Chapter 51: She Stoops To Conquer

Tony Woods POV “ I thought I emphasized that I didn't want to see him. This wasn't our agreement,” Angela abandoned me to confront the innocent Doctor who was only trying to help. I got the answer I needed without speaking to Angela directly. Here I was, thinking that she might want to lie. But no, she owned up to her shit with her full chest and made me look like the stupid one. “I had no choice, Mrs. Woods. For crying out loud, you're his wife. I couldn't fold my arms and watch him in pain. He deserves to see his son,” the doctor explained. I was starting to feel pity for him. At that point, it became clear to me what was going on. All along, my brain was undergoing some maintenance due to what it had processed in the last few minutes. “Wait a minute, doctor. Did she also tell you not to let me see my son? What else did she tell you?” I focused my gaze on the doctor. I had a feeling that there was more to discuss. “Mr. Woods, I need to leave now. Other patients a

Chapter 52: Web Of Destruction

Tony Woods POV“Are you sure you are ready for this moment, Mr. Woods? I want you to take your time and reflect on it before coming up with a decision. What I'm about to disclose might sound partially devastating and heartbreaking to you. And I am sure you wouldn't want that for yourself. Remember your health status. I don't want to be the one to escalate your blood pressure,” The doctor retreated just when he was on the verge of disclosing my son's test results. It wasn't a question I found quite intriguing. But somehow, I was able to control my rage. “Really? Are we going to do this all day? Come on, Doctor. I am not interested in any of your jokes. Just hit the nail on the head. Doctor, if I weren't ready, I wouldn't be here. As we speak, I am involved in an ongoing police investigation,” I revealed.What Ignorance!If only he knew what I've been through in the last 48 hours. “Oh, shit. What did I just do?” I spoke in a low tone. I got carried away by my emotions. It t

Chapter 53: Arrest Gone Wrong

Tony Woods' POVI am at the point where I genuinely don't know what to do. It feels like I'm struggling. It feels like I'm standing at a crossroads, stuck and uncertain about my actions. The people you think you know.You come to realize that maybe you don't know them after all.And that shakes you.I usually have answers, but now, I'm the dumbest man alive.I'm used to having directions. But this time, I feel lost in the dark. And it's crazy each time I remember that I am all alone. I don't see anyone coming to salvage my pathetic situation. Each time I recall that I'm the architect of my misfortunes, my heart bleeds.The question that keeps echoing in my head when I wake up every morning is, “When will I finally get out of this?” To worsen it all, I am not guaranteed a perfect response, let alone a remedy. “What the hell is going on here, Mr. Woods? Why did you invite the police to my hospital?” The Doctor asked me in a faint tone. He was panting heavily after running to m

Chapter 54: Angela On The Run

Tony Wood's POV“Where's Angela?Where's Kelly?” I popped the question without a direct lead. I was hoping that someone would sacrifice themselves to speak up.“Oh, shit. She fucking escaped. How did this happen? Where are the fucking nurses?” The doctor screamed. He slammed the wall to demonstrate his rage. He was about to leave when I held him back. “Where the heck are you going?”“What the heck is this? Let go of me,” he requested.“I want to summon all the nurses to know who was on duty,” he explained.I was ruthless!I refused to let him go, knowing that he was the reason for Angela's escape. If he hadn't hesitated when I called for her arrest, Angela would be sleeping behind bars already.“Oh, come on, Tony.You know I have nothing to do with this. I was only trying to protect the image of my hospital,” he claimed.That was the lamest excuse I've ever heard. The excuse made me even more angry. I wasn't conscious of my act anymore. And the next minute, I was already draggi

Chapter 55: Most Wanted

Tony Wood's POV “Wait a minute, did you just hear that?” I called Patrick's attention to the tiny voice I heard. “Heard what? What are you talking about? Are you starting to hear things that aren't real?” Patrick mocked me. He didn't think I was telling the truth. “Have you forgotten the reason we are here? Let's go inside quickly before she escapes,” he urged me, but I refused. I was resilient and focused on my instincts. “I might be old, but certainly not dumb or stupid. I knew what I heard. That was Kelly's voice,” I challenged Patrick. I didn't allow him to control my thoughts. I left the doorway and strolled around my mansion, trying to trace the voice I heard. “Papa, please come,” I heard the voice calling me for the second time. I traced the voice to the garage and saw Angela and Kelly seated inside the car. I tried to get closer to them, but she drove off. I didn't try to run after the car, knowing it would be pointless to do that. For the

Chapter 56: Formidable Force

Tony Woods' POV “Stop that man.Don't let him get an inch close to the interrogation room. He's going to do something crazy," Officer Patrick instructed his other officers.Instantly, they stood before me and formed a shield to block my exit.Soon, Patrick joined me as he panted heavily. I gave him the run of his life that he would never forget rushing. “What's the meaning of this madness, Patrick? Have you suddenly lost your manners? Is this how you treat a man of my age?Tell them to get the fuck out of my way before someone gets hurt," I demanded.I used my age as an advantage to get past the officers, but I failed.The officers in front of me were ruthless. It was as though Patrick had cast a spell on them, that made them obey his command without grudges.“This ain't got nothing to do with ageYou brought this upon yourself. If there's anyone that might end up hurt, it's you," Officer Patrick said to me. It was starting to sound like a threat to me. I couldn't handle the r

Chapter 57: The Negotiator

Tony Woods' POV “Did you just hear that? He fucking uttered something,” I called Marcus attention to the voice I heard. I needed to be certain that I wasn't imagining things that weren't real.In a delicate situation like that, the last thing I'll consent to is jokes or pranks.“Of course, I did, Tony. You weren't the only one who heard the voice. It is safe to say that your ears lead you in the right direction. Let's listen to what the son of a bitch has to say,”Marcus replied.I was relieved by his utterances. It confirmed that I wasn't losing my mind after all.Patrick stepped forward. He stood before everyone to ensure he was closer to Sean than any of us. “Start talking now! This is your chance to make it right again. Tell us what you know about Angela's whereabouts. And don't you dare miss out on any details,” Patrick ordered Sean.For a moment, I was impressed by his moves. That was the only sensible thing that has been done over the last couple of hours. If he had rec

Chapter 58: What Do Women Really Want?

Tony Woods' point of view We've been on the road for over ten minutes and I haven't said a word to Patrick. I lost count of how many times he has tried to start a conversation with me only to end up disappointed. Blame it on the situation that has completely overwhelmed me to the point where no one matters to me anymore. The only thing I care about right now is finding Angela and making her pay for what she did to me. She is the reason I lost that bond with my son, Ethan. I was such a fool to have believed that I could start a happy family with Angela. Marrying her was the worst decision I've ever made. I am starting to assume that she jinxed me into getting married to her. “How will my son feel when he finds out about this?” That has been my worry in recent times. He warned me about marrying Angela. It wasn't just my son, his mother, my ex-wife also tried to warn me about the danger ahead. They made it clear on several occasions that Angela is after my wealth. B

Chapter 59: Finding Susan

Susan's POV After the meeting Paul and I had with Mr. Woods, I still haven't found rest. Different thoughts keep running through my head, and I don’t even want to imagine any of them coming true. It would destroy me completely. My phone beeped again. I glanced at the notification and realized it was a text from Ethan, my husband. Instantly, a cold shiver ran down my spine. My legs suddenly felt weak. I hadn’t even opened the message yet, but I already assumed it was going to be disastrous. Ethan isn't that jobless to send me loads of romantic love messages when he knows I'll be home soon. . “Susan, you can do this. Don't be scared,” I encouraged myself since I couldn't find anyone around to motivate me. Gradually, I opened the side of my left eye to glance through the text. I was left in shock. It wasn't what I expected from him. “Did he really send this to me or was his phone stolen?” That's the question that came from my lips. “Dear Susan, my lovely wife,” I re

Chapter 60: Hitting The Rock Bottom

Ethan is getting closer to my hideout than expected, and It's messing with my head. If I were meeting Ethan for the first time, I would have believed that he was a private detective. His instincts are too sharp. The way he studies situations and connects things so quickly is terrifying. Sometimes, I feel like he chose the wrong profession. Right now, I wish I had some superpower that could make me disappear without a trace. I can’t deal with Ethan’s madness. Whenever he’s angry, he becomes unstoppable. I doubt even his father can calm him down in that state. If Ethan discovers I’m hiding here, I’m doomed. Not just me—Paul too. Ethan would never forgive him, and whatever bond they once shared would be destroyed completely. I don’t want to be responsible for that. It could even affect the company. If Paul loses his position because of me, I’ll never forgive myself for it. I won't forgive myself if Paul loses his position at the company, knowing that it was all my
