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
With a smile on her face, ready for a new chapter in her life, Chelsea woke up excited. It was her wedding day, and not just any wedding day, but a grand wedding day to the city's biggest tycoon, Rayan James.All the rich and famous were invited, she wanted them all to watch her leap to the top and become Mrs. Chelsea James.Her bedroom door opened, and Melissa, her cousin, walked in. "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
Chelsea walked out of the building and went straight to her car. She felt like screaming at the top of her lungs, but that was only going to drain the little energy she had left.The day that was supposed to be the most beautiful day of her life turned into a nightmare just like five years ago.It was as if she was cursed never to marry and in the curse, there was one common denominator, and that was Rex.The swine was in both of her disastrous weddings. He was the bad karma that she needed to get rid of with her bare hands.She hit her steering wheel hard as she drove to the nearest liquor store. 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?" Chelsea snapped at her.The cashier looked away and went on to process the payment.Ch
A new day came and Rex stood in front of his huge window, smiling. News of Chelsea's arrest had just reached him, and he could not help but smile."Please hold her for a few days, I will be right there," he ordered."Where are you going?" Sydney asked from behind.Rex slowly turned and found her dressed in a custom-made expensive Gucci dress."How do I look?" Sydney asked, spinning around."Wow, you look like a royalty," Rex replied."Thank you, thanks to Chelsea's money," Sydney replied. "I mean our money," she corrected herself.Rex smiled."I also need a car, but I do not know how to drive," Sydney said in a low tone."What? You never learned to drive?" Rex asked.Sydney looked away, uncomfortable. She never had the time or money to learn how to drive. How could she, when she was busy taking care of her vegetative niece and disabled father?Rex noticed her facial expression and realized how sensitive his question was."I will teach you how to drive," he offered."You will?"
