminds her that she belongs to him, the adopted son of the Riverdales. “Mum called” was the short she gave and he nodded with a shrug. “That doesn't answer my question” he said again and she scoffed “I'm going to meet mum, at home. Question answered mr man?” She asked with a playful smile a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR “Step away” Maria yelled at Kate as she stood in front of her. “I'll end him, step out of the way Kate” she yelled but Kate didn't budge. She wrapped her arms around her waist in a tight hug. “Mum, mum” she called and Maria glared daggers at her. “Calm down” she said, a sympathetic look in her eyes “Please” she added and Maria yanked her arms off her, but she didn't charge towards the boy. She just stood her eyes red with anger and her hands akimbo. Kate turned to the boy, he tried to hide his face behind her father. “What did you do?” She asked. He cocked his brow at her as if her question sounded absurd. Kate noticed his actions but she didn't bother to react, she couldn't find herself exchanging words with a kid that might be half her age if she checked. “I did nothing, I couldn't sleep so I went to the back to get some fresh air, but then I saw her trimming the flowers” he paused for a little and Kate cocked her brows at him,
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE She was armed, so if he searched her, he would know and she couldn't probably kill him because if she did,the other would probably kill her too and then she would have died without a purpose and Owen would still be at the mercy of Danny. She thought of what to do, but as if her brain was on lockdown, nothing came up. She took a deep breath as the man came close. He started from her head down to her toe and yet, he didn't find anything. She thought he was about to step back when his eyes moved to her hands dipped into her hoodie. “Bring those hands out” he said and she felt her heart stop beating. It was now or never. “I said, bring those hands out” the man said this time, slower. Word for word. “Hey, are you deaf?” The other man asked as he drew near. She took a deep breath before making up her mind. She knew she was just delaying the inevitable. She thought of what to do,the other man had two guns pointed at her while the one close
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX “Hands up where I can see them” she heard him say again and she obeyed without complaining. She heard an engine roar and in no time, the whole place lit up. It seems they had put on the generator. She cursed as she saw the person pointing the gun at her. It was the man from earlier, the one she had not killed and she regretted that decision right now. She should have just killed him, but it was too late. Sb couldn't turn back the hand of time. She raised both of her hands up in the air and she saw another shooter come out from the back. It was Danny and it seems like the woman recognized her too because she smirked when she saw her. Tyla gave her a bored look, she had this haughty smile on her face. “What a surprise Tyla, looks like Owen couldn't man up and come by himself, so he sent you instead. That's funny” she said,her smirk not leaving her face. “Well, he didn't seem you worthy enough” Tyla replied with a calm smile and Danny cocke
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN Tamara sat on the couch in the sitting room, the only thought in her head being the discussion she had with Gabriel a few days ago. She couldn't wipe the thought off her head because as evil as it sounds, it was their best bet at the moment. She knew Daniel was her way out of this mess and he was her best option at getting the company back, but she couldn't possibly put her son in a situation like that What if the court decides to put him in jail instead? She wouldn't be able to live with that. And Daniel, she knew he would never agree to that. He would say she had it planned in her head all along so she could pin the whole thing on him in the first place. Their relationship was at the verge of sinking right now, she didn't want it to end up in the bottom of the ocean. She shook her head as she took a sip.if the wine in her cup. It was not strong, but she could feel herself getting high due to her lack of tolerance for alcohol. It's been a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHTWhat?” Tamara asked and the two girls fell on their knees, sobbing. She found the whole thing weird as she couldn't understand why her son would plan with the maids to kill her. It sounded unbelievable. The maid's sobs got louder by the minute, Daniel just watched everything with a bored look, he was amused by the drama playing in front of him. She turned to Daniel with rage. “You tried to kill me?” She asked but he gave her a disbelieving look. “And how is that? I was not the one who served you the drinks, she did” He said, pointing to the maid closer to where she sat. Although his words sounded stupid, she turned to the girl who knelt on the floor, sobbing loudly. “Hey you” she called, her voice, not one but friendly and the two of them raised their heads up to look at her. Her eyes were literally brimming with fire and stone at this moment. “Explain what happened here before I lose it” she said with raw anger and the girl used t
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE “Well, the swim coach asking the divers where the swimmers are. How does that sound? I made it myself” he said with a proud smile. “I'm not in the mood for those gibberish Daniel. If you have a problem, then just sort it out with me” she yelled again. He was tired of being treated like trash by her own son. Someone she carried in her womb for good nine months. He gave her a bored look and she knew that if he could stand up at this moment, he would walk away from her. “I do not have a problem. And if we are talking about problems here, then I think you should start with yourself. Thinking of throwing your son to the Frontline of the battle after starting a war is the most cowardly thing anyone on earth would do. I can possibly take it from Gabriel as he is not my biological father, but what about you? What about you?” He asked, his voice getting louder at the end of his statement “How bad do you think of me Daniel? I would not do such
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY Owen had been driving for the past two hours, half of which he had used to drive into town and the other half he had been using to locate Danny's house, but all his efforts were in vain. He had practically gone round the city twice and yet he couldn't locate it. She sure had a taste for peace and decorum, he commended her for that. He had been able to locate the house that day because Rina had been with him. He took deep breaths as he was clearly losing it. He needed to calm himself down. He tried calling Rina but the moment he picked up his phone, he wiped the idea off. They had an issue a few days ago, but that didn't mean she wouldn't call him. He knew she was at home, the guards had told him. But she didn't bother to ask for his whereabouts. If she couldn't call him, then why would he? That was the thought he had in mind as he ruled the idea off. He took a long deep breath as he tried to remember the landmarks he had used to locate the place
