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.

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

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 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

You can’t give the company's shares to Arthur! I forbid you to do so!’ Mr. Morgan is hitting the table. ‘We will figure out how to pay him before the end of the week. That’s my decision.’Mark looked up, wondering if his father had missed the part where he stated that the deadline for the payment was today. He had tried to reach out to Mr. Gomez to validate Tom’s story, but the man’s line was unreachable. His father just had $15 million at his disposal, while Claire refused to drop anything. She was still pissed that he had insulted her in front of Arthur and Tom. He would deal properly with her later. Right now, he had to think of a way to escape jail and live to fight another day. He had to find a way to convince his dad to let him sell his shares. This was the only way. He ‘Dad, I feel it’s best if I sell my shares to him instead of you using the company’s meager profits to clear the debt. Look at the positive side of this option: we will have Craig as a shareholder in the compan

Sitting in the office, Arthur listened to his directors as they talked about the strategies for the month and how they could improve the team efforts of every brand. Arthur nodded when it was needed and said little when they asked for his approval. They were able to review the company’s financial goals and noticed that some of the tasks on the list had been accomplished solely by Arthur.He nodded to their praises and agreed with their constructive criticisms. Marianna’s lack of work enthusiasm was also talked about, and Arthur promised to deal with the lady. He was also tired of the back and forth with her. Ever since he released Diana from the liar, there was always a reason for her to bend his rules or ignore his orders. They couldn’t continue like this.The directors also informed him that they would be working on getting the technical and facility up to date with the latest project they had on the table. Arthur still felt it was too early to start another project after the last o
THE RISE OF THE SECRET HEIR CHAPTER 40
‘I can’t believe the destiny of Craig’s dynasty lies in his hands. Can’t you see him? Rumours had it that he was picked up from the gutter and changed into a king in a second. I don’t believe in fairy tales, but this one? It’s the perfect fairytale.’ Serena Qing whispered, ensuring her voice was a bit loud in the conference room. Arthur smiled a bit, not bothering to stare at her like others. He had met the Qing family a few days ago and concluded he didn’t like them a bit. They didn’t hesitate to show their displeasure and hatred for him when they were informed he was the new heir. Of course, they knew already, but that didn’t stop them from throwing taunting comments when he was earshot or during their conference like this one.Pure Heart’s Foundation was a climate change conference that every tech CEO was expected to attend. It was headed by representatives from each continent and had five permanent members: the Craig family and the Qing family. He didn’t want to come because his
