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
Chapter 126“What’s going on Owen?”Maya asked and Owen ran his hands over his head feeling frustrated, at this point the driver ignited the car engine driving them from the family mansion. Owen let out a deep breath before turning his attention to Maya. “Well, It seems Simon might have found the location Hayden is and we need to act fast, I am going to his house to find more information” Owen replied and Maya’s eyes widened in shock. “Oh my! I seriously hope is true and we can get Hayden from his clutches” Maya stated and Owen nodded without saying another word. He rested his head on the car and squeezed his eyes shut, his mind was busy thinking about a lot of possibilities and there were a lot of thoughts swirling in his head at once that he ended up knowing how far they had gone in their journey. A while later, he heard the car come to a stop and he opened his eyes, he saw the car had stopped in front of Simon’s house so they both got out of the car immediately. As Owen and May
Chapter 127“Who could have tipped him? It was something that was supposed to be swift and no one would have known, I still don’t understand how this happened, and he knew we were coming” Owen growled, he was restless. “I don’t know what we are going to do, but don’t worry everything will definitely work out” Maya replied, but Owen snorted, he had never felt so restless before. He was busy paving about, his pacing echoed in the somber atmosphere of the sitting room, each step a testament to his frustration and guilt. His mind raced with thoughts of Hayden, the elusive Mr. Reynold, and the failed operation that had left them all reeling. “I still can’t believe this! I am trying to wrap my head around everything that had happened, but it’s only getting worse, where do we know he might have taken Hayden to, are we sure he is alive?” Owen voiced out and Mr. Richard stood up. “Hayden is alive I am sure of that, he might torture him, but I don’t think he will kill BUK that easily” Mr Ri
