Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 14
Chris called for a waiter as soon as they had settled down and they all placed their orders. While they waited for him to return with their food, Mabel decided to start up a conversation."So Chris," Mabel started with a smile. "You say this is your new woman?""Of course," Chris nodded, entwining his hands in Monica's. "Met her a few weeks ago and we started talking then."He said that last part on purpose to spite Mabel, and make her realize that even when they had been married, he was already seeing another woman.It worked like magic as Mabel's face went bright red with embarrassment immediately."You were seeing her when we were married?" Mabel queried."We were just friends then," Chris shrugged. "But after our divorce, I put out a call to her. Turns out she liked me more than I thought and here we are now."Mabel scoffed and locked gazes with Monica for a while."So how did you meet him?" Mabel queried."We met at a local restaurant," Monica said. "I had just lost my card and h

The whole table went silent at Arthur's unexpected reaction and it was Mabel who spoke up first."Bet?" She asked, her brows creased at him. "What bet are you talking about?""Shit!" Arthur cursed in his head. He knew that he couldn't tell Mabel about the bet, as that would mean he is the loser automatically. Chris watched on, with a wide grin on his face. He really wanted to see how Arthur would get himself out of the mess. "I placed a bet on some hockey games," Arthur replied with a dismissive wave of his hand. "And no one is leaving this vacation until I win. I want us to celebrate it together."Mabel frowned at his explanation, but before she could say anymore, Chris started clapping."Bravo, Arthur," Chris said with a low chuckle. "Bravo."The pair glared hard at each other for a while before Chris continued."No one is leaving here until the bet is over," Chris added. "I can assure you of that.""Of course," Arthur smiled. "A bet I would very well win."Mabel watched on in con

Mabel pushed the door open slowly and peeped inside. The sight of Chris and Monica together in a jacuzzi greeted her and she was immediately shocked to the bone."Was Monica the secret business partner or what?" She muttered to herself.Chris watched as she stared on in confusion and he cleared his throat."Anything the matter, Mabel?" Chris asked. "As you can see, we're busy here.""She can join us if she likes," Monica said and winked at Mabel."I'm not here to speak with you," Mabel grunted to Monica. "Excuse us.""She's not leaving here," Chris retorted. "What do you want?""We need to speak, Chris," Mabel replied. She was already desperate, seeing that her plan to catch him had failed."I trust Monica," Chris said. "Whatever you want to discuss with me, you can say it in her presence.""I'm begging you Chris," Mabel pleaded. "Consider what we once had and listen to me this once. I have something important to tell you."Chris could almost not believe his ears. How could Mabel of a

When Chris went back to his room, he found Monica lying on the bed. There was a piece of paper in her hand and she was smiling as she stared at it."From the maid?" Chris asked."Yeah," Monica nodded. "From the letter, she seemed really happy."She glanced up at Chris and continued."It's amazing how a little sum of money can mean that much to some people out there."Chris could only smile at Monica's remarks. A week ago, fifty thousand dollars would have been enough to change his life, but now, he had more than enough. He was happy though as he had been able to help the lady."She deserved it more than my ex wife," Chris replied with a shrug. "Certainly," Monica nodded. "Mabel doesn't deserve anything good."There was an uncomfortable silence between them for a while before Monica broke it finally. "And I know this doesn't count for anything, but once again, I'm sorry," She said. "I'm sorry for not being able to tell your father the truth earlier.""We've gone through that already,

The gala night came sooner than expected. Chris had been skeptical of the success of their plan at the event, but Monica had urged him to remain calm and trust her. According to her, she had got everything covered. Some minutes past 9pm, a few guests had started coming in. Chris had a representative wait at the door of the grand hall, to welcome all the guests while he watched as they smiled, shook hands and kissed each other's cheeks."The fake love," Chris thought to himself.He was disgusted by the sight of it - so many rich people gathered together for the sole purpose of giving a tenth of the wealth they had stolen from the masses back to the poor. To them, they were being very generous. To him however, they were nothing more than a bunch of thieves who wanted to cover up their evil deeds with a little generosity.Chris watched from the top floor as more people trooped in, and soon enough, he locked gazes with a man on an ink black suit. Everything about this man smelled like tr
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 19
A rapturous cheer went up amongst the crowd as the aged man rose up from his seat at the high table. Chris stared at him from his vantage position at the top floor, wondering how long this man had been stealing from the poor masses."From a heart filled with generosity," Sir Jimmy croaked. "I would like to donate the grand sum of three hundred thousand dollars as a form of support for the victims in Palestine."Everyone clapped and cheered as soon as he was done and the MC walked up to him. They had a short discussion after which the MC held up a card in his hand."Please note that for tonight's donation, pledges are not allowed. Donations are made only in cash, cheque or card transfer."Everyone muttered in agreement and Arthur gasped in shock. The realization of what was going on slowly began to hit him. It was a charity event and the richest men in the country were there. He had been made the special guest of the event and would obviously be expected to donate an even larger sum o
Chris Bolton's Unexpected Rise To Wealth And Fame CHAPTER 20
The crowd turned immediately in the direction of Chris and everyone struggled to get a good view of him. A series of murmurs went up amongst the crowd as they wondered who the handsome young man who could donate that much was. The MC turned to Chris and started towards him and the latter rose to his feet, elated. This was his chance to get the ultimate revenge, to disgrace the duo publicly, and he was going to revel in the moment. "Chris Bolton," The MC announced with a smile. "Let's once again give it up for Chris Bolton." Everyone clapped and cheered and Chris waited for the noise to die down before speaking again. "As a shareholder and close friend of Sir Arthur McDoyle, I would like to donate on his behalf," Chris started. The MC nodded and Chris continued. "However, I don't want the money refunded to me." A series of murmurs went up amongst the crowd again. Everyone was whispering about the handsome man who was doing the impossible. How could he be donating so much to chari

Arthur felt like his whole world was crashing down.He had no idea what to do the moment Mabel walked out on him. Everyone was still watching as the video played on the screen and they were saying hurtful things about him. He could hear them whisper on about how dumb he was, not to have noticed that she had only been using him all the while.Arthur balled his fists in anger and when he rose up to his feet, all he could see was Chris chuckling at him. The look on the bastard's face irritated him greatly and he swore that he was going to deal with him there and then.Arthur pulled off his coat, and folded his sleeves as he made his way towards the stairs leading to the top floor where Chris was. Monica who had been watching from a vantage position all the while beeped Chris immediately."Arthur," She muttered. "He's coming for you. Should I take him out?""No," Chris smiled. "I would rather do that myself. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."He removed the airpod from h

CHAPTER 182
Thomas Bolton grabbed a dagger and lunged at Richard with a scream and just as he was about to drive it straight through his heart, Richard quickly sidestepped and the dagger grazed his arm slightly and Thomas fell to the ground. As he struggled to get to his feet, he heard a gunshot and felt a pain sear through his left foot. Bloody bastards!! Getting shot in the foot again!! He felt two pair of arms grab him and place him firmly back on his sit. As he sat, Chris grabbed a pistol from the weapons strap on the waist of one of the guards and pointed it at Thomas' head and cocked it and Thomas smiled at him."I don't think your pretty woman's going to like you very much if you kill me now." Thomas said with a smirk. "I mean, I haven't gotten around to telling her about her lost sibling and believe me, she'd really like to know that," he finished and Chris lowered the gun. "What? You know my siblings whereabouts?" Sarah asked and looked at him with teary eyes. "Of course I do. I kep

CHAPTER 181
Thomas Bolton stared at Richard then looked at the gun in his hand. He felt betrayed. Just when he had shown a little trust in him, he had taken advantage of that trust and stabbed him in the freaking back. He had sold him to his enemies and for how much, he wondered. He looked back up at Richard and could see that his eyes were emotionless, almost like he had sold his soul or something. Thomas wondered if that change had been present in him all week and he had just been too oblivious to notice it or if Richard had actually done a very good job of masking it. What had turned him that way? He turned to look at Chris Bolton and his company. He recognized both ladies well enough. He had held one hostage amd the other, he had killed her father. Well, Chris Bolton had certainly picked his crew right. Between all three of them who seemed to be head of the group, he had certainly caused them a lot of pain and hurt. He tore his eyes away from the three of them and looked at Victor. Now that o

CHAPTER 180
Chris Bolton was sitted in Michael Bolton's study with his laptop open in front of him but his mind was occupied. He is was in love with Sarah but couldn't confess it and he knew it wasn't because he was scared of being rejected by her or because he was worried about his father not accepting it. The reason he was worried about expressing his feelings for Sarah was because of Monica. He couldn't deny the fact that they had both had some tension between them when they had initially met. He had most certainly had something for her and he felt like she she had also had a thing for him, but he wasn't sure if she still had it. He has tried not to acknowledge his feelings for Sarah for a long time because he had felt like they made him disloyal to Monica, especially if she still had those feelings. What was he going to do? Was he supposed to just ask her? Wasn't that___? His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door and just as he opened his mouth to call for whoever it w

CHAPTER 179
Richard aimed his gun at Luke Freeman and cocked it. Like his client Thomas Bolton, the bastard didn't deserve to live. He deserved to die and Richard without a doubt had absolutely no issue in giving him what he deserved. Besides, Thomas Bolton had betrayed him and there was no saying that the smart lawyer wouldn't betray him too. After all, it was just that afternoon that Thomas Bolton had reminded him about the possibility and risks of conversations being recorded. There was no saying that the sneaky smart ass hadn't recorded their conversation with plans to have him reported and arrested. Who knew? He really couldn't trust anyone. There was no saying that Luke Freeman wouldn't betray him because when all was said and done, Richard didn't actually have a single soul in the universe he could rely on to look out for him. He thought he had totally gotten rid of his little hopes and expectations of good from Thomas Bolton but apparently he hadn't because he could feel a tear trickle do

CHAPTER 178
Luke Freeman wordlessly took the sit Richard had motioned him into with the gun in his hand. Wasn't he the adopted son of Thomas Bolton? What did he want with him? Had they had an issue earlier in the day? Why was he in his house at such a time of the night and with a freaking handgun in his damned hand? What could he do? Should he try to set off an alarm or something? What warning signal could he send his neighbours that would alert them that he was in danger? His neighbourhood was actually quite a quiet one full of people who minded their business so the chances of anyone actually noticing whatever signal he gave was a pretty slim one and the chances of anyone noticing that signal and actually acting on it was next to non-existent. He was certainly toasted. The young man with handgun which he was freely brandishing at him, could kill him and no one would know. Why on Earth had he given in to his tiredness and not listened to the voice that had told him to stay back at the office and

CHAPTER 177
Richard remained sitted in his position as he replayed the conversation he had just listened to in his head. Well. Well. Well. It seemed like sneakily getting a voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation had most certainly paid off. So Thomas Bolton wanted to make some changes and adjustments to his will now, did he? That had without a doubt been the most - if not the only - important and interesting part of their conversation for Richard. He had to give it to his sixth senses for making him listen to that voice recording till the end of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. What were the present contents of Thomas Bolton's will? What "changes and adjustments" could he possibly want to make? As far as Richard could tell he was the only heir of the old and insufferable bastard. Yes he was adopted but he was quite sure he was the only heir of Thomas Bolton. Didn't that naturally mean he was supposed to be the sole inheritor to all of the annoying geezer's

CHAPTER 176
It had been almost three hours since that annoying brat, Luke Freeman had appeared after being sent straight from hell to disturb Richard's peaceful afternoon and after haven restlessly and absent-mindedly seen a movie, Richard was itching to go get his phone and listen to the voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. He had instructed a maid to immediately inform him about Luke Freeman's departure but she still hadn't shown up. What on Earth could the two men be talking about for so long anyways? As his mind raced with the endless possibilities about the contents of their conversation, he heard a faint knock on his door and he bolted out of his bed and rushed at the door. He opened the door and as soon as he saw the maid standing there he rushed past her without waiting for her to say a word. He headed straight for Thomas Bolton's lounge and he tried his best not to run and only appear like someone who had urgent and important matters to deal with. He soon go

CHAPTER 175
Chris Bolton stood at the entrance of Sarah's room as the realization that he was in love with her hit him. He had tried to ignore these feelings because they had been trying to get attention at a wrong time, but he couldn't ignore them anymore, not after seeing her sitted on her bed with her hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun and her upper body covered in a big sweater and that innocently welcoming smile on her face. He couldn't say for sure how long he had felt that way but he could say for sure that his feelings were very much there and alive. They actually explained a lot. They explained why he had recently began to feel so drawn to Sarah. He had tried to ignore and not acknowledge them but that hadn't sent them away. If anything, it seemed like ignoring and not acknowledging them had probably only helped them quietly grow stronger. He stood at the door and stared at her even as his discovery opened up a dam of thoughts in his head. Why had he been doing his best to igno

CHAPTER 174
In Thomas Bolton's lounge, Richard continued to take in the stranger who had walked into the lounge a little under a minute ago. From his rectangular rimless glasses to his suit pants and shirt and down to the black attorneys bag he was carrying, he certainly wasn't their usual type of company and Richard wasn't sure how he felt about him. While he didn't seem to spell danger, Richard also didn't care for his presence in the lounge as he had never really been a fan of strangers, especially when they did what he considered to be an invasion of his comfort space and invade his comfort space, this stranger was. Technically it was Thomas Bolton's but who cared? Thomas had come to accept Richard's constant presence in the lounge and Richard had definitely been enjoying it but at that moment, the stranger was taking away his comfort and Richard didn't like it one bit. He looked at him with his left eyebrow raised but the stranger just kept smiling at him. What was he? A robot? A raised eyeb
