" The school believes in you, Rex. Rainbow Core College wouldn't have gained positive fame without you. " One of the best things I have done in my life is give you a scholarship. You did me proud. " But if you are found guilty tomorrow at the hall, everyone will be disappointed, Rex. " We will be heartbroken so I beg of you, my dear. Prove the haters wrong and make us proud " That were Mr. Draston's words before he finally left the hospital with Mario, his assistant. Rex couldn't breathe for a very long time. He feels so much scared and agitated now. What if he never gets help? What if no one comes to his rescue this time? Suddenly we look up at Gael and swallow hard. Sheila recognized that look on the three Friends' faces. They needed some privacy. Swiftly she made her way to the exit as she mutters. " I will bring in some food Rex " When the door closes behind Sheila, Rex asked Gael urgently. " How is my Father? Did he tell you anything? What was his response when you get
Karson almost fall from his chair when he first saw his elder brother who he thought to be mad appears. When he heard him use the term ' Son ' to address Rex, he almost had a heart attack. " Dad... Is that uncle Louie? " Khalil asked in shock but no one answered him. Lady Thelma was dumbfounded. She had her jaw dropped in great awe as goosebumps overwhelmed her skin. Rex Louie was just like everyone else. His eyes brim with tears of joy and gratitude. He couldn't believe his father is there before him. The media went agog. That hall on that day witnesses the most shocking revelation ever. Everyone had known the stories but only a few has the grace to witness them. The real next in line to Pa Riley's wealth, Louie, and the true heir to his fortune, Rex. Mr Harlan, Emilio's Father gasp in shock as he recognized the man in the doorway. " He is once my boss. No one is more generous than him " He says. And so Louie marched forward with his face laced with no expression. He is ang
Karson pours himself a glass of alcohol and gingerly brought the rim of the glass cup to his lips. He is back at home with his son and Khalil watched his father lean over the counter. He could almost feel his anger seeping out and he knows it was only a matter of time before he snapped. All of a sudden, just as Khalil was having this thought, his father grabbed the glass cup he hold and slammed it against the wall viciously. Karson was beyond reasoning. He took a stride to the bar and pushed angrily at them. All that his hands touched were broken and damaged but he didn't stop there. He goes to the expensive tv and detached it from the wall. With his eyes red in great anger, he crashed it against the wall and screams out loud. " Dad I think you should calm... Down " " Calm down? " Karson repeated dully. " Did you just say I should calm down? " He made his way to his son who step back gently in fear. Khalil fears his Father so much, especially when he is this angry. Karson gr
Rex Louie ran out into the hall and grabbed the first doctor he sees by the arm. " You have to help Pa Riley. He is dying " The doctor let go of the drugs he was holding and ran like a man possessed into the room of the old Quadrillionaire. An alarm blares up from nowhere, indicating the man who owns the prestige hospital's life is in grave danger. In no time doctors and nurses storm the hall and made their way to Pa Riley's side. As they dash passes Rex, the young man becomes breathless. He made his way out of the building as he thrives to get himself together. It all started with taking away his mother's life. Now his grandpa's life is in danger. When Rex emerges, the media made it to his side but thanks to the security guard who arrived at his aid. " One Question Rex Louie " One Said. " Please, just one " Another yelled. Rex Louie look around the crowd and look away to breathe, just then he reasoned. Someone from the medical staff surely has tried to kill his Grandpa. Sw
" Dad Karson will have a new plan. He will try to make Grandpa's surgery not go well. You will be held, responsible Dad " " Rex... " " No father. No! " He disagreed strongly. " I can't lose you again. I can never let you go again " They are in the hall alone with Mr Harlan who only watches without interrupting. Louie gripped his son's arm very tightly and stared deep into his eyes. " You should calm down Rex. Leaving you again is not an option. Go back to school and get some rest " " No father " He disagreed with his head shaking in the negative but the older man patted his shoulder. " You should go Rex and be safe. I will be here throughout to see to the surgery " Rex do not want to disobey his father so he nodded in the positive and he mutters." You call me whenever things come up, promise? "" Promise " Rex steps back now and turn towards the exit but then he heads back to his father and hugs him from behind. Louie didn't move or speak. He only caresses his son's hands a
" Guys Sheila won't speak to me. I mean, I apologized already but she still won't forgive me " " I understand her plight. It's normal if she never speaks to you again " " Come on Gael. You should be consoling Rex. Not do the opposite " They were in their room and on their bed. Rex laid down, face up while Gael sat down fiddling with his pen. As for Emilio, he laid down, belly to the bed, and books scattered all over his bed. Rex has returned from the hall where he had begged Sheila but the lady turns deaf ears to his plea. " I have the feeling things would go ugly after my dad returns. What do you think guy ? " Rex asked with a low sigh and Gael turn his gaze to him before giving his shoulder a small shrug. " Your dad is brilliant and Smart. I am sure he will beat all odds and come out strong " " I pray Pa Riley wakes up soon. I have the feelings Karson is after his wealth. Do you hear what Kahlil said the other night? " Emilio asked but he didn't wait for any response before
" You have to save my Grandpa. He is dying. What did you do to him? " " I had to inject him. He has to die for my son to live Rex " Sharon replied. " My only son, Emilio " The tension is high and Rex couldn't breathe. The two humans mean a lot to him. He has to save both of them at the same time. Swiftly he gets to Sharon and grabbed her wrists very gently. " I will save Emilio. He is my friend, my best friend. I will do everything in my power to bring him to safety but you have got to save my Grandpa too " Sharon's head snapped up and her eyes stare hard into that of Rex's. " Rex this is a very precarious situation. It involves the life of my son..." " Two lives. That of my grandpa and my best friend. A friend that is like a brother to me. I will save Emilio. I know how this is. I know what to do and how to do it. Save the life of my grandpa and I will bring Emilio to you, alive " He didn't wait for any words from Sharon before he left her and Storm out. He gets to the hall
" No, that's impossible. Romeo made me this. My son, the one I told you about. He lives in the asylum and uh... Just get busy with his skills " Rex wanted to make more enquires but then the door flipped open and Sheila walks in. She ran to the bedside and took Emilio's hand. The latter smiled at her as though to inform her he is fine. " I am so worried. I'm glad you are safe " She said softly with a small smile. Rex automatically forgot about his conversation with Nurse Cassandra at that moment and he walks to Emilio. They have a light conversation and Sheila decided to surprise them. She brought out three identical bracelets from her bag. On this bracelet was written, PLAYBOYS. She distributed it to them each and smile at their confused expression. " It might appear as a bracelet to everyone but to you three and me it is a tracking device. Whenever you three are nearer it will blink. See... " Truth to her words the bracelet began to blink rapidly. She continues. " You can lo
