Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 70
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

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
Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 72
Maya did not expect to see the harsh reality that she now faced. She might have taken her captors as fools who were novices in this sort of business, but she hadn't expected that she would actually have no place of escape. Neither the room itself nor the toilet had any windows at all. This could only mean one thing for Maya; she was in an underground basement somewhere!"Shit!" Maya cursed out aloud. Her pretty face began to carry traces of anger and hatred. She approached the door through which the two men had left and tried to pry it open but to no avail. The door had been steadfastly locked. "Open this door!" Maya yelled and banged on the door with all her strength, causing loud terrible noises. The door still didn't budge, hereby increasing Maya's frustration. "So noisy!" A grating voice grumbled through the hallway. "It's you again!" Maya recognised the voice and sneered. "Let me out of here, Ghoul." She said. "Why should I do that?" Ghoul asked. "It isn't even like we're

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 wher

"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

Maya sat in the small room with a small frown over her face. The dull ache in her stomach had gradually transformed into an intense burning feeling. Her insides felt twisted and cramped, and she had become very hungry. It was at the point when she was being kidnapped that Bolt and Ghoul had injected her with that strange injection. Whatever it was, the effects were beginning to show now. Maya's hunger was crazily painful, dominating her thoughts and sapping away her strength little by little. She paced around the small, windowless room, trying to distract herself. But it was useless. No matter how much she tried to think of other things, her mind always drifted back to think of what she so desperately needed - food. Maya glanced hopefully at the door each time she heard footsteps approaching. Maybe her captors had come to their senses and would offer her a scrap of bread or a sip of water. Anything to make the pain she was feeling to subside even by a little bit. But each time, t
Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 76
Maya wasn't sure how much time had passed since Bolt and Ghoul's last visit. In the windowless room, day and night blended together into one endless torment of hunger. Her stomach had gone beyond painful cramping into a state of dull resignation, as if it had given up on ever being filled again. Even the fire in her veins from the injection had faded, leaving her weak and lightheaded.She drifted in and out of a fitful doze, slumped against the cold concrete wall. Strange visions swam through her mind - a roasted turkey with wings flying around her head, a chocolate fountain bubbling enticingly just out of reach. She could even smell the tasty foods from within her sleep. A loud bang jolted Maya awake. She jerked upright, heart pounding furiously, as the door swung open. Bolt strode in, his perpetual sneer even more infuriating now. Maya wanted to slap it off his face. But she could barely gather the strength to keep her head up."Wakey wakey," Bolt said with a cruel laugh. "I hope

Philip fidgeted in his seat, tugging at his collar. Across the table, Ethan sat with perfect composure, regarding Philip with those intense blue eyes. He looked so calm, so confident. It made Philip want to leap over the table and wrap his hands around Ethan's smug throat. But of course, he maintained his decorum. This was a court of law, after all.Still, Philip couldn't stop his leg from bouncing with pent-up nerves. He loosened his tie, feeling like it was strangling him. Where was that information from Brick? Surely Maya would have cracked by now. Philip just needed something, anything, to implicate Ethan and turn this whole case upside down. But his phone remained silent, his pocket empty of the evidence he desperately needed."If both parties are ready, we will begin," the judge said in his monotonous voice. He glanced at Ethan's lawyer, an imposing bald man with a trim salt-and-pepper beard. "The prosecution may begin.""Thank you, Your Honor." Ethan's lawyer, Mr. Everett, r

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
