Chapter 68 Davis glanced at the direction where the footsteps was approaching from to see the man he was least expecting truly showing up.Tyler trudged further into the living room coming to seat on a chair opposite him on a different side.His awesome nose titling scent soon dominated the atmosphere, and a sniff is enough to announce his presence. He looks dull taking his seat, right on the end of the three seater couch that sat opposite the single couch Davis was on. His arm resting on the armrest.“I don’t want anything happening to my wife, which is why I’m here instead of her. I will help you get your wife back as well as whatever she was going to help you get back.” Tyler told him, seeming unbothered with his gaze rested and plain at the situation. “My wife hates me now, she doesn’t want me anymore and told us not to come get her. We’re just trying to apprehend those monsters that ruined our life.” Davis said back to him, feeling an amount of stiffness overwhelmed him after
Chapter 69 A swift silence drifted the moment as he picked up his phone answering the call with his palm held out to everyone to stop them from talking.“We need to talk.” A female voice boomed through the phone’s speaker right into the ear it was placed upon. It was familiar, definitely like a voice he’s heard before, took some seconds but he recognized it soon to be Delaney’s voice. His expression turn sour immediately, as if she could see his face through the phone call. “What do you want?” His voice was the same, sour and cold to the hearing as he retorted back into the phone.“A chat, a physical one. I was suppose to have it with your daughter, but she stood me up, so it’s not really bad if I want the chat with her father instead.” She reasoned, her voice seeming to be pinching a nerve in Davis’ body as his eyes kept twitching with face scrunching up to hide his blowing cool. “You wicked psychotic bitch, you want to have a chat with me after everything you’ve done to me.” He b
Chapter 70Missy found exactly what she was looking for in her words. It looks like a mere threat, but it is not and she better be on a lookout for any equivocal entity precisely their activities that depicts a joint secrecy towards pulling her down. “If you’re done, the living room is waiting to accommodate you so do the honor of seeing yourself out.” Missy hinted for her departure, keeping her gaze off her and shifting her focus to something else. She could only guess what is happening right now with her family. Does her father knows if she’s okay and would say to the rest. She had no idea whether or not Tyler phoned to inform them about her guaranteed safety. What would be happening to her now if Tyler hadn’t come in term to rescue her? She could only imagine, would they go rounds on her like they thought Mason was going? Was she captured to be killed and is Delaney behind it? Missy had a lot of questions that can’t be answered in her mind, she needs to get out of the house an
Chapter 71 Diane came back with her phone, she gave it to her making sure her action were polished with politeness and respect when doing it. “I have also served the guards a drink stoned with sleeping pills. Effective ones, they should be out in just one minute.” Diane said to her, the news having a smile broke on Missy’s face looking at her. “Thank you so much Diane.” She grinned with gratitude expressed at her, checking out the phone to see how many calls she’ve missed. There was one notification notifying a text message from Thea. She clicked on it, viewing a location. It took her a second before she understood, it is the location where she is abducted. Missy mentally flaunted her best friend’s smartness for sharing the location. Just leaving her messaging app her phone vibrated starting to ring with the caller showing an unknown caller with no ID. She was hesitant about picking, but gave in laterly accepting the call. She waited for whoever is calling to start the conversat
Chapter 72Davis appreciated Tyler once more for letting him talk to his daughter. He began feigning the niceness so he can later discuss about the separation of him and his daughter, and then talk about him restoring the favor he did for him. He nodded keeping mute with his eyes focused on the road. Jericho is gone already, and they were on their way to meet him. Like Davis informed Missy, Tyler had call his men to fill up the area. On his arrival, they would unexpectedly bombard them.“Why were you bent on marrying my daughter?” Davis asked, glancing at him and to his hand smartly handling the car wheel; he had believe him to be a novice in driving because of who he is and his reputation. He is a billionaire, born into a wealthy family itself. These are kind of things people do for him, if not all. He was a bit surprised when he volunteered to control the wheel. “Your daughter is pretty, is it bad that I chose to be her husband so quickly before somebody else take the role.” He r
Chapter 73“Hey! Is anybody around! I need to fucking ease myself!” Thea screamed out from the chair she was tied to.Struggling for freedom she wiggled the balance trying to break free. “Hello!” She yelled louder than before, her hair falling over her face that had her swinging her head to get the strands off. “Stop fucking yelling, this is not a fucking bar or someplace you can fucking yell!” A male finally answered her, speaking to her in a scolding tone as he came in further to the corner they had her constrained to. “Well I need to ease myself,” Missy told him, the strands coming off her eyes to see the hunk of a guy in front of him. She found herself staring with parted lips admiring the fellow’s appearance. He had an haircut leaving his hair short and closely bald. Tattoos were visible on his neck going deeper into his body that look exactly like a gym itself with the rimmed arms, broad shoulders, toned muscles and dripping abs. He casually claded in a short sleeve shirt o
Chapter 74 Missy was closing up on the location sent to her when her phone began ringing, it was a call from a stranger with no caller ID.She slowed down her driving pace picking the phone up as she slid on the screen answering the call. With one hand handling the steering wheel, the other held the phone against her hair as she spoke into the speaker, “Hello, who are you?” She asked out loud to the phone. “I-…. This- …. Is….” The male voice speaking was unclear and it might be due to the unstable phone connection.“Hello please I can’t hear you clearly.” Missy said again, perhaps if the other party could hear her would be prompted to go to a place where the service is clear and would be able to speak early.She was distracted with the phone car she didn’t notice that car at the front double crossing her lane for her to run into. She hit on the brake abruptly putting an end to the call distracting her attention. She looked through the glass seeing the action was intentional, the ca
Chapter 75Davis placed the phone on speaker so the latter speaking on the phone would be audible to Tyler’s hearing. Tyler signaled to everyone to return back to safety. Luckily they didn’t lost much to the explosion, they lost just a few of about three members who were late running out of the warehouse. He walked by Davis side, both returning back to the car they transported with. “What do you want?” Davis asked, going patient like requested of him to be. “Your wife is right here with me with two other people your daughter care about, it will be foolish of you to play smart and not listen to me when I can easily end their lives. I will need you to go home and get those documents that were returned to you, get them and quietly come to the new address I will send to you without anyone. Failure to come alone means your wife dying forever, and come with your daughter. To spice things up, I have your secret that I’m willing to release to the public if you take longer than I want. A li
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
