Reynold sped across the distance as quickly as he could as he occupied himself with thoughts of whether he should go or not. However, his legs did not stop.

He jammed into her room and tried to barge into the toilet too but the door was tougher than he expected. He shook the door knob hurriedly trying to force it open but nothing happened.

"K.J! K.J!!"

He wasn't thinking right now–all that was in his mind was her safety. He didn't care what would happen after he trespassed all he just wanted to know was if she was okay.

But no matter how much he called, there wasn't a response. And then it dawned on him that she was in the bathroom. He didn't know what to do in this situation, what if she was doing something?

‘Perhaps I should just leave.”

"R...ey.”

Just when he thought that her weak voice called out to him.

He immediately began to panic and got more aggressive as he shook the door knob trying to force it open. Seeing that no matter how much he tried to force the knob it wouldn't open, Reynold stepped back and dashed forward, smashing a kick into the door and forcing it open in that instant.

Sprawling out before his eyes was Kayla on the floor, a white towel covered her breast and her body but there were still parts that were provocatively revealed, such as her thighs and a little bit of her hips.

Her skin was pristine and almost glowing, Reynold felt dehydrated and his heart began to beat faster than he could control.

He shook his head, annoyed at himself.

'Seriously guy, this is not the time for this kind of thought.'

He hurriedly bent down and lifted her carefully, making sure the towel did not fall off.

Meanwhile_

Someone was right in front of the window in a red sportscars with his binoculars.

Jay sighed.

"How did we get to this point?" He asked himself.

They had turned to leave but they were here again. Right when Kayla dropped a message, Lloyd had asked Jay to turn back and that was how they ended up being here again.

Jay shook his head. He pitied himself for being stuck with the goofiest and most jobless guy in the family. But that does not mean he didn't enjoy every moment with this same jobless guy.

"Ohhh!! He has her in his arms!” Lloyd screamed as he saw a clear visual of Kayla in Reynold's arms and as he slowly laid her on the bed.

He immediately retracted his eyes from the binoculars.

"Ah! Ah," He panted.

“What is wrong?" Jay asked, lifting his binoculars to look too but Lloyd hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't you dare! Don't you dare it!! Do you want to see my sister having sex with her husband?!" He yelled but belatedly kept his voice down.

"Oh my God! I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Lloyd said looking towards the direction of the window.

"I was worried that she might be pulling this plan because she is dead set on ruling the company but it seems I was wrong. I know she has never had a boyfriend, I've never even caught her with a man before. There's no way she would have sex with just anyone for the sake of becoming the CEO."

“Then... you think her marriage is not some contract?"

"No, that does not look to be the case. Kayla can never allow a man to be this intimate with her. If she's doing it right now, it must mean she loves this man." He said with a soft smile on his face.

Scratching his head he continued -

"Man, I thought she was deceiving everyone. I had looked forward to how I would enjoy disgracing her."

"Too bad," Jay added. He paused for a few seconds before asking. “Can we go now?"

It was cold outside, and he was already feeling sleepy.

"Yes, but this will not be the end. I must know who the hell that guy is. Who is he that he can make my sister fall head over heels for him." He clenched his fist as he spoke.

A while later they were out of the place and arrived at another sophisticated building—nestled in a secluded, primeval cove was a resort of some sort.

The exterior was a harmonious blend of natural beauty and tasteful architecture. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage, the resort was a single-story villa with a thatched roof that seemed to merge seamlessly with the verdant landscape.

Lloyd and Jay carefully walked the cobblestone path meandered through manicured gardens, leading to a wide, teakwood veranda that wrapped around the villa.

The veranda was furnished with plush outdoor seating, with two men relaxing in boxers briefs.

"Oh, you're back. I thought you said you were on your way before."

One of them said as he removed his shades and looked at Lloyd.

'Unshameful thing wearing shades in the thick of the night' Lloyd loathed at him inwardly.

"So? What is your report?”

"There is nothing to worry about. I saw them have sex. The marriage is not fake." Lloyd reported.

"Hey hey hey!" The other one shot up from where he was relaxing. "If they are having sex doesn't that mean Kay would be the first one out of all of us to give father a grandchild? What if he hands over the company to her?!”

Silence ensued for a couple of seconds then the one with the shades commanded -

"Keep watching over them and report whatever you find to us." He tapped Lloyd's shoulder as he spoke.

"You have been a very obedient brother these days. I am impressed. Don't worry, with this we will cover you up and not let father or first brother find out about the shitty things you've done."

"Thank you so much, brother."

He bowed his head with his teeth grinding against each other.

"And you Jayman! Take good care of my brother."

"Yes sir.” Jay bowed his head as he responded.

"Then, you lot excuse us." He wore his shades and returned to his seat signaling for both of them to go.

    One life ends. Another begins. Such was the world.That was what Rey was thinking as he fondled his ten-month-old baby girl distractedly. He still felt empathy toward Hamish, even though it irritated him. Hamish was his brother-in-law. He shouldn't try to kill him. Nobody's brother-in-law should try to kill him. But unfortunately, that was life. Things happened even when they were absurd, even when they where undesirable.They had charged Hamish and his aide, Sparks, with manslaughter, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder. Whenever Reynolds thought about it, he shook his head. It was bad. If either of the two men received a light sentence, it would be life. That was what Hamish got for throwing his life away. On the other hand, the world had not skipped a beat. The three of them had recovered fully (at least physically) himself, Kayla, and the Chairman. The Chairman was no longer a 'Chairman,' corporately, legally, and technically. To Reynolds he was now only a father in-

    Sparks was looking for that one lucky strike.He had tailed Hamish, parked far from sight, approached the building on foot, scaled the fence and come in unnoticed. All according to plan. He knew Hamish was with Reynolds already, and they had been speaking for a few minutes. Hopefully, the stage was well set for his arrival.He went round the building, loathing that he had to use the stairs instead of the elevator. His job always sucked and he hated it.The building was generally deserted as planned. Yes... perfect. At the bottom of the stairs he paused, said a lucky prayer, then set the timer on his watch. Ten minutes for everything... Godspeed.****Hamish and the Chairman stared at each other in bewilderment for seconds."I heard you son. Everything you said," his father told him. For a moment Hamish's mind was blank as he stood transfixed, still holding Reynolds at gun point. Slowly he collected himself, becoming even angrier."I'm not upset at you. Only disappointed. But I don't

    If there could be any reason to spare Sparks life and dispose of him, it was the fact that he had an instinct. He hadn't been a henchman these years for nothing. He knew a trap when he saw one. So, when he phoned the doctor requesting to have the package ready by noon, he became aware that he was not speaking to him.Well, technically, he was. But situationally, he wasn't. The doctor was damaged goods now. He sensed that the guy was bugged.How it happened, he had no idea. But it happened real fast.He phoned Hamish and told him. They'd have to take care of the guy, but not too soon, so they don't throw off a scent. It was a tricky situation for the tricky-minded. The better move now, Hamish told him, was to go directly for Reynolds.There were reasons for this. Beforehand, he had noticed that Kayla had vanished from the hospital ward where she was being treated. Of course, he didn't ask questions or raise suspicions (since the hospital staff couldn't link him to Kayla). But Hamish

  • CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY ONE

    There was one more person to put away when the scheme was done with. That doctor.As much as Hamish hated to deal with it, another clumsy character on the scene meant another loose end. He was going to go all out till he got his package... and till it worked. They he'd pay the man in full before making him disappear.Of course basic logic would question his choice of paying first. He just thought it necessary to stick to one's part of a deal no matter what. So he'd pay the man's family for his service, then kill him. He knew he'd needed a new aide for that job, since Sparks would have to go, too. Either in the process or after the process.In fact, he had started to feel a sense of urgency to do away with Sparks before something spilled. The man was already becoming disgruntled. He was already becoming too important. Nobody became too important with Hamish.But first Sparks needed to get the dirty work done, before he eliminated and dissociated him.****When Benny launched himself

  • CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY

    Doctor Benny liked the concept of a bright future. He had always liked it and other terms like it. Future. Success. Opportunity. Yes, that one. Opportunity. There wasn't very much of it for him in his profession. He wasn't poor or anything—of course he had stuff to be grateful for. But he sensed it could be more. So he tried to get more.Wen he had got the call from Hamish's aide to get a lethal solution ready, he, as any rational person, did not like it. But what choice did he have? His wife was a compulsive shopper and his children sometimes forgot he wasn't a billionaire. So he asked himself what he had to lose and the answer was not much. He didn't know if he had a strong or weak conscience. He only knew he could use the money they were offering. He took the offer. He had hoped it would be a one-off thing. Prepare the solution, have it delivered, get his money, forget any of it ever happened. Now it was staring him on the face. That was the problem with crime. It made for str

  • CHAPTER HUNDRED & FORTY NINE

    Impatiently, the Chairman waited for Rey to arrive. More than clarity, he needed to prove to his son-in-law—and himself—that he was mistaken. If they hadn't been from Rey, he would have paid the messages no heed. He found it rather confusing under the given circumstances. He waited in his topfloor office in the conglomerate that morning, when he should have been busy with other concerns. Reynolds needed to explain. It was not that the strings had no connection whatsoever. No, the Chairman wasn't imprudent. It was the way they connected. And the who they connected to. Those were the things he could not accept. At least, not without hard, infallible proof.His desk phone beeped and he picked it up. It was Rezei, asking if he wanted to see Reynolds."Yes, let him come," he said. Then he glanced sharply at the central air conditioner, feeling like the temperature in the room had fallen by a hinedered degrees Celsius in one second. The door opened almost immediately to reveal Reynolds
