Reynold had been all over the house looking for first aid kits but found none. There was no one around apart from both of them. In fact, he was shocked that she dismissed her female bodyguard and came in here alone with a man she just barely knew.

"I've looked all over but there are no first aid kits. I think taking you to the hospital will be the best course of action."

Kayla was halfway awake, she shrugged sluggishly as he spoke. Reynold patiently stood and waited for her to wake up fully.

However, the moment she did...

"Please get out." She sternly said, holding her head tiredly.

A frown creased together Reynold's brows.

"What do you mean? You just fell and injured yourself. And you are telling me to get out. You need to go to the hospital. You can't even stand on your own."

"Please, Reynold. Don't let me get angry, the contract stated that you would not step into my room so get out."

Her voice this time was more stable and fearsome.

Reynold clenched his fist, he looked at her for a few seconds and walked away.

But instead of walking away, he walked into her bathroom—

"Hey, what are you doing?" She asked frankly but Reynold did not respond.

He bent down and began to look around the ground, checking for what must have caused her to trip and fall. After a while, he found it—her gel was right there in a corner, It seemed it had fallen and she tripped on it and also fell.

Reynold picked up the gel and returned it to where it should be. He looked around, further investigating if there was anything that could cause potential harm to her, finding none he moved to her bedroom and began to look around.

Bending when he needed to, looking here and there.

"Hey, what are you doing right now?!" Frowning, she asked.

"There was no part in the contract that said I can't be security conscious to protect you." He said to her and walked out of her room.

He made his way back to his room and lay on the bed after a cold shower. He closed his eyes to sleep but instead, thoughts invaded his mind... thoughts of her wouldn't let him rest.

His mind trailed back to her glowing skin, the part of her hips he managed to see, the upper parts of her thigh that was just beneath the short towels, are provocative cleavage. Moreso, her face was pretty.

She didn't have the usual cold look she wore all day, for that moment she was like an angel who had tripped and fallen from heaven into his life.

She was very beautiful, far more beautiful than his ex. When he saw his ex and they started dating, he thought she was the most pretty thing in the entire world. But turns out she was more of a slut. The bitch!

It was sad but Reynold did not regret a thing. Thanks to his ex fucking up, he was here with a lady far better and more beautiful. It was a blessing in disguise.

But something was annoying.

Reynold shot up to a sitting position.

"What does she think I am? A pervert? I helped her, isn't it only right that she says thank you?! And what does she think she is?!”

Reynold felt like going to her room and letting her know that he too isn't anyhow kind of guy. But he couldn't stand up. He would be dumb to make the same mistake twice and tarnish their relationship further.

He had no idea what she had been through growing up in a rich family or why she needed to get married so quickly. He knew nothing about her but she helped him. She paid the money for his mother's hospital bills. And that alone was enough reason for Reynold to want to stick out his neck for her anytime.

He covered himself with the large tiger-print duvet and tried to sleep. It was hard but eventually, he sank into a warm slumber.

It was a sweet and well-deserved sleep thanks to the king-sized bed. He could roll around all he wanted and not worry about hitting someone else or falling off the bed.

Bliss.

*

Hours later, Reynold sluggishly stood up and looked around. The first rays of the sun had managed to break in without breaking the window and were tugging at his sight.

He slowly carried his feet and managed to close the curtain. And was about to fall back on his bed when all the events of yesterday slowly unfolded in his mind again.

He shot his eyes open as he remembered that Kayla was injured yesterday and sent him out of her room.

'I should prepare breakfast.' He thought and quickly rushed out after washing his face.

It took a while to find the kitchen, after he did, he checked all the cabinets but found no single food to cook. Only medicated water was in the freezer. No left over, nothing at all.

"Does she not eat?" He muttered.

'I guess I have no choice but to go and ask her.' He steeled himself up for anything that may happen and went to her room.

He knocked a few times before the door opened.

She was already dressed and seemed like she was heading to work, she wore a scarlet red suit and the jackets were opened, letting her silky underwear out in a full display of her cleavage.

Her waist and shape were impeccably accentuated by her red pants and her hair was packed upwards making her beautiful face shine even brighter, with the seductive mole that sat below the corner of her lips like a dot.

"Uhm..eh...I wanted to ask..."

Distracted for a moment, he paused to take a breath and continued -

"How is your leg?"

"It's fine, thank you."

"Is there anything you would like to eat?"

"No thank you. You don't have to worry about me, it's right there in the contract." She said and closed the door.

"Damn she's mean... but pretty."

He shook his head and walked out, today was going to be a long day.

Unknown to him, a certain person was right behind him with his car, ready to follow him the moment he started moving.

    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
