Rise of The Outcast Chapter 17
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Tamara had been concerned about the partnership with Echelon. Ever since the day she signed the contract, she had been on tenter hooks. She felt he was trying to play some sick game but she couldn’t counter his attacks when she didn’t even know what the game was. She felt disturbed with the fact that Owen had chosen his two enemies out of all the eligible candidates. She knew that Owen still had her in mind so it came as a surprise to her when he choosed her company for the partnership. She had thought that he would refuse her contract immediately but he ended up accepting it. She was well aware that their companies were not the ones with the best deals but he had accepted theirs anyways. She was also surprised with the fact that he was the CEO of Echelon. She remembered clearly when she had collected the company from Owen after his father, her husband’s death. He had been devastated, depressed even. It felt as though his whole life had been collected

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN As soon as Tamara said those words, Daniel felt weak in the knees. His whole body felt as if a bucket of ice cold water was poured from his head to his toe. He staggered as he looked for somewhere to place his hand on. Tamara saw her son break down and she wept within her. All her life, Daniel had been her inspiration, her motivation and her love for him was beyond comprehension. It hurt her that she couldn’t do anything to soothe his pain at this moment and she could only watch and hope for him to regain himself. She had collected the company from Owen just to make Daniel happy and for some time now, he had been a lot better. It hurt her to see him like this. Daniel had a lot going through his mind. He had thought that Owen had nothing else. He thought that he had won against Owen when the company was collected from him. But it seemed like Owen came back stronger and this made him angrier. “And you were not planning to inform me about it right?” Daniel

CHAPTER NINETEEN It tasted good she had to admit. She didn’t know that Owen was a good cook. But somehow, she felt like he had made the food for her and she appreciated it. She had not eaten since yesterday and she was very hungry. Owen saw that she liked it even without her saying anything so he adde more to the plate. Mia took a seat close to the counter and dug into the food without a second thought. She ate until she was full and Owen took a bottle of water from the fridge and handed it to her as she downed it in one go. Mia opted to do the dishes but Owen blatantly refused so she just watched with him while he washed them, with some silly jokes in between. In no time, Owen was through with the dishes and they had to go back to the living room. Mia walked in front while Owen walked behind her. They sat in silence for a while, each person to their thoughts even though they had a lot in mind to say to the other. Owen was thinking of a way to ask her to work for him without sou

CHAPTER TWENTY It was mid afternoon and since Kate had no where to go, she choose to water the flowers in the garden. Maria had left for work and she was all alone by herself with the workers. She had to admit, she missed those moments she had with Owen but she couldn’t go back to that. She was tired of being under others, now she just wanted to be rich on her own. The flowers had overgrown, she noticed and since age was almost done with watering them, she decided to trim them. She went in to get the hand pruners. She was on her way to the store room when she heard a voice from outside. Maria had just arrived from the office and she was in high spirits. It appeared that the Riverdales had sent a token of their appreciation and support. She had asked the guards about Kate and they had informed her that she was in the garden. She walked to the garden and Kate wasn’t there but she saw the water kettle and so she guessed that it hasn’t been long she left. “Kate” Maria call

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE Owen broke out in cold sweat as the car gave him a tough chase, all the hole firing bullets at his car glass. If not for the fact that the car was bulletproof, then the glasses would have shattered by now. He was already driving above 120 as it stands and he couldn’t increase the speed further. They rained more bullets on his car and from the rear view mirror, he could see that another vehicle had joined and they were now two in number. He was about to make the final corner into his street when his phone tang and he saw that the caller was Mia. “Perfect timing” he mused before picking the call. Immediately he picked up the call, he could already hear Mia screaming his head out but he didn’t give her the chance to talk “Mia” he called but she didn’t reply, rather she continued yelling “Mia” he shouted this time and Mia clasped her mouth shut “Look Mia, the gateman is on a little vacation right now and the remote is in the security room, take the remote a

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO “Go in” Owen heard the voice of someone, most probably their leader as he commanded the others to move in. Just as Owen suspected earlier, the assassins were professionals as they moved swiftly without even as much as a sound on the wooden floor. Owen observed his room, looking for an escape route incase things goes south or if his father didn’t make it on time. He heard them push the first door down and his mind skipped a beat. They wasted some time before breaking down the second door. It seemed like they had thoroughly searched the room. They did this to like three more doors before finally getting to his room door. He was scared out of his wits and the first instinct that kicked into him was to run. But he knew that Mia’s room was just a room from his and if they couldn’t get a hold of him, they would not think twice about having those ones killed. So he stood there unmoving as they hit the door the first time. The other doors were not locked from with

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Gabriel had left and Iwen was helping Mia and the other two arrange the place. The perpetrators had caused a mess in the whole place and he couldn’t just stand by and watch them suffer alone so he opted to joined them admits their protest. It was past 2:00 in the morning but there was no sign of sleep in their eyes. The adrenaline that pumped through their body had taken every trace of sleep from their eyes. The whole place reeked of gunpowder even though it had been hours since the attack. The whole things in the suiting room were in place apart from they scattered around. All the expensive stuffs in there and they took nothing, not even a penny out of it. They made it clear they they were her for one thing and it was to end his life. He didn’t even know that he was such a bad ass driver until today. He was going to pay heed to his father’s advice, his father had left four men outside his house but they would be going back tomorrow so he had to hire h

CHAPTER TWENTY- FOUR It was no wonder they had guards crawling around the place like some money vault. The whole place screamed luxury. The living room was large enough to contain a thousand people and the floor to ceiling windows made the room more attractive. Maria directed her to one of the seats and she sat down when she was asked to. Maria had not forgotten to remind her that she should only do as she was told and she shouldn’t be faster than her shadows. “What should I offer you dear?” Esme asked facing Kate but Kate shook her head in response “there would be no need for that ma, I had my fill before coming here” Kate declined respectfully and Esme inly smiled in return. Her love for the girl only increased more. She prayed within her that her son would accept her. And speaking of the son, where was he? They heard some footsteps from the staircase and as if they were on remote control, they all turned at once to the stairs. Kate was awestruck by his beauty. He ha

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX “I shouldn't have fought with her” Kate said, as she lay in bed with Mario in her room. She had thought of what happened between her and her mother earlier and now, she was feeling a little bit guilty. She could clearly understand the kind of pain and confusion her mother was in, and yelling at her that way was like pouring salt on an open wound. She had to sleep over it to realize that. Mario shifted on the bed and she understood he was trying to sit up. She sat up and he did too. They sat facing each other and he gave her a look that said ‘I told you so’ . “Don't give me that look” Kate said as she bent her face. She was already having a bad day without getting out of bed. She stood up from the bed and stripped to the bathroom. She washed her face and cleaned her teeth before coming out. She met him in the same position she had left him and she gave him a questioning look. “Aren't you getting out of bed?” She asked. “Hell, I am

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE They had been standing for the past ten minutes and Danny had not said a word to them even after everything Tyla had said. The guards had stopped banging the door and Rose Mary surmised that they had come to a conclusion that banging it would not make her open it. She had a cunny smirk on her face. “What do you say Danny? Just a word from you and those men outside will back down. You can end this, you alone can end it” Tyla continued, hoping she could convince her even though her hope was very low. “So, I should let him go? Is that what you are trying to say” She asked, her gun still pointing at Owen where he knelt on the floor. “Yes, and we can all go home in Peace” Rose Mary replied this time. “Here you are, talking of peace and still having a gun pointed at me. How peaceful that looks” Danny taunted. Owen looked between Rose and Tyla and he gave her a slow nod. She gave Danny a thorough look before gently bringing the gun

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR Rina sat on the floor in the bathroom, she had left the shower on so she could cry and shout without anyone outside noticing even though she knew they wouldn't notice since the walls were soundproof and she had shut the door damn tight. She couldn't take Tyla's voice off her mind, the statement repeated itself severally in her ears and she tried to shut it off, but it wasn't working out. Of all the times, now that she had finally fallen for him, now that she had decided to be good, live a good life and make kids with him. She laughed warily. It seems fate has its own way of making decisions. She had finally become a first wife without even asking for it. Never in her wildest dreams would she think that something like this would actually happen. She didn't grow up in a polygamous family so she wouldn't want her kid to grow up in one as she knew about the issues that always resulted. She got under the running shower with her clothes on

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE She never thought Gabriel would think of coming here in this lifetime. “What the hell is Gabriel doing here?” She asked no one in particular “Tell him I'm on my way” she told the girl before going back in and she heard the girl leave. She went back into her room and she wiped the tears off her face and applied a little bit of makeup to shield her swollen under eyes. She came out after a little time and she went downstairs to see Gabriel. He came with his assistant, his handbag as she addressed him before. “To what do I owe this pleasure?” She asked as she walked down the stairs majestically. Gabriel and the man raised their heads up simultaneously to look at her. “Tamara” Gabriel called and she cocked a brow at him. “What is it Mr man?” She asked “How's Daniel?” He asked and she chuckled loudly. “Oh, you remembered to ask of him today. That's weird, did something happen to Owen? Huh? Best father of the year” She said, her voi

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO “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 cocked

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE “Unfortunately, I can't. You have to listen to me” Mario yelled back and that earned him a glare from Kate. “I do not regret it because no matter how many times I look at it, all I can see is the day you walked through that door and then the moment you agreed to marry me” he paused for a while. “At first, I had decided that I would just play along until it was time to leave, but after spending a day with you, here in this house, I fell without second thoughts. I do not know what you have done or what you are doing to me Kate, heck I didn't even marry you out of love, but I can gladly tell you that this man right here is on a leash and you Kate, are the one who holds that leash” he paused again. He could see she was literally struggling with the tears that were threatening to pour out any minute. “I understand why you're acting this way, but I just want you to know that I am very sorry and I wish you would actually forgive me and we can go b

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY “What boss?” She asked and the girl replied hesitantly. “Mr Sinclair” she replied and Tamara was surprised. She never thought Gabriel would think of coming here in this lifetime. “What the hell is Gabriel doing here?” She asked no one in particular “Tell him I'm on my way” she told the girl before going back in and she heard the girl leave. She went back into her room and she wiped the tears off her face and applied a little bit of makeup to shield her swollen under eyes.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE Owen had his arms wrapped around Tyla as they lay on the bed. He knew Rina would probably scream her head out if she came in and saw them in this position. But he had to do what was important and getting Tyla to sleep was very important at this moment. He ran his hand across her back and she relaxed against his touch. They lay side to side, her back pressed closely against his chest, while his arm was wrapped around her waist. “Owen” she called, her voice a little bit groggy. He could tell that she was almost falling asleep. “Hmm” he replied and she was silent for a while, the beeping sound of the machines in the room being the only sound audible. She sighed loudly before she finally spoke up. “Do you think bad people deserve to be loved too?” She asked and he was taken back by her question. He didn't think she would actually ask him something like this. “Yeah” he answered sincerely “Everybody deserves to be loved” he added. She wanted
