Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 143. I'm game.
Coraline leaves after dinner to meet up with her parents rather than spend the night at my place, saying that she feels like it would be safer if she stayed with them for a few days. I feel so very bad when I see how tired she looks with this new problem piling on top of all the old ones. It’s bad enough we got a stalker on our tails, but land sharks too. Granted, it was technically not my problem, but as long as Coraline associated with me, I would be concerned about it one way or the other.Hell, even if Coraline decides tomorrow that she wants nothing to do with me, breaks our relationship, and resigns from her job, I’m still going to be invested. She was that important.Lemon, who had made himself scarce throughout the dinner, opted to let us have some ‘couple-y time’ rather than stay and be the third wheel. His words, not mine. He’d gone out by the looks of it, a soft-looking, dark-colored leather jacket draped over his shoulders and wearing a scruffy pair of dusty shoes. Althoug

“I’m just asking this to clarify some things, you do remember how you got a murderous psycho on your tail, right?” Lemon asks as we trudge down the road that leads to Coraline’s neighborhood, huddled in enough clothes to ward off the chill. “It’s such a moonless night tonight, and this area is pretty empty. Prime serial killer hunting ground if you ask me.”“You invited yourself over to this trip, remember?” I ask him, a bit amused, “I didn’t demand that you tag along.”“No, but you were implying that you would prefer to have my company than be alone, miserable, and cold in the night.” A flash of white through the darkness indicates that he had grinned at me.“I’m not implying anything, but if I were, to be honest, I am grateful to have a buddy while coming out here,” I admit, making the buddy in question bark out a quiet ‘hah!’ Quiet, because we’re not exactly supposed to be roaming this area.“I knew you loved me,” a smug reply comes, “that’s nice to know and all, but I couldn’t hel

“Are they freaking following us?!” Lemon screams, whipping his head to look over his shoulder as we raced down the road, trying to get away from the hooligans who are now in pursuit. If it was just them and just us, we don’t have to worry about running away, but they have the power of a car behind them, and that will not work in our favor.I am trying to keep a clear head and weave through the narrower roads away from the main road in hopes of getting away, all while cursing myself for coming up with this hir-brained scheme.“We need to take a hard left,” I inform Lemon, trying to catch my breath from the late-night workout, “the car is parked about two streets away, if we get there we can out-drive them!”“How do you know that? I can't tell anything because of the dark and these stupid, look-alike roads! Oh, but suburbs are a nightmare!”“Stop being so dramatic! And turn left now!”We turn left, nearly running into a trash cab due to the momentum and start to pound our feet to the as
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 146. Good Boyfriend.
Fortunately, Coraline does not realize that I’ve been in the neighborhood spying before, and because I intend to keep it that way, I make no mention of it. Even when Coraline grumbles about the vandals having bombed them with paintballs, I refrain from telling her that I already know about it. Coraline only wants to vent to me, she doesn’t even inquire if I had found any new information regarding her situation.So, I listen to her as a good boyfriend would, and ask her, “so are you going to report this to the police?”Coraline frowns, “We already did. I made mom and dad go to the police precinct for our division. But when they called me back, they said that the cops, while they did file the complaint, brushed it off as just kids being kids. Told them they should get security cameras.”That explains the remarks made by the vandals last night. The cops were in their pockets. It still surprised me how easy it was to bribe the angels of justice to do anyone’s dirty deeds or turn a blind e
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 147: Favor
Monday comes and I get a call to meet Eriksson for the business regarding the Falenridge case.“Your boys and girls are finally getting some momentum,” he notifies me as he scrolls through the news articles and social media posts about my friendly eco-conservationists on his laptop, “I’m impressed. Your social media person is doing a really good job, managing to get them going literally out of nothing.We sit in his office with a cup of sweet-smelling coffee in front of each one of us. It’s nearly noon, but I haven’t been able to get much sleep lately, so I feel really tired. Everything that was happening weighed on my mind, and I feel like I’m slowly becoming an insomniac. It had been three days since the incident with the vandals and I’d found myself going to spy around the Grangers’ brownstone last night, careful not to be seen by the brand-new security cameras they’d installed, and made sure not to have Lemon follow me. Not that he would, because after that first espionage trip, h
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 148. Evidences
Eriksson’s advice was for me to quit the creepy spying act and go confront the CEO of Astra Corporation.“You have to talk to the man and convince him to stop making a pass at the Grangers’ property,” he tells me, “Try to outwit him, and if that isn’t possible, make him a better offer.”“Oh, gee, you make it sound so easy!” I grumble, “what kind of an offer am I supposed to make him? That I’d compensate him with twice the worth of that property to keep him away from it?”“If you’re ready for that sure, but I’m actually talking about something less drastic,” Eriksson replied, “make him realize that you know about what he’s doing with the cops and his henchmen, then he might back off.”“That’s the thing though. According to his schematics for the new building, the granger property must be acquired. Like, it’s in the middle of the plan.”“Well, that doesn’t matter to you. What you need to do is somehow bullshit your way into making him think that you got the upper hand, and if he doesn’t
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 149. I hide
It’s a colder night than ever before, I notice the moment I step out of the estate that belongs to my father. I stick my hands in my pocket and keep myself from second-guessing this plan.Catching a late-night transport, I arrive at the neighborhood that is the victim to the scheming of the company Astra Development, and take my usual place away from the cameras, walking around as if I’m someone who belongs in one of the quaint houses.The headlights appear from the end of the road, and the hooligans come to disturb the neighborhood. This time, however, they don’t just bother the Granges. They pay attention to the house next to them as well.I watch with curiosity, as this is a new development. It seems like Astra Development is having problems with the Grangers’ neighbors as well. The hooligans desecrate their yard, and I take as many pictures as I could, hiding behind a group of trees right in front of them on the other side of the road. The hooligans hoot and holler, and before the
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 150. Today is my last day.
I try to keep my gaze on the entrance, trying to see if the guy stalking me would come in. Because I don’t want to make anyone in the shop suspicious of my own behavior, I pick up some knick-knacks from the shelves, a bottle of water, a bag of chips, and a small packet of gummies into a basket just to show that I’m not a shoplifter or anything.So far so good, I think as I circle the aisles again and see no clue of someone suspicious coming in. I feel the pressure in my chest ease, and the phone shows me I’ve been in the convenience store for like fifteen minutes. So, I make my way to the cashier and pay for everything I bought.Stepping out of the convenience store, I look around to see if there were suspicious figures hiding behind trash cans spying on me or something. When the survey comes up satisfactory i.e., devoid of any stalker-like figures, I let out the breath I was holding.Well, that was close. Serves me right for forgetting one of the most dangerous threats out there righ
