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
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 31
The business meeting went longer than Arthur expected. There was a situation. Sammy Frank had moved in on a contract deal with one of the commercial banks. The advertising team was supposed to sign an advertising deal with them, but Sammy had outsmarted the team. Everyone was pissed off, especially the managing directors. He promised them he would try to sort out the situation, but inwardly he knew they had lost the contract. He had to figure out a way to deal with Sammy Frank. The annoying man had gone too far. He returned to his office and made another complaint. Marianna hadn’t shown up for work. That young lady was looking for trouble. He shifted her from his thoughts and focused on accomplishing his tasks for today. His voicemails played ten times while he was working. It was a familiar voice. An emotional Claire begs for her job back and a place in his life. Mark hadn’t allowed her into the room, and she was at Susan’s place. Arthur chuckled. So, she knew how to beg? Her sorro
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 32
Claire knocked for the umpteenth time, but there was still no response. She knew Mark was in. The motel manager had informed her that he hadn't left his room since she left two weeks ago. She stared at her suitcase and sighed. Susan’s fiance and her parents came visiting, so she had to leave to give them space. She knocked again and finally sat on the floor. Whenever Mark decides to step out, he will meet her outside. She sighed as she thought about how her fate had changed within one week. Everything had happened so fast that she couldn’t change a thing about it. Arthur was no longer picking up her calls, and she had lost a luxurious house and fifty thousand dollars, all because of her greed. It was too late to weep anyway. She had to find another way to continue her trending lifestyle, and according to Susan, Mark was the perfect solution. He loved her so much and wouldn’t hesitate to accept her back once she apologized. She stood up again and knocked—nothing.Night came quickly, a
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 33
Arthur checked his closet again and moaned. He hadn’t done enough shopping since he became the King of the Craig family and all his father’s clothes had been inherited by different family relatives. He had been grieving to fight for them or stop them from taking the clothes. He glanced at his wrist watch . There was still time for him to make a stop at Vintage stores. The most classic store in the universe. He had always wanted to purchase outfits from there but Claire had been his priority. He sighed. Her betrayal still hurted him even though he had started his revenge plan.She had returned to Mark and as expected, the hopeless romantic had accepted her with open hands. They were the hottest couple now in the company and he received daily updates on how Mark had been flashing cash around. Arthur suspected Mark was stealing from the company but he wasn’t going to start any investigat\ion yet. Mark had to enjoy the taste of wealth before he crashed and Arthur would be there to serve h
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 34
The founding father, whose name Arthur didn’t care to memorise, strode towards him. Immediately, Arthur stepped in with Jim, Uncle Derrick, and his wife. Arthur smiled and left to meet with some businessmen he had met during his father’s memorial. He hadn’t seen them in a long time. They received him genuinely and looked up to him for approval on their comments. He was pleased by their reception and the recognition that they gave him. He had never been accorded respect like this until he became Arthur Craig.Someone called him. He turned and smiled sardonically. Federick Gomez. The man looked better than the last time they saw him. He was obviously enjoying the money Arthur had paid him. ‘Fancy seeing you here, Arthur. How are you doing?’Arthur smiled, shaking his hands. ‘I am alright. So, what are you up to now? Still dealing with a court case?’Federick hadn’t been able to settle out of court. One of the victims had video evidence of the grooming and sexual assault done by Fderick
