Revenge of the Abandoned Heir An Engagement Dinner
“Are you ready?” Stephen said as he held his fiance’s hand. He knew that the last time she had to face her entire family was on the day they were supposed to announce their engagement. “I should be asking you that.” Vanessa chuckled. “I know my family didn’t treat you well last time, and to be honest, you deserve an apology.” “Vanessa, you are the only who’s acceptance matters to me.” Stephen said as she smiled lovingly at her. “Plus, I’m sure that when my real identity comes to the surface, your family will be begging for my forgiveness.”Vanessa laughed and shook her head, of course Stephen was right.If there was anything that mattered to the Ty family, it was their image and their connections. They couldn’t have imagined offending the heir to the Cho family because they thought he was poor.“Let’s go in and get out as soon as we can.” Vanessa said with a smile as she slid out of Stephen’s car. A bodyguard quickly came up to Stephen’s side and took the car keys from him.Eldric
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Stepping Up
“Stephen, I can handle this.” Vanessa whispered to him as she held him back.Vanessa was a smart and sensible woman, she knew that this wasn’t the time for Stephen to let anything slip, even if it was to defend her. “Vanessa, this is just too much.” Stephen hissed as he held back.“I will be the young madam of the Cho family, don’t you think I should learn to fight my own battles?” Vanessa asked as she glared at her fiance.Stephen sighed in surrender as he glared at his future mother-in-law.If she and the other members of the Ty family were not related to Vanessa he would not have spared them. Even without the Cho family’s backing Stephen could make the Ty family suffer if he wanted. Nothing was too much to protect Vanessa. He hated seeing her hurt like this.“Tell me, mom, would you rather I marry someone who comes from a rich family but can do nothing but leech of his rich relatives?” Vanessa asked.“Of course-” Vanessa held a hand up, stopping her mom from speaking.“Or a man
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir A Martyr for Family
“I’m sorry about my family.” Vanessa said with a frown as she and Stephen walked out of the restaurant. Stephen looked at her and frowned, he didn’t understand why she kept feeling the need to take responsibility for her family’s actions. “Vanessa, are you a martyr?” Stephen asked his fiance.“A martyr? What? Of course not!” Vanessa exclaimed. “I could never be someone so, so, so selfless.”Stephen laughed and shook his head. He couldn’t believe how unaware his fiance was of how much she had already sacrificed because of family.“Vanessa, they aren’t your responsibility, you don’t owe them anything.” Stephen said as he pulled Vanessa aside. “I’m not.” Vanessa was frowning as Stephen told her the painful truth. “One day they will cross someone who is not as forgiving as I am.” Stephen warned her. “What will you do when that day comes?” “It won’t happen, my family would never offend someone better than them. Have you not seen how they grovel in front of your half brother?” Vanessa
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Vanessa's Thoughts on Stephen's Death
“Did they leave ahead?” Stephen asked as he returned to find Vanessa waiting all alone for him. He had expected his uncle to insist on sending them home.He knew William Cho was starting to get desperate in finding out where Stephen lived.“Yeah, William got called home. Something about his brother being furious.” Vanessa chuckled as they walked out of the restaurant hand in hand. “Vanessa, I’m going to grab some drinks with Robert and Edward, if that’s fine with you.” Stephen told her. “I already asked Amalia to come over to the house to keep you company. I have to discuss work with the boys.”Vanessa shook her head and smiled at Stephen. “Amalia doesn’t need to come over. The house is safe enough, we have a few maids now and a cook. I’ll be fine alone.” Vanessa told him as he nodded in response.Around them, Stephen’s bodyguards walked silently as they observed their surroundings. They were particularly on the lookout for Willaim’s men that he could have left behind to stalk Steph
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir The Mafia and The Boys
“Sir?” John asked as he knocked from the other side of the door.“Come in John.” Stephen called out as his right hand man entered the room.“Edward, Robert, this is John.” Stephen introduced as John bowed in front of the two men. “In the Essen Mafia, he is my right hand man.”“So that’s the mafia you were leading. You owe me ten thousand Edward!” Robert laughed as Edward took out his phone and sent the money digitally to his friend.As Robert reveled in his victory, Edward noticed the nervous glances he was getting from John. It was clear that he was worried about Edward Hao’s family.The Haos were a powerful and old political family, families like theirs viewed the mafia and gangs as the dark side of the world.“John Reid.” Edward suddenly said, making John look up, his fear visible in his eyes. “That’s your real name right? John Malcolm Reid, thirty five years old, you came to the country a month before Stephen did.”“You knew?” Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Ed
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir From the Past
“Where do I start?” Stephen asked.“That morning, who did you speak to?” Robert questioned his friend as they were careful to go through every detail.“The first person I spoke to was Amalia, she was up early and crying as if I had died.” Stepehn laughed and shook his head. Little did they all know that that night, Amalia’s fears would become a reality.“Did what she told you change your mind?” Edward asked his friend as he refilled his glass of liquor. “No.” Stephen confidently answered. “I smiled and laughed and told her that I would be back in a few months when we had a break from school. We then went down to breakfast with grandpa, uncle, and my mom.” “Why was your uncle there?” Robert asked as he looked Stephen in the eyes. “If I recall correctly, your Uncle William rarely had meals with the family.”“It was my sending off meal.” Stephen told his friends. “Everyone was required to be there, but my Uncle William didn’t want his wife around, he was telling us how she might be pre
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Michael's Future
“Stephen, the Ty family?” Robert asked as they headed down to leave. “What about them?” Stephen asked, stopping in his tracks. “They don’t deserve to be associated with you or Vanessa.” Robert declared in an angry tone. “Even Vanessa deserves better. You are all their victims.”“What are you trying to suggest, Robert?” Stephen asked as he looked at his friend.“He wants your permission to drag their name through the mud.” Edward answered. “Of course, Robert is acting impulsively again.”“If I were acting impulsively, I wouldn’t have asked Stephen and just acted. I know Stephen would probably have a plan for them.” Robert answered, rolling his eyes at his friend.“The Ty family are fortunate that Vanessa is their child.” Stephen said in a cold tone. “But that doesn’t mean they will get through this unscratched. I will give them time, for now, to see their mistakes. If they refuse to change, then I will make a move against them.”Robert and Edward both nodded in understanding.No matt
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Michael's Loyalty
Michael glanced between Stephen and Andrew as a deafening silence enveloped the room. When the two men had entered, Stephen didn’t say a word. He just sat down, crossed his arms and glared at Michael.Following Stephen’s lead, Andrew did the same. “Why didn’t you tell us?” Andrew said as his expression went soft. He hadn’t spoken this way to Michael since he arrived. Andrew had thought the worst of Michael, even when he was pleading, explaining what had happened. To Andrew one of the gravest crimes now was to betray Stephen.“I had to Andrew! You don’t know what it was like!” Michael cried out, sobbing. “But I regretted it in the end, that’s why I’m here. I’d rather get fired than suffer my conscience!”Andrew stood up and slammed his palm on the table.“What do you mean I don’t know what it’s like?!” He asked angrily as he stood up.Stephen remained calm as Andrew grabbed Michael by the collar, dragging the younger man forward.“Michael, do you forget who’s son I am? My mother is

“The Lu family is working with the underworld?” Hans asked as he glanced at his cousin in disbelief. Over the years the Underworld was one part of Marina City that both families had failed to control. If the Lu family managed to pull into their fold the leaders of the Underworld and Stephen was not the head of the Essen Mafia, they would have easily crushed the Cho family.“They don’t, sir. At least not yet.” John clarified as he spoke to the cousins over the phone.“What do you mean?” Hans asked.“No one person can rule over the underworld of Marina City, let alone this country.” John told Hans. “The city and this country is too diverse for any one person to take control. There is also the matter of people like the Lu and Cho families that make taking control even more difficult.”“Isn’t the Essen Mafia powerful enough to get them to follow?” Hans asked as he looked at his cousin.“Not as just the Essen Mafia.” Stephen said with a smile on his lips. “Huh?” Hans was now even more

New Threats
When Stephen declared the changes when it came to who would inherit the Cho family fortune in the future, Ina was no longer able to keep the reporters in line.Stephen decided to end the press conference there and move on.He, Vanessa, and Hans all left the stage and returned to Stephen’s office at the top floor. They were greeted by Paolo’s laughter as they entered the room, he was playing with Amalia and Robert. “Shouldn’t you be putting out the fire I just started downstairs?” Stephen asked as he gave Robert an amused look.His friend was never big on children.As a matter of fact, Robert was probably the one that was most against having children in their friend group. So it was quite the surprise for Stephen to see Robert happily playing with a child.“They don’t need me to put out that fire.” Robert chuckled as his phone began to ring next to him.“Shi-” Robert began to curse.“Language!” Both Hans and Stephen shouted, making Robert jump in surprise. “You two are going to scar

Next Heirs
Paolo Cho was a handsome child, it was something that the reporters couldn’t deny. He had received amazing genes from the Fredrikson, Ong, and Cho families, making him probably one of the best looking children around.But when Paolo Cho smiled he won the hearts of everyone in the crowd, even those that wanted to speak badly of the Cho and Fredrikson families.They might have been bribed by the Ong families and their allies, but there was no denying that Pablo Cho was happy.Pablo waved at the crowd and smiled. He then hugged his father as he shied away from the crowd again.People couldn’t blame the little boy, he had lived his entire life in hiding and now, all of a sudden he was in front of hundreds of people. Every single one of the reporters wanted to snap a photo of him or his father. It was obvious that Paolo was already getting uncomfortable with the situation.“I’ll bring him in.” Amalia volunteered as she took Paolo from Hans, allowing him to stand straight and glare at the

Press Conference 2
“Ah, I see you’ve noticed it.” Stephen said as he saw the confused expression on some of the reporters' faces.Not everyone had seen a DNA test in the past. Normally when businessmen and actors were trying to prove they were not the father of a child, the match would be much lower compared to what was flashed on the screen.“Allow me to explain for those who are seeing a DNA test for the first time.” Stephen said with a smile. “The report you are seeing behind me says that I am somehow related to Gabrielle Ong’s child. Now for those that are familiar with the genealogy of the Ong and Cho families, we are not in any way related.”The members of the media nodded as they slowly absorbed the information that Stpehen was telling them.Most were genuinely surprised at how kind Stephen sounded and at how willing he was to explain the situation to them.Normally, leaders in the same position as Stephen had little to no patience to explain trivial thing such as these, but Stephen took his tim

Press Conference Part 1
The parking lot of Philip Tower was filled with people chatting among themselves.It was no mystery what the Cho family was about to announce, they all knew that the biggest issue of that time was if Stephen Cho did or didn’t have an illegitimate child.Many people claimed that it was just a ploy of the Ong family to get their members out of jail.Others said that there was truth to it, especially since Gabrielle Ong was Stephen’s ex girlfriend.No matter what rumor people believed they all still wanted to be there. They all wanted to hear the truth and they all wanted to report it first. Inside the lobby of Philip Tower, Stephen looked out at the crowd that had formed.He had never expected that these many people would be interested in their personal lives. He thought that mostly gossip columnists would appear, but it seemed that every kind of reporter stood in their office’s parking lot.“You can’t seriously be surprised.” Hans said as he stood next to his cousin.“I just didn’t th

“We need to make a press release, the media will not leave us alone if we don’t.” Amalia told her brother as they sat around the meeting table in his office.Among those Stephen had invited were people he believed were crucial when it came to the matter of Paolo Cho’s identity.“Have you gotten the Ong family under control?” Stephen asked as he looked to his cousin.He knew that only a few days had passed and that Hans had his hands full watching over Paolo, but they needed to make sure that the Ong family wouldn’t cause them problems.“Almost, there are still some who are trying to question my ability.” Hans said with a malicious grin. “My people are making sure they understand who I am today.”Stephen nodded, impressed by Hans’ efficiency with dealing with the matter of the Ong family.“So we can schedule a press release today, the news agencies will publish it tomorrow and everything will be settled.” Amalia said as she thought of the timeline in her head.“No, we won’t just releas

Miguel Villanueva's Departure
Miguel and Manuel might come from a weaker family than the Cho’s but they had begun as Stephen’s friends, so Stephen decided to accompany Miguel to the airport the next day.He had offered for Miguel to use his private jet and the younger Villanueva brother happily accepted the offer.Stephen and Manuel stood on the tarmac with Miguel as they said their final goodbyes.“I’m guessing I won’t see you for a while, boss.” Miguel teased him.Technically now it was true that Stephen was their boss. With the trade to protect their family name, they were more like his henchmen doing his bidding rather than his partners through a treaty.“Most likely.” Stephen said with a nod.His wife was pregnant and he had no intentions of leaving her alone for too long. “I just wanted to say, thank you.” Miguel told Stephen. “You helped us back then and you helped us again now. Jacob would have ruined our family if news got out about his cases.”Stephen nodded, then he realized something, he forgot to as

The Villanueva Name
Stephen had been exhausted by the night before.Paolo had woken up in the middle of the night and cried out for both Hans and Stephen. Stephen had been sleeping with the little boy at the time, but he refused to calm down unless his Daddy Hans was there.It seemed Paolo had settled on what to call them.Hans was Daddy, and Stephen was Papa. In the same way, he called Vanessa his Mama. When Stephen had asked a maid to call for Hans, his cousin seemed like he was about to burst into tears because his son had called for him.“Boss?” Andrew called, waving his hand in front of Stephen. “Sorry, Paolo had a hard time sleeping after yesterday’s incident. What were you saying Andrew?”Stephen asked as he tried to focus on the discussion at hand.“The bidding for the latest piece of land that that government has put up for sale starts in a week. The procurement director wanted to ask if you wished to purchase it.” Andrew informed Stpehen as he handed him the details of the piece of property.
