Rex closed the door and breath out very shakily. His eyes redden but he choked back tears and headed out. " Rex? Rex! " The nurse, Belinda was calling but he ignores her as he goes out. When he passed the receptionist table, the lady sprang up from her seat and called unto him but Rex turn deaf ears. " You haven't given me your autograph. You promised a month ago, remember? " This compelled Rex to stop Abruptly. He sniffed carefully and then made his way to the lady. " Pen please " He demanded softly and the receptionist gave it to him. She stretched out her jotter and Rex received it. Swiftly he scribble on it and headed out without any words. He flagged down a taxi as soon as he reached out.On his way home the taxi passed through a flower shop and he asked him to stop beside it.Rex steps out and walks towards the shop. He bent down to pick one of the flowers, the favorite one of his father who is dead. He thrust his hand into his pocket for money but he sees he is broke. Slo
That morning the cloud hung up above the sky and it would rain at any time. Rex took his time to repair the broken furnitures in the house. He restored everywhere back in order and took his phone to ordee breakfast later on. He goes ahead to take his bath and dressed up. Later he settled on the couch, in the living room to watch some TV and await his breakfast when his cell phone rang out unexpectedly. He pulled it out to see Gael's name displayed as the caller. Rex answered it but what he heard made him spring up from the couch. " Where the hell are you? Don't you watch TV? " Gael was asking. He sounds so breathless and on the run. " What...what Is going on? Where are you? " " It's Emilio. He had an accident on his way back home last night. It's on the news " Rex's heart skipped a beat and he slowly turns to the TV. There he saw the unpleasant sight of his car which Emilio had taken the night before. The car was crushed at the side by something akin to a truck. The cell phone
The thunder clapped out loudly as Rex made his way out of the hospital and the rain started pouring down rather aggressively. Rex was under it and his hair, and clothes were drenched in just a minute but he didn't feel it. One of his favorite people on earth is on the sick bed and he wasn't allowed to see him. He feels so heartbroken and dismayed that Sharon seems to hate him so much. Rex didn't move away for shelter. He didn't make any move to protect himself from the cold. Instead, he welcome the loneliness that was accompanying the rage in his heart. The heavy question weigh on his mind and he pondered on it so hard. Who would have tried to kill Emilio? The accident isn't a coincidence. It is done knowingly. The perp wanted to end Emilio's life, right? " Get away from the rain Rex. You might catch a cold " Gael interrupted his thoughts as he comes to him, pulling him into the hospital but Rex shook his head. " I won't disobey Emilio's mother. She doesn't want me for her son
Rex was the one driving the car and the address where Laurel's Cellphone was turned out to be on the highway. Rex and Gael alighted hastily to see what they found. It's a very silent area with nothing and no one except the cellphone which lies on the floor. Gael walks slowly to it and bent down to pick up the mobile. His heart thudded crazily against his chest. He is so worried about his mother and what they'd do to her. All of a sudden Rex's cell phone rang out. He snatched it out of his pocket immediately and answered the call from that same unknown number. A laughter erupted from the man on the other end and he sigh carefully. " You must be sad and guilty. You must be scared and furious. Well, tell you what Rex Louie, you can save your friend's mother now. " Tell me the answer to my question. What is the source of your wealth? " " Cut the bullshit crap and tell me where the hell you keep her! " " Slow down Rex. Take a deep breath and relax. I will fax you the address but I
The long wait has been over for Rex Louie. He decided to take things further when he realized his tormentor has been targeting his beloved ones. He pressed his leg on the gas pedal and drove out, Towards the asylum home. He surely won't be crying or falling at his father's feet to save himself now, no! He is the sky, the peak, the lifeline of masses, and an Octillionaire. Kneeling isn't in his option at all. When he alighted from Sheila's car, he headed straight to the room his father was kept. He passes through the receptionist's table but didn't give her any of his attention. All that occupies his mind was to have that conversation with his father. He pushed open the door minutes later and step in. There he saw Louie reading an old book and laying down on his small bed. Louie had to sit up when he saw his only son and just like everyone else, he also has seen the news. Rex took his steps cautiously. He headed towards his father but didn't sit. He is still wet from the rain
" I told you he will come back. Rex isn't just a guy who gives up so easily " Gael said to Sheila as they watch him drive in. The young Octillionaire alighted and stopped abruptly beside the car when he saw Gael. Swiftly he rushed to his side in awe. Though he was glad that he comes back, he couldn't believe he is there. " Why are you here? How is your mum? Did she know you left already? " He asked swiftly without giving Gael any time to breathe or answer. " Slow down Rex Louie " Gael replied with a chuckle. " My mother is inside the hospital with Mrs Harlan. She advises us to come back " Rex was taken aback by this. He couldn't believe it. Slowly he looks passed Gael to the hospital and he sighed.

" He had already grabbed her by the arm and pinned her against the wall. " Start speaking Sheila before I lose my temper "As if he hasn't let it loose in the first place.

He left her arm but still made it to the doorway. Emilio knows it will only prolong the situation so he speaks out. " Don't go, Rex. Just let it go. Thank goodness no one is h

For what seemed like an eternity he didn't move or speak. He only watches in silence at the blank space. After some time Emilio appears in the doorway. He debated on how possible to present his speech. " Come along now Rex. Let's go " Rex replied silently. He stood up from the bed and packed all his belongings. He didn't speak or react.
