A FORTUNE IN FURY: THE SECRET TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 66
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

Adrian sat down in his office, Adeline and Desmond seated in front of him. The jovial man was having a bit of fun with his secretary, they both chatted over trivial things like designers and cars while Adrian sat in front of his computer, taking a small test from the videos Anthony had sent him.They were all waiting for the lawyer to show up and apparently, Mr Anthony was bad at showing up when he was needed. Desmond describes him as someone who has no choice but to come horribly late to any occasion that may need him. Adrian completed the test ten minutes later and waited as the computer compiled his result, he glanced up at both Adeline and Desmond with a smile. “I hope you still have a little bit of time for us, I apologize for his lateness,” he said with a chuckle.“Oh, I know Tony, he has bad luck when it comes to showing up,” Desmond chuckled. “However, I am getting to know Adeline here and she is telling me so many wonderful things,” he chuckled. “I suppose you don't mind me

Adrian watches as Mr Desmond leaves and sighed. “What else do I have on my schedule today, Adeline?” He asked her as Mr Anthony turned to lay on the sofa.“For today, nothing,” she said with a smile. “Oh great, freedom!” He sighed and relaxed against his chair. “Well that means I can focus on Raymond right?” He asked Adeline. “Most definitely sir, although I still find the entire matter a little frightening,” the girl chuckled. It has been two weeks since he’d fought Raymond and he’s barely seen the Brook family since then, he has barely gone home in fact. He’d discussed all this with Mr Anthony and the latter had agreed for him to make himself scarce. The only reason he went home was to revive his garden. It wasn't an easy job to till with your hands something that had been completely destroyed and he could have just left the garden. It was his job in the Brooks' house anyways. They called him a gardener back then, a word that strongly translated to slave. He never understood wh

Adrian fell to the ground from a relapse from the feedback of the explosion. The fall probably had saved his life as he saw the car’s tyre land in front of him with flames of fury etched around it. It bounced a few meters away before finally rolling to a stop. He glanced backwards at the burning vehicle and couldn't even seem to recognize it, as the aesthetic had been folded beyond recognition. Force was a powerful thing, and he came to realize that at the moment. Also he realized how close to death he had come and it scared him. For a moment, the world went slow and he could see the flames dancing around the car, cackling in a poetic tone as if to let him know how much they would have loved to consume him in their fiery fingers. He turned around to the girl beside him and then sighed as he remembered that it wasn't just him in the car. He glanced at Adeline. “ Are you okay?” He asked with an intense urgency that shook the girl out of her own shock.“Yws,” she replied, “I am fine,

Blinks glanced as the gun landed on the floor, the hooded man skidded forward and held his arm, groaning in pain. Adrian rolled and took hold of the gun, but the man, despite his current situation, still swung his leg out to kick the gun out of his hand. Blinks tackled from the sound pressing on the wound, and the man screamed in pain, kicking Blinks away angrily, as they rolled away trotting off, holding their arm. They didn't want to fight anymore as it would seem they just wanted to run. Adrian quickly crawled back to the gun and yelled. “Stop!” He screamed! The man halted and began to breathe heavily. “If you are going to shoot me, you can do it, if you see my face, I am dead anyways!” He sighed and began to walk away, Adrain held the gun in his and decided to shoot him in the legs instead but he couldn't really make up his mind off he wasn't sure of his own aim. He wasn't sure he was ready to kill a man yet, not even mistakenly. He sighed as the man took the turn into another

Adeline stood calmly beside Adrian, just resting against the police car as Blinks was having a word with them. She still felt a little sting from her chest where the policeman had slammed her down. She sighed for the infinite time forcing Adrian to shake his thoughts and look at her.“Are you okay?” He asked. “Yes, I am fine,” she replied, with a nod.“Bullcrap, you can't be fine after all that,” he joked. “It could have been us in that car and you still just got harassed by a madman in a uniform,” he shook his head. “I am sorry I put you through all this,” he said. “Oh, it is nothing,” she said.“Nah, I convinced you to come, I shouldn't have…” he paused. “I am just realizing how dangerous the world I stepped in is,” he sighed. “No, it's… it's okay,” she looked at him. “I don't understand much about you but…” she trailed off. “I am sorry sir, I…” Adrian cut her short. “Speak, I am no tyrant, I want us to be friends not just official stuff, I like to keep people I trust around me.

The house of Mr Anthony was neat and tidy, and it contained the exact amount of things he needed, except for the extra chairs in the living room. They slept there for the night and Adeline didn't make one complain. She slept on the bed naturally, although she objected, after she’d slept off, Blinks had however carried her to the bed. After she had completely fallen asleep. The boys assembled in the living room to discuss what had happened. Mr Anthony glared at Blinks as soon as they reached the living room, demanding answers by just gazing at the man. Blinks however didn't say anything, he only stared back at the lawyer, he hated when the lawyer glared at him for an explanation like he was a little kid. “What are you two doing, staring at each other like little kids, can we begin the topic on ground?” Adrian demanded, shaking his head.“So how did it happen in the first place,” Mr Anthony asked, giving up on just staring.They explained everything that had happened from their car e

He sat down on one of Rose’s sofas, collapsing onto it, it was like a fluff of rabbit furs. He relaxed, closing his eyes trying to get an ample amount of rest as Rose finished her work on the computer. She was doing some weird machinations that missed Adrian completely. It took her a while to finish and during that time, Adrian had already fallen asleep and Rose didn't wake him up. She took the entire time to creepily stare at him and think about the possibility of them being together.If only life wasn't cruel, she’d opt for him immediately. Out of all the men she’d met, Adrian had been the one she was most relaxed with. Although Rose always thought that she would want someone who was funny and jovial, a little careless in fact she realized she had fallen for the opposite. Adrian was stoic, sturdy and had a sense of discipline and determination that seemed to have been wrought from years of suffering and defiance. It didn't take much for her to really like him as she knew deep dow

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
