Chapter 38: Avoid MeSEXUAL WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SEXUAL SCENESMicheal stood at the long highway, waiting for his boss to arrive. As he stood there, he could hear his heart beating tremendously loud, as tension clouded him. He was obviously afraid of his boss’s actions when he arrives, he wondering what he would do to him after telling him he lost John. He was so scared to death and just couldn’t shake off the feeling of being in trouble.“How long have you been here?” he heard, and immediately he turned to the direction the voice came from, and his eyes stayed on his boss. As his eyes met the huge man, he found himself gulping down nothing in particular. And he could feel a sense of dread washing all over him.He watched as his boss walked to him, his face barely dictating his emotions. “I hope you have something positive to feed me?” his boss questioned, standing only a few inches from him now. As he watched his boss’s eyes dance around him, he gulped down nothing in
Chapter 39: A man outstdeRose yawned out loud and sat up on her bed. “Another day to face life,” she stuttered out and stretched her hand.“Oh fuck!” She screamed as her hand hit someone. “Who the heck…” she turned to whoever she hit, and her eyes stayed on her kids.“Oh my! When did they creep into my room?” She giggled, her eyes dancing on her kids, who were still fast asleep.“I don’t know why they still prefer this room to their rooms,” she stood up from the bed and strode off to the bathroom.Few minutes later…Rose walked out of the bathroom, her towel wrapped around her chest, and her hair still dripping with water. She walked to her mirror stand, where she applied her skin lotion, and thereafter, she strode off to her wardrobe and pulled out a simple gown.Putting on her gown, she returned to the bed and pulled her phone from the charging point.“Mom… good morning,” she heard Kendell’s voice and turned to her.“Good morning, darling,” she patted her daughter on the head and
Chapter 40: Be goneForgetting to stare at the peephole, she pulled the door open, and her eyes fell on her gateman, who had a pissed look on his face.“Ma,” he said as soon as she pulled the door open, and Rose’s eyes opened in curiosity.“A man is making a fuss outside the gate, and he urgently wants to see you,” her gateman stuttered, and Rose’s eyes flew open in shock. “A man? Making a fuss?” She repeated after him in surprise.“Do you have an idea of who he is?” Rose questioned, certain it wasn’t Dave. “No, ma, I have no idea who he is, neither have I seen him in my entire existence,” the gateman replied. Immediately, Rose knew there was a problem.Quickly, she rushed out with the gateman, different thoughts flushing through her mind. “Who could it be? What does he want? What if it’s a kidnapper?” She was restless and couldn’t think straight.When she finally got to the gate with the man, she breathed out, trying to calm her tension before she stared into the peephole.Her eye
Chapter 41: A ToastThe drive home was a long and hectic one. Derek’s face was gloomy, and his hands were sore from hitting his car’s steering wheel countless times. When he finally parked his car in his garage, he walked out of the car after picking up some important stuff. As he stood out there before going into his house, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. On the second ring, the receiver picked up the call, and Derek let out a simple command: “I want you in my house now; we need to settle things.” Saying this, he ended the call and walked into his personal house.This house was different from the one he stayed in with his wife; this particular house was just for him personally. A place he come to relieve his stress and drink his life to stupor. Standing for a while, he turned to the gateman and said, “John would still be here, so be on alert.” He watched as the gateman gave a light nod and bowed. Derek turned to his massive mansion and walked into it,
Chapter 42: Are you jealous? It was a cold evening, and the moon shone brightly in the sky, casting a soft glow on the earth. Derek lay on his bed, operating his phone with a smile plastered on his face.“Ladies are so desperate these days,” he laughed, staring at his phone. “Imagine asking me to be her man for a week. What does she think I am? A play toy?” He chuckled on.As he sat on the bed, reading numerous messages on his Instagram account and laughing, the door to the room suddenly creaked open, revealing Sofia. She had a soft smile on her face as she walked up to the bed.“Why are you smiling like you won a lottery?” she questioned her husband, sitting beside him on the bed.Derek looked at her, smiled, and replied, “It’s nothing serious. I’m just reading desperate messages from all these desperate chicks who won’t leave me alone.”“Imagine asking me to be her man for a week after knowing fully well that I’m married,” Derek chuckled, his eyes still dancing on his phone, bar
Chapter 43: The Secret AllySofia stood in front of the massive mirror in the room, applying lotion to her soft skin. She smoothed the lotion into her skin, making sure it blended well. As she applied the lotion, her eyes drifted to the wall clock in the room, and she shifted uncomfortably.“When is he leaving so I can leave?” she mumbled to herself, soliloquizing on the time. “10:31.” Her face itched with worry. She didn’t want Derek to know she was going out; she wanted to keep it a secret. She knew that if he found out, he would want to know where she was going, and that was what she was seriously avoiding.As she sat there, her face masked with worry, the bathroom door suddenly pulled open, revealing Derek. He had a towel around his waist, and his hair was soaked with water. His muscular body stood firm as he stared to Sofia, and she gulped hard, trying to ignore the tempting sight.She sat up and quickly strengthened her face, faking a smile. “You sure did waste time bathin
Chapter 44: They is a problem “Okay, I’ll meet you there,” Sofia nodded and ended the call.As she did, she quickly picked up her bag from the bed and placed her phone into it. She turned to the mirror, took her perfume, and sprayed it all over her body. “Now that would do,” she smiled at her reflection before leaving the room.She took the stairs leading to the parlor exit. She yanked the door open and got out as soon as she got to it. As she stepped out, the cool morning breeze hit her, and she took a delightful breath. “Today is so perfect,” she giggled as she walked to her car.Getting to her car, she gave a gateman simple instructions before walking into the car. She pulled out of the garage and zoomed out of the mansion as soon as the gateman followed her instructions.As she zoomed into the busy streets of NYC, she tuned into her favorite music and head-danced to it as she drove. “Life would be so boring without you, Rihanna,” she said and sang along to the song.Behind he
Chapter 45: A Meeting with Grandfather “Why is she calling so soon? Has she opened the flash drive already?” Sofia wondered as she picked up the call. “Hello…” Her ally cut her short with urgent words. “There’s a problem, Sofia. There’s a problem,” her ally stuttered in panic.As the words hit Sofia, she battled to keep her eyes open, trying to make sense of what she had just heard. “A problem?” She finally stuttered as she realized what was going on.“Yes, Sofia, there is a big one, and you need to quickly take a new route,” her ally’s voice was covered in panic, and as she spoke, Sofia could feel her heart racing from her end. She listened as the lady gasped continuously before letting out the bombshell: “Someone is following you, Sofia. You need to take a new route.” Her ally stammered. Sofia’s eyes flew open in shock as she processed the words. “I am being followed?” she stuttered and tried to take a break from driving. She could feel her feet suddenly becoming heavy against
Chapter 120: A Warm Embrace Dave had a sneer-smile on his face as he watched Sofia and the policeman walk out of the station. Everything was already plotted out; he was going to escape, dead or alive. He wasn’t done with his vengeance yet, so they had no right to lock him up. He knew deep down that he must complete what he came to do before he could have the peace he needed. Everything was already plotted out, and his escape plan would kick off now.“Does those two bastards think that I will let them have a great life after everything they have done to me?” He fisted his hands and turned to Anna, who was locked in the same cell with him. Anna gave him a mocking glare before replying, “And what possible can you do in this state?” She rolled her eyes as she spoke, and Dave could feel the mockery in her tone. “Are you downgrading me right now? Do you think I can’t do it?” He glared at her, his eyes burning with rage, but Anna didn’t care about the amount of rage in his eyes; she pre
Chapter 119: WorriesKendell let out a bright smile and turned to Derek. “You too, Dad,” she smiled, and Derek knelt down immediately. As the family knelt down, about to dive into prayers, the door to the hospital ward pulled open, revealing the doctor. They all looked at him, and the look on his face was enough to inform them that he had news.“Doctor, any news?” Rose stood up for the first and rushed to him, along with the rest of the family. As their eyes stayed on the doctor’s downcast eyes, they knew something was wrong.“What is it, Doctor? Can you just say what you came in here to tell us?” Rose interrupted again, and the doctor stared blankly at her for a while. He took his eyes off her, took a deep breath, and prepared to deliver the news. They all watched as he cleared his throat, as if his words were obstructed, before he dropped the bombshell: “We couldn’t find any matching kidney. I am sorry,” he announced.Rose grabbed his shirt. “What did you just say?” she stuttered,
Chapter 118: Let’s Pray“Doctor, I have checked the organ retrieval suite,” the nurse said with a bow, and everyone’s ears itched to hear his next words, as they were the main point.“I checked the organ retrieval suite, but I couldn’t find any kidney that matches his,” the nurse broke the sad news and the room went wild. “What are we supposed to do now?” Rose stammered, already losing it. “Is there no other option?” Derek fired, his eyes filled with disappointment. “What will become of my brother? I hope he’s not going to die?” Kendell wept, everything was too much for her tiny brain to handle.“What needs to be done, Doctor?” Rose stood up from her seat in a flash. “What needs to be done to save my son?” She moved to the doctor faster than anyone could say “no” and grabbed him by the collar. The astonished man managed to pull her hands off his collar, and when he successfully did, after much trial, he took in a deep breath.“What the hell can be done? Please,” Rose fell to the f
Chapter 117: A Sad NewsThey watched as the doctor gave another sad nod before deciding to spill the most anticipated news.“I am sorry to inform you, but your son couldn’t make it. He was…” The doctor couldn’t complete his statement when a nurse yelled from inside the ward, calling his attention.“Doctor! Doctor!! He’s moving,” the nurse yelled, and he rushed into the ward, shutting the door behind him before Rose could gain access. She was ready to follow him into the ward.“What is really happening?” she mumbled in fear, pacing back and forth in front of her son’s ward. As she paced, something remained in her mind: “Was the doctor trying to tell them they lost their son earlier on?" she reasoned, and as she did, her heartbeat increased; everything was playing too fast.“Please, I think you need to calm down, Rose. I am sure everything will fall into place,” she heard behind her, and turning around, her eyes fell on Derek, whose face was also filled with worry.“I am scared, Derek;
Chapter 116: Hug me More“You haven’t even discovered the most shocking truth, and you are already all over it,” Kendall intruded again, and Rose could feel herself almost going nuts.“What is in for her again?” she wondered.“Mom, do you know that Dad and Uncle Dave are brothers?” Kendell spilled the beans, which recklessly threw Rose off balance.“Wh…at are you saying?” Rose stuttered, breaking the silence that was already revolving around them like a solid rock.“You heard me clearly, Mom – Dad and Uncle Dave are brothers, but according to Dad, he thought Uncle Dave had died a long while ago,” Kendell added, and Rose could feel her head exploding from discovering so many secrets at once.“How…? How are they brothers? They…” Rose stuttered weakly; everything was just too much to process.“I think you have said enough,” Derek snatched the phone from Kendell, realizing all the secrets Kendell was spilling was too much for Rose to handle.“Your mom is currently at the hospital, so I do
Chapter 115: Messed UpThe kids rushed to their father, who hugged them tightly and didn’t stop pecking them. “I am so glad that you two are safe,” Derek said happily.“I am so glad…” Ken tried to speak, but he couldn’t complete his statement. He fell short of breath and started coughing like he was fighting for his life.“Ken!” Kendell and Derek yelled out his name. Derek held him and tried to find out what was going on. A few officers surrounded them, while the rest focused on Dave and Anna.Derek watched helplessly as his son took a deep breath and collapsed in his arms. “Ken!” he shouted, and shook him, but there was no response.“Dad, please let’s take him to the hospital, we need to take him to the hospital,” Kendell stammered, already in tears. She shook like a leaf as she spoke. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing her brother.“Quick! Open the door to the back car,” Derek shouted, and one of the officers did as he said. Without waiting another second, he rushed to the open
Chapter 114: Thrown in AweBut now everything was becoming clear to him; now he knew the reason his father didn’t include Daniel (Dave) in his will; now he knew the secret his gran”father was trying to hide from him when he asked him why Daniel wasn’t included in the will. “And that isn’t all, Derek; do you want to discover the most shocking truth?” Dave laughed out loud, and Derek was forced to stare at him in anticipation of his next words. “I killed your miserable father, Derek,” Dave confessed with hilarious laughter; he had no remorse in his eyes as he said this. “I killed him when I discovered my name wasn’t in his will. How could he be so mean as not to include my name in his will?” He laughed again. Derek watched as his brother spilled more secrets, but he just couldn’t bring himself to believe that his brother had actually killed his father. “How the heck are you responsible for Father’s death, you asshole?” he stuttered and watched as his brother released an evil laughte
Chapter 113: Revelation “We are surrounded by police officers, Dave,” Anna stuttered in panic, she was the first to witness the incident playing around them. “Police?” Dave mumbled, and looked behind him, and that was when he noticed the police officers surrounding them. The kids, on the other hand, jubilated, jumping up and down and screaming to alert the police officers that they were still stuck in the car.“Can you two shut the fuck up, or I will put a bullet through your tiny brains?” Dave yelled at them. He was already swimming in confusion; he was looking for a way to escape the police, and this was making matters worse.“But how the heck did they discover our location? Did you make any calls? Or anything at all?” Anna said in panic, and that was when he remembered that he called his brother Derek.“That asshole!” he yelled and hit the steering wheel of his car. “That idiot betrayed me again,” he lamented.“That idiot? Who exactly are you referring to? So you actually calle
Chapter 112: Stay Back“The buyer just called,” Anna said, taking her phone away from her ears. She gave Derek a nod, indicating it was time to leave.“Okay, where is he? Is he around here, or are we taking the kids to him?” Derek questioned, already untying them.“He said he’s by the roadside, so definitely, when we drive out, we will see him,” Anna replied, helping to untie Ken while Derek continued untying Kendell, who was already begging now.“Uncle Dave, please don’t sell us. I’m sorry for being rude to you; please have mercy and don’t sell us away. If you do, it’s going to break my mom’s heart,” she pleaded, tears already falling from her innocent eyes.By this time, Ken was already awake and hearing his sister’s words; his heart flew into high speed. “Sell us? He wants to sell us?” He turned to his sister, panting, and his ears itched for a response. He watched as his sister nodded positively before responding.“Yes, Ken, this wicked man wants to sell us,” he watched as his sis
