A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 138
Adrian was pacing back and forth while Raymond was seated with his hands folded. Ever since Adrian got the information that Rose, his wife, had been abducted he hadn't been alright. Not being alright was an understatement because right now he was feeling crazy. It was as if something in him had been triggered and that was very much okay. This was the reaction someone who truly loved his wife was supposed to have. What other way would someone feel if his wife had been abducted to an unknown place?Currently he was seated at Blinks' place and he had made it very clear that he was going to find out the location where Rose was being held. It wasn't as if that eased Adrian's feeling of restlessness but he was reassured. At least he was going to know where Rose was being kept and rush there to save her once it got to that."Pacing like that makes me very disturbed," Raymond finally said to Adrian after watching him pace for a very long period of time. "You should ease it already. Doing that

"Come on!" Ramsey yelled as he waved his right hand and pointed towards a nearby car. "Let's go there!"The others immediately followed as more gunshots rang out and bullets wheeze through the air. Pattering sounds could be heard as the bullets crashed into the spot where they had been earlier. Several bullets even wheeze past Adrian's face. It was Blinks who pulled him on time if not he would have been already shot in the face."What's going on today?!" Adrian couldn't help but asked as he panted. He wanted to look at the people who were shooting but gunshots were coming from that direction. If he tried anything funny by looking there, his face would be decorated by bullets. It wouldn't be the best decoration anybody in his right senses would want.Rose was in the worst condition as she grabbed Adrian very tightly and buried her face into her chest as she shivered in fear. Nobody wanted to be caught in a gunfire as it was terrifying. Even soldiers at times found it terrifying."I'm g

It was simple to discover who’d caused all this commotion as they were working with three people who understood pattern recognition and that was Blinks, Penelope and Ramey. All of them had experience in dealing with criminals and catching them.Penelope had managed to take pictures of the shooters and Blinks had done the same thing back at their house. They’d sat down together to make an alignment. Well, as it would seem three of the shooters held tattoos that actually matched each other.They’d then shown the other people the tattoo and Adrian recognized it, he’d seen it on Kevin before and that was the simple way they linked them together. Adrian walked away from their midst signaling to Rose as the girl frollowed him to a secluded part of the house. “Hey you okay,” he asked as soon as they were alone. “Yep,” she nodded. “This isn't my first rodeo, trust me,” she said with a smile. “You are used to being almost blown up?” He asked. “Yes!” She chuckled. “I was kidnapped as a kid

Adrian smiled at the defying words of Kevin and didn't try to dissuade him from such silly notions. He glanced at Blinks who smiled at him. “You see Kevin, we are going to get what we want even if you are not willing to give it to us or not,” he said with a chuckle, smiling weirdly at the man. He sat up and went into the man’s inner room. Adrian was in a state where he wasn't necessarily processing things well, a lot of stuff was radiating on his mind, so he left the entire information retrieval to Blinks. He has been trying to still calm himself down from the after effect of that building exploding and him thinking Rose was in it. He discovered soon enough that he would rather be at death's door than for Rose to be in danger. He couldn't bear the pain of losing her and he knew this world he was living in would always be put to harm him and everything he loved. Before it was just friends that surrounded him and while he held a sheer determination to protect them, he’s never develop

The bullet sunk into the man’s shoulder and Kevin groaned in pain. Adrian smiled, placing his foot on that wound and this time their host yelled in pain. His entire body was trembling from the pain and although Adrian didn't necessarily enjoy it, he didn't mind hearing him scream. It was a little payback for almost killing his fiance and he glanced at him now, with cold dead eyes. “You will answer my question now and it is a very simple one,” he said with a smile and then opened the gun just to view its inner barrel, then closed it back. He pressed the gun to Kevin's head and then pulled the trigger. The gun clicked and then Adrian clicked his tongue. “You are such a lucky person,” he said with a smile. There is only one last bullet in this gun and I have rearranged the barrel. I myself don't know when the bullet will shoot so for every question you don't answer, I am going to try to put an end to your pathetic life,” he said. “I don't know when your luck will run out, I hope it isn

When the car jolted to a stop, Adrian woke up immediately, he glanced at Rose who was at the driver's seat and she smirked at him. “Are you so sleepy that you cannot give basic instructions?” She demanded, shaking her head.Adrian sighed. Throughout the journey, Rose had tried getting him to give her directions to the hospital his mom was supposed to be in but the latter made them miss their turn twice before he finally had her search up the name of the place on the online map. Ge drifted into a long sleep after that, as they were already about forty minutes out. They were there now and she was giving him an attitude. That was one of the things he liked most about her; she knew how to control her emotions and always wanted him to be happy. He looked at her and didn't reply but gave her a terse smile before pushing the door open, she rolled her eyes and got out of the car, glancing at the hospital building before turning to him. I didn't think my introduction to your parents would be

His mom sighed and then sat on the bed, still holding hands with Rose, Adrian rolled his eyes in jealousy. The biggest thing he wanted in his day to day life was his wife and mother to be best of friends and take turns bullying him. He shook his head and then turned to her as she began to speak.This was the first time Adrian actually took a good look at her for a while. Past the injuries and all, she seemed a bit younger, fairer even. Even though she seemed to have been hurt, she seemed happier than she had been in a while. Her brown eyes shone brighter than normal. She looked at him with a lit up face. “Stop scanning me, I am okay,” she said. “What happened wasn't much of anything sincerely, I think the doctor overreacted, Ian overreacted a lot!” “Ian?” Adrian asked with a smile. The way she spoke the name created a sense of familiarity that he didn't expect. Was his mother seeing someone now? That would actually be great if she was. Well is that why she seemed happier and liveli

They arrived at his mother's house late into the night, the entire events of the day had taken much of their energy. The quiet of the evening was broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind and the distant call of a night bird. His mother’s house was a small and cozy one and Adrian made a passing joke about it as they entered. His mother, although a little excited to be with her son and wanting to speak to him as long as possible, didn't press them much, she could sense their weariness. They exchanged only a few words, the bare minimum needed to catch up on pleasantries, before the weight of their exhaustion overcame them all.Adrian and Rose, barely able to keep their eyes open, gratefully accepted the offer of the spare room. It was the only one in the house, but it was comfortable, although she had to remove multiple children's diagrams from there. Apparently, she invited multiple children to her house on Sundays for a drawing session. The room was modest, with a si

The heavy iron gates of the prison creaked open, revealing a narrow passage that led to the visitors' area. Adrian felt a cold chill run down his spine as he stepped into the dimly lit corridor, the air thick with the scent of damp concrete and rust. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the narrow space, a lonely rhythm that matched the unsettling atmosphere of the place. He had been here before, years ago, but this visit was different. This time, he wasn’t coming to see a friend or a client—he was here to see Lazzaro, the man who had tried to destroy his family and his life.As he approached the room where Lazzaro was waiting, Adrian took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come. He had thought long and hard about this visit, wondering if it was even worth it. But in the end, his curiosity had won out. He needed to see Lazzaro one last time—to look him in the eyes and understand what drove him to commit such heinous acts.The guard opened the door for him, and Adrian step

The tension in the room was palpable as everyone took their seats in the large, ornate boardroom. The long, polished mahogany table gleamed under the soft glow of the chandelier, and the walls were lined with portraits of the Brooks family, their stern faces watching over the gathering. It was a room where the most critical decisions in the company’s history had been made, but today, the atmosphere was different—heavier, almost suffocating.Adrian sat near the end of the table, his jaw clenched as he watched the members of the board filter in. He had barely slept the night before, the adrenaline from the chase still coursing through his veins. Blinks had assured him that the police would handle the aftermath, but it was hard to shake the feeling that something was still unresolved. He glanced around the room, noting the tense expressions on the faces of the board members and family members who had been summoned to this urgent meeting. Whispers filled the air, speculation running rampa

Adrian’s heart was still pounding from the chaos inside the mansion when he rushed outside to find Blinks. The evening air was cool against his flushed skin, but there was a heaviness in his chest that wouldn’t go away. The door slammed shut behind him, muffling the sounds of heated arguments and panicked voices. He spotted Blinks near the garden, pacing back and forth with his phone pressed to his ear."Blinks!" Adrian called out as he jogged toward him, the urgency in his voice undeniable. "What’s going on?"Blinks turned to him, his face a mask of grim determination. He quickly ended the call and slipped his phone into his pocket. "We’ve got a serious problem, Adrian," he said, his voice low and tense. "Lazzaro’s gone desperate. Mr. Shin just sent word from the Black community—Lazzaro’s put a hit out on you. A group of assassins is on their way right now."Adrian felt a cold chill race down his spine. "Assassins? Here?"Blinks nodded, his expression hardening. "Yeah, and they’re no

The grand hall was in utter disarray, a cacophony of raised voices and frantic gestures. The revelation that Adrian was the sole heir to Mr. Brooks’ empire had thrown the room into chaos. Lady Barbara was on the verge of fainting, Ada was livid, and Raymond and Lazzaro were locked in a heated argument with Anthony, who was valiantly trying to maintain control.It was then that the door to the hall creaked open, and the man who had been presumed dead, the very man who was the catalyst of this storm, walked in.Mr. Brooks stood at the entrance, his imposing figure framed by the light filtering in from the hallway. His presence was like a cold gust of wind that swept through the room, instantly silencing the tumult. All eyes turned to him, the shock evident on every face.“Father?” Adrian’s voice was the first to break the silence, disbelief etched in every syllable.“Yes, Adrian,” Mr. Brooks replied, his tone even, though his eyes softened as they met his son’s. “I’m alive. And I see I’

The towering Brooks mansion loomed ahead as Adrian, Anthony, and Blinks approached in tense silence. The weight of the moment was palpable, each step they took echoing on the gravel driveway like the ticking of a clock counting down to an inevitable confrontation. Adrian’s heart raced as they reached the grand entrance, the large oak doors standing tall as if guarding the secrets within. For Adrian, this was a place of many firsts—the first time he set foot in the Brooks estate as a member of the family he was about to reveal himself to. The mansion’s grandeur could not mask the rot that had festered within its walls for years. Today, that rot was about to be exposed.The doors swung open, revealing a dimly lit grand hall. Lady Barbara stood near the fireplace, her posture straight but her face drawn with weariness. Ada and Raymond sat on one of the long couches, their expressions impatient and guarded. Lazzaro, leaning casually against the wall, gave Adrian a cold, calculating glanc

Adrian sat silently in the car, the tension between him and Mr. Brooks palpable. The air was thick with unspoken words and years of unresolved issues. Mr. Brooks glanced at Adrian, his expression softening as he saw the storm of emotions in his son’s eyes."Adrian," Mr. Brooks began, his voice calm but heavy with the weight of what he needed to say. "I know you have a lot of questions. I owe you some answers."Adrian’s gaze remained fixed on the windshield, his jaw clenched. "You think?" he muttered, his tone sharp. "Why didn’t you tell me you were my father? Why let my mother suffer all these years? Why leave us in the dark?"Mr. Brooks sighed, rubbing his temples as if trying to ease the guilt that had been gnawing at him for years. "I wanted to protect you, Adrian. But I realize now that I failed in doing so."Adrian finally turned to look at him, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and confusion. "Protect me? From what? From you? From the truth?""From the world," Mr. Brooks r

Adrian paced the floor of the safehouse, his fists clenched and his mind racing. The events of the past few hours had left him seething with anger. “We need to get Rose somewhere safe,” Adrian finally said, his voice tight with restrained fury.Blinks nodded in agreement. “Agreed. She shouldn’t be here when we go after Lazzaro.”They didn’t waste any time. Within minutes, Rose was ready to go, her expression calm but determined. She wasn’t the type to show fear, and even now, after everything that had happened, she remained composed. “Where are we going?” Rose asked as Adrian helped her into the car.“To the police station,” Adrian said. “You’ll be under Penelope and Ramsey’s protection. They’ll keep you safe until this is over.”Rose nodded, trusting Adrian’s judgment. As much as she wanted to stay by his side, she knew that her safety—and the safety of their unborn child—was the priority.The drive to the station was tense but silent. When they arrived, Penelope and Ramsey were al

Blinks was in the middle of cleaning his handgun when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, immediately recognizing Adrian’s number. Without hesitation, he answered the call.“Adrian, what’s going on?” Blinks asked, his tone alert.“They’re after me, Blinks. At the restaurant. High-rise,” Adrian’s voice came through, tense but controlled. In the background, Blinks could hear the unmistakable sounds of gunfire and chaos.“I’m on my way. Stay low,” Blinks replied, ending the call before Adrian could respond. He quickly strapped on his holster, tucking a few extra magazines into his jacket. Before leaving, he dialed another number—Ramsey’s.“Ramsey, it’s Blinks. Adrian’s under attack. Restaurant in the high-rise. Get units there, now.”“Got it. I’ll send a team. You sure you don’t want to wait?” Ramsey’s voice was calm, but there was a note of urgency beneath it.“No time. I’ll handle it until you get there.” Blinks didn’t wait for a reply. He hung up, grabbed his car keys, and was o

Adrian and Rose laid on the floor as the robbers were still making their rounds in the restaurant. Adrian kept his eyes down, trying to maintain a calm facade, though every instinct in his body screamed at him to stay alert. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.The robbers were systematic, moving from table to table, demanding wallets and jewelry. As they approached Adrian and Rose’s table, he felt a chill run down his spine. He subtly shifted his position, placing himself closer to Rose.One of the robbers, a tall man with cold eyes, pointed his gun at Adrian. "Wallet, now," the man ordered, his voice a low growl.Adrian nodded slowly, trying to keep his movements calm and deliberate. "Sure, no problem." He reached into his pocket, pulling out his wallet and holding it out for the man to take. The robber snatched it from his hand without a word, stuffing it into a bag slung over his shoulder.Just as Adrian thought they were moving on, the robber barked, "Head up! Le
