Rise of The Outcast Chapter 28
CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT Maria was shocked by Owen’s words, she had thought that he was the mastermind behind it but it seemed that she had concluded too fast. “I do not understand what you mean by that Owen. Would you mind to enlighten me?” “Have you not seen the news or are you trying to play dumb with me?” Owen asked with a tilt of his head and Maria felt sweat on her palms. This was not how she pictured their meeting would be but she choosed not to be intimidated by him. “Well, I should be the one asking you that Owen. How come the stocks you bought from us, just a few days ago is being rumored to be sold at half the price? What games are you trying to play if I may ask?” Owen huffed “and why the hell would I sell something I bought for half the price knowing fully well that I would be losing a lot of money. We’re talking about millions of dollars here ma’am” Owen said with a calm face Maria pondered on it for a while before nodding her head “yeah I know, I had finali

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE Chris was fidgeting in his office as he knew the implications of what he had done, Maria was not to be taken lightly, although he was also a force to reckon with, he had touched Maria’s tail this time and he knew she wouldn’t react lightly. The company was Maria’s life and he had joked with her life so he was on high alert. Although it wasn’t entirely his fault, Owen had asked him to do it. At first, Owen had asked him to sell the stocks at half the price but he had called him back later that day to spread rumors that the stocks were sold instead as this would be bad business for Maria. He had managed to cover his trace but he was still not at ease because he knew he wouldn’t be able to hide the truth for long. He was still in his train of thoughts when he got a call and he could see that it was from the person whom he had asked to spread the news. He picked it up immediately “yes?” “Someone is asking for the news to be brought down” the other perso

CHAPTER THIRTY Owen still edo is seat as he heard the voice from behind him. He needed not be informed that it was the person he was here for, James Dortmund. He turned to look at the man, and he concluded within him that the reason why the secret passage door was large was because of this man’s size and not because of the other workers. He was bulky and well built and he had a stoic expression on his face, Owen knew from that look that he wasn’t welcome, but he choose not to be intimidated. He was middle aged and his hair was a mixture of black and grey and he was dressed in a white tuxedo shirt coupled with a fine black denim jean and a casual slipper. Owen observed him for a while as different scenes filled his mind as he thought of what would happen if things go south. His guards would not make it on time and before he would be able to raise any alarm, he would be long dead. He knew he was on unsteady grounds so he had to move cautiously. “I asked a question, young

CHAPTER THIRTY ONE Owen was led out of the room by the guards and as he was overjoyed and he whistled away in excitement. Although he had been positive that James would accept his proposal, he had been skeptical when the man asked him that question but it seemed like the heavens were in his side. Everything worked out in his favour and he had succeeded in attaining the shares. The guards led him through the hallway they they had arrived in the first place and the door did not seem to reduce the curiosity it gave him in the first place. He looked at the door with The door seemed . They led him to the sitting room where they had taken him from in the first place and they left him there to continue on his own. Owen had just walked into the sitting room and he saw Veeda walk out of one of the rooms at the corner and he let his eyes wander in search of Rina, his eyes caught sight of her as she sat on one of the chairs, her eyes on her phone. It seemed like she had something imp

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO Tamara was in her office as she observed the whole thing. She had every reason to believe that Owen had a hand in all this but she just couldn't pinpoint why. If he had wanted to punish his wife's family, he wouldn't have given allowed them into the deal in the first place so why would he go through all this stress when he could have cut the whole thing short. Anyways, that was Tamara's cross to carry, it was none of her business and she could only worry about herself. Her business was in the verge of collapsing and she knew that the only way to come out of this would be to take a loan. But she knew that whoever would be willing to give her a loan right now would want her to use her Company as a collateral and she wasn't willing to put get Company on the line. She thought for a while before deciding that her only option at the moment would be to have Owen give her. She picked up her phone and called his office as this was official business and she could

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE Owen had just left James' house, his security guards had been annoyed by the time he wasted there but they couldn't make any objections. He could clearly see the annoyance on their faces but since none of them said a word, he just walked to the car while one of the men opened the door and he got in, closing the door after him. The rest also stepped into their various cars, taking their positions before they started their journey. Maria had called him about three times while he was there and although he had assured her that everything was fine, he knew she would be dead worried. The car was quiet and Owen knew that the guards were not too happy so he decided to make it up to them on their way home. James's home seemed to be a little far from the city and they drove for a while before they saw a bar in the middle of a street. “Pull up” he said and he could see the way the driver's face scrunched up in annoyance. He slowed down before pulling up at the road

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUROwen squinted his eyes as the bright rays of the sun shone directly at his eyes. He opened his eyes in one swift movement and took a deep breath before getting on his feet. He tried yo get up from the couch but he found it hard to. His whole body hurt and he felt weak, it felt as if he had undergone some hard labour and he could only massage his shoulders. He didn't even know which one he hated most at the moment. The headache that was wracking his temples at the moment or the weakness he felt in all the parts of his body. He massaged his aching temples as he tried to recall what had happened the night before. He remembered going into the bar but he couldn't remember coming out. He didn't even know how he got home but he knew that it would have been the work if the guards. He had said he wouldn't drink much but as soon as he tasted the drink, the weight of all his problems dawned on him and he let himself fall in the moment. He stood up from the couch a

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE Nb: the former chapter had a typographical error, it was actually talking about Mia( Owen's maid) and not Maria(Kate's mother) sorry for the error Owen was in his office, his pen in his mouth as he thought about what Mia had said earlier. He had not thought about it the probability, thanks to his former marriage which was a total disaster. His marriage with Kate had been every man's wish at the beginning but after he lost his wealth, the whole successful marriage facade went down the hill. Kate's mother Maria had tried her every best to come in between then and after many failed attempts, she had succeeded in poisoning Kate's mind. And Kate had divorced him in order to get married to Chris McLean, a worker in his company now. “Fate” he mused and chuckled. He had thought about what Mia had said and he was currently still thinking about it. Maybe she was right, maybe it was high time he looked for a partner seeing as Kate has moved on already and in no time, sh

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
