Chapter 47 She moved closer, aura a bit dominating with an air of suspense to an end of what she sees herself playing at. “What did you talk about with your mother when she called?” She asked, her suspicion hiding the curiosity in her voice. Theodore kept quiet, looking away and saying nothing. His lips mounting on silent. A nudge on his shoulder tried to get his attention, a nudge made by one of the escorts at his sides standing to keep him cooperative. Another nudge knocked on his shoulder harder than before seems to perfect the lie cooking up in his brain as he blurted his response, “There’s nothing much. We only talked about what she has miss out on in my life when I thought she was dead.” He said to Missy in an unusual rise of his vocal tone, looking her straight in the eyes before talking. Missy stared deeper, her eyes catching the fidgeting of his fingers laced together on his thighs. She knew he was lying, then it came to her head on perfectly how to attack and call it ou
Chapter 48As they walked through the hallway heading out of the school. Bryan showed up from nowhere, his figure standing in the way of letting Missy move further. Missy moved to the side wanting to ignore and walk past him, he slide with her to the left where she moved to blocking her from walking further. “We have to talk Missy please.” He sorted to touch her shoulder as she jerked backwards before the hands could touch her.“Don’t you dare!” Her gaze moved to the hands that were about touching her, glaring at them with her index raised up in warning. “Missy I said I’m sorry, let’s talk this through. I’m really sorry, we should talk about this. I’m really sorry.” Bryan pushed, supporting his persistency with apology that only pushed more on Missy’s button. “Get out of my face before I do something abusive that we both might not like.” She warned, sounding serious with her gaze facing the ground, her hands falling to her side. Her fingers curled, balling into a fist that clung t
Chapter 49Theodore was ushered in. Missy led them straight to a vacant room in the mansion. He was made to sit down. “Give me your phone.” Missy asked for the asset once again, knowing he had indirectly refuse to give the last time she asked. “I don’t have it with me. I left it in my bag at school.” He replied, resting on the bed’s headboard with a blank face directed at nowhere except for Missy’s face. “If you think that I’m going to be believe that then you’re sick. Search him guys.” Missy said before giving the guys go ahead to search him. “No no no-“ his words were cut short as they gripped his hands keeping it bayed behind him. Jace kept him still while Mason go on searching his body, at his pocket was the phone he lied that he left in school. Mason took out the phone stretching it to Missy. “Thank you.” She mouthed at him, collecting the Samsung mobile and pressing on the button that brings the screen to light to go through it. “Tell me your password.” She demanded seeing
Chapter 50Missy sprang up from where she sat going to Jace. “Really? Are you for real?” She got to him, asking with disbelief. “Here, he didn’t wipe everything on his iCloud as guessed and it’s was backed up so I just retrieved everything. Take a look like you wanted ma’am.” He gave her the phone. “Oh please. You’re not only older than me but I kinda consider you as a friend now. Call me Missy, and if you want I can call you Uncle Jace. Thank you so much for doing this for me.” She looked up at him with a face expressing her appreciation so much. “Oh it’s nothing.” He responded, obviously flattered looking at the beautiful face looking up at him. Wow she’s so pretty he couldn’t help his eyes from noticing her. Her well shaped round face that housed a beautiful well curved brows, her set of enchanting hazel orbs, then to perfectly moulded nose, then her small cute lips. Missy looked away from him, her attention going to the phone. However, Jace couldn’t help his eyes that glued t
Chapter 51Missy was dumbfounded, everyone was shocked and astonished listening to him confess to all he did.Missy really thought he doesn’t have the wicked mind and would just be the harmless brother she’s going to convince her father to take in and sheltered since he is his son after they are done dealing with his mother. If she understood him clearly. It has been four years since her mother was gone, a whole four years when she really thought it’s just for some months or at least just a year. Her mother would have returned and the witch would have been done with their family if it wasn’t for him who wanted her to suffer; his sister that get to lived the pretty life he craved.He took his time thinking about the perfect revenge and he was glad when he did. He told his mother what he wanted and she agreed decided to stay longer than expected or wanted in Missy’s life since her presence was not even suspected and everything is pretty normal. And when he asked what the revenge is, h
Chapter 52Missy was done explaining everything to her father and Thea. Jericho could not believe his ears after hearing everything, he had also listened to the explanation. Theodore was now locked in down the basement. Missy had use what she experienced recently as a part of keeping him uncomfortable. He was tied all over and left there on the floor unable to move and just breathing. Silently he cussed out in low voice at Missy.Davis was exceptionally quiet, unable to say anything in acknowledgment to Missy’s explanation. Shocked deep into his bones, and highly disappointed in himself. He claimed to love her, they were married for so long and yet she was gone for years, for so long and he has no idea.“So what are we going to do? My brother is here, you said something about tracking?” Thea’s voice interrupted the silence everyone seems to be drowned in. Even Missy, everything is still as hard as a rock for her body to digest. The fact that she doesn’t have her natural face anymor
Chapter 53 Throughout the ride back to the mansion. Missy was quiet, a gloomy expression sitting on her face. She couldn’t get the letter she read out of her head nor her mind. She wouldn’t blame her, this was their fault. Years were gone and didn’t notice the person with them was an imposter. She could only imagine how hurt she is, how heartbroken she is. Her father was the most broken after he read the letter, how she had written in there to let him know how much she now hates him and it is justifiable. Davis was beyond broken, his eyes blood red wanting to let out the tears hidden in them. He has an agenda of never displaying his vulnerability, he would rather do it in private. He held himself together blowing everything out inside, his teeth sinking deep into his bottom lips, the upper pursed out to match his glumly faced. Missy had told Jericho to go on with tracking Delaney, the priority switching from getting her mother back and just getting both seized by the law like t
Chapter 54 Missy came out of the bathroom looking freshened with a towel on her head drying her wet hair that sticks down all over some part of her face and her shoulder. A towel was also around her body as she went to the dressing room. There was a new setting in the room, a female closet was now available and it takes no one to inform her that it is for her. She cleaned up herself cladding up in pink loose shirt on a blue colored pencil jeans that hung right on her curves. She came out of the dressing room well dressed and freshened up. Her escorts vanished the moment they got home and her company was once again occupied by Diane who seem to have become the personal maid that is said to be getting assigned to her. As she sat on the bed picking up her phone to log into her account on the media, especially to her school’s blog. She knew things would be hot right there because of her breakup and the issue with Anna. The school is ending in few weeks and she can’t believe a scand
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
