Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SIXTY FIVE – MORE DRAMA
Nina watched, feeling downcast and useless as Fiona sashayed to the door to welcome the ruling council with a big smile. Both men took one look at her gorgeous face and their stiff expressions morphed into huge smiles. The woman, however, did not smile even one bit.“Luke.” Yvette, the leader of the council called, “We’re ready for the tour and we do not have a lot of time.”Luke snapped out of his daze and hurried over to lead Yvette and her entourage into the room. “Welcome. This is where the business conference will be hosted.”The men who flanked Yvette looked about the impressive hall, their eyes widening in pleasant surprise. Yvette, her face still as hard as stone, scribbled something on her notepad once in a while as she walked deeper into the big space, inspecting the chairs, tables and the technological equipment on stage.Luke gave the men a tour of the hall as Yvette wandered off to check out the place on her own.“The tables are made of quality German oak. The padding o
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SIXTY SIX – THE BEGINNING OF DOOM
Luke was sure he’d never driven so fast in his entire life. After the former event centre had been burnt down and he probably owed Fiona God-knows-what for setting up this new one, he couldn’t afford for anything else to go wrong.The conference was in three days. If anything else went south, it might not hold at all.Rage shot through his bloodstream as he drove into the underground garage of Antoine’s hotel for the second time that day. Luke switched off the engine and just sat there for a few seconds, his gut simmering in anger at the reminder that someone he’d thought was a close, dear friend was actually his worst enemy.“I will destroy you, Andrei Konstantin.” He said to the silent car. “I will burn you to the fucking ground.”Three minutes later, Luke was walking into the gleaming restaurant of the five-star hotel where Antoine currently lodged, a million thoughts swirling in his mind, when someone fully dressed in black bumped into him.A soft curse slipped past his lips and
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SIXTY SEVEN – DAY OF THE CONFERENCE
CONFERENCE DAY.The day of the conference was finally here and Luke was a nervous wreck. He hadn’t slept at all the previous night. He was up throughout, making sure that all the finishing touches were added to the hotel rooms and the event centre to ensure everything will be perfect for the billionaire businessmen who were arriving from all over the world. Some of the business men had already arrived the previous night and so far, there were no complaints. Unable to sleep because of the threatening message he’d gotten three days ago, Luke woke up by three AM and drove to the event centre to give it one final onceover.When Luke arrived, he was surprised to see that all the lights were turned on inside. Suspicious because the security guard had not informed him that anyone was in there, he snuck up to the main entrance to find that the door was already wide open.His pulse pounding wildly, he looked around for anything to use as a weapon. His eyes caught a broken steel pipe in the
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SIXTY EIGHT – KNOW YOUR PLACE
All too soon, ten AM rolled in and it was already time to kickstart the conference. After making sure that all the security guards and other personnel were in their proper positions, Luke assumed his place at the door in preparation to welcome all his esteemed guests.Five minutes to the door-opening ceremony when the hall would be properly unveiled and opened to all the guests, Fiona came over and stood beside Luke, her lips pulled in a wide smile.Luke, however, was not in the mood for her shenanigans today.“What the hell are you doing here, Fiona?” He asked, annoyance clearly written on his features.Fiona’s smile did not falter.“What do you mean? I’m here to welcome the guests by your side, of course. You obviously need a woman by your side for this one and Yvette thinks I’m the best woman for the job.”Luke stared at her for a moment, anger and retribution boiling deep within him. He wanted to snap at her but a devious plan crawled into his brain and he held himself just in tim
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SIXTY NINE – TROUBLE IN PARADISE
Finally, the doors were opened and all the guests were ushered in with a handshake or a pat on the back, depending on who it was.From the expensive, luxury cars parked in the garage to the custom made Armani suits and blinking diamond studded Rolexes, one could tell that this was a gathering of the extremely wealthy.Everything and everyone screamed wealth and class.Luke and Nina got to know a bit of what to expect from the business men from most of their behaviours. While some were warm and kind, others were cold and stiff. Luke’s guts twisted at the thought that Antoine was right. Not everyone liked it that the business conference was being hosted by one of the freshest faces in the industry. To some of the men here, Luke’s age and achievements was an insult to them.Finally, the last guest walked into the hall. Luke turned to greet him as expected and froze when he saw who it was.Often called the tech demon of the business world, Chinese businessman, Mùchén Bowen, was one of th
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SEVENTY — GOOD NEWS
Luke stared at Nina for a split second, unable to believe his ears.“Wh-what?” He asked, his voice dripping with disbelief.The entire hall fell silent as everyone stared on, shock written all over their faces.“Luke? Any problems?” His grandfather asked as he made his way to the stage.Luke turned to him immediately and shook his head.“No, grandpa. None at all.” He said quickly. “We’ve just encountered a tiny glitch in the system controls of the car, our engineers are currently dealing with it.”Luke’s grandfather gave him a sceptical look.“Are you sure? You don’t seem fine, Luke. Talk to me.”Just then, one of the engineers climbed atop the stage and called out to him.“Sir, we’ve found the car. We’ve also found the fingerprints of the person who took it.”
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SEVENTY ONE – BAD NEWS
“What did you say?” Luke asked in disbelief.“The car was found and has been returned to its position, your lordship. Our engineers have checked it and nothing seems to be wrong.”“Is this some kind of sick joke? What the hell is going on here?”The engineer shook his head.“Yes, sir. I actually do believe someone is trying to play games.”“Where were the guards when the car was taken? Where was it found?”“Er… Luke?” Nina called, her lips pulled in an uneasy smile.“Yes?”“You’re still on stage.”Appalled, Luke turned to see nearly half of the audience looking at him like he’d gone psycho. His ears heated in embarrassment but he was saved when the MC climbed atop the stage and said;“Your lordship, you’ve got barely fifteen minutes to showcase your invention. The judges are waiting.”That statement immediately propelled Luke into action.“Yes, yes, of course.” He regained control of the microphone and addressed the crowd.“I’m deeply sorry that you all had to witness that but we see
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir SEVENTY TWO — EXPOSING A CHEAT
Luke was on the very edge of losing his mind. This morning had started off perfectly. Now in the space of a few hours, his car was stolen, returned and the controls were no longer working?“Mr. Luke George, what, pray tell, is the delay up there?” One of the judges asked.Completely oblivious of how to handle the situation but still struggling to keep his cool, Luke turned to the panel of judges;“I sincerely apologise for the delay, ladies and gentlemen.”“This is the third time you’re apologising for a delay, Mr. Luke.” The first judge sneered. “If you’re not ready for the competition, I suggest you come back next year.”Appalled, Luke turned towards his engineers who equally looked helpless.“What the fuck did you say is going on here?”“Sir, none of the controls are working. The only way we can demonstrate the Super Mobile’s strengths is if those controls are working. So far, all of them seemed to be broken when the car was found.”Luke shut his eyes for a few seconds, his shoulde

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
