Rose noticed the change in his face; she was right after all, it appeared that whatever was between Rex and her father was personal."I apologize if I am poking my nose where I am not supposed to, but there was a time when all my father could do was praise you," she explained. "My father is not the type to praise workers or talk about them, but with you it was different," she explained.Rex gave her a fake smile, "Last time you asked me why I was dating my stepmother-in-law and living under the same roof as my ex, right?" he asked out of the blue.Rose was caught off guard and tongue-tied."I want to hurt my ex because while I was working for your father, making him proud, he was sleeping with her," he spat out in a cold tone without care.Rose moved a step back, chuckling as if she was waiting for him to call everything a bluff."I did not want to reveal this, but since you are interested in my relationship with your father and we are being honest, I thought I should let you know," R
Rose slowly opened her heavy eyes, her head aching and it kept making a rumbling noise, irritating the life out of her.She had had a little too much to drink the previous night and hoped for the secret she had found out to disappear but all the memories were fresh.She had returned very late in the night and found her father asleep. She was not in any mood to face him.Her mother was returning in two days and the thought of facing her and keeping quiet was eating her.She regretted having followed Rex outside and bringing up her father and worse, being nosy.She got up, irritated, and walked to the kitchen. She wanted to drink something warm.The bell rang, forcing her to roll her eyes.She called on one of the workers, but no one was answering.The bell kept ringing, forcing her to go and open the door.To her surprise, there was no one, but when she looked down, she noticed four body bags on the doorstep and the sight of blood sent her screaming."Dad!" she let out a scream.The se
The two stared at each other, with Chelsea trying to contain every fiber of her being.Both Rex and Selena walked to the front door to welcome the guest and stumbled upon the gazing scene."Such wonderful memories," Rex joked."You sick bastard!" Chelsea yelled."Hey, what did I do?" Rex asked."Shut up, I am not talking to you," Chelsea replied and walked closer to where Peter Banks stood."You have no shame showing your face here!" she yelled at him.Peter looked away, not in any way interested in her."Did you invite me to this house for this nonsense?" Peter asked Rex."Of course not, please join us," Rex replied leading the way.Peter took a step forward but Chelsea quickly ran in front of him."You are not going to pretend as if I am not here!" she raised her voice."Chelsea, get out of my way before I make you," Peter replied in a serious tone."So now you are dining with the enemy while I am left to rot, you son of a bi***ch!" she was almost losing it. She could not believe th
The room fell silent with Chelsea's audible breathing engulfing the entire room. She felt like the oxygen in the room was too low for her.Peter Banks was trying to sell her to her enemy. The backstabbing old fool was going to get rid of her and bury the secret with her.She looked up at him and found his cold stare locked on Rex, his face red with fury and his hands visibly shaking."What's your defence?" Rex broke the silence. His question directed at Chelsea.Chelsea looked up at him, trying to understand the type of games he was playing.There in front of him was a gift from Peter. He had the opportunity to have her arrested and throw away the keys.After all, that was his mission, to have her locked up, but yet he passed the perfect opportunity.He definitely had some loose screws in his head.She cleared her throat and spoke, "What evidence do you have?" she asked."Peter Banks is the director of NSA so you do not have to worry about that," Rex smiled.Chelsea turned her head in
"I didn't want to bring this up, but losing that baby was the best for all parties involved," Peter replied, noticing her reaction.Chelsea slowly lifted her eyes horrified"Shut up! Nothing happened that night!" she screamed, holding her head that felt as if it was on the verge of bursting. She did not want to think about the incident at her bridal party because she knew she was better off not remembering."That baby was Ryan's! Ryan's!" she emphasized. "if I ever have you telling people that was your baby, I will kill you with my own hands!""Whatever makes you sleep at night," Peter replied.Silence stretched with Chelsea trying to gather her thoughts."What are we going to do about Rex?" she asked."If I keep using government resources, it will land me in his cage, so I have a better solution for you," he suggested. "Believe it or not, Rex has connections at NSA."Chelsea turned to face him, and finally, the idiot was talking about what she wanted to hear."Why don't you change s
Two days passed with no move from either party. Rex couldn't help but think they were waiting for him to make a move first.Peter Banks continued with his life and was seen at work mostly, while Chelsea kept to her room. She stopped going to work like she had started.Rex had not physically seen her, but every time he switched his surveillance to her room, she was on her laptop watching movies.The act was getting on his nerves and it was very irritating. He needed to know what they planned, but there was no way of finding out unless he made a move first.He closed his laptop and got up.He walked out of the room and headed to the kitchen for some refreshments. The two days were boring the life out of him.He walked into the kitchen and grabbed himself a soda.The kitchen door opened and Chelsea walked in wearing a see-through dress with only underwear inside.Rex, who was busy with his soda, let out a cough as the soda tried to go the wrong way."Hello," she said, grabbed herself a b
Chelsea got up excitedly and opened the door, behind it stood one of the guards with a beautiful long red dress in his hands."Mr. Grayson is waiting downstairs, so please hurry," he instructed.Chelsea grabbed the dress with a huge smile on her face.The dress meant, Rex had no evidence and was desperate. Peter Banks was right, the boy was fishing.She walked back into the room and went to take her shower. She was going to take her time and test Rex's patience.Rex sat downstairs waiting, looking at his watch, his brain running through all the possible scenarios that were going to happen at the party.Melissa walked into the house, her hair messy and clothes scruffy. She looked lost and hurt.Rex stared at her, caught off guard. He had not seen her for days but he had an idea where she had been.She quickly walked upstairs, avoiding eye contact.She ran straight into Chelsea's room."Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea!" she cried out.Chelsea walked out of the shower and went straight to her
Peter quickly grabbed his daughter's hand, trying to pull her away. The last thing he wanted was for her to cause a scene and ruin Chelsea's plan.He was impressed by how fast Chelsea had Rex already at the tip of her fingers. The woman was good; it did not even take a day."Dad, let go of me!" Rose yelled.Peter let go of her hand and apologized."The three of you are pathetic! Maybe one day you should do a threesome!" Rose gritted her teeth and stormed out of the hall."Rose!" Rex put his drink down and ran after her.Chelsea raised her eyebrow."Is your daughter into Rex?" she asked."No, she is not!" Peter replied. "She is disgusted by us"He turned with a smile and quickly changed the subject."That was fast, so you are going with my plan?" he asked."Tasting the hot waters, and you were right, he has no evidence and is desperate," she whispered.A satisfying smile crept into the corners of Peter's lips."One tick and he ticked," she smiled."Well done Chelsea, I do not know whet
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
