Five 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. They mostly gave him missions outside the country, which enabled him to build connections and make deals that he was making money on and putting into offshore accounts.
Five years of saving and not touching money but investing and trusting the right people to invest the money, of which the profits were saved in offshore accounts,
None of his businesses had his name or traces of him. So no one knew about it.
He also excelled in medicine and was a computer genius. He took every skill as important as the next in order to survive.
Finally, he stood in the Director's office, back in his country, ready to retire. His five years were up. He had served the time and paid his dues
The Director walked in.
"I thought you were going to extend your contract." The director joked, but Rex did not find the joke funny. He glared at the old man with a straight face.
"Come on, lighten up."
Rex moved closer to the desk, not in the mood to discuss anything but his retirement and identity.
"What of a promotion? The NSA still needs you," the Director insisted.
"Is my death cleared?" Rex asked, his voice coarse.
"I miss the scared pee-smelling Rex I met five years ago," the Director joked again.
"I have somewhere important to be, can we hurry up?" Rex said.
He was not in the mood to chitchat.
The Director opened his drawer with a fake smile and removed a file.
"Here is your old identity, clean, with no record of the conviction," he said.
Rex grabbed it and began scanning it.
"What are you doing?" The Director asked.
"I'm sending the scans to my lawyer in case of any hidden clauses or added papers," Rex replied with a smile.
The Director chuckled and removed the file for his retirement.
"Any time you feel like coming back, the door is open," the director said, placing the file on the table.
Rex quickly grabbed the file and scanned it, sending it to his lawyer too.
"Once my lawyer confirms everything, I will send you the signed copies," Rex said, packing up everything and walking out of the room.
He had a family to reunite with, and he could not wait to see his father, his brother, and his little sister Sydney.
He got in his car and drove straight to the airport, and within hours he was in front of his house.
The excitement of seeing his family after five years was overwhelming. He paused in his car, wondering how they were going to react. Five years was a lot of years and not only did he disappear but was declared dead.
He closed his eyes, pulled himself together and walked out of the car.
The door to the house opened, and an unrecognized man walked out. He paused in his steps, a little confused.
The man noticed him and asked who he was.
"Is Sydney Grayson inside the house?" He asked.
"No one by that name lives in my house," the man replied.
Rex darted his eyes around in confusion.
"What do you mean your house? That's my father's house!" Rex was almost yelling.
The man backed away. "This is my house; I bought it two years ago."
"What? From who?" Rex moved back a bit.
"The previous family, of course, you should now leave before I call the police," the man warned.
Rex rubbed his temple "No… no…, my apologies, do you know where?"
"None of my business, get out of here!" the man was now yelling.
Irritated Rex walked back to his car. He remembered that he was now free to search for his family. He dialed a number, and within minutes, he was sent an address in the suburbs.
He quickly drove there and found dilapidated buildings not fit for human occupation.
His heart stopped for a few seconds, he could not believe his family was living in such a place. There had to be a mistake, his hacker must have made a mistake.
He went straight for the door on the verge of tearing it down as he knocked.
He was not sure who was going to answer, but when the door opened, his baby sister opened the door.
Her puffy eyes were lost in deep thoughts.
"Sydney, it's me… it's me, Rex, your brother?" he said.
Sydney gazed at him without saying a word.

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

"Hurry up, we are going to be late," she said.Chelsea screamed in excitement and ran to the bathroom. She washed up, and within an hour, she was in a couture million-dollar wedding dress, admiring her figure, long dark curled hair, and flawless skin.She could not wait to be in all the leading top magazines in the country.Her enemies were going to die of envy, especially her stepmother, whom she had invited for the purpose of choking her with envy."The car is ready," Melissa said.She smiled and was led to the car. She paused at the door, taking in the moment "Five years ago, I nearly married a pea

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

She wanted something strong for her nerves.She got into the store and picked the strongest whisky.She headed to the counter to pay and handed her card to the cashier.The cashier stared at her as she swiped the card.She looked dirty and miserable in the wedding dress."What the fuck are you staring at?"

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!

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.

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.

“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.

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
