A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 39
The moment Adrian saw Mr. Anthony's message, he'd placed a call to Savannah and had allowed her to listen in on their conversation. Normally, Adrian knew he couldn't disrespect or enforce any rule on Raymond but he knew he still had to get rid of him somehow. So he'd thought of a plan that would get rid of Raymond now and later on. He didn't want to be in the crosshair of a spoiled brat with resources. Even though he was also rich, he couldn't use half of what he owned because of his cover. So he'd called Savannah, another person he knew was plotting for the company but would be empathetic to his course. He didn't trust Savannah, not even one bit, but he knew she was the only one who saw the other siblings as an enemy. So basically, Savannah is an enemy of his enemy. When the elevator dinged open, even Adrian wasn't expecting her to have arrived so quickly, he was shocked to see her standing in front of the elevator for a moment. He quickly transfigured his face from confident to d

He arrived at the supermarket feeling tired. He'd used so much brain power during the meeting and still ended up not understanding anything. He needed to start getting a grasp of things or he would actually be unable to run the business when it was his time. He got out of the car and waved off Blinks who drove the car away immediately without even glancing at him. He'd told Blinks he wanted to secure his cover as best as possible. After his narrow escape today with Raymon he knew he needed to be ever watchful of himself and what he does. He walked into the supermarket alone, and the moment he stepped in he saw Sandra at the edge of her table with her head bent lowly as a woman began to pour a bottle of drinks on it and she just stood there taking it.Adrian didn't rush into the situation. He wanted to get the full incentive of whatever was going on first. The woman then threw a bottle at her face slamming her hand against the counter.“That is just a warning you bitch. You have poor

Sandra and Adrian walked along the street as the man held his hand in his pocket strolling beside the girl who was currently enjoying the creamy taste of a vanilla ice cream. The evening breeze hued past them with effortless grace. “This is nice,” Sandra commented. Adrian just inhaled and kept on walking, he wasn't necessarily interested in any of the nonsense she was going to spew. He just wanted to make her happy because he knew what she went through with the woman but she however recovered quicker than he'd anticipated. He walked down the street lost in thoughts. He needed to get lots of things straightened out and he has not even had the time to focus on himself for a while. He hasn't tended to his gardens today and he also hadn't thought of them in a while. For what it's worth, he was just realizing how tough the world he'd stepped into would be. A world of lies and cunning. “Why do you seem moody?” Sandra asked him, staring into his eyes.He glanced at her for a moment, star

It didn't take long for Blinks to get them home. He parked a distance from home and Adrian waved him goodbye before skidding down the road, entering into the mansion in a half jog. “Get your hands off of me,” he heard a feminine voice that was unmistakably Lady Barbara's say as he entered. He glanced up to see the lady amidst two policemen pushing her forward roughly. Normally Adrian was amused to see her in that state, she knew how to push people around, it was fun seeing people push her around in such a manner. However this was the perfect opportunity for him. If he could get her out of this mess, he had one more chance of stepping forward into the Brooks’ family. All the children already felt a little empathetic towards his course the moment he became an advisor, they were all sympathetic and kind now. The wall he couldn't breach had been the Lady herself. He exhaled and walked forward slowly, straightening his shirt as he walked towards the men. Linda was behind them with t

Adrian was lost in thoughts, his entire plan had crumbled in front of him because he'd done too much. He thought he could get a little bit into the softer side of Lady Barbara and glean important information from her but as it seemed now the woman would actually hate her the most. He glanced in her direction and normally he'd expected her to be screaming and raging curses but she was just silent with her eyes weary and tired like she'd given up. Or did she really do it? He paused for a moment and turned to Linda. He watched as they cuffed her and she didn't resist. “Before the dinner with the family, when was the last time Sir Brooks came home?” He whispered. Linda looked at him with urgency. “What does that have to do with what is happening now?” She asked, almost jumping on her toes. Adrian facepalmed, Linda was the overly aggressive and emotional type, she didn't know how to calm down in difficult situations, she gets excited easily. “Just answer please,” he begged. “Well I th

The police arrived a few hours later and they took hold of their captive whom Adrian had already tied to a post with the help of Linda. They had to follow the police down to the police station to put down some statements. They couldn't leave Lady Barbara alone in the house in that state so they waited for Ada to arrive. She did after about twenty minutes of waiting and she thanked Adrian multiple times which the latter found repulsive. They moved down to the police station to write some statements and hand over the culprit officially to the police department. After a while Linda and Adrian left the station and flagged down a cab. Parked right in front of them was Blinks smiling at them both. “This car is creepy,” Linda whispered to Adrian. Adrian giggled at her suspicious glare and just gestured for her to get in, she did but sat closely to him as if he could do anything if the person was really planning to hurt them. Blinks drove away and he began the topic purposely in the car s

The field was green filled with a sense of serenity and peace. Adrian stood in the middle of the field, and gazed as far as his eyes could see. The only thing that existed was green all the way down. The entire expanse was so green it reflected in the clouds above. The entire area was so enjoyable, so he decided to sit down and spend a little while here. He glanced beside him and his gaze met with his grandfather's. The man appeared a little younger than Adrian had remembered him. He smiled sheepishly at him and waved.“Pa?” He called as he usually does when he was still alive. Adrian didn't understand how he could have met him so he passed the moment off for a dream. “Hsy, son,” he said with a smile, his voice sounded more energetic but it was still the familiar voice remembered as a kid. “What..??” He asked. “Why are you here?” Adrian asked. The man chuckled. “I am not Adrian, you are probably imagining me,” he explained with a frail and enigmatic tone. “Why… Why would I be ima

The door clicked open and Linda stepped in with Blinks by her side. He glanced at them and smiled, he felt a little okay with them being here, he couldn't deny that. Growing up for the most part of his life, he didn't necessarily have friends because he never really trusted anyone enough. The pain the Brooks family put him through always made him afraid of people and it made him a little afraid for himself sometimes. He was a grown up now and he knew how to keep his fears bottled. He understood what it means to have people that cared about you, not for what you are or what you have. Just as they stepped in, a third visitor was with them and the person was covering their face with a bunch of flowers. Adrian couldn't see them very well as his line of vision was pretty limited as he was laying on the bed. They got to his bed side and the person brought down the flowers and Adrian found himself smiling wider. It was Rose and she winked at him as he laid on the bed. “Hey guys,” he said

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
