Chapter 77Megan sighed as she arrived home, she met her mother restless and Rebecca stopped pacing about when she noticed her come inside the house, she moved closer to her immediately and grabbed her hands. “Is everything okay? What did they say?” she inquired and Megan sighed, moving her hand away from Rebecca.“I am scared mom, I don’t know where Martin is, and who knows if he might come for me, it clears Owen doesn’t want to have anything to do with me and I don’t think there’s anything I can do to change that. Everything is so messy right now, and I don’t know how to go about it!” Megan complained Rebecca let out a long sigh. “But everything is okay at the station right, they didn’t do anything to you,” Rebecca asked “They didn’t find me guilty of anything for now, and they made me write down a statement, Owen believes I am working hand in hand with Martin whereas I’m here going crazy because I don’t know where he is!” Megan said frustratedly.“It’s fine, as far they hold noth
Chapter 78“You have to go through all of these today sir, there are a lot of pending works that need to be attended to immediately and this will be important for tomorrow’s board meeting,” Owen’s secretary said, and he nodded his head.He was already tired from the day’s work, and he was even more frustrated with the fact he didn’t know where Martin was, he wanted to take him back to the prison where truly belonged, and then everything would go back to how it’s supposed to be. “I will go through it soon” he muttered, and the secretary nodded a bit before walking out of his office, as soon as she was gone, he sighed and rested his head on his chair squeezing his eyes shut He was trying to relax when his phone suddenly started ringing jolting him from his peaceful state, without looking at the caller's ID, he hissed and placed the phone on silent, going back to the position he was in. His phone kept on vibrating and after a while, he couldn’t test anymore, he wondered who was seriou
Chapter 79Hayden stopped walking after remembering he was the one who brought Maya here at first, and he needed to take her back to the hospital. He walked back to the building and saw Maya walking out of the house, she stopped walking when she noticed Hayden. “Did you forget anything?” she asked “I have to drop you off first” Hayden replied and they both walked inside the car, he started the car and drove them to the busy road. The car ride was filled with silence and Maya wasn’t feeling comfortable, she felt like she needed to explain herself, knowing she might have hurt Hayden.She blamed herself for talking, but at the same time, she couldn’t help it, since she didn’t want Hayden to keep having hopes that something might happen between them. “Hayden…” he cut her short “Don’t Maya, I don’t want to talk about it right now, okay?” he muttered and Maya swallowed slowly nodding her head. The rest of the drive was filled with silence, Hayden dropped her at the hospital and turned,
Chapter 80“Are you going to eat it or not, or do you want me to dung your head inside the bowl!” Martin screamed at Katrina who was tied to a chair, she cried out terribly. “How do you expect me to eat when my hands are tied behind my back!” she cried out and Martin smirked “You should have thought about that before you went behind my back to do all sorts of rubbish! Do you think I didn’t catch up to you so fast, you must have thought Owen was going to save you, where is he now?!” Martin screamed and yanked her hair, a cry escaped her lips. “You should have followed a simple instruction, if you had done what I asked you to do, everything would have been great between us, but you chose not to and you see now! You have to face the consequences of your actions!” Martin growled and hit her head on the chair. Katrina bit her tongue mistakenly, and she could feel the metallic taste of blood in her mouth, her eyes were red as she cried terribly, she couldn’t believe Martin could turn in
Chapter 81“How did you get here?!” Megan asked and stumbled, almost losing her stance while Martin chuckled, he could sense the fear in her and how her body was visibly shaken.“Do you think I won’t find you after escaping from the prison? I had you in mind while staying there, and I had to send my condolences as soon as I heard about the death of your father!” Martin replied in a mockery tone. Megan regretted staying back, she should have left with the rest of her family and she wouldn’t have to stay alone with Martin.She wasn’t sure what Martin might do, so her eyes darted around quickly, and she noticed her family was long gone and there was no one close by to save her from him. “What do you want from me?!” Megan growled, trying to remain confident even though she was failing woefully, Martin smirked and took a step towards her, she took one back fearfully “What do you think I want from you? I am going to avenge you for everything you have done to me, you were the reason I lost
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
