Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 15
Oliver pulled all the strings of the connections that he had. He had promised his beautiful daughter Sophia that he was going to fulfil her request. He wasn't going to fail. After all, was there not a benefit to it?But Oliver soon discovered that it was easier said than done. Despite calling in favors and using every connection he had, he was unable to get Tommy released from the airport detention center. The security were giving him an unusually hard time and refused to let him go without a thorough investigation. There seemed to be something fishy. Some hours later when Oliver wasn't able to turn up with a good result, Sophia called him again. "Hold on darling. There seems to be some problem." Oliver said to his daughter. He was already getting furious but he wasn't going to be furious with his daughter. Definitely not. "What's taking so long?" she grumbled over the phone. "Just get him out of there!""It's not that simple," Oliver replied in frustration. "They're being very

Oliver sat staring blankly ahead, his phone slipping from his limp fingers. The past few days had utterly drained him, leaving the once imposing man a hollow shell. Between the constant calls from his increasingly impatient daughter and the lawyers who could offer no solutions, Oliver felt like he was losing his mind. How had everything gone so wrong so quickly? None of it made sense to Oliver. In just one week his family's reputation had begun crumbling in the face of the public. First the drug charges against his son Tommy and now he had also failed to break him out of jail. Oliver suspected that someone was behind everything that was happening. It could have been the same person who planted drugs in Tommy's luggage to implicate him. Oliver reached his current status in the city by his hard work and dedication. He had also invested no little effort in making sure that he had a good grasp of things going on in the city, yet he wasn't able to do anything in face of such a situatio

Sophia and her mother made their way to the court. Sophia couldn't hide the anger that was simmering deep within her. She honestly hated the fact that Ethan was beginning to live a comfortable life. She knew that by this point he hated her already and if he one day became more successful, he might come back to take his revenge on her for what she had done to him. She wasn't bothered by his retaliation though, after all, her family could be considered invincible in the city of Geneva. No matter how powerful became, he would still be too weak and irrelevant to do anything to her family. "We're here..." The driver said and Sophia snapped out of her thoughts. She and her mother stepped out and entered the courtroom. There, she saw her father already waiting. Oliver had a bit of eye bags under his eyes but he still looked composed. He kept up a proper appearance and kept a confident stature. His son had been pushed around and the person trying to implicate him had given Oliver enough

Two days later. It was time for another court session on Tommy's case. As expected, Oliver, his wife and Sophia arrived in the courtroom. Sophia had a gloomy expression on her face and she looked like she was ready to bite anyone who moved close to her a tiny bit. This was because she had noticed that her father was yet to do anything about Ethan. Just before she came to the courtroom, she had seen another post on the internet about Ethan and him thriving in his new job. This was enough to ruin Sophia's day. At this point, Tommy's case took less precedent in her mind than the downfall of Ethan. "Hey dad!" She called out to Oliver as they took their seats. "Hmm? Sophia what is it?" Oliver asked with a dull voice. He was incomparably tired and exhausted. He had been trying his best to get another lawyer who would have a chance to help get his son out of jail. "Have you done anything about what I told you?" She asked with a frown. Oliver furrowed his brows. "What are you taking abo

"I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done to Ethan!" Maya swore under her breath. Her eyes piercing daggers at the Waltons. Maya Trump. She grew up in the city of Geneva and attended the same high school with Ethan. Being the shy girl that she was, she hadn't ever had the courage to walk up to Ethan and become close with him, even though she liked him very much. But she always had the goal and ambition to speak to him and become his friend. However, she couldn't do it. Her introverted nature and her shyness was the main cause of her hesitation. Before she knew it, highschool was over and Ethan had gone to college, she also had found her with to a different college and they didn't see each other for years. During the few years she spent at college, Maya found it hard to forget Ethan and instead she always had a longing feeling towards him in her heart. It was then that she discovered that she was in love with him. But Ethan was oblivious to her existence. He was dealin

Maya was filled with anger. It was clear what was happening; the judge was being careful of and partial to the Waltons. Maya had formerly investigated the case on her own to an extent. She knew that someone was trying to put Tommy in jail from the shadows but she didn't know the person. She had been very happy that someone unknown was trying to help Ethan. However, she couldn't meet with the person as she had no idea who they were. The only way to act on her own was to release the evidence that she had against Sophia and her family. Now that she had done that, the judge was trying to play favourites and save his own head. Maya gritted her teeth as she left the courtroom in frustration. Sophia glared at Maya as she walked out with hatred in her eyes. She was getting more annoyed because someone was trying to help Ethan. Oliver also took deep breaths to calm himself down. He had noticed that the judge was being careful not to offend him so he relaxed a bit.Meanwhile, Khalid saw an

Ethan stared at Maya absentmindedly. He had been repeatedly surprised by the pretty lady since he heard about her from Andrew that morning. As she came into his office, she had surprised him the more. He didn't even know if he was supposed to be angry or not. The fact that she knew that he was planning to take revenge on Sophia and her family was startling. 'Is she working for someone?' Ethan thought and his paranoia set in. He reflexively became a bit aggressive in his body language. As far as Ethan knew, someone could be spying on him too. Perhaps she was working for such a person and was now trying to get his attention so that she could blackmail him. Ethan looked at her face again. He realised that the faint smile on her face had a hidden ferocity behind the smile. When she had mentioned taking revenge on Sophia, her expression had become serious. Ethan shook his head in denial and came to a conclusion: 'She's also seeking revenge against the Waltons. Or at least, she wants

Maya didn't know what to think about Ethan's mysterious. Her legs suddenly felt very heavy and it didn't seem as though she was interested in walking away. It had been more than a couple of years, her heart should have been set at ease or at least her heart should have given up on Ethan. However, she found out today that Ethan still had that strong impression on her. 'Why am I still feeling this way?' She thought to herself in slight panic. Her heart was beating excitedly in her chest. "I definitely have to come back to him." She muttered to herself. "He needs my help." She stubbornly insisted. She had no idea how Ethan was planning to deal with the Waltons but she doubted that he'll be able to pull it off easily. It was right for her to be concerned after all, Ethan was someone who had been on the lower end of the food chain of the city while the Waltons were a high a lofty family that refined at the top with other families. The power that Mr Walton wielded in the city wasn't li

"Do you take me for a fool or something?" Tommy replied harshly."It's the same damn thing y'all said the last time. I'm rotting in jail for something I didn't even do this time!" Tommy shouted.One of the reasons that Tommy was so infuriated with his arrest was that he hadn't even actually tried to smuggle the drugs that they said he did.Tommy was very close to a thug in his behaviour and he was confident that if he had actually tried to smuggle the drugs they claimed he smuggled, he wouldn't have been caught so easily. He wasn't a rookie in that sort of thing."Relax Tommy...""Don't fucking tell me that!" Tommy raged. "Last time I saw y'all at the court trial, you said 'relax Tommy, everything is gonna be alright. We're gonna be getting you out of here soon...'"But I'm still fucking here and you are enjoying the life out there. You're all just selfish bastards!" Tommy ranted out in frustration.Sophia felt like her chest was being pierced with sharp daggers.She remembered that i

Bounty or ransom... Philip couldn't wrap his head around it.All he knew was that he was very angry. He had given Brick a simple job to abduct and extract information. The bastard was just too greedy."What are we going to do about this sir?" Philip's butler asked in a tone of worry.Philip looked at him with an expression that portrayed the face of one who had swallowed a fly."I don't even know what to do at this moment. We just have to keep trying to reach the bastard and get him to stop what he's planning to do." Philip replied."But he doesn't need to fear you for any reason because you don't know him and you've also paid him for the services ahead of the job." The butler replied.Philip's expression contorted even more as he heard how he had inadvertently caused this sort of situation to happen."I swear to god, I'll catch that bastard one day even if it's the last thing I do." Philip swore and stomped away from the table he was seated. He headed straight to his room where he sa

Maya looked at the man who had just walked in with slight apprehension.He clearly looked like a thug of some sort. He had the appearance of someone who was into shady business. Being the detective that she was, Maya was able to tell.But, he was asking about Ethan?"Did you not hear me?" The man asked."Why are you asking about Ethan?" Maya replied with a question of her own."Did Philip send you to kidnap me? Does he want to find out information about Ethan?" Maya asked curiously while she also seethed inwardly with fury.The man turned to look at the other guy who had been there since Maya woke up."Ghoul, why is she asking me such questions?" He asked.Ghoul, the first guy, looked at the other man. "Yeah, Bolt, she's a detective. She'll ask questions that'll bore you out." Ghoul replied."Okay... Ghoul? Bolt?" Maya spoke up with a frown. "What kind of lame-ass names are those?" She asked in utter astonishment.Both Ghoul and Bolt's faces turned grim and furious immediately."What'

Ethan drove back to his mansion. It was already late at night.He pulled up in in his parking lot and turned off the engine of the car, then he remained sitting for a while.Memories of what happened earlier that night flashed in his mind and he closed his eyes thinking about it."Why did I do that?" He muttered to himself rhetorically.But Ethan knew the answer himself. Any time he was alone with Maya, there was this calm that always settled in his mind and made him feel like nothing in the world could get to him.In fact, Ethan knew that the reason he hadn't regretted going on that short trip a while ago with Maya and his siblings was mainly because of Maya. She had brought almost all of the relief and calm that he needed. His emotions and feelings towards her couldn't help but become complicated.Ethan recalled her face and also recalled the way that he had felt. Then after a while, he shook his head ruefully."I can't keep getting distracted. There's a lot that I need to do." He s

Brick... He was a slim guy in his late thirties, but he looked like someone who was already in his fifties. As much as he loved having hair on his head and desired to keep it, he was still going bald as the hair on his head had become very sparse. He usually wore round rimmed glasses and looked like a notorious swindler most of the time. But Brick wasn't a swindler, he was someone who got himself in dirty jobs and tasks for people. The craziest part was that neither his clients or his employees actually knew who he was. He was very good at being covert and unknown. This fact alone made him somehow unreliable. But everyone who actually used his services were actually sure that he would do just about anything for money even if they hadn't met him before. Brick also had a resolve to never get directly involved with a crime scene. Whatever job he was going to carry out, he was never going to show his face. And when he did speak to his employees or contractors, he always used a distor

Maya found it difficult to grasp the reality of what she had just experienced.Even though it had been a wish of hers for a very long time that she be recognised by Ethan, she still found it unbelievable to witness it.Her wide-opened eyes met the closed eyelids of Ethan while his lips were still connected to hers. Then she saw the eyelids pry open gradually.Ethan looked into her eyes and drew away slowly without breathing.Maya was still stunned. But she didn't like the fact that Ethan was already retreating before she could even enjoy it. And the next thing she did was that she grabbed his face......and pulled him in for another kiss.This was Ethan's turn to be surprised. He had still been feeling unsure about his sudden impulse to kiss her before she pulled him back in for another kiss. And this one was way more intense than the first.Maya made sure to dig into his face gently as though she was savouring her favourite cake in the world. Ethan also cooperated with the kiss.It w

Ethan and Maya sat opposite each other, their expressions bright and faint smiles danced at the edges of their lips.The food was set on the table before them but Ethan hadn't yet touched his plate. Maya was only taking little nibbles from her plate once in a while as she was completely engrossed with Ethan while he spoke to her.Anyone who looked at the both of them in the restaurant would regard them as couples who were on a date. Well, it was a date."...I was only lucky to get out of there safely because Andrew had told some bodyguards to keep me safe." Said Ethan as he came to the conclusion of his brief narration.Maya's eyes twinkled like she had just heard a fairy tale story. But after a while of thinking about it, she discovered that she hadn't been truly listening. But luckily, she still recalled what Ethan had said."That fool!" Maya cursed at Philip. Her face flushed as she imagined what would have happened to Ethan if he hadn't been protected by those two mysterious bodyg

She had cheated on Ethan with this guy called Philip.It had been a thrilling venture then at that time, every time she cheated on Ethan, she had always felt a thrill run though her body just because of the knowledge that she was cheating on Ethan. At that time, Sophia had thought that she had always enjoyed it because she was in love with Philip since she never loved Ethan in the first place.How naive had she been...Sophia knew nothing about what love was supposed to truly be like. Her parents had never shown her the best example.They also, weren't brought together by love. It was all a contract marriage. Oliver had liked Clara and then struck a deal with her parents. Clara had never said anything or complained about it then and she had been entirely content because Oliver had the money that she needed to be happy.She was willing to be blind to her feelings as long as her husband was rich. It was this ignorance and nonchalance that was now being reflected in Sophia.It was now th

They arrived in front of a famous restaurant in Geneva.It was a large building with tall walls and magnificent but exquisite designs.Ethan escorted Maya out of the car and took her to the entrance. Somehow, the guards obediently made way for Ethan to enter without obstruction, this made Maya surprised.'Did he come here beforehand to arrange all these?' She wondered inwardly. However, she couldn't dwell on that for long.She stepped into the interior and was dumbstruck. There were walls of marble and plated gold made into tiles and pillars. Every corner of the restaurant was glamorous.The tables were very sparsely arranged and neither one was close to each other, giving each group or date a relatively private space. It was clear that only extremely wealthy people could come to this place.Before any time could pass at all, they were both approached by a beautiful lady with a pretty good dress as she guided them to a separate table for the both of them. Even such a waiter had Maya s
