Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Meeting his ex
15. Richard sat on the plane on his way to LA. It had been three months since the operation and almost six months since he left Los Angeles. He didn't miss the place. Maybe he had a few happy memories like when Cassy and he were in love but after that, it was all a nightmare. What kept him going was the fact that he was a trained martial artist and endurance was one of the things he had been taught by his master. If not, he would have let go a long time ago. But he kept holding on to his marriage because he had truly loved Cassy and because he believe that they could still give Mel a complete home. The private jet touched down and when they alighted, a limo was waiting for them. This was one of the reasons why Richard loved Cash. Cash was a former navy seal and he now worked for the Armstrong family after falling out with his superiors. It was because of the protection that Richard gave him that he stayed with them. Cash was effective, very effective. Due to his years in the m

16. "Wait wait wait! Richard, please wait," Cassy said with urgency. "We have history...""Mr Armstrong to you Mrs. Mr Armstrong. And yes, we may have history but today I am here for business and not personal issues," Richard said and at that moment, one of the men who had identified him spoke again. "It's true. You are Richard Armstrong. Though this picture is old but it's true. He's the first son of the Armstrong family of DC. Oh, wow!" The man said with admiration in his eyes. "What? Is that true? That's where I interned. They are the best. Oh my fucking God! We always heard of the young master and we never met him. So fucking nice to finally meet you in the flesh sir," the other man said with reverence. It was clear that these two knew about the Armstrong family but the rest either did not want to believe it or they thought it was one huge joke or even a dream."Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" Old Mrs Parker said as she banged the table and the two men sat down obediently but thei
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Billy Carter
Carter Real Estate Company was one of the largest in San Diego and it had its offices in Los Angeles. William, being a man who loves night life, wanted a city that would offer him the life he wanted and that city was LA. Thus, when he took over the leadership of his family's company after his father, he relocated his offices to Los Angeles although the headquarters remained in San Diego. Richard had done enough digging and had enough dirt to bury William and the whole of his family a thousand feet below the ground. What Richard and his people had discovered was that the Carters, didn't buy houses or land randomly. No. Their victims were carefully selected. They would look for a person whose house was on mortgage and the person was struggling. They would approve them with an offer of renovating the house, or even building a house at a very cheap price.With the prices offered, the client would agree and thank God because the deals were always heavenly. Cheap and affordable and the
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Plot to kill Richard
18.Within three days, the Carter family was history. It had been like a nightmare to William and his father. Billy didn't get any help from the Armstrongs and he was eventually arrested in DC and trying to run from the law became one of the things he was being accused of. People in California couldn't believe it. For the past several years since anyone could remember, you couldn't walk a block without seeing a Carter property. Be it a bank, a hotel, a gym, a hotel, a residential estate, you name it. Carter had ruled California for as long as people could remember. And now, they were gone just like that. What was even more amazing were the accusations they were facing: land grabbing, stealing, coercion, gun trafficking, tax evasion and many more.William was left without anything and the only place where he could live was with his wife's family. Funny thing he became a live in son in law - worse than he hated Richard for. At least Richard worked hard to make sure that he had a pl
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Angela and Macy
19. Macy Carli Philips was twenty five years ago in Royals Hospital in Wyoming where the Philips were living then with his new wife. Christopher had just got married and gotten a new job. Since Christopher Philips was the next in line for the patriarchy of the Philips family, their rules dictated that he had to work in another company for five years and rise in rank to show that he was able to run the Philips Group. While there, his wife got pregnant and she was taken to Royals Hospital in Cheyenne where they were living by then. What they didn't know was that the babies were switched in the hospital and another couple, Mr and Mrs Smith went with their child and they took the other family's. Eighteen years later, it was discovered when Angela, the one who was brought up by the Philips got very sick and she needed blood. It was discovered that her blood was the rarest type, type AB negative and RO sub type. When the two parents were tested one was type O positive and the other B
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir The report
20. "Andy?" Macy asked in a small voice that showed she feared what was coming. She didn't know where this was coming from or going and her heart told her that it won't be good. "I... I...," Andy began but he couldn't say anything else. "Just tell them Andy," Angela began. "What do you mean?" It was their father, Christopher Philips who asked this time while looking at his adoptive daughter. "Daddy, Macy slept with a random man when she got drunk that hight at the Gala and put it on Andy. Andy was just so nice that he didn't want to tell the truth but now he can't take it anymore," Angela said and everyone's eyes were how on Macy. "Andy? What's going on? What is Angela saying?" Macy asked with tears now in her eyes as she didn't even have an inkling of what Angela meant. "Oh, stop it! Stop pretending," Angela mocked and that made Macy's tears just fall heavily. "Andy?" Macy asked again and Andy looked at her. "I'm sorry Macy. That night after you got drunk you didn't go to ou
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Richard interferes
By the time Richard was done with watching all the video clips Asher had prepared, he was feeling like ending the Philips family. He couldn't understand how a family could hate their child so much. Weren't they happy finding their long lost daughter? "Give Diamond Studios ten million dollars as the final investment on the movie and there will only be one condition, cast Macy Philips in the part she wants. "Brother, are you sure?" Asher asked surprised. It wasn't that ten million was a lot for Richard but that he has never helped anyone else again. Richard was an ice block. He never cared about what others needed or wanted as long as it never involved him. All Richard did was donate to the philanthropic charities their family worked on and he did that anonymously. But this was an open war on the Philips. Why was Richard doing this? In one of the clips he watched, Macy and the rest of the crew who would be involved in the shooting of the movie Major Calamities were in the openin
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Mission
22.It had been a week and Macy was back to work and Richard was just there smoothing things out for the Dragon Empire without much to do. His days were low key as he supervised his daughter's meals, her meds, which had reduced and he was happy that she was good, supervising her homeschooling, playing for her, going to the office for a few hours and then coming back home to play with her. He didn't want to inconvenience Macy by sending Melvin to her because he knew that she is busy getting ready for the upcoming shooting. May had managed to infiltrate the crew by pretending to be Macy's assistant. From the report he got from May, Angela was fuming. She wondered how and why Macy got an assistant. She, Angela, was the one allowed to assign one to her and since, according to Angela, Macy wasn't a star like her, she didn't need an assistant. Thus, Angela asked May to leave because she won't be paid and Macy said that she was there because she was Macy's friend and had decided to help

128. By the time Richard and Macy were done with entertaining the guests, time was far much spent.They thus decided to retire to their room and then leave for their honeymoon the next morning. Richard carried Macy across the threshold as was traditionally unacceptable for a groom to let his wife to enter the door walking in her first day as a wedded wife.Macy was so happy that she felt as if whatever she had going through was being compensated. By the time Richard was placing her on the bed that had been decorated with red roses, her ribs were tired from all the laughing.She was happy.She had two children and a man who adored her. She could not ask for more. “Do you want to take a bath first?” Richard asked her after helping her take off the high heeled shoes she had been wearing.“Yes. I will go first,” she told him.“Okay. I will help you prepare the bathtub," he offered."No. That's okay. I want to have a shower because I am tired. I just want to lay down,” she said and he n

127. The moment was intimate and all Richard could see was Macy. He didn't want to think of everyone gathered in the hall because he hated crowds and the reason why he did all this was for her.Another reason he held this wedding on an island was to make sure that not many people attended.The air was charged with excitement as those gathered waited to hear what Richard would say. Some wondered if it would be as heart touching as Macy's or if it would be blunt. As Richard took a deep breath, the crowd fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. He turned to Macey, her eyes sparkling with joy, and began to speak the words he had carefully crafted in his heart. “Macy,” he started, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion, “from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. You are my rock, my confidante, and my greatest adventure. With you, I have found a love that I never knew existed.”Tears glimmered in Macey’s eyes as Richard continued, recountin

Please find it in your heart to forgive us," Mrs Phillips said and Macy just stood there both embarrassed and angry.She wondered why they had to make a scene even though she had allowed them in.“We are also thankful that you allowed us to your wedding. Thank you so much darling," her father added.“Just sit and let us continue," Macy said feeling all embarrassed because there were other people in the hall who weren't family and although it wasn't a secret now after the live broadcast of Angela washing her dirty linen in public that these people had neglected their own daughter and nurtured the one who had killed their own son, she wasn't ready to deal with them.This was supposed to be her day and not theirs.“No, darling. We won't sit unless you say that you have forgiven us," her mother, Mrs Phillips, said and she sighed.“You do realise that today is supposed to be about me and not you, right?" Macy asked the two wh

But now, she really looked like a girl.Macy stood on the left side of Richard where she was directed and they faced the people.She hadn't gotten the time to look at this place since they obviously had got there at night and she hadn't gone around since, well, she was getting ready for this.The hall wasn't as big and she even didn't know that they were on an island but she felt the waves hit rocks and she, at first, thought that

He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this woman and no one else. As he lay on the bed his gaze lingered on Macy with a hard to describe smile on his face. He couldn't believe that he had been this lucky.He also smiled when he remembered when he was drugged by his brother. He almost killed his brother but now, he was happy and he would even reward Asher with the latest Tesla that he had been asking for.They had arrived at his uncle's villa on the Indi

123. “Mom, hurry up, we have to leave," Mel hurried her mother who was still getting ready. It wasn't that Macy wasn't ready it was just that she had just been informed by her man that they were leaving in an hour's time and they were going for a vacation. “What should I carry? Why didn't you tell me at least yesterday and I would have gotten ready!" She had complained wondering where to start. “Don't worry about that. It was a surprise and we already packed for you. All we want is for you to go with us," he has said and the children had beamed. “Yes ma, just wear something and let's leave. This will be my first vacation with my real family," Jared had urged and that was how Macy had found herself getting ready and now, she was wondering what to wear because she had even forgotten to ask where they were going. “Where are we going again? What do I wear?" She shouted from her bedroom and Richard shouted back, “just wear anything. One of those cute dresses of yours.” "Yes mama. The

"A wedding?" Ash asked, low-set ginger brows furrowing even deeper."Why so fast?" He shouted this time."A wedding," Richard said with a slow grin,and a collective set of gasps filled theair. "I'm gonna marry her on the thirtyfirst this month. I want to belong to her, legally. I want to say those vows you see in movies, to give her not just my mind and body and heart, but the very essence of my soul. I want to give it all since I'm in this relationship for the forever haul.""Er, a-a-actually, uh," Kyle stammered, looking flustered, "well, um... y-yeah,we could do that.
