Everyone in the dining room dropped what they were doing and ran upstairs to Chelsea's room, bumping into Rex, who was wrapped in a towel and from taking a bath.He followed the trio into Chelsea's room, where she was now hyperventilating."What's going on? What happened?" Melisa helped her up and got her onto the bed.Rex stood in the doorway, a smirk evident on his face.Chelsea slowly raised her finger, pointing to the top where the safe was.Everyone in the room looked up and saw the empty safe."Where is the bag?" Miguel ran to it."Stolen...someone got in through the window," Chelsea replied as she raised her eyes and landed them at the door entrance where Rex stood.He was supposed to be her first suspect, but he appeared to have been taking a bath. But then she remembered the security guards."You took the money, didn't you? You ordered your stupid guards!" Selena quickly stepped forward. "The guards were with me in the kitchen. Ask Miguel and Melissa."Chelsea looked at them
Rex drove all the way to the airport and made sure to place the bag back in his suitcase as he walked to his jet.Once they were in the air, he opened the bag and saw hundred-dollar notes staring back at him.He was taken aback for a second, he was sure he had dried up all of Chelsea's money, and the two times he had her locked up was to make sure she flushed out all the money she had hidden.But the skank spent two weeks in prison even when she had money lying around somewhere.And from how she delayed calling the police, he could only conclude that it was illegal money.He began counting it; he had all the time in the world. His journey involved making circles in different countries to avoid being tracked.After an hour, he was done. Fifty thousand dollars stared back at him.He checked the bag again and found three fake passports with Chelsea's face but with different names.He stared at them, wondering if Chelsea was planning to run. The woman was not as tough as she wanted everyo
Rex woke up to a knock on his door, he looked at his watch."Rex, Rex," Sydney said excitedly. It was too early for his sister to be up."I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about what to buy with the money," she said and got on the bed."Sydney, it is 5 a.m.," Rex looked at his watch again."This can't wait. I want to buy a big fishing boat. I have always loved water," she said.Rex rubbed his eyes and sat up."When you're done with Chelsea and that old man; you, Dad, Lisa, and I will be going on a lot of fishing trips," she smiled."Ooh, that's a great idea," he smiled.He had trusted she was going to come up with a good idea on how to send the money and she did not disappoint."How far along are you with your revenge?" she asked.Rex was taken aback by her question."I mean, how many weeks or months are you going to spend taking them down?" she clarified.Rex scratched his head. He had a time frame, though Chelsea's resilience was not what he had factored into his p
On the other side, Chelsea woke up early, took a shower, and went over the land documents and signatures.Thanks to the access she had to Rex's office, she was able to obtain Rex's signature. It was different from his old signature from five years ago but very easy to duplicate.It only took her five attempts to forge it and place it on the documents, making the papers very legal.She left early in the morning before anyone was awake and was on her way to the train station.Even though she did not find cameras in the mansion, she was sure Rex had people following her. Watching her every move.The train arrived and she got on, making sure she sat by the doorway. The train trickery always worked when it came to hiding from her enemies or doing illegal business transactions.In minutes, her lawyer who was also on the train spotted her and joined her."Do you have both signatures?" he asked."Yes," she replied and handed him the papers."Once your account begins working, the money will be
Chelsea sat on the floor, mumbling things to herself, while the movers went back to their jobs.Rex cornered her, and there was nowhere she could run to. Not even to the authorities. She couldn't run to them, not when the sale of the land was illegal and she had forged the signatures.She let out a chuckle in disbelief. Every move she was making was ending up in disaster. It was like he was in her head and knew exactly what she was going to do."Miss, we have to lock the house," a voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She slowly looked up at him as reality hit her.Chelsea Jones was not the type to weep on the floor, but she was the type to be feared. So she tried to get up, but all the energy had been drained out of her.The movers quickly ran to her aid."Are you alright? Should we call an ambulance?""Get your filthy hands off of me!" she yelled.The movers moved away, apologising."We can't leave the house unlocked when the new owner is out of the country," one of them said.Chel
What did he say? What did he say?" Melissa asked.Chelsea remained in a state of immobility, finally piecing together how Rex was always ahead of her.It was the phones, he was listening in to all their calls.Melissa grabbed her by the shoulders and began shaking her," Chelsea, talk to me, what did he say!" "We have to destroy all the phones, we have to destroy everything!" Chelsea snapped out of it and began smashing all her phones to the ground."Chelsea, what's going on?" Melissa was now yelling. "Please tell me what you are doing.""Rex has our phones tapped, destroy your phone!" Chelsea yelled at her. "He has been listening in on our conversations!""What?" Melissa stared at her phone. However, they were not financially stable enough to destroy phones and buy new ones."What are you waiting for!" Chelsea yelled at her."Chelsea, where are we going to get new phones?" Melissa asked. "I doubt with the scandals and your absenteeism, the company is making any money."Irritated, C
Rex remained rooted to his spot, his face turning peach red, veins pulsating with pent-up fury as he clenched his fists.It seemed she was not going to confess easily. She showed no remorse, even when she had been granted freedom because of his mercy. She dared to put it in his face and mention his brother's name for the second time now.Melissa, who was still standing in the corner of the garden, slowly tiptoed away and ran into the house. The last thing she wanted was to be at the end of Rex's anger.Rex turned and stared at the smashed phones lying on the ground.He looked at his own phone; there was a message from the watchers."Her last call was to Peter Banks," the message read and he could only conclude that Peter had something to do with the smashed phones."There you are," Selena screamed in excitement, her hands full of shopping bags."I have bought everything that you asked me to do," she said.Rex gave her a fake smile and asked, "And did you invite all of the rich Jones'
Selena's bodyguards quickly ran in front of Selena, bringing Chelsea to a complete halt."Get out of my way! Get out before I break your heads!" she yelled.Both Melissa and Miguel heard the voices and came running.Miguel recognized the dress at first glance, freezing on the spot."How dare you disrespect my mother! And spit on her grave!" Chelsea tried to push her way through the guards but they were too strong for her.The guests watched while some got out their phones and began recording. The city's rich people loved the drama that came with the parties.Chelsea was the type that always carried herself as if she was above others so seeing her in such a state was entertaining.Rex stood as far away as he could but had a great view while he sipped on his wine."I was given this dress, stop acting as if I went and stole it," Selena spoke up."Who gifted you the dress? You lying gold digger!" Chelsea screamed."My boyfriend, of course. Who do you think?" Selena smiled.Chelsea slowly
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
