Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir TWENTY FIVE – THE EXCHANGE
Luke watched closely as the trackers, the size of a grain of rice, were planted into the bag.“How does it work?” He inquired.The deputy was happy to explain.“The trackers are wirelessly connected to our central computer right here. Not only does it tell us where the money goes, but it’s also fitted with a tiny camera that even though isn’t wide ranged, helps us with hints on what the environment where the kidnappers are operating from might look like.”Luke was awestruck.“Cool stuff.”“Thank you. Oh, and Mr. Luke?”“Yes?”“Have you perhaps received another video from the kidnappers? We need a drop off location for the money.”Shit. That was true.“No. No, I haven’t. Maybe they’ll send one later.”Luke paced the room nervously and tried to do some homework while they waited for some kind of message from the kidnappers. He tortured himself with countless images of Nina probably lying dead and broken somewhere. All that did was shoot up his blood pressure even more.Seconds ticked i
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir TWENTY SIX – BOMBS AND WEAPONS
Luke watched helplessly as the kidnappers drove away. Right there and then, he vowed to have his revenge. He slumped to the hard concrete floor, totally weak from all his wounds.The officers gave it a full minute before they swooped in to help him.“Call 911 immediately. I need an ambulance here ASAP. He’s losing blood.”Luke tried to explain that he was fine and it was Nina he was worried about, but of course, they refused to listen. If anything happened to him, Lord George would have all their heads.The ambulance finally arrived but he refused to get in.“I’m telling you, I feel fine. It’s just a few injuries. Nothing a bandage and some pain meds can’t fix.”“I’m sorry, sir, but we need to take you back to the hospital and run a full scan. It appears you were hit pretty badly. There could be chances of a concussion or even internal bleeding.” The EMT argued.After much persuasion, Luke finally allowed himself to be driven to the hospital with the officers following closely behind

TRENT CARMICHAEL’S OFFICE“Miss Emilia. It is an honour to have you here.”Emilia Gregory looked around, fear and suspicion rife in her mind as Trent Carmichael ushered her warmly into his office.She didn’t know why, but she did not trust this man. She did not trust any rich man aside from her boss. Period.“So, what will you have? We have juice, champagne…“Nothing for me, thank you. Uh…why am I here again?”Mr. Carmichael’s eyes gleamed maliciously. After Luke all but made him kiss his feet at his own bank yesterday, he’d had sleepless nights, thinking of his revenge.Trent knew that the George family harboured a secret. His first degree in Psychology made it easy to read into their stiff postures and worried glances and come to the conclusion that something was wrong.Something was going down…something big. And he wanted to know it all, who knows, maybe his revenge would stem from whatever big secret mission the George’s wanted to accomplish with twenty million dollars.So what di
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir TWENTY EIGHT – INSULTS AND WRONG ACCUSATIONS
For a moment, the entire museum was silent. Time froze and Luke froze with it, expecting to experience mind numbing pain but instead, feeling nothing.Dregs of sticky blood mixed with bits and pieces of human flesh slid down his face and arms. Before him, the kidnapper’s mouth hung open in shock, then he fell forward, narrowly missing Luke and Nina.Luke’s gaze snapped up in shock, and relief flooded his system when saw two more officers in the room, one pointing his gun at the exact spot where the currently lifeless kidnapper had been standing a few seconds ago.“You saved my life.” Luke whispered, his fingers still trembling slightly from shock.The officer shrugged as he watched his partner order the second kidnapper to drop his weapon.“I was just doing my job, sir:”Luke was having non of it.“No. What’s your name? You will be rewarded for this.“Name’s Micah, your lordship. Once again, it is my duty to protect you. I was merely doing my job.”After the deputy checked to ensure t
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir TWENTY NINE – HOW IT HAPPENED
“Are you trying to tell me, deputy, that a heavily guarded criminal simply broke from his cuffs and killed a bunch of detectives? Do you realise how stupid that sounds?” Luke asked through gritted teeth.The deputy locked his jaw.“Information reaching me has it that they stopped for a restroom break and the kidnapper faked a seizure. They had to free him so he didn’t end up hurting himself with the sharp edges of the handcuffs. Before they realised it was all staged, he’d already gone for Marshall, the officer closest to him.He shot Marshall point blank in the head with his gun. Connor tried to step in but he was shot as well. He died on his way to the hospital.”Luke could not believe his ears.“And the criminal? Where is he?”After a silent beat, the deputy said.“He shot himself. He’s dead.”“Fuck!” Luke exclaimed, pacing to the other end of the room. Behind him, Nina’s mother gasped in pure horror.A few seconds later, Luke felt someone grab his shirt from behind.“Are you a cri
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir THIRTY – BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS
“Excuse me?” Mrs Washington asked the doctor, her mouth hanging open in shock. The doctor speared her with a cold, stony stare.“I said that you should please vacate that seat. His lordship cannot be left standing while you’re seated.”“Who exactly is this ‘his lordship’ you’re talking about?” She asked slowly.The doctor motioned behind her.“You just walked past him.”Nina’s mother turned to survey the area. The only two people standing there were Luke and the deputy. None of them looked like they had any royal titles to their names.“All I see is the officer and that good for nothing Luke. I think you must be mistaken.” She sneered.The doctor’s eyes flashed with annoyance.“No, Ms. I believe you’re the mistaken one here. How dare you address his lordship as good for nothing?”Just then, Mr. Washington walked in and his wife rose.“Can you imagine what the doctor just said? “ she asked, her lips curled in a sneer.“What is it, honey?” “According to him, Luke Bradford over there ha
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir THIRTY ONE – CHALLENGING HIS LORDSHIP
The deputy finally convinced Luke to go home and have a shower. All the way home, Luke thought of ways in which he would break the news of Nina’s assault to her parents, but he came up with nothing. Absolutely nothing.The Washingtons were big time snobs. If they found out that their daughter had been hurt in any way, Lord or not, Luke was going to bear the heat for it…and so would his grandfather.Luke did not want anything that would link his grandfather to any sort of scandal, meaning he’d have to keep his mouth shut. At Least until he came up with a good plan on how to approach the Washingtons.Just before he left the hospital, he’d gotten news that Nina was awake. He’d rushed down to see her but her parents had already beaten him to it.The Washingtons kept the doors to Nina’s room firmly closed, saying without words that no one else was welcome…especially him.The next morning, showered, dressed and feeling slightly better after two hours of uneasy sleep, Luke finally made his w
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir THIRTY TWO – ACCOMPLICES
Luke stood in Kayla Andrew’s house fiddling the bracelet, his nerves all but ready to explode with rage.She finally stepped into her living room, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw him.“Luke? What are you doing here?”Luke stared at her for a moment, his face hard and unsmiling.“Do you have a minute? I’d like us to discuss a few things.”Her eyes narrowed in confusion but she hid it really well.“Oh, please sit.” Her gaze clouded with concern. “Is this about Nina? Is she okay?”Luke paused for a bit, unsure on how to broach the subject.“Nina’s awake now. The doctor proclaimed her stable yesterday.”She brightened immediately.“Oh, that’s great. So…what did you want to talk about?”Luke fixed her with a thoughtful stare.“Kayla, when the police questioned you concerning the night you and Nina were kidnapped, are you sure you told them everything you knew?”Kayla shifted uncomfortably in her seat. “Yes. I’m sure I did. Is there any problem?”“Think carefully, Kayla. Are you

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
