Rise To Riches: The Rejected Son-in-law's Revenge Chapter 52
Nathan's POVNathan awoke to the faint sound of music emanating from someplace in the Hayes mansion. He gently climbed out of bed and entered his bathroom to wash up. He switched on the tap and allowed the water to rush out first before he splashed chilly water on his face, which effectively woke him up and removed any trace of sleep from his eyes.He had gone to bed late the night before due to the numerous amount of documents he needed to review before the following day. Nathan had made it a policy of his never to bring work back home, but lately, in order to meet up with his demanding schedule, he had to break that policy.Nothing had prepared him for this position, and he was grateful that he was still holding on and pushing through. He stared at his reflection on the mirror before nodding slightly as he switched off the running water and dried his face with a towel. When he was satisfied with his reflection in the mirror, he nodded again and left the restroom.The sound of mu

Nathan's POVNathan blinks in surprise. Was Detective Hayden there at their house?Why would Detective Hayden come over to their house to see them? he wondered. If the man wished to see them about the case, he could simply summon them to the police station, which was the normal protocol, as he had done with Scott a few weeks prior."Where is he?" he questioned, his voice low."Still outside the gate," the staff informed him.He nodded slowly. "Let him in, and I'll meet with him in the study." He informed her, watching her go away. He felt a little bit tensed about the detective's visit and even though he fully didn't know the reason why the man was there, he had a little idea that it was about the case.Then why coming to the house, he wondered.If the detective was here, he would want to talk to Scott as well. He turned to return to Scott's room to alert him of the guest when Scott came out of the room, fully dressed for the office.He raised his brow at Scott's new all-black clothin

Nathan's POVAfter a while, Nathan noticed a figure emerge from the opposite end, proceed up the truck, past the car with the recorder, and climb inside the passenger side.He could recognize that figure anywhere. It was Bethany. "Shit," he thought.He narrowed his eyes to see inside the truck but couldn't make out much; only then did he saw her passing a large envelope to another person in the truck; probably the driver, before stepping out of the truck and exiting around the back.Nathan blinked, trying to understand what he'd just seen. It felt like he was watching a movie. The same woman who was living with them somehow knew about their accident even before it happened.Hayden spared him the embarrassment of asking the obvious question as Nathan gave the phone back to the man." It wasn't easy, but our officers were able to trace the truck to the parking lot after it left the truck company. True to the Manager's words, the truck was not assigned to any driver that night and shoul

Scott's POV"Can you change my schedule for today? Reschedule everything at another date. Tomorrow or next, I don't care." Scott murmured as he walked into the office, Helen following closely behind him.He had dragged himself to the office that morning even though he had no intentions of working or sitting in a meeting.He couldn't see Helen's frown, but he knew he'd see it if he turned around to look at her. He didn't blame her; it wasn't everyday that he came to the office not willing to work.First, he had come to work late, and now he was rescheduling his meetings for the day. It was obvious that something was wrong.Helen cleared her throat. "Um, Scott. You have a lot of important meetings today, which I don't think I can postpone especially at the last minute." She responded.He sighed and moved to seat behind his desk. He took up his iPad and opened the file containing his daily schedule that Helen had sent to him.He quietly scrolled through the file, absorbing the informatio

Scott's POVScott raised his brow. He had inquired about Amber because he intended to obtain certain documents from the guy, but perhaps this was an opportunity for him to divert his attention elsewhere.Because at the moment, he needed to focus on something else that wasn't Bethany.He grabbed his phone and quickly sent a text to Nathan, asking where he was. He hoped that his brother was still in the company.Nathan responded quickly, as if he had been waiting for Scott's text. That's what worry did, it made you respond fast to the person you're concerned about." I'm at the office" Nathan texted.Scott grinned at Myla as he read the text Nathan had sent. For once since the day started, things were beginning to look bright for him."I'm surprised you haven't complained about the amount of work Amber has been doing lately..." he said, rising from his seat.Nathan has been coming in late at night that sometimes Scott wondered if he was actually working hard enough. He was glad that his

Nathan’s POVNathan couldn’t help it himself. Even though he had repeatedly cautioned himself mentally not to ask Scott whether he was okay, he just wasn’t able to stop himself from asking.It was as if something from within him resisted that very will not to ask and before he would even realized it, the words had already left his mouth.He sighed. Flicking his gaze briefly to look at Scott who was now resting in the car. He felt the urge to reach out to Scott to check but stopped himself when the car jerked.He could understand what his brother was going through. He had had the same experience in his past life as Lucas when Piper, his wife, had betrayed him and chosen another man in front of his eyes, forcing him to sign the divorce papers, as had his father-in-law, Elton Ross. Who had given the order to kill him.So he had an idea of how Scott was feeling at the moment and was at lost on how to console him.He gave Scott one last look before turning away to look at his iPad.

Nathan's POVThey all boarded the VIP elevator, which astonished him because Hayes Holdings did not have one. He made a mental note to ask about it later as the elevator ascended to the top floor, taking them to the CEO’s office. Three more people were standing there when the elevator doors opened, and they walked out.David most likely wanted to introduce him to some important people in the company, and they were probably there to be part of the meeting too.He took note of the lady among them in the blue gown and raised an eyebrow when he recognized her right away. He wondered what Vivian was up to with the Solace enterprise as it had been a long time since he last saw her. He knew she had a great future and would make a name for herself. If she worked at Solace Enterprises, it implied that life had benefited her and been good to her.She definitely wouldn’t know him now because he was wearing another man’s face instead of his real face, which she was very familiar with; Th

Nathan’s POVIt’s been five days since Detective Hayden had informed them about the unfortunate news that Bethany was involved in the break-in that occurred in his room, as well as the crash on the night of the gala.Scott had purposefully distanced himself from everyone for five days, including Nathan and as much as he didn’t want to disturb Scott processing his feelings, he was still worried.At first, he assumed that his brother was being dramatic and would calm down the next day, but Scott had yet to calm down. Instead, he distanced himself from everyone.Nathan wanted to give Scott space to sort out his feelings, but he also understood it was unhealthy for Scott to dwell on such feelings.He had been thinking about how to get Scott to talk to him since he got up that morning, until an idea had popped up in his head.He promptly took out his phone and dialed Amber number. He didn’t have to wait long for Amber to respond, the guy answered after two rings.“It is the weekend,

Lucas's POVLucas heard familiar voices all around him, but his brain couldn't figure out who was speaking. They had tried to be as quiet as they possibly could, but was failing miserably.He tried to open his eyes, but they seemed to have a mind of their own and were taking their sweet time to do so.His interest piqued as he overheard someone speak. "He's awake! His eyes are shaking. Shouldn't we call the doctor…"Who's awake? Lucas thought. It had to be him that they were referring to. He was lying down on a warm bed too.He attempted to move his body, and while it was impossible at first since his body felt heavy like a log of wood, he was able to finally shift his hand.The folks in the room were conversing quicker and moving around, judging by their heavy footfall. He was now curious about what was going on around him.Lucas tried again to open his eyes, and this time he was successful, but he had to close them again, almost immediately, when blinding light entered his eyes."C'

Nathan's POVNathan shifted his sitting position so that he was half lying down on the plush couch as he watched Elton Ross being carried out of the court and down the stairs.The reporters waiting for an interview outside the court rushed towards him and tried to get near the man despite the officers holding Elton on both sides attempting to stop them."What can you say about the final verdict?!" Someone shouted, prompting more questions from other reporters." Did you plead guilty or not guilty! Are you responsible for the death of your son in-law?!"" What do you have to say about your daughter's murder!"Nathan sighed. Shaking his head. Elton Ross had this coming for him for a very long time. He watched the man lower his head in shame. He rolled his eyes and switched to another channel, but they were still reporting the same story about billionaire CEO, Elton Ross ordering the murder of his son-in-law, Lucas, and how he had pleaded guilty to the other four counts laid against him

Elton's POVTo others, Piper was just another person who succumbed to the cruel grasp of death. The notion of being responsible for his daughter's death occurred to Elton, but he took a deep breath and buried it.'Now was not the time to deal with trivial matters, Elton'. He reminded himself mentally."Thank you, doctor. How is she?" He asked, alluding to Margaret.The doctor exhaled and shook his head. "She's not well. Her body is frail, and she is deficient in some nutrients, which we are currently injecting into her. I assume she took your daughter's death the hard way," he stated.Elton sighed. "You might say that." He mumbled. He admitted that he should have taken her to the hospital sooner, but assumed she could handle the loss and grief on her own.Margaret has experienced loss before. She lost her parents at a young age. So this shouldn't have taken a toll on her especially when she wasn't close to Piper, but perhaps, the bond between mother and daughter was too hard to ignore

Chapter 147
Elton's POVElton Ross stood still, staring at the lifeless body in the ironically beautiful casket. He couldn't believe it had been almost two weeks since he received the news that shocked him to his core. His only daughter had been shot dead by none other than a henchman he had hired.The plan had been simple: shoot once to scare Nathaniel Hayes. But the plan, which had been simple, had grown so complex the moment the henchman had decided that killing Nathaniel Hayes instead would scare the man, and that had brought Elton the most regret.He could still see Piper's smile in his sleep, her smirk, and deep calculative frown, when things didn't go her way, which she had inherited from him. Her seductive stare as she was about to ensnare a man in her fingers.He always woke up dreaming about her and the dreams always ended with that disappointing stare from his daughter. He had killed her.How could he forget her nagging? She had gone to him a few days before her death to protest abou

Nathan's POVHayden laughed and said, "It's funny how you guys could do things that even the police force wouldn't think of." He said, nodding to August.August rolled his eyes but stayed silent. He had the sensation that the man moved mostly in the dark and kept hidden unless it was essential to reveal himself, which explained his location behind the door.Leslie scoffed. "If you want to survive in a large family like ours, you have to learn to do things on your own. After nearly three hours, they left in different directions. I have a feeling they might not even know the members," he remarked."They fucking wore masks inside the house and blindfolds inside the car while leaving. I was only able to catch a glimpse because the compound was surrounded by a huge wall…" August revealed from where he was half hidden."Give me a coordinate, and I'll get satellite footage of the building and its surroundings. Except, they are hidden underground." Chris murmured.While Chris was talking, Myl

Nathan's POVEveryone huddled together in the living room. Nathan was sitting on the couch, while Scott sat on the armrest, half leaning against him."How are you?" Hayden questioned him.Nathan frowned. He last saw the man months ago. If Hayden needed to notify them of something, he would always call, or Scott would go down to the station. This was the first time he had seen the detective in a long time, and the way that Hayden was acting gave him the impression that he had conclusive evidence and was only waiting for their agreement to proceed with his plans."I'm fine." He responded. "You were shot at, and Scott said you've been asleep for two days; don't you think it's best you get checked out at the hospital to be sure you're in great shape?" the police officer inquired.Nathan arched his brow; he hadn't considered it before, and now that detective Hayden had mentioned it, he wondered why he hadn't woke up in the hospital instead, especially given Scott's overprotective and cau

Nathan's POV“So, is this a visit or what?” he inquired, smiling. He didn’t want them to notice how tense he was. Too many Hayes in one house was enough for one person to notice something unusual about him and begin connecting the dots.It wouldn’t be long before they discovered that he wasn’t the real Nathaniel Hayes.Noah narrowed his eyes at him, then shifted his focus to his brother, Nolan. Nolan was the one who spoke first.“You were shot, Nathaniel. I didn’t expect you to forget that.” Nathan blinked. He remembered the experience vividly. He remembered nearly avoiding the gunshot because he had shifted slightly, but he didn’t see how this solved the question of why they were all there.August sighed and approached him, laying an arm over his shoulders. “Someone made the mistake of attempting to kill you, Nathaniel. You didn’t expect us to fold our hands and keep them out of it, right? And no,” he replied, shaking his head. “It became our business the moment someone pointed a

Nathan's POV“So what do we do if they are everywhere, dad?” the child said. The man stated, “We fight for what we have.”If the child was Nathaniel, and he had called the man dad, then it was clear that the man had to be Oleander Hayes, Nathaniel’s father. This was his first time hearing the man’s voice. Why did it have to be now? He wondered. Now that he felt Nathaniel’s consciousness gradually leaving him. He wasn’t sure if he was going to wake up as Nathaniel Hayes again or if he was going to return back to his body as Lucas.Nathan stepped up to the lamp, hoping it would give him an indication as to what was going on in the room. But when he looked closer, it had no switch. The lamp was turned on without a switch.Weird, he thought. How could a lamp be on without a control switch.“ Fight?” the child; Nathaniel asked. “ can’t we do something else, like run?” The question attracted Nathan’s attention. His first instinct when there was trouble had been to run, but Oleander had

Nathan’s POV The drive home was calm in the car, but the country was not silent that night. He was calm but his mind was running in circles, wondering what had just happened.One minute, he had been talking to Piper, the next, the gunshots went off and he was collapsing on the floor with Piper’s blood around him.He gazed down at his now blood stained sleeves and gasped in shock. He quickly pulled off his jacket and started unbuttoning his shirt when a hand stopped him.He tried to bat the had off, but the person held on strong. “ Let me help you Nathaniel!” Amber muttered.He sighed, calming down when he recognized Amber’s voice and allowed Amber to help him. Amber unbuttoned his shirt and shrugged it out of his body, dropping it together with the jacket on the front seat. They remained quiet after that.Nathan with his eyes closed, leaning on the seat and Amber making and answering calls. He didn’t feel his phone vibrate, so he assumed that Amber was the one with his phone and wa
