Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN – HUMILIATION
Luke returned to a very silent house at exactly nine thirty the next morning. He didn’t know why, but the moment he walked through his front door, he knew something was wrong. Something was horribly wrong.The first person he ran into was Mrs. Medley, his housekeeper. The moment she saw him, she lowered her gaze and bowed slightly.Odd, Luke thought.“Good morning, sir.”“Good morning, Mrs. Medley.”Luke couldn’t help but notice that instead of leaving, as was expected, the woman hovered in the background. She also looked really nervous.No longer able to stand her discomfiting behaviour, he turned and asked her.“Is something wrong, Mrs Medley? Is there something you’d like to talk about?”She stepped back, her eyes widening in surprise and guilt.“No. Of course not. Everything is absolutely fine. Lord George is waiting for you in the lounge.”Luke wanted to ask her why his grandfather was waiting for him but she’d already disappeared down the hall.Something was wrong. He could feel

“What exactly did you intend to do, Mrs. Carmichael?” Luke asked, stalking in her direction. “Did you honestly think you could turn my grandfather against me? Did you think he’ll reprimand me and take your side?”Mrs Carmichael edged backwards as Luke came forward, his eyes flashing with rage.“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Stay away from me.”Luke paused and stared at her through hooded eyes. He almost let it out that he knew she’d planned his kidnapping as a means of planting her daughter in the George mansion.He almost stomped to his grandfather’s room to inform him of his findings, but he forcefully held himself back. Everything will come out in due time. For now, he gave them a menacing glare.“Be rest assured that I know your games. I’m well versed with the twisted, evil minds of the Carmichaels. You both should better watch your backs.Oh, and if I find out that your family is responsible for the news that’s currently spreading in any way, I’ll make sure you pay
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

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
