Chelsea walked out of the building and went straight to her car. She felt like screaming at the top of her lungs, but that was only going to drain the little energy she had left.The day that was supposed to be the most beautiful day of her life turned into a nightmare just like five years ago.It was as if she was cursed never to marry and in the curse, there was one common denominator, and that was Rex.The swine was in both of her disastrous weddings. He was the bad karma that she needed to get rid of with her bare hands.She hit her steering wheel hard as she drove to the nearest liquor store. She wanted something strong for her nerves.She got into the store and picked the strongest whisky.She headed to the counter to pay and handed her card to the cashier.The cashier stared at her as she swiped the card.She looked dirty and miserable in the wedding dress."What the fuck are you staring at?" Chelsea snapped at her.The cashier looked away and went on to process the payment.Ch
A new day came and Rex stood in front of his huge window, smiling. News of Chelsea's arrest had just reached him, and he could not help but smile."Please hold her for a few days, I will be right there," he ordered."Where are you going?" Sydney asked from behind.Rex slowly turned and found her dressed in a custom-made expensive Gucci dress."How do I look?" Sydney asked, spinning around."Wow, you look like a royalty," Rex replied."Thank you, thanks to Chelsea's money," Sydney replied. "I mean our money," she corrected herself.Rex smiled."I also need a car, but I do not know how to drive," Sydney said in a low tone."What? You never learned to drive?" Rex asked.Sydney looked away, uncomfortable. She never had the time or money to learn how to drive. How could she, when she was busy taking care of her vegetative niece and disabled father?Rex noticed her facial expression and realized how sensitive his question was."I will teach you how to drive," he offered."You will?" Sydne
Chelsea went to the floor with a bang, her head felt like it was about to burst as she let out a scream."You stupid little fool!" Melissa charged at Sydney, but Rex quickly placed himself in front of his little sister."Touch one hair on her and I will make sure you join your pathetic cousin in the cell!" Rex warned.Melissa moved a step back; she was still uncomfortable with the man who was supposed to be dead.Miguel, on the other hand, remained in the doorway. He did not want to be anywhere near Rex."She attacked Chelsea!" Melissa whispered."You mean a criminal that shoplifted whisky?" Rex corrected with a smirk.Melissa was tempted to hit him, but she controlled herself.The station captain walked in. "Can you all tone it down before I lock you all up?" he warned them.Melissa quickly searched in her handbag and pulled out a $50 note. She did not want to spend any more seconds in the filthy place."Here is the money, release my cousin," she handed the money to the captain.Hear
Rex was left with no choice but to watch his sister get into a taxi and drive away. A wave of disappointment always washed over him every time he remembered that day. His stupid wedding day.It was the defining moment that led to all the shit that happened to his family. A point in his life that he wanted deleted but could not. If only he could build a time machine.The mistake he made on that day was forever going to haunt him for the rest of his life.He got in his car, tempted to follow her, but talked himself out of it. She needed time to process his humiliating secret. He could only imagine the horror on his father's face once he heard the truth.He instead drove away. The police captain was going to make sure the useless slut stayed at least three days behind bars.Three days was going to be enough for her to understand that her hell on earth had begun.He picked up his phone and texted his hackers to wire money to the captain's account without leaving a trace before driving awa
Shedding tears over spilt milk was not going to solve anything, Rex quickly put himself together and walked back inside, saying his goodbyes.Sydney couldn't help but notice his red eyes, but chose to ignore him.Rex got in the car and drove straight to the Jones mansion for his breakfast date with the stepmother.The place looked the same as the last time he was there, five years ago.The mansion was co-owned by Selena and Chelsea. Either of the two wanted to sell their half to the other.The two women were both hot-headed and power angry and would rather share the house, even though they hated each other than sell.He arrived at the door and rang the bell.After a few minutes, Selena walked to the door, dressed in an expensive dinner dress and opened the door.Rex could not help but smile as he eyed her from top to bottom."Felt like dressing up," Selena smiled."You look beautiful as always," Rex handed her a rose flower and walked inside.The inside had not been changed either. Th
The fourth day came with Chelsea still in her wedding dress and locked up without any signs of being released.Her detention was illegal, and she planned to sue the stupid police station for siding with Rex and all the humiliation.All the efforts she was making to free herself were futile. Peter Banks was not returning her calls, forcing her to stretch her arm.While the man she was supposed to marry had blocked her and her family from all social modes of communication.Everything was Rex's fault. If the filthy idiot had not shown up, she would have been in Ryan's arms in the Bahamas on their honeymoon, but the dung beetle showed up and took everything.She closed her eyes, imagining how she was going crash Rex when Melissa walked in."Did you talk to him?" she quickly got up."Yes, and I threatened to show his family the sex videos if he did not help you," Melissa replied. "He made some calls, you will be out," she added.Chelsea let out a sigh of relief. The stupid videos that were
All dressed up custom-made gown, Selena heard the commotion downstairs and went running with a gun in her hands, ready to shoot."Anyone moves, I will blow their fu*king heads off!" she warned.Both Melissa and Chelsea froze with their arms in the air."How dare you threaten my date!" Selena yelled, slowly walking down the stairs.Rex looked up, impressed. He had earlier doubted using Selena, but she was perfect for the job and ready to draw blood.Chelsea slowly got up, rubbing her already sore behind.She staggered towards Selena, who was now aiming the gun at her. "How dare you point a gun at me in my house!" Chelsea yelled."You mean half my house!" Selena corrected. "My house!" Chelsea yelled.Selena rolled her eyes"Back when you were engaged to Rex, you used to bring different men into this house, but I never once threatened them or exposed you!" Selena spat out.Rex felt a sting in his chest, an unpleasant feeling that he did not expect, but he held himself back.Chelsea loo
Selena returned the smile and went through the contract. It was a two-page contract that went straight to the point without any hidden clauses or confusing legal language.All Rex wanted was for heer to sign over her half of the assets that she and Chelsea co-owned.The assets were three in total, most of the other properties were sold off over the years.There was the company, which was not making any profits, and if it was, Chelsea was probably keeping it to herself.Then there was the Mansion, which was beautiful but draining to maintain. She and Chelsea always footed the bills while Miguel and Melissa were adult dependents who they had to feed.Then lastly, there was the land that they were always quarreling about and never deciding what to build on it. But in the past years, she had heard rumors of Chelsea secretly selling off pieces of it.Even if Rex had not shown up, she was screwed. Chelsea was either going to leave her in debt or have used her new status if she had gotten ma
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
