Chapter 2“Emergency!!!! Emergency!!!!!!” He screamed as he pushed himself through the standard glassy barriers as a door with a passed out Missy in his arms.“Somebody get a doctor!” He yelled out a again, “Or a nurse! Please my wife is dying!” He added to his sentence with his face morphing a pleading but teary look. Emergency team from a corner rushed out, all putting on a surprised look to see the City’s youngest billionaire in a towel standing meters at the center of the hospital’s floor calling for a doctor.The whole arena had their focus on him, some even with their phones recording the moment. Tyler Locke, the Tyler Locke people thought was cruel, wicked, nothing but a monster showed up at the City’s General hospital in his towel carrying a beautiful young girl that looks exactly like his first love in his arms. A girl he referred to as his wife, it’s sure a surprising scene and pitiful at the same time. He appeared more than concern about her well-being, showing true emoti
Book 2- Chapter 3It was in the middle of the night when she opened her eyes, gaze meeting with the room’s ceiling. The solitude of the night refreshing and a bit mysterious as it crept up into her feelings.Her feet rolled left coming off the bed and straight into a pair of slip ons. She sat up immediately, taking one peak around the room before standing up on her feet. She stepped forward in light movements, arriving gently at the door where she softly pulled on the knob making a path for her figure. Her head peeped out, glancing down the hallway left and right before she pushed the rest of her body out. Keeping her actions out of attention and secluded, she pulled the door closed before turning to her left walking straight down the passage with her head held low. She arrived in front of a wardroom on the left side of the row, handling the knob she invited herself inside. She stood there like a stick making no movement, staring at the sleeping gentle man laid on the bed with a
Book 2- Chapter 4The Next Morning. At 9am.She walked majestically, with a Gucci designer bag hanging down her left arm that was dipped in a silky black colored glove rolling up both her hands as she sashayed her way out of the Sheriff’s Department.She was behind another officer who led her deeper into the station, taking her to the chamber where cells were located and prisoners are held hostage. Her head was held up high in the wide broad brim hat that covered half of her face, leaving out the lower part that exposed how heavenly she was covered in makeup with a red lipstick masking her plump lips. They both arrived at a certain cell gate with metallic barriers as the door.Inside the cell sat a young looking boy seated on a single bench with his hands cuffed and head buried in his knee as he wallowed into his thoughts.“Theo.” The woman called in her soft voice, merging closer to the gates as her identity came to the view, her gloved hands holding on to the bars. “Mom?” The boy
Chapter 5 Delaney glanced over at her son, she stared at him for some seconds before returning her eyes back to the road. A little smile curving down her lips. “You shouldn’t worry about him, I will take care of it. I promise.” She assured in her response, sounding determined and leaving Theo to continue wondering whose sight they hid and ran from. “Oh.” Theo toned out a low sound, his brows creasing apart lifting up a bit. “I also want to ask, how did you know I was detained in Jail?” He questioned, a look of suspense falling back on his face as he kept his gaze glued to his driving mother. “I will tell you everything you need to know after you tell me what you were planning with that Lane Witch. Kristen or what did she call herself.” She retorted, mentioning her name with such resentment. “Mom,” Theodore called out reeling to silence afterwards, his gaze moving away to the other side watching the city’s beautiful view shaped in his periphery. Delaney glanced at him once more,
Book 2- Chapter 6 Missy opened her eyes to her respiratory organs still functioning, her lashes batted like that of an angel as she settled down in the weird reality where everything seems to be too clean for the dirty world she lives in. Her bones felt restricted but she managed to rise on her elbows, now getting a clear survey of where she is. Adjacent her at the far end of the room was the least person she expect to see with herself in the room. “What is he doing here?” She questioned herself in the silence before taking a rounder survey at the room to realize she was in a hospital room and by the looks of it she was admitted. If anything, the pulls and tingles of the syringe attached to the back of her palm were the perfect evidence. “What am I doing here?” She quizzed out her thoughts trying to remember what happened that led to her admission into the hospital. She recalled she was in the room when a maid came to deliver a tray carrying a cup of Juice and her drugs to her s
Book 2- Chapter 7 Tyler Locke sure wasn’t expecting the floods of media that crowded the entrance of the City’s hospital waiting for his departure so he can answer to their questions. He came out of the ward room giving support to Missy with her hand hanging around his shoulder, and his arm supporting her stance by his waist as they both journey out of the building. Tyler’s guards; Timothy and Raymond, standing close to them also not expecting the scene faced as they approach walking out the exit of the building. Heavy bodyguards provided by the hospital’s security were already at the entrance guarding it, securing no entrance from any of those medias. “I kinda forgot you’re a billionaire with a reputation.” Missy threw a remark, awed by the scene in front of her. “Boss I don’t think you can make it out of here alive unless you become a ghost, I think you’d have to go through the back exit and Tim and I will try to bring your transport over there.” Ray suggested after a long l
Book 2- Chapter 8 Tyler barely waited for the car to halt before hurriedly stepping down from it, bolting straight inside the mansion in front of him. He was about phoning a guard to have Diane apprehended in his torture room before his arrival when his father’s call interrupted, he informed him of the ongoing assault that urgently needed his presence. His brother was back and he wanted blood, he proposed that Tyler comes back home in the next twenty minutes or he’s killing both his parents.This became a hindrance in his plans to keep a close eye on his wife, thus he had to abort going with her and rushing to his parent’s abode to deal with the sudden issue. He arrived at the living room where everyone was held up in a cowering state, the guards had their guns pointed up at him while him; the solo man had two guns stretched out by his arms, pointed straight at the back head of his parents. Other employees, including the maids, cleaners, everyone else was on their knees on the fl
Book 2- Chapter 9 “We found out your mom actually birth a twins, and you might have another brother other than Theodore.” The news escaped from a female, conversing on the other end of the phone call directed by Missy.She hummed out in a voiceless tone, her lips parting as she gaped into the space with a paled expression. “What do you mean twins?” Missy asked to be sure she heard correct of what she heard. “Yes, twins. Remember this guard, Jace, the one who broke into Delaney’s apartment. He brought home some files, and amidst those files was this particular one holding the information I’m sharing with you, inside it says the kid died, but Jericho did a little digging and you won’t believe what we found.” She divulged further, getting into details entailing the information. Missy was speechless, she has no idea what to say. “Uhm, what did you guys find about him or her? Are they dead or alive? Like why are you telling me this? Do I need to know? Oh gosh!” She breathed out a sigh,
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
