Rex slowly turned, analyzing her from head to toe. There was a hint of desperation in her. He could smell it."We are sorry, can we just come to an understanding?" Melissa added."Did Chelsea send you?" Rex asked."No, can we talk privately?" Melissa requested."Last time we talked privately, it did not result in anything " "Yes, it did. You ignored my warning which came to pass," Melissa reminded him. "I remember saying someone was going to die, and you almost died while Chelsea lost her baby."Rex bit his lip. She was right, but he had prepared for all possible outcomes of his revenge, and death was one of them if he became too careless and big-headed."Convince Chelsea to confess and sell me both the house and the company, and we will call it a truce," he declared.Melissa looked away. What he was asking for was next to impossible. Chelsea would choose death over handing him what was left of the Jones' legacy."You are asking for too much, you know Chelsea," she replied."Then we
Chelsea stood at the door, her eyes fixed on Rex. Not once did she give her brother, who just sneered and brushed past her, a glance.Miguel's childish stupidity was the least of her problems. He was always childish since he popped out of their mother, a quality of him that she tolerated."Chelsea, you have been discharged," Melissa ran to her aid. "How did they discharge you so fast? Are you okay?"Chelsea ignored her and walked into the house."Chelsea, how are you feeling?" Rex asked, trying not to sound too mocking but failed.He just couldn't help the pure hate he had for the woman. He hated her with every fibre of his being, so he was not going to show fake remorse, especially since he did not directly cause the miscarriage.Chelsea ignored him and looked up at Selena, who was still standing on the stairs."Aren't you supposed to stay more days in the hospital for observation?" Selena asked, trying to avert Chelsea's cold glare.Chelsea ignored her too.Selena quickly walked bac
The two glared at each other as if they were on the verge of bouncing on each other and cutting each other's throats.Rex looked away and walked to the door, opening it.Rosy who was on the other side trying to eavesdrop quickly turned away"You are definitely Nosy Rosy," Rex mocked.She tucked her hair behind her ears, a little embarrassed. She gave him a fake smile and walked inside the office.Peter quickly put on a fake smile and got up."Rose, what are you doing here?" Rose turned and looked in Rex's direction. "I was actually in the same elevator with Rex and informed him I was on my way here, but he shut the door in my face," she said, taking a seat.Rex smiled and sat next to her."Because you were being nosy, so why would a father and daughter be discussing my relationship status?" he asked, his eyes fixed on Peter."Rose wanted to find out if you had retired to go and live with your family, so I told the truth. Or is the relationship with the stepmom supposed to be a secret
Rex closed his laptop in defeat. Chelsea was supposed to be nursing her wounds and miscarriage, but there she was approving his projects without throwing a fit.A big red flag stared back at him, but he had no idea what the end game was, though it was satisfying watching her eat the cafeteria food. He had reduced her to a commoner.He drove back home deep in thought but still came up empty-handed.He got to his room and went straight for a shower. He usually did his thinking under the water. Chelsea was far from giving up; she was planning something, so he needed to be alert.He finished up with his bath and when he walked back into his room he found Selena waiting for him."Ooh, have you made your decision?" he asked."I need a rise and two more bodyguards," she requested.Rex raised his eyebrow. The woman was definitely a gold digger and was capable of selling her soul to the devil for money.Selena walked up to him. "Do we have a deal?" she asked."I will triple it," he replied to
Morning came with Rex waking up to a quiet house. He went straight to his laptop and watched Chelsea slap the living daylights out of Melissa.He was right after all, the woman was not going to give up easily. He closed his laptop, took a shower, and walked out to the kitchen to have his breakfast."Good morning, sweetheart," Selena gave him a peck on the cheek."The food smells really good," Rex took a seat."Cooking your favorite," she smiled. She loved acting like the two were a couple.The two sat down and began eating.Melissa walked in, her eyes swollen and her cheek red.She glanced at their table but quickly looked away.She was so hungry and the aroma was killing her. She could not remember the last time she had a proper breakfast.Her stomach made a rattling sound, forcing Rex and Selena to look up."Good morning, Melissa," Selena waved.Melissa ignored her and opened the fridge to find it completely empty. Not even a bottle of water.She looked back at the table and found
The two ladies arrived at the company, and Chelsea excused herself to the bathroom. She walked in and went to her usual stall, opening it."Learn to knock!" a woman who was using the toilet yelled at her.Chelsea quickly walked out, closing the door without apologizing.She walked to the mirror and began pretending to wash her face and checking her makeup.The woman in the stall walked out breathing heavily and ready to give her a piece of her mind.However, when she noticed it was her boss, she began apologizing.Chelsea rolled her eyes and walked into the same stall. She lifted the cover on the cistern and removed a letter that was sealed in plastic.She quickly opened it and read it."Whether the target died or not, you need to pay first before I make another bomb!"Chelsea rolled her eyes, tore the paper into shreds, and threw it down the toilet.She got a plain paper and wrote, "I will pay double for the services. Be patient."She carefully placed the paper in the same plastic an
Chelsea tried by all means to pull away, but his grip was too tight for her. Her arms felt like they were being twisted back and forth by a grilling bar.The harder she tried to pull away, the tighter the grip felt. She looked up at him and found cold eyes staring back at her.It was as if he was reminding her of his previous warning."I said you are hurting me!" she yelled.Rex smiled and pushed her off.The alerted security guards quickly rushed to the scene."Throw her out of this shop!" the assistant pointed at Chelsea.Chelsea felt her heart sink to the back of her chest, her jaw hung in shock."Is your brain slow? Or are you just naturally stupid?" Chelsea lost it. "I have been a customer since I was a teen in this shop, but now you are going to throw me out like some piece of shit!"The two security personnel tried to grab her by the hands, but she pushed them off."If anyone touches me, I swear I will sue this useless shop to the ground!" she threatened.Rex chuckled, "You rea
Rex led the way into the bedroom with a victorious smirk on his face. He had given Selena the life that Chelsea was supposed to be living with Ryan.And from the puffed-up face, he could tell that reality had sunk into her useless brain."Did you see her face?" Selena laughed. "Rex, if you are not careful, you are going to give her a stroke."Rex burst into laughter, placing his tuxedo on the bed. "While I will be attending the fundraiser, you will be busy fitting in all the dresses I bought you so you won't even miss me," he said.Selena chuckled, "you evil genius," she laughed."I thought this was going to be a good gesture while I try to woo another woman," Rex walked up to her and held her by her shoulders.Selena gave him a faint smile"Thank you, I thought you bought me the entire store in order to get under Chelsea's skin."Rex smiled, "Not everything is about that bi**tch," he said and walked away."Come on, Rex, is that how you lie to yourself?""Okay, it was a plan to keep
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
