Rex needed fresh air and wanted to give his wife time to process his idea or make a decision for her mother.He walked downstairs and headed outside straight to his car.He was about to open it when Peter popped out of nowhere.He was from watching the recording in the kitchen. He clearly heard Rex tell his daughter he was pressing charges for the assault.He had cameras in all the rooms except his daughter’s room and the one he shared with his wife so he was always watching. If only he could put cameras in his daughter’s room but that was where he drew the line. Being a father came first compared to being the director.“You are not going to the police, are you?” he asked.“I am going to the police, no one is above the law and do not push me. Let this be the last time you put your hands on me or else everyone will know about Romania,” Rex threatened and got into the car, driving off.Peter watched with a smile. Finally, the little shit confessed. It was not much but a threat was a th
Rex walked to the restaurant kitchen as soon as he hung up and joined the manager.He had a huge smile on his face, hoping the old fool got the message. He was also human and running out of patience.I call and he could bury the old foolThe manager walked to him and greeted him.“Welcome, Mr. Grayson. We have made your request and were about to transport everything into the van,” she stated and asked if he wanted to counter-check everything.“Of course, my wife is very particular,” he replied and checked if the food was exactly as he requested.Everything looked good. He thanked the manager, made payments, and then walked out.He drove back home with the restaurant van following him and arrived at the gate requesting for the guards to open it, but they ignored his request.He closed his eyes. He was not going to allow them to ruin his mood, so he grabbed his phone and instead of calling his wife, he called his father-in-law.“Please do not make me call the deputy again. Do you know
Rex’s eyes fixed on her, not sure how to react. He was very aware that she was not dumb. She was the nosy type who paid attention to details but was blinded by her love for him.“Let's eat,” he replied, instead being careful not to ruin the night.“Seriously, Rex, I would love it if you suppressed that side of you that has a bone to chew with my father and concentrate on our love,” she hugged him.“I assure you, there is only one Rex, the Rex that wants you to be happy with you,” he replied.He drew a chair for her and the two took seats. Rose was finally smiling. She dropped the topic, she did not want to ruin the moment.She wanted to believe, Rex was going to get bored with her father, she could see it.She had expected him to return with the police and have her father arrested, but he returned with a restaurant in her backyard.She cleared her throat and spoke “Should we order or wait for Mom?” she asked.“Let's eat, she will join us,” Rex smiled.“Alright, Mr. Romantic, but I am
The security personnel rushed to Peter's aid, noticing that he was struggling to walk.“Get your filthy hands off of me!” Peter snapped at them forcing the two guards to move away.Peter tried to take a step back, but his legs felt as if they were tangled in some form of wire, sending him to the ground.The guards quickly ran to his aid.“I said get your filthy hands off of me!” he roared at them loud enough for everyone in the garden to hear.Rose and her mother looked in his direction and found him on the ground yelling.“Ooh god… dad!” Rose ran to his aid while Patricia sat back in her chair and asked for more wine.“Why are you just standing there? Why are you not helping him!” Rose yelled at the guards.She knelt over and tried to help him.“Get off of me, you traitor!” Peter yelled at her.Rose moved a step back, she could smell the alcohol.“I do not need your help… You and your mother are traitors!” he spat out, pulling himself into a crawling position.His heart felt heavy, h
Patricia pushed on him, trying to free herself but he was too strong for her. His grip on her hand was hurting.“Or else you will find yourself locked up for assault!” Rose’s voice came from behind.Peter turned.“Get your hands off my mother! I will not say it again,” she added.Peter finally let go of his wife’s arm.Patricia quickly ran to her daughter.Peter turned to them and pointed at Rex, “This man is using you, the sooner you see it, the safer you will be.”“Dad just shut up! Shut up!” Rose yelled at him. “You've lost it, you should be thanking Rex for what he has been doing to help Mom!” “Rose, don't waste your time,” Patricia smiled at her and looked up at Rex. “Let's go, we are already late,” she said and led the way.Rex walked down the stairs and gave Rose a kiss on the forehead, “I will see you in the afternoon,” he said walking out.Father and daughter were left glaring at each other.Rose turned and decided to go in for work. She was not going to remain in the house
Rex rubbed his eyes, trying to remember the specifics of the money conversation he had with his wife. “Rex, could you please say something?” his wife snapped him out of his thoughts. “Rose, I thought you married me for my heart and looks,” he joked, raising his eyebrows at her. Rose folded her arms, clearly unimpressed with his joke.“Okay, fine. I own some tech companies that I supply to agencies, and lately, I have been receiving a lot of contracts that have been bringing in a lot of money,” he explained. “Some?? Which companies?” Patricia asked. “RX specs and Eyex are just some of the examples,” he replied, leaving both the mother and daughter stunned. “But… but Eyex is owned by that Arabic man?” Patricia recalled. “Those are what we call shell CEOs,” he explained. “Most of my companies are run by shell owners while I sit in the back, relaxing and enjoying my retirement. I recently just hit billionaire status, and it might become plummet in a few days, so it's not a big deal
Another new day came and Rex opened his eyes to find his wife on top of him.“Good morning, beautiful. How was your sleep?” she whispered in his ear, giving him a kiss.“Are you touching me without my consent?” Rex whispered back.“Yes, you can go and report me to the police after I am done with you,” she kissed him on the lips.Rex smiled and placed his arms around her waist, but before he could reply, the door opened and Patricia walked in.“It is already morning, wake up,” she said.“Mom!” Rose got off her husband, clearly irritated. “Can't you knock! Why do you think there is a door!”“Calm down, Rex is not a shy guy,” her mother teased and handed him papers.Rex covered up and grabbed the papers.“This is the financial statements from the accountant,” she explained.“Seriously, you invaded our privacy for financial statements!” Rose lost it. “Mom, you could not wait!”“It's 8 am, sweetheart, and unlike you, who is married to a billionaire, I have bills to pay,” her mother replied
Patricia slowly took a seat, trying to process what she had just heard. There was a small part of her that was telling her it was all lies. There was no way her husband would risk his job title. He loved being the director of NSA, which was one of the main reasons she was running the company and not him.“Patricia?” Rex called her nameShe lowered her head and looked at the paper again.“You are sure… Your software did not make a mistake?” “Hundred per cent sure. If I was not sure, I would not have called you,” he replied.She kept quiet again“I just texted Rose to come home and she will be here in a few minutes,” he added.Patricia looked up at him, “You told her everything?”“No, I will leave that to you, but I have a suggestion that I want the both of you to hear,” he said.Patricia gazed at him. She had been trying to hold in the anger but could no longer hold it.She carefully placed the laptop on the bed and headed for the door, but Rex blocked her.“Hey, calm down,” he said t
Rex sat in his office, waiting for the deliberations on his application for the Director position. The supervisors were locked for over an hour, debating while he sat in front of his laptop watching Peter run mad. It was two days in his holding cell, waiting for bail and for his lawyer who was trying to prove that Chelsea was not mentally stable and her confession was not reliable or credible in court. The man was busy tearing into Chelsea’s life and exposing her with a list of all the government officials she once slept with and all the illegal activities she was involved in. Their main goal was to tarnish Chelsea’s name so that she was deemed not credible to confess in any courtroom. Rex did not interfere, he sat back and watched from a distance as the two went on exposing their sex scandal and dirty laundry. Finally, his phone beeped. The supervisors were done. They called him and he entered the office very confident. “Congratulations Rex Grayson, you are officially the
Peter Banks was placed in handcuffs and taken to the van that drove him to the private detention center. He was calm and did not show any signs of resistance or frustration. He was more interested in the person who was going to lead the investigation, considering the dirt he had on all the directors and deputies in various agencies. That was why he was untouchable; everyone was dirty and was supposed to know not to go poking in other people’s business. He was taken into a room, and in minutes, his supervisors and deputy walked in.“I will advise everyone to think or visit their lawyers before they say anything here,” he warned in an orderly tone.The door opened, and Rex walked in.“What the fuck is he doing here!” he yelled.“Rex is now part of our team and is leading this investigation,” the deputy announced, sending Peter slamming on the chair.He looked at his supervisor.“Last we checked, you are the one who recommended him, and it took him only a day to get a confession,” the
Rex headed for the NSA building and could see cars following him. He looked in the mirrors and stepped on the gas.The confession was going to reach the tribunal whether he was alive or dead.“Sir, take your next exit, we will block the cars,” the watchers assured him.Rex made a turn, and his phone rang.He looked at the caller, and it was Peter.He answered it, wanting to hear the old fool’s voice one last time.“Where is my daughter!” Peter yelled.“Cremated in a vessel,” Rex replied.Peter paused, his breath audible.“Do not worry, they placed her in two vessels, and I intend to bring one to your prison cell, plus my drug so that you get to live longer and save your sentence,” Rex replied and hung up.“You stupid fool! I will blow up! How could you cremate my daughter without me!” he yelled, but Rex had already hung up on him.He dialed the line, but it went on ringing.Frustrated, he called the men who were following Rex.They needed to abduct Rex, dead or alive.“How far! Why am
Rex slowly pulled away from the hug, tears streaming down his cheeks.“Ever since that woman walked into your life, you made her your priority and then your son came, and finally you were on your road to recovery,” he added and looked down. “You were nearly there Rex, you were almost there.”Tears kept flowing.It was his father’s job to say the right thing at the moment. Rex was his son, and condemning him was not his part.They went on with the funeral procession, after which we headed to one of Rex’s mansions Rex’s father walked up to him with Sam in his hands.“The little man missed you," he said.Rex smiled and held the baby in my arms.His father cleared his throat.“You are coming with us, right?" he asked.Rex kept his gaze on the baby.“Rex, this is where the vengeance ends. That man killed his own daughter, and as a father, that would be the worst kind of karma,” he stated.Rex kept staring at the baby.His phone beeped; it was the watchers.He gave the phone one glance and
“Where is my daughter?” Peter kept demanding from the hospital administrator.His daughter was supposed to be at St Luke, the other officers confirmed that's where they sent the body, but only to be told the hospital had no idea where the body was.He called his deputy, who kept ignoring his calls.Everyone he was calling had no idea where she was taken, and neither did he have an idea of Chelsea’s whereabouts.He could smell Rex all over everything. Even in his daughter’s death, the stupid boy was being petty.He called Rex’s line but could not get through.Pissed, he called his men to turn the city upside down until Rex was found.“No, no, find Chelsea first! Find that stupid bitch!” he screamed.Meanwhile, Rex and Patricia stood over Rose’s body, clad in protective clothing.Patricia could not stop the tears. She had a lot of regrets. If only she had not called her daughter back or turned to alcohol or cried over the stupid divorce. Her daughter had found a life with the man she l
The paramedics took Patricia away in the ambulance while Rex fixed his eyes on Peter, whose face was as grey as water-soaked chalk dust. It was the old man’s fault; he released Chelsea. He sent her to the function to kill him. He was the only one who had the power to infiltrate her into his security team. On the other hand, Peter could feel his legs numbing up; his daughter was dead. He killed his daughter; it was his fault. That was not a fact he could try to make excuses for or try to pull himself out of. He had known his family was going to be at the event, yet he risked it all. His only concentration was his target, to kill the target. To kill Rex Grayson He was led inside, ignoring Rex’s vicious eyes. He had expected the boy to be attacking him or throwing rants, but instead, he just sat there staring at him. “We finally have footage of what transpired,” the deputy announced and called Peter and other heads of the other agencies into a private room where they got to watch
Time froze for both Rex and Chelsea as they watched Rose land on the ground with a hit.Chelsea was supposed to shoot again, and this time she was not going to miss because Rex’s attention was on his wife, crying and trying to wake her up, but she just stood there.She knew she had messed up. Peter Banks was going to have her head, and she was not going to see any future.Peter Banks was supposed to give her a new identity and a new life. He even promised her a new country of her choice and a rich man to marry.But she could see all that going down the drain. A big hit to the head came from behind her as security personnel ran to the scene and disarmed her, sending her to the ground.Rex placed his hands over the bullets, calling out for his wife as blood began coming out of her mouth.“Rose! Rose! Rose, stay with me!” he yelled, his eyes darting around for help.He could tell the bullet went straight for her heart, and things were not good as she could barely open her eyes.However,
“How the fuck did you know about the charity event?” Rose yelled. “The invitations are not out yet, but you already know about the event?”Rex quickly got on his laptop, checking for any breach in security, but he found none.“Rose, the old board that you are trying to change was appointed by me, so they informed me about the event that you plan to replace them,” Peter explained.Rose slowly calmed down; she had completely forgotten why she wanted to change the board.“You are not invited. If you had cared, you would have called the day I gave birth!” Rose yelled, hanging up.She turned to face her husband. “He went snooping around the board, spying on me instead of reaching out to me!” she yelled, irritated.“I am going to block him. I do not want to speak to him or see his face!” she added.Rex got up from where he was seated and placed the baby in the crib.He walked to her and gave her a hug.“Bae, forget about him. The charity is not going to plan itself,” he advised her and pla
Rex was tempted to scream but restrained his excitement. Counting chickens before they hatch was never his style.But for eight months, he had tried to find a crime that would land the fool with more than ten years but always came up short.The closest he ever got was the money laundering, but because he cleaned both his mother-in-law and wife’s companies, he had automatically made himself an accomplice, which Peter would use against him.But now, with the CIA director awake, the flash, and a terrorist willing to confess, Peter was as good as gone.He was tempted to run after his wife and tell her the good news but restrained himself again.He was going to tell her everything after the investigations were done.He got up and took a shower, smiling and picturing how life with Peter locked up was going to be.He was going to be free, and there was a possibility of not leaving the country and bringing his family to join him and his wife.He finished his bath and headed out to meet with t
