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
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 163 — A SHARED CONTRACT
The tension in the room ricocheted dangerously. Luke half rose from his chair, his entire body already vibrating with rage.“Mr. Hillary. The proposition was between both of us. What’s the point of bringing in a third party?”Hillary shot him a dark glare while Danny just sat there with a strange smirk on his face. “Sit down, Luke.” Luke was ready to go further but Hillary’s cold expression stopped him in his tracks and had him sinking into his seat once more.“Just in case I haven’t told you yet, I saw the news concerning your involvement with the whole drug scenario.”Luke tried to cut in but Hillary raised a hand, effectively cutting him off.“I saw the news, Luke. The story is everywhere. Now, my point is that in order to mitigate the damages and the public relations horror from that news, I came up with the idea of sharing the contract between you both. Fifty fifty.I’m sorry, Luke but you’ll have to choose between sharing the contract with Danny and completely stepping away fr
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 164 – THE TRUTH
From the slackened expression on Danny’s face, Luke could tell that he was shocked. He settled more comfortably into his seat and smirked. “You wanted this but you do not seem too happy at the thought of working with me, partner. What could be the problem?”Danny narrowed his eyes in annoyance.“Are you really going to accept this?”Luke shrugged. “Isn’t that what you wanted?” A pause. “Wait. Were you expecting me to back out?” He smiled coyly and picked up his glass of wine. “I’m sorry but that’s not happening. I understand that working with Hillary is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m willing to do anything in my power to keep that opportunity… even if it means working with you.”Luke could tell that both Hillary and Danny seemed very uncomfortable with his presence. Instead of lingering around, he drained his glass of wine and got to his feet, bowing slightly before saying;“I can tell that you both have a lot to catch up on. Please excuse me. I have other pressing matters to
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 165 – THE PAST AND THE FUTURE
“Are you being serious right now?” Luke whispered, his chest tightening with shock and anger. “How’s that even possible?”“How else? The Colton Brothers are well aware that you and the Carmichaels are not exactly buddies. They approached Mr. Carmichael because it was obvious he’d be the easiest to manipulate. The Carmichaels desperately want to see your downfall. They would do anything at all to make sure you fail.”Luke walked numbly to his desk and sank into the chair. “I know they hate me… but I thought Mr. Carmichael left all the plotting and scheming to his wife. I didn’t realize he was also actively involved in all of this.”He shook his head and refocused his attention on Mason.“How did he sponsor them?”“He paid for some of their equipment and advertisement deals. He also promotes their company with his associates. Their main aim is to beat your net profit. So far, they haven’t been able to succeed.”Luke rubbed a finger across his jaw, already imagining the numerous ways he
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 166 – THE GREAT REVELATION
Everyone shot to their feet, different levels of confusion written on their faces as McGregor burst into the room accompanied by two other officers. On a closer inspection, Luke realised that he had two bloodied scratches on his cheeks and his once pristine white shirt had dirt spots.“What the hell is going on here, McGregor? What is this?” Lord George was the first to speak up. Luke watched impatiently as the detective walked further into the room and dumped his briefcase on the table.“What happened is that my car was run off the road by a hit and run driver a few minutes ago.”Luke blinked in shock.“What? How?”McGregor paused.“Trust me, I do not have the answer to that question, but I’m sure the people who hired the driver do.”“What are you saying? Who hired the driver?” Lord George asked.McGregor focused his attention on Luke.“They’re right in this room, your lordships. I’m honestly wondering why they haven’t spoken up by now.”Stone cold silence instantly reigned in the
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 167 – GAME OF LIES
Danny and David looked like their most precious dog just died. David completely forgot about his brother, leaving him to groan alone on the ground in pain.“Five hundred million dollars?” He whispered. “How do you expect us to pay you so much money? We can’t afford that.”“David!” Danny interrupted in a warning tone. “Be careful what you say.”The signs of distress on David’s face burned brighter at that biting reprimand. He shot his brother a stiff, dark look.“I’m telling the truth, Danny. Don’t you think it’s high time you stopped your stupid games?”Luke watched the exchange with rapt attention and mounting confusion.“What games are you talking about?” He finally asked.“Don’t tell him anything.” Danny wheezed, giving his brother a cryptic look. “Remember that he’s not on our side. Don’t say anything.”David looked really indecisive. At that moment, Luke knew he’d be easy to manipulate.“Tell me the truth, David, and maybe I’ll be willing to help you. What games are you talking a
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 168 — THE PRESS CONFERENCE
The flashing lights of cameras and shouts from media men and women rent the air. Luke leaned against the leather seat of his Limousine and shut his eyes, wishing Nina was there to hold his hand and lead him through this. Unfortunately, she’d gone to visit her pregnant cousin and best friend at far away Birmingham and wasn’t able to make it.Today was the day of the press conference. The day Luke’s innocence will finally be announced before the entire world. The day everyone will realise they’d accused him wrongly. Today was the day. His driver finally came around and pulled his door open, exposing Luke to the shouts and screams of the journalists. The moment his Tom Fords touched the ground, cameras began to flash anew and everyone started speaking on top of one another.“Look this way, your lordship.”“What fashion brand are you wearing tonight, your lordship?”“Is it true that you’re here to confess to your crimes?”“Are you here to relinquish your office as the head of the Diamon

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
