Rise Of The Billionaire Son Press Conference
“Ria is acting so weird.” Chris with his hands in his pocket stared at the glass words of the elevator. His expression was staring right back at him and he was so worried. Rico put a hand on his shoulder, patting it lightly.“Don’t worry.” Butler Rico assured. “As soon as you are done with the press conference, you can talk to her.” Chris nodded and the nervousness of speaking to the members of the press set in. He was a young man and they were definitely going to ask him silly questions and hard ones, in other to test his ability.And when the news hit the public, everyone was going to wonder if he was competent enough. Soon, they got closer to the conference room and the voice of the host flowed into their ears. “Now, let’s welcome the new CEO, Chris Westminster, who will take the West Conglomerate to the highest levels in the world.” Instantly, everyone burst into a round of applause and Chris was tempted to make a joke that they were already high enough and maintaining their l

“Dodge the bullet!” Butler Rico’s voice was blasting through the device in Chris’ ears. However, the gun was pointed right at Chris’ head, how would he be able to dodge in time? It was all too sudden for Chris and when he saw Deco put his finger on the trigger and the security men tried to rush forward to get the gun from him, Chris did what he could do at that moment. In the next second, he grabbed Deco’s hand and turned the gun away from his head. But then the trigger had already been pulled and there was a loud sound of gunshot in the air. Bang!!And then another….bang!!The whole hall went into an uproar and the reporters scrambled around in fear while some were bold enough to stay and cover the whole scene. Even the security men were in shock and they stood still as the scene before them unfolded.“How dare you…” Deco shouted, pointing straight at Chris. “How dare you dodge?!” He was so angry that Chris had dodged the bullet and now, Deco was left with turmoil and an impend
Rise Of The Billionaire Son I Will Finish Him Off
Ria looked down at her phone as she got off the call with the masked man. She was shocked to her bones that he would ask such from her but as she stood there, right in Chris’ office, she knew she was doomed. If she didn't find a way to complete the deal, she might not be able to leave in time. In that case, Chris and butler Rico were bound to discover her involvement with The Reds. “What do I do?” Ria whispered to herself, her heart beating rapidly. For a moment, she regretted what she did, she regretted helping the masked man to get to Chris. She had aided Mr. Deco, the reporter in getting into the press conference venue. If not for her help, they would never let him through, as the gun on his body would have been detected. While she paced in the office, the large smart TV in the office started to ring really and the words flowed smoothly into Ria’s ears. “THE NEW CEO OF THE WEST CONGLOMERATE WAS SHOT DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE HELD IN THE COMPANY.”“THE NEW CEO, CHRIS WESTMINS
Rise Of The Billionaire Son Axe’s Suspicion
Panic surged with Ria as her fists gripped the steering wheel and confusion set in. She contemplated dashing into the hospital building but unfortunately, the reporters blocked everywhere. More so, there were guards outside the hospital blocking the reporters. However, an idea suddenly popped into her head. She knew some of those guards and they would definitely let her in if she went there. In the next second, she hurried out of the car and squeezed herself in between the reporters. Even though she got hit by their cameras a few times, she persevered, moving forward. Finally, she got to the forefront and as the guards saw her, they recognized her immediately. “Miss Ria…” They called out. “Let me in...” Ria had no time to exchange pleasantries. The guards had no objection to letting her in because they knew she was close-knit with their boss. Also, they had not received a directive from Butler Rico to stop her. “Come in…” They quickly stepped aside to let her in. Ria was overjo
Rise Of The Billionaire Son I Pulled The Plug
Butler Rico got Axe’s message immediately and though he was confused as to why Axe would inform him of such a thing, he wasn't dumb not to know that Axe had definitely noticed something with Ria. But then he hoped in his heart that whatever it was wasn't associated with what happened to Chris. He knew how Chris cared for Ria and he might be devastated if Ria was involved. More so, butler Rico would never let a traitor like Ria go scot-free, and added to that, if the Westminster Master, Chris’ father got to know that something like that happened, it wouldn't end well.“Calm down…” Butler Rico whispered to himself. “You are thinking too far.” He quickly got rid of the suspicion in his heart but then it didn't mean he wouldn't keep an eye on Ria. “When is he going to come out?” Ria looked at the ER door, a bit worriedly which further dispelled the suspicion in Rico’s heart. “He got in a while ago. I don’t know when he will be out. Let’s just hope the surgery goes well.” Butler tried

Ten hours had passed and nothing had still been said yet about the CEO of West Conglomerate. The public and the reporters were in tension and the shares of the company kept plummeting with no one showing up to assure the stockholders. At this moment, the masked man was seated in a dark sitting room with the only ray of light shining from the gaps in the window. Ever since Ria was brought to his home, he didn't meet her. He wanted to wait a few more hours to see if anything would be said concerning Chris’ death so as to ascertain whether he was really dead or not. But just as Ria said, they wouldn't be announcing his death anytime soon. “Good…” The masked man smirked, his eyes twinkling beneath his mask. He now truly believed that he had gotten rid of his rival and what he had to do now was to stomp on the West Organization. Whoever was going to be their King, whether it was Jones Westminster or anyone else, he wasn't going to let them rise above him.“Announce his death. Also, brin
Rise Of The Billionaire Son Alexander’s Identity
“THE NEW CEO OF WEST CONGLOMERATE, CHRIS WESTMINSTER HAS BEEN CONFIRMED DEAD BY THE HOSPITAL. AS OF NOW, WE HAVE NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY WHILE THE COMPANY’S STOCKS KEEP PLUMMETING.” The news headline was making a rave as everyone was pumped to know what the Westminster family had to say. And at this moment, Jones Westminster, together with Alexander McQueen had just gotten down from the private plane they came with. They walked quietly to the prepared car that drove straight to the hospital. The car was tense and quiet and none of them made any attempt to speak. They had decided not to interfere with Ria and Chris’ life until they came back to their original country. However, with the recent happenings with Ria and how Chris got shot, they couldn't continue to ignore those two. “Master, have you seen the news?” Butler Steve who had been with them, at the forefront of the car passed an iPad to Jones. “It says Chris is dead.” Steve’s voice was heavy, causing Alexander

“Did you follow her?” Butler Rico asked hours later since Ria disappeared. Rico Axe stood before him with a troubled expression. “Yes. She is no longer one of us.” Axe shook his head, a bit dejected. However, that dejected feeling washed away with that of a serious one. “What do we do? Should we inform the master and Alexander? They should know about Ria–”“No.” The butler cut him off quickly. “We still have to handle Chris. I would rather not let the master know that Ria is gone, especially her brother. He is a nut case.” Butler Rico was trying to tread carefully. They all knew Alexander McQueen and even though he carried a handsome face with a very good public image, he was very notorious. Being able to be their master’s assistant for a long while, was no joke, and none of them could determine what he would do when he eventually discovered Ria’s betrayal. “Let’s wait until they get here.” Ricondecided. Even though Axe was not comfortable with that decision, he still nodded in ac

Following Chris
“How did it go?” Chris asked as he scrolled through a few documents on his phone. He was particularly concerned about how Mars had reacted to the order he gave. “We have nothing from him. After he left the meeting room, he disappeared.” Rico Axe said. “He just disappeared?” Chris raised a brow in question. “Yes!” Rico nodded. “Can you find more information on him? Something about him just ticks me off. His sudden appearance is suspicious.” Chris demanded, his gaze turning dim in thought. “Alright. I will do that.” Rico nodded. “Also, the police have requested your presence.” “Why?” Chris frowned. “Reid is yet to be found and they are asking if you can give them any information. They need you in for questioning tomorrow.”“Hmm…” Chris frowned, feeling like something was off. He didn't think Reid had the resources to hide so well but. He could decide to mobilize his men to look for Reid but it could interfere with the police work. However, on his end, Reid was a ticking time bom
Mars’ Dilemma
Mars stared at Walker Rice, hoping he would do something and say something on his behalf but that didn't happen. Walked joined Rico Axe in staring at him, waiting for him to leave. On the other hand, Mars knew he couldn't just leave, or else he would be in a lot of trouble. “Can you tell me why?” He asked Rico, trying to stay calm. “I can’t say, Mr. Mars. My job is to receive direct orders from my boss.” Rico shook his head, nonchalantly. Finally, his last resort, Mars looked at Walker, “Boss, do something.”Walker closed his eyes, torn between speaking up for Mars and just continuing the meeting. There was a lot at stake and he couldn't afford to offend Chris. So he said, “Maybe you should think about what you did. Chris wouldn't just do a thing like this. While you are out, reflect on your actions.”Mars was taken aback. He begged for the deal to be reinstated and a while ago, Walker was commending him and now, he was being treated like someone who had done wrong. In that mome
See Your Assistant Out
Chris was right in the car, staring curiously at Mars who kept banging his head on the hard floor. Even though he was dripping with blood down his head, Mars didn't stop. Also, Chris observed that his skin tore way too easily. He wasn't concerned about the self-harming Mars but he was incredibly curious. It seemed Mars was unpredictable. And as he looked out of the windscreen, with the lights shining on Mars’ face, it was as if Mars was looking back at him, with an eerie smile. Even though he was obviously in pain, Mars was smiling. But the most disturbing thing was that the car windows were tinted and there was no way Mars knew Chris was looking at him. He was just staring. Second by second, he looked even more unpredictable to Chris and irked him so much. If Chris wanted to, he could drive off and leave him to continue self-harming but he didn't do that. He stepped out of the car, his hands in his pockets as he approached Mars. “Do you want to die here?” Chris spoke up, standi
Entry-level Worker
Rice Walker stormed out of the high-end restaurant with blazing anger. He went straight to the parking lot where Mars was already waiting by the car and without stopping, he stormed toward the assistant. Pak!“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Walker yelled. “Who do you think you are to ruin a billion-dollar deal like that?”“Can your whole existence ever pay for it?” Walker snarled, his eyes twitching because he was feeling extreme anger. He wanted to raise his hand at Mars again but he held back, breathing heavily. “I am sorry.” Mars bowed his head slightly. “I didn't know what came over me. I misspoke.”“I don’t care if you misspoke! The only reason why you are here today is because my father asked me to take you along as my assistant!” “If he realizes you are trying to ruin this deal, he is going to do the unimaginable to you, do you understand?” Walker hinted at what could happen. His father was banking on this deal as well and a mere assistant couldn't just ruin it. “I am
Mars’ Extreme Reaction
The office went completely silent, as Chris looked straight at Mars. At the same time, Walker looked nervous and quickly sat up.“Don’t worry, Chris. I will do it. Mars here has an issue with talking and he won't be able to do it.” Walker rushed to get the proposal documents they had prepared. “Is that so?” Chris asked, looking at Mars intently and Mars never for once took his eyes off Chris too. It was like they had a staring contest which ticked Chris off the wrong way. “Hey, Mars!” Walker called, interrupting the staring competition. “Come help me.”Mars nodded before standing up and Chris was finally able to concentrate. However, through the proposal meeting, Mars was all quiet, silently giving everything Walker needed. And by the end of everything, he looked like a zombie, just moving around and being told what to do. Even though it wasn't an abnormal situation, Chris found it odd. “So, what do you think?” Walker asked, his eyes glistening with expectations. “It’s good. I wi

Five days later…Chris sat at his desk, right in the CEO’s office, however, he was staring into space. Too much time had passed and Baron was still being held in custody and the police was still looking for him. He had expected Gerald to reach out to him by now but nothing was happening. “Boss…” Rico Axe walked in, with a serious expression. “Is there any news from the Rice family?” He asked. “No.” Rico shook his head. “However, there is another important news.” Immediately, Chris perked up, raising his brows in question. “Mike was arrested after the evidence that was released but Reid is still nowhere to be found. His last location was a warehouse but we still cannot find him yet.” Rico Axe explained, looking a bit worried. “Really?” Chris raises his brows again. He had almost forgotten that people like Mike and Reid existed because he thought he was done with that chapter. He now recalled that Reid was supposed to pay him 36 million dollars because of the car he wrecked. “Did
Destroy Him!
“Master?” Reid scoffed, even though he was weak. He felt the masked man’s words before him were laughable and he struggled to sit up on the chair while still tied. He wiped the side of his face where blood was and continued to speak “Who still does master and servant in this day and age? You may be a minion to someone, but it doesn't mean–”Pak!That slap came unexpectedly and it swept Reid off the chair again. This time, the rope used to tie him broke and he became free. However, before he could even begin to escape, Gerald stepped forward. He had a rod in hand and in the next second, he swung it straight at his head. “Ahhh…” Reid gasped, his body shook in pain and he held his head. “You…” He couldn't speak anymore because as the second passed by, Gerald continued to hit him. Bang!Bang!!Continuous beatings resounded in the room and soon, Reid lay on the floor, almost lifeless. His body was bloodied and his eyes were dizzy. At that moment, Gerald took off his mask but Reid co
Your New Master And Lord
In the Rice family mansion…Chase was pacing up and down before the patriarch's study room and his gaze was filled with turmoil. He had no way of breaking the news to Gerald that something had gone wrong with Baron. The patriarch had given him a chance to live and prove himself before and now, he was afraid he was going to be gunned down immediately. “If you keep pacing out there, I will think you are hiding something from me, Chase.” Gerald’s voice rang out in the corridor and his head snapped up to look at the camera which was above the door. The patriarch could see every one of his movements and now, he realized he had no choice but to go in. And when he did, he walked carefully toward the partition in the study and he had to close his eyes in preparation for whatever he was going to see behind the partition. “My lord…” Chase went in with a bow and slowly looked up at Gerald. However, he was quick to look down again because the patriarch’s face looked unsightly, like dead skin
The Shareholders Saga
“Is there anyone else who wants to join him?” Chris’ voice boomed through the meeting room and his eyes zeroed in on the other shareholders who had lost their shares. They all went quiet, afraid that Chris was going to throw them out. “Good.” Chris nodded, in satisfaction, seeing that none of them dared to speak up again. “Now, let’s begin.” “Can we start, father?” He asked. “Yes.” Jones perked up immediately. He looked at them all with a serious gaze, “Your bad planning of selling the shares is not my son’s fault.”“However, we are working on finding who the unknown buyer is.” Jones tried to calm their minds. “If you find this buyer, Chairman, are we going to get our shares back? We made mistakes and we want to retrace our steps.” Some of them asked, anxious that they may never get the chance to sit at that meeting anymore. “We have to know who bought it.” They declared! Chris sat there, watching the commotion. If he should reveal that he bought it, he couldn't decipher how ex
