2023-09-27 13:52:43Rex stared at her; no one said anything to him about any safe words. However, his shaking and sweating stopped instantly as he gazed back at her cold gaze.
The two stared at each other for what seemed like forever.
Like some sick joke, the girl smiled and handed him her briefcase, taking his.
Rex let out a loud sigh, and the shaking and sweating resumed. He was not sure what had just happened.
The door of the restaurant opened, and the Director walked in, his face beaming with a smile.
"Congratulations, Mr. Grayson, and welcome to the team," he said.
"Safeword… She asked for a fucking safe word," he kept mumbling.
"Yes, and your safe word was not to say a word," the Director reminded him.
Rex stared at him back and forth; he remembered the warning not to say anything to the woman, but no one told him it was the safe word.
"What... would have happened if… I had said something?" He asked.
"She would have known you were fake and shot you," the Director smiled.
Rex gasped in horror, the man was not joking.
"Stand up, we have a lot of training to do," he said.
Rex got up. "What do you mean, am I not supposed to go home?" he asked.
The director turned and asked if he had read the contract thoroughly.
"What…did I miss… something?" Rex whispered.
"For the coming five years, you will live, breathe, and eat the NSA. As far as your family is concerned, you are dead, and they were shown Chad's body," the director explained.
Rex felt weakness in his legs, he had not cared to read much of the contract, but he remembered no part of him being declared dead.
"No, no, wait, the contract," he tried to protest.
The Director handed him the contract, which now had two pages.
"Wait a minute… There was only one page," Rex protested.
"Are you sure?" the Director asked.
"Yes, very sure! Do you think I am stupid? How could you tell my family that I was dead?"
The director looked away, "It's not too late; we can call them and tell them there was a mix-up, and you can go back to rotting in jail," the Director explained.
Rex gasped
"Or you can follow me, build a career, and get back to your family," he added.
"What?"
"After five years, your contract will be over, and you can choose to go back to your family, which I explained."
Rex chuckled
"How? Are you stupid? You just declared me dead?"
"We're NSA and can raise you from the dead," he smiled.
"But my family won't see me for five years?" Rex was on the verge of punching the Director.
"You didn't think about that when you took the fall for your stupid brother-in-law, didn't you?" the director asked.
Rex was taken aback
The Director handed him a tablet and said, "Your sister went asking Chelsea for money to hold your funeral but was asked not to call and her line was blocked," the director played him a video.
"She is currently outside Chelsea's house, and Miguel chased her away, calling her a sister of the murderer," he added.
Rex furiously played the audio recording over and over again, trying to suppress his emotions. The people he sacrificed everything for turned their backs on him.
"There are two options here: go back to jail and hear the tales of how you were betrayed day in and day out with swollen buttocks, or follow me and build connections, make money, and have the power to deal with your girlfriend later."
Rex looked up at him, on the verge of crying but tried his best to hold it all in.
"My family needs me!" he yelled.
"Not when you will go behind bars; remember what we did was illegal, and should the FBI find you alive, you are on your own," he added.
"What…you?"
"Just follow me and give yourself a fighting chance. Your sister and brother will be okay," the Director assured, giving him five minutes to join him in the car outside or sit back in the seat and wait for another car to go and take him straight to jail.
Rex sat back in his chair, lost, as he played the recording of Chelsea yelling at his sister again.
The very woman he sacrificed his life for did not care that he was dead.
He chuckled, realizing how stupid he was. Anger swelled inside of him. She was probably never going to visit him if he went to jail. She was going to marry another man and move on as he kept rotting in prison.
Without a second thought, he got up. Crying over spilt milk was not going to take away the five years he got.
But using the five years to build and transform himself into someone powerful was going to sieve out the sand from the spilt milk.
He had nothing to lose; after all, he was too ashamed to face his family for the stupid sacrifice he made.

Rex sat in his office, waiting for the deliberations on his application for the Director position. The supervisors were locked for over an hour, debating while he sat in front of his laptop watching Peter run mad. It was two days in his holding cell, waiting for bail and for his lawyer who was trying to prove that Chelsea was not mentally stable and her confession was not reliable or credible in court. The man was busy tearing into Chelsea’s life and exposing her with a list of all the government officials she once slept with and all the illegal activities she was involved in. Their main goal was to tarnish Chelsea’s name so that she was deemed not credible to confess in any courtroom. Rex did not interfere, he sat back and watched from a distance as the two went on exposing their sex scandal and dirty laundry. Finally, his phone beeped. The supervisors were done. They called him and he entered the office very confident. “Congratulations Rex Grayson, you are officially the

Peter Banks was placed in handcuffs and taken to the van that drove him to the private detention center. He was calm and did not show any signs of resistance or frustration. He was more interested in the person who was going to lead the investigation, considering the dirt he had on all the directors and deputies in various agencies. That was why he was untouchable; everyone was dirty and was supposed to know not to go poking in other people’s business. He was taken into a room, and in minutes, his supervisors and deputy walked in.“I will advise everyone to think or visit their lawyers before they say anything here,” he warned in an orderly tone.The door opened, and Rex walked in.“What the fuck is he doing here!” he yelled.“Rex is now part of our team and is leading this investigation,” the deputy announced, sending Peter slamming on the chair.He looked at his supervisor.“Last we checked, you are the one who recommended him, and it took him only a day to get a confession,” the

Rex headed for the NSA building and could see cars following him. He looked in the mirrors and stepped on the gas.The confession was going to reach the tribunal whether he was alive or dead.“Sir, take your next exit, we will block the cars,” the watchers assured him.Rex made a turn, and his phone rang.He looked at the caller, and it was Peter.He answered it, wanting to hear the old fool’s voice one last time.“Where is my daughter!” Peter yelled.“Cremated in a vessel,” Rex replied.Peter paused, his breath audible.“Do not worry, they placed her in two vessels, and I intend to bring one to your prison cell, plus my drug so that you get to live longer and save your sentence,” Rex replied and hung up.“You stupid fool! I will blow up! How could you cremate my daughter without me!” he yelled, but Rex had already hung up on him.He dialed the line, but it went on ringing.Frustrated, he called the men who were following Rex.They needed to abduct Rex, dead or alive.“How far! Why am

Rex slowly pulled away from the hug, tears streaming down his cheeks.“Ever since that woman walked into your life, you made her your priority and then your son came, and finally you were on your road to recovery,” he added and looked down. “You were nearly there Rex, you were almost there.”Tears kept flowing.It was his father’s job to say the right thing at the moment. Rex was his son, and condemning him was not his part.They went on with the funeral procession, after which we headed to one of Rex’s mansions Rex’s father walked up to him with Sam in his hands.“The little man missed you," he said.Rex smiled and held the baby in my arms.His father cleared his throat.“You are coming with us, right?" he asked.Rex kept his gaze on the baby.“Rex, this is where the vengeance ends. That man killed his own daughter, and as a father, that would be the worst kind of karma,” he stated.Rex kept staring at the baby.His phone beeped; it was the watchers.He gave the phone one glance and

“Where is my daughter?” Peter kept demanding from the hospital administrator.His daughter was supposed to be at St Luke, the other officers confirmed that's where they sent the body, but only to be told the hospital had no idea where the body was.He called his deputy, who kept ignoring his calls.Everyone he was calling had no idea where she was taken, and neither did he have an idea of Chelsea’s whereabouts.He could smell Rex all over everything. Even in his daughter’s death, the stupid boy was being petty.He called Rex’s line but could not get through.Pissed, he called his men to turn the city upside down until Rex was found.“No, no, find Chelsea first! Find that stupid bitch!” he screamed.Meanwhile, Rex and Patricia stood over Rose’s body, clad in protective clothing.Patricia could not stop the tears. She had a lot of regrets. If only she had not called her daughter back or turned to alcohol or cried over the stupid divorce. Her daughter had found a life with the man she l
Chapter 189
The paramedics took Patricia away in the ambulance while Rex fixed his eyes on Peter, whose face was as grey as water-soaked chalk dust. It was the old man’s fault; he released Chelsea. He sent her to the function to kill him. He was the only one who had the power to infiltrate her into his security team. On the other hand, Peter could feel his legs numbing up; his daughter was dead. He killed his daughter; it was his fault. That was not a fact he could try to make excuses for or try to pull himself out of. He had known his family was going to be at the event, yet he risked it all. His only concentration was his target, to kill the target. To kill Rex Grayson He was led inside, ignoring Rex’s vicious eyes. He had expected the boy to be attacking him or throwing rants, but instead, he just sat there staring at him. “We finally have footage of what transpired,” the deputy announced and called Peter and other heads of the other agencies into a private room where they got to watch
