Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 152
Daphne was giddy with excitement when Jason told her that they would be getting married the following week. She wanted a big wedding, one that would be the talk of the town for a pretty long time. But Jason was not cut out for all her shenanigans, so he stopped her immediately. "We are going to be doing a small wedding with just your family and mine in attendance," Jason said pointedly to her as he went to sit behind his study desk. "You seem to be forgetting who I am, Jason," Daphne said. "You are getting married to the daughter of the president, so more is expected of you. I deserve an elaborate wedding," she stated. "If you want an elaborate wedding, then you go out there and find yourself a man, or rather, go back to Daddy and ask him to find you a man," Jason said, already seething with anger. He hated her entitlement. "You and I know that you want this wedding better than I do," he added. She stood there for a while as she tapped her feet on the floor angrily. If she had the op

"It's not what you think, Daphne. Jasmine has been of immense help to me all these years, and even after I got out of jail," Jason tried to explain even though he did not care about what she thought of his relationship with Jasmine. "I don't care if you love her or not, and I am fully aware that you don't love me. But it's just a pity that we are already married and there is nothing that you can do about it," she moved closer to him. "I deserve a good life, and my child deserves a good life as well. Don't think for a moment that I would grant you the liberty of divorce because I am here to stay. I am your wife, and it is going to remain that way."She walked away once she was finished speaking. Jason did not know how to feel about her words. It sounded more like a threat than a warning to him. He could understand the extent of bitterness that she had to endure. She was indeed pained by what he had said to her in the bedroom. In the end, she had to look out for herself. If she was not

Klaus waited until he was sure that everyone was out of the meeting hall, including the president before he ushered Jason to a seat. Jason went ahead to sit down as fast as his suddenly heavy legs could carry him. There was no way that he was going to be comfortable around Klaus, especially since they were alone and he knew that they wanted to kill him. "I wanted to offer my condolences for the death of your father," Klaus began to Jason's surprise. "I am sorry that he died like that. He was such a great man with great potential. You can tell from the wealth that he left you, so you don't have to worry about anything in life."Jason wished that he could just tell Klaus to go fuck himself. The pretense was disgusting and there was no way that he was going to accommodate all of that comfortably. "So, what is the exact reason that you asked me to wait behind?" Jason asked in a bid to change the topic. Klaus broke into a smile. "I love that zeal of getting straight to business that I see

Jason woke up on the morning of the operation with an extreme level of nervousness. He had not been so nervous before in his life, as there was also a possibility that he could die in the course of the operation tonight. Klaus had sent the address the previous day just like he had promised that he would, and Laura had taken her time to secretly check out the address. He was still fidgeting when Laura walked in and Jason looked up at her. She did not look like she had slept a wink after their meeting the previous night. "Are you ready for today?" She asked him as she proceeded to his closet to pick out the perfect clothing for him. It was black denim pants, a black T-shirt, and a black leather jacket to go with it. The back face cap was the icing on the cake. "This will do," she said with a sigh of relief as she dumped the clothes on his bed. He looked at her and he noticed her nonchalance about the entire situation. "Why does it look like you are being too relaxed about tonight?" He

Jason took another look at the women and children in the cabin. They looked hungry and helpless. They were quiet, in such a gruesome manner. It was as though someone had forced them into silence. When he looked carefully, he discovered that two of the women were pregnant. Some of the children did not have any clothes on at all. It was obvious that they had been forcefully taken away by their loved ones. This then brought to his realization why kidnapping was suddenly on a high in the state. He also noticed some young girls seated on the far end, and wearing skimpy clothes. They looked at him seductively in a way that disgusted him. It was probably what they were trained to do. Laura had given him first Hank knowledge of how the shipment of humans worked. For a long time, he thought that the sale of humans had ended. But these were powerful men and they continued their operations underground, without bothering about getting caught. All their acts were heavily guarded. Jason thought of

"Tell me everything," Laura requested the moment he got into the house. She barely came down to the ground floor of the mansion but this time, she had even waited for him to get back. Part of the reason was that she was tensed that he might not make it alive. But she knew that at the end of the day, Klaus would not want to kill Jason so easily without ensuring that he took what he wanted, bit by bit of his inheritance away from him. "The video that I sent you should do most of the explaining," he said to her as he proceeded to the elevator. "I bet there is more information," Laura said enthusiastically. Jason had never seen anyone who was so needy for information as she was, but he loved that she was always on edge. He took his time and explained every single thing that had happened, and even played the recording of Christine, the lady who was with him on the dock. Thinking about it now, he wondered how an accomplice to such a heinous crime would answer a name like Christine. "Good t
Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 158
The moment the gun was pointed at Jason was the same moment Gustavo and all his men pointed their guns at Christine. Jason lifted his hands in surrender with an obvious dread in his eyes. "Turn around you idiot," Christine ordered Jason. He did so very slowly, not having any intention to provoke her further. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw that she was the one. "You thought that I was gone, right?" She asked him as she chuckled wryly. "I always knew there was something off about you the moment I set my eyes on you. You gave me more reason to suspect you when you requested food and clothes for the children. I intentionally made sure that you were gone before I headed back for the ship, hoping you would eventually come back. Right now, I cannot believe that I was right after all." "I think you should drop your weapon. These men would not hesitate to bore holes in you if they notice any movement from you," Jason said, his voice still shaking with trepidation. She laughed hyster

Jason headed for the location that Klaus had sent him, but not without sharing the same location with Gustavo, so he would be some kind of support in case anything went wrong. As he approached the place, he was beginning to notice that Klaus had officially sent him the invitation to his house, which was a mansion in the middle of a heavily secured thicket that had controlled animals loitering. He finally got to the mansion and was directed to Klaus' chambers. He knocked on the door and it opened up for him immediately. Just as he expected, Klaus was fuming with rage when he got into the chambers. He was surprised to also see Caleb and Fred there. The other members of the six had their faces on a screen, and it took Jason some seconds to realize that they were in a virtual meeting concerning what had gone wrong. "What went wrong with the order that you processed?" Klaus growled at Jason immediately, fuming with rage. Jason was unhinged as he already expected it. "I wish I knew what yo

On the day Daphne was discharged from the hospital, she decided that she wanted to go see her father in jail. Jason suggested against it, but she was not willing to comply. She had her reasons and when she persisted, he let her be. She took her child with her as well, and Jason's hands were tied as he knew that their relationship was stiff at the moment. There was no need to aggravate it.“At least allow me to come with you so that I can keep an eye on you and the baby,” she offered. “I want to do this on my own. I have my reasons,” she said to him. “And before you act stupid, don't ask any of your men to follow me,” she added before she got into the waiting car. She knew however that he would not just let her go like that without company. She could already see two cars following after her at a reasonable distance, but she did not mind. She needed the protection anyway.&nb

Jason waited until it was nightfall before he headed to the safehouse where Gustavo had kept Angelina. He wanted to be as discreet as possible, and Gustavo had been high on surveillance since Jason told him what they needed to do. When they got to the safehouse, another round of surveillance was done before the door of the car was opened for him to come down. He headed to the front door and headed to the stairs that led to the basement.Angelina was tied to a chair in the relatively empty and spacious basement, and it was a bit chilly, so she was asleep. He stood at a reasonable distance before her and stared at her for a while. It was almost unbelievable to him that she was at his mercy at this time. She was supposed to be the most powerful woman in the state, but she was crippled at his mercy.“Wake her up,” he finally ordered. A bucket of wat

The meeting that Klaus called for was one that Jason did not want to attend. It was as though there was something that he harbored within him, a kind of guilt that washed over him. However, he knew that if he did not attend, Klaus would be highly suspicious because he had a fallout with Angelina. One more seat was empty when he got to the venue. It was Angelina's seat, and the table was quiet, as Siman and Rasheed were not so much of the talkers. As expected, Klaus was unhappy, but this time, he was not pacing about like one without a purpose. He was just sitting quietly, as though he was in deep thought. Jason took his seat and stayed silent as well. He did not intend to break the silence that had ensued, so he just kept his cool. “I have not seen or heard from Angelina in four days,” Klaus began. “I have sent her a ton of messages, and I cannot get to her assistant as well.” Gustavo had made sure that there was a heavy massacre in the warehouse that day. He made sure that none of A

Jason woke up with a start and looked around him. A wave of relief overshadowed him as he discovered that he was in his bedroom. He looked to the side and saw that there was a drip bag attached to his hand. As he attempted to lift his hand, a sharp pain shot through his arm and his shoulder, forcing him to let out a loud groan and fall back on the bed. He soon began to recall what had happened the previous night, and all the events came rushing back at him. It made him panic as he did not see Daphne or the baby in the bedroom with him. He struggled to get up again and pulled away the drip on his hand. He stood up and attempted to walk out. He wobbled and landed on the floor, causing a loud noise. The door opened and Gustavo walked in to help him get back on the bed. Jason closed his eyes in exhaustion. “I decided to bring you home because I did not think that you would like the attention that staying in the hospital would cause you,” Gustavo began. “That's a very good decision,” Jaso

“First of all, I want you to start with the way you took Maxwell down,” she began, and Jason glanced at Daphne, who seemed to be listening keenly as well. She would be so disappointed. “Oh! She does not know?” Angelina asked. “Can you just stop?” Jason asked her. “So, the woman that you claim to love is not aware that you are the one that put her father in jail, and soiled her family reputation, right?” She continued. “I'm not going to say anything about that,” Jason sounded firm. He did not intend to spill, and he was not just making up his mind at the moment. He had decided not to spill anything since he left his house. He saw how desperate she was for his confession, and he wanted to use that to his advantage. “Before I say anything, I would like you to tell me what manner of business you run here,” he said as he leaned in. “My merchandise is none of your business,” she said to him. “Well, if you need my confession, then you have to explain what this business is all about because

Jason got into the car, took a deep breath, and took out his phone to place a call to Angelina. Even though she had sent someone to monitor him as he drove to the address, she still asked him to be on a video call the entire time, to ensure that no one was in the car with him. He was getting exhausted from her rules, but he had to comply because of his family. She had proof that she was with them, and he was the only one that could rescue them. Gustavo had thought up a brilliant plan, and things were already in place, giving Jason added confidence. He was not too sure that his plan would work out, but in the end, he blamed it on the nerves. He started the car and began to drive without taking one more look at the screen, where Angelina was watching him. “You are cute by the way,” she began when the tense silence had lasted for a while. “I have envisioned you in my bed a couple of times, not gonna lie,” she continued. Jason swallowed hard at this statement. He was already disgusted. A

Jason clicked on the speaker button on the phone so that everyone could hear what the caller was going to say. The line was silent for a while, and Jason thought that it was just a prank call. “Hello Jason,” a familiar voice finally came on the line. It did not take him long to figure out who was on the line. He could detect Angelina's voice in a crowd. It was too deep for a female voice. “I am guessing that by now, you are shaken with fright at the disappearance of your wife and daughter,” she said with some kind of amusement in her voice. Her audacity annoyed him so much. “Angelina, I swear, if anything happens to them, you are going to regret it,” Jason fired at her. Ben immediately signaled him not to say anything again, so that they would not provoke her. Jason did not seem to care at all. He was just angry. “I would not be making threats if I were you,” she said. “You have no idea where I am or where your wife and child are, so I would be quiet and cooperate if I were you,” she

Jason was confused about what to do next at the moment. He kept trying to call her as he dashed to the elevator that led to the penthouse they occupied in the mansion. He prayed that by some miracle, Daphne was upstairs and sleeping peacefully with their son. That would give him so much relief. But when he got there, the room was empty. He went ahead to look into the bathroom but there was no one there. His heart began to thump loudly as he rushed downstairs again. Gustavo was waiting for him when he came downstairs. “I can't find Daphne and the baby,” Jason blurted out in a worrisome voice before Gustavo could even ask him what was wrong. “I had two of my men follow her to the hospital. Let me try to call them,” Gustavo said as he took out his phone. He was so calm, as though he was very confident that there was nothing wrong with them. Gustavo called them over and over again but none of them answered. He began to get worried as well. “This is very unusual,” Gustavo muttered as he

Chapter 200
Jason stood up from bed very early, as he had a long day ahead of him. It had been three weeks since Jacob had been released from jail, and just like he had promised, he decided that he would give Jacob an orientation to the family business. Daphne was still very fast asleep when he was done dressing for work. He could not blame her at all. She had been awake for some time during the night to cater to a crying Benjamin. After the nurse left, it had been difficult for her to adjust to taking care of the baby alone. At some point, it was as though she was getting frustrated with the responsibility that she was saddled with and she would start crying. When he noticed that, he would usually offer her a helping hand so that she would not feel abandoned or frustrated. She appreciated his support. It showed in the way she embraced him or the way she kissed him. Jason walked up to the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead, causing her to stir in her sleep. “I'm off to work, baby. You know I
