Hidden Fortune’s Heir It was gift
Back inside the mansion, Caroline was still struggling to gulp down the food she was hurriedly eating since she was left alone in the middle of hot stares at her body.Rachel, who saw Harrison leaving, couldn’t help but approach Caroline with disgust carved on her face. She needed to put Caroline back in her place and warn her about what she had done.“Enjoying the food, huh? I’ll see if you’ll do any good in Sterling Corporation tomorrow” she teased, but anger was evident in her voice.“I… I’ll try my best Mom, Caroline replied nervously. Then she choked up on a chunk of meat she wanted to gulp down and quickly reached for a cup of water to get it down, but Rachel grabbed the cup before her.“You don't deserve to use this cup!” She sneered.“Please… Mom… I need water please” Caroline begged. Her eyes had turned red. She needed water to force the lump down her throat but Rachel didn’t look like she would let her have it.“Please? Why don't you use wine instead?” Rachel said with a cha
Hidden Fortune’s Heir I won’t let you rob this old man
Harrison stood smiling as he watched them, eagerly waiting for what was going to play out. He knew Linda wouldn’t dare to try such when she knew who he was. She kept looking at him and then back to Rachel, not knowing what to do. If she calls the cops on Harrison, then it would end up terrible for her, but also if she tells Rachel then she might face equal wrath.But then she figured Harrison’s punishment would be worse so she thought of deluding instead.“Mom, with what happened before, are you sure you want to drag the cops into this? If grandmother hears this again she would be more than pissed” Linda was careful as she spoke to not anger both parties. Lucky for her, she was able to address the matter soothingly.However, Rachel, who heard this, could only gulp down. Truth be told that had skipped her mind, but Linda reminded her. If she had acted how she sees fit, then grandmother's wrath would befall on her.“I see you guys don’t have anything to say. If you will excuse me, I’ll
Hidden Fortune’s Heir You have always hunted my life!
“What the fuck are you doing dressed like that?” Harrison was dumbstruck. He knew Larry to be someone pompous. He always sees the poor as filth, yet he was the same person who was on the street trying to rob a poor man.“You stole my life, you shit. Who could have thought you were some big shot? You took everything from us and even sent us to the street” Larry sneered. Out of anger, he pointed the gun appropriately at Harrison intending to kill him. How hard he suffered all those while, he wanted to vanquish all those hatreds now.He was shot under Harrison's orders, and the latter even had the guts to call off the partnership they had with Sterling Corporation, making their company’s value and profit subside. His dad even resulted in using his shareholder to get some cash, yet Harrison spoiled everything.It had been Harrison ever since that day. It even felt like Harrison would hunt him his entire life after he saw him here again today.“You two know each other?” The old man was awe
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Surpassing my expectations
“Yes sir. Here is a prepared strategy about what the Samson family is going to offer if we are given a chance to partner with sterling cooperation” Caroline nervously spoke, but then she knew she had to be strong to explain everything in detail, so she could win his favor.Somehow, Ramon didn’t seem cold or harsh at her. He even had a smile as she was explaining, which seemed very shocking to her. Honestly, she had thought he would send her off since that was what her stepbrother and sister said happened to them.Looking at the paper in her hand, Ramon didn’t think she needed to prepare one since she was quite audible and courageous as she spoke. He had suspected her plan would be good already and wanted to just go ahead and accept her.But then he remembered how Harrison had warned him not to make anything simple or else she wouldn’t feel like she got it. It might either look suspicious to her or maybe she might think Ramon had ulterior motives.“Just go ahead and tell me what you ha
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Speak the truth
Walking out of Sterling Corporation, a broad smile was itched around Caroline's face. She looked around the place, hoping to find Harrison waiting for her, but he wasn’t.The place was crowded with people and cabs. After searching she still couldn’t find him.“Wife? You are out already?” Harrison spoke. She was looking the other way when he came from behind her.“Where have you been? I have waited for a long time " She frowned.“I am sorry, wife. I only went to help someone across the road” he said, but was also intending not to tell her everything. If she knew he was involved with Larry, she would be worried again. He didn’t want that, so he thought of lying if she asked further questions.“Went to help someone?” She repeated.“Yes. By the way, what news do you have? Were you accepted?” Harrison asked, pretending not to know what the outcome would be. But then her expression turned sour, signifying there was bad news.“No. I don’t have any good news” she said, frowning, intending to
Hidden Fortune’s Heir It’s true! She got the contract!
“Are you going to talk to me in that manner, or you are going to give me a straight answer!” Rachel snapped. There can be no way Caroline could have gotten that partnership right? If so, Harrison would soar higher after getting his hands on that fifty percent profit share. Then that would be her worst nightmare.“I don’t see what’s hard here to understand. I said we had gotten the contract. Caroline did well, and now we have won their favor. Samson's family has now partnered with Sterling Corporation” Harrison said once again.“What? Did you get the contract?” Stephen asked, looking at Caroline to get a confirmation and when she nodded, he felt like slumping to the floor. “This can’t be real, right?” He gasped in shock.“It is, except you are finding it hard to believe? Why don’t you check their Instagram page to confirm? I am sure they must have posted it there” Harrison smirked.Quickly, Stephen pulled out his phone and started surfing the internet. He wanted to see if there was any
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Who are you calling?
“Mother, what do we do? You saw the look in his eyes, right? Harrison is going to be rich and when that happens? He will be on par with us. I am sure you wouldn’t want that” Stephen complained.“I know, and that’s why I have to think of something. I can’t allow Harrison to leave poverty. He deserves to be in it for the rest of his life” Rachel said expressionlessly and Stephen couldn’t help but smile.For the fact that she said she had a plan, he couldn’t help but agree with her. After all, both of them had mutual interests.Ring! Ring!Grandmother was in the line again and quickly Rachel picked up.“Hello Grandmother,” Rachel said quickly.“Rachel, I am hosting a party in the White House to celebrate the good news. Make sure to bring along Harrison and his wife as I will grant them what I have promised” Grandmother said again.“What you promised? But…” Rachel stammered, not knowing if it was advisable to bring up the topic over the phone.“What are you talking about? Speak up once!”
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Are you saying am filth?
“Do you have to be a prick in times like this? It’s my phone so why can’t I get it back” Harrison shot him a glare.“This is my house and I make the rules. I am entitled to know who you call within this building. Now tell me who you called before I go physical with you!” Stephen sparked. His eyes burned in hatred as he spoke. Though he seemed to be holding something in the leather bag but dropped it by the side to wreck Harrison up.Even though Rachel had warned him not to beat up Harrison yet, Stephen felt he needed to, so Harrison would realize where he should be.“You want to punch me?” Harrison asked with a taunting smile on his lips, knowing there was no way Stephen could win a fight against him. It could take five or six men to bring Harrison down, yet Stephen was getting high on himself, thinking he alone could handle the job.“You think I can’t?” Stephen fumed in anger.“I dare you!” Harrison smiled while pointing his eyes directly at his.“You punk!” Stephen sent a punch at H

The end
“You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h

A miscalculated plan
Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever

Boom!
Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu

Strange flowers
“Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu

An apology
“Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response. Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira

The callers intention
“Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi

Stand down
“What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any

Loyal to the young master
The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
