RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 61
Adrian’s suspicions were confirmed as he saw the man’s face. It was the same arrogant guy who had slammed into his moped that morning. Landon Welsh’s expression was filled with disdain as he advanced towards Adrian and recognition flickered in his eyes when their gaze met. “I remember you.” He sneered. “You’re the loser who almost made me scratch my expensive car. I see you haven’t bothered to change your smelly clothes. Are you that poor?”“Incase you’ve forgotten,” Adrian countered, his voice firm, despite the cold anger brewing in his gut. “you’re the one who suddenly swerved into my lane and hit my moped.”“Who cares?” Landon scoffed. “No one’s going to believe the word of a nobody like you over mine. Now, be a good little loser and take that scrap…” he gestured towards Adrian’s moped dismissively. “…away from here. Before I run it over or better still, tell my security guard to trash it.”“It would be in your best interest to leave my moped alone.” Adrian warned in a low voice.
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 62
Harold Welsh rushed towards the main entrance of the Glorious Garden with a speed he didn’t know he possessed. His eyes were frantic as sweat dripped from all over his body. How would he begin to apologize to Adrian? He desperately hoped that the security guard’s stupid mistake wouldn’t cost him his job as manager.The security guard on the other hand, trembled severely, his face a shade of green as he stumbled out of the guardhouse. Landon angrily stormed towards him and slapped him across the face. “Why did you abandon the orders I gave to you?”he snarled. “What were you doing in there for so long?”The security guard’s eyes were wide with panic and shock as his gaze drifted to Adrian. The only thing he could do was to point a shaky finger towards him. “He’s…he’s…”But, he wasn’t able to finish his sentence as Harold burst out of the gates and towards them. “You stupid fool!” He barked as he lunged at the security guard, his palms connecting with the same cheek Landon had just slapp

As Adrian stepped inside the gates of Glorious Garden estate, the first thing that greeted him was the sight of a long, narrow drive away lined with olive trees and palm trees of different sizes. Harold ushered him into the back seat of his Ford Mustang which was parked to the side, while he shoved Landon into the front passenger seat. Harold then wasted no time in getting into the car and driving down the estate. Adrian silently looked out the window as he observed what would soon be his residence. The landmark of the estate was vast with several villas lined up on either side of the driveway, each sporting their own fountains. Some villas were modern and futuristic, some vintage and elegant, and others a seamless combination of both. Adrian was deeply amazed by the fact that this magnificent property was now his. After a few minutes, Harold pulled into the driveway of a modern villa situated on the right hand side. He quickly got out and opened the door for Adrian. “We’ve reached

Lilian’s eyes lit up as she snapped her fingers continuously. “You’re probably right, Natty. I mean despite the fact that her husband is a poor nobody, I would admit that he is easy on the eyes. That’s probably how he was able to convince the manager to succumb to their demands.The urge to defend Adrian rose in Anita’s mind and she pointed a warning finger at Lilian and Natalie. “Don’t you dare defame my husband’s character like that!” she snapped. “Nothing of that sort happened, and him being at Crestwood Investment was just a mere coincidence.” Anita said those last words, even though a sliver of doubt gnawed in her mind. Adrian going to Crestwood Investment on the same morning she had gotten the contract couldn’t be a mere coincidence, could it?”“Whatever,” Natalie rolled her eyes. “The truth is a bitter pill to swallow anyways. You can pretend all you want but I see through your innocent act enough to know it’s all fake.”“This isn’t over, Anita.” Lilian chimed in. “Like I said

“The car’s yours if you want it.” Adrian repeated with a shrug. “I can get another one at a nice deal from my friend. Besides, you need it more than I do.” Anita’s expression softened as she stared warmly at Adrian. He was truly full of surprises. She wasn’t aware of what she had expected when she got married to him, but all she knew right now was that she couldn’t have asked for a better person to be her husband. She took his free hand in hers. “Thank you, Adrian. This means so much to me.” A sheepish smile crept onto Adrian’s face at the contact. “You don’t have to thank me. You’re my wife and my responsibility. So, I’ll always place your priorities first.” Anita let go of Adrian’s hand as her cheeks became tinged with a red color which she tried hiding with her hair. Adrian took note of this and decided to tease her a little. “Is that a blush I see, dear wife?” “No, it’s not.” Anita countered playfully. “You need to get your eyesight checked because you’re seeing things. Let
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 66
Everyone was already seated in the living room when Anita and Adrian walked in. All eyes turned to them; some filled with disdain, some envy and others indifference. Grandma Esther, who was seated next to Grandpa Lloyd, in a simple designer gown, was the first to break the silence. “Oh look!” she announced in a high pitched voice. “Her majesty has finally arrived. Anita, don’t you know your grandfather hates any form of tardiness to family meetings? Why did you keep us waiting?” Anita cheeks flushed as she bit her lip in embarrassment and remorse. “I’m sorry for keeping you all waiting,” she mumbled as she approached her grandparents, her attention particularly focused on her grandfather who rested comfortably on the largest chair in the room. She addressed him directly with a curt bow. “I’m sorry for being late, Grandpa.” Lloyd’s expression was unreadable as his gaze landed on Anita, then Adrian and back on Anita. “Don’t stand so close to me,” he gestured for her to move backwards

Anita’s eyes watered as she covered her mouth with her palms to prevent herself from bursting into tears of joy. She simply glanced at Adrian who gave her a thumbs up and a wide grin before silently mouthing ‘congratulations.’ Her hands slid down from her mouth as she gave him a warm smile in return.“Grandfather—!” Evelyn and Natalie began to protest in unison but Grandpa Lloyd raised his hand to silence them.“I made a promise and one thing I will never do is go back on my promise.” He remarked in a firm tone. The two ladies huffed in frustration as their faces flushed in disappointment and Lilian, who didn’t take the news well, stood up abruptly. “This is not fair!” she exclaimed in exasperation before grabbing her bag, giving Anita a momentary glare and storming out. “Lily, wait!” Natalie called out to her friend as she equally got up from her seat and followed after her.Grandpa Lloyd ignored them as he prepared to speak again. “Now that this issue has been settled, there is some

Adrian clamped down on the accelerator as he sped down the track, the car moving as fast as he wanted. Nathan’s Aventador was ahead of him, but only by a few meters. And that was simply because he was yet to activate the turbo engine which he was saving till the last two laps of the race. As they circled the track for the first time, Adrian glanced at Nathan who was whispering something into the ears of the race track leader while pointing at his car with a triumphant smirk. He let out a smirk of his own as he turned his attention back on the track and continued with the race. They circled the track two more times, the tensions and anticipations rising with each lap. As soon as they got to the starting point of the second to the last lap, Adrian pressed a button that activated the turbo engine and the car which surged with newfound power, vibrated as the engine revved with a roar. Nathan, the racetrack leader, as well as other spectators where astonished at the accelerated speed whic

Adrian was lying shirtless and motionless on the operating table, his eyes were shut tightly, his skin extremely pale and clammy, and his lips had a slight blue tinge to them.His chest was still, and a tube connected to a ventilator was passed through his nose to help him breathe properly.The surgical team had also cleaned the blood that poured from his chest, but it was still bleeding, and it became a serious cause for concern.Doctor Arnold was momentarily frozen when he saw Adrian, and he had to blink severally to make sure he wasn’t imagining things. Never would he have expected that the patient he was treating was his boss, who had left the hospital completely fine just a few hours ago.His shock finally wore off and he sprang into action.For the next approximately five hours, Doctor Arnold and his team of surgeons performed an open heart surgery on Adrian to remove the bullet.Just as they were rounding up with the surgery, something happened.Adrian’s heart rate visibly inc
CHAPTER 254
Adrian’s eyes widened as it dawned on him that a bullet had struck him, and he stumbled backwards from the scorching pain that shot up his chest. He clutched his heart and felt the warm liquid seeping through his hands. When he looked down, he saw that the crimson color was quickly spreading throughout his chest and dripping down his hands at an even faster rate.He turned towards the direction the bullet came from to see if he’d spot anyone, but no one was there. The streets were empty and quiet, save for the noise from the bikers.Kai had seen Adrian turning, so he quickly turned around and pressed himself to the wall to properly blend with it. A cruel smirk appeared on his face as he replayed what he had done. He raised the gun to his line of sight and stared at it with a hint of fascination in his eyes.“Finally,” he whispered maliciously. “It’s done.”With that, he risked another peek at Adrian and saw that he was no longer looking towards his direction.He quickly tucked his
CHAPTER 253
Finally calling it a night, Adrian left the bar with Ashley walking beside him. He had decided to escort her to where her car was parked before going on his own way.The moment they were about to cross to the other side of the road, the loud roaring engines of motorcycles echoed in the air.They both looked to see a good number of motorcycles heading towards them, and in a split second they were surrounded.The hairs at the back of Ashley’s neck prickled her skin and she subconsciously held onto Adrian’s arm.“Adrian, what’s happening?” She whisper in hushed urgency as her eyes frantically darted around the motorcycles that circled them. “Do you know these people?”Adrian followed her line of sight as he too searched the faces of the men on the Harley Davidson motorcycles.His brows furrowed as he couldn’t recognize any of them. That was until the person who looked to be the leader stepped out and revealed the person cowering behind him.It was the man from earlier, the one who had ch
CHAPTER 252
A sliver of unease began to flicker within the man as Adrian said the words he had been dreading to hear.He lost the bet.The punishments.His eyes frantically darted around as though searching for someone to help him out of the situation, but no one seemed to be on his side.“If I could remember clearly,” Adrian continued, his lips tugging into a smirk as he saw the panic that began to appear on the man’s face. “You said the loser of the bet would have to grovel before the winner and lick the shoes of everyone here. So what are you waiting for? Begin already.”“Yeah,” the patrons echoed in unison and began chanting. “Do the bet! Do the bet!”The man internally shook his head. There was no way he’d lick the shoes of everyone at the bar. He had only agreed to the punishment because he thought it would be Adrian doing it.“I have to escape,”‘the man muttered internally. His eyes darted around again, this time searching for the exit. When he spotted it, his body barked into motion as
CHAPTER 251
Adrian grimaced as he perceived the foul stench that emanated from the man’s vomit. He instantly took off the shirt, and luckily, he was wearing an undershirt underneath which hadn’t been hit by the vomit. He used the clean sides of his shirt to wipe the bits of biking off his face and then threw it to the floor.At this time, the minor tipsiness in his eyes had already cleared off and he could think clearly again, so his movements weren’t slowed down.His gaze shifted to the man and he stifled a laugh as he saw the drama the man was displaying.First, he had taken off his clothes, and was sweating profusely while repeatedly murmuring, “Too hot,” under his breath.Secondly, he fell off his seat and was instead rolling on the floor as he writhed like someone in pain.Some people who found the scene incredibly funny pulled out their devices and began to record.While the other patrons were more empathetic, and filled with pity for the poor man.They turned their gazes to Adrian, expect
CHAPTER 250
Everyone watched with undivided attention as the man climbed down the chair and made his way to the bar.Once he reached the counter, he tapped it a few times to get the bartender’s attention. The bartender, who had been busy mixing a couple of drinks, looked up and raised a brow in inquisitiveness.“What can I get for you, sir?” He asked politely.“Ten shots of Devil Springs mixed with Everclear, please,” the man replied loud enough for everybody to hear.And gasps erupted from the patrons.Devilsprings was known to be one of the strongest alcoholic vodkas ever made, and wasn’t for the faint-hearted. It was already dangerous enough, but when mixed with Everclear, drinking it could be said to be almost suicidal.Ashley also gasped beside Adrian and looked at him, eyes wide in alarm. “Adrian, that man is completely out of his mind!” She whisper-yelled, and panic seeped through her voice. “Devilsprings is not something to be trifled with. I even know someone who had died from drinking
CHAPTER 249
The man’s eyes flashed with annoyance, but then he masked it with a challenging smirk. “You can’t tell me what I can or cannot do,” he scoffed as he gave Adrian a disdainful once over. “You’re just a loser.”Adrian shrugged as though the words merely bounced off his shoulders. “Call me whatever you want, but don’t dare bother my girlfriend again.”The man folded his bulky arms across his chest and the smirk on his lips widened aa he openly checked Ashley out, disregarding Adrian’s words.Ashley’s grip around Adrian’s arm tightened and she shifted on her feet as the man’s lustful stare sent bad shivers down her spine. “Pretty lady, I have a proposal for you,” the man spoke up again, after he was done gawking at Ashley shamelessly. He rubbed his lips while licking them as he continued.“Ditch this loser boyfriend of yours, and come to me. I’ll give you whatever you wabt and turn your life around.”Ashley rolled her eyes at the cockiness in the man’s tone, and her gaze met his squarely.
CHAPTER 248
Adrian sat a bit more upright on the sofa as he glanced up, his gaze steadily meeting Regina’s. “I’ve not done that yet. He’s fainted, so he’s been revived. I’ll take him to prison once that happens.”Regina huffed and crossed her arms. “Him being the culprit, doesn’t make you innocent,” she muttered bluntly.“You still had a role to play in what happened to Anita, because you aren’t rich enough to protect her. I still stand by my earlier statement. You don’t deserve to be near my daughter, so leave.”Adrian’s eyes flashed with fury and disbelief. He knew Regina had always been an unreasonable person, but this was just too much.“Are you serious right now?” He echoed in incredulity. “You’re still blaming me for Anita’s accident?”“Of course,” Regina shot back, her voice rising slightly. “If you weren’t so useless, then a brat like Nathan wouldn’t have been able to harm a single hair on her head. She’s better off without you, so just get out for crying out loud!”“No,” Adrian refused,

Blaze hesitated for a moment before his voice finally sounded through the receiver. “If that’s what you want, master,” he conceded. “I know there’s definitely an important reason why you made this decision, and I hope whatever it is gets sorted in time.”“Thank you for understanding, Blaze,” Adrian responded with a firm nod. “I’ll talk to you later.”With that he hung up the phone and leaned back against the back rest of the couch, and his mind swirled with thoughts for a moment before exhaustion overtook him and his eyes drooped close.Meanwhile, on another side of Wibston, Lawrence Smith was having a fit of rage as he reeled from the aftermath of his defeat to Adrian.Kai, on the other hand, stood a few meters away from Lawrence, while clutching his side. Despite the pain traveling up his body, he barely registered it due to the anger swirling inside him. His fight with Adrian replayed over and over in his head and he couldn’t still believe Adrian had won the fight. But even more
