THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Secrets of Jonathan Joseph
Amelia sat on the bed, after some few minutes she stood up and started pacing the large room; she was restless, but there was no way for her to eavesdrop, the glass rovers that led to the veranda would sell her out if one of them mistakenly looked back. The rovers were so wide that there were no walls to hide behind, what could they be keeping from her, Amelia thought. She went back and sat on the bed, telling herself that she’d ask Derek when he came up. Many things had happened in one day and they were all happening so fast, from disobeying her mother to Derek changing his mind about the abortion and now Derek and his mum were having a secret meeting. Amelia knew that Derek and Sam had a fight over inheritance ongoing but she had no idea how she was part of the plan and why Derek had told her to keep the baby and she was only going to find out when the baby was born. However, this secret meeting with his mother; Derek was going to tell about it tonight, no matter what. …..“So

Derek was certain of what he heard, he stared at Jonathan like someone who just heard a joke. He knew something was fishy since Jonathan came in, but he never expected that it would be of this magnitude. “Is this all a joke or what?” Derek asked, he had a half smile and a half serious expression. Jonathan glanced at Elena, he knew this wouldn’t be an easy task; naturally he didn’t expect Derek to accept this request instantly, it was a very surprising thing, no one would expect Jonathan of all people to seek for Ethan’s inheritance, especially when he’s about to die. It was a big blow to the Cole’s family if Ethan were to find out. “It isn’t a joke, Derek. Jonathan has the connections and resources to make our plan work; all he’s asking for his a compensation in return,” Elena tried to clear the tensed air, but Derek wasn’t having any of it, “I’ve known you for decades uncle Jonathan, if you wanted a part of my fathers wealth or properties, why didn’t you just ask him directly?”
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Dark as Night
Charity's heart felt like it hit the body of her chest, someone was trying to kidnap her in blood day light? Was it because of the type of car she now drives? Was this the type of vulnerability the rich had? Charity thought as she slowly crawled into the vehicle, putting her hands in the air. She moved into the passenger’s side while the burglar hopped into the driver’s seat. They had been waiting for her, Charity thought, because the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence. “Just face the other way and place your hands on the door, if you do everything I tell you, Miss Charity, I promise not to hurt you, but if you try to play smart,” Charity heard the back doors opening and it seemed like two other burglars entered the vehicle. “They’d blow your fucking brains all over your car,” the man concluded, then Charity felt the metallic object leaving her waist, but she dared not move. She was trembling so badly, and beads of sweat had gathered around her forehead, who could possibl

“Wait, what does Sam have to do with this?” Charity was confused, as she kept blinking her eyes severally because of the bright light. She had been thinking about Sam all day and now she was kidnapped and the man who seemed to be the kidnapper was referring to Sam. The chuckle was light and sarcastic, and it echoed around the small room. Charity anticipated the words that would come out of his mouth, anything at all; she really wanted to know exactly how Sam was connected to this kidnapping. “You’ll see, be patient.” The man stood up and started walking towards where Charity couldn’t see because of the light. “Tell me how Sam is connected to this!!” Charity yelled, breathing heavily.Her heart was beating abnormally, what was really going on? The fact that she had no details as to what was going on was making her feel more traumatized. Charity started giving sobbing sounds as she heard the creaking of a door being shut close, the light still flashing on her eyes. Then, in an ins

Sam dropped the phone on his desk as if he didn’t need the use of it anymore, his heart was beating faster than normal and he didn’t know exactly why. Maybe because he was a good person or because of the pity he had developed for Charity after he rejected her love. But why would Amelia kidnap Charity just to see him, or wasn’t it Amelia? Sam thought, breathing heavily as he brooded about all what just happened within the last five minutes. After some few minutes, he found himself lost in thoughts again and didn’t know when Victoria Blunt, his new secretary, came into his office. “Mr. Sam, there’s someone here to see you.” Victoria announced, holding her hands together in front of her like an innocent child. She was wearing the usual secretary dress, a white blouse and a tight short skirt. Her boobs was bigger making some of her buttons struggle to hold the blouse together, and she had a nice round ass. Victoria Blunt was everything that could make Sam do something he wouldn’t want

“The same number is calling again,” Sam's eyes widened as he stared at his phone screen. Emily was too shocked to speak, she froze; gazing at Sam, stunned at what he just said.Sam slowly picked up the call, and placed it on speaker; so Emily would be able to hear the conversations between him and the kidnapper. “Hello, Mr. Sam, I’ve something to tell you. You might want to take drastic measures in protecting your fiancée, Emily Rosenberg, but it doesn’t mean if we wanted her, we wouldn’t get her. It’s just a word of advice not a threat,” The caller hung up immediately after speaking without giving Sam a chance to say anything. Sam didn’t know how to react, it was as if the guy read his mind totally; how could this be? A moment ago, it was Emily who was speechless but now, it was his turn. His heartbeat rose dramatically, he was so confused and shocked at the same time. And worst of all, he was afraid. “How did he know my name?” Those were the first words that came out from a wo
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The man behind the scenes
At Sam’s Villa, (A few minutes before 9pm.)Emily paced their large bedroom back and forth, she hadn’t removed the dress she wore to Sam’s office that morning; she still had it on even with the heels. She was so restless and dangerous thoughts kept running around inside her head. What if Sam didn’t come back? What if this was really a trap like she had thought? Where does that leave her? If Sam died, Derek would surely inherit all of his properties and even Ethan’s corporation, she would be back to square one because she currently had no job. Apart from that fact, Emily wasn’t ready to lose the lovely relationship she was building with Sam, it was really difficult to find a man of Sam’s caliber to love you so genuinely as he was doing to her and just the thought of that was making her love for him increase every single day. Emily couldn’t hold back herself anymore, she walked out of the room and hurried down the stairs. ….In less than two minutes, Emily was on the road in one of

Sam stood looking at the figure, the grin on Jonathan’s face showed that he was expecting the surprise and shock that Sam was currently displaying. “Uncle Jonathan?” Sam called, walking slowly towards him, taking each step cautiously. There was no other person in the room, just Jonathan; standing in the middle of the white bright bulb that was over him. He was wearing a black suit, just like one of those ones that Derek had on regularly. Sam was surprised not only because he was seeing Jonathan in this room, he was also stunned at his appearance. Jonathan had all of his hair scraped off his head, he was looking like a mafia boss in those action movies. Jonathan remained silent as Sam got closer to him, he decided to show himself as the intermediary so Sam would be able to cooperate easily, since Sam would eventually find out that he was behind this conspiracy sooner or later, it was better for him to show himself now, so Sam would know how serious they were from the on set. “Are

An unusual End
Ariana stood outside the hospital, ever since she called Derek, she hadn’t gone back inside. She wanted to be the first one o recieve him, she had to try and stop Derek from doing any harm to Sam, she knew he was going to blame him for everything that happened to both Elena and Ethan. Even though a part of it was his fault too. An ambulance arrived the hospital, but it sound didn’t jolt Ariana from her thoughts, she kept on going forward and backwards on the open area in front of the big hospital. “Stay with us, sir…stay with us.” The words were loud and demanding and it got Ariana to stare at the person who was saying it. Just as she looked behind her shoulders, her eyes fell on the man who was lying on the moving stretcher, it was Derek! Ariana didn’t know when she started running towards the stretcher, tears streaming down her eyes at will. What the hell happened? What’s going on in her miserable life? These unanswered questions hit her hard, it was as if her heart would rip o

And there was Darkness
Immediately Ariana reported the news to Derek, she heard a beeping sound that indicated that the receiver had hung up. She fell down on her knees outside the hospital and continued crying her eyes out, somewhere deep inside her heart; she prayed that the news hadn’t affected Derek in anyway.***The cell phone dropped from Derek’s hand and landed on the marble floor of his sitting room, the glass of whiskey he was holding in his left also fell off his grip and shattered on the floor, causing Amelia to rush out of the kitchen that was close to the sitting room. His eyes were wide and filled with uttermost despair, he couldn’t describe what he was feeling at the moment, he heard what Ariana said clearly, he had an hunch something was wrong that was why he picked up the call immediately. Ever since he joined his mother to get the inheritance off Sam, Ariana hadn’t called him in awhile. Amelia hurried out of the kitchen, rushing into the room; she had a shocking expression on her face

The Share of Guilt
Sam felt a double blow to his heart, in the midst of all these tribulations, Derek was coming for him. It wasn’t as if he didn’t expect it, he was somehow responsible for thier mother’s death, and Derek who has forever hated him would always believe he was the cause of Elena’s death. “Although I’ve spoken to him about not doing something stupid, but I’m not really sure he’s going to heed to my advise, which is the reason I’m telling you.” Clinton continued, staring at Sam closely. It was now somewhat his responsibility to take care of Sam, now that Ethan was in the brink of death, but he kept praying in his heart for God to give Ethan few more months. “What do you mean Derek is coming for him?” Ariana who had been listening for awhile chipped in, sniffing and staring suprisedly at Clinton. “You and Ethan are the only people who would believe the story about Elena’s death, Derek will not; and I’m sure you know why,” Clinton responded. Sam was still silent and confused as fear stre

Emergency
Sam pulled up from the embrace and stared at his fiancée with so much affection in his blue eyes. Emily’s eyes widened and her smile brightened, she was pregnant for Sam, just when her step sister aborted his child. It seemed the child reincarnated or something. “Are…are you for real?” The surprise and joy was so obvious on her expression, she hadn’t felt this much joy before, despite the fact that she just escaped death narrowly. How situations can change in a split of a second. “The doctor just told me now, the baby’s safe and I’m mostly glad that you’re also,” Sam revealed, he was almost starting to tear up now. “Oh gosh, I’m so so happy… can’t believe this is happening, Sam.” Emily’s voice sounded like she’d burst into tears soon. “It is happening, Em, you’re going to be a mum and I would be a dad, even though we just experienced the most traumatic experience of our lives, this news has brought so much joy, enough to overwhelm our sadness,” Sam narrated, staring at Emily wit

The Pinnacle of Pain
“Talk to me, Ariana, what is it you want to tell me?” Ethan climbed off the bed and rushed towards Ariana, holding her hands. He was surprised at her sudden burst in tears, what could have gone wrong, his heart started to pound abnormally in an instant. “I don’t know how to say this, but, promise me that you wouldn’t be affected by this news,” Ariana cried, even though she had mentioned the first two words, Ethan hadn’t grabbed what she wanted to talk about. He was still totally in the dark. Ethan looked at her confusedly, she was making him more scared and his heartbeat continued to move up drastically. He couldn’t promise such a thing, because he had no idea what she wanted to reveal to him and with all of this fuss, it was certain that it was something negative. “What’s going on, Ariana? You’re making me anxious already, just spill the beans,” Ethan's patience wouldn’t last long, has he held Ariana's hands, he was staring into her teary eyes and it was breaking his heart. But

Difficult Words
Sam’s mouth fell open, but no words came out. He was totally unaware of that, especially in this kind of situation, who would have thought that Emily was pregnant. “The baby’s fine, even after the drugs and stress she went through, it’s actually a miracle somewhat,” the doctor continued, smiling broadly, oblivious to what was going on in Sam’s head. Sam still remained shocked and mute, Emily was pregnant for him, God was really working miracles, just when Amelia had gone and aborted his child, then came another one. “Mr. Sam…. Mr. Samuel, are you okay?” The doctor was suddenly concerned about Sam's silence and shocked expression. Sam nodded positively without uttering any words, his eyes still popped wide. “Why is it so surprising to hear that your wife’s pregnant, actually I thought you’d tell me you know already,” the doctor was starting to get confused with Sam’s reactions and response to the news he just delivered. “You… oh God, you wouldn’t understand, doc. But I’m so glad

The Beginning of the End
Jonathan who was already scared because of his present predicament, and wasn’t concentrating on the conversation was overwhelmingly shocked by what he just heard Clinton say. Dead? How’s that even possible? He thought, Jonathan couldn’t believe it, just as he couldn’t believe he’d be going to jail soon. Derek shook his head, staring at Clinton with his eyes wide open and his heart beating so hard like it’d pop out of his chest. It seems what he just heard was a fluke or something, there was no way that was true. “Wha…what…what did you just say?” He stuttered, trying as much as possible to calm his nerves and not believe what he heard earlier. Clinton sighed, this was the real reason why he came to pass the message himself, he was so sure that Derek would take the hit harder than Ariana because Derek loved his mother more than Ethan, it was as if the two children picked one parent each. However, they still loved both thier parents. If it had been Sam giving this report, it’d even

Walls Have Ears.
(Back in Ethan’s Mansion) Ariana went into the guest bathroom to wash up her face, she had cried her eyes out and Ethan would definitely know no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She could reduce the swollen part of her face but the redness in her eye balls wouldn’t be easily removed. She stared at the mirror, looking at her reflection for a few seconds; but all she was seeing was the flashes of her mother’s face. Still, she couldn’t believe that Elena was dead, it was the most difficult reality to accept and it shattered her heart to molecules even though she didn’t have a perfect relationship with her mother. Now, it was evident and obvious that she’d become an orphan very soon, losing both her parents at such a tender age. The fact that none of them was going to hold her hand and lead her through the aisle and bless her marriage when she decided to have one was heartbreaking. Ariana had no idea how she wanted to relay the message to her father without him getting a heart a

If Walls Could Talk
Derek stepped out of the vehicle slowly, gazing at Clinton with so much suspicion; no one except he and Jonathan knew about the location that Elena was, then how the hell did Clinton know about Elena? That was Derek’s first surprise, but that wasn’t all, now that it seemed like something was going on in the location where Elena was, he also had information about that. It was obviously concluded that Elena had been discovered, Derek thought, closing the door to his vehicle carefully. “Let’s go in, Derek. What I’m about to tell you is very important,” Clinton didn’t wait for approval, he started walking towards Derek’s mansion as soon as he finished talking. Derek glanced at Jonathan and then at Clinton again who was already close to the front door of his house. What exactly was going on? Derek was utterly confused and he was being killed with uttermost suspense. “We need to hear him out, Derek. Clinton doesn’t joke around, but you and I know that for Clinton to have information ab
