CHAPTER 16: Present
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"What do you want?" Tyler asked with hostility.
Tyler could hear scoffs from the other line of the call.
"Did you like my present, Tyler?" Said Rhyan.
Tyler couldn't see Rhyan's facial expression, but he could tell just how sinister he looks like at the moment. Even when they are still hanging together during their college days, Tyler has seen Rhyan's dark side several times, so Rhyan acting this way never surprised Tyler at all.
"So it's you! You're the one who sent Olivia to approach me in the company!"
"That's right! I told her you'd give her a position in your company as long as she asked you to." He answered.
"Now I know why she suddenly showed up. But Rhyan, don't you think your present's a bit too lousy? Want me to give you a real present?" Said Tyler in a confident tone.
This made Rhyan frown, he couldn't think of anything that Tyler might use against him. He was uneasy about the accident that took place fiv

Rhyan stared at Aubrey's worried face hatefully. He never thought he'd be deceived for five years."What's wrong with you? You're sweating..." Aubrey gently wiped Rhyan's sweat with a towel.Without Rhyan answering her question, Aubrey can tell just by looking at his eyes that he's filled with rage. She knew something was up, but she somehow felt that she shouldn't ask Rhyan more about it."How about you sit first? I'll go get you something to drink to cool your head..." She said and quickly dashed inside their house to get some water.There's a table with chairs around it in their garden. They drink coffee or tea there while the twins play, whenever Rhyan takes a day off.When Aubrey came back into the garden with a glass of water, she saw Rhyan taking a deep breath trying to calm himself down sitting on the chair."Here, drink it." She said handing Rhyan a glass of water.Rhyan took the glass of water and drank it all in one go. He

"Did you see Rhyan's face when he saw my present?" Asked Tyler to Jonas. He asked Jonas to send the box to Rhyan without getting caught. And after he's successfully delivered the present, he parked his car somewhere near Rhyan's company as per Tyler's order to see how Rhyan would react upon seeing his present. And to Jonas's surprise, Rhyan was fuming in anger after he saw Tyler's present. "Can I ask what present you sent him?" Jonas asked before answering Tyler's question. Tyler's face turned ugly upon hearing his question. But since Jonas has always been a loyal friend and a reliable secretary to him, he thought maybe he should share something funny with him. "It's the DNA test results." He told Jonas. Jonas was startled at his answer, he wasn't expecting Tyler to give Rhyan the DNA test results so soon. When Jonas saw the results, he was perplexed. How could Rhyan not know that Aubrey's children aren't his? And how did Aubrey not suspect Ty

"I asked you to get the DNA test for me and the twins. You gave me a result saying they were mine and now another DNA test results came knocking on my door saying they weren't mine! Are you fucking kidding me, Glenn? All this time I thought they were my children!" Rhyan yelled out of rage. Glenn fell silent for a moment. He knew he's at fault. He gave fake DNA test results to his friend and never once tried to tell him the truth. And his friend learned the truth from someone else at that. "And then I even found out the truth from the children’s biological father! Do you know how hurt I was when I saw the DNA test he gave me? I lost myself because of the pain!... I love the children, Glenn. But now I don't know anymore... For five years, for five years I cared for and loved that man's children. The children of the man I hate, Glenn. THE MAN I HATE!" Rhyan exclaimed. "I'm sorry..." Glenn uttered. "SORRY? DO YOU THINK YOUR SORRY CAN FIX EVERYTHING? I was

THE NEXT DAY Aubrey slept alone on the big bed last night. She feels so restless and wasn't able to fall asleep until it's 3 am. When she woke up, it's already nine o'clock in the morning. "Buzz, Buzz" Her cellphone vibrates. "Hello?" She answered the call. "Rhyan sent the twins to the airport when you were asleep. But there's no need to worry, they're with me." Said the person from the other line of the call. "That's good. I need them away from this place anyway... How about the thing I asked you to do?" Aubrey said. "Don't worry, everything's going according to your plan." A smirk formed on Aubrey's face upon hearing what the person from the other line of the call said. "That's good then...Thank you, Shane." Aubrey said and ended the call. "I'll make them pay for what they did to me..." She said with an evil smirk. Turns out, Shane was the one who called her. They've been working together s

They went to a different place to eat their launch. Tyler wouldn't want any of Rhyan's people to see him and Aubrey eating together. He just wanted to eat and spend time with Aubrey peacefully and knowing Rhyan's personality, things wouldn't end well if Rhyan caught them together.When they reached the restaurant, Tyler immediately ordered food for them to eat. Though Aubrey planned to make a fool out of Tyler, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when everything Tyler ordered, was her favorite dishes.They were talking and laughing as they were eating. The whole time, Aubrey felt disgusted at Tyler's smiling face that she struggles to swallow the food in her mouth. Tyler acted the way he was years ago when he was still wooing Aubrey. He was kind, gentle, and caring. One wouldn't feel uncomfortable around him, instead, they would want to get closer to him. He was the kind of man Aubrey can lean on and put her trust. But now, no matter how good Tyler treats he

When Aubrey arrived at their house, the maid told her to go directly to Rhyan’s study as he instructed so she did. But what dawned on her was her pictures with Tyler scattered on the table with Rhyan looking at them with a looming expression. Aubrey was in shock when she saw the pictures. She knew Rhyan hired someone to follow her and watch her every move and she thought she has shaken off the spy Rhyan, but she was utterly mistaken. Rhyan hired not one, not two, but five people to watch Aubrey’s every move. Rhyan has been suspicious of Aubrey’s behavior since she suddenly asked him to go on a vacation, and accidentally bumped into Tyler. “Care to explain why you two are together?” Rhyan asked staring at Aubrey’s eyes. It’s as if he’s trying to see through her body and soul. “I bumped into him outside the Ritz hotel…” Aubrey replied.Rhyan’s brows furrowed, he couldn’t help but get more suspicious. “And what are you doing there?” He asked p

Yet, out of anger, she went straight to Tyler's office without thinking clearly. She opened the door to Tyler's office rather harshly which startled Tyler. "What the?... Don't you know how to knock?" Said Tyler. "I don't have time for unnecessary things!" Fiona exclaimed. "And you have so much time barging in my office?" Tyler said raising a brow. "I came here to talk to you abou-" She said but Tyler cut her off. "Is this about Aubrey again?" He asked annoyed. "Yes, it is! Are you really going to steal Aubrey from Rhyan?!" Fiona said through gritted teeth. Tyler furrowed his brows, "Is this the reason why you came barging in my office like you own the place?" He uttered. "Why? It's not like it's my first time being here!" Fi

Rhyan and Aubrey together with the kids are having a peaceful meal when the policemen suddenly barged inside the house and arrest Rhyan.Rhyan was dumbfounded, everything happened so quickly that he wasn't able to react the way he used to. And when he's got back to his senses, he's already brought in the police station."WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Rhyan yelled.He still has yet to understand the reason why he's being held. And just as he was about to slap a policeman for going against him, a familiar voice spoke behind him which stopped him from doing anything."I wouldn't do that if I were you," Shane said with the Morris couple following behind."W-What..." Rhyan stuttered in surprise.When he's heard Mrs. Morris say that she's Aubrey's mother in the ball, he had a hunch that it could be Mrs. Morris's doing that his company ha

“I never had a mother. And if I ever had one, it would certainly be not you, Mrs. Morris. I think you got the wrong person. I’ll excuse myself then.” Aubrey said and made her way to the door.Rhyan immediately went down the stairs and before Aubrey could reach the door, Rhyan grabbed her arm.“Where do you think you’re going? Have I not told you to stay put?” He said.“Oh my god… What was that just now? Is she really Mrs. Morris’s daughter?”“Didn’t she say she isn’t though?”“Maybe she ran away and refused to acknowledge her own mother?”“Who knows…”“She must be Mrs. Morris’s illegitimate daughter.”“Who cares if she’s an illegitimate child? Her mother’s on top of the food chain...”“Yeah, right!”Rhyan looked around and everyone is lookin

DAY OF THE BALL"You look gorgeous as always." Said Rhyan looking up at Aubrey as she walks down the stairs.Aubrey just rolled her eyes and ignored him. She walked past him and went inside the car on her own. Rhyan couldn't help but sigh, he just followed her and they then both made their way to the venue." Announcing the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson." Said the person guarding the door.Aubrey and Rhyan walked inside and then suddenly, Aubrey froze and Rhyan stopped after noticing her reaction."What's the matter?" He asked with a frown.That snapped Aubrey and she answered stutteringly."N-No... No-Nothing..." She said and looked away. Obviously, something smell's fishy.Aubrey stiffened when she realized they are heading in the direction of the person she was so shocked to see.“Where are we going?” She asked nervously.“To greet the host. Where else do you think?” Rhyan

"Hello, Aubrey. It's been a while..." Said Rhyan walking towards Aubrey majestically.Aubrey and the kids are back in Rhyan's house while Shane was sent to the hospital. After the incident. Aubrey explained to the police that Tyler hadn't kidnapped them or were they ever kidnapped. But contrary to her explanations, she was forcefully brought back home to their house.Shane and the kids are also brought with them, but Shane was brought directly to the hospital. Turns out she was raped by her ex. The one who informed Rhyan about their whereabouts. He was tempted by the money Rhyan offered to the person who can find his family so he immediately told Rhyan about them. And before he took the money away, he asked Rhyan if he could have his way with Shane.It's not like he has never touched Shane the whole time they were dating years ago, it's just that, he loved Shane so much, yet she left with another guy and he hated her for it. He raped her and was nowhere near gen

"WHERE ARE THEY?!!" Rhyan shouted in anger upon seeing the room where he held Shane and the kids captive empty."Kai took them..." Glenn replied."Where is he?""I'm here..." Kai replied upon entering the room. He's just arrived."Where are the kids? And Shane?" Rhyan said raising a brow with an inflamed facial expression."I sent them to Tyler...""What? Are you out of your mind? Do you realize how much effort I put to get them?""I know,""THEN WHY?!!!" Rhyan yelled at Kai's expressionless face."Because I have a plan that will take Tyler out of your way..." Kai answered which surprised Rhyan."What plan?" Rhyan asked with a frown never leaving his face."We can frame him about the kidnapping and put him to jail."Rhyan's once enraged face turned into a sinister smile. He can't deny that Kai's idea is great. The police are on Rhyan's side, all he has to do is to make it look like it was Tyler
THE LOST INNOCENCE CHAPTER 32
Before the sun rises, Aubrey and Tyler heard the screeching sound of vehicles approaching. Tyler hurriedly went to the window to check, just in case, it’s another group of black-suited men sent by Rhyan. He wasn’t wrong about the guys from those vehicles wearing a black suit but those aren’t Rhyan’s men, it’s Kai’s and Kai is also one of them. There are two vans and both are filled with his men. When the vehicles stopped right in front of the house Tyler and Aubrey are currently staying in, it is still dark but the sun will rise in just a couple more minutes. “Take them out,” Kai ordered his men. After he commanded his men, his men immediately took the twins and Shane out of the car and place them inside the house as they are all unconscious. “I did what you’ve asked, but I don’t like what you offered to do in exchange,” Kai said. “Then, what is it that you want?” Tyler asked with a frown. “Go and see our father. He’s been asking for y

"No, no! This can't be real... Rhyan can't possibly locate them in that place so soon." Aubrey said as she looked at the picture with her trembling hands. "Does anyone else know they'll be staying there?" "N-No... Only the house owner, Shane's old acquaintance. But he does not know who we are, he only knows Shane so he can't be the one who's informed Rhyan about their location." "I think he does. Look!" Tyler said. He showed Aubrey trending news using his phone. Turns out Rhyan has let the public know about Aubrey's disappearance. In the news, he made it seem like Aubrey's been kidnapped and so were their children. And whoever could lead him to them will receive one million dollars. "I think everyone knows. Your face is everywhere..." "Damn! I shouldn't have run away just yet... If only I could bear staying by his side for another night this wouldn't have had to happen." "You should have told me beforehand so I could help

"You can count on me, I will help you to the best of my ability," Tyler said as he hugs Aubrey. Aubrey let herself cry in Tyler's arms. It has been so long since they've been this intimate with each other and Tyler utterly broke Aubrey five years ago but their connection with each other remains. Aubrey too has no idea why, but she feels safe in Tyler's embrace. Though she no longer hates him, she can't forgive him either. But still, with him by her side, she feels like she could loosen her guard down for a while and let herself free from all the accumulated pain weighing in her heart. "We found her!" Said the man with a black suit behind the tree with his phone on his ears. "Bring her to me," Rhyan said from the other line of the call. "Got it!" The man in a black suit answered and slowly walked out behind the tree. Tyler and Aubrey were utterly shocked to see a bulky man before them, not just one but there are three more behind him.
