A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 160
Adrian and Blinks exchanged a quick glance as they entered the dimly lit room where Lazzaro sat, a calm smile playing on his lips. The room was sparse, with a single table and three chairs. Lazzaro gestured for them to sit, his demeanor almost inviting. He dressed a little bit more flamboyantly than he usually did. He wore a gold rolex and his suit was obviously custom made. For the first time ever Adrian could feel what was driving Lazzaro, it wasn't greed or selfishness, it was just the want to dominate. "Please, make yourselves comfortable," Lazzaro said warmly, as if they were old friends catching up rather than rivals entangled in a deadly game. Adrian hesitated for a moment, then took a seat, Blinks following suit."It’s been quite the journey, hasn’t it?" Lazzaro began, leaning back in his chair. "I’ve been watching you both for some time now, and I think it’s about time we had a little talk. You see, I believe the time has come for you to give up this charade and join me. Tog

Adrian stood still as the tailor made a few final adjustments to his custom-made suit. The shop was quiet, with only the hum of distant chatter filling the space. Blinks was nearby, getting measured for his own suit, while Raymond was flipping through a magazine, looking like he would rather be anywhere else. Even though they had an unsettling past, they'd become pretty close ever since they actually had to fight each other. Adrian was still very cautious of Raymond, always believing that people rarely change but he also understood that the former person had little understanding of the world.“So, how’s it been?” Adrian asked, breaking the silence. He glanced over at Raymond, who seemed to be deep in thought.Raymond sighed, lowering the magazine. “It’s been… different,” he said, his voice a mix of frustration and resignation. “I thought being a board member would be more exciting, you know? But most of the time, I’m just following Mr. Desmond around, learning the ropes. He’s a good m

Adrian stood at the cashier, handing over his card to the clerk when he noticed Rose’s sisters, Azalea and Daisy, walking into the shop. They were laughing, their conversation clearly light-hearted, but that shifted the moment they spotted him. The two exchanged glances and shared a knowing smirk, then made a beeline straight for him."Adrian," Rose said quickly, a hint of tension in her voice, "you can go on ahead. I’ll meet you outside."But Adrian hesitated. Something about the way Azalea and Daisy looked at him made him feel like leaving would only give them the upper hand. He decided to stay, even though he could feel the unease in the air.Azalea was the first to speak, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. “Well, well, if it isn’t the man of the hour,” she said, her eyes narrowing as she sized him up.Daisy giggled, her tone just as mocking. “Is it true, Adrian? You’re a gardener for the Brooks' family?”Adrian met their gaze evenly, refusing to let their words get under his

Adrian stood outside the grand estate of the Helmonts, taking a deep breath before making his way to the front door. He had spent the entire night thinking about Mrs. Helmont’s call and what it could mean for his future with Rose. He needed answers, and there was only one person who could give them to him—Mr. Helmont himself.After a few moments, a butler opened the door and welcomed him inside. Adrian was led through the familiar hallways, the grandeur of the house never failing to impress him, though today, it all felt a little more intimidating. When they reached the dining room, Mr. Helmont was already seated at the head of the table, sipping his morning coffee.“Adrian!” Mr. Helmont greeted him warmly, standing up to shake his hand. “It’s good to see you, son. Come, sit down. We’re just about to have breakfast.”“Thank you, Mr. Helmont,” Adrian replied, forcing a smile as he took a seat across from the man. Despite his nerves, he tried to keep his tone light and casual.They spen

The day had finally arrived. After two weeks that passed with little excitement, Adrian and Rose’s wedding day was here. The venue was a beautiful garden, filled with blooming flowers and a gentle breeze that carried the scent of roses. The sun was shining brightly, making the entire scene feel like something out of a dream.Adrian stood at the altar, adjusting his tie nervously. He could hardly believe that this day had come. Blinks, standing beside him as his best man, noticed him shaking and gave him a reassuring pat on the back. "Relax, Adrian. You look like you're about to face a firing squad, not get married," Blinks joked, his usual jovial demeanor doing wonders to ease Adrian’s nerves.Adrian chuckled, trying to relax. "Easy for you to say, you’re not the one about to make a lifetime commitment." Adrian sighed, remembering how his entire life had changed the moment Mr Anthony contacted him. Although this was a contractual marriage of sorts, he decided to commit to it and enjoy

Adrian was lying on the couch, his head resting on Rose’s shoulder while she worked on her laptop. The soft clicking of the keyboard filled the quiet room as Rose focused on the screen. She was helping Adrian with some security checks for his company, something she had taken an interest in since they got married. Her fingers flew over the keys with ease, and Adrian couldn't help but admire how capable she was.The entire thing on the screen felt like gibberish to him, he was enjoying the little moment they had together so he didn't mind, he just rested his head on her, feigning that he was dozing off. However the reason he was doing this was because he loved the smell of her hair. “Should I start charging you for this?” Rose teased, her eyes never leaving the screen.Adrian chuckled, turning slightly to look up at her. “If you do, I’ll be broke in no time. Besides, I thought we were in this together now.” he said, rolling his eyes. “You are wife now, remember? Mrs Richards.”Rose gri

Adrian decided to meet Blinks in person instead of calling. He drove over to Blinks’ place, parking his car a little ways down the street to avoid drawing attention. As he approached the front door, he noticed something was off.He knocked a couple of times, then a few more when there was no answer. That was strange. Blinks was usually quick to answer, especially when he knew Adrian was coming. Adrian’s gaze fell to the doorknob, and his heart skipped a beat. The knob had been ripped open, the metal bent and mangled. Someone had forced their way in.Adrian instinctively reached for a weapon, only to realize he hadn’t brought one. His mind raced, weighing his options. Calling for help would take too long, and Blinks might be in immediate danger. He needed to act fast. Adrian circled the house, moving as quietly as he could. The rear entrance came into view, and he saw that it was slightly ajar. He hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open slowly.The house was eerily silent as

Adrian and Blinks left Adeline behind, still flustered from the earlier interruption. As they got into the car, the atmosphere was tense, but there was also a sense of determination between them. This meeting with Lazzaro had to go differently. They were done with the games, the dancing around the truth. It was time to confront him head-on.They didn’t say much during the drive, each lost in their thoughts. Adrian kept his eyes on the road, his grip on the steering wheel tight. Blinks, sitting in the passenger seat, occasionally checked the guns they had hidden in their clothes. They were careful not to draw any attention, but they were prepared for anything.As they approached the place where they’d last met Lazzaro, Adrian felt a strange calm wash over him. It was as if the weight of everything that had happened was finally settling, and now, it was time to deal with it. They parked a little way off, scanning the area before getting out of the car. “Ready?” Adrian asked, glancing a

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
