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 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

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

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
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 35
Arthur tapped the door twice before opening it. Diana looked pathetic. Her hair was ruffled, even though he had given her a lenient punishment. He had even allowed the housekeepers to allow her to bathe throughout her five days in the lair. She ate exquisite meals too, and she read a book. He wasn’t that wicked, even though the family termed his actions a terrible punishment. The letter wasn’t meant for close family members, but Arthurd disagreed, and at the end of the arguments, it was mostly done by Marianna. He had agreed to set her free today.She eyed him maliciously. ‘Have you come to gloat?’Arthur smiled, throwing a blanket on her. ‘The cold is a bit harsh, right? ’ She hissed, covering her shaking body, ‘So, you do care about me? That’s lovely. Now, can you leave? I was enjoying the silence before you came to corrupt the air.’‘You are still a pest, Diana. I thought after five days, you would have learned your lesson. I guess I was wrong. I will just leave you here for the n
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 36
Arthur repeated himself, giving her another chance. ‘Is the manager around? I want to deal directly with him.’Martha chuckled. ‘There’s no manager but me, and as I already told you, the only position available is the office assistant role. It’s a new role, and I am certain you will like it.’The sales manager rubbed his chin, moving away from Martha. ‘He’s not here for a job, like I stated earlier. Boss specifically stated that I attended to him immediately when he got here.’‘And I told you, it must be a mistake! I know Arthur from a former company. He can’t afford this vehicle. He’s probably joking or...’ Her eyes glowed. ‘Are you running an errand for your employer?’Arthur shook his head. It was obvious she wasn’t aware of his twist of fate. He had wasted enough time here and proceeded to dial the manager’s number, Mr. Vidal.Martha stared widely at him instantly as he mentioned Mr. Vidal’s name and her name. ‘What are you doing? Who’s on the phone?’He whistled. ‘You should have
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 37
The Hipit company stood out distinctively from other-story buildings. Arthur smiled, giving himself a pat on the shoulder. He had done well. He walked into the building, responding to a few people who stopped to greet him. Eni walked up to him, reading his tasks for today. The lady didn’t know when to be quiet and chatty. He paused in his steps when she announced a board meeting with the executive management team tomorrow. He hadn’t prepared his presentation for an investment programme he wanted to share with the team. He would have to do it tonight before travelling back to New Jersey, or he could reschedule the meeting. The latter seemed like the best option. He couldn’t show up with half-written documents and unprepared notes tomorrow. He would look like a joke.Imagine what Uncle Derrick would say when he discovered Arthur embarrassed himself in front of the executive management. He was the chief executive officer, and according to standards, he’s supposed to be the one with the
