Vindictive Dr Rhys 9. Dwelling In The Past.
He stirred on the bed with the sheets covered around his body. Every inch of his muscle felt numb and drained. A sharp pain hit his forehead, urging a growl out of his lips.Fucking hangover. He brought his right hand to his head and mumbled curses under his breath."Good morning, Master. What would you like for me to do for you today?" Curella questions her sound, piercing his ears.He hissed, putting the pillow on his face, with a feeble groan. "No." He mumbled, knowing that if he didn't reply, she'd go on with her questions, which would only irritate him further."Okay, but you should know that your sister is approaching," she says.His eyes instantly split open. "Whatever you do, do not give her access," he warns."Angela has access to my security panels."Rhys curses; of course she does. It's Angela, after all; she always finds her way in and out of his affairs or belongings.Rhys could tell one or two things why she's here: either mom sent her to check up on him orHis thoughts
Vindictive Dr Rhys 10. Family Dinner.
He clad himself in a sweatpants and hoodie taking one of his spotless watches that were arrayed at their respective positive. He was to have dinner with the family, if it was up to him, he'd rather stay locked up at his penthouse dwelling into his sorrows but he knew better than to go against his mother's invite, especially since it's family dinner, something he hasn't shared with them for a while. Rhys stared at himself in the mirror, the reflection of a different version of him that he never thought would come to life.He rubbed on his unkept jawline, scratching on his itchy beard. Natalie has not only ripped his heart and soul but has transformed Rhys into the worst version of himself. If only he had known right from the start. As observant as Rhys is, he wasn't dumb to be deceived so easily yet Natalie had proven him to be wrong. Sparing himself a last-second glance, he lifts the hood of his hoodie covering up before picking a random car key from the stack. He walked out of
Vindictive Dr Rhys 11. A Father's Pride.
After dinner, Claus, Rhys's father, invited him into his study room to discuss. Their usual conversation hadn't been taking place for a while now, and he thought they needed to catch up.Rhys has a feeling it has everything to do with the mission Natalie told him about. His mental state is not in for missions now; what he has in mind is nothing but vengeance on how to get back at the people who have caused him everything, mostly the goodness in him."Come in, son," Claus ushers as they walk in, closing the door behind them.Rhys took a seat on one of the seats.The room suddenly fell into silence as Claus walked behind the office table, pulling a drawer and bringing some files.He returned to the center of the room, where the seaters were taking a seat adjacent to Rhys. Claus placed the papers on the center table, pushing them toward Rhys.Rhys's brows drew together as he moved forward, reaching out for them."These are all the details you need to know for the upcoming mission." Claus
Vindictive Dr Rhys 12. What Exactly Is The Plan?
"Think about it, son," Mum says, placing a kiss on his left cheek.He nodded, his deep frown still etched on his face. "I will," he mumbled in response."Oh, and please do something about your looks." She suggests not liking how unpresentable he looks.He fought a chuckle. "That won't be necessary now, will it?"Judging by the circumstances at hand, Rhys is still trying to make sense of the mission and put the two together with his plans in hand.She laughs, "So I'll take that as yes, then? You are willing to do this?"He shrugs, "Maybe.""I believe in you, son. I know how overwhelming it is for you. Having to relive the life that had almost cost you everything," Mom says in concern.He hummed, unsure of how to respond to her."I know how badly you want your revenge, but you need to act smarter than you already are. You're the toughest amongst your brothers, Rhys," she breathes out. "You've always been the obstinate, nonchalant one, right from when you were kids. Sometimes I had worri
Vindictive Dr Rhys 13. Now's Not The Time.
"No offense, man, but you should consider freshening up; I mean, get rid of the" Oliver trails off, shushing by the glare Rhys sent his way.He holds his hands up in defeat and says, "Chill! It was only a suggestion, but clearly, you're"Rhys narrowed his stare at Oliver. "One more word," he dared, his tune oozing with dominance.Oliver chuckled, getting up from the couch and walking towards where Lex sat, engrossed in the MacBook ahead of him."Alright. Roderigo's shipping company has shares in four companies that supply a lot more of their assets," Lex begins explaining, taking a pause from the laptop.Rhys lifts his stare from the papers that contain the profiles of the people he'll be working with, interested in what Lex has to say."What would you like me to do? Tamper with their mutual business relationship."Rhys cursed him off, shaking his head, "No. At least not yet. Dad has me promise him that I won't do anything just yet."Lex nods. "So what now?""I want you to have record
Vindictive Dr Rhys 14. If Only They Know.
Angela's fingers grazing on the computer ahead of her paused at the sound of her phone ringing. She drew her stare to the phone surprised as she read the caller ID.Natalie? The last time they spoke was since she informed her about her engagement with Alec. Why was she suddenly reaching out?She blinks her senses back to reality, sliding the answer button, and Angela places the phone on her left ear."Hey!"Angela hears Natasha sighing with ease: "Thank goodness, I've been trying to reach out to you for days but never really got the chance to.""Why?" Angela's questions were piqued.Angela would be lying if she said she didn't despise every one of them for what they did to her brother. They may not have noticed it—heck, who was she kidding?—Rhys was more like a piece of trash to them than an in-law.Angela is aware of how her brother is holding up, and if not for the mission their dad is sending him on, they'd have been in deep shit as they speak; she would have wanted that as well.A
Vindictive Dr Rhys 15. The Interview.
Rhys stood in front of the tall building of FreemanCorp, scrutinizing it for a second before heaving out a breath and proceeding to walk in.He adjusted his glasses with his head hung low, avoiding the weird glances he got here and there, probably from his mood of dressing; it didn't suit the professional demeanor that was meant to be portrayed.He further made his way to the VIP elevator, clicking on the buttons and impatiently waiting for the doors to slide open.Rhys walked in as they did, his stare sighting a guard pacing towards him."Excuse me." Before the guard could conclude his statement, the doors to the elevator had already clicked close, a smirk lifting on Rhys's lips."Rhys, are you there?"He puffed out a hiss, adjusting the nano-ear plug he wore that wasn't visible enough to be seen."What now, Lex?" He question. "I've run through the company's security system, and I now have access to every one of them," he informs Rhys as he hears the clicking of the keys on the boar
Vindictive Dr Rhys 16. Boss.
Rhys watched as Ethan walked out of Ashley's office, sending him a glare. The once-filled confidence Ethan exuded was nowhere to be found. It got Rhys wondering what must have happened in there.Did she say something to him? Was she intimidating?Ashley has a hard time standing out from her siblings. Alec and Hannah are known for their confidence and strong personalities; you could say she's overshadowed by them."Mr Mickelson" His name being called out by the secretary cuts him out of his train of thought.She sent him a glare, her nose scrunching with disgust. "Ms. Freeman would see you now."Rhys nods and fights back the urge to hiss. Working with a secretary would only add more to his problems; he can't have another person irritating him."Lex," he murmured as she led him to Ashely's office."Yes? What's up?""Get her fired.""Who? The secretary?" He chuckled. Rhys ignores knowing Lex is well aware of who he means yet wants, getting on his nerves."Right. On it" After a short wh

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
