DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate CHAPTER FOURTEEN
“A common waiter dared to steal from me? You must not like your pathetic life anymore!?” Terrence yelled at Devin again, who just stood looking at him.“Yeah. How dare you, douchebag? Don't you know your fingers can be cut off if you steal from Boss Terrance?” The Foreman suddenly chipped in while he rose to his feet.Devin chuckled.“This loser's obviously playing you for a fool. He's the one who stole your gift, not me,” Devin replied to Terrance and crossed his arms.“He wants to have your favor by all means. It's as clear as day,” Devin added. The Foreman gasped.“Lies! This is defamation. I only took the gift to stop this animal from stealing it. And now you fucking dare to lie against me?”The Foreman rolled up his sleeves.“I'll teach you a fucking lesson!” He snapped at Devin and hurled at him, but Devin grabbed his hands, twisted them, and kicked him to the ground.The Foreman fell on a table and it shattered. With a bleeding nose, he stood up.“That's it! I'm fucking firing

“No… wait… please! I'm begging you!” Terrence fell on his knees before Devin, gripping his trousers. “Have mercy!” He begged again. “You have forfeited your shares due to your insolence!” Elijah said again and then turned to the bodyguards. “Get this clown out of here!” “No! Please! You can't do this to me…” Terrence cried as the bodyguards, the same ones he instructed to beat Devin up, dragged him out ruthlessly. The Foreman thought he was safe and wanted to run, but Elijah pointed to him. “Beat this one up!” He commanded, as before the Foreman could run, bodyguards grabbed him and beat him to the pup. He cried and begged as they dragged him out of the hall. Everyone was silent. They knew Elijah was not to be messed with, but the way Devin composed himself without wincing told them he, too, had a brave heart. “Mr Markus. Thank you for speaking up against such injustice earlier,” Devin said to Markus who smiled. “It was my pleasure to help, young master,” Markus said wi
DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate CHAPTER SIXTEEN
After returning home that night, Devin felt his body temperature rising as soon as he stepped into his mansion. He took a deep breath as countless energy surged wildly inside his body, as if it was about to burst out of his body. Devin let out a groan. He quickly wore the necklace left to him by his mother, and the restlessness gradually subsided. When he opened his eyes again, Devin felt that his body was full of strength. The surge was gone, and so was the turbulence. “What was that?” Devin whispered and turned to go into his suite. But as he casually slapped his hand on the wall, Devin leaves a palm print there, without his notice. *** But for Kia, ever since the incident at Luther's wedding, she has been confined at home. “You can't keep me locked up in here, stepmother. I did my best!” Kia argued her case as her stepmother, Rhea, approached her in the living room. “Your best? Kia your best doesn't mean shit! You were supposed to secure a contract with Luther Banks at

“Who the fuck do you think you are? Huh? I've been patient with you for so long!” Gloria yelled at Kia. “Aunt Gloria, give me my phone please!” Kia demanded but Gloria placed the phone inside her purse. Kia reached in and took it back. “Malcolm is the man that will save this family. Now, I don't give a fuck whether you have a boyfriend or not. You're marrying Malcom and that is fucking final!” Gloria yelled again and Rhea laughed. “Yes, Kia. We don't give a fuck about your fantasies. No one does. You are a vessel that will bring money to this family. You're getting married whether you like it or not!” Rhea added. “You can't decide my life for me!” Kia protested. “We just did!” Gloria shot back at her. Kia turned to her father for support again but Ben looked away. “I can only stop this if your boyfriend is doing better than Malcolm. I'm sorry Kia,” he told her. As tears fell from Kia's face, Malcolm proceeded to wipe them off with his stinky hands. “Don't worry, love. I w
DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Malcolm trudged to Devin with a frown on his face. But at that point, Devin was getting irritated by his attitude. “The man you just mentioned is my boss. How dare you defame my boss by hiring someone to pretend to be him?” “I should lock your sorry ass up in jail for this disgusting and shameless behavior!” Malcolm snapped at Devin. “Why don't you just shut the fuck up, man?” Devin snapped at him but Rhea reacted. “Don’t talk to him that way! Is he right? Did you really pay someone to pretend to be Henry Blake?” She asked. “I did not!” Devin replied to her but Gloria cackled. “Even now, the shameless idiot still has the guts to lie. It's obviously a scam, to deceive us!” Gloria chipped in. “Is this the kind of man you want to spend the rest of your life with? A pathetic liar and a cheat?” She asked Kia who flushed with embarrassment. “He was obviously trying to show off with wealth that he doesn't have- affluence that he'll never bag in the rest of his pathetic life-”
DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate CHAPTER NINETEEN
Luther dialed Malcolm's number for the millionth time. As always, it went straight to voicemail.“Ah! The motherfucker isn't picking up!” Luther groaned as he stepped down from his car. Amanda alighted from the passager's side, her expression gloomy.“Just relax Luther. I'm sure it's nothing,” she said, exasperated. Luther shot her a glare as they approached D&M Metalworks, a Subsidiary of The Stonehenge Conglomerate.“Malcolm is the manager of this subsidiary. And I'm processing an ongoing deal with him. If he's not picking up his phone, then something is wrong with my deal!” Luther shot back at her.But Amanda rolled her eyes. “I still believe you're overreacting-”“Are you daft? Yvonne Hall, who was with that useless, golddigger ex-fiance of yours, might have made moves to terminate my deal! This deal is worth millions of dollars in Equity and Returns, and I cannot afford to lose it!” Luther cut her off.“Yeah! Fine! You don't have to yell about it!” Amanda retorted and stepped int

“I refuse to believe it! Henry Blake cannot partner with a brainless, big-breasted, broke-ass bitch like you!” Luther tried to fight on, but deep down, he could already tell that the deal was lost.Kia was embarrassed by the comment, but Devin suddenly chipped in.“And does your manager friend still pick your calls? I bet he has nothing to say to you now,” Devin said to Luther.“You fucking bastard!” Luther cursed Devin who just laughed at him. His mind was raging with vain emotions. And when he wanted to hurl at Devin, Henry's secretary walked towards them.Luther recognized her immediately. Believing she had come to welcome him, Luther approached her, but she snubbed him and went straight to Devin and Kia.“Hello, sir. Good day, ma'am. I'm glad to have you here with us today. Henry Blake is waiting. Please, follow me,” she said with a bright smile.But just as they were about to leave, Luther blocked her path. “Hell no! You're not going anywhere! How can you leave me here to attend
DEVIN STONE: Rise of the Billionaire Magnate CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
“Get the fuck out of here. Shameless fools!” The Police shoved Luther and Amanda out of the station as soon as they paid their bail. Amanda nearly fell, but Luther didn't care.“Can't you help me out here? I'm carrying your child!” She groaned as she stood to her feet. Luther shot her a glare.“You made me lose five hundred thousand dollars today on bail. If you wanted to help earlier, you would have been more convincing about the miscarriage!” He retorted. Amanda chuckled.“This isn't my fault. I only wanted to support you-”“Just shut up and let me think!” He cut her off. Amanda didn't say another word. The price to pay for all the expensive things that Luther buys for her is to be treated like trash.Luther took out his phone and dialed Malcolm's number again. Surprisingly, he picked up.“Where the fuck have you been, man? I've been calling you for ages!” Luther yelled at Malcolm over the phone. Malcolm sighed.“A lot has happened. Plus, I was ashamed of myself for I have nothing

“Amanda. Of course, it's you. No one here has a voice as annoying as yours. Although, by now, I thought you'd be shutting the fuck up in public,” Kia retorted, and Amanda chuckled.“Bitch, don't try to be cute. It doesn't suit you. Your place is in the dirty kitchen of some old, worn-out man,” Amanda said and smiled.“And where is that useless boyfriend of yours? Your fellow liar and golddigger? Or has he abandoned you already?” Amanda asked and laughed, but Kia just drank her champagne in silence.“Aw. He must have gotten the attention of another woman and now you feel used. U wish I could say sorry to you, but you deserve to be treated like trash,” Amanda added.Kia placed her glass down and turned to Amanda.“That's rich coming from you. After cheating on him, you're still shameless enough to be obsessed with him. What does that say about you? Slut!” Kia retorted.Amanda saw how furious Kia was. She suspected that something had pissed her off and she didn't want to pick a fight she

“How dare you even suggest that rubbish to me? Do I look like one of your cheap whores that you can use and dispose of?” Petra yelled at Luther as he stood frozen on the spot.His hands were placed on the right cheek where Petra had slapped him. His eyes darted to Devin, who stood there, arms crossed, with a smirk on his face.A wave of anger came upon Luther as he saw the smirk.“That bloody asshole is manipulating you and you can't even fucking see it!” He yelled back at Petra.“Is he yelling at Petra? She's too important to be treated like trash,”“He shouldn't have done that. Now he has to make amends,”“What if she doesn't forgive him? She has influence. She can ruin his life,” Several talks filled the air and Luther could hear them. Petra angered even more, stood in defiance.“You have abused and insulted me, Luther. And I demand an apology,” she said and crossed her arms.Luther sighed. He couldn't afford to have the public opinion turned against him, especially not now that h
CHAPTER FORTY NINE
“What did you just say to me?” Luther fumed and slammed Jim's head again. Jim tried to fight back but Luther was bigger and stronger than he was. He stood no chance.“Forgive me… please!” Jim started begging.“If you say a word of what you saw to your sister, I'll fucking kill you, slowly. Do you understand, you useless brat?” He yelled at Jim, who shook his head quickly.Luther gave him another punch in the face and walked away as Jim bled on the ground. “Fucking rabbit!” Luther cursed over and over again and trudged to the lobby. His eyes roamed for a familiar sight, but everyone was stealing glances at him, wondering how he could be walking free even when he had a five-year sentence.“How powerful is he that he can walk away from such a sentence?”“He must have friends in high places. I wouldn't want to cross him!”“Luther has always been amazing. Everyone knows this. It's best you be on your best behavior when you're around him,” more and more whispers followed.Luther enjoyed th

Petra's phone call had changed the mood in an instant. And Kia had gone from the flirty, wild side of her to the cold nature.Devin knew not to engage her in a conversation. He just wanted the night to be done and over with in a swift time.Finally driving to the auction, Devin helped her step out of the car. But she wasn't even looking at him anymore.“I wanna go grab something to drink,” she said and walked away from him and went to mingle. Devin watched her and sighed. “Trouble in paradise?” Jim, Amanda's brother suddenly said to Devin and approached him, holding a drink in his hand. He faked a smile, but his intention was to hurt Devin.“For someone who pretends to be a top shot, you sure don't know how to handle women. Or let me guess, Yvonne Hall dumped your sorry ass when she found you cheating on her with Kia?” Jim asked again and chuckled.But Devin was still silent. He was irritated by Jim's presence and did not even want to say a word to him.“Are you fucking ignoring me?
CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
“Are you certain that you want to come with me to the auction?” Devin asked Kia while she wore the expensive necklace he bought for her. She kept her eyes fixed in the mirror, not taking them off for a second.“Yes. I want to. Petra asked you to be her bodyguard. Well, you can be my bodyguard too,” she replied jealously. Devin smiled. He approached her and hugged her from behind. “You know you're the only woman in my heart, right? I will never do anything to hurt you,” he told her and kissed her cheeks.Kia moaned lightly and shut her eyes. “That doesn't mean that I cannot fight to keep you. I'm coming, Devin. That's final,” she added.Devin raised his hands in submission. “Alright. Let's have a great night,” he added before he walked out of the room.In a few minutes, Kia was ready and they headed to the auction. Devin drove his Porshe. He had asked Dreykov to stay behind for the night, as he didn't want any extra attention at the auction.While he drove, Kia looked into the mirror.

“Petra Knight. This is a pleasant surprise,” Devin said as he picked up his phone. He just stepped out of the police station to review any case files regarding the egg.“Really? Weren't you at least curious to hear my voice again?” She asked him in a flirtatious voice.“Have you forgotten that we are betrothed?” She asked again and Devin sighed.“I thought we were past that now,” he said and got into his car.“I don't think we will ever be past that, Devin. You've impressed me. And I'm not easily impressed,” she said.“Look, Petra. You are a lovely lady. Beautiful, successful, and simply amazing. But I am in love with someone else. And I don't want to break up with her,” Devin told her but Petra scoffed.“Spend a night with me first and you'll see I'm really worth the shot,” she propositioned. Devin's lips curled into a smile.“I'm not doing that. Why did you really call me, Petra?” He asked her. By that time, his car came to a stop in the traffic. His fingers tapped the steering ligh
CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
The prison door buzzed and Luther walked through to the phone booth. His eyes lit up with intrigue when he saw the visitor he had that afternoon, a person he never thought he'd see.“Well well, who do we have here? Did the wind blow you into this place or something?” He chuckled as he took his seat.Vera smirked, gracefully picking up the telephone. “It is good to see you, husband. They're not treating you as badly as I would have hoped. By now, I expected you to be nothing more than bones and sores,” she said with a bright smile on her face.“Yeah, bitch? Well, lucky for me, I did what I always do. Played my cards right. You know, when you're finally in prison, you might want to try that,” Luther replied to her with a smirk.Vera chuckled, brushing the hair off her face. “This is your space, Luther. Enjoy it. I can never be in there with you,” she told him and leaned back.Luther's smile faded slowly. “So, why the fuck have you come? I didn't see you at my trial. You refused to send

“Ma'am! I didn't see you coming,” the assistant said to Vera who still held her hand in the mid-air, clenching it tight.“Is this how you go about harassing people just because you work for me?” Vera asked her, but the assistant muttered.“No, ma'am. It's not what you think. The fucker started it!” The assistant accused but Vera pushed her hand off.The assistant staggered back and nearly fell. “And now you're still fucking lying to me? How daft do you think I am?” Vera yelled at her.“Apologize to him. Now!” She added.The assistant baited her eye, glancing at Devin.“But ma'am, he should be the one to apologise. He even said hurtful things to me,” the assistant argued but Vera cut her off.“Apologize or you lose your fucking job!” She yelled at the assistant. Terrified of losing her job, the assistant bowed her head before Devin.“I'm sorry for what happened, sir. It will not repeat itself,” she said but Vera frowned.“Apologize on your knees,” she said to the assistant who gasped.
CHAPTER FORTY THREE
“What is it?” Luther asked her. Lila sighed while she quickly looked for a place to park her car.“Are you interested in making an investment? I promise it'll give back everything you've ever lost!” She said to him.“What sort of investment?” “An egg. Rumour has it the egg has magic. Apparently, there are people in our world called cultivators and the egg can grant them a boost in their powers,” Lila explained.On the other side of the phone, Luther's eyes opened wide while he listened to her explaining.“If it's true, and I can gift this egg to King Viper, then I'll be able to get him to do anything for me in the Future,” he thought to himself.“How much are we talking about?” He asked her.“Well, millions… but that is not even the issue right now. The museum where we stole, well, took it from, they're looking for the egg.”“And they've asked Devin to find it,” she added.Luther frowned when she mentioned Devin's name. He clenched his fist and gnashed his teeth until his jaws harden
