Rise Of The Penniless Trillionaire Chapter 83
"Does he hit you?" Jason asked her firmly. She trembled at the sound of his voice but she did not say anything. He could not believe it. They looked so much in love for him to be hitting her. He remembered Caleb saying that Lucas had a history of abuse in his past relationship when he was doing his scrutiny check. He had not been so sure because the girl was tagged as a desperate person, who just wanted to make him look bad in the public eye. The case was never reopened after that period. "You know you can say something to me and I can help you, right?" He spoke calmly this time, as he thought that he was scaring her. "That's the problem here, Jason," she flared. "I don't need your help.""You are with a man who makes you his punching bag and you are ready to ensure?" He asked her, bewildered. She was silent for a while. "At least, my life is no longer complicated like it used to be when I was with you," she said. "Lucas loves me and that is all that matters."Jason wondered wha

Jason was still thinking of Beverly's quick move on him as he sat on the plane, heading back home. Never in his life did he think that he was going to refuse an advance that came to him. He still remembered how her lips felt against his, and how gentle she had been with him. She took his hand herself and placed it around her waist, making him touch her. But his mind was still at work even in that situation. There was a level of self-control that he possessed that was beyond words. He had disentangled himself from her immediately and looked into her lust-filled eyes. Nothing stopped him from placing her against the wall and pounding hard into her, but he did not think that it was right at all. "We are more than this, Berv," he said. "I don't understand," she replied, still feeling embarrassed that he did not seem interested. "We are more than all these people hiding to do things behind Lucas' back," he stated clearly. "But he is not here and he would never know about it," she

Beverly stepped into the house quietly, as she saw that it was already very late at night. She had only come home because she already promised Lucas that she was going to come back that day. He said he missed her, and she wondered if he just missed having his hands on her. Since he started hitting her, she has doubted a lot of things he said. Sometimes, she wondered if he was just simply possessed by some spirit or something. One minute, he was hitting her, and the next minute, he was crying profusely and asking for her forgiveness. There was a time when she threatened to leave, not minding the consequences. But he had emotionally blackmailed her with gifts and even went ahead to beg her parents to speak with her. Her parents were the most gullible ones. She was not surprised that they were on his side. She had always known that the only thing they wanted from her was a man who would settle down with her. It was what the church did to them. She was not the first in the church

Jason was still dishing out some instructions to his new assistant when he saw his phone ring. He looked at it and it was Beverly.He smiled, as he thought she did not want to speak to him. She had been ignoring him so much, and she thought that he was still offended by her.But when he picked up the phone and heard her cry for help, it alarmed him.He did not know what was wrong, but he knew that if she had called him, then she was in trouble.He soon connected the dots. Lucas had probably hit her again, and from the way she sounded, it was bad this time."Are you okay, Sir?" Anthony, his new assistant, asked him.

Jason could not believe his ears as Lucas spoke.Beverly had said that her son was not safe and he had taken it lightly. The worst part of it all was that he did not know the city so well.He looked back at Beverly, who was still asleep. She looked incapacitated and he did not think that she would be able to proffer any solution or even a clue about her condition.Anthony was already busy enough handling this situation for him, as well as juggling work activities.He picked up his phone and checked out the nearest police station in the district. He needed as much help as he could get.He soon located one and headed out after making sure th

As soon as he got out of the hospital building, Jason began to call the Chief frantically.He finally answered. Some noise in the background suggested that they were still at the crime scene."Can you send me an address?" Jason asked him."That would not be necessary," he replied. "You can just meet me at the station," the chief suggested."Was it so easy?" Jason asked, surprised that they were already heading to the station. All the while, he thought that Lucas was a hard nut to crack."You would not believe that it was not so hard," the chief said. "For someone who was intent on a kidnap, I expected him to do better."<

Jason let out a deep sigh as he sat down in his office. The previous week had been more than hectic for him, and all he wanted to do was sit in a place and gather his thoughts together. He knew that asking Beverly to marry him was a failed venture before he even did. However, he wanted it to be in the record that he had tried. It was the second time he was putting forth his proposal. He thought that if he graduated college, she might begin to see him like a man, but it was not happening. She still regarded him as her student and was overly conscious about the things she was doing with him, even things that were not so intense. In their last conversation, before he returned from the city, she had made it clear to him that she was focused on finding herself. It meant an automatic break from her relationship with Lucas, and also an automatic resignation from work. Jason thought that it was indeed what was best for her. She needed the time off to think and process the next phase of

"How did you learn to do that?" Jason asked as he looked at what age had just done. It was unbelievable, as he did not think that she was capable of pulling off something like that. "I work with accounting," she said curtly. All the while, he thought that she had not gone through college. "What company do you work for?" He asked her enthusiastically. She looked at him as though he had something on his face before she burst out laughing, leaving him more confused than ever. "I don't work for a company. I would need a college degree to do that," she finally answered. Jason was honestly surprised. "So who do you work for?" He insisted. "I am a volunteer at an NGO that looks out for abused mothers and children, so I run their numbers financially," she answered. "When they asked what they could do for me in return, I asked for them to send my elder brother to college," she continued. Jason did not know if she was human anymore. She was so selfless that he wondered if she had ever bo

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
