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. " Do you think your mum will succeed in convincing Mrs Harlan? Emilio's mother is quite overprotective when it comes to her son " " I know. Why are you here so late? You go somewhere else? " Sheila asked this time and Rex nodded. Immediately he look up to Gael and said. " I got new
Adrenaline pumped life into Rex's legs and heart. The heavy question bothers him and he made to find the truth out. He made towards the exit in a bid to visit Lady Thelma herself and make her do the talking but then Sheila's voice came, stopping him. " Rex please don't go " She begged softly. " Rex please... " He stopped in the doorway and turn to her in awe. It seems she just made him more annoyed. " Do you know about this? Are you here as her spy or something? " 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 gritted his teeth and watched as the lady creased up her face in pain. " Rex let her go. Sheila won't dare betray us. You are hurting her " Gael's voice came and Rex obeyed. 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
Sheila alighted from her car and ran into the St Louie hospital. The prestigious hospital Pa Riley had built in the name of his first son. The hall wasn't crowded at all but in the room Pa Riley was, it was crowdy. The doctor advised everyone to leave but his words weren't obeyed. When Sheila enters Karson turns to stare at her as well as everyone. He scoffed lightly then look away. " Took you long enough to come here for your grandpa. I assume you will be dining with that thief Rex Louie " " Rex Louie isn't a thief Uncle and I'm sorry I arrived late. How is Grandpa doing? " " Will die at any time" Khalil replied but then quickly slapped a palm to his lips. Everyone exchanged expressions at this and Lady Thelma at last broke silent. She stepped out of the room and pull Sheila out as well. The two made their way to the silent balcony and Lady Thelma turn to stare at her adopted daughter. " What were you doing with Rex Louie? You shouldn't be near that young man. You know his so
Rex was lying on the bed but he wasn't asleep. Instead, he was busy reading his book and trying to catch up. Gael is in bed too but he was busy with his cell phone at that moment while Emilio is busy taking his bath. The boys were so engrossed in their stuff that when Emilio's cell phone began to buzz, it captures the attention of Gael and Rex. " Emilio you have a call! " Rec holler. " Coming! " He replied from the shower. Seconds later he comes out with his towel around his waist and answered the call from his mother. " Mum, hi "" My dear. How are you today? I am sure your beloved Friends would take care of you " " Of course. I'm fine. I skipped class today but I will surely attend tomorrow " The lady on the other end stopped for some time and then replied as she tries to keep her voice gentle. " Well, I would hate your grade to drop Emilio. You should rest but keep being brilliant. I would be worried if..." " If you got low grades because that is what happens to me in the
