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
Chapter 90“What did you see?” Owen asked through the phone. “This is not something we can discuss over the phone Owen, I need to see you” Maya replied “Then let’s meet at home, I will come over now” Owen stated Maya ended the phone call and looked around hoping that no one had seen her, her hands were shaking. She placed her phone back in her bag. Instead of going back to the hospital, she took a cab that took her back to the mansion, she arrived at the mansion before Owen and was busy pacing about when the door suddenly opened, Owen stepped inside and Maya quickly rushed over to meet him. “Calm down and tell me everything, okay?” Owen asked, and Maya held Owen’s hand immediately. “You won’t believe who I saw, Owen! I saw Megan with Martin but with the look of things it seemed Martin was threatening Maya, I couldn’t believe Martin could step out in the broad daylight when everyone was searching for him; he was wanted” Maya said and Owen ran his hand in his head remembering that K
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
