Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 35
Maya was overjoyed to hear the news. Ethan had called her to ask her if she wanted to come for the trip. Not that he had to ask her because the kids had already told him that she agreed. But Ethan still asked her due to etiquette and as a show of respect. "Will you be able to leave your office for a few days?" Maya asked Ethan. "It's not a problem. My boss already approved of it immediately I told him." Ethan replied. He himself was his own boss. But Maya didn't know about it yet, he just had to come up with a convincing lie. "Alright!" Maya was ecstatic. "How about you? Can you really afford to leave your company? You don't have to force yourself or create troubles for yourself." Ethan said with a tone of concern. "It's perfectly fine." Maya replied immediately. She was lying, she was already getting into some little trouble at work for not being available most of the time and also using the company resources to look for information about the Waltons. Maya didn't really care

The next day, Ethan pulled up at an address that Maya had sent to him. Sylvie and Mark were already inside the car with enthusiastic expressions on their faces. Most especially Sylvie. She was simply delighted and in high spirits. "So this is her house..." Ethan mumbled to himself as he stared at the apartment block Maya had described. He got down from the car and spoke to the kids. "Wait here for a minute, let me go get Maya." He said. "Okay!" Sylvie replied between mouthfuls as she chewed on the chips Ethan had bought for her just some minutes ago. Ethan gave a wry smile and walked towards the apartment. Then he knocked the door gently. Meanwhile, Maya had seen him coming already. "He's here!" She yelled with a whisper. She was excited. She had already seen Ethan pull up with the kids and watched him through the window as he approached her door and knocked. Maya quickly adjusted her gown and bust while looking at the mirror. She also gave her hair a few pats before nodding in

Not long after, Ethan drove up to a beach side. "This is the place?" Ethan asked with furrowed brows. "Yeah." Maya replied delightfully as she stared at the scenery with a smile. Sylvie also beamed with a smile as she stared out the window. "Brother Ethan, let's go! Let's go!" She shouted with excitement and twinkling eyes. "Calm down Sylvie!" Mark grumbled as he tried to calm his restless sister. But Sylvie couldn't be calmed so easily, she was full of energy. Ethan simply shook his head wryly as he watched the drama. Then he drove Maya to the entrance with the kids. After a brief inspection at the security posts, they went in and registered for their brief tour of the beach. "Hehe.." Sylvie was all smiles as her eyes kept darting around inquisitively. She was almost pulling Ethan along to run. "Careful Sylvie, you've not been here before so you might get lost." Ethan cautioned with a sigh. The little girl could not be blamed, she hadn't ever had the opportunity to go to an

The next day, Ethan was once again driving the group to another stop during the vacation. Ethan wore a blue t-shirt with pale jeans and white Jordans. His hair was combed freely and he looked quite relaxed. "So... Where is our stop for today?" Ethan asked expressionlessly as he kept his eyes on the road. Maya who sat beside him was similarly dressed casually. She wore a peach top with tight black pants and also a facecap. Maya turned to glance at Ethan before looking back towards Sylvie and Mark. "Where do you want to go?" Maya asked with a smile. "I want to go to the park." Sylvie replied without giving Mark his own chance to respond. "The amusement park?" "Yes. That one with the roller stuff!" Sylvie replied with a toothie grin. "You want to ride the rollercoasters?" Maya asked with a light chuckle. Ethan took a side glance at Sylvie and smiled faintly. "I've not gone there before so I want to go today." Sylvie explained with a calm tone. Mark snorted. "It's not safe for
Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 39
"Hahaha!" Maya burst into an hysterical laughter. Ethan's complexion changed and he had a grin expression on his face. He was already trying to stomach the sudden motions of the rollercoaster and now, Sylvie had thrown up all over him. He didn't even know how to react; or rather, he didn't even have the time to. The carriage kept making impossible and thrilling turns without giving anyone the chance to catch their breath. Even Maya was forced to clench her teeth after a short laughter at Ethan's plight. Sylvie on the other hand, simply switched her support line. She had been holding onto Ethan before but now that his cloth was ruined, she had to switch up to the next person... Mark. She gripped his shirt tightly too. "Ahh! Sylvie - don't - throw - up - in - my - shirt!" Mark warned Sylvie in panic, making sure that his voice was heard clearly. Sylvie didn't even pay him attention and continued holding onto him. Ethan's face was colored with embarrassment. He was still sort of

The short trip was turning out to be a success. Maya could tell because Ethan had been becoming more relaxed. The stoic expression he constantly had on his face was loosening up. "Which one do you want to ride?" Ethan stood facing the different kind of rides available at the amusement park while holding Sylvie in his arms. Mark stood by his side and Maya was just right behind them. They had just finished lunch. Sylvie had a cute pondering expression on her face like she was about to make a big decision before she pointed to a ride. "That one!" She said. "Oh..." Ethan furrowed his brows. Then he dropped Sylvie on the ground. "Go with her Mark, I can't get in that one." Mark nodded and walked off with Sylvie who didn't care whether Ethan was interested or not. "You're chickening out?" A voice sounded behind Ethan. He turned imperceptibly and saw Maya smirking at him. "It's not even dangerous. I don't think that's for adults to ride on." He shook his head wryly. "Yeah... Just lik

The next day. Ethan walked out of his room and walked towards the dining for breakfast. It was the last day of the short vacation. Ethan approached the table and saw Mark already seated. "Good morning brother Ethan." Mark greeted with a slight bow of his head. "Good morning Mark." Ethan replied and ruffled his hair. Then he took a seat beside him and sat."Are you having a great time?" Ethan asked him. Mark turned his head to Ethan and a smiled formed on his young face. "I'm having a lot of fun. Thank you for bringing me on this trip." Mark replied with gratitude and a shine in his eyes. "Don't mention it." Ethan replied Mark. "We're family. As your brother it's my job to take care of you." "Okay.""If there's anytime you have something that you need or you want to leave the orphanage to come stay with me then you just have to let me know." Ethan said again. He had already asked the kids if they wanted to stay with him some time ago. But they had said that they were comfortabl

Soon the interior of the arcade came into full view.It was large inside and there were a lot of people. Mostly kids. Many of them came with their families. As Mark walked ahead of the group, his excited gaze kept sweeping over the different games he saw children and even adults playing with. He saw people covered with virtual reality consoles and making all sorts of absorb movements which reflected on a big screen in front of them. There were different games which were being played. "Which one do you want to play?" Ethan asked Mark. His fervent gaze was just too obvious.Mark gulped. "I want to play all of them if I can!" He said. Ethan chuckled and pat him on his shoulder. "knock yourself out." He said with a smile. Seeing Ethan's approving nod, Mark discarded all his hesitation and plunged at the virtual reality games he saw. "Do you want to join him?" Maya asked Sylvie. Sylvie observed Mark with a deadpan expression on her face and shook her head. "I will play another one."

"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!"

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

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.

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
