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
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 157 – HIS LORDSHIP IN PRISON
Luke vowed that he wasn’t going to show any inkling of fear before his enemies. Even if panic burned a fiery path in his guts, he refused to back down or show any traces of being intimidated. He had to prove to Adam that he couldn’t intimidate him.“There’s really no need to resist to violence.” He said softly, holding both his hands before him. “I’m not resisting arrest. I know I’m innocent. You can take me in for questioning. I don’t mind.”Luke was mildly satisfied at the tiny evidence of shock that flared in Adam’s eyes. Rule number three in his invisible rule book; always take your enemies by surprise. “Come on, Detective Adam.” He urged, his tone slightly mocking. “Take me into custody, please. I’d love to see the look of embarrassment on your face when my innocence is proven.”Adam’s face reddened with rage. He stepped forward and grabbed Luke’s wrists, roughly clasping the cuffs around them.“Be careful with him!” Mirabel half screamed. “He’s not a criminal. Why are you bein
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 158 – THE INTERROGATION ROOM
Luke and Mcgregor watched Adam saunter off with annoyed expressions on both their faces. Luke rubbed his throbbing shoulder and let out a small groan of pain.“Please accept my most sincere apology for this misunderstanding, your lordship. I’ll be sure to get to the root of this.”Luke shook his head.“Haven't you seen the news? Someone is trying to set me up for a crime I have absolutely no idea of. I didn’t plant those drugs, McGregor.”“I know that, your lordship. Which is why I’m going to work tirelessly to find the person who did. I have already deployed my most qualified men to check out the trucks. The truth will be revealed soon.”“And Adam?” Luke asked, his brows furrowed with annoyance. “What are we going to do about him?”“I have honestly never seen him act this hotheaded.” McGregor admitted. “He’s usually very calm so I don’t think there’s any problem.”Luke wished he could tell McGregor everything that was going on. Of course Adam was a good little boy at work… because n
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 159 – STABBED
The atmosphere literally radiated sparks as Luke struggled to dodge yet another one of Adam’s blows. Adam was working on dark powers. His blows were precise and very well aimed. Luke knew he wouldn’t be able to dodge forever. He was only a few seconds away from actually being stabbed to death.“Die already, you bastard!” Adam sneered. “Just die!!”Luke tried to scramble off the chair but Adam, as usual, was too quick. He wrapped a palm around Luke’s arm and hauled him back against the seat. Luke landed with a thud, a hiss of pain slipping through his lips.“I have you where I want you now, Rydling. There’s no escaping me.”Luke watched as the sharp edge of his blade glinted into the dull light of the interrogation room. His blood turned to ice and his heartbeat accelerated with panic. This was it. This was the moment he died.His enemies had finally won.Adam lifted his hand further into the air and brought it down with violent force and a loud roar. Luke moved away just in time but
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 160 – SURPRISING REVELATIONS
Luke snapped his eyes shut, already prepared for his fate when suddenly, the room went completely silent. The sounds of Adam’s heavy breathing and loud roaring suddenly ceased. The whirring sound of the one lonely fan embedded in the ceiling suddenly disappeared. Luke cracked one of his eyes open to find out what was going on. Two seconds later, both his eyes flew open and his mouth dropped in shock when he saw Adam completely frozen in mid air. “What the hell…”He slowly got off the chair and walked round the frozen man in a small circle, his heart pounding wildly within his chest. Adam’s eyes were wide open and his expression was stiff with anger. The knife he’d planned on using to finish Luke off hung by the tip of his fingers. It was evident that he’d been affected by some sort of voodoo power.Luke was still considering the situation when the sharp sounds of applause pierced the air. Shocked, he turned in the direction of the sound and saw Mason walking out of the shadows wit
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 161 — THE CONFERENCE ROOM
Luke paused for a few seconds, his brain whirling with shock.“How’s that even possible? How come my powers only manifested now?”Mason nodded.“I’ll tell you why. When Malcolm and his army revolted, they were already pre-informed, all of us were informed actually, that a chosen one will be born and he will lead and win the war against the opposition. We were all given a sign — on the night of your birth, a thunderstorm would rage throughout the night and well into half of the next day.Prior to your birth, the ever rainy city of London had experienced a drought for years. Not a drought per se, but it had been ages since we had a proper thunderstorm.I remember the night you were born like it was yesterday. It was a very dangerous time for Rydlings all over the world because the prophecy clearly stated that if a follower of Malcolm succeeded in killing the chosen one at birth, the Rydling clan would automatically be wiped out. Forever.”Luke’s mouth dropped open.“So every single Rydl
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 162 – MORE BAD NEWS
“Sir, the allegations and news reports are getting worse. Most of the stations we paid to keep the drug scam undercover have released more news with the claim that an anonymous source offered them a higher amount. What’s going to happen now? We have absolutely no control over the media at the moment.”Luke refused to let the worry that currently ate at his heart show. It was ten hours since his meeting with the Colton brothers and the entire world seemed to be working against him.He folded his fingers into fists and leaned his head against the cool glass of his floor-to-ceiling windows.“What are they saying now?”He heard Mirabel fumble with her iPad. It was after work hours but she’d volunteered to stay back with him and the PR team to help salvage as much as Luke’s and the company’s reputation as they could.So far, Luke could say that they hadn’t made any real progress.“Well… are you sure you want to listen to this, sir? Most of them are pretty depressing. I don’t think it’s adv

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
