Chapter 82Owen spent the rest of the night thinking about Maya, he thought about what happened between them, perhaps a different approach would have been better, but he didn't want to get emotionally attacked by anyone, not after Megan played with him.He was busy tossing up and down throughout the night, he didn't know why he was so worried about this, he finally got out of bed and went to take his bath. He took a quick bath and sighed, deciding to leave for the day, he stepped out of the room and saw Maya busy moving her things out, he hadn't expected her to move so fast."Are you leaving?" he inquired and Maya shot him a look, he knew immediately Maya was furious at him. He gulped down and sighed. "I will be leaving, I hope you have a good life" Maya spat and turned away from him.The tension was thick in the air as Maya packed her bags hastily, her hands trembling with a mix of anger and hurt. The argument with Owen had escalated to unimaginable heights, leaving their once good
Chapter 83Owen’s phone suddenly started ringing, which distracted him from looking at the shapes the man had disappeared into, he pulled his phone out, and it was me Reynold on the line. He gulped down before picking up the call, he placed the phone on his ear and heard the rich voice of Mr. Reynold “Where are you Owen, I was thinking we could bond together at my home, we haven’t had enough time for a while” Mr. Reynold stated and Owen wanted to refuse his request but decided not to.“I am just stepping out of the office, where are you?” he inquired. “I am in the house, you can drive over to meet me” Mr. Reynold replied, and the call came to an end. Owen went inside his car and went to Mr. Reynold's mansion, he came down from the car and went inside the building, his eyes darted around as there was no one around except for the one maid who takes care of his home.This left him wondering if Mr. Reynold ever felt bored, especially now that he had no children nor was he married, he m
Chapter 84Owen entered the house and proceeded to the subterranean, where the vault chamber was located.He stood in front of the smooth wall that hid the mysterious underground vault within his ancestral mansion. This was his inheritance, a secret passed down from his deceased parents. Mr. Reynold had entrusted him with both knowledge of its existence and the task of discovering its hidden wonders. However, how to accomplish this remained a confusing mystery.Owen sighed and ran his fingers through his disheveled hair, his mind racing as he examined the various options. He had spent endless hours researching his parents' notebooks, which Mr. Reynold had provided for him, perusing historical texts, and even consulting specialists. However, hopelessness set in as each attempt to open the vault failed.His first tactic was a systematic one, aiming to discover any hidden patterns or secret triggers. Owen methodically examined every inch of the wall, looking for hidden buttons or minor f
Chapter 85“Griffin Robert, you remember your name!” the man said on the phone and he sounded shocked, Owen squeezed his eyes shut, he didn’t know how to explain to the man he didn’t know but only found a journal. Even though the man had made him realize a lot of things, he was still skeptical about telling him some things, he is in no position to trust anyone right now. “Where do you think is the perfect place we could meet!” he asked instead.“We can’t allow anyone to see us together, I had to fight my way to get to see you because I don’t want Reynold to see me, he might kill me so perhaps we can meet in a good location, I will send you the location and then we will meet, where no one hardly visits” the old man replied and Owen wasn’t sure if he could trust him and go to this place he had referred to.“Okay, I will come as soon as you send it” he replied and the call came to an end. He knows if he wants the answer that he seeks, he has to take risks.His phone suddenly beeped rev
Chapter 86Mr. Reynold couldn’t hold in his eagerness as he walked briskly out of the company and went inside his car, his chauffeur sat down too, and ignited the car engine quickly. “Where are we going to Sir?” the chauffeur asked “Take me to the mansion, Owen’s home” he replied, and the chauffeur nodded, igniting the car engine as he drove them out of the company. He was busy tapping his feet on the car impatiently. He couldn’t believe everything he had worked so hard for, for the past year was finally coming into play, and he was finally getting what he deserved. He felt like the car was too slow and couldn’t ask the driver to drive faster because they would exceed the speeding limit, he cursed when they had to stop because of traffic, and finally, he made it to the mansion. He came down from the car quickly and made his way inside, ignoring the greetings of the workers, at the same time he came down from the car, Owen had stepped out of the car too, and he was walking gently
Chapter 87Maya’s lips hung open after listening to everything Owen said, she was shocked and at the same time, felt so bad for him, she didn’t understand why he had to go through all that, he deserved more than what was happening to him. “I still can’t believe it” she muttered and Owen chuckled sipping the juice he was taking, he wasn’t as emotional as he was before, and now he felt better after speaking to Maya, he couldn’t help but watch how worried she looks, and he felt she was cute.“Are you going to tell Hayden all this, or you have already told him about it?” she suddenly asked, which caused Owen to drop the drink in his hand and let out a sigh. “I am not sure if I should tell him or not, I am scared of getting betrayed by another person again” Owen replied and Maya scorned a bit.“I don’t think Hayden is going to betray you, I am not the best at judging characters, but I can see how transparent Hayden is; he had all reasons to hate you but had always supported you, I know t
Chapter 88“I want to hear everything uncle, don’t leave any stone unturned” Owen stated and Mr. Reynold smirked, he has to be certain Owen is not in possession of what he needs, and he can only know through the way he reacts to whatever he wants to tell him.“Your father was never the listening type, he never listens, and he was reckless that was how he ended up with your mom, I never wanted to tell you all these stories, but I had no choice, I have to tell you everything now. I shouldn’t shield you from the truth. You are an adult, Father let him be because he was their true biological son…” He paused when he noticed the wide expression on Hayden’s face.“I don’t understand something uncle, what are you?” he asked and Mr. Reynold laughed “I am not my father’s biological son, I was adopted. Mother spent years, and she couldn’t conceive on her own, and it pushed her to opt for adoption, less than two years later after adopting me, she got pregnant and that’s how Owen’s father came to
Chapter 89The ride back to Owen’s home was filled with silence, they finally made it back to the mansion and came down from their cars, they walked back to the house and Maya quickly opened the door, she was shocked to see Owen and Hayden together. As soon as her gaze fell on them, she opened the door wider and they both stepped inside. “Maya is here?” Hayden asked, shocked to see Maya. “Yes she is here, she came yesterday” Owen replied “How are you doing Hayden, it’s been a while” Maya greeted with a wide smile on her face. “It’s been a while, I trust you are good” Hayden replied with an equal smile, Maya nodded and they exchanged handshakes.“So what is going on? What happened at the dinner?” she inquired. “Let’s sit and talk” Owen replied, and they all sat down, he ran his hand over his hair. “Uncle Reynold has been disturbing me about the vault chamber, and he wanted me to open it and not go through it, I promised him not to, and he said I was the only one who had access to i
