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
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 29
Claire stepped out of the limousine, smiling widely. This was the life she had always wanted, and finally, Arthur was making it come true. She smiled, taking his hands. People turned, staring at them. Men gawked at her stunning figure, which the gold strapless dress helped to boost. She was going to be on every major magazine headline, and when Mark saw it, he was going to realize that she wasn’t joking with her threat. If he wanted to win her back, he had to do better than Arthur.Arthur opened the door for her, and she stepped in, ignoring the guard's greetings. A few days ago, they wouldn’t have looked twice at her or allowed her into the Silverstone Suites, but here she was, walking in with her ex-husband. She felt a bit hurt that this affluence and popularity were just for today, but since Arthur had agreed to pay her for her time, she had to flow with it.A waitress walked towards them and showed them their table. It was in the front row where most of the big figures were seated
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 30
Arthur took another sip of coffee as he read the headlines trending crazily in newspapers, magazines, and specialized magazines. Everyone was talking about the triple embarrassment of the Morgans. He smiled. It was a small win, but he was getting there. Claire had shown up in New Jersey and was currently working with his cleaners. She didn’t want to do it, but the watery offer of a house and fifty thousand dollars was too much to resist. He knew he was being unfair, but she turned into a piece of trash, and if not for his late father, he would probably be on the streets or die all because of her.He stood up and walked outside. A vehicle stopped. Uncle Derrick stepped out with Diana. Interesting. She had probably cried her way into Uncle Derrick’s place and brought him to help change Arthur’s mind. She was wasting her time. He had said what he needed to say about Marianna’s case. He had other pressing matters, like ensuring Lambert Joe got arrested before the old man tried to kill hi
