A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 21
Adrian got out of the car as they reached Linda's house, it was a small weirdly shaped house that seemed to be all alone in the middle of a green field. It would take at least an entire kilometer to reach the next house. Linda and her friend led Adrian into the house as both of them joked with each other. At first Adrian felt very uncomfortable as he didn't fit into any of their conversations, so he sat awkwardly, his brows furrowed as he started to lampoon. His main thoughts were focused on how best he should start avoiding the Brooks, at least for now. Also, his mind flashed back to Mr. Brooks and how he just laid there, steadfastly unmovable. He wondered what kind of poison could have rendered such a richman immobile. The toxin was probably in his system and his body had kind of hibernated to heal overtime. Most of the time, slow poisons were the cause of such symptoms and if he had indeed been administered a slow poison, it means it was truly the people close to him who did it

Adrian woke up the next day still feeling quite jaded. The work had taken them the entire night and they'd all fallen asleep. He tried to shift his bodyweight as he laid on the floor and even though it was cushioned with a soft fur rug, it still made his body feel a little stiff. He however couldn't roll as he felt a weight on his body. He glanced downward with a weird gaze and he saw someone's head, resting peacefully on his chest. He looked once more and discovered it was Rose's blonde hair. He exhaled and tried to shift himself away from her head without waking up. As he shifted, his head smacked against the leg of the table and a teacup fell over and smacked him on the head. He squinted in silence, the two areas of his head stung him and yet he couldn't even rub them. He exhaled and just decided to accept his fate and lay down there but as it would seem, the commotion had woken Rose up already. Rose raised her head, yawned and just glanced at him. “Hey you,” she said as her fac

They entered the house and Linda led him to Lady Barabra who was busy talking to an event planner and she was giving the man instructions on how she wanted the event to go. The event was of course planned in two parts. The first where everyone pretends to appear gloomy and they'd be in the rain putting his body in the ground as a priest puts him to rest. After all these, they would now enter into an event center and then throw a party that Lady Barabra made up. She claimed that Mr. Brooks wanted his death to be one filled with joy and happiness. She however wanted to throw the party so they can all meet the important shareholders in the Castle and Castle company. Adrian at this point became absorbed by his own thoughts, just wondering how bad it would actually hurt Mr Brooks when he wakes to realize that not a single member of his family actually loved him. Even him, his illegitimate prized son didn't really share that much love for him. The only reason he hoped he woke up was just

A few days passed and the preparations for the burial had reached its peak, the Brooks family were thrown into a constant state of chaos or more likely, they'd thrown themselves into constant state of terror. For some reason they were all so fixated on outdoing one another and it placed Adrian in a state where he had to work a lot. He has been filing names and sending invites over and over again for hours. And the Brooks family didn't forget to be mean to him while they were at it. It actually got to a point where he had to fake having a cough that would spread if he didn't get treated immediately. A failed attempt, they packed the files to him in his quarters. Linda however took a bit of them to help him secretly. Not that it gave him any free moment at all. Currently he was in front of the Brook's house taking notes on the event planner's work and how he was planning to make the event work.The poor event planner was already fuming and wanted to end the job with them immediately,

Adrian got a bit tired from waiting for Mr. Anthony although he was enjoying the moment more than he'd enjoyed working for Lady Barbara. However, boredom made him exhausted, so he decided to walk out of his office and see how his supermarket was actually being run. He has bad business acumen, so he wanted to gain a little today. Blinks wanted to follow him but he wanted to do it freely without everyone feeling that he was above them all. “Can you please wait behind?” He begged. “I really don't want you following me around like a shadow, and no one knows I am rich so please no one is trying to kill me,” he explained.“Okay,” Blinks said. “I'd be playing some Mahjong game with the company's computer,” he said and sat down in his seat, opening the laptop. Adrian didn't even glance at him, his weirdness was already too much for him to handle, if he tried asking why he played mahjong titans, he would be thrown into another spiral.He walked out and reached the front desk where Sandra stoo

Adrian squinted a bit, he'd never really thought that as a kid he would actually be going for an arranged marriage. He's dreamt of love and the joy that comes from making one choice out of billions out there. He in fact detests the idea of polygamy or unsafe sexual relationships. He had grown up without a father in a home where the only thing he knew was pain and suffering. The Brooks’ actions towards him were never ones mild and they'd ended up leaving a mental imprint on him, he never thought that he could ever be anything better than he was. He saw the world as a place too vast to consider him significant to any of its machinations. Now that he was seated to go into a relationship with someone he would probably have no attraction towards the idea repulsed him. So would he also give birth to a kid he wouldn't fully love or would he also be a father that would never be present in the life of his own son?Mr. Anthony's statement might have come out of necessity but Adrian wasn't co

The drive to the cloth store was a little bit longer than Adrian had expected, they arrived there in the evening so most of the ride Sandra tried making small talks with him. He replied to the small talk with a clear mind, a reaction that seemed to surprise Sandra herself. The problem with him was she still thought that Adrian was hung up with her but the former had moved on. He currently was a secret head to a billion dollar company so he knew that he could choose from an array of girls like Sandra but that didn't interest him one bit. His sole focus currently was the funeral and getting past it so he can now focus on hunting down whoever tried to kill Mister Brooks. So girls like Sandra currently just repulsed him, they do not fit into his way of life. That was why when she spoke to him he could answer naturally because he had no attachment towards her anymore. Soon enough they arrived at the cloth store and the girls got down. He started to walk into the mall when he discovered
A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 28
It has been two days since he'd taken Sandra and rest to the mall to buy clothes and the funeral was finally here. Adrian had woken up earlier than usual, he was in charge of arranging the seats people were going to be seated at and he also had to put black umbrellas at everyone's chair.He was already at the funeral site arranging the chairs when Lady Barbara walked into the site in the morning. It was around six o'clock and he wondered why she was here. He however kept as silent as he could just doing his job and acting like he didn't see her.It was best when he was invisible, she would pick on someone else instead but then when he glanced at her face there was a kind of subtlety to it that made him realize she wasn't here for trouble today. She walked past him and whispered a good morning and Adrian almost jumped out of his own body.“Good morning ma'am,” he replied quickly with a bow. She however didn't even see him. He watched her to her husband's coffin that had already been la

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
