Chapter 41: Flipping Through The Pages Of Angela's Black Book

Tony Woods POV“Your wife hired me as her third eye in the company. I tried to back out, but she threatened to report me to the cops. I had no choice but to comply with her evil agenda against you. She never loved you. She married you because of your wealth. She also plots to take over the company immediately after your demise,” Sean revealed. “She never loved you,” the words ring a bell in my head. It feels like a Déjà vu. That was what Susan said when she visited my mansion with Paul.I thought she said that out of jealousy because she couldn't endure the fact I found love according to a younger woman. That was the reason I drove her out of my house. I should have paid more attention to Susan rather than kicking her out. History has repeated itself and the same thing I avoided has finally happened to me.Marcus said so much until I stopped him from talking. He was spilling more dirty secrets than I ever envisaged. I went from wanting more to wanting none. My head couldn

Chapter 42: Letting More Cats Out of The Bag

Tony Woods's POVThat was the second time Marcus has amazed me in the space of ten minutes. If he wasn't my friend, I would have doubted that he was a magician.I have never witnessed anyone exhibit such brilliance before. Marcus barely said a word to explain how he managed to call the cops unnoticed. All he did was smile at me and touch his chest, signaling me to stay calm and that he had everything under control. Some moments later, I heard the siren of a cab heading towards my company's premises. I needed no one to tell me that the policemen had arrived. “That was fast, Marcus. I never expected that.How did you manage to pull that up again,” I said to Marcus while still trying to fathom how the policemen showed up so quickly. It wasn't too long before I questioned Marcus about how he invited the cops without my consent. “Don't worry about that. It's not necessary for now. I don't want us to waste our time on irrelevance when we have other issues to be bothered with,” Ma

Chapter 43: The Angel You Don't Know

Tony Woods's POV“Can someone please say something already? Don't fucking sit here and do nothing while I die in silence. Have you two known each other before?” I lost my cool and yelled at them. The silent treatment was beginning to mess with my head. They made it seem like I was insane when none of them responded to my question Marcus patted me on the shoulder, pleading for me to stay calm, but I ignored him. Instead, his plea fuelled my frustration. I didn't know when I screamed at him. “Don't you dare tell me to stay calm, Marcus? Have you lost your mind?Do I need to remind you what's at stake here?” Marcus sighed and looked away. He knew that he screwed up. Deep down, he wanted to apologize to me, but he wasn't certain if I was going to accept the apology. I let out a deep breath and forced myself to stay calm. I tried all I could not to speak further or act. I didn't trust my guts. I was scared that I might do something stupid to hurt someone, which would, of course

Chapter 44: Boomerang

Tony Woods POV“Sir, I hope you do know that you're the one delaying this investigation, right?I wouldn't want you to play the victim card when the table gets turned in your favor. For crying out loud, it's getting late, and we haven't done anything significant,” Marcus told me, even when I warned him not to speak. He spoke so fast, as though he were under immense pressure. It was obvious that he couldn't keep the thought to himself for too long. What he said about me was rather degrading. Such an act could be capable of bringing out the best in me. But what was I supposed to do anyway? Absolutely nothing!I didn't pick any offense in what Marcus said about me, and neither did I retaliate that he used a harsh tone on me even when he shouldn't be doing that. Irrespective of how everything will play out, I always expected him to be on my side at all times. Inside of me, I knew he was right. I was doing the same thing I was kicked against a couple of minutes ago. I had a glance

Chapter 45: Angela; The Kingpin

Tony Woods's POV“Who's calling your phone at this hour?And don't you dare lie to me because I'm going to find out,” I challenged Sean. I didn't give him a chance to speak up first, knowing that he would lie. “It ain't my phone. Why are you probing me? You should check yours.Or don't you have yours? Besides, I'm not the only one seated in this car. I'm pretty sure the others have phones too. “ Sean responded in a placating tone. I didn't utter a word. I didn't retaliate for his rudeness towards me. It was just a matter of time before he spat in my face.I pretend not to hear him speak. I looked away. The moment I noticed he wasn't paying attention, I landed a punch on his chin. “That is what you get for lying to me.I might be closer to my old age, but certainly not a vegetable. I can't be messed with.” Since his hands were cuffed, I was confident that he wasn't going to retaliate with the heavy punch I threw at him. Like a kid who lost a family, he sobbed. I ignored

Chapter 46: Reaching A Common Ground

Tony Woods's POVI could recall getting into a huge fight with my son because he kicked against my marriage to Angela. He tried to make me understand that Angela never loved me, but I ignored him, saying he was drunk. My ex-wife said the same thing. Unlike my son's advice, My ex-wife revealed how she had caught Angela flirting around the city with numerous guys. Did I listen to her?Of course not. What did I do? I called her a jealous fellow. I accused her of trying to sabotage my marriage to Angela because I ended things with her. Seven years later, the warnings from those who mattered to me are starting to haunt me. Back then, I gave a thousand reasons I wanted to get married to Angela. But today, I can't even speak up to save my life. “What are you talking about, Marcus? Why would you ask me why I married Angela?” I sparked outrageously at Marcus. I tried to act tough and pretend that what he said never mattered. But deep down, I cared the most. I maintained a straight

Chapter 47: The Act Of Cowardice

Tony Woods's POV “Oh, no. Not again. What does this bitch want from me once more?” I hissed. I felt like smashing my phone to the ground, but I considered the important information I may lose should I attempt to do that. A thousand times she called, and not for once, did I respond. I dropped the phone on my lap and left the company's premises. I didn't know where the strength came from because a while ago, I had nothing left inside of me. I was already making plans to book an appointment with my doctor to have my body fully examined. A few miles away from my estate, my phone beeped. Unlike the previous time, it was a notification. I picked up the phone to check the notification only to see a text from Angela which says, “Your son is worried about you. Where have you been? He has been asking to see you,” Immediately, I pulled over. I didn't know when I started weeping like a toddler. It dawned on me that Kelly would feel most of the pain now. My hate towards the poor kid

Chapter 48: Wife From Hell

Tony Woods's POV"Introduce you to whom? Who the heck are you talking about? You need to have your head examined because it's obvious that you've lost it. When, lady, did you have your medication?' I yelled at Angela with the last strength inside of me. It wasn't my intention to yell at her in such a manner, but she pushed me to the wall, and I had no choice. “Oh? You are going to pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about? You try to play smart but unfortunately, you aren't,” Angela retaliated. I thought yelling at her was going to scare her a bit, but I was wrong. I didn't know where she got the strength from. I was lost, yet stunned by how Angela managed to pull up that defense mechanism. Coming from someone who has so many dirty secrets. If there's anyone who is entitled to be upset, clearly it should be me.Quietly, I sauntered to the wardrobe and selected my pajamas. Right in her presence, I wore it and grabbed my pillow. “Where the heck are you heading to r

Chapter 49: Kelly's Fall

Toon Woods POVBefore I could stand up from the bed, my domestic staff was already inside my room, crying her eyes out. “What's the problem, Maggie?” I asked. While I asked her the question, numerous negative thoughts invaded my mind. I tried so hard not to believe them, even though I knew it was obvious. Rather, I decided to listen to what my staff had to say. “It's Kelly,” she briefly said. It wasn't the response I had anticipated. Her response to my question further increased my blood pressure. Maggie's utterances kept me in suspense, which didn't sit well with me. I didn't know when I yelled at Maggie, warning her to speak up and stop playing games with me. “This is your last chance to spill it, Maggie. The next time won't be funny,” I warned Maggie. “Kelly was rushed to the hospital after he collapsed in the living room this morning,” Maggie finally spilled. “What?”I screamed my lungs out and died a thousand times. I thought it was a joke until Maggie confirmed that

Chapter 50: The Devil's Advocate for Cruelty

Tony Woods POV“You heard me right, Mr. Woods. That's exactly what I said. Are you searching for your son and wife?” The Doctor repeated the question. It turned out that my eardrums weren't damaged after all, as I had thought. “Hold on a sec, sir! I want to get this straight. This still doesn't look real to me. I want to ask you a question. Were you aware that your son was rushed inside by your wife?” The Doctor asked me again. He saw the look on my face and knew something was wrong. I wasn't the Tony Woods he has known for decades now. Personally, there was something very awful about me.It was as though someone was seated somewhere controlling my movement with a remote or some sort of. I was too perplexed to speak. Spinning my head around, I caught the Nurse at the reception staring at me. The same nurse who told me that my son, Kelly, wasn't admitted to their hospital I had a thousand reasons to speak, but I also considered how detrimental my confession would be to he
