A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 27
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

“Good day sir,” Anthony started, shaking the man. The man was an obviously elderly man, with his balding hair and wrinkled face. He was in a blue suit and on his hand he sported an obviously expensive watch. “Good day ma'am,” he bowed to the woman too.Adrian repeated the same thing, greeting both people with a bow, he didn't even dare stretch his hand for a handshake, they were obviously of s higher class than he was even with his one billion dollar account. They had the look of people who have been running businesses for so long they became gods in the field. “So this is the boy?” The man asked Anthony, sounding unimpressed. “Yes sir,” Anthony said.“Well, this ought to teach her a lesson don't you think?” the man said with a partial grin on his face. “Stop that, Charles, you don't speak in such a demeaning manner to someone you barely know,” his wife cautioned him. She then turned to Adrian who was sweating all over his suit. The two elderly people exuded such aura that it felt

Adrian was half dragged out of the house. Once they got outside the house his mother looked at him, checking out his body. “Are you sure you are okay?” She asked.“Yes, I am,” Adrian replied. “She didn't touch me,” he said.“Good,” she exhaled. “Well, you have a guest,” she informed him. “How did you know that?” he asked. “We were both in the house together, so how could you possibly know if someone is looking for me,” she asked. “Linda messaged me,” she replied nonchalantly, showing him her phone. Adrian furrowed her brows. “Why didn't she message me?” He wondered about picking his phone from his pocket, and he realized that he had three messages and seven missed calls. “Oh,” he muttered. “Well, where is the guest?” He asked. “They are waiting for you at the gate,” she said. “They don't want to come in,” she replied. “I don't know why, are you in some shady business?” His mother asked.“No,” he said. “I don't even know who it is,” he said. His mother looked at him with squinted

Adrian woke up to the smell of roasted beef and potatoes. He jerked up from his bed and decided to start his new morning routine. He'd been trying to improve the amount of things he got done everyday. Before he didn't need to bother about such things, his entire day was decided by Lady Barbara and her children. He started with low stretches, and eventually it transitioned to intense pull ups and push ups. After he was done with his exercise that took about an entire hour, he was sweating, so he decided to head into the bathroom to bathe. He clicked open the door and allowed the droplets of water to just run through his body. He made it a habit to think about his day to day activity in the bathroom and understand what he was going to do next.Planning everything he would do to close perfection helped him get things done better. Today, his schedule was rather simple, he would see his mother off to the park as she was leaving today, but first he had to call Rose. Over the span of ti

He picked up the dialler and placed the phone against his ear. “Good morning,” he answered. He couldn't guess why Mr. Anthony would be calling him today. They hadn't spoken for a while now and he has been able to get a lot of things out of himself. He's been tendering hisngarden with far more love than he usually did as he was happier with the situation of his current life. Although he knew heavy is the head that wore the crown he still decided to enjoy the moment when everything is peaceful and he is able to get away with lots of things and have free time to himself. “Good morning, young master,” Mr. Anthony picked up the call and greeted with his usually calm voice. “Are you free today sir?” He asked. Adrian shifted his body weight as Blinks started the ignition and the car began to zoom off. “That depends, do you have anything for me?” He asked. He'd been calling Mr. Anthony with honorifics up until now, he'd told her to stop it and not do it again so that it felt as if he was m

He picked up the phone call and answered it seriously, snapping out of what had just come over him. “Hello,” he said as he placed his phone on the table beside him, taking off his cloth as he expected the lawyer's reply. “I have been waiting a while if you do not mind young master, is everything okay?” He asked. “I am sorry, we had to get me to a boutique so I can change my look,” he answered. *Blinks advised that I needed to look like an authority at least,” he replied. “Okay, see you soon. A smart decision if I would say,” he commented and then hung up on him. Adrian shook his head and then changed into his clothes and then put on his shoes. He checked himself out in the mirror in front of him and discovered he looked really good as compared to everyone else. That suit did make him look like he was the boss. He whirled around and folded his old suit neatly into a paper bag. He checked himself out one more time before finally exiting the room. He met Blinks outside and gestur

"How have you been, if I may ask?” Mr. Anthony began as they slowly walked towards one of the exquisitely carved elevator doors. The doors themselves were not the issue, they were only plain white, but they appeared ever so aesthetically pleasing to look at due to the painting on the walls of the building itself. “I am definitely delighted to be here,” Adrian blurted, his mouth unable to close as he glanced around. At the center of the building's ceiling, a chandelier dangled slowly as if swaying to the low tone music that resonated the entire area. “I meant how you have been, in general?” He inquired again trying to gain the attention of the man who was currently being swayed by the aesthetics of the building. Although he didn't blame him, the place was indeed very beautiful. Adrian turned to him, catching himself before he embarrassed himself further. “I have been okay, I guess,” he replied. The last time Adrian had come here, he was way too troubled to take in the beauty of the

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
