‘You won’t dare insult my husband in my presence ever again, wretched fool!’
Ashley repeated the lady’s statement, and at the same time put her hands on her red hot cheek.'Did this bitch just slap me?!'Yes, she just got slapped but she couldn't dare to do anything about it."Don't you ever in your life utter such words about my husband." Kayla made it clear to her.“Seriously?! You think because you have thugs in suits with you. I can't do a thing, I can damage this guy's life in a minute, I will destroy your marriage!" She screamed."Oh, you can't do anything." A wry smile formed on Kayla's face, she was like a cunning face, with the mole that sat below the corner of her lips. "...I have secrets, videos of how you slept with those ugly men for money. I wonder what will happen to you the moment that gets out. Or is it the moment when you would arrange a theft on him just to get his little salary? I have evidence of all that.”At this moment, Ashley began to hesitate to talk."Leave Rey alone. Disappear from his life. As you can see, I am bastardly rich, I don't care if he is poor, he is the man I want and if you dare come to him again. I have enough money and means to make your life the most miserable one on this planet."Her words shook Ashley's countenance. Her legs shook as fatigue overwhelmed her upon the realization that she lost. She was embarrassed and ashamed.Not being able to raise her head, she gritted her teeth."I will surely get back at you for this. I promise you."With a grin, Kayla replied her. “Oh, I will be waiting for you."Ashley glared at Kayla one last time and stormed out of the place.Kayla sighed and handed the golf stick in her hand to Lei."Thank God you didn't have to clobber her with the golf stick," Lei said with relief.She looked at the unconscious man on the floor."What do we do about this one?""We are at a hospital Lei. Let them save him if they can and if they can't, well, compensate his family handsomely. He died while working and the company will take care of his family for the rest of their lives." She said with a cold voice and then walked to Rey who was slowly getting up.He was in much pain but didn't want to be seen as a weak dude. This was the second time... the second time Kayla was seeing her in a position like this.She bent down and helped him up."I'm sorry you have to keep seeing me in a condition like this.""There is nothing to apologize for. You've seen me at my worst and were very good to me. You are one of the reasons why I grew to be very confident even though I was a fat little girl.""Ah..." Rey didn't know what to say. He was filled with gratitude... back then he was just being himself so he didn't see anything extraordinary about being nice to a fine girl whom he adored her handwriting."Well, what are you waiting for? Go get dressed. We have a wedding in a few minutes." She smiled.One of the suited men rushed to Rey with a black bag containing his suit. He went into the hospital with haste to change.He made his way to one of the bathrooms and after a few minutes, he came out, looking very different. He looked very dashing and it was a wonder—until a few minutes ago Reynold just looked like a regular commoner despite having a menacingly handsome face. It was a true wonder how he had quickly transformed into an epitome of elegance and sophistication.The suit impeccably fitted to his frame and exuded a timeless style and class. It was crafted from the finest black wool, its sheen catching the light just right, giving it a subtle hint of luxury.The suit jacket featured a slim, modern cut with peaked lapels that added a touch of flair. The matching vest hugged his torso, creating a polished silhouette, and a crisp white dress shirt underneath completed the ensemble. The shirt's high-quality fabric was immaculately pressed, and its collar was adorned with a perfectly tied black silk bowtie, adding an air of formality and refinement.His suit trousers were tailored to perfection, with a clean, straight leg that tapered elegantly towards his black leather dress shoes.His shoes were polished to a mirror-like shine, and their simple, classic design complemented the overall look.Reynold looked into the mirror, admiring the astonishing change that had come to him in an instant. He smiled at himself, he wasn't that timid young man anymore, now he exuded an aura of confidence and charm.He stepped out of the toilet and the first person he met was his sister.She was shocked."Brother?" She sized her brother up and down before saying. “What are you doing? Why are you dressed in such an expensive suit.""Ah...I promise to explain this later, I promise ehn!" He said and hurriedly ran away.She watched his back as he faded into the distance."What is going on?" She asked herself. But a smile formed on her face a few seconds later. "He looked really happy"Reynold met with Kayla. She smiled as she saw Reynold run towards her. He finally got in front of her and stood confidently."How do I look?""Well, it has always been a number one rule for my husband to be as handsome as the devil himself"Reynold had not gotten to that level of handsomeness, compared to the handsomeness of a devil, he looked more like a handsome troublemaker. But Kayla was sure that with a little touch here and there, in due time Reynold would strike anyone as a handsome devil. He had that much prospect.She offered her hand to him."Well, let's go get married.”Reynold smiled and accepted her hands with a bow. By this time, darkness had shrouded the sky but the whole place was illuminated by the bright lights of the hospital. A little crowd of people gathered here and them and watched them.Reynold accepted her hand and together they entered the white Rolls-Royce and drove off to where they were to get married.

CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY FOUR
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-
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY THREE
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
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY TWO
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
