Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY – BUSINESS DEALS
EARLIER THAT MORNING…Thirty minutes after the showdown with his grandfather and the Carmichaels at the lounge, Luke was dressed and ready to leave for work.He desperately wanted to see his grandfather before he left for the office but he’d already put the old man in a bad mood due to his cheating scandal so he decided to hold off until after work.Just as he was about to step out of the main door, he heard someone call his name.“Luke!”Immediate recognizing the voice, Luke turned and his heart swelled with joy when he saw his grandfather hobbling towards him. “Were you just about to leave without saying goodbye to me?”Luke was so choked with relief that he could barely speak. “I thought… I thought you were upset with me, grandpa.”Lord George waved his hand dismissively. “Of course I’m upset. That doesn’t mean you should leave without saying goodbye.”Luke smiled and nodded. “Thank you, grandpa.”“What exactly are you thanking me for? I came here to relay some very important n

Luke watched as the Minister exited his office, his mind still reeling from the sudden turn of events.He sank into his chair and looked up to the ceiling, already imagining all the horrible ways his grandfather would have expressed his disappointment if he hadn’t landed the deal.He was completely lost in thought when he sensed movements right in front him. He shot upwards immediately and managed to push Fiona away just in the nick of time, stopping her from sitting on his lap.“Ow, Luke!” She moaned as she tried to regain her balance. “You hurt me!”Luke rolled his eyes to the heavens. He could already feel his annoyance start to build.“You and I both know I didn’t push you that hard. And what the hell were you trying to do?”She pouted and folded her arms like a spoilt little brat.“I just wanted to sit on my husband’s lap. Am I wrong for wanting to do that?”He stared at her incredulously.“You are, Fiona. You’re very wrong. Just in case you’re not aware, there’s a strict no touc
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO – SHOCKED, NOT SHOCKED
Luke shot to his feet and paced his office with his cellphone clutched so tightly in his palm, it nearly cracked. “If you know who did it, spill the tea already, Detective. The suspense is killing me.”“Okay, sir. I resumed my investigation yesterday by going straight to the website which first carried the news. After a few hours of throwing my weight around and asking questions, I finally discovered that a website called: Entertainment Gists Weekly was the first to publish the story at exactly ten PM yesterday.I requested a meeting with its manager but he refused to meet me. I finally had to use my badge as leverage before he could grant me an interview. That interview was via conference call and just from looking at him, the man was already shaking in his boots.I could tell that he was scared, so I promised him protection. I assured him that once he gave me the perpetrator’s name, he’ll be under your special protection.Thirty minutes later, he finally caved and gave me what I w
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 123 – THE ATTACK
Luke froze for a moment, completely astounded as he listened to McGregor go on and on about Fiona and the Hemsworths.His already accelerating heartbeat pounded even faster and he clenched his fingers tightly by his side, trying to quell the urge to throw something across the room.“How the fuck was Humsworth released on bail?” He finally asked, already feeling murderous. “His trial is not over yet. Why was he released?”“I don’t know why or how he was released, sir, but I suspect that Fiona’s father had a hand in it. We’re all aware that he and Humsworth are very good friends. I think he meandered somehow and got him out.”Rage shot through Luke’s bloodstream like a missile.“Fuck!” He growled as he shoved his fingers through his hair.“There’s no fucking way that criminal was released after all the evidence we presented in court. I’m going to haul his arse back to jail myself.”McGregor paused. “How do you intend to do that, your lordship?”Luke finally pulled himself together and

Luke sank his fingers into his hair and pulled… hard.He couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. The possibility that it could even be true was even more alarming. “When David Humsworth was in prison, at least we were certain that she was working alone. Now, I’m not so sure.”Luke turned to McGregor.“What do you mean, detective?”“I mean that David Humsworth could be involved in all of this. Maybe he was the guy who tried to go after Nina today.”Luke shook his head and leaned against the windows.“I don’t think so. David Humsworth has a slim build. The guy from today had a bit of muscle. I could feel it when I grabbed him.”MCGregor shrugged and got to his feet.“I need to go now, your lordship. I’ll keep an eye on the Humsworth family like you asked.”Luke nodded.“Appoint one of your men to take up responsibility as Nina’s bodyguard until this blows over. I don’t want to take any chances.”***THE HUMSWORTHS MANSIONLater that day, Mr. Humsworth and his son were having an animated

David Humsworth was nervous. It was evident from his shaky fingers and the sweat that poured down his face in buckets, despite the fact that the AC currently blasted at full speed.Luke took one threatening step forward and noticed the panic in David’s cowardly eyes as he immediately skirted backwards.Luke paused and smirked. “What does that popular Bible portion say?” He pretended to think for a few seconds, then he snapped his fingers like he just remembered something vital.“Yes! The wicked runneth when no one pursueth. I came forward to give your father a handshake but you’re already running away in fear? Why the hell are you running if you did nothing wrong?”David squared his shoulders in false bravado and opened his mouth to speak but his father hurriedly cut in;“You have no business being here, Luke, and neither will you be getting any handshakes from me. Leave right now. And stay the hell away from my son.”Luke sank his hands into his pockets and regarded David over his

Luke returned to his office a few hours later. Still fuming, he picked up his phone and placed a call to detective McGregor.“I just confirmed my suspicions.” He said the moment the other man answered the call. “David Humsworth was the man in the alley earlier today.”MacGregor’s sharp intake of breath portrayed his shock pretty loud and clear.“What are you going to do now? Will you press charges?”“Of course I will.” Luke said immediately. “He claimed that he got his injuries from an accident that occurred with his bike but the injuries were clearly on parts of his body which I’d targeted at the alley earlier. I know it was him. I’m one hundred percent certain.”“Okay, sir. You’ll have to…”“I don’t have to do anything, detective.” Luke cut in impatiently. “I need you to get an arrest warrant and have that bastard locked up immediately. The longer he stays on the loose, the greater danger he poses to me and the people I love.”“That’s not how it works, sir.” McGregor stressed.Luke
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 127 – SHOPPING SPREE DRAMA
TWO WEEKS LATER…“The Humsworths and Fiona have been strangely silent for the past two weeks. No attacks, no counter attacks, no evil plots… I’m beginning to think something’s not right.”McGregor just stared as Luke paced from one end of his office to the other.“Shouldn’t this be good news? At least the past two weeks have been drama free.”Luke gave him an odd look.“Have you met the Humsworths? Silence from them doesn’t mean we’re free or safe. Infact, it means the exact opposite. They’re planning something horrible. I can feel it.”“Well, the officer I ordered to keep an eye on Fiona says she hasn’t gone anywhere suspicious for the past two weeks. She only goes from your house to the mall or to hang out with her friends. That’s all.”Luke nodded, trying to reassure himself. Maybe, just maybe, David had taken his threats to heart and decided to stay away. “Fine. I’ll give them the benefit of doubt for the last time.” He strolled back to his desk and took his seat. “So, how’s the
