A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 59
As Adrian entered the house, Londa picked up her phone immediately and dialed Rose’s number. She had seen him speak to her and had noticed that there was a connection between them, the girl had met him in a space of a few weeks and they were talking like they knew each other for months. Linda hoped Rose would be able to do something about Adrian’s craziness at the moment.“Hello,” Rose said in a lazy voice. “Why are you disturbing me big girl,” she said as Linda heard her shuffle underneath the sheets of her bed. “Are you sleeping?” Linda asked, surprised.“Yes… yes I am. Didn't sleep all night, had to work. Why are you calling now?” She asked. “I swear if it's something stupid, I will wring your head off,” she promised. “No… it is Adrian,” she said and Rose tumbled out of bed immediately. “What is wrong with Adrian?” She asked, her voice agitated, the sleep wiped from her face. The only thing left was intense curiosity and fear. The last time Linda had called her like that he was

He glanced backwards, away from the swollen face of Raymond and his eyes met with Rose who was standing across the lawn, her hand stuck around Linda’s and when he looked in her face, he realized he probably had been going too far. He glanced around and the entire house surrounded them. Even lady Barbara held that sense of fear in her eyes. The only one who wasn't really afraid and mildly calm was Lazzaro. He just stared blankly at the event as if he was disappointed about something. He got up from Raymond and he began to walk away from the crowd. The maids went forward to help Raymond but he shoved them off. “And to what effect did you do this?” He asked Adrian. “You think you could scare me? I promise you this, all my full attention will be turned towards you and you will come to realize how dangerous the firstborn son of Hamilton Brooks is,” he said, spitting blood from his mouth. “Challenge accepted!” Adrian replied in a low growl and headed out of the house. He saw Rose’s car p

Adrian watched as she jogged into the house smiling and he just stared at her, he felt his heart tugging into a knot, something was in there that he couldn't really fix. It was as if it was tied down to a chair and he couldn't free it. He gritted his teeth and found himself rubbing his chest. His heart was beating so fast and loudly that he didn't need to touch his chest to hear the thumping sound in his head. “Are you gonna stare at my ass or are you gonna come in,” Rose said, turning around to face him with that usual mischievous grin on her cheeks. “I wasn't staring at you…” he gestured the rest of the word with his hand. “There isn't much to stare at,” he mumbled under his breath.“Hey, I heard that!” She pointed to him. “Say it again, I dare you, I double dare you!” She glanced at him with a raised eyebrow. He raised his eyes, signaling he surrendered and then he shook his head with a smile as they walked into the house. He entered through the small door, in fact he had to ben

She served the food on the small cozy dining that was next to the area in which she’d separated for her multiple computer sets. The food was a simple one. She’d a bunch of fried chicken wings and some spicy sauce. Then the main course was rice with different kinds of vegetables littered on it in a purposely arranged manner. The arrangement was a spiral and she’d taken her time to arrange it alternatively. He smiled before glancing up and saying in a low tone. “Thanks for the food,” he smiled and then started to dig in. The eating started with an awkward silence with both of them stealing glances from each other. It wasn't after a while that Adrian worked up the courage to speak. He wanted to say something serious with her about them without her joking about it because she was really fond of it. “Why did you kiss me earlier?” He asked as he dipped a chicken into the sauce and threw it into his mouth. “I just felt like it,” she raised her eyes, thrusting her spoon into her rice but

Adrian woke up and felt someone's skin on his chest, he glanced downward and saw Rose’s blonde hair, unpacked, sprawled over his chest. He relaxed and decided to let the moment last as much as he could let it. Even though he knew he should be rushing to head out as he would be going back to work today. He laid back down, but the shift in posture must have disturbed her because she jerked up and stared at blank space for a while before staring at him. “Good morning,” she grunted. “Are you not going to work?” She asked.“Oh, I am,” he smiled. “Just enjoying the moment,” he replied. She raised her eyes at him and chuckled. “You are very funny, now come on go get dressed, I need to freshen up, I look like a mess,” she said as she dragged herself from the bed. Adrian got up behind her and they both began to prepare for the day. Showering and dressing up was awkward but they made it work. At last he was headed out of the house and Rose was at her computer starting the day's work. She cl

Adeline was in a cloud of files, and her phone was in her hand, she was lying on the floor, flipping through files. She’d taken off the coat of her suit and she had loosen the top button of her shirt. She was currently speaking to a man on the phone. “Yes, he would,” she said, sighing as the man ranted on and on on the phone. “Yes, but then would you take your time to meet him and check his validity,” she explained. “The deal is valid, and it is that good, if I can't convince you otherwise, there is no problem, the company possesses about twenty other shareholders as strong as you, I am sure some of them won't feel as skeptical,” she said in a pleasing voice but her face was filled with anger. The man on the other phone succumbed and at last agreed to her terms. “Thank you,” she said. “I will make sure you do not regret this,” she hung up and sighed. Adrian who was lying at another corner of the office and was in his own bundle of files turned to Adeline. “Was that successful? I ca

Adrian was seated at the front of the warehouse inside Blinks’ car, his head still a little fuzzy from what he’d seen about two hours ago. His entire body was still shaking and he could barely stop it. Whoever that detective was, he didn't deserve that kind of death. The killer didn't need to go to the extent they went to. They didn't just kill the man, they mauled him to death. Blinks was with police officers answering some questions. He glanced at him from afar and he knew he hadn't been this serious in his entire life. He glanced at his phone and saw that he’d missed a call from his mother. He decided to call her back to take his mind off matters. He dialed her number and she picked up the phone. “Hello my son,” she said as soon as she received the call. “How have you been?” She asked. “I have been fine. How are you?” He replied.“I am fine, I just wanted to check on you. Had a bad dream just now and I just needed to call to confirm you are safe,” she said. “I am ma. I have be

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
