Chelsea sat back in her chair, waiting for her lawyer in excitement. She could not believe her luck.The FBI agents walked in and escorted her to their offices as they waited for the lawyer."Can I have a glass of water?" she requested. One of the officers got up and went to get her the water.In minutes the lawyer arrived and asked for his client to get up.He was a smart dressed middle aged man and had a no nonsense look."Your client is facing a lot of charges, charges," the officers responded and handed him the charge list.The lawyer tossed the paper away and opened his briefcase, removing a file."This is the form containing the victim's signature clearing this understanding," he said and handed the form to the officer.The officer read through the form and looked at his friend with raised eyebrows."What does it say?" Chelsea got up."It says, Kelvin asked you to transfer the money into his bank account but he forgot," the officer said and handed the form to Chelsea.Chelsea
Seated not far from the restaurant, in the opposite lane and trying hard to read their lips, was Rex.He had followed Chelsea to the restaurant the second his watchers informed him she was back at the mansion and had dinner plans with Kelvin.Reading lips was his speciality during his time in the NSA. As long as his target was visible and he had a direct view of the lips, there was no problem.From where he was seated, Kelvin was in his view as he read each and every word coming out of his mouth. The psycho was obsessed with Selena and wanted to take her away in exchange for Chelsea's freedom.He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. Chelsea was one desperate slut and was not to be underestimated, especially since her freedom was on the line.However, he was stuck on how to get rid of Kelvin, who was not in his plans but an obstacle in his way. The fool was delaying his revenge, which had a timeline.Chelsea was supposed to be on her knees begging for mercy, not in an expensive resta
Chelsea felt her lips go numb as she watched the intense kiss in front of her. It looked and sounded so real.The two were supposed to be faking it and not making out for real. It was all an act she tried to convince herself but could not move her lips.Kelvin, on the other hand, had his fingers clenched into fists, his veins on the side of his face ready to pop out as he tried to restrain himself from attacking Rex.Selena was his and he was the only one supposed to touch her.Chelsea could hear ragged breath behind her but she was too numb to move as she watched the couple on the bed passionately kiss each other.She was not supposed to be affected by the couple's stupidity but somehow she was.The guards came running into the room, apologizing."Sir, we were in the kitchen," one of them said.Selena finally paused with the kiss and looked behind.To her surprise, they had an audience."Don't you fools know how to knock?" she asked and asked everyone to leave the room.The guards qu
Kelvin quickly wiped the sweat off his face and got to work. He sent a text to the hackers and sent them all the details Chelsea gave him about Rex.In minutes they replied with an amount and a bank account.Without hesitation, Kelvin sent the money into the account and they assured him of hacking Rex in a matter of minutes."Now we have to wait," Kelvin said and ordered Chelsea to speed up her plan of luring Selena away from Rex and the bodyguards."You heard how she was responding in there, I need time," Chelsea replied."Time is what I don't have!" Kelvin yelled.Chelsea stared at him, "Hold on, what's the rush?" she asked."Do not ask me stupid questions or else I will call the FBI and retract that stupid fake confession!" he warned, wiping more sweat.His hands were visibly shaking and beginning to lose color while his eyes were red and a little sunken.He kept wiping the sweat with one of his hands while the other kept scratching at the back of his head.Something was wrong with
Chelsea felt the adrenaline rush to her heart as it started pumping very fast. Not that she was scared, but the kind of excitement that was mixed with danger.She was itching to yell the word "shoot," but she controlled herself.The guards came running."Everyone, do not make a move or else I will shoot!" Kelvin warned."Stay back!" Rex ordered.The guards stopped and began moving backwards."Kelvin, what the heck are you doing?" Selena yelled."Shut up! This is for your own good!" Kelvin yelled at her. "This man is not good for you, he is only using you and I am here to save you!" he yelled.Chelsea was almost jumping in excitement, but she wanted the psycho to shoot instead of talking.She tried to signal him, but his focus was on Selena. She was very aware, Rex was fast and keeping his eyes off the gun was going to turn the tables."Calm down… Okay fine, you're right… Let us talk about this in private," Selena began moving towards the door."No, stop!" Kelvin yelled at her. "You no
The two officers ignored Chelsea and asked Rex to join them outside and file the charges while the nurses began strapping up Kelvin.He was still conscious and kept calling on Selena's name to save him."Please, Selena…. Please I love you…please save me," he cried as he was taken away."Save me from these animals! Save me!"Selena could only look onEveryone's attention was on Kelvin's cry for help, giving Chelsea the opportunity to pick up the bullet and hide it in her hand."This is illegal, you can't take someone without a guardian's consent," she ran after them.She needed to blend in so no one would suspect her of having picked up the bullet.She ran downstairs, making sure to put the bullet in her bra."You can't do this! Stop!" she kept yelling.The two officers blocked her, "This man forged his way out of a mental institution and paid off doctors, so do not implicate yourself," they warned her."What?" Chelsea asked, shocked."The case is confidential but thanks to Mr Grayson
Selena felt a lump in her throat as her chest felt like it was clogged with water.Yes, she had fallen in love with him, and she was not embarrassed about it. Anyone in her shoes would have fallen in love with him, and what complicated things this time was that it was not about the money and her heart.She truly loved him and cared about his safety. She knew he was never going to be hers, but was it a crime to care? He was a damaged man who was betrayed for loving too much, so the possibility of him ever opening up to loving a woman was next to zero.Rex got back to his dressing and turned to the wardrobe."Am I going alone or are you going to remain wallowing in your love bubble?" he asked.Selena swallowed, "First, I take a shower," she replied to his surprise and walked to the bathroom.After some minutes, they were both done and walked out of the mansion holding hands.They bumped into Chelsea outside.She was still trying to think of her next move, but her head was a mess of end
Rex and Selena arrived at the mansion late in the evening and walked in.Rex did not seem eager about the meeting and never bothered to leave the dinner early. He had heard Chelsea in the background and Miguel only mentioning Melissa meant Chelsea was not part of whatever they wanted to say.He found the two waiting for him in the living room. They appeared desperate for the meeting and did not mind the time.Selena excused herself and went to sleep."We can go to my office," Rex suggested."No, here, anyone is free to hear what we have to say. We have nothing to hide," Miguel replied.Rex stared at the two, they looked sober and very serious.He took a seat, "So what is this about?" he asked.Miguel looked in Melissa's direction.She cleared her throat and spoke."I know I have apologized before and you said you wanted Chelsea to confess but Miguel and I…" she tried to speak but Rex interrupted her, knowing very well where the conversation was going."If I filed a murder case against
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
