Rex's POV

“I birthed you, Rex. I was punished by the sight of your growing organ for about fifteen years. You can't talk to me about privacy when I know virtually everything about you.”

She had a point. But I was too riled up to even listen to her.

“Knowing everything about me isn't a criteria for getting rid of my privacy, mum. Come on, say what you have to say and let me dress up in peace.”

If she had heard me speak, she didn't care to acknowledge it. She continued speaking, refusing to even care if I was well dressed or not.

“Business at home is getting stale, Rex. I'm needed in Cleveland. Safe to say that I'll be out of your hair soon. I'll have breakfast before I leave though. There, we can discuss going forward. You need to find a way to bring her home. That's the most important thing at the moment.”

I sighed. Just talking about Elena made me anxious all over again. Her being around reminded me of my past and everything that I had lost. Everything I was trying so hard to get a

  • The Alpha's Hot Chase After Divorce    Chapter 158

    Rex's POVI took the seat next to Clark, who was taking the munching of the cylinder filled with Pringles in his hand so seriously, while using the other hand to control the steering wheel. “You've never been able to do without eating. Makes me wonder if you can go a day without food.”“Eating helps me rewind, Rex. It's good for my soul. I can see you're pleased that your mother is leaving, by the way. I knew how uncomfortable you were to find out that she was in town.”I grinned. “You have no idea. Her just being around me makes me go crazy. She's on my neck all the time. I think I'll stick to her being in Cleveland.”He laughed with me, and we were so focused on our emotions that we almost missed it until it happened. The car was a green Corolla, and there was a dent in the sides of the car. I wouldn't have noticed it, but it was impossible because of the speed at which the driver was using on the road. He was driving so fast that I couldn't even see the face of the driver fully.

    Rex's POV“Come on man, let's get to the hospital. Enough thinking from you, you know how to overdo it if we're being honest. Come on, let's start moving. My day at work was suspended. Until I made sure that my mother was stable, I knew I wouldn't leave the hospital. KINGSELY'S POVI sip the wine in my glass, waiting silently. There was a television in my room, but I was tired of watching it. There was something on my mind, a huge task that I knew I wouldn't rest until I was assured that it had been done. That the deal had been done. Coming from Cleveland down to New Kingston hadn't been easy. I had to make sure that there was evidence of me leaving Cleveland, and that my whereabouts were unknown. I had only one mission. Only one thing had made me leave my comfortable home in Cleveland to come down here. Rex king. The name alone was a pain in my ass. And I had never forgotten. It might have happened a few years ago, but I had never forgotten. How he had killed my mate, Maya. How

    Collins’s POVI stared at the news, and goosebumps filled my flesh momentarily. I had heard of the ruthlessness of Kingsley, the rich businessman and the tycoon who not only controlled the business world, but also had his hands in the streets of the underworld as well. I could see clearly why he was rated as one of the most dangerous men in the country. As a member of the six, I knew what I was getting to by joining them. But if that was the only way I could get my revenge against Owen and the rest of the Bohen family, then I was willing to be part of them. I was willing to do what they wanted to get my revenge for what Owen and his friends had done to my sister years ago. After going through the news, I managed to eat the food in front of me even though my appetite was gone. It was clear that Kingsley had set his mind upon the path that was vengeance. And yes, I was willing to follow him on that path. At that moment, my phone rang, drawing me out of my reverie. It was him again,

    Collins’s POVThe meeting at Kingsley's house is a short one. As usual, he bosses over everything, the proceedings included. He is a very egocentric and arrogant man, I note. But he has every right to be. His fame precedes him, his deeds speak for him. He is a great man, and the entire members of the six acknowledge it through their silence as he speaks. “Lastly, as you all leave this house, remember to watch over your backs. You all have one enemy or the other. Your enemy is my enemy as well. We need to be very cautious. It is necessary, very important as well. Now, you can all go. Have drinks at the bar, take anything you can from the bar, I'll take care of the bills.”I exited the house, then made my way out before I ran into Jayson again. I was tired of listening to how he wanted to know the details and wanted me to point fingers, looking for a name to attach to his son's death. I didn't want to be responsible for the rage he was going to have when he finally found out. Climbing

    Collins’s POV Her curls framed her face beautifully, and her curves were in full display in the gown that grazed the floor gracefully. Damn, she was beautiful. I made sure I dragged her chair for her, before proceeding to sit on mine. “I've heard of the elegance of Pleasure Gardens. I must say, it beats the beauty of the Eleven by a mile.”I smiled positively. I was getting somewhere. Her telling me that she loved the location of our date was a huge step forward. I wasn't going to stop trying until I made sure that she was mine. “Exactly. It crossed my mind the first day I came here, to be honest. I was intrigued by the design on the walls. And the environment as well, very serene. It's a very beautiful place.” I replied. When the waitress came to take our order, she was telling me happily how the kids were gradually becoming themselves, even without drugs. I nodded, pleased to hear that. At least, getting her to tell me things that concerned her children was another step in the

    Clark’s POVI had made sure not to disclose the fact that Mrs Alice was in the hospital and she had been shot. It was clear that he didn't want Elena to worry. Her sick children were already enough of a burden for her to bear. Trying to tell her that her mother-in-law was also injured and had nearly been riddled by bullets wasn't typical news for a woman who had sick children. Smiling at a tired looking Rex, I decided to go straight to the point. I ran my hand through my hair, then stood before him, deciding to tell him my desired destination. “Rex? I think I need to see Marie today. I can find my way to the house, take a hurried bath, then get to her place in a few minutes.”His raised eyebrow told me all I needed to know. How was I considering leaving him alone in the hospital with his injured mother? But I knew that I couldn't control the urge anymore. I needed to see the woman I had fallen head over heels for. “I can imagine what it feels like not seeing her for a single day.

    Rex's POV“Doctor probably gave her some sleeping tablets and injections. She needs her rest as she has lost a lot of blood. I honestly can't believe these people went after my own mother, Clark. Thinking about it makes me want to buy a gun and start shooting at everybody in the street…”Clark had my hands, then patted me on the shoulder with a big smile. “You will do no such thing, Mr King. You're going to stay here, and drink your coffee.”I nodded. I was willing to remain calm as long as she was still alive. I could take that, I could manage it. “You went home, right? How was the visit to Marie? How is Elena, the kids?”From his facial expression, I knew that Elena hadn't even inquired about me. I was okay with it. Asking her to pretend if she cared for me when she didn't was way off the hook. Even if the feelings weren't mutual, at least thinking of her most of the time made me realize that I loved and wanted her in my life, even though I had made some mistakes in the past. “Th

    Logan’s POV It was obvious that just like I was, they were all afraid and concerned, which to me, was a very good thing. At least, it made sure that we were all on the same page, the same wavelength. I entered the establishment, then slipped into the elevator. Finding the button that led to the room where we always gathered for our meetings was easier to find. In a few minutes, I was airborne, allowing the elevator to lead me on. I nodded to a few workers dressed in the Bohen family workwear. I acknowledged their greetings as well. Closing the soundproof door, I was finally alone with my friends. I nodded at Owen, who sat a distance from the huge table, a glass of wine in his hands. Next to him was Patricia and Helen. Peterson and Jack took up the center of the table, both of them looking busily into their phones. I slammed my briefcase onto the table, grateful that I was able to get their attention in one swoop. “I called this meeting because as you all know, something needs to

    Kingsley's POV I was happy with his answer. If he wanted it as much as I wanted it, then we were getting it. I wanted him to know it as well. "The exact thing I wanted to hear. If you want this Governorship as much as I want it, then we're getting it. You're the perfect leader for this city, Alphonso. I've watched you, and you deserve to be more than just a millionaire. You're a born leader. Now, select a date to announce your candidacy."I watched him while he thought about it, glancing briefly at his laptop to probably check the calendar and his schedule. He thought briefly, then looked at me with the confidence of a man that had just discovered his purpose. "Tomorrow will do just fine."I nodded with a smile. The Governorship throne was within our reach. It was only a matter of time now. Rex's POVAs the bakery equipment was being moved out, I sat across from it in a restaurant, a cup of iced tea in one hand, and tacos in the other. "I still can't think of a perfect gift, Cla

    Rex's POV Bruce McNeil adjusted his Italian suit, then continued speaking, his hands gesturing as he did so. "My men will start moving the bakery tools and equipment as soon as possible."I shook his hand firmly. We had a deal.As soon as Bruce McNeil and his men were out of earshot, Clark was beside me in an instant. "A hundred and fifty grand, Rex? That was way too much. How are we going to recover that?" That was his job. Even though he was a little bit harsh, I was okay with it. It was his job to guide me and protect me if need be. "We might not recover it, but I'm definitely not allowing any harm to befall my kids and Elena. We're the only ones they have, Clark. We need to protect them."With those words, I ended the conversation, prompting him to focus on the documents that were being brought in. I was going to do anything to protect my children and Elena, even if it was at the expense of a few dollars. KINGSLEY'S POVAs soon as the phone was found, I began making calls.

    Rex's POVWell, it seemed I was in luck. Without waiting for an answer from the woman, I made my way towards the figure in an Italian suit, ignoring the guards around him. I was instantly shoved by the guard next to him, who did nothing to hide the revolver that he now had in his right hand."Hey, hey, hey. Easy on him, Crawford. Young man, who are you? I'm sorry, but you don't just walk up to people anymore, the city we live in is a mess."I smiled, then faced him squarely, ignoring the guard whose name I had just discovered was Crawford. "I'm Rex King, sir. And I've been trying to reach you for the past week."His eyes flew open, widening as soon as he heard my name. "Rex king? One of the greatest alphas to come out of the land of Cleveland? I'm sorry, it has been a very hectic week. You own The Eleven, right? When I heard that it was bought by a new entrepreneur, I was confused. Until I heard the name. You're a legend, man."I smiled at Clark, then shrugged."Thank you, Mr Bruc

    COLLINS'S POVI nodded, agreeing with Dahlia. I knew a few vendors, the man that I had purchased my bike from, he was a friend. Carl McDonald. He had a lot of good cars in stock. I could get a cheap deal from him. Even if it wasn't cheap, I was still going to get it. Dahlia was right. Maybe it was going to be alright if I spiced up Elena's life a bit. "I think that's a good idea, Dahlia. That's a clear and obvious reason why I came to you. You know, these kinds of things, it's always been better when you ask a woman. You're a woman like she is."Dahlia outstretched her arms, a huge smile on her face. "Well, what can I say? You know I did work like that once for a man, helping him decide gifts to get his wife while they worked on their reconciliation process. I'm guessing that's where I developed my talent for knowing the specific gifts to give out to people."I dropped the empty bottle of sprite after downing the contents. Then I yawned. "I think I'll be leaving now, Dahlia. And

    COLLINS'S POVWhile the news of the Governor's plane crash made its rounds around the city, I paid a visit to the house I had secured for Dahlia, my sister and her children to live. I just had to knock once, and the door was opened by Dahlia herself, dressed in an apron that was stained thoroughly with dough. She smelt of eggs, flour and milk, and I knew why. It was Saturday, and she was probably having a cookout with the kids, a practice that our mother had employed when we were younger. "Collins! We've not seen you in days! Where have you been? How have you been? Children, it's your uncle. Uncle Collins is here!"I smiled at the excitement in her voice, wondering how she was going to feel if I suddenly told her that I had been involved in the crash that had landed the Governor's plane in the river. "Well, you know what they say. I went on a personal retreat. I went to discover a bit of myself.""Uncle! Welcome uncle Collins!" It was Felix, his loud voice making my ear hurt momen

    Rex's POV"I think I should see my grandchildren one more time before going to Cleveland. What do you think, Rex? They deserve to know that their grandma is leaving. And Elena too, bless her poor soul."It was my mother's voice, and I tried to ignore the fact that I wanted her gone already. Her being around only complicated things. With the death threats I was receiving, the insecurity of the state and the upcoming elections, things were surely going to get messy. "These eggs are so good. Everything in general, you know. With Clark here, you don't need a chef around. You don't need these helpers, you know." She said again, dumping the eggs into her mouth.We were in the dining room, I sat at the head, Clark beside me, and my mother directly opposite me. A few years ago, the dining room would've been filled with my wife and two children. But at the moment, I didn't even know if they belonged to me. "Thank you, Mrs King." Was Clark's curt reply. "You know, mum, you've been talking

    Rex's POV The line went dead, and I stared at the phone in my hand. No matter how hard I tried, I could see that she was hell bent on making sure that those boundaries were felt and were put in place. Was there still hope when it came to her? Clark and my mother seemed to still believe, but I knew I had stopped believing a long time ago. Just then, the door opened, revealing Clark. He was dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans, two brown paper bags in his hands. He was supposed to get us specially prepared Chinese food from a Chinese restaurant, and I wondered why he had taken so long. "Come on, man. What has taken you so long? How's the food? I hope it's scorching hot, I need it that way."He nodded, then handed a pack to me which I accepted willingly. "I went to see Marie along the road. Decided to tell her the dangers lurking. She deserves to know. At least, one of them has to. And we can trust her not to tell Elena, but keep an eye on the kids as well. Which to me, is satisfac

    MARIE'S POV "Death threats?" I managed to voice out, my words coming out in the form of a croak. It was tiring. I could only imagine the reaction of Elena if she heard such news. She was going to go hysterical with worry. "It's actually connected to Rex, but they want to harm the twins. Not on my watch, Marie. I would rather die than see anything happen to those children, Marie. And I won't take it lightly on anybody I catch around them." He paused when the waiter arrived with the iced tea. I accepted it with a smile, sipping instantly. The chilliness and the flavor hit me, and I recognized that the news I had just received had made me slightly dehydrated."However, we're making plans. Serious plans. At the moment, we've decided to take the bakery just opposite the house. From there, I believe that we can strictly monitor the house and pounce on anybody around it."It sounded like a good plan. I was scared. Not even for my life, but the life of the little kids and the life of Elen

    Elena's POV"Well, that simply means you're the mother of special children, Elena." Marie began, looking at me as I tried in vain to reshape the biscuits that had seemed to go badly because the dough hadn't been well prepared. "Yes, I know that. They've always been special children from the start, Marie. I know you remember that. The problem now is their father. Is he a special man? I doubt it. He didn't believe me even though he knew the love we shared was extremely genuine. Forgiveness is hard, Marie."I managed to complete, staring at the biscuits before I put them into the oven. Marie was beside me in an instant, tickling me. "I know that forgiveness is hard, but he's the mother of your kids, Elena. You have to consider that. Since he saw you, he's done nothing but try to be a good father, and also have you on his side in support as well. But I can't tell if you're going to support him..."Something inside of me snapped. Why did everybody derive joy in telling me what to do all
