Chapter 131

“I am here!”Owen screamed as the emergency van came to a stop. The medical practitioners came down immediately and they helped him with Mr. Richard as they placed him in their van and left, Owen got inside his car and rode himself to the hospital even though his hands were busy shaking.

They finally arrived at the hospital and Mr Richard was rushed to the emergency ward. “We will be back soon. You have to calm down and wait for us” one of the nurses said and he was barely able to nod.

Owen's heart raced as he paced back and forth in the hospital waiting room, his mind consumed by worry and fear. The sight of Mr. Richard being rushed into the emergency ward had sent a shockwave through him, filling him with a sense of dread he couldn't shake.

He glanced anxiously at the clock, each passing minute feeling like an eternity as he waited for news of Mr. Richard's condition. Thoughts raced through his mind, memories of their time together flooding back as he prayed for his re

He was asked to wait for him and as each minute passed by, his heart was beating fast"Martin," Owen called out as he reached the iron bars, his voice echoing through the narrow passageway.Martin, sitting on the edge of his cot, looked up with a smirk. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Owen," he chuckled, the sound dripping with sarcasm. "What brings you to my humble abode? I am sure you are not here to see me, there is no way you would be here to visit me right?”Owen clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to lash out at Martin. "I need your help," he said through gritted teeth going straight to the point, he saw no reason why he shouldn’t go straight to what had brought him here.Martin raised an eye

    Owen moved with shaky steps as he approached the truck. The crate in his hands seemed to weigh a thousand tons that would break his back from the terrible weight he was feeling."Hey, put your back into it! Or it's gonna fall!" One man who stood at the truck yelled at him.Owen struggled to keep his hands under the crate even as he approached. He heard the warnings, but his body couldn't obey him anymore.His hands slipped and the crate crashed on the ground with a loud thud."Now you've done it..." The man drew close to Owen in anger."I'm sorry..." Owen muttered."What's there to be sorry about? You can't even lift something this much. Who put you here?" He asked."Boss did." Owen replied as he managed to stand somewhat and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.He sighed with resignation as he looked at his rumpled and dirty clothes and the mess he had made.His dressing wasn't supposed to be ruined to that extent because lifting things wasn't in his original job description.

    Owen couldn't believe his eyes."What is going on here?" He asked with a shaky voice. He struggled to accept the reality of what he was seeing.Megan managed to recover from her shock and stare awkwardly at Owen while Mr Martin was frowning."What does it look like?" Mr Martin retorted with a snort."Wh... What?!" Owen stuttered at the incomprehensible response.He hadn't ever been in this sort of situation before but he knew that at least those weren't the words that Martin was supposed to say."It's not what it looks like, Owen." Megan finally said. She pushed herself away from Martin's arms.Martin didn't like how she moved from his arms so he scowled at Owen."You ungrateful bastard!" Martin snarled.Owen's brain circuit paused as he couldn't believe what he had heard. "Me?" He asked."Is that how you're supposed to treat your boss? You have no respect and etiquette in you!" Martin shouted.Owen felt perplexed as he looked between Megan and Martin for clarification.Megan sighed.

    Owen was shocked again at the unexpected development.He had wanted to say something in response to Mr Martin. Maybe beg or ask why he had done such a thing. But he hadn't been given an opportunity to.Now his words hung in his throat. He couldn't tell anyone the things that bothered him. His throat choked up with indescribable emotions and his head was on the verge of blacking out.Owen turned around from the doors and began to walk... He didn't know where he was going to... He didn't have anywhere to go.He had been fired from his job. That place had been where he had been most of the time and it had begun to feel like his second home in a kind of way. Even his own house was no longer a home to him. He had lost everything that he had managed to build up and possess.He thought about the orphanage that he had grown up in. But he had left there many years ago. There was no way he could go back there. He would definitely not be accepted.Owen was lost in thought as he kept walking aim

    "You are my brother's son!" Mr Reynolds yelled emotionally and his eyes turned moist."What?!" Owen was startled. The man looked somehow crazy to him."You're my nephew, Owen." Mr Reynolds said, gaining his composure."How?" Owen asked."That description of the car that your parents had died in perfectly matches the record that I have of your parents death. Plus your blood resonates with mine." Mr Reynolds said."That doesn't confirm anything, there are people out there who probably fall into the same category." Owen replied. There has to be a logical explanation, and there was."No Owen. I've been looking for you for years. You see, our family has a special blood that only one in 100 million people can possess.When the doctor solicited for volunteers, none of their blood was a match with yours so I decided to give it a try, perhaps fate would shine on me today. And it did! I found my long lost nephew!" Mr Reynolds recounted with a smile.Owen took a glance at Doctor Maya who nodded

But Megan didn't stop and continued moving.Owen moved on his hospital bed as he wanted to chase after her."Megan, don't do this...!" He shouted.His body condition didn't allow him to move and he felt searing pain all over. As he groaned and shouted after Megan, a nurse rushed inside in panic."Mr Hudson, you shouldn't be moving about so fiercely. You're still in a critical state!" She said to him, trying to calm him down."Stop Megan, please..." Owen said with tears in his eyes.The nurse looked at him with pity at his poor plight. She had heard everything from where she was outside the ward. But she couldn't do anything to stop Megan from doing what she wanted to do.And there was almost no one who could help him.Owen sobbed with tears. There was nothing he could do except stay where he was and wait for her to come back.About an hour later, Megan and her mom came back inside and Megan even had

    SAFETY

    Chapter 130Owen was busy going through the file he had acquired from Mr. Reynold’s home, he was trying to find out if there was another hideout of Mr. Reynold he could find. Just then he heard approaching footsteps that caused him to stop what he was doing, he saw Mr. Richard entering his room, and he sighed and dropped the file he was working on. “Uncle Richard” he called and Mr Richard sat down on the bed. “How are you doing?” he asked and his gaze fell on the file Owen was busy with. “It seems you are busy, I should leave I might only come here to disturb you” he quickly added and Owen dropped the file on the table. “You are not disturbing me, uncle, I am glad you are here, I am trying to find out if Uncle Reynold has another villa he is hiding” Owen replied and Mr. Richard’s hand traveled all over his face. “I don’t know Owen, I don’t think he had another and even if he does he won’t be there knowing we are going to find out” Mr Richard replied and Owen nodded. “I am tired Ow

    Chapter 129“It’s about how Owem was able to know our location” his men replied and he arched his brows at him. Mr. Reynold paced back and forth in his study, his mind consumed by the urgent matter at hand. His trusted man stood before him, a grave expression etched upon his face."Speak," Mr. Reynold commanded, his voice low and steely.The man cleared his throat, his gaze unwavering. "Sir, I've discovered why our location was leaked. It was one of Owen's men, a skilled hacker, who hacked the software and they were able to find out your location." the man started and Mr Reynold hit his fist on the wall. “I know one person that’s capable of doing this! It’s Simon! It’s no other person but him! It seems he didn’t suffer enough the last time I had him and he is out again to annoy me.” A surge of anger coursed through Mr. Reynold's veins, his fists clenching at his sides. “Is there anything you want us to do sir? We have been trying to find his location but it’s not working, we have do

    RECLAIM WHATS MINE

    Chapter 128Mr Reynold was busy pacing about in the room he was in when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, he cleared his throat and spoke. “Open the door”The door was pushed open and one of his men came inside bowing himself before him. “Is everything alright?” he inquired. “Yes sir, I am just here with the file you requested” the guard replied and he cleared his throat, motioning him to move closer. “Bring it let me see” he replied and then he moved closer. He gave Mr Reynold the files and stepped out of the room, as soon as he was gone, Mr Reynold sat down on his seat hoping he could find what he needed in the file. As Mr. Reynold sifted through the files his men had provided, a seething anger brewed within him. Each document, each report, seemed to mock his efforts. He had fled the villa in a panicked rush when the police had come knocking, seeking refuge in this less-than-ideal hideout. He was hoping with those files he would be able to gather what might help him, overco

    WHO TIPPED HIM

    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

    WHERE IS HAYDEN!

    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
