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 right now?” Angela questioned me, but I ignored her.

Instead, I continued to walk towards the door.

As I was about to leave, she rushed and stood in front of me, preventing my exit.

“We ain't done having this discussion.

Are you running away? Because it's only a coward that runs away from a fight,” She blasted me.

Angela treated me like her maid. She had no regard for me whatsoever.

I felt so ashamed of myself, knowing that Angela would pass as my last child.

If I hadn't stooped so low to marry her despite all the warnings, she wouldn't dare speak to me like that in public.

“For your information, I am done with this conversation.

I have nothing else to offer you.

If you don't mind, get the fuck out of my way before I do something stupid,” I warned Angela.

She thought it was a mere threat until I grabbed a vase on the ground and vowed to smash her head with it should she attempt to stop me.

“Fine!

You won tonight.

But I want to assure you, this ain't over yet.

We are gonna talk about it some other time,” she finally succumbed.

The fear of having her head smashed with a vase forced her to retreat.

I didn't drop the vase on the ground; I took it along with me just to keep Angela away until she was finally unreachable.

Knowing she feared being hit with the vase, she was most likely to attack me should I dare to drop the vase before leaving.

I rushed to the guest room and shut the door.

I owned the mansion, yet I had no peace of mind.

Restlessness and chaos both combined forces to frustrate me.

I was slowly becoming a shadow of myself.

I was living inside my house like a slave; something that never happened while I was still married to my ex-wife.

To date, I still can't fathom why I ended things with my first wife.

Despite her plea for a possible comeback, I treated her like rubbish.

As though that weren't enough, I accused her that her reason for wanting a comeback was to destroy me completely.

Perhaps, she must have learned some evil plot and decided to use them against me.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Angela is my karma.

She's the punishment I got for how I treated my ex-wife.

Despite being alone in the room and the door shut, I still couldn't get sleep.

How could I sleep in the same house with the devil?

How could I sleep with my two eyes closed, knowing that Angela might be plotting my desk just to take over my empire?

I tried watching a movie on my phone, but it wasn't helping.

I got bored in the end.

However, the slumber I wished for never came.

Rather, my eyes widened like I was some sort of security at a company.

In the process of trying to figure out a perfect solution, my eyes caught a glimpse of a bottle of liquor beside the bed.

I smiled. “Now that's what I'm talking about,”

But the moment I remembered the doctor's warning against the intake of liquor, sadness strolled back to my face again.

I wasn't a staunch advocate for liquor, but I had no choice.

It was the only solution I needed to get the sleep that I wanted.

Stretching my hand to the ground, I picked up the bottle and gulped a small portion.

It was a direct gulp. I wasn't bothered to search for a glass.

Just a small gulp and I was already feeling dizzy. My vision was slowly becoming blurry.

I could barely even see what was right in front of me.

Just when I was excited that my little trick was finally working, my phone beeped.

I checked my phone and discovered a text from my lawyer, Marcus.

Due to how intoxicated I had become, I couldn't read the complete text.

All my eyes could grasp was, “Please come to the station tomorrow.

There's something you need to know. Sean made a shocking confession regarding your life,”

The text awakened my head, but what would I have done about it? Absolutely nothing.

I tried texting back, but my hands were trembling.

They could barely hold the phone despite how small the device was.

I thought about calling Marcus before I fell asleep like a baby.

A few moments later, a loud cry woke up.

It felt like magic.

I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was 7:30AM

I had a little migraine inside my head due to the liquor I had the previous night

While caressing my head to ease the pain, I heard the exact loud cry.

It wasn't just a cry.

“Kelly, please don't die on me,” the female voice begged.

It was at that moment that I knew that my son was in danger.

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.

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?

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.

    Chapter 55Tony 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 second consecut

    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

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.
