Rise of The Outcast Chapter 49
CHAPTER FORTY NINE Esme had been worried about the upcoming wedding and she had tried her very best to stop the wedding but all her efforts seemed futile as he was always one step ahead of her. And Maria also gave the wedding her full support, so she could only hope on fate and time to see where it all leads. It all started when she got a call from her son about a month ago that he was coming back to the country. She had been so happy to hear that from him, as it had been long she set her eyes on him. Although they make video calls frequently, it was still not enough. He had seemed so enthusiastic about his return and she had been so happy with the news that when he didn't come back on the appointed day, she got worried. She called his home line severally but it was ringing and no one picked up the call. She called his personal line and it wasn't going through. She also called his office but she was told that he didn't report to work on that fateful day. She was scared that so

CHAPTER FIFTY Gabriel coughed continuously as his P.A tried to get him to calm down. The man had been sick for a while now, they had tried many medications, but none of them had cured him. They had tried to look for the cause if his sickness, and although they had involved many renowned doctors and physicians in their search, their search had seemed futile. “Should I call your son?” His P.A asked when the cough seemed persistent “No, don't stress him, I'll be fine” Daniel replied in between coughs.He didn't want to inform Owen of his sickness as he didn't want him to get worried over his health. This was his cross and he had to carry it alone. He had noticed this a few months before his attempted assassination and since then, it had only gone from bad to worst. “Just get me a cup of water and I'll be fine” Gabriel told the man and he left to do as he was told. Gabriel sighed. He was so close to catching the person or group of people that made an attempt on his

CHAPTER FIFTY ONE Gabriel walked into the suite where they had planned their meeting. He saw the man where he was seated, his back turned to him. He signaled to his guards to take protective positions while he and his P.A walked to where the man was seated. The man stood up from his seat on sensing his arrival. He had sharp senses, Gabriel noted. “Good day sir” The man greeted and Gabriel took his hand out for a handshake which the man collected willingly. He and his P.A sat across each other, while the man sat on the other edge of the seat where he was seated. “So, what do you have for me?” Gabriel asked and the man observed his surroundings closely before he brought out a file and a PC from the bag that was under the table, which Gabriel had failed to notice until now. He placed the PC and the file on the table before going ahead to open it. He picked up a disk from the file and inserted it into the PC while Gabriel didn't take his eyes off him as he didn't want

CHAPTER FIFTY TWO Owen had a cheerful smile on his face as he made his way towards the kitchen. He had received the best news of his life, Rina had called him this morning that her family house was under renovation and she needed a place to stay at the moment. Lodging at a hotel would have been her best alternative at the moment, but she didn't want to, so she had called to ask if he had an extra room. And he had agreed willingly. Since then, he has been overjoyed. He didn't know what time she was arriving so he had to make some necessary preparations before her arrival. He had called for interior designers and had arranged for a room directly opposite his. Right now, he was on his way to the kitchen to make something nice as he was still trying to impress her. He knew she was a rare jewel and he had to handle her with utmost care. “What's with the smile?” Mia asked and Owen was startled. “Calm down Mr” Mia said in between laughter “So, may I know what's going on? Been obse

CHAPTER FIFTY THREE Owen went to get Rina from where she was and it took a while before they came back. Owen was stalling, trying to make sure that Kate was fully immersed in her work before they arrived. He walked into the house, hand in hand with Rina as she had a smile plastered over her face. Owen's heart rate was abnormal as he tried to think of a solution to this impending doom. He knew that Kate and Rina in one room would be like mixing oil and water which was impossible. And Rina would not be happy with him if she sees Kate in his house. That alone would complicated issues and he wasn't in the mood for bantering or complications. To avoid getting into trouble, instead of climbing the stairs and taking her to his room to rest, he took her straight to the kitchen with the pretense that he wanted to make something nice for her, and Rina didn't object as she handed her handbag to the maid to take it upstairs for her. When they got to the kitchen, Owen started making som

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR Maria had been busy the past week as the preparations for her daughter's upcoming wedding was a bit challenging. She had taken it upon her to make sure that the wedding would be a successful one. Esme was helping out in all that she could, and Katherine was also giving a helping hand. In less than a week, the preparations would be concluded and the wedding finalized. “Hey, hang it there” she said to the girl who was about to place a portrait on the wall. “Do I have to teach you everything?” Maria asked with a huff. She was tired of giving instructions, it seemed like they were all doing the opposite of what she wanted and she was really exhausted. For about a week now, her regular words had been “not there, there, not here, here” and she was pretty tired. “Oh Maria, what have they turned you to?” Maria heard a voice and she turned to see her sister, Benedicta. "To what do I owe this visit? Benedicta? Because it's been long I saw or even heard of you,

CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE Kate was fuming as she made her way out of the house. She had been insulted twice today by two insignificant people and this really hurt her pride. Mia had told her that she was in support of Rina's and Owen's wedding, and she wouldn't bear with anyone who tries to sabotage their plans. She huffed as she stormed out of the hallway, only to bump into Rina. She glared at her with raw hatred and Rina smiled at her. “Yunno, I found it hard to understand why you hate me, but as it is now I understand pretty well. You just can't help it, I'm too good” Rina said as she catwalked to where Kate stood, using her hands to brush off invisible speck of dust from Kate's cloth. “And need I remind you, the next time you try what you tried earlier today, I would make sure to teach you a lesson you would never forget in your entire lifetime” Rina whispered close to her ears and Kate clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. Rina steeped away from her and wal

CHAPTER FIFTY SIX The celebration had come to an end, and it was time for them to return to their respective homes. Maria was beyond happy as she could see the envy on the faces of the people she had invited to the party. Even those who had claimed to be happy about the upcoming union, were all jealous and this made her ego bloat. “It's late already, we need to go home and take rest before the day breaks” Maria told Esme and Esme sighed. She had tried to convince her to stay the night and return to her house the next day, but Maria had refused. It seemed she still had a little bit of pride in her. Esme saw them out of the house, she and Maria gave each other a hug and Kate said her goodbyes to Jake. They drove out of the compound and Katherine retired to her room, while Jake offered to see Esme to hers. As soon as they got into Esme's room, Jake shut the door behind him. “What you tried to do today, do you know the risk you would be putting your son in if you had succeeded

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
