“Oh, but they look so good together.” Fiona crooned as she led him to their box. “I’ve honestly never seen a couple fit each other so perfectly.”Luke pressed his fingers against his eyes and breathed in deeply. “I know what you’re doing, Fiona. There’s really no point of rubbing it in my face.” He growled.She turned around and looked at him innocently.“I’m not doing anything. I’m only stating facts.”Thankfully, he was saved from replying when they finally made it to their box.“Look, I chose a box directly beside Hillary’s.” She said excitedly. “Isn’t that great?”The sight of Nina with another man had completely washed away the excitement that had pumped through his blood earlier at the thought of seeing Hillary. Luke couldn’t even force himself to pretend to be excited anymore.“That’s great.” He said dully.The opera was yet to start. While Fiona mixed and chatted with everyone who walked past their private box, Luke sank into the seat and hoped the darkness covered the burning

Luke felt a strange vibration against his chest. He looked down and to his horror, realised that his amulet was glowing again. The damn thing must’ve picked up signals of his anger towards the Colton brothers.He subtly covered the area with his palm, hoping no one had noticed the strange glow. His heartbeat accelerated as he scanned the room in search of Fiona. To his relief, he found her chattering away with a long time friend. Good. She was distracted for the meantime.He had to find water. Quickly.“Excuse me, can you direct me to the washroom?” He asked one of the uniformed ushers who stood at the door.“Right this way, sir.” With his palm still pressed against his chest, Luke followed behind as the man led him through a brightly lit hallway. Suddenly, he paused and pointed at a row of doors in the distance.“That’s the restroom, sir. Have a pleasant evening.” Then he bowed slightly and departed. Luke hurried towards the first door and walked into the spacious, neat bathroom.

The entire atmosphere was tense and silent as Luke and Adam engaged in a heated standoff. Luke said nothing for a moment, unable to believe his ears.“What did you say?”Adam folded his arms against his chest and turned away.“You heard me. I know what you are, my darling Luke. I could perceive your powers the very moment you walked into the room.”Luke felt his insides grow cold.“How’s that even possible? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”“Denying it only makes you look like a fool!” Adam retorted as he whirled in his direction. “And you’re not a fool, are you?”Luke remained completely mute for a few seconds. He held Adam’s gaze with a clenched jaw, willing his jumbled nerves to calm the fuck down.“Who are you? What are you?”“Are you sure you’re mentally ready for that information?” His opponent growled icily.Luke could swear that the temperature in the room suddenly dropped and the entire bathroom became freezing. He looked around, his nerves building in a mixture of a
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 152 – WITH A MAN
Luke slowly backed away from Adam, keeping his reflexes on high alert in case of any unexpected attacks.Adam smirked.“There’s no need to be scared of me just yet, Rydling. Don’t worry, I’m not coming for you tonight. But I will… very, very soon.”A sudden thought occurred to Luke.“Did you send me that letter? Have you been stalking me all these while? What do you know about my grandfather?”Adam blinked at him for a second, his features twisted in confusion.“I have no idea what you’re talking aboutLuke wanted to argue but the look of pure surprise on Adam’s face stopped him. No matter how disappointing it was, Adam was not behind those letters and those threats. Which meant Luke still had an unidentified madman on his hands.Adam walked past him and lifted his hand to touch his shoulder. Luke ducked at the last minute, leaving the villain’s hand hanging in thin air.“Someone’s feisty.” Adam commented as he walked towards the door. He stopped at the doorway and threw one last jab
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 153 – ADAM
Luke was furious.He pushed past Nina and barged into her spacious apartment, already prepared to cause bloody murder.“Where’s the bastard hiding? Where is he?!”Nina ran after him and tried to grab his arm but Luke wasn’t having it.“Luke! What the hell do you think you’re doing? Luke!”“Adam!” Luke roared, his anger heightening with every passing second. “Come out, you coward. Adam!”Nina stepped in front of him, her eyes flashing with annoyance as she breathed heavily.“You have no right to come in here and do this, Luke. I want you to leave. Now.”Luke was way too furious to listen to reason. Something told him to just back away and leave lest he’d do or say something he would later regret, but the part of him that wanted to rip Adam to tiny shreds finally won.“And I’m asking you to step aside or produce him, Nina. Produce him or I’ll ransack this place and get him out myself.”Nina balled her small fingers.“And what right do you think you have to do any of that? If you don’t l

The next morning, Luke barely made it past the front door of his mansion when Fiona started screaming. She stomped down the stairs and got in his face.“You spent the night with her, didn’t you?” She snarled. “You slept with her, in her bed even after she came to the opera with her boyfriend. How could you, Luke! How could you leave your pregnant wife at him and choose to spend the night with that slut? Did you guys fuck? Is that it? She allowed you to sleep with her like the cheap slut that she is. I’m not surprised.”Luke had been trying so hard to just avoid her and go up to his room but all that flew out the window the moment she kept disrespecting Nina.His face hardened dangerously and he stepped forward.“Call her a slut again. I dare you.”Nina opened her mouth to speak but froze when she saw the devilish expression on his face.“I…”“Why exactly do you think you’re allowed to talk about her in that manner?” He growled. “You will refer to her with respect or keep her name out
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 155 – DOCK BOULEVARD
Luke was thoughtful for a moment. “That explains the air of hostility I felt around them. They probably know I’m a Rydling and what’s worse? I’m the chosen one.”Mason nodded. “Yup. That’s a possibility. Anyways, we have no idea what they’re planning but be rest assured that their business is clean. They probably don’t mix revenge with business.”Luke took a deep breath.“And Adam? What’s his deal?”He was not surprised when Mason’s brow furrowed in thought. The man knew everything.“As far as I know, Adam’s parents were also indirectly killed by the Rydling war.”Luke froze.“Indirectly?”“Exactly. I don’t have all the details but I know that when they disappeared, they were recruited by Malcolm to fight the war. They returned with very severe injuries, almost at the cusp of death.”Luke had a feeling that he wouldn’t like where this was going. At all. “Then what happened?”“I honestly don't know, man. The elders keep that particular information very, very hidden. You’ll either ha
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 156 – UNEXPECTED ARREST
Three hours later, Luke was flipping through some papers on his desk when he felt a strange, sudden chill in the atmosphere.His amulet tingled strangely against his chest and his heartbeat accelerated with panic. His head snapped upwards just in time to watch Ryker appear out of thin air, looking spick and span in his expensive clothes as always.Shocked, Luke made to rise from his chair but Ryker raised a hand, indicating he should remain where he was.“Hello, chosen one. We meet again.”“My name is Luke. I’d prefer it if you called me that.”Ryker smirked and sank into the Emory visitor’s chair in front of him.“I’ll call you anything I damn well please, my boy.”Luke was not surprised.“I understand that you’re an elder and whatnot but this is my office, my territory… and you will speak to me with respect.”For the next few seconds, Ryker blinked at him with a stunned expression. The men were locked in a heated stare battle but Luke would rather be castrated before he looked away

182 – THE END
One year later“…to end this broadcast, here’s a recap of the major stories.Former Mrs. Fiona George, ex wife to one of London’s most successful trillionaire businessman, Luke George, along with her mother, Mrs. Carmichael and ex-boyfriend, David Humsworth have all been sentenced to different years in prison. After a long year of legal battles, the court finally announced their sentence today, bringing months of crime and criminal conspiracy to an end…”A sense of satisfaction settled over Luke’s heart as he watched clips of Fiona, her mother and David being led into a police van, already handcuffed. Fiona was screaming and crying while David and Mrs. Carmichael lowered their heads to avoid being captured by the cameras.Beside Luke, Nina, his five months pregnant wife, snuggled deeper against his side, placing her small hands atop his chest.“It’s finally over.” She whispered, her gentle voice already soothing his soul. “It’s really over. Are you happy now?”Luke twisted to the si

181 — THE TRUTH. THE SHOCKING TRUTH
For five long seconds, a thick blanket of silence reigned in the room. Lord George stared at Nina in shock, obviously unable to believe his ears. Lucas’ expression was filled with awe while Fiona and her mother looked like they’d just been forced to swallow a bowl full of fart.“Luke, she’s lying. This bitch is lying to you. I didn’t bribe the doctor. How could I do that when I didn’t even know the hospital until you took me there? How can I betray you like that?” She sniffed and hiccuped, looking every bit the victim.Mrs. Carmichael was enraged.“All you’ve done for the past few minutes is go around yapping that little mouth of yours and spewing lies.” She spat at Nina. “Where’s your evidence, huh? You’re claiming that my daughter bribed the doctor. Where’s your goddamn evidence, you shameless homewrecker?!”“If you’re looking for evidence, don’t ask her. Ask me.”Everyone turned towards the door, searching for the owner of the new voice.Mrs Carmichael’s face dampened with fear an

180 – NINA’S REVELATION
Luke’s heart thundered like a runaway train as Fiona came closer and closer, thrusting the baby towards him.When she was just a hair’s breadth away, Nina intercepted her, blocking her from reaching him.Fiona’s scowl deepened, her eyes already burning with rage.“What the heck do you think you’re doing, Nina? Get out of my way.” She snapped angrily.“And what the hell do you think you’re doing?” Nina countered, folding her arms.Fiona raised her chin.“I was just about to introduce Luke to his son and heir before you rudely interrupted. As you know, my Cameron is a bonafide member of this family. You’re not. Therefore you have no right to be here. Why don’t you just give up on your plans to destroy my marriage, Nina? Can’t you see that you’re already failing?”Nina smirked.“Since we’re all here and you seem to have so much to say today, Fiona, why don’t we play a little game?”Luke stared at the back of Nina’s head with confusion. What was she doing?“In addition to being blind, ar

179 — AFTER COMA
SIX MONTHS LATERPain. He was in so much pain.His arms, legs and back throbbed and burned. His head felt like a wailing banshee had taken up residence. He tried to open his eyes but his eyelids seemed to be glued shut.“His vitals seem okay but he’s no longer responding to treatment. I’m afraid his coma might become worse. His injuries are nothing like we’ve ever seen before.”He heard noises above him and tried to alert whoever it was to the fact that he was actually awake. He tried to blink or even move his finger, but his body refused to listen to his brain as usual.“I’m sorry but you and your family will have to consider taking him off life support. I don’t mean to be pessimistic but it doesn’t look like he’ll get any better than this.”His heart tightened with panic as he listened to the doctor go on and on about how he’ll never recover. Someone was crying in the room. He could hear the whimpers. Her whimpers.He struggled to stay awake for a moment longer but his brain was spi

178 – THE FUNERAL
THREE MONTHS LATERThe day was dark and gloomy. Rydling soldiers and Elders gathered around the glass casket, their faces pinched in tight frowns.“We’re gathered today to celebrate the one person who sacrificed his life to save all of us. We’re here to witness the end of the reign of our chosen one.” Elder Tomako said quietly.“We watched him fight a good fight. Now, it’s time to bid him farewell. We tried our possible best to bring him back, but I believe this is really the end of the road for our hero. Lower the casket.”The casket was lowered by four heavily built soldiers into the already dug earth. The moment it touched the ground, the death bells started ringing.The forlorn sounds of the bell were followed by flashes of lightning and the deep, rumbling sounds of thunder. That was the king of the Rydlings himself, saying goodbye to his chosen one. The Chosen One had fought a good fight. Now, it was time for him to rest eternally.

177 — THE DAY HE DIED. THE END OF THE WAR.
THE END OF HIS REIGN***Have you ever gotten the feeling that you’re about to die and no one can save you even if they tried?Have you ever looked death straight in the eyes?That was all that went through Luke’s mind as he stared at the red eyes of the demon-beast before him. His knees and heart quaked with fear and blood whooshed loudly in his ears.Luke knew he was powerless without his amulet. Even if he’d trained for physical combat, those skills wouldn’t be of any significant help against Malcolm.Malcolm took a step forward and Luke gulped in deeply.“I heard Rydling had chosen a weakling to save his people.” He growled, his voice dripping with disgust. “I thought my people were bluffing. But looking at you, I guess they weren’t.Which makes me wonder why my own brother would, out of the millions of experienced and well-trained soldiers at his disposal, choose a good-for-nothing scaredy-cat to lead a war against me.” Malcolm burst into loud, booming laughter. “I mean, what w

176 – THE RETURN OF THE WITCH AND THE DEMON
A month later…Something was coming. Luke could feel it.For the past month, his anxiety rate had tripled. During the day, he felt followed, stalked. At night, he felt watched.. He could barely sleep these days. His amulet glowed all night and he was pretty certain he’d heard whispers in the dark two nights ago. The hairs on the back of his neck stood at attention. His guts burned with suspicion. There was something wrong somewhere.Something was coming. Something dark…and very, very ugly.****“Focus, Luke. Focus! Channel your amulet’s power. If you’re distracted, the enemy will definitely find an opening to strike.”Luke took a deep breath, trying to calm his raging nerves. Today’s training was on mobility. His ability to dodge the strikes of evil spells or possibly, gun shots from the enemy.“There’s an unwritten rule that guns are banned from all supernatural wars but Malcolm’s followers are evil. We should not underestimate their inclination to cheat.” Elder Tomako had said ea

175 – TRAINING FOR WAR
FOUR MONTHS LATER“It's all about concentration, Luke.” Elder Tomako said for the umpteenth time. “Close your eyes and focus on the power within your amulet. Channel it. If you can do that, the amulet would do anything you want. Close your eyes and feel the magic. Command it.”Luke shot his eyes and focused. Gradually, he felt the familiar energy begin to build. His amulet glowed and throbbed against his chest, sending spurts after spurts of power through his entire frame.He chanted the power codes he was taught throughout his first month of training and the tips of his finger began to burn. “Ancient spirits please arise. Lend your power and your might. Victory over my enemies, I pray thee. Ancient spirits please arise!”Finally, the energy within him became so powerful, shards of dangerous light shot through his fingers and sliced all the targets in front of him, reducing them to puffs of dust.The room erupted into a flurry of explosions and the stench of smoke filled the air.Whe

174 – PLOTTING LUKE’S DESTRUCTION
“How did you kill him?” Luke asked as they both settled down on the Italian sofa.Lucas’ expression became guarded.“Well, turns out, grandpa isn't the only person Edoardo was indebted to. The bastard was involved with a lot of shady people. He gambled a lot and lost loads of cash in the process.Unfortunately, he borrowed money from an organisation that doesn’t believe debtors should walk around scot free.”A slight chill crawled up Luke’s spine at Lucas’ dark expression.“What organisation was that?”Lucas took a few seconds too long to reply and Luke instantly knew that Edoardo had fallen into deep, deep shit before his death.“Edoardo borrowed money from the Russian crime syndicate. The Bratva.”Luke froze as shock shot through his entire system. “D-did you just say…?”Lucas nodded.“Yes. Unfortunately for him, he borrowed half a million dollars from them and couldn’t pay back after a period of six months like he’d promised.”Luke's heart thumped wildly as he asked;“How did they
