2024-10-29 19:42:56Rex stared at her; no one said anything to him about any safe words. However, his shaking and sweating stopped instantly as he gazed back at her cold gaze.
The two stared at each other for what seemed like forever.
Like some sick joke, the girl smiled and handed him her briefcase, taking his.
Rex let out a loud sigh, and the shaking and sweating resumed. He was not sure what had just happened.
The door of the restaurant opened, and the Director walked in, his face beaming with a smile.
"Congratulations, Mr. Grayson, and welcome to the team," he said.
"Safeword… She asked for a fucking safe word," he kept mumbling.
"Yes, and your safe word was not to say a word," the Director reminded him.
Rex stared at him back and forth; he remembered the warning not to say anything to the woman, but no one told him it was the safe word.
"What... would have happened if… I had said something?" He asked.
"She would have known you were fake and shot you," the Director smiled.
Rex gasped in horror, the man was not joking.
"Stand up, we have a lot of training to do," he said.
Rex got up. "What do you mean, am I not supposed to go home?" he asked.
The director turned and asked if he had read the contract thoroughly.
"What…did I miss… something?" Rex whispered.
"For the coming five years, you will live, breathe, and eat the NSA. As far as your family is concerned, you are dead, and they were shown Chad's body," the director explained.
Rex felt weakness in his legs, he had not cared to read much of the contract, but he remembered no part of him being declared dead.
"No, no, wait, the contract," he tried to protest.
The Director handed him the contract, which now had two pages.
"Wait a minute… There was only one page," Rex protested.
"Are you sure?" the Director asked.
"Yes, very sure! Do you think I am stupid? How could you tell my family that I was dead?"
The director looked away, "It's not too late; we can call them and tell them there was a mix-up, and you can go back to rotting in jail," the Director explained.
Rex gasped
"Or you can follow me, build a career, and get back to your family," he added.
"What?"
"After five years, your contract will be over, and you can choose to go back to your family, which I explained."
Rex chuckled
"How? Are you stupid? You just declared me dead?"
"We're NSA and can raise you from the dead," he smiled.
"But my family won't see me for five years?" Rex was on the verge of punching the Director.
"You didn't think about that when you took the fall for your stupid brother-in-law, didn't you?" the director asked.
Rex was taken aback
The Director handed him a tablet and said, "Your sister went asking Chelsea for money to hold your funeral but was asked not to call and her line was blocked," the director played him a video.
"She is currently outside Chelsea's house, and Miguel chased her away, calling her a sister of the murderer," he added.
Rex furiously played the audio recording over and over again, trying to suppress his emotions. The people he sacrificed everything for turned their backs on him.
"There are two options here: go back to jail and hear the tales of how you were betrayed day in and day out with swollen buttocks, or follow me and build connections, make money, and have the power to deal with your girlfriend later."
Rex looked up at him, on the verge of crying but tried his best to hold it all in.
"My family needs me!" he yelled.
"Not when you will go behind bars; remember what we did was illegal, and should the FBI find you alive, you are on your own," he added.
"What…you?"
"Just follow me and give yourself a fighting chance. Your sister and brother will be okay," the Director assured, giving him five minutes to join him in the car outside or sit back in the seat and wait for another car to go and take him straight to jail.
Rex sat back in his chair, lost, as he played the recording of Chelsea yelling at his sister again.
The very woman he sacrificed his life for did not care that he was dead.
He chuckled, realizing how stupid he was. Anger swelled inside of him. She was probably never going to visit him if he went to jail. She was going to marry another man and move on as he kept rotting in prison.
Without a second thought, he got up. Crying over spilt milk was not going to take away the five years he got.
But using the five years to build and transform himself into someone powerful was going to sieve out the sand from the spilt milk.
He had nothing to lose; after all, he was too ashamed to face his family for the stupid sacrifice he made.

5 Years LaterFive years passed, but for Rex, it felt like an eternity, though the wounds of betrayal were still fresh, leaking of maggots.The rules at the NSA were strict; he was never to contact his family or Chelsea. He was not allowed to look them up or spy on them. If he was caught doing any of the above, he was going to be sent back to prison.It was never easy, but he pulled through it all, and after five years, he became one of the top NSA agents. He excelled in almost anything: martial arts, guns, spying, and most importantly, being rich.He managed to amass wealth that not even the NSA was aware of.

Whatever you are selling, I am not buying," Sydney finally spoke, trying to shut the door in his face, but Rex quickly grabbed the door."Sydney, it's me, your brother Rex. I am alive!" Rex stated. Sydney raised her eyes, finally looking at the man, and noticed he looked just like her late brother, though he appeared well-kept, rich, or perhaps more classy.Her dead brother, who they said was attacked on his first day in prison and died.She gasped, taking one step back.Five years ago, she was shown his beaten-up body. They all saw his body, and because they could not afford a coffin, they had to cremate him, and his ashes were in the living room.Without a second thought, she ran inside, screaming. Either her mind was playing a trick on her, or someone hired the man in front of her to play a sick game on her."Sydney, wait!" Rex ran after her.Sydney ran straight for her phone, but she could not find it. Her father, who was sleeping on the couch, awoke from the screaming and asked

Breathing heavily, Sydney slammed the door behind her, the sound echoing through the house. She desperately wished that he was a fraud, an impostor, and not her real brother.There was no way her compassionate brother, who always prioritized others over himself, would accept such a ridiculous offer from the government and abandon his family."He wouldn't do that," she kept telling herself as she threw herself onto the bed and began sobbing.Meanwhile, in the living room, Rex proceeded to tell his father about the deal he had made with the government. His father remained silent, his eyes fixed on the floor.Rex grabbed his father's hand and started begging, tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry, father. If I had known, I never would have taken that stupid test," he cried out.His father's eyes rose in a way that revealed the hidden sadness he was trying to conceal. "The good news is that you're back," the old man whispered. "That's what matters."In another room, Sydney went on

Rex slowly began reading the lawsuits that Chelsea filed against the government for what was referred to as negligence in his death. There were various articles on different websites. His mind was digesting the reality that not only was his sacrifice to accept the blame for the crime in vain, but Chelsea went on to profit from his fake death, and his family did not receive a penny.He sat on the couch worn out, without making any movement. The breakfast he had planned to prepare for his father sat in the kitchen drying up.He felt his stomach turn and all the stomach contents came hurling up making it difficult for him to hold it in.He got up and ran to the bathroom and vomited his guts out.Sydney walked back into the room at the sound of the vomiting. She looked in her father's direction."This is as hard for him as it is for us," her father said."But…" Sydney tried to protest, but her father interrupted her."Our prayers have been answered, I don't care if it's the devil that an

Rex was taken into a private room, giving him time to calm down. But the entire time he was in there, all he could think of was how dedicated he had been to the NSA while his family was wallowing in poverty and humiliating conditions.He clenched his fist, breathing heavily. He had wasted five years all for nothing. The Director betrayed him; the stupid fool was at the top of the list next to Chelsea."Chelsea! Director Peter Banks! Chelsea! Director Peter Banks!" Rex kept repeating to himself.The door opened, and one of the agents walked in. He cleared his throat and spoke."Due to your good record over the past five years, the Director has decided not to press any charges," he said.Rex looked away, showing no sign of being moved or grateful. The Director was nothing but a pig, a worthless piece of sh*t."Can I go?" he asked."Next time, you will not be this lucky," the Agent warned.Rex walked up to him, "Tell that to your boss," he warned.The Agent smiled, "Listen, you have bee

Chelsea slowly turned away and let out an audible swallow. She was supposed to be running or screaming, but for unknown reasons, she remained glued to her seat, soaking in her own sweat.The wedding dress was too thick, and the cooling system in the hall appeared to have malfunctioned.The other three, Selena, Melissa, and Miguel, had paused at the sound of Rex's voice, though their hearts were still racing.Rex looked up in Selena's direction and smiled."You died… You died five years ago," she whispered."No, Peter Banks faked my death and replaced me with a lookalike," Rex's voice echoed in Chelsea's ears.Chelsea slowly lifted her head to face Rex, who returned her shocked eyes with a cold icy glare sharp enough to pierce her heart."Do not tell me he was fucking you but never told you I was alive and working for him?" Rex mocked and moved away from her.Even though she was the main character in his wrath, he was saving her for later. At the moment, Selena was his main focus. The

Rex returned to his hotel and he immediately instructed the manager to enhance security measures. Chelsea was not the type to lock herself in her bedroom and cry. She was the type to fight and ensure his death this time.He headed straight to the top suite, and the moment he walked in, Sydney jumped on him in excitement. She and her father had been watching the entire reunion of Rex and the Jones family on the screen. Rex had made sure to install cameras in the wedding hall so that his family could witness the reunion up close."Why didn't you tell her about the hacked accounts?" Sydney asked as she released her grip on him."Patience, little sister," Rex replied, embracing her.Sydney was starting to warm up to him. She cleared her throat loudly, causing Rex to let go."Sorry, it has been long since I hugged you?" Rex moved away and joined his father, who, unlike Sydney, did not seem excited."Sometimes, we should leave vengeance to time," his father said."Time my ass!" Sydney yel

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
