Chapter 91“This is dangerous Owen, how can you think of raiding Uncle Reynold’s house, you should know he will definitely protect everywhere, and you can’t just step into his house that easily” Hayden stated and Owen smiled. “Trust me, you don’t have to come with me, but I am not going to act foolishly, I have someone I can talk to first, he is a tech guy and very good with computers, I have known him since my college days” Owen replied and Hayden furrowed his brows.“A tech guy? Are you sure about this?” Hayden asked and Owen chuckled. “You get scared too much Hayden, I am not stupid, and I know what I am doing, I am going to call him, and we can all meet him” Owen replied and Hayden gulped down.He couldn’t deny the fact that he was scared, knowing what Mr. Reynold was capable of, if he could have killed his brother and reigned over the family for years, he could have done something worse to them. Hayden only nodded.“Let’s go,” Owen said, and they got back inside the car, they d
Chapter 92“Please let me go, Martin! My grandma needs me, there is no one to take care of her, and you have been holding me captive in this place for long now” Katrina begged and Martin smirked. “You should have thought about that before going through my back and doing something that was going to put me in trouble, you don’t expect me to let you go so easily, right? You ruined my life!” he screamed at her, and tears fell rapidly from Katrina’s eyes. “What do you expect me to do? I tried to be on my own, but you messed up with me, you were the one who ruined my life! You raped me and then still dragged me into your shit while all I did was try to live my life!” Katrina screamed at him, she was already tired from the way he was treating her, she had tried so hard to endure, but it seemed she couldn’t endure his abuse anymore, she just wanted to be on her own with no one to disturb her. Martin was shocked at her sudden outburst, but he tried to hide it, he moved closer to her and hel
Chapter 93"Simon, it's done," Owen said as soon as his friend answered. "I managed to plant the bug in my uncle's mansion and his car. We should be able to listen in on his conversations now."Simon's voice crackled with excitement. "That's incredible, Owen! We might finally get to the bottom of this."Owen nodded, his mind racing with possibilities. "I'm counting on it. Let's just hope we find something worthwhile.""Don’t worry, you can fully trust in me and now I can clearly listen to everything, I will let you know if I find anything, trust me and be rest assured. We will talk another time” Simon replied “Of course” Owen replied and the call came to an end. *Simon monitored the bug's feed with bated breath, waiting for any sign of Mr Reynold having an important discussion. Then, finally, it happened.Mr. Reynold and Martin engaged in a clandestine conversation, unaware of the eavesdropping presence of Simon, hidden away, listening intently through the bug."So, Martin, how's e
Chapter 94“I will be right there” Hayden ended the call and walked out of his office, he decided to go to Owen’s house and listen to everything Owen had discovered. He made it to Owen’s house and met him walking about in his room. “So tell me everything you have heard” Hayden said and Owen let out a long breath, “You won’t believe the same man I swear as my hero wants me dead, it’s confirmed, he is the one helping Martin all these while. He is behind everything” Owen state and Hayden’s eyes widened in shocked.“I can’t believe this! I have to do something” Hayden replied and stormed away from Owen's revelation, his mind churned with a tumult of emotions. Betrayal, anger, and disbelief mingled in a chaotic symphony. The weight of Owen's words hung heavy in the air, poisoning the once familiar surroundings."Hayden, wait," Owen called after him, desperation lacing his voice. But Hayden's strides remained resolute, his jaw clenched tight, muscles taut with tension.Stopping abruptly,
Chapter 95Owen paced back and forth in his living room, his mind swirling with worry. Hayden had stormed out of the house in a fit of anger after telling him what he find out about Mr Reynold. His thoughts fixated on Hayden's intention to confront Uncle Reynold about what had happened and he feared the worst.Unable to shake off his apprehension, Owen grabbed his phone and dialed Hayden's number. Each ring felt like an eternity until finally, Hayden answered."Hayden, where are you? Are you with Uncle Reynold?" Owen blurted out, his voice filled with concern."No, Owen, I'm not with Uncle Reynold. I went to see my father," Hayden replied, his tone tense."Your father? Why would you do that?" Owen asked, his worry escalating."I needed answers, Owen. I couldn't sit back and ignore what I know anymore," Hayden explained, frustration evident in his voice."You shouldn’t have done that, I don’t think uncle Richard truly knows what I happening and confronting him that way might blow him
Chapter 96Maya suddenly gasped as she opened her eyes, her body shivered as if she had seen a ghost, she gulped down the lumps growing in her throat and noticed her eyes were busy shaking. “What the heck!” she murmured to herself and stood up from her bed, she turned on the light and ran her hand on her hair and she still didn’t feel any better, she let out a sigh and decided to go to Owen’s room She stepped cautiously into Owen's room, the soft glow of the desk lamp casting long shadows across the walls. Owen sat hunched over his desk, his brow furrowed in concentration as he sifted through a stack of files. Without looking up, he gestured for Maya to take a seat on the edge of the bed."Hey, Maya," Owen greeted, his voice weary yet warm. "What brings you here at this hour?"Maya hesitated, her fingers twisting nervously in her lap. "I… I had a bad dream," she finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.Owen glanced up from his work, concern etched into the lines of his fac
Chapter 97Mr. Reynold seethed with fury as he sat in his office, the memory of his brother's words echoing in his mind like a relentless drumbeat. How dare he suggest abandoning his plans for Owen and Hayden? How could he ask him to give up everything he had fought so hard to achieve? The mere thought of capitulating filled Mr. Reynold with a white-hot rage that burned deep within his core.“He thinks his mere words can stop me?!” he muttered to himself “Nothing can stop me Richard, not even you and if you dare cross my path I won’t hesitate to wipe you off, father should have not chosen side when we were growing up and perhaps things would have been a lot better between all of us. He destroyed his family with his hands!” he growled and hit his hand on his desk.Nothing could ease his temper at this point until he gets what he wants and can finally throw Owen out of the family, he had thought about it several times before bringing him into the family and if he is not ready to be his
Chapter 98Hayden's phone buzzed insistently, breaking the silence of the room, he had been sleeping out of exhaustion, he yawned, and he reached for it, his heart pounding with worry as he saw the caller’s ID. He recognized Owen's number flashing on the screen and answered quickly, knowing the gravity of the situation they were currently in. “Hayden?" he heard Owen say and he sat up immediately "Owen, it's me, What's going on? Are you okay? I was sleeping when you called, I’m sorry I didn’t pick up your call on time" he replied with a yawn, seriously hoping everything was going fine. "Hayden, we're in a mess, Maya and Simon had been kidnapped," Owen replied and Hayden stood up immediately, he hardly understood what Owen was saying. "what's wrong? What did you just say?" Hayden asked again, his voice tight with uncertainty."Hayden, it's Maya and Simon, They've been kidnapped," Owen replied again and this time Hayden could finally grab the hands of the situation, his eyes widened
