I Became A Trillionaire After Marrying A Lady Boss CHAPTER FIFTY NINE
Jovian with a disjointed face watched Reynold as the car turned and curled through several alleys. The street was dark and deserted, yes it was indeed a night. A night darker than any else, but the shadows that lurked on suspicious corners of this street was ominous, if not eerie.How come a well-behaved, sane, gentle man was aware of a place like this. The way Reynold handled the car's steering and was focused on the thick darkness in front of them informed Jovian that he wasn't just an amateur at this.Perhaps, he was mistaken the whole while. Both earlier on the highway and now, Reynold had made Jovian surprised in ways that he did not expect.‘Damn it… this guy…’ he didn't even expect Reynold to ever suggest kidnapping the son of a conglomerate. He could vividly remember the coldness in Rey's eyes as he suggested the act.‘Wait… even right from when we broke into the office… should it be something that his kind of person suggested easily?’Jovian was baffled… afflicted and confuse

They were met by an inky darkness. Jovian's eyes was assaulted by a slight throbbing pain in the first few seconds of trying to adjust to this unseeming environment.Reynold however… He threw the body to the ground and walked away uncaringly. Like he could navigate the darkness with his eyes closed. A second later flames were birthed from the edge of a stick. He threw the stick into a barrel and in less than three seconds, the flames had spread and was burning fiercely inside the barrel.Thanks to that a soft glow of illumination bathed the place, causing the thick darkness to retreat away to the far corners of the building.Jovian looked around with a slight frown on his face. The place reeked of metal, the smell was almost choking… but maybe that was because of the dust. Also he could see tools here and there with the unstable illumination that was being casted forth by the fire in the barrel.There was a large fork, shovel, machetes of different kinds. He frowned and looked at Rey

“Please… I beg you… this makes no sense.”Reynold narrowed his eyes. “What position do you consider yourself to be in Jovian?”Jovian's face became terrifice with a scowl at Reynold. He stared for a few seconds and retreated.“Yes that's what I thought.” Reynold uttered and reached Tate's front.Seeing, fuming rod in Reynold's hand, Tate laughed awkwardly and looked up, his brows twitching.“Wh…wha…what are you do… do…doing bro? What is this?”“This is a determinant of how many marks you will leave this place with. Or if you will ever leave at all.”Tate face narrowed then frowned.“Are you crazy…?”Reynold lost it… “Ah fuck it” He swung the rod in reckless abandon. But before it could land on Tate’s midsection, it stopped midair. The hands that had managed to stop it was being fried intensely.Reynold scowled at Jovian.“Are you mad? What do you think you are doing?!”Gritting his teeth Jovian responded, “I can't allow you to do this. I know there will be repercussions and if all inv

“What are you talking about?”Jovian strained his expression a bit as he looked at Reynold. His hand was clenched and it was so obvious that he was trying to hold in so many emotions, despite all that effort… they still sort of spilled off on his face.“You know that the Johns family cultivate a unique culture of matching their kids from the age of five.”Reynold's eyes narrowed, “I'm not really sure but Kayla mentioned that Lei had been with her for a long time. What are you talking about?”Jovian sighed and started:“From infancy, kids are collected from their mothers, of course always at a favorable condition. The company does not participate in anything illegal, all they do it build an orphanage and accept infants that can't be taken care of by their parent or those that lose their parents during the process of childbirth.” He paused and continued, looking at Reynold carefully.“When these infants reach the age of five years old. The Johns children are brought to the orphanage to l

Reynold sank into his bed, very tired after the long night. His faces told the tales of too many emotions. He seemed sorrowful and pleased at the same time. A lot of thoughts ran back and forth his mind and fear gripped his heart.It was not the fear of just anything or anyone… fact is he didn't even care, he wasn't scared about anybody. He was sure that he would be able to protect what was his when it came down to it. This was after all the reason why he had given himself to so much training and decided to change at all cost.But what scared him was losing himself to his demons in the midst of protecting the lady he loves. This family was a very disastrous one, a kind of family that sanity cannot exist in–it was not news that every kid from the family had their insanity to deal with… even down to his wife he had to admit.And if one wanted to deal with such a monstrous family, they needed to be more insane than any of the family members are. That very notion was a definition of Reynol

The morning was up earlier than usual… or maybe he was just very tired from the long night he had with Tate and then with Kayla—who had gone out of his bed hours before he finally woke up. She did a little morning jog and was just arriving when he stepped out of the room.Reynold grinned with a sleepy face.“You look way too sexy for me to pass.”“Uh uh. Don't even think about it. I still feel drenched in whatever you put in me yesterday, if you come onto me like that I don't know if I'll eventually be able to make it to work.”Reynold leaned on the head of the triple-seat sofa and looked at Kayla with a seductive smile.“What?” She responded with a stern face.“It's not a bad idea to not go to work today. We can have all the days to ourselves.”“I see… that's a nice one, very tempting actually but no. I don't have the luxury of time to do that… besides, I've left my company unattended for about three days now. I'm sure Lei will he overwhelmed by work and I still need to find the culp
I Became A Trillionaire After Marrying A Lady Boss CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE
It'd been over a week since Reynold kidnapped and dealt with Tate, however, he was very shocked to not have seen any retaliation. He was sure that Sean would know of what happened and when he did, the hotblooded scion would target him as soon as he could.There were two possibilities to the reason why both of them had been silent. Either Tate had told Sean of how he divulged all the information after being kidnapped and tortured which will warrant that Sean act with carefulness or Tate told nothing to Sean at all about the kidnap because he was scared of revealing the fact that he ended up spilling all the information.Which ever one it was, Reynold didn't really care. Their silence only gave him ample time to prepare and execute his plan. Just like they had done to his wife, he was going to return the favor.A part of doing that was what he was going to see through today. Eyes fell on him as he took a majestic stride through the scattered arrays of table and chairs.The restaurant wa

“Are you seriously not gonna talk to me?”“Talk about what?”“What happened to you?”Tate sighed, his face was plastered here and there but compared to last week it was presentable. Because of it, Sean had been the one going forward for him and meeting with the representatives of the Zhang Corporations.He persistently disturbed his brother to tell him who did this to him but Tate kept his peace and did not say anything apart from being in a skirmish with some neighbor while he was drunk.Sean had told him right that instance. “You can try so much, Tate. But you can't hide it from me, I know something happened that night and I will find out whether you like it or not.”“Yea sure… I've heard you. Can we proceed now?”“Tsk.” Sean clicked his tongue and walked rudely out of his brother's office.Sean strode out to his sleek black sports car, irritation still simmering from his brother's evasiveness. His aide jumped to open the door and Sean slid inside, jacket riding up against the cream

CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY FOUR
One life ends. Another begins. Such was the world.That was what Rey was thinking as he fondled his ten-month-old baby girl distractedly. He still felt empathy toward Hamish, even though it irritated him. Hamish was his brother-in-law. He shouldn't try to kill him. Nobody's brother-in-law should try to kill him. But unfortunately, that was life. Things happened even when they were absurd, even when they where undesirable.They had charged Hamish and his aide, Sparks, with manslaughter, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder. Whenever Reynolds thought about it, he shook his head. It was bad. If either of the two men received a light sentence, it would be life. That was what Hamish got for throwing his life away. On the other hand, the world had not skipped a beat. The three of them had recovered fully (at least physically) himself, Kayla, and the Chairman. The Chairman was no longer a 'Chairman,' corporately, legally, and technically. To Reynolds he was now only a father in-
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY THREE
Sparks was looking for that one lucky strike.He had tailed Hamish, parked far from sight, approached the building on foot, scaled the fence and come in unnoticed. All according to plan. He knew Hamish was with Reynolds already, and they had been speaking for a few minutes. Hopefully, the stage was well set for his arrival.He went round the building, loathing that he had to use the stairs instead of the elevator. His job always sucked and he hated it.The building was generally deserted as planned. Yes... perfect. At the bottom of the stairs he paused, said a lucky prayer, then set the timer on his watch. Ten minutes for everything... Godspeed.****Hamish and the Chairman stared at each other in bewilderment for seconds."I heard you son. Everything you said," his father told him. For a moment Hamish's mind was blank as he stood transfixed, still holding Reynolds at gun point. Slowly he collected himself, becoming even angrier."I'm not upset at you. Only disappointed. But I don't
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY TWO
If there could be any reason to spare Sparks life and dispose of him, it was the fact that he had an instinct. He hadn't been a henchman these years for nothing. He knew a trap when he saw one. So, when he phoned the doctor requesting to have the package ready by noon, he became aware that he was not speaking to him.Well, technically, he was. But situationally, he wasn't. The doctor was damaged goods now. He sensed that the guy was bugged.How it happened, he had no idea. But it happened real fast.He phoned Hamish and told him. They'd have to take care of the guy, but not too soon, so they don't throw off a scent. It was a tricky situation for the tricky-minded. The better move now, Hamish told him, was to go directly for Reynolds.There were reasons for this. Beforehand, he had noticed that Kayla had vanished from the hospital ward where she was being treated. Of course, he didn't ask questions or raise suspicions (since the hospital staff couldn't link him to Kayla). But Hamish
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY ONE
There was one more person to put away when the scheme was done with. That doctor.As much as Hamish hated to deal with it, another clumsy character on the scene meant another loose end. He was going to go all out till he got his package... and till it worked. They he'd pay the man in full before making him disappear.Of course basic logic would question his choice of paying first. He just thought it necessary to stick to one's part of a deal no matter what. So he'd pay the man's family for his service, then kill him. He knew he'd needed a new aide for that job, since Sparks would have to go, too. Either in the process or after the process.In fact, he had started to feel a sense of urgency to do away with Sparks before something spilled. The man was already becoming disgruntled. He was already becoming too important. Nobody became too important with Hamish.But first Sparks needed to get the dirty work done, before he eliminated and dissociated him.****When Benny launched himself
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FIFTY
Doctor Benny liked the concept of a bright future. He had always liked it and other terms like it. Future. Success. Opportunity. Yes, that one. Opportunity. There wasn't very much of it for him in his profession. He wasn't poor or anything—of course he had stuff to be grateful for. But he sensed it could be more. So he tried to get more.Wen he had got the call from Hamish's aide to get a lethal solution ready, he, as any rational person, did not like it. But what choice did he have? His wife was a compulsive shopper and his children sometimes forgot he wasn't a billionaire. So he asked himself what he had to lose and the answer was not much. He didn't know if he had a strong or weak conscience. He only knew he could use the money they were offering. He took the offer. He had hoped it would be a one-off thing. Prepare the solution, have it delivered, get his money, forget any of it ever happened. Now it was staring him on the face. That was the problem with crime. It made for str
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FORTY NINE
Impatiently, the Chairman waited for Rey to arrive. More than clarity, he needed to prove to his son-in-law—and himself—that he was mistaken. If they hadn't been from Rey, he would have paid the messages no heed. He found it rather confusing under the given circumstances. He waited in his topfloor office in the conglomerate that morning, when he should have been busy with other concerns. Reynolds needed to explain. It was not that the strings had no connection whatsoever. No, the Chairman wasn't imprudent. It was the way they connected. And the who they connected to. Those were the things he could not accept. At least, not without hard, infallible proof.His desk phone beeped and he picked it up. It was Rezei, asking if he wanted to see Reynolds."Yes, let him come," he said. Then he glanced sharply at the central air conditioner, feeling like the temperature in the room had fallen by a hinedered degrees Celsius in one second. The door opened almost immediately to reveal Reynolds
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FORTY EIGHT
Hamish was painstaking meticulous at planning. He knew when things could go slow, when they could go fast, and when they needed to go fast. Killing Rey was a fast game. It had to be if it would be played, as it was also a cagey game. Not that he was not a cagey man, or that he doubted his own genius. His master-mind. Rather, because he knew that perfection was not cheap, and if you were going to kill your next-door neighbour without taking a dent, you required perfection.He had two usable routes. One was direct: strike Rey. This required precision and care, seeing as the man had become his father's favourite. The other was a bit more accommodating: Strike Rey through Kayla. That is, strike Kayla, and when it impacted and exposed Reynolds, he’d then put the man to rest permanently.Being the genius that he was, Hamish kept both routes open. It would be like a double barrel, a kill-both-birds-with-one-stone formula. He was almost enjoying the prospect. All his track would be clean.
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FORTY SEVEN
The police never got around to finding Riker. He was ghost, they said. Came and went as he pleased. In truth, he was aboard the next flight out of the country after the Johns foiled his coup. With his absence came peace. The Chairman gave Reynolds a position in the company to work alongside Hamish. Kayla's baby continued to grow, her belly ballooned, pushing against her buttons. For the couple and the Johns, the world seemed a kindlier place.All except Hamish.He was angered by the turn of events, especially with Reynolds' new position as his managerial superior. Bloody Reynolds? His Superior! They had no inkling what he was capable of. Maybe he would have to show them. By himself this time. He would restore his honor by taking out all his enemies and their accomplices, in any form they manifested. Including those who directly limited him, and those who did so indirectly, by being dumb and sluggish, by playing with his goals.The first, perfect victim would be Grant.Luckily, a d
CHAPTER HUNDRED & FORTY SIX
The tracker vanished all of a sudden and Jovian's head jerked with a start. He had been watching his wearable monitor almost boredly up till it happened. “What the--?" He spat."What?" asked Ceneau who had also been observant."Do we move?" one of the aides asked. Jovian nodded. He dd not want to say that the tracker had been lost. They'd just drive to where it was last seen.Everybody prepared hastily. Even Ceneau fiddled with a rifle he probably couldn't use. They piled in and hit the gas, hard.****The first thing Reizei did was strike the overhead sensor. He guessed that damaging it could shut the mantap on one end (for both doors) and lock half the guards out momentarily. And it worked. The only people to cross were the three of them, Riker, and about half the escort party.Once Reynolds grabbed the nearest guard's gun, he had acted, ramming his fist into the circular sensor above his head. There were screams, including his.The Chairman scrambled. The guard behind Reizei gra
