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
Chapter 85“Griffin Robert, you remember your name!” the man said on the phone and he sounded shocked, Owen squeezed his eyes shut, he didn’t know how to explain to the man he didn’t know but only found a journal. Even though the man had made him realize a lot of things, he was still skeptical about telling him some things, he is in no position to trust anyone right now. “Where do you think is the perfect place we could meet!” he asked instead.“We can’t allow anyone to see us together, I had to fight my way to get to see you because I don’t want Reynold to see me, he might kill me so perhaps we can meet in a good location, I will send you the location and then we will meet, where no one hardly visits” the old man replied and Owen wasn’t sure if he could trust him and go to this place he had referred to.“Okay, I will come as soon as you send it” he replied and the call came to an end. He knows if he wants the answer that he seeks, he has to take risks.His phone suddenly beeped rev
Chapter 86Mr. Reynold couldn’t hold in his eagerness as he walked briskly out of the company and went inside his car, his chauffeur sat down too, and ignited the car engine quickly. “Where are we going to Sir?” the chauffeur asked “Take me to the mansion, Owen’s home” he replied, and the chauffeur nodded, igniting the car engine as he drove them out of the company. He was busy tapping his feet on the car impatiently. He couldn’t believe everything he had worked so hard for, for the past year was finally coming into play, and he was finally getting what he deserved. He felt like the car was too slow and couldn’t ask the driver to drive faster because they would exceed the speeding limit, he cursed when they had to stop because of traffic, and finally, he made it to the mansion. He came down from the car quickly and made his way inside, ignoring the greetings of the workers, at the same time he came down from the car, Owen had stepped out of the car too, and he was walking gently
Chapter 87Maya’s lips hung open after listening to everything Owen said, she was shocked and at the same time, felt so bad for him, she didn’t understand why he had to go through all that, he deserved more than what was happening to him. “I still can’t believe it” she muttered and Owen chuckled sipping the juice he was taking, he wasn’t as emotional as he was before, and now he felt better after speaking to Maya, he couldn’t help but watch how worried she looks, and he felt she was cute.“Are you going to tell Hayden all this, or you have already told him about it?” she suddenly asked, which caused Owen to drop the drink in his hand and let out a sigh. “I am not sure if I should tell him or not, I am scared of getting betrayed by another person again” Owen replied and Maya scorned a bit.“I don’t think Hayden is going to betray you, I am not the best at judging characters, but I can see how transparent Hayden is; he had all reasons to hate you but had always supported you, I know t
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
