Book 2: Chapter 48At the Lane’s Mansion. Davis had just finish with his dinner, aided by his crutch; he limped back to his office, leaving his wife to the hospitality of her guests. Arriving at his office, his phone beside his laptop kept beeping, vibrating hard to notify the tons of messages falling in. Davis hastened over, picking the phone up and instantly checking out all he has missed. He already has missed calls from the deputies working together with the FBIs to find Theodore wherever he ran too. Calls were missed from the FBIs also, which meant that they have news. Urgent and important news. Davis swiped on his phone, placing a call directly to the head commissioning the team of the FBI he has on the case. He picked at the first rang, “I missed several of your calls, and your messages read for me to give you a call. Any news?” Davis spoke into the phone, after he saw the call was picked. “We wanted to inform you that your culprit has been found and right now on the wa
Book 2- Chapter 49 Tyler and Ray arrived back home, going straight down to the prisoner they held down at an inbuilt prison. She was exactly the way they left her, just looking more miserable and messy. Tyler stretched out his palm, and Ray didn’t have to ask what before placing it on his palm. He walked up to her, walking around her with his hands trailing on her shoulder. He stopped behind her, leaning down with his breath fanning her left ear, “You wanted revenge and you’ve had it, here is a little reward for you.” He spoke softly into her ears, proceeding into removing the cap protecting the injection before inserting it straight into her arm. The liquid substance flowing through the injection case was emptied into her body in between seconds. She groaned, her head pulling up to fall backwards. “What- what-“ she moaned out with tiredness, unable to make a complete statement. “What did you do to me?” She managed to ask, after seconds of preparing herself. “Nothing much darl
Book Two- Chapter Fifty “I want you laid flat on this soft and mushy ground, roll on it ten times in front of me, kiss my feet at the end and consider yourself forgiven.” Missy demanded, her mischievous smirk remaining on her face. Everyone gasped, some turning to whispers, others remaining invested with their phones documenting the situation. Bryan looked around, believing that is truly all he has to do to get her forgiveness moved backward. “If I do this, you forgive me right?” He quested for assurance, and Missy nodded back a response. “Yes.” She confirmed. Bryan proceed to laying on the floor. “She’s lying Bryan, she just wants to make a fool of yourself. Stop this right now!” Anna tried to warned, but Bryan remained unhinged. Getting him laid flat and straight on the floor, he rolled to the left, closing his eyes and mouth to stop sands form shoving in. He rolled to the right, ignoring the chuckles coming from his mates watching him and making a video. He believed he wo
Book 2- Chapter 51Theodore groaned with his system banging into consciousness, his eyes pinched shut and body stretched out in a restrained movement. He squeezed his eyes opened, exposed to a new environment that had him sitting him in an instant. His gaze turned quizzical as he looked around, sitting up the bed he was laid on. Nothing was in the enclosed room except for a bed, the ash colored interior design and the bed placed by the wall. ‘Where are mine?’ He voiced in his thought, recalling to the night he was spending before arriving at this strange place. He was on his bed, watching TikTok and having some snacks when his door opened, Shane came in. He told him he came to tell him goodbye. That was the last thing he remembered happening. Was this Shane’s handiwork? Of course it is. Where did he brought him? Many questioned kept popping into Theodore’s mind as he rose to his feet, walking away from the bed and trying to get a better view of his surroundings. He approached
Book 2- Chapter 52 Theodore wondered in his head, zoning out of his conversation with the FBI agent in front of him. His mind tried to make sense of the man’s response. That he was found unconscious in a remote location, and the last thing he remembered was Shane taking him out. He was the one who betrayed him, but something pinched him that he wasn’t the only one. That perhaps, his mother that has been so shady since they got to her alleged penthouse, and harbors so many secrets is part of the betrayal. “Hello! Mister! Hello!!” The agent reached out to his attention, earning a paled glance from Theodore before he resumed to his thoughts. If truly his mother wasn’t part, did she not notice his disappearance? Up until now? “I see you were never going to cooperate, good luck defending yourself in court. I’m submitting your case over.” The man after countless attempts to continue conversing with Theo gave up, spouting a finalized statement as he stood up clearly pissed. Theodore r
Book Two- Chapter Fifty Three Tyler got to the penthouse faster than Dave could make his arrival. He went in, going straight to the office where he planed to host their meeting. As he set foot into the room, memories rushed in. Their past played into sight, so vivid he could he even hear not only see himself and his brother giggling and preparing a prank for their father. However, the two brothers weren’t alone, a feminine figure stood with them, helping with the plan and giggling along with them. The memory faded, another coming to display. Grasping a scenic trail of emotions, holding a much more trigger than the first one that Tyler enjoyed remembering. He watched his little self, holding him back as he tried to murder her. They had both plan to kill her, but at the execution, he changed his mind and realized they were being wrong. He killed her and he couldn’t stop him, then they framed her like they were suppose to. Tyler snapped out of his head, striding straight to sit on
Book 2- Chapter 54 “I’m going to count till three and if those documents are not touching my hand. You can greet him bye.” His calm voice enunciated, adding humor to the utterance of his threat. Tyler sneered in silence, pining to his stance and wishing time could be reversed for him to be smarter. “One.” He began counting down. Something wanted to call bluff inside Tyler, but he can’t be too sure. “I don’t have it with me. I will mail it to you.” He spoke up before he could make another count. Dave pouted, downturning his lips as he blinked cutely at him. “Am I suppose to believe that, brother?” He questioned in a different tone, pimping on a child’s voice to satirized the situation. “Let him go, I’m for real.” He retorted, his tone grounded with his gaze lowered at him. There was nothing else to do, he’s won the first level of the game. But it isn’t over, this is a long one with counting levels. He wants half his property, he’s going to have it. No more engaging in a cat ve
Book 2- Chapter 55The scene replayed, a vivid occurrence. The car blowing up over and over again, to remind him his father is gone and dead. “I’m going to kill you.” He announced, sounding possessed with his eyes twitching as he threw away the knife he held, and lunging straight forward at him. He grabbed a hold of his collar, pushing him hard against the nearest wall. He threw few punches on his face before dragging him and pushing him into the floor. Dave fell to the ground, feeling his jaws ripped with pain. He pushed out a leg, trying to kick an incoming Tyler. Tyler grabbed his leg before it could hit his stomach, crashing his elbow into him. He dragged him to him using the leg, smacking a hard slap on his face that had him rolling to the floor. Tyler began kicking him on the floor he laid on weak, his rage, anger, fury, projected down on his attacks as he full on began pummeling Dave. “I’m going to kill you.” He announced once more, topping over his body as he stoop down
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
