Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 59
Sophia found herself heading back to her house. Her head was in a turmoil as she didn't know how to even feel about the events that had happened around her very recently. She recalled the phone call conversation that she had just overheard Philip having with someone else that he had probably hired to deal with Ethan. Sophia has no problem with that. The problem was that the attack on Ethan seemed to have failed. Why would Philip fail to cause any danger to Ethan?Sophia pushed open the door of her home and stepped in. There, she saw her mother seating down in the living room with a blank look on her face. Clara had been very reserved these days. She wouldn't go out to meet her friends... Or rather she couldn't. She didn't even have friends anymore. The last time she had tried to visit some of her friends, it had been very awkward and she ended up leaving her house that day. She who used to be the queen among her peers was now being gossiped about. Almost everyone knew of the sta

"Good morning Mr Philip." A womanly voice greeted. "What is the matter?" Philip replied grumpily. He was still in great embarrassment by the thugs that had happened to him of late. "My boss told me to inform you that there has been another development." The woman replied. "Your boss? You mean the judge?" Philip asked in a tone of bewilderment. "Yes.""Then what is the information?" Philip demanded. "She said that another case has been filed against you this morning." The woman replied. She was the secretary to the judge. "What?!" Philip grimaced. "Who is the bastard that dare to sue me?" "It's Mr Clifford sir." Replied the secretary. "He came to the court to file a case of violence and murder." Philip's face contorted in anger. "That's bullshit! I never attacked or did anything to Clifford. What evidence does he have for this allegations?" Philip roared as he stood up from the chair. "He brought some evi..""Tell your boss I'm coming to see her right now." Philip said and hu

Philip discovered that the situation was playing out according to the way he actually expected it to. The lawsuit that Mr Clifford had filed against him was a solid case, but there wasn't enough evidence to tie it to Philip. Philip had made it so that he wouldn't be traced back to those men. They had been beaten unconscious but they hadn't died. When the police had gotten to the scene of the place that Ethan was attacked, they had rounded up the injured thugs and took them in for questioning. They had tried to trace them back to the person that gave them the job but nothing could be traced down to Brick. Turned out that even Brick was merely middleman who had somehow linked up with the thugs and was using them as his disposable tools. He had been very careful and had made sure that they couldn't trace anything back to him too. Immediately after the thugs had told him what happened, Brick had severed all means of communication with them and disappeared like a ghost after taking al

By the time Philip got to his house, he was surprised by what he saw. Sophia had been waiting for him at the door with a tensed up expression on her face. "What are you doing here?" Philip asked. Sophia only looked at him wordlessly and guided Philip into the house where he saw Sophia's parents, Oliver and Clara Walton. "What's going on here? Why are you guys here?" Philip asked with a confused expression. "Relax Philip. We don't mean to upset you." Clara said. She walked to where Philip was and tried to calm him down. It was evident that Philip was quite enraged at the moment. Sophia could guess why exactly that Philip was pissed. Philip drew a deep breath and forced out a faint smile. "I'm sorry for speaking like that. I'm just a bit stressed out." "That's alright." Clara replied with a smile. "Why don't you take a seat so that we can talk calmly?" She suggested. Philip nodded and sat down with a bit of guard as he tried to understand why they were all at his house. Oliver

"Are you staying?" asked Philip, turning to Sophia. Only the two of them remained, aside from Philip's butler who stood at a distance."Do you want me to leave?" Sophia asked. "I don't care what you do. I have some things that I want to attend to." Philip replied coldly. He turned around and walked off without saying much else. Sophia sat still in the spot with a contemplative expression. She didn't even know what to do or say. Her mind kept telling her that she was in trouble this time, but she didn't know how to deal with it. How could she who had always had things go her way become fearful because of some person that was proving especially difficult. She watched silently as Philip walked off. Philip called his butler's attention to himself. "I'm feeling suspicious about that bastard," Philip said. "What suspicions?" The butler asked curiously. "I am not quite sure..." Philip replied. He still didn't know where it was all going wrong. "I want you to go and find out all that

Maya beamed with a beautiful smile. "This evening sounds very nice." She replied, trying to contain the excitement in her voice. Ethan's expression became unconsciously bright. Even though he hadn't been prepared to do something like this, he didn't feel weird or unsure about his decision. "Then I'll pick you up by six. I have some things to do." Ethan said, his gaze had turned serious. "What things?" Maya asked. Ethan smiled softly at her. "You know... Work and other stuff. I'll tell you all about it later." "Hmm," Maya hummed. She then turned around and began walking away in a mesmerising manner. "I'll be waiting for you," she said as she walked off. Ethan smiled as she walked out of the room. Andrew entered the office just as Maya had disappeared. He had an expression of amusement evident on his face. Ethan noticed Andrew's amusement. "What?" He asked, the smile still dangling at the edges of his lips. "It's nothing, young master. I just thought you seem to be quite happy

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

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 n

"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
