Hidden Fortune’s Heir I can see you are not ready to take over.
“What are you not telling me?” Harrison said with a frown after sensing there was more to Ramon's attitude. It looked like he was hiding something.“I am sorry if I have bothered you, but as you know, since you haven't taken over the company I can't tell you everything,” Ramon said with his head bent low.“Is that so? You are as well telling me to leave” Harrison sneered.“Forgive me, young master. I won't dare tell you that. I am just a no-one. Without you, I won't even exist or even be here” Ramon paid his respect.Harrison saw there wasn't time to drag things on. Who knows, maybe what Ramon was taking too long to say because it wasn't something that could be easily spoken.They walked for a while in the vast sitting room that was accommodating so many expensive things. The massive sofas in the room were facing a transparent glass that was exposing the city. Though it was night, one could have a clear view of the city from there.Harrison hasn't seen all parts of the house, but with
Hidden Fortune’s Heir It’s the right thing to do
Though it wasn't that convincing, because Harrison could never be above someone like Ramon, Caroline could only believe.It wouldn't make sense even if she forced herself to think that way.“Okay,” she said and both Harrison and Ramon released the breath they had been holding for long.Quickly Ramon stood up after playing the part well. He then looked behind Caroline and saw Lucas standing right there. Both men communicated through eye movement, and it looked like Ramon was blaming him for what happened.“We will be heading home now,” Harrison said quickly.“Okay, how about I offer you a ride?” Ramon offered.“No, you have done too much. At least bringing us here has lightened my wife's mood. I can't help but thank you so much” Harrison smiled.“It's fine. I only did what was right” Ramon replied.“We will take our leave then,” Harrison said and started walking towards the exit along with Caroline.Right before they hopped on the path, the old woman came in with a tray of food. Just a

Harrison felt dizzy. His body felt so weak, yet he felt like there were deep cuts on his body. After waking, he remembered exactly what happened and quickly wanted to take a stance to defend himself but after so much struggle he remained unmoving at a spot.Looking down at himself, he found a rope tied around him, restraining his movements. He tried and tried but to no avail. The rope was too strong for him to break free from.That aside, he looked around to examine where he was only to see he was in an abandoned warehouse. The place was so dark, but there was a little lamp hung up on the wall that was providing light to the place.The stench of rotten food filled the place, making his nose pungent.“Ahh, damn it!” Harrison cursed as the smell was so putridUnknown to him that his movement had alerted the figures who abducted him, and they came barging into the place thinking he had escaped. When they saw he was still bound to the chair but was awake, they quickly rushed to call their
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Do I look foolish to you?
Harrison couldn’t believe what his ears were hearing. He could have sworn that Ramon would never lie to him, so why was he hearing the latter did?Ramon promised to show Harrison his father when the time was right, but this man was telling him that his father was dead. How? Did Ramon lie, so Harrison would accept the company? Harrison felt so lost in his thoughts.“Well, that doesn't concern me. Our father left all his property in your name. Part of it should be mine. I suggest you know what that means?” The man grumbled.Harrison could now tell what his main intentions were. The man before him wasn't seeking revenge but wealth. He wanted part of Sterling Corporation but if so, why not confront Ramon himself?“Why don’t you meet Ramon and leave me out of this?” Harrison sneered.“What?” The man was baffled by Harrison's reply. Why was the lad looking like he wasn’t affected by what he said, or did he not care or what?“Are you telling me you aren't concerned about your property? The
Hidden Fortune’s Heir It’s a pleasure to hear you are ready to play the game
On the outskirts of the city, Caroline woke up shoved beside a massive trash can while rotten food and booze poured on her. People passing, saw her as a drunk who was misled and ended up sleeping there instead of going home. No one tries to offer her care or find out why she was there. Rather, if they had the chance, they might even toss her into the trash can, so she could just be there.Waking up, Caroline found herself in a mystery. The surroundings didn't look clear to her at first so she wiped her eyes to see properly.Just after wiping, she caught an awful smell which made her choke on her spit and was made to cough. That aside, she noticed she wasn’t wearing the Chanel dress but rather some shaggy clothes.The cloth was torn in most parts and was short, exposing her thighs. Caroline felt bitter as she realized she must have exposed everything to the public eye.Then again, she remembered what happened last night. How she and Harrison were knocked out. Quickly, she looked aroun
Hidden Fortune’s Heir He beat you to convince us?
“I never thought things would turn out to be like this. Those fools walked out on us!” Stephen kept grumbling as he paced around the room painting hard after he was being put on the run by Whitney’s men.He didn’t try to explain what happened, as what was bothering the whole family was more. Grandmother had shut herself in a room and chased them away.Now they were left with figuring out what to do or grandmother promised to punish them. Rachel, who was the cause of it, was lost and bothered among all of them since the fault was centered on her.She sat down just beside Linda thinking thoroughly about what to do when suddenly the door came open and the person who they never expected showed up.“Caroline?” All of them gasped, standing up on their feet like they had seen their worst nightmare.Caroline, who walked in, was in tears. She didn’t even bother about what they were thinking or what they would do to her. After all, she was the one who was shunned so even if they wouldn't apolog
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Escaping trouble
Having no choice but to leave, Caroline walked on the street thinking of where to go next. If her family wouldn’t offer her money to get Harrison back, then who would?Who would be able to offer her a whopping sum of a hundred million dollars? That money was way too much and the period given to her was very short.How could she raise that amount of money in less than twenty-four hours?Just then, she thought about Ramon. Since he offered them help that day, maybe he could lend her some money. But now the real problem would be how to contact him. Getting to see him was impossible, and contacting him was even worse.Still trying to conclude, she figured the only way to see or get a clue about where he could be was to go to Sterling Corporation.Quickly, she boarded a taxi and drove off to the company.——Caroline alighted the cab and walked into the company hurriedly. Her hair was such a mess giving out a bad impression of her, yet she wasn't concerned about that.When she was seen runn
Hidden Fortune’s Heir Can I get a loan?
The car pulled over and Whitman went into the company with Caroline. Everyone was shocked to see the mad woman who they sent away walking back into the company with not just anyone but Whitman.They didn’t fail to see how Whitman was cowering in fear, signifying that the woman was someone significant. The guards and the receptionist especially knew their jobs would be put on the line for what they had done.“Ooh, I know this woman,” the receptionist said, shivering. Just now she remembered that Caroline was the same woman who came in weeks to apply for a contract. That same woman was welcomed by Ramon himself with full hands.Ramon even went to extra lengths to warn her that in any circumstance, if Caroline came to the company, she should be let in, but then the receptionist did the opposite. She even worsened everything by asking the guards to send her out.“What do you mean you know her?” The guards were overwhelmed at first and after hearing what she said felt like a giant boulder

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
