Book 2- Chapter 30After scolding Joan, the maid for awhile. She told her the best thing for her was to evacuate the premises before she expose Agnes and her daughter. Else she would damn herself to Tyler’s wrath without her having to tell him about it then. Missy left her off with the heads up, going on to finding Agnes’ room to confront her about the accusation. They were obviously going to the deny, but she had her plans. “OMG! Dean!” She called at the sight of a familiar face that stood far from her, in one corner conversing with a maid. He glanced over at the direction where his name was called and saw exactly who called him, he broke into smile immediately rising up her palm to wave at her. Missy wasn’t going to deny it. The crazy bodyguard with the wild theories was the best part of escaping those that wanted her dead. She recalled to one of his crazy theories, the one involving human reincarnation. What if we die only to get reborn in another planet because we’re meant t
Book 2- Chapter 29She avoided looking inside her eyes, her stance twitching and unsteady. “Are you okay?” Missy asked with her eyes squinted at her, her arms lifting to rest above her chest. Her question not of genuine care, only to rustle up her pose.“I’m fine, don’t I seem fine? Why are you asking?…. Why…. Why did you stop me, t-to ask me something or sent me on an errand?” She had responded, shuddering in between her sentences. “You delivered a juice to me yesterday, did you know it was poisoned?” She questioned, taking a step closer to her, her presence coming off intimidating. “No.” She answered quickly, taking a step backwards in opposition to the gap closing between her and Missy. “I went to Diane, and she said she wasn’t the one who sent you over. In fact, she never did.” She engaged with her psychologically, manipulating her into confusion with her gaze pinned on her body to study her bodily response to the confusion. “No. She might be lying, she’s definitely ly-““She

Book 2- Chapter 31 Back at the cell underground, where Tyler, Ray, and Diane were at. The atmosphere reeked of tension, and something sinister seeped through the moment. A Kayla’s lookalike who had been disgusting herself to be Diane all this while had blatantly called out Ray’s point for supporting a proof that was physical related and past his bound. How could he support such proof unless he’s gotten up close, that brought about the tension and the creeping silence. “Do I have to ask or you’ll get on straight with your explanation?” Tyler’s deepened voice pierced the lonely atmosphere, rustling up a ruttle in the moment as all eyes laid on Ray, expecting him to explain himself.Ray who wasn’t expecting the call out had his lips parted, his eyes paled out as he looked around confused on where to begin. “I……… uh- I….” He trailed through stutters, chest heaving up and down as he backed away from where he stood. “Ray!” Tyler called his name, the tone at which he used creating a tu
Book 2- Chapter 32 Theodore wasn’t about to keep whatever suspicion he was getting before displayed wildly by his action. He was going to put on the mental blindfold they wanted and gain all the insights needed through the darkness. Hours have passed since he heard what he heard and they’ve arrived to the mansion. He had gotten a little bit of sleep, making sure his door was closed before doing such. He pushed out of the bed, sliding his feet into his slippers as he walked off into the bathroom. He stared at his rumpled appearance in the mirror, his hair was all frizzed to a side and the grumpy expression sitting on his face made him appear quite moody. He proceeded to working the faucet, turning on some water to sprinkle on his face as he rid all that was moussing the grumpiness on his face. Done with that, he took off his clothes going naked for a quick shower for muscles rejuvenation. Afterwards when he was done, sheathed himself back into a matching pair of brown colored wi
Book 2-Chapter 33 At the Lane’s mansion. Davis was still in his office when the door opened, giving entrance to Kristen as she walked inside. “Darling you’ve had enough work today, come downstairs for dinner. You can return afterwards.” She goaded upon her arrival, striding to where he’s seated, engulfed in the business that doesn’t really concern him. He already gave the FBI the job, he should dead his tensed heartbeat and let them do their work. Calm his nerves while awaiting their call to inform him about who they’ve found. “I’m sorry Love, I just need to make sure none of them messes up this time around. I need to keep an eye out on them.” Davis replied, relieving a tired sigh as he fell back on the chair, a hand running through his hair. “So what do we have for dinner?” He asked, looking up at her with a squinted eyes. “Your eyes hurt doesn’t it? Come downstairs and see for yourself, you’re done with that today. You’re going to wait for them to call you, and stop obsessing
Book 2- Chapter 34Missy could not hide her irritation, it was all mirrored on her face. “It was you!” Missy raved out amidst the silent, eyes boring holes of anger and disgust on Agnes where she stood. “You poisoned me. You tried to kill me, not Diane or anyone else but you. You and your daughter,” her eyes rolled over to Samantha where she stood witnessing her truthfully accused her mother and herself. Agnes breathed out in a gasp, obviously stunned with her charging against her, but kept it hidden as she feigned a blank reaction instead. “What are you talking about, darling? Why in the good lord would I try to poison you? I would do no such thing, you’ve got the wrong person. Perhaps you should go take a rest, and rethink to what is really going on.” Her expression schooled her features into pity, she took a step forward, leaning her face towards Missy. “I mean not too long ago, you accused me of kidnapping you and now you’re claiming I poisoned you.” She gasped within a light
Book 2- Chapter 35 Kayla’s sister wasn’t about to cast herself out, outing herself would only push him to measure precautions to prevent her plan from ever happening. She needs to think of a way to get out of this and have this all over. “My name is Kaylee, Kaylee Gerber. And I’m a business owner back in Italy where I schooled and decided to settle down.” She briefed on her background, answering the question Tyler had asked earlier before seeking to know about her plans.“I don’t have anything planned, I just want to know the truth about the sudden disappearance of my sister when her weddings are few weeks away and her husband is doing nothing about it.” She talked on his next question, grinding up a believable lie. Tyler still had a hand smoothening his jaw, he sucked on his bottom lips, seeing to her response and sniffing out the lie in it. “You said that time we had no idea what is coming and that it can’t be stopped. What is coming? What can’t be stopped? Don’t try to lie, I’m
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
