Rise To Riches: The Rejected Son-in-law's Revenge chapter 92
Nathan's POVOn his way to the Siesta Center, Nathan continued replaying the footage of David's press conference, hoping to pull something that could actually give him a hint of what was going on out of it. The press conference seemed planned and practiced, as if David had prepared for it before the images appeared in the media.All the more reason for him to speak to David.He groaned and looked up as the vehicle parked in front of the siesta center. Nathan climbed out of the car and entered the building.He wasn't sure where David Lakewood was in the building, so he decided to visit their conference center where they held the press conference. The press conference ended minutes ago, and he doubts anyone was still present, but verifying was worth the effort.After entering the empty hall, he mumbled, "David isn't here."Where the hell was the man? he wondered. He took out his phone and contacted David, but as usual, the call went unanswered. Nathan wondered why the man was still ign

Nathan's POVNathan was certain that by the time they arrived at Angle 135th, Vivian would have noticed him staring at her and probably scolded him for that. If he had been staring at someone else that way, they would have probably called the police on him, because it was suspicious.It was a horrible decision for him to let her ride in the same car with him because he couldn't take his eyes off her. He wasn't into her, far from it. He just couldn't believe that they were both in the same car and she was right next to him.He would have revealed his identity, except that it would ruin things for not just him, but the Hayes family, Scott especially.He moved his glance to her and stared until she turned to look at him. Their eyes locked for a brief moment, but he quickly moved his face away, glancing outside the car at the surroundings.The car ride was peaceful but increasingly tensed. He crossed his legs and unbuckled his seatbelt, feeling restless. Nathan needed to focus on the ta

Nathan's POVShe blinked and eventually nodded. “ Yeah. I got it. You two promised to meet when you grew up,” she muttered, shaking her head and smiling fondly.Nathan's eyes widened. What?! He didn't recall any of that. Hell, he had little to no memories of when he was still a little boy.He couldn't recall having any interaction with Nathaniel Hayes when he was younger. And then they had promised to meet? He made a mental note to question Scott about it. Surely if Nathaniel Hayes had met a new friend, he would have told his brother about his new friend. He was confident Nathaniel would have told Scott about the little kid he met at the shelter.Vivian smiled. "Strange huh?... Lucas liked it when you handed him books though He tried to act like he hated books, but his face always lit up whenever you gave him one," she recalled, shaking her head.Books? Hold on! He thought as realization dawned upon him. Was the child in his memory who gave him the book, Nathaniel Hayes? Though he c

Nathan's POVNathan sighed, scratching his temple and resting his elbow on the bar counter. "David, you were expecting this and had prepared for it. I'd like to know how you knew." He muttered. "What the hell is going on?" He asked.David shook his head. "Nothing. Someone intended to slander my name and character. That's all; this is common in the corporate sector." He explained.Nathan scoffed. It's only common when you allow it, he thought. No one wakes up in the middle of the night and just decided to slander someone's reputation without an ulterior motive.He sighed, "But it's not. Who is it?" Nathan asked in a serious tone, leaving no space for debate.David shook his head. "No one. Let it go. I have provided you with the signed contract. The company is now yours, and my controversy will not impact the stock or business. I apologize for the situation, but it is unavoidable." He murmured.Nathan scoffed. If David believes he traveled all the way to a club to hear a simple apology

Nathan’s POV “The reporters are all here.” Amber murmured to Nathan as he wrote another note on his tablet. He didn’t know what Amber was taking note of, but his assistant looked interested in what he was doing. He looked out the car window and saw numerous broadcasting station vans pulling up behind him and even those who had gotten there before him. They were too much. He sighed. “Is everyone here? What about Scott?” he said. Amber nodded, still typing into his iPad. “Scott is here. He has already arrived at the site with Samuel. They came together surprisingly..” he stated. Nathan nodded. Scott had left the company ahead of them to the Project site, so maybe Samuel had tagged along. His brother still had a friendly relationship with Samuel, unlike him. They were at Project 100’s building site to officially launch the project after all the hurdles that they had gone through. He knew that some of the stakeholders and board members who would show up at the site that day were not

Nathan sighed. Finally, it was time. He ignored what the announcer was saying, and before Amber could stop him, he stood up and strolled over to the podium, where someone was already waiting with a shovel and a pan of mixed concrete.The announcer handed him the podium and moved away so that Nathan was in the center; the man of the moment. Scott had told him ahead of time that he would give a speech and that he should prepare one; which he was going to do briefly.Before picking up the damn shovel, scoop a small amount of mixed cement and drop it on the ground. He could see Scott looking at him from where he stood.He cleared his throat. “Hello, everyone. It gives me great pleasure to once again invite you to this magnificent, historical occasion.” He paused to look at his ipad, “I don’t want to take much of your time because a lot has been said about this project…”. He continued.“Before I officially launch Project 100, I’m pleased to announce that Hayes Holdings has acquired Sol

Myla’s POVMyla strolled down the lonely hallway, staring ahead of him. As he walked, he could hear the sound of his footfalls, which were louder than they should have been.It sent a sense of dread to his being but he continued down the lonely path. The hallway was dimly lit and he was grateful that at least it wasn’t dark.When he got to the door, he stopped and looked at his watch and realized it was after midnight, and he should have been in bed by now, especially since his father was traveling into the nation that morning.He had been pulled out of bed by his cousin Reagan who wanted to know how things were going. Besides, nighttime was the only time he had to come check on them.He sighed and slid the door open, entering the dimly lit room. One thing that always told him that someone was actually in the room was the sound of the monitors. He noticed the figure standing beside the bed and approached them. He nodded at the man before shifting his gaze to the individual lying down

Myla's POVLeslie was the most intelligent person on the planet, especially when it came to searching for something. Leslie was going to pursue anything suspicious until he found out what it was and he paid no respect to whoever. Leslie was their big brother and he really didn’t want Leslie getting involved in this.Hiding this from Leslie had not been a wise decision actually, especially knowing that he was bound to report this case rather than hide it, but Myla had not intended for anyone to find out, including Reagan;Reagan had found out by a mistake and he had to tell the man everything.Myla had been hoping on the fact that the situation was not a permanent one but that everyone would return back to their rightful bodies after a while, but it was taking longer than necessary.He chewed his lip and said, “Telling Leslie would mean telling the entire family. You know what happens when they find out what’s going on.” He said it in an uneasy tone.He didn’t mean that Leslie had a big

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

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
