Chris realized that the masked man wanted to see him, not because there was a new revolution going on but because he wasn't threatened the slightest bit. He wanted to see just how weak Chris was and it pissed him off so bad.

He took deep breaths, aiming to calm himself and soon he walked out of the private area and back into the elevator.

This meeting with the masked man was sudden and Chris wondered if all this was planned because Ria appeared at the club or not.

As he got out of the elevator, he walked mindlessly into the crowd of people, and just at this moment, he felt a tap on the back.

His head snapped around with a sharp gaze, thinking it was Genie or someone else trying to play games on him. But then he saw that it was Ria.

“Where have been?” She asked.

However, Chris didn't bother to reply to her, he caught her by the hand and started to drag her out. Her feet stumbled against the crowd and his grip tightened as he walked.

He was very angry at Ria, feeling like he got

    The next morning… “When are we leaving today?” Chris asked as soon as Butler Rico walked into his room. “As soon as you are ready,” Rico said, still excited from last night's determination. “The Ricos are ready anytime.” “Get the car ready,” Chris instructed as he got into the bathroom, took a shower and soon he was done. By this time, Ria was already awake too, and as she saw that Chris and the butler were preparing to leave, she frowned. “Are you both going somewhere without me?” Ria asked, with a frown. “It’s the weekend. You don’t have to work overtime, why are you dressed like someone who has to leave for work?” Chris sighed, he never thought Ria would be such a hassle. “I have something to do at the office.” Chris lied. “Just stay home and we will be back soon.” He turned away from her before Ria could say anything. He nodded at the butler to lead the way and they both didn't see the angry expression on Ria’s face. She was vexed that they were leaving without her again,

    Ria opened her mouth to speak but she couldn't form any words. The way Chris had sounded so panicked and urgent made her think something fishy was up. He had told her to stay right where she was and she wasn't sure if he was near her or not. “Miss Ria…” Dan called out again, bringing her to her senses. “You can get out of the car now.”“Uhmm…no.” She shook her head. “I think I'll stay in the car.” Dan frowned, not liking the sound of that. That wasn't how he had planned this and he took a few moments to think, and seeing the way Ria was so resolute, he put his hand on the doorknob, wanting to open the door. “What are you doing?” Ria was shocked, immediately locking the door with the speed of light. “You have to get down, Miss Ria! I brought you here, shouldn't you be grateful?” Dan asked, glaring at her as he started to bang on the door. Ria started to panic, looking around to check if Chris was coming for her. She started to blame and chastise herself for following Dan to this

  • Rise Of The Billionaire Son    Chris’ Wicked Look

    Chris took a deep breath, staring at the rows of cells with heavy breaths. He had not seen a thing like this before but then he knew that this was the mafia and there was no escaping. Ria was shaken by his side and he turned to her, “You can stay here while we go in.”However, Rico interjected, “No. She will go in too.” The resolute look in his eyes was evident and he stared down at Ria, “You are staying. You wanted to be here so bad, right?”Ria pursed her lips, her eyes roaming around in fear. She looked to Chris for help but he seemed like he was in accordance with Rico’s words. And then she started to wonder if she had shot herself in the foot. She realized what they were hiding from her and she regretted being so curious and impatient. Now, she was roped into something she couldn't explain, and at the back of her mind, she knew that this was a dangerous part of Chris’ life and maybe her life too. “I will go in.” She nodded finally and soon, they all filed in. Chris and Ria too

    “Ahhh…” Ria let out a loud scream immediately after the gun was pointed at her. Her body drummed with horror and she took several steps back. But then she landed in a puddle of blood that splattered all over. “You had a choice, Ria. You wanted to be here so bad. And now you are. Don’t back out.” Rico warned. “Otherwise, we have no choice but to do away with you.”“No… no…” Ria shook her head and then looked at Chris with a pleading expression. “Please, stop him. I don’t want to die.”On the other hand, Chris was calm even with the gun pointed at Ria. He knew that Rico wouldn't pull the trigger because there were a lot of things involved if Ria died. Rico was just doing that to scare her. “There is nothing I can do, Ria.” Chris shrugged. “It’s either you get in here, or…” His eyes traveled to the gun and back to her. She got the message immediately and the fear and shock in her body doubled.Chris was dumping her! Letting her be threatened! She couldn't believe it! She saved him! And

    “Let him go.” Chris waved his hand nonchalantly, and immediately Axe took a step backward. All eyes were on Dan Troy and they waited a few more minutes for him to finally stop shaking. “You better start talking.” Axe waved the nutcracker in his hand threateningly and Dan quickly nodded. “I will speak,” Dan said and Chris folded his hands behind his back. “I work for The Reds.” Dan began and his words didn't come as a surprise to them but only to Ria who was confused. She heard about The Reds from Genie that day in the parking lot and now she started to wonder if they were dangerous too. “But… a mishap happened and I have been trying to get away from them. The leader of The Reds will definitely punish me later and I have to save myself before he gets to me.” Dan suddenly looked scared, his eyes flickering from Axe to Chris. “I need help, please.” He pleaded. However, none of them were fazed and Chris spoke up, “What mishap happened? What did you do?”“I.. I…” Dan started to shake

  • Rise Of The Billionaire Son    Ria Is Gone

    “I do not think that is a wise decision, Chris.” Butler Rico kicked against that idea. It was quite risky to keep a spy alive and even more so, it was dangerous to trust him. Chris nodded, taking Rico’s concern into thought as he looked straight at Dan Troy. “I will give you three days, three days to bring whatever information is necessary on The Reds, and if you don’t…” Chris's tone drawled out, as he bent forward to look Dan in the eye. Chris’ eyes going to dim as a wicked glint flashed across his eyes, “… I will not only kill you, I will cut you up.”The responsibility to take care of the West Conglomerate and the mafia organization rested on him heavily and he couldn't afford to make a mistake. “Yes… I will do as you say.” Dan nodded, his lips quivering in fear. In the next second, Chris stood upright and instructed the butler to get a few people to clean Dan up and let him go. Rico nodded and soon, they all filed out of the torture room with Ria looking very lost. She slowl

    Chris and butler Rico had reached inside the building and they went straight to the control room. With a quick pull of the footages, they saw the moment when Ria got out and drove away in her car. And then someone came out of the side bushes, with a face mask, showing half of the person’s face. “That person looks familiar…” Chris pointed out as the same person went straight to Dan’s car and drove away. “It’s Genie.” Rico answered Chris’ visible question. At this, Chris swiped his fingers through his hair, feeling like everything was a mess. He was just encountering one trouble after another and everything was moving too fast when he had not even adapted fully to everything. “Did Dan lead that bitch here?” Chris asked, getting very annoyed. “I guess so…” Rico answered as he rewound the footage and he was back to watching Ria’s car leave. His eyes dimmed as he stared intently at the screen and hit the pause button. “Look…” Rico pointed out. “There is someone behind Ria’s car.” I

    “Are you sure about this?” Butler Rico asked as Rico Axe, was seated, getting dressed to become Dan Troy. The scar on his face was covered perfectly with makeup and slowly, he looked more like Dan facially and body-wise. Different torture marks were drawn on his face too and now he looked battered and bruised. “Do you think I am doing something risky?” Chris asked back as he watched the process too. “Of course, it is risky. If The Reds find out you are playing them, it might not turn out well.” Rico was a bit concerned. “But you wouldn't want me to play by the rules, would you?” Chris chuckled. “There will be no fun if he just follows what that masked man told him to do. It would just reinforce the fact that the masked man didn't think of me.”“And I can’t continue to take that.” He shrugged. Rico went silent, and even though he liked the power clash, he was indeed still concerned. Chris was just learning the ropes of things and he might get hurt in the process. “Anything that h

  • 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

  • I’ll Leave

    Chris had been thinking about his father’s words even after the shareholders meeting started. He was even more intrigued about Gerald now and he wondered what that old man had with his father. However, the first he wanted to do before planning on his new task was to see the Rice family patriarch and he had just the right idea for that. “Chris, are you listening?” A shareholder asked, irritated by Chris’ absent-mindedness “What?” Chris raised his brows. “What do you mean what? We are all in this mess because of you!” The shareholder banged his fist on the table, startling everyone there. “What did I do?” Chris shrugged with a nonchalant expression. “If it’s not because of your private situation which you didn't handle well, some of us wouldn't have to sell ohr shares so hurriedly!” The shareholder continued brazenly while the other people around looked at him in astonishment, not expecting those words. “Now, we do not know who bought off the shares dirt cheap! We are all in this

  • His Next Task

    Chris and Jones Westminster reached the company building and as expected, several reporters were stationed outside, wanting to speak to Chris. After the truth was revealed, there were many netizens bashing the police and also reporters who failed to dig out the truth. The netizens were raving about Chris’ handsomeness and how calm he was during the whole situation. On the other hand, Jones was smiling ear-to-ear, happy that he had such a capable son. As soon as Chris got out of the car, the reporters crowded around him, asking several questions. “How do you feel about winning this batter, Chris Westminster?” A reporter asked. “There is no specific feeling…” Chris shook his head. “I have always been innocent and no matter the words that were said against me online, I knew the truth would always prevail.” “We would love to know if the Rice family specifically targeted you this time. Baron who became the CEO, turned out to be a blackmailer. Was he working alone, or was he being dir

BARON RICE WHO HAD JUST BECOME THE CEO OF THE RICE FAMILY BUSINESS WAS SAID TO HAVE THREATENED CHRIS.”“HIS APPOINTMENT AS CEO CAN BE LINKED TO THIS AND WE ARE ALL WONDERING IF THERE IS A SILENT RIVALRY BETWEEN THE WESTMINSTER FAMILY AND THE RICE FAMILY.” Chris sat in his study, and for the first time in a long while, a genuine smile spread on his face. He knew Baron and Gerald must be fuming wherever they were now and he wondered what Gerald would do to punish Baron. “Do you have Baron’s location?” He asked, a thought brewing in his mind.“Yes, I do. I had people monitor the Rice family mansion last night and I was informed of Baron being dragged out. He is currently being held at an underground cell…” Rico Axe explained. Chris nodded, impressed by his attention to things. “Why don’t we give Baron a little visit?” Chris asked. “What do you mean?” Rico Axe perked up, feeling like trouble was brewing in Chris’ mind.“Get

THE POLICE HAVE NOW SWUNG INTO ACTION AND ARE LOOKING FOR THE REAL MURDERERS OF JOSE.”“A COLLEGE STUDENT NAMED REID AND HIS ACCOMPLICE, MIKE ARE NOW WANTED BY THE POLICE.” In a dingy warehouse where Reid had been camping over the past few days, the news anchor’s voice echoed so loud that Reid felt like his head was about to explode. He had not been home for days because he had not been able to pay the 36 million dollar bill that was thrown in his face by Chris. Seeing his name and face plastered all over the news on his phone, gave him fear and anxiety. He couldn't even face his parents before now and now this?“That video…” He muttered, his gaze darkening. He recalled that Ren had taken a video that night and still told him the video was deleted. But there it was! On th

  • Stop The Broadcast

    “Boss, Baron has been announced as the CEO. He took a jab at us and since then, our stocks and shares plummeted. Shareholders and even employees are now jumping ships.” Rico Axe said worriedly. He wanted Chris to take action immediately but Chris was so laid back like there wasn't fire on the mountain. “What do we do?” Rico Axe asked. “Release the confessions…” Chris instructed, knowing it was time. “Right away.” Rico nodded. They had everything in place and he would even do a live broadcast to prove Chris’ innocence. However, on the other hand, Chris knew it wasn't enough. He still needed to link everything to Baron, and the Rice family. But then, it wasn't a problem, so he quickly stopped Rico Axe. “Take my phone and copy every single detail of my conversation with Baron. Show the world how he threatened me. We shouldn't let him last a day on the CEO seat, should we?” Chris grinned wickedly. At those words, Rico Axe was even more pumped to do his job and he quickly took over

  • Downfall Of The Westminster Family

    “Have you seen the news?” Rico Axe rushed into Chris’ study room with an anxious gaze. “Those bastards took it a notch higher than I expected. They even claimed that we ruined their family business!”“I want to slit their throat so bad!” Axe was so annoyed that he couldn't do anything. Back at the mafia base, it was so easy to get rid of people like that. But then they had to tread with caution here. “Calm down, Axe. We have everything under control, I guess.” Chris shrugged with a nonchalant expression. After he listened to the news once, he refused to listen to it again. Even though he wasn't guilty of anything they said, he still couldn't stomach the insults and might do something drastic. “Have you gotten the confessions from them all?” Chris asked. “Yes. Ren’s confession was especially shocking…” Rico Axe said, looking at Chris with a sympathetic expression. “Those people really wanted to wreck you. Thank God we planned for this ahead otherwise, Baron is going to wreck you.”“
