Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 45
On the day of the engagement, Beverly did not feel like getting up from bed. She had been dreading the day that they would finally seal their engagement.The preparation process had been hectic. She did not think that it was supposed to take such an elaborate event just for a man to ask a woman to marry him. She had been at the center of every preparation. It was indeed stressful working for a billionaire, but she liked the professionalism that came with it. She and Jason had been working on their relationship, and it was an amazing experience. They were getting more acquainted with each other while keeping things professional. But even the blind could tell that something was going on between them. They were the only ones who had yet to admit it. She had come in very late last night and had collapsed into a stress nap, and it was already morning. These days, she finds herself needing more sleep, but her job is demanding. Her only consolation was the paycheck. It was indeed a h

If he had never set eyes on her before, Jason would have thought that Beverly had fallen from the sky. She was breathtaking. He had not put so much thought into the dress she had chosen, nor had he thought that it was going to be this perfect. She stood in the gallery and caught his attention while he was going to look up at Cecilia's face. The red dress clung perfectly to her hourglass frame, making her look exotic and innocent at the same time. She had a little bit of makeup on and let her long mane of hair down, so it glided gracefully down her back. The red lipstick that she had on was the star of the show. She was what

Caleb sat in the library as he surfed through the information he had on his laptop. He was still insistent on finding out who had been behind the sudden revelation that set the internet ablaze. It was all too strategic. If it was just the restaurant pictures, he would have let it go. But suddenly, there were pictures of him on and outside campus with Beverly. He knew that something was fishy. Someone nudged him at the back of his head, and he turned around to see Jason, who grabbed a seat and sat down beside him. "You were not in class today," Jason began. "What happened?" "I've been trying to finish up a project for the company," he lied. Jason looked at the screen of his laptop. It contained pictures of the scandal that happened months ago."These do not seem like company projects," Jason said as he scrolled through. "Okay," Caleb surrendered. "I still feel like this scandal was preplanned," he said. Jason sighed in exasperation."I thought we were over this," he said. "I'm

Alex took Jason indoors and held him down to his underpants and into the shower. At the same time, Caleb took his phone and headed to the living room, working as fast as he could to get all the information that he needed. He then went out, took Alex's suit by the pool, and returned it to him with the phone in it. Even though he was tempted to go through the details immediately, he had to make sure that Alex was gone first. Alex shot him a suspicious glance before he headed for the door to move out of the house."I see what you did there, " Alex said as he turned around. Caleb's heart began to thud. "You should not have pushed him in intentionally. He could have gotten hurt badly," he added, and Caleb let out a relieving sigh. Once Alex was out the door, Caleb took a seat by the kitchen counter and began to look through his tablet. There was nothing suspicious at first, but his recycle bin seemed so full from the past few months. Caleb decided that it was probably work informati

Jason settled down immediately as soon as he arrived at the office. They had a Thanksgiving break from college, but he seemed like the only student who was not having a break because of his work. He did not plan these things. They were suddenly the new span of his entire life, and he had accepted it as a good fate. Caleb had not been to work since the incident at his place, but he was not too bothered about that. He was more concerned about Beverly. Two weeks had passed, and she had still not come to work. He had tried calling her several times, but she would not answer his calls at all. Other times, her phone was switched off. He had not found time to go see her at her home because of the amount of work he had to do. He sent someone to watch her, and they confirmed that she was in good condition and was faring nicely. It left him wondering if he had done anything wrong. His mind trailed back to the events of the night that she had come to his place, just after the failed engag

Jason was still reminiscing about the events of the evening when he came home. He still had an hour before he met with his Nigerian investors, and he thought he would have a bath first. His dinner was already on the kitchen counter when he entered his apartment with Alex, but they were already too full from Beverly's house. As he entered the bedroom, he saw his father seated on the sofa in his bedroom. He was surprised at first, but his father smiled in a way that calmed him down. "I didn't know you were back," Jason began as he tore his suit from his body. "I see that you had some sweet love with your wife," he added

Once her alarm went off, Beverly got out of bed to get ready for work. It was safe to say that she had been anticipating Monday morning.She had contemplated if it was safe for her to return, and she thought it best.She needed the money to take care of herself and her brother. She had asked Sammy to stop working and focus on his studies, so she could take care of him like he had been doing.She was still not speaking to her parents, but she did not let it bother her one bit.She wanted to focus on her life and not be mindful of people who bore so much hatred for her.She was soon on her way to Jason's apartment. She had put so

Jason headed to the bed and lay on it, facing the ceiling, as Beverly watched him. As she approached him, he pulled the duvet over his face and turned around to the other side. His anger was bad to behold.He looked like he was going to break down at any point, and it melted her heart. She had promised herself that she would never harbor any form of affection towards him. But he had proven himself over the months that he was serious about her. After the scandal, she had not hoped to hear from him. But he had kept an eye out for her, gave her a house, and even gave her a job in an environment where she was supposed to be cautious. He had proven that he would be there for her no matter what happened. She walked towards the bed, took her time taking off her shoes, and joined him on the bed. Even though he felt the bed dip on the other side, he did not turn around. She moved to where he was and held him lightly from behind. He still did not budge, and it bothered her. Her eyes wi

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

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
