Rex leaned back in his chair, he was not surprised with her reaction. He closed his eyes as he waited for his father's reaction.Sydney walked back, wheeling their father."He wants to abandon us again, Dad. I knew everything was too good to be true," she said.Rex looked in his father's direction, who was clearly sleepy but woken up by the news."What is she talking about?" Edward asked."This is temporary, after I am done with all the enemies that had a hand in Sam's death, I will come and get you," he explained.Edward sneered at his son.Rex got up; "I know we have just reunited, but as long as I am going after our enemies, you three are not safe here," he explained."Why not just kill the stupid enemies and move on?" Sydney yelled."Sydney, shut up and go to your room!" her father ordered."If you agree to his request, I am remaining with Lisa even if it means going back to our dirty, stinking house!" she yelled and ran to the kitchen.Her father ignored her and lifted his disapp
Rex casually walked to Chelsea's cell, and as usual, she sat on the bench, deep in thought.She was yet to hear from Melissa, and the clock was ticking down. Sleeping with an old man was not supposed to take a full day."Hello?" Rex waved.She looked up, her skin crawling with rage."I just came to inform you that Melissa was crying," he smiled.Chelsea jumped up from her bench."What the fuck did you do to her? I swear I will kill you!" she yelled, grabbing on the metal bars."Calm down, calm down; I will show you," Rex said, getting out his phone.He searched for the video, stood away from the bars, and played it for her."I would have brought a big plasma TV for you to watch, but the captain would think I was overstretching," Rex mocked.Chelsea fixed her eyes on the screen. At first, she did not recognize the people, but with one hard look, she recognized the judge, and when the girl turned, it was Melissa.Her eyes took on a haunted look as she looked up at Rex, whose eyes were g
Do not judge me as if we are not at war!" Chelsea yelled at him. "Get your sorry ass off the floor and do what I ordered you to do!"Miguel's eyes darted around, trying to make sure no police officer was hearing them.He quickly got off the floor, leaned forward, and whispered, "Keep it down, you can't be talking about poisoning someone while you are in police custody," he warned her.Chelsea leaned forward, "I do not give a fuck; just go and kill that bastard!" she whispered. "Do not fail me this time!" she warned."But Chelsea..." he tried to protest.Chelsea pushed her hands in between the bars and grabbed him by the collar again. "Put it in his drink or, better yet, their food, so that the two idiots die together!" she ordered.Miguel stared at her, his eyes wide open."It's time for you to man up. Think about all the things I have done for you. The sacrifices that I have made for you?" She emphasized the last part."Hey, get your hands off of him!" the captain ordered as he walke
Timo quickly got up, "What's wrong with you, dude?" he glanced at Miguel, pissed. He was very hungry, and the food tasted very good."Spit it out! Spit out the food!" Miguel grabbed him by the mouth and tried to force the food out of his friend's mouth."Hey, what's wrong?" Rex asked, but Miguel kept pressing on his friend's mouth, his trembling hands trying to push the food out."Dude, get your hands off of me!" Timo pushed him off."You have to spit out the food, there is poison!" Miguel yelled.Timo froze, his eyes raised to meet Rex's."No, no, he is lying, he is probably on drugs," Rex replied.Timo coughed, and blood came out of his mouth as his eyes widened.He could feel his stomach twisting up, forcing him to drop to the floor."Timo! You killed him!" Miguel yelled at Rex."What do you mean? What are you talking about? Who poisoned who?" Rex kept up the act.Selena, who was at the door, began searching for a phone; "We have to call for an ambulance!" she yelled."Not until Mi
Selena grabbed Rex by the hand and pulled him away to the living room."What the fuck are you doing?" Selena yelled at him."Turning my enemy's brother into my lap dog," Rex replied. "It is going to be fun.""Do you have a stupid death wish?" Selena yelled at him. "This was your perfect chance to get rid of that dimwit!""Stick to your job description," Rex warned her and walked back to the kitchen where Miguel was about to make a run for "I would love a steak, medium rare please," Rex ordered as he took a seat.Miguel stared at him, hoping the man was joking, but Rex was serious.He pointed to the stove, then pointed to his phone, warning him of the recorded audio.Miguel was left with no option but to cook and clean up, thinking it was only a one-time thing. However, this went on for two entire weeks. Miguel was turned into a house boy doing all the household chores while Chelsea stayed locked up without bail or any visits.Melissa, on the other hand, locked herself up in her roo
Chelsea was left standing behind the door, breathing heavily, her chest on the verge of exploding.Rex's name kept ringing in her head like a buzzing bee.She held the doorknob but paused. Even though two weeks had already passed since the sex scandal, Melissa was acting like a child.A lot of people had their sex tapes all over the internet and they were still living their lives and not hiding under a rock.The judge was the one who lost everything, his status in society and his job, while Melissa lost nothing. People had already moved on from the sex tape but she did not.Irritated, she instead walked to her bedroom and banged the door behind her.She needed to reset and think, and most importantly, she needed a bath. The water at the correctional facility she was taken to was filthy.She took off her clothes and went to take a shower. The water was very relaxing and soothing against her skin and it allowed her to think.For two fucking weeks, she was locked up without a bail hearin
"I thought you were not going to make it," Rex said, pulling away."Where there is money, I always come running," Ryan joked, sending Rex into laughter.They both turned and found Chelsea struck numb in the doorway, her face gray and drained of color."I thought you said she was in prison?" Ryan asked."Oh, she was released today. Should we move the date for the meeting?" Rex asked.Ryan gave Chelsea one long glare. "No, I have lost a lot of money because of that bitch," he replied. "Imagine she made me pay for her stupid family to join us on our honeymoon, which we never went to," he added loud enough for Chelsea to hear.Chelsea felt her knees weaken, her eyes fixed on Rex, who had a big smirk on his face.It was evident the idiot planned it all. He knew she was getting released, so he invited Ryan to mock and disrespect her.Miguel, who had also recognized the car, came running to his sister's aid and held her."Do not let them see your weakness," he whispered to her. "Do not let
"Get the car! She is having trouble breathing!" Melissa yelled at Miguel.Miguel got up and ran outside to get a car to the front. He got in and started the engine, but there was no fuel in the car. He had completely forgotten that all three cars they were left with had no fuel."Fuck!" he cursed and got out of the car.He could spot two of Rex's cars and Ryan's in front of the house.He ran back into the house and found Chelsea still having trouble breathing."Did you bring the car?" Melissa asked."All three cars do not have fuel," he replied and ran to the office and began knocking and twisting the doorknob."Rex! Rex! Rex!" he kept yelling.Inside the office, Rex could see the doorknob moving, forcing him to turn his phone to the surveillance.He could see Miguel knocking at the door as if possessed while Chelsea was on the floor gasping and holding her chest.He twisted his mouth and raised his eyebrows."Is there a problem?" Ryan asked."Nothing, let's get down to business," Rex
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
