Vindictive Dr Rhys 46. Let The Game Begin.
"Are you sure you don't need me to assign guards to wander around? I'll--" Lex tries to reason but Rhys beats him to it."No. I can't risk him getting any clue. You know how sensitive his security unit is, one wrong move and we're caught" Rhys blurts making much more sense.Lex's lips part to say against what Rhys had just said but his words are being halted by Rhys who lifts his hand to the air dismissively."No. Drop it. I've already made up my mind, also if anything comes up, you'll be able to know."Lex breaths out in defeat before nodding, "If anything were to happen to you, your mother would have my head for dinner"Rhys chuckled, "You'll disappear before she could even reach out to you, we both know that"Lex nods letting out a laugh, "But I will never rest, she'll be my worst nightmare"The Duo laughed which soon came to a halt when Ron stepped in."Am I missing something?" He questions his left brow lifting inquisitively."Nope, nothing you should worry about," Lex responds r
Vindictive Dr Rhys 47. The One.
"Name?" The secretary asked, roaming his stare around Rhys. "Rhys Mickelson" he answers after a momentarily pause fighting back the urge to send him a glare.He nods, typing the name on the computer to see if Rhys is telling the truth about having a meeting with Giovanni. "Not to burst your bubble, but Mr De Luca would never hire an incompetent employer" the man speaks with a smirk lingering on his lips Rhys lips remained on a thin line choosing to remain mute so as not to create a scene. He won't let whoever this guy is disrupt his mood or rather plans."Take a seat, Mr De Luca will see you when he sends for you" the man states with pure irritation.Rhys nods before taking one of the seats at the reception. "Do you think your meeting with him would be in his company?" Lex asked through the earpiece.Rhys shrugs his stare glued to the receptionist as he responds to Lex, "I don't know but we can tell really, it may be or not" "Well wherever Giovanni is, it's getting late. It's alm
Vindictive Dr Rhys 48. Ashley Freeman.
Rhys paused at the entrance of Ashley's apartment letting out a breath as their conversation with Giovanni came rambling down his head. He knew signing the contract he offered him was a bit too quick but he needed to give Giovanni the impression that his desire was urgent.Anything for wealth and fame he should be counted in and won't think twice about doing anything. Giovanni promised to send him the email that would contain the do-s and don't of the alliance. He snapped out of these thoughts with a call that came through his phone.He slips his phone out from the pocket of his slacks, his eyes falling on the caller ID. Ron."Are you freaking insane? Why the fuck would you take such a decision without our concerns?" Ron thundered just as he picked up the call. Rhys shakes his head pulling the phone off his ear for a second until Ron leveled his tune down."How about we discuss this tomorrow?" Rhys breathes out rubbing on his temples. He needed to make them understand and by no c
Vindictive Dr Rhys 49. Decision Making.
The morning sunlight bathed her face urging a growl to escape from her lips. She pulled the sheets over her head with an annoying hiss. The sharp pain in her head has her squinting her eyes even more. The smell of the sheets has her thoughts halting for a second, she doesn't remember her duvet having a manly smell. Her eyes suddenly sprinted a fraction as she bolted up causing her head to ache more. "Shit!" She cried out holding on her forehead. Her eyes parted roaming her stare around to be sure that she wasn't in her room.Memories of how she had gotten drunk after the text message her uncle had sent her came rushing down her mind causing her mood to suddenly screw. These past few days the man has been on a Mission to make her life a living hell. Overloading her with work only to have her get done and he rejects them. He's on a mission to take every ounce of happiness in her life, he has consumed all her property and is using her best friend to threaten her. She's trapped in
Vindictive Dr Rhys 50. Wealth and Power.
"Going after my niece wasn't a smart move" Alec mumbled to Rhys as they stood by the corner. Today is Natalie and Alec's wedding. It took a lot of convincing for Rhys to agree to attend. He needed to though, it's not like he has a choice.Not when he's under their mercy."I'll make sure I ruin every bit of you. Everything that serves as a source of your happiness, I'll be sure to burn it down and by the time I'm done, you'll regret ever messing with me." Alec adds.Rhys smirked, "I would then like to see you try. I'm happy for you. She chooses you after all. I loved Natalie, the only reason I signed the divorce papers was because she didn't want me. If you love someone or something, then you should be willing to make sacrifices no matter how much they're going to cost. I love her and she loves you, I'll let you have her cause---"Alec cuts him off, "I'm not here for you to lecture me but you should know my niece will never be able to give you what you're after, she's not different fr
Vindictive Dr Rhys 51. The Grand Master.
"When do you leave?" Ron asks just as Rhys walks into the underground hideout. Rhys shrugs, taking a seat and drawing his laptop, his forehead drawing down as though he is tense. He impatiently taps on the table waiting for the laptop to load.Rhys just received a call from Esmeralda Freeman notifying him that she has dropped some important files about her husband's affairs through Rhys's email. He has been anticipating them for some time now.Rhys had already booked an appointment with Giovanni and didn't want to miss it. He wanted Giovanni to know how serious he was about it and that's why."He got the files" Lex announced walking in shortly after Rhys had walked in. "He received the files from Esmeralda a while ago. I managed to access them before he did---" Lex explains."And hence the attitude?" Ron chuckled.Lex nods with a laugh, "I'm the tech guy remember?, I have access to every information I get my hands on. I manage to decipher some things here and there and there that wo
Vindictive Dr Rhys 52. Finding Comfort.
Ashley swirled on the office chair, her mind elsewhere with her fingertips grazing around the keyboard. Her eyes sting with worry and fear. She's been anxious for the past few days, since the threat her uncle has laid but is trying so hard to mask it away so as not to give Rhys or Layla any impression.She couldn't risk their lives. Her thoughts come to a halt when the door slips open revealing Layla who looks as drained as a power source. She threw herself up o the office couch heaving out a deep breath, "Fuck! I am so exhausted." She whines with a sense of annoyance. Ashley lets out a chuckle blinking her thoughts away before getting up and settling down next to her best friend. "You lazy ass," Ashley says, smacking her on her feet.Layla whined, "What's your problem? Come in! This isn't fair" like a seven-year-old would.Trust Layla when it comes to acting childishly. "What's up?" Ashley asked with concern in her tune. "you usually aren't like this" Layla got up and set up b
Vindictive Dr Rhys 53. Threatened.
Rhys assembled his thoughts stepping out of the Uber that has just dropped him off in front of the De Luca company.He lets out a breath he didn’t he was holding fixing on his glasses before proceeding to make his way into the building.His steps where calm and precise his gaze fixated to the ground so as not to gain any of the weird looks he gets when he walks in with such appearance.“I’m into the system now” Lex announces.Rhys hums I’m response walking into the private elevator. He turned and pressed on the key instantly that would take him up just in time the security guard rushed to him to stop him but the doors coming together.Rhys chuckled.“The trouble you put this guard into” lex says through the ear piece.Rhys shrugs, “Is Giovanni in his office” He asks changing the topic.“Wait a second” Lex excuses typing on his keys.“Shit!” Lex says after a momentary silence.“Whats up?” Rhys questions his brows furrowing inquisitively. “Your father in law is in the office and the d

His heart dropped as he sighted her figure at the distinct end of the room.

It bothers him big time knowing Ashley had to go through it alone.He had a choice either to save her or the mission and once again he chose the mission.

76. Coma.
Rhys walked out of the building with Alec tailing behind. Before Rhys could register what was going on, Alec had pinned him to the ground launching punches on him.“You dare lay your hands on my wife” he punched on Rhys.“How dare you place a finger on her?!” Punch.He had already gathered a scene just as he wanted. Rhys had to struggle with his inner thoughts, one side of him telling him to retaliate and the other urging him to keep calm and not endanger his wife.It was hard to choose which to go with the embarrassment Alec was causing him.“What’s going on here!?” A third party arrives with his guards standing at the back of him.Rhys lifted his gaze meeting with Giovanni’s just then Ashley walked out of the building but soon her steps came to a halt when she met eyes with Giovanni.“Clear the path” Giovanni orders the guards to which they adhered.Soon it was only, Ashley, Giovanni, Alec, and Rhys in the scene.Rhys stole a glance at his wife who looked like she’d pass out any mo

75. Natalie.
Rhys walked into the boardroom oozing confidence and power. His jawline hardens to be sharp, sharp enough to slice through any obstacles that come his way.His breath hitched as he walked meeting with his wife in converse with Damien. One of the perverts in the Freeman Corp.He burned his stare making his presence known to her. Just as their eye clicked he didn’t miss the way she moved uncomfortably.“You’re late” Alec spat sending daggers at Rhys that seemed to be unhinged.Rhys had almost forgotten about the role he was to play before his true identity was revealed. He didn’t care at the moment, what irked him was the fact that his wife was seared a few steps away conversing with Damien while he rubbed her shoulder.His hands fisted, “Sorry” he mumbled taking a seat with his eyes still glued to his wife.Ashley moved away from Damien making Rhys smirk before he turned his stare away, letting the poor girl breathe.Soon enough the meeting began.Rhys knew the meeting had everything t

74. Anger, hurt And Disappointment
Rhys walked out of the car with Ashley by his side walking their way to the entrance of the house.He wasn’t only introducing her to his parents but rather a way of telling them he has agreed with their decision even though he knows deep down his siblings would be the last person to agree to the fact that Rhys accepted defeat.The door swings open revealing one of the maids.“Good Morning Master” she greets sharing a look with Ashley.He didn’t miss the way the duo had smiled at each other causing his left brow to arch up. He didn’t need to be told that the two had formed a relationship with the days Ashley had spent in the villa.He placed his hands on Ashley’s lower back ushering her inside the house and caught into their staring contest moment.“Let’s go” he ushers.He led them to the dining table where he’s sure by now they must be having breakfast. Their presence has the air suddenly filled up the place seizing Mickelson’s attention.Rhys's eyes dropped on his mother who has her

73. Be Your Worst Nightmare.
Ashley watched as he walked away unsure of how she was feeling at the moment. Seeing a different shade of Rhys kept her on the edge these days.It’s like he’s a different person. Deep down she knew that right from the start Rhy had more to what she thought of him even though she couldn’t point it out.Rhys Mickelson.Her husband, or rather disguised billionaire into a riffraff. There is more to Rhys that she’s yet to see, she’d be lying if she says she says she wasn’t afraid deep down but the comfort Rhys had been rendering makes her feel insecurely safe.The sincerity in his tune when he said he’d protect her and make sure her uncle and Giovanni would stay a length away from her has her doubt cleared out now that she knows what sort of a person he is.Maybe not know him completely but she has a hint.He’s a Mickelson after all. Their power and dominance are enough to wipe their enemies out of existence with a snap of a finger and with no trails left behind.She huffed out a sigh gett

72. Acceptance.
“Where is she?” Ron grumbled through the phone as Rhys placed the fry that threatened to slip from the plate he had assembled Ashley’s breakfast.Heaving out a sigh Rhys held onto the phone on his right ear. “With me, is there a problem with that?” he asked knowing very well who Ron was talking about.“Mum thinks she’s unsafe with you. You better not try—“ Before Ron could complete his statement Rhys cut off the call discarding it to the side.Rhys paused for a second placing both hands on the counter as he let out deep breaths of frustration and annoyance.He’d be lying if he said it didn’t bother him but how his relationship with his mother is going? It’s like she has completely diverted away from him and turned him into an outsider.She has no ounce of respect or faith in him which makes his heart squeeze in displeasure. He knew it was going to take a lot more than fixing Ashley’s life to patch up their relationship but nothing he wasn’t willing to try to get her back to to his si

71. Speak.
Rhys stared as she forcefully took spoons of the food with her limbs shivering here and there while she stole glances at him.He probably shouldn’t be making her much more panicked and as uncomfortable as she is but he couldn’t help but stare at her.She is a freaking goddess in all shades of her, beautiful yet poisonous to him. Ashley is a forbidden fruit that he needs to abstain from before she fully becomes part of his life. He feared he would pull her into his already messed-up life.How on earth does his parent expect him to live with her for the rest of his life without breaking the boundaries? As it is, he has tried crossing limits here and there but he always backs out before it’s too late.He moved his eyes around her shuddering lips gulping down as he tried to keep himself calm until he could no longer contain it, he leaned up grabbing a hold of her left cheek before claiming her lips. Rhys groans nibbling on her lower lips till she eventually gives in and grants him access
