THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 21
In a well-furnished room in a five-story building located on a quiet country estate, I sat on a long couch, staring at the odds and ends of the meeting reports. They were filled with details I needed to implement and emails I needed to send. I couldn’t trust the secretary to do it because of what happened the last time. She had mixed up the mail and sent it to the wrong addresses, causing a lot of confusion that day. If not for my quick intervention,they would have lost major deals and payments. I was going to fire her soon, but for now, I just had to leave the typing and scheduling meetings for her while I handled the important responsibilities and duties. I picked up a document that contained the announcement of the fifty companies that had applied for the A. I chatted with the bot, and they were to give the license to just fifteen people. Also, a discount for the first ten people. Checking through the report, I couldn’t find their names. Eni had forgotten to add it there. Damn! I

'I would do the transfer immediately you sign the documents and hand over everything about the company, Mr. Federick. I was hoping you wouldn’t hesitate. You are no coward, or are you?’ I asked, smiling.He looked at the dirty, gruff man, nodded, and picked up the documents. I was still calculating what he had in mind. Beat us up and force me to do a transfer? That’s pretty much it. Mr. Frederick wasn’t looking like someone who was willing to let go of his company easily.He dropped off the documents. ‘If you can increase the fee to about ten million dollars, I will let go of the company immediately.’I picked up my phone to send a text to Uncle Derrick. We had agreed to pay Mr. Federick seven million dollars if he was insistent. Uncle Derrick replied immediately; he disagreed and advised me to stick with the seven million dollars. Federick’s company was in a lot of trouble, and it will cost them a lot to recover from that reputation.‘The best I can do is seven million dollars, Mr. F
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 23
Mark walked into Craig’s headquarters, cursing inwardly and hating his father more. There were other staff members he could send, but he chose to send Mark because of their recent argument. He looked at his outfit again and prayed it wasn’t Arthur who was doing the oral interview.If it was that rash, he would just walk out and inform his father to move on from Craig’s product to something bigger. Like the Dot-Ai robot. He had suggested it this morning, but his father, a stubborn man, refused to listen to him. In his words, Dot A. I wasn’t offering a discount or a two-year warranty. It wasn’t up to Craig's standards, so Mark must ensure he didn’t jeopardize their chances. Like, it wasn’t jinxed already. His father thinks that Arthur would see him immediately and just give the company a pass mark. After all, he and Claire did. He had every urge to turn around, but due to his father’s assurance that Arthur wouldn’t be the one interviewing them, he took another long breath and walked in
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 24
Arthur picked up the report again and smiled. Mariana had tried to play smart again with him, but unfortunately, her plans hadn’t worked. How could she employ one of the most popular hackers in the city and expect the cops not to easily know that it was his handwork? Bruce Luthman was lucky, though. His whereabouts were unknown, but Marianna was going to prison for her theft.He called the cop who had been following up on the case. ‘You can go ahead and arrest her, but leave her sisters alone.’The cop replied, ‘She’s currently at a fashion show. Should we storm the place?’He thought for a second. Embarassing the ‘princess of the Craig Empire’ won’t hurt, right? ‘Storm the place and take her. She doesn’t deserve the respect after what she did to me.’The cop mumbled in agreement. I would pay for her visit to jail and offer her two options: pay the two hundred thousand dollars back or work as my personal assistant to pay what she owes. I could imagine how she would react. Also, I kn

Claire checked her phone again to be sure that Arthur had really texted her. He apologised for not responding to her texts for weeks and not picking up her calls. He promised to make it up to her during the weekend. She almost yelled,yelled, but quickly kept quiet. She was in bed in a motel with Mark,Mark, who was snoring away his life. She couldn’t believe her life had changed in just four days. No more new dresses, fat allowances,allowances, and making headlines. It was like a fairy tale, only that it was real for her.She sent a text to Arthur, thanking him for giving her another chance. She was going to ditch Mark’s plan of dealing with Arthur and focus on getting enough cash from Arthur to return to her lifestyle. She wasn’t born for poverty! Never!She jerked Mark up. It was morning already,already, but he still had the guts to sleep! They barely had enough due to Mark’s ruthless spending since his parents threw him out. He could make amends if he asked for forgiveness from h
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 26
Forrest County was pretty busy with cops all over the place. They seemed to be working on an important case and paid no attention to Arthur except for a few who stopped to greet him. He walked straight to the chief’s office, exchanged greetings, and had small talks about home, work, and family. He also wanted to know if Diana and Graceila had been making trouble. Arthur affirmed it and proceeded to tell him about the little drama earlier today. The Chief also spoke about their little drama after Arthur gave an order not to allow them to see Marianna.‘You should have seen her face. If I hadn’t threatened to lock her up, she would have slapped a cop and maybe scratched my face. She was so real with her threats.’Arthur smiled. That wasn’t news. Diana seemed to be the most vicious of the three sisters, but maybe it was just a way to cover her weaknesses. After today’s episode, he needed to be careful. There was also Lambert Joe to worry about, but first, he had to take care of Marianna
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 27
Mark turned the bed over. Where was Claire? He yelled her name three times with no response. He stood up immediately. He had been asleep all day and only woke up when she shook him up to eat. He checked the time. It was one o’clock. Wow. That means he had slept all day. He felt like a loser immediately. This was his fourth day of being jobless and cut off from his family. His dad had closed down all their joint accounts and ordered nobody in the family to help. He had stated that Mark has to learn one way or the other. His mother reached out and told him to beg his father. Mark refused. He will rather suffer than beg the wicked man. He had told his mother. He warned her not to call him again and blocked her number immediately. He hated them.Claire still held hope his father would look for him, but Mark knew better; the man would want him to return to him on his knees. He picked up a shirt and wore it. The mirror showed him a different version of himself. He looked broken. This wasn’
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 28
Three days in the hospital, and Arthur was already annoying the nurses with his frequent questions on when they would be discharging him from the hospital. It was a shoulder wound and a mild concussion to his head. He was fine already, but they didn’t see it. He had canceled his meet-up with Claire and rescheduled his plans for Mark. That decision had hurt him, but he had to stay alive to be able to deal with Mark properly. One thing that placed smiles on his face were Diana and Gabriella, who showed up every day at his room door, trying to get in but were escorted out of the hospital every time. His aunts and some people from the Craig clan who he didn’t know had visited him and tried to make him release Marianna. She had spent four days in jail and wasn’t eating well. He didn’t care. She had an option, and if she was wise, she would stick to it, as he had told them already.Uncle Derrick and a few others stood by his decision, and that was all he needed. The rest could keep whinin
