Rise of The Outcast Chapter 79
CHAPTER 79 “What were you doing here, with him?” Owen asked Rina who was also surprised to see him there, although she didn't let it show, as she didn't want to rouse any more doubts within him. She knew fear or anxiety was the first thing someone who has already been suspicious of you, would look for whenever they see you in a compromising situation. She maintained her composure as she turned back to him with a small smile at the corner of her lips. “Owen, what are you doing here? I thought you went to work” she said as she drew near to him, acting like a concerned wife and although Owen was suspicious at first, he didn't see through her facade. He found it weird to understand her relationship with Jake in the past week, he felt as if something was going on between them. But he knew that the reasoning was totally illogical, because they wouldn't do such, when they can just settle with themselves if they please. Jake could divorce Kate if he wanted, and he was not yet married

CHAPTER EIGHTY “Where's everyone?” Owen asked when he got home. He had not come home the day before, due to extra paperwork at the office. When he was through with the signings and all, he couldn't go home as it was late already, so he slept at the office and now, he was back, but he couldn't find Mia and some others. The whole place felt empty and it was weird. This was supposed to be the time when they would be making preparations, cleaning and making arrangements. He opened the kitchen in search of Mia, but she wasn't there, and neither were the other maids. He turned and was about to head to his room when he saw one of the maids coming in through the backdoor. “Good morning sir” she greeted “Good morning” Owen replied, placing his hand on his waist, he asked “Where are the others?” “Oh, Mia had taken them out for grocery shopping” she replied and Owen cocked a brow at her. “Grocery shopping?” He asked and the maid nodded her head. “Yeah” “Mia always went gr

CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE Maria had just gotten to the office, she got down from her car and walked into the glass doors. The workers greeted her throughout her journey to her personal office. She didn't even bother to reply to some of them, she just walked past them without even glancing back. The workers were already used to it, and some of them didn't even budge, but others were pretty concerned. She got to her personal office and there standing at the door, she could already see her assistant, holding some files in his hand and shivering at the side. She surmised that whatever he had to tell her was not good news, as that was how he behaved whenever he had bad news for her. Maria hissed and walked past him, leaving the door open behind her and he took that clue to walk in with her. She placed her hand bag on the swivel chair and walked to the windows, opening them wide enough. Her assistant stood on one side, monitoring her movements, but said nothing on it. When she was throug

CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO “I can't believe I totally forgot about it, oh it skipped my mind” Rina shouted over the phone. Owen had just called to inform her about his upcoming birthday and her joy knew no bounds, she had totally forgotten about it and she blamed it on the chain of recent activities that she had been working on. “Yeah me too, I totally forgot about it. Mia was the one who made me remember and she wants me to have a formal celebration. Heck, it's just in three days' time, and I haven't even printed cards nor written the list of guests, this is so gonna be a disaster” Owen said as he smacked himself on his forehead. He had wanted to make it a low key party, but Mia was highly against it. She said she wanted to make this one special for him, by being the event planner and the chef of the day. “There shouldn't be any reason to worry, since I am already aware, we'll plan it well and make sure it doesn't end up as a disaster. It's just a birthday party, there shouldn't be m

CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE Esme had not been able to relax ever since she got the text message from the unknown person. Although she had been warned not to call or text, she had tried contacting the person several times but the line didn't go through. She knew her son would be on the verge of giving up and this really troubled her. When he got abducted, he would have hoped that she would come to his rescue somehow, but after not seeing her for a couple of days, his hope would have reduced or died completely. She couldn't wait to keep her son in a safe zone, and then she would make Jake and his accomplices pay dearly for what they had done. Jake had told her that her son would be with her in no time, but she did know how long he was talking about. She couldn't stand by and do nothing,while waiting for them to return her son back to her, when it was very possible that they might not return him. Katherine walked into the sitting room and the only acknowledgement Esme gave her was a r

CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR The streets were bubbly and all nooks and crannies were illuminated. One would mistake it for a festival, but it was none other than Owen's birthday party. Mai had made sure that the whole city knew of the party. Since she couldn't really decorate the whole city in such a short time, (although she could, but she would end up wasting resources, and she wouldn't want to do that) she decided to pour out her best on the street, since it belonged to Owen in the first place. They had prepared varieties of meals, as they were expecting visitors from different parts of the world, although few had started arriving already. They had planned to start the celebration by 7:00pm, and they would party till 11:00pm. They had prepared as many as possible rooms for their guests that would love to stay the night and return home the next day. Owen had wanted to celebrate it low-key and quietly, but Mia was strongly against it. She had stood strongly on the point that he should

CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE Owen was startled when he heard the voice, the voice was unmistakably the voice of someone he was familiar with. He couldn't possibly forget that voice in this lifetime. He felt a cold chill went down his spine and his heart rate increased as memories began to flood in. Although it's been a few years, it still felt as if it all happened yesterday. He tried to regulate his heart beat, but all his efforts were futile as it only made him more nervous. “Owen” she called again and Owen turned to her slowly. He was less surprised to see a smile on her face, as she had always been a good one, although he knew she had changed due to some happenings, she had always been one to always smile. Owen wanted to smile back at her, but he couldn't find it in himself to do it. He felt uneasy. And instead of smiling, he just gave her a cocky grin. “Long time no see” Owen said, his voice shaky and she chuckled “It's all on you yuuno, I tried calling, many times, but

CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX Owen was exasperated, he had managed to convince Tyla to leave the party and wait for him outside, and right now, he was with Mia. She had noticed the commotion earlier and she had come to know what was really happening. Owen had told her that it was just a minor disturbance and he had assured her that he would take care of Tyla by himself, but what he needed right now was someone to help me look for Rina while he went to deal with Tyla who was waiting patiently outside. “Ok Mia, you'll just help me inform the security, do it cautiously, I do not want to cause unnecessary panic in the building. I'll go deal with Tyla, I'll be back in no time” Owen said and Mia nodded. “She had said she wanted to go take a pee and I am surprised because she wasn't supposed to stay this long, I don't think something is wrong because if it was, then she would have called either I or my Security guards, but she didn't so..” he shrugged “But just to be on the safe side,

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.

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
