Book 2- Chapter 12 Ray arrived with Missy to the room where her mother is said to be admitted. Ray gripped the knob paving open an entrance for himself and Missy. Missy walked into the room with Ray behind him letting her go in first before stepping in swiftly after. Her gaze fell on the room, scouring the scene in front of her that revealed a random male engage in a sexual activity with a nurse. The nurse’s dress was half undone exposing the nudity of her cleavage, she was on her knee in front of the male whose pants was already brought down. By the way his head was tipped backward and muffled groans kept toning out his lips, Missy and Ray was aware of the ongoing action performed by the nurse. “What the hell?” Missy voiced out in total disgust, also announcing their presence. “Ray are we in the wrong room or are you sure this is the room my mom was admitted to?” Missy questioned the man standing behind her, still glaring at the two individuals who at the heard of her voice sc
Book 2- Chapter 14 “Wait I don’t understand, your mother and I slept together through the night on the same bed. There’s no way what you’re saying is right or the truth. Maybe you guys check the wrong room. She must have returned back to her ward when she woke up and didn’t want to wake me.” Davis said back to Missy, refusing to belief what she’s telling him to be true. Missy had connected with her father, breaking to him the news of his wife’s departure and probably never to return again. However, Davis strongly opposed her belief sharing with her the blissful moment he had with his wife the night before. “You guys slept together?” Missy asked, to be sure of what she heard. “Yeah.” Davis nodded. “But dad we can’t be wrong, we met this nurse in her room clearing it out and she told us about the discharging. I even asked of her name, or is there another Kristen Lane admitted to this hospital?” Her head tilted gently to the side making the inquiry. “Well…” Davis trailed off his st
Book 2- Chapter 15 The scene tensed, Missy had her jaw pulled to the floor and so was her father. Still unable to conjure what reason she might have to visit the station. Kristen on the other hand stood there affrighted by their presence. She wasn’t pleased with Davis’s decision to keep Theodore locked in jail forever, and she had done her best to convince him but he seemed adamant. She’s going to have to curve her own way to get Theodore out of the cell, that she wanted to assure him that made her vanish from the hospital early in the morning with no trace. Surely they would be expecting a reasonable and a convincing explanation from her, and that she’s yet to compose in her head. “Mom what are you doing here?” Missy quested, taking a step forward as she moved closer to her. Trying to keep the distance between them small. “I-“ she gulped. “I could ask the both of you the same?” Kristen retorted in her troubled state, not giving a well thought out response. Missy’s brows creas
Book 2- Chapter 16Theodore felt a presence in the room where he was, laid on the bed trying to get a good rest. He sat up resting on his left elbow, eyes narrowing at the entrance where he saw his mom leaned against the doorframe. “Mom!” He called, in a drowsy tone adjusting his sitting position to a better one where he rest against the headboard. His palm rubbing on his face to cleanse the little sleepiness clouding his eyes. “What are you doing here?” He asked, looking back up at her. Delaney curled a small smile, walking further into the room and closing the door behind her. “I came to discuss somethings with you.” She said to him, coming to sit down on the bed with him. “I wanted to let you know that I’m going out of the country. I need to get this surgery out of my face.” She told him, her hands demonstrating her words by performing a circular motion on her face. “Why soon? You just told me we need to lay low and now you’re going out of the country. What’s to say you’re pr
Book 2- Chapter 17 Missy and her father arrived home, Ray beside Missy at all times as her escort. Davis went off to his room to freshen up, while Missy treated herself and Ray to a breakfast inside the kitchen. They were seated at the kitchen’s island digging in different bowls of cereals. Ray couldn’t refuse when offered due to his banging hunger. “The Boss wants you back at home after you’re done here.” Ray felt the need to inform as he passed the information on to Missy. Breaking the longing silence between them. “You do realize calling my husband The Boss in front of me is a little bit weird.” Missy spoke out her thoughts instead, referring Tyler as The Boss sounded off and weird in her ears she couldn’t stop herself from addressing it. “Besides, it’s not like I have somewhere else to visit until tonight, you heard me when I was making plans to go shopping with Thea for my prom so it’s important I keep to my word. I’m just going to wait for my mom to come back and have a si
Book 2- Chapter 18Missy took her mother up straight to her room whilst she was her father’s daughter surviving per his protection, not now that she’s a wife to the city’s most hated, and an obstacle for an obsessed maid. Her life took the big turn. Entering the room, memories of her past identity flew across the surface of her mind. When she was Missy Lane, daughter of Davis Lane, not now that she’s Missy Lane Locke, the wife of Tyler Locke. She went straight taking a seat over the bed, she sat down gesturing for her mother to come sit beside her. “You miss your room didn’t you? I’m yet to ask your father why he married you off to The Locke’s household.” Kristen pointed out, studying the look on her daughter’s face before haunching down beside her. Missy had been through a lot changing her from naive girl bothered only by her grades and graduating high school for a luxurious college, now she’s the girl who’s going to make sure her family stands and doesn’t crumble under the feet o
Book 2- Chapter 19 Missy spent more than an hour in her room catching up with her mother, finally they were done and it was time for her to return home. She left out the part of her getting a divorce because she still has thirty two days to spend with him in that house. They returned downstairs, a bit shocked by the sight of Ray and Her cousin, Kory, engrossed in a mutual conversation. They seemed to be getting a hang of each other. “Sorry to disrupt whatever it is you guys have going on, but Ray it’s time we move.” She broke into their conversation, snapping her fingers twice in action of her words.Ray glanced up at Missy, quickly moving his gaze back to Kory. A bright smile on his face as he said, “This was a nice chat.” He stood up from the couch he was seated afterwards, awaiting further instructions from Missy regarding their departure. “Alright mom. I might visit tomorrow, and I’m really glad you’re back before my graduation.” Missy turned to her mother, bading her goodbye
Book 2- Chapter 20Missy went inside, going straight in search for Diane. She had look through the kitchen, and wasn’t there. Heading over to the maid quarters she stopped a maid, asking her about Diane. “Where is Diane?” She said to the maid. “I really don’t know, I haven’t seen since we both left the garden, and that was this morning.” The maid replied, keeping her head bowed in respect to Missy’s title. Missy sighed, having no choice than to return back to the main house. Her only way of finding her now is seeking Tyler’s help. Missy head up straight to Tyler’s suite, she got to the door heaving another mental sigh. The door can’t be opened unless she possess the remote to it, so she has to wait for Tyler. Missy adapted into the cold silence, turning around to merge her back with the wall as she slid down to her butt. She had thought everything is over, but with Theodore’s escape and her instincts towards her mother’s having something shady under her skin. Missy knew everythi
Book 2: Chapter 68 (The Finale Part & Epilogue)Tyler did by his plan, getting Dave, his brother on call with him while technicians from background tracked down his location. Soon information on where he hid was revealed and noted down, one of the team working with Tyler raised his thumb, signaling to Tyler that he was done. “Oh brother, you never had to be this bad. It doesn’t always end well for bad people, I want you to know that.” Tyler rounded up his casual conversation with him. “Yet your man is on the way with the documents, if that doesn’t spell my win, I don’t know what does. Goodbye saint, since you’re ironically the good one.” He replied, hanging up the call not interested in more bantering. “We’ve gotten it.” The same guy who signaled with his thumb, announced audibly again. “Good. Ray, gather some men and storm over. I want him alive.” He instructed calmly. “And you know where to bring him.” He added, looking over at him where he stood with the technicians team to see
Book 2- Chapter 67 (Semi Finale)Missy spent the few early hours of the next morning enjoying her decision to love Tyler, they remained snuggled in bed, talking about random things since they woke up. Not long, their sweet moment was interrupted when Missy got a call from her father. He said nothing than instruct her to rush over, there is an emergency. Tyler had to let her go, wanting to go deal with his own problem once and for all. They’ve already been working on it since he murdered their father.Both dressed up for the day, parting ways to their respective destinations. Ray remained with Tyler, and Dean went with Missy like he did the other day. Soon enough they were back in the Lane’s premises, striding side by side into their mansion. Missy checked the living room, seeing her father was absent, decided to check his office, there she met him in a frenzied mood. “Dad! What’s going on?” She walked up to him, quizzing against her confusion. “You were right.” Davis replied sim
Book 2- Chapter 66Missy and Dean arrived back at the mansion, late into the evening. They parted the moment they entered, Dean taking off to wherever and Missy on her way to Tyler’s suite. Her mind trolled about Tyler’s plan for the night. She wouldn’t lie to herself, she’s enjoying this sweet side of his. She got to his suite, entering only to the roses making a path on the floor of the living room, leading further into the room. A smile pulled up on Missy’s lips, flustered as she followed the roses, going into his room to see a dress box on the bed, and an enveloped notecard sitting pretty above it. ‘For my darling wife’ The enveloped notecard held the scripted title. Missy took the card, filing it open to remove the notecard inside. “For a lady prettier than the stars beautifying the night sky. Become your goddess with the dress.” Missy read the text, absolutely smitten as a wide grin morphed largely on her face. She dropped the card, peeling open the box to reveal a well f
Book 2- Chapter 65Missy was skeptical, torn up by what she heard, deciding not to express a reaction quickly went away from the door, gesturing towards Dean for them to return back to their feet. Her mind kept hurtling around what she heard, keeping a close call and a shady touch. She arrived by her father’s office, meeting him there as expected. He seemed busy with his work, thanks to his injured leg. He’s unable to visit his company and work from his company, now he’s doing it from home, leaving the company under the care of his assistant. “Hey Dad!” Missy greeted, purposely to announce her presence. She walked further inside, leaving the entrance where Dean already took a stance on guard. “Hey! I’m guessing you’re done with your tour. Are you about to leave?” He pushed aside the laptop he was working on, bringing his full attention to focus on Missy. “Not really, I came to discuss some things with you. It’s about my conversation with Theodore. He told me some things, not only
Book 2- Chapter 64“My mother faked her death while I got arrested, and detained in a cell. She then came for me the next morning, I think she’s got some connections with the Chief PO. They released me and I went away with her, while walking over to her car, she made us ran away from someone I have no idea of. I asked her who it was, but she talked around it and didn’t let me know exactly who the man was. Although, she later said it was her husband, husband from years ago, husband I have no idea what she did to him that makes her scared of his return. We got to her private abode where I’m sure none of you knows where, she introduced some guy to me as her housekeeper. Unknown to me, the guy was her son. She lied to me, and the same guy took me out and sent me back to jail; with my mom’s interest. If you still think I’m lying, this is going to be my last truth of convincing you. My mom had this plan with The Connors, they were going to kidnap their son, and I will be made a mask, a facia
Book 2- Chapter 63“Welcome to our home. Missy will go on now and put you to a room, and give you a little tour of the house. I know you must be famished, so let me quickly go make you something to eat. After your tour with Missy, you can go freshen up and Davis, your father would look into his closet and find something casual for you to wear.” Kristen pointed out for everyone except Kory, her mother and Missy’s escort. They had just returned home from the FBI’s station and it’s noon already. The gathering soon dispersed with everyone leaving to tend to their given instructions. Kristen left for the kitchen with her sister, and Missy left with Theodore and Dean trailing behind them. “So, should we try the brother-sister bonding of a thing?” He asked, letting his words break the silence. “No, not interested. Instead, talk to me about how my life is in danger.” She responded, her head nodding sideways to further confirm her words. “Well, if you go to your prom then you’ll die. Simpl
Book 2- Chapter 62His statement brought forth their simmering fascination. “What do you mean Delaney is involved?”“What do you mean your mother is involved?” Missy and her father asked at the same time. “Your mother is dead in case you don’t know.” Davis felt to inform him, thinking his words weren’t based with fruition. A grin lined his face, twinning his palms as he moved to relax on his seat. “Dead? You think my mother is dead?” He raised an amusing look, tainting his words with sarcasm so he would be unable to figure out. Missy and her father looked at each other, “You’re lying, he’s lying. You’re just trying to get out of here.” Missy called out, “Sorry, but we don’t want your information. Dad let’s go before he finds something more to keep us here.” She said, turning to her father as she grabbed him, dragging him up with her to their feet. “Of course I’m trying to get out of here, just not lying. Walk out that door and leave me here, chances are I’ll visit your funeral, Mi
Book 2- Chapter 61They all arrived at the FBI quarters in three different rides, one belonging to Missy and her escort; Dean. One belonging to Davis and his wife, and the last one transporting Kristen’s sister and Missy’s cousin.The clock was vast ticking down to noon, the sun up high with a bright shone through the sky. Walking in, an agent who was expecting their arrival led the way, taking them to the room where Theodore was kept for confrontation. Missy was the first to enter the room, her eyes landing on Theodore’s soft gaze at her. Irritation washed through her, instantly expressing it by averting her eyes. She came in further, letting the rest in have their space for entrance. The agent who came with them also turning around to leave. “You.” Missy lifted an index, pointing it directly at his face while she approached him with slow movements. “I want to talk to you, and you alone.” Theodore asserted, referring to Missy and Davis with his own indexes. Everyone exchanged gl
Book 2- Chapter 60Tyler had his father’s burnt corpse cremated further into ashes, spending his day arranging his funeral. He hadn’t broke the news to his mother yet. He wanted to add the news of Dave’s death alongside the traumatic news whenever he breaks it to her. He already had Ray on the job, working hand in hand with the private assassin he hired to remove his brother if he ever steps his foot into the city. Tyler stood by the grave, watching as they worked on making a tombstone out of the grave. His phone rang, disrupting his focused attention to the men’s work. He brought it out, knowing who was calling him by the anonymous name. He walked away for some privacy, picking the call after. “Was my message delivered or I have to repeat myself?” Tyler’s cold voice goaded the moment he took the call. “Pissed about the death of your old man?” A wry chuckle followed, evident in his tone the distress still bothering him, definitely from the physical assault received from Tyler yes
