Chapter 118Inside the bleak confines of the prison walls, Mr. Reynold found himself surrounded by hostility and animosity. The other prisoners, fueled by resentment and disdain for his past crimes, treated him with contempt, making his already miserable existence even more unbearable.“You shouldn’t breathe that loud man!” one of the prisoners yelled and another snickered “What do you expect from a man that thinks the world revolves around him, he must think that he is still in his mansion living the luxurious life that was offered to him in a platter of gold” another replied and they burst into laughter. “This makes me wonder why a rich man is stuck here with us, I wasn’t expecting someone like him to stay here with us, his money should have gotten him out immediately.” another replied and the first one that spoke, tilted his head to look at Mr Reynold “I am curious, tell us your crime and how you ended up here, don’t leave any detail out, in this confinement, I am the king so yo
Chapter 119“Are you sure we won’t be caught, I will give anything to get out of here but at the same time I am scared they might catch us” The inmate said and Mr Reynold chuckled “If you have that strong zeal in you to escape from this place then you have no reason to be worried, I am going to make sure we get here as soon as possible, I will do anything in my power to ensure that, I didn’t turn out to be who I am today by getting weak, I was who I am because I can do it anything I set my mind into Okau?”Mr Reynold replied and the inmate nodded. He could have done this alone but he needed someone with him to carry this out, he sighed and squeezed his eyes looking for the perfect opportunity to do what he wanted, there was no way he was going to resign to this fate, there was no way he will let himself to be something Owen and the rest will laugh about. With that he tuned out the voices of the other inmates squeezing his eyes shut, he was resting because he needed enough energy if
Chapter 120Owen stood before the mirror, his reflection staring back at him. He was tired and he needed to do this, he needed to prove to the family that he was worthy to rule the company, the family had been in controversy ever since the arrest of Mr. Reynold and it was hard to manage them, he let out another sigh and he adjusted his tie, straightened his shoulders, and took a deep breath. Today was the day he would step out and lead the company in a new direction, he needed to take full control of the company. Exiting his house, Owen felt the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders. The drive to the company was filled with contemplation, his mind running through the upcoming meeting with the board members. He knew he had to make a strong impression, to assert his vision for the company's future. He finally made it to the company and he saw his secretary, who quickly rushed over to collect the bag he was holding. “Everyone is waiting for you in the boardroom,” he said
Chapter 121“We have to meet father, we have to tell him this! Where could he have escaped to”Hayden stated feeling confused and frustrated, he ran his hand over his head and doesn’t know what to feel anymore.“Yeah we should! I don’t want to imagine what uncle Reynold might be doing right now, we have to be faster than him”Owen replied and he nodded. Owen and Hayden rushed to meet with Mr. Richard, their minds were filled with worry and urgency. The news of Mr. Reynold's escape had sent shockwaves through them that was unexplainable, and they knew they had to act fast to prevent any further harm.L Owen and Hayden entered Mr. Richard's office, they were met with a scene of agitation. Mr. Richard paced back and forth, his brows furrowed in frustration. Without waiting for an invitation, Owen and Hayden launched into a detailed explanation of the events that had transpired, their words punctuated by Mr. Richard's growing anger."Uncle Reynold's escaped," Owen announced, his voice tense
Chapter 122Hayden was restless, he could hardly sleep at night as he kept on thinking about the escape of Snr Reynold, he knew his escape was going to prove more threat than the Martins’ own, and Mr. Reynold won’t hesitate to have his revenge on them and what worries him most is that he doesn’t know who was going to be his first victim. Looking at himself in the mirror and adjusting his tie, he knew there wasn’t much he could do and all he could do right now was to be vigilant and careful, so he stepped out of his house and went inside his car driving to the company.He went straight to his office ignoring the greeting of the workers, he sat down to get engrossed in the day’s work perhaps that way he wouldn’t have the time to think much about everything happening before him. Hayden raised his head as Mr. Richard stepped into his office, he heard a faint knock and a click of the door followed that revealed Mr Richard. Mr Richard’s eyes immediately registered the weariness etched on
Chapter 123“Uncle Reynold?” Hayden called refusing to believe that Mr. Reynold had kidnapped him, Mr. Reynold stepped into the light and burst into laughter, he had a mischievous smile on his face. Hayden's heart pounded against his chest as he struggled against the ropes binding him to the chair. The dark room only added to his sense of dread, and the sight of Mr. Reynold standing before him sent chills down his spine."Please, let me go!" Hayden pleaded, his voice strained with fear.Mr. Reynold's eyes gleamed with malice as he towered over Hayden, a sinister grin playing on his lips. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Hayden," he sneered. "You've been a thorn in my side for too long. I warned you! I warned the both of you to step away but you didn’t and kept on trying my patience, you dare make them arrest me and tarnish my image in front of everyone!”Hayden's mind raced, trying to make sense of the situation. How had he ended up here, at the mercy of his uncle who wanted nothing but t
Chapter 124“I don’t understand what is going on uncle, I am trying to comprehend everything but it seems I can’t, Hayden uncle Reynold’s biological son? How is that possible?! What more secrets that I don’t know because so far it seems this family is full of shit!”Owen muttered, his frustration at its peak but Mr Richard didn’t say a word and he moved closer to him, hoping he was going to speak and tell him it was all a joke. “Uncle can you say something?!” he yelled and Mr Richard looked at him. “Tell me you only lied to get Hayden out of Uncle Reynold clutches”“It wasn’t a lie Owen, Hayden is his son, I had kept it a secret because I know how bad this might mess up the family, both for him and Hayden” Mr Richard replied and Owen sat in stunned silence, his mind reeling from Mr. Richard's revelation. He suddenly laughed finding it hard to process everything Mr Richard said and he wondered how Hayden would react when he found out about it. He couldn't believe what he had just hea
Chapter 125“My son?! He better be lying! I never asked Richard to help me take care of a child, he should have allowed her to abort the pregnancy, if I wanted a child I would have gotten one for a long time now! What kind of yea he is this!” Mr. Reynold growled and suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door, he cleared his throat before speaking “Come in” The door was pushed open and one of his men stepped inside, he had been hiding in his private villa he got recently and luckily for him, he hadn’t told anyone about it and no one could easily find him there. His guard stepped forward and bowed his head, he handed over the file in his hand to Mr Reynold who arched his brows before collecting it. “The DNA result is out and I decided to bring it immediately “the guard replied and he cleared his throat. “This should be between us, no one should hear about it and if I hear anything from anyone I will assume it wan you, and no matter where you run off to, I will find
