TRILLIONAIRE IN DISGUISE Chapter 442
When Jackson looked left, his eyes melted into Avery’s and he let out what seemed like a gasp and quickly turned away.“Did you say something?” Derrick turned to Avery.“I don’t understand,” Avery mumbled with her eyes fixated on her lap. “I thought they all died in the blast.”Jackson immediately rolled up the windows and stepped on the wheels right after the green light came on. Before Avery could take a second look at him, he was gone.“Are you okay?” Asked a concerned Derrick. “You look shaken up.”Avery rubbed her palms against each other vigorously. “I think I’m seeing things.”Derrick sighed. “We are out of the traffic now.”The car started to move. Avery shut her eyes and rested her back against the car seat. Derrick grabbed his jacket and wrapped it around her.“Get some sleep. You’re tired.”***Immediately after Liam stormed out of his father’s office, he charged toward his car. When he mounted the driver’s seat, he released his tightened fists and unclenched his jaw.He re

“Are you okay?” Lisa demanded after noticing the cold expression on her father’s face. Joey flashed a smile and rested his back against the car seat.They had closed for the day and were heading home. As the driver sped down the road ahead, Joey wondered whether he should inform Lisa about the second mail he got from Roving Ventures or wait till they get home and have a proper conversation like he planned.“I’m so proud of you.” He mumbled.Lisa noticed the tired expression on his face. “Could there be a reason for the sudden declaration?”“Well, Roving demanded that you should be the one to officiate the deal on all our behalf. For them to come up with such a narrative, it could only mean that they don’t trust Liam and they are aware of your capabilities so I am proud of you and maybe.” He sat up with an index finger raised. “Maybe, I should have allowed you to handle it in the first place.”Lisa smiled and placed a hand on her father’s lap. “I understand you, dad. You did what you

“Please leave me alone, mom.” Lisa sniffled and turned away. She was seated on her bed, her back against the wall, hugging her chest with her knees. When she heard the door squeaking, it dawned on her that she hadn’t initiated a lock. She sighed and clenched her jaw. A few seconds later, her father walked in. Lisa immediately turned away and resolved to wipe the tears on her cheeks. She was expecting her mother to walk in but even if it was her father that eventually walked in, she wasn’t ready to see anyone. “I want to be alone.” She said with her face averted from her father. Joey sighed and sat by her feet. He looked at his palms. “I’m sorry. I’ve not been fair to you.”“I’m glad you realize it now.” Lisa retorted without looking at him. Joey looked up to her. “You’re right. I should have believed you when you mentioned that your meeting with Smith that evening was a coincidence. Also, I shouldn’t have used it against you.”Lisa sighed. Her father continued. “In as much as I

Ever since Lisa returned from Roving Ventures, she had barely done any paperwork. If she had presented her proposal and gotten a few remarks from Fredrick, she wouldn’t have felt any load on her chest but now, there were lots of drafts on her table and she could barely look at anyone. After she returned from the meeting, her father asked how it went and she told him about her experience. “It was brief and unexpected.” Lisa had told her father who replied that men like Fredrick don’t waste a lot of time on business matters hence when they see a good deal, they know it in an instant. Lisa sighed and grabbed a file from her desk. Based on her analysis, it would take Fredrick about two days to study her proposal and then make a verdict and they’ll get his email by the third day so there was no need to waste time thinking since there was a lot to do. She was about to open the file when Liam barged into her office. “What’s the matter with you?” Lisa was startled. The file dropped from

“You sent for me?” Charles said immediately after walking into the living room. Jackson was sitting inside the mansion in Nathan’s living room, sipping red wine from his glass. When he reached home, he texted Charles and asked him to meet him at the mansion the moment he closed from work. “I saw her!” Jacskon spat and dropped his glass on the table. Charles snatched the glass from the table and finished the drink with one gulp. “Saw who?” He wiped his mouth with the edge of his palm and sat. “Avery.”Charle’s brows went up. “Are you kidding me?”Jackson confirmed with a nod. The latest update Charles had on Avery was that she was flourishing in her job in London and he also heard that she was getting closer to Derrick as the days went by. He had no idea that she was back in town. “I was driving to the Casino bar to meet Cole then I got stuck in traffic and when I looked around, guess who I saw?” Jackson asked. Charles sighed. “I saw Avery Jacobs in flesh and blood and guess wh

“Sorry, I got caught up in traffic.” Nathan apologized immediately after he walked into the board room. Last night, he had directed Fredrick to schedule a meeting with all the board of directors at Roving Ventures. The meeting was slated for 10 am and Nathan had just walked into the boardroom at a quarter past 10. “That’s okay. You’re not that late anyway.”Fredrick replied and waved his hand down with a smile. Nathan sat on the chair directly opposite Fredrick and rolled his eyes around. “Great. I guess everyone is here.”“Yes,” Fredrick responded. Conor was seated on Fredrick’s right. To date, he was still shocked by the fact that the man whom he considered Smith; the riff-raff was an Alcantara. All efforts to reach Lisa and her family so that he could break this news to them proved abortive so this evening, Connor had decided to storm the Carson mansion. “Let’s begin then,” Nathan said after dropping his phone on the table. There were four persons in the room apart from Fredri

“We must ensure all things are in order. Everything must go according to plan.” Nathan told Fredrick. The partnership party was taking place the next day and Nathan wanted to ensure that it was a grand affair. Fredrick informed him that dozens of organizations had started coming up with proposals, bombarding their emails for partnership requests. It turned out that word had slipped out that the Alcantara’s were now open to partnerships even though it was made clear that only selected brands could send proposals. Fredrick had also informed Nathan about the reputable organizations walking up to him to seek invitations to attend the grand event since they weren’t selected as partners. “Since it was made clear that someone from the Alcantara clan will be present at the party, brand owners are desperate. They want to figure out who it was and what lies ahead since the tragedy that wiped your family.” Fredrick had supplied. Meanwhile, Nathan was seated in the back seat of an Uber. He

It was the day of the partnership party and word had already gone around the streets that the only company owned by the Alcantaras in Springville was hosting a one-of-a-kind event. At the venue, several exotic cars were already pulling up and were being directed by security experts toward the parking lot. The planning team had placed everything in order from coordinating the guests, decorations, and lighting, to bringing in top-tier caterers and all that was needed to throw a world-class party. The partnership party was slated for 7 pm. The guests will first of all have dinner, hang around, and then begin the meeting at 8 pm. So far, about 5 companies have been invited to the partnership event. The heads of these companies were asked to come with about three persons. For the Carsons who were running a family business, Joey felt that there were no ideal people to tag along than his wife and children. At quarter to 7 pm, almost all invited dignitaries were present at the venue. Whil

Steve pulled the car to a halt in front of the airport building. Nathan turned to Avery with a smile. “You still want to do this?” He asked with his hand stretched out toward her. She took his hand into hers. “More than anything in the world. I’ve been running around for years and I never told you this but the main reason why I came back to Rockville was to make peace with your soul and then build my brand from scratch now that you’re here, I just want to spend as much time with you as possible, away from the whole chaos and drama. Just the two of us.” Nathan planted a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you so much, Avery.”She smiled. “I’m excited. It’s going to be my first time in Russia and I just can’t wait to explore the city with the love of my life.”Steve cleared his throat loudly. “Looks like I also need to find the love of my life and take her to Russia.”They laughed.Suddenly, Nathan’s phone began to ring. He heaved a deep sigh and turned to Avery. “It’s Charles.”“It’s over.”

Morgan turned to his bodyguards who had been inside the lounge with him all this while. “Call for reinforcements. We’ve been tricked.”Derrick darted Morgan’s attention toward the chip on the table. “It’s a camouflage. It’s all programming shit.” He said and began to take off his jacket. Morgan was already sweating profusely. “I must find the real Alex. I need to kill that bastard today.”“Are you even serious?” Derrick cried out. “We are in a mess. That chip proved that this whole session was recorded.” He took his head into his hands. “I should have listened to Kelvin. This was a bad idea and now, we’re doomed. I’m not even sure if we’re the only ones in this building right now.”“I reserved the whole damn building and apart from the staff, there’s no damn customer here.” Morgan retorted and threw his gun on the floor. “My backup team will be here any moment from now and we’ll get the hell out of here. As for that recording chip, I don’t care about what’s in it or who had access t

“Now that your girlfriend is safe and out of the picture, let’s talk business,” Morgan said to Nathan’s camouflage who was sitting before him and Derrick. Both men had no idea that the man sitting in front of them was a product of science programmed to function like Alexander Alcantara with a chip buried in his head. The camouflage was programmed to follow Cole’s instructions and ever since he walked into the longue, his words and actions were being directed by Coke from outside. “Why did you kill my parents?” The camouflage asked Morgan. Morgan broke into a laugh. “Seriously? Do you think I have time for this? Do you want me to respond to your stupid questions? You’re doing this to buy time right?”“Isn’t it obvious that you have me under your mercy? If you are going to take me out then at least I deserve the chance to know why you killed everyone in my family.” Nathan replied. “For my brother’s sake.” Morgan quickly replied. “You killed Corrigan, the only person in the world wh

Nathan stretched his hand toward Avery and held her hand tightly. “You’ll be fine.” He mumbled to her lovingly. She nodded repeatedly.Derrick clenched his jaw and looked away while his bowels continued to heat up with rage. “You’re lying,” Morgan replied. “I gave you ten minutes to come here and according to my guards, you came alone so how did you get to rally troops and station them here?”Nathan chuckled. “I didn’t bring any troops from home. If you and your partner were smart enough, you’d know that this is the Grandiose Hotel and the Grandiose Hotel belongs to the Alcantaras.”Derrick and Morgan exchanged glances. “Shit!” Derrick cussed and rubbed his hair repeatedly. “It didn’t cross my mind.”Morgan frowned. “All I had to was give the manager a phone call before coming in. I told him that if four minutes pass by and Avery does not come walking through the door, he should tell the restaurant security squad to start firing.” Nathan said. Suddenly, Derrick snatched Morgan’s g

The waitresses returned carrying food trays. They graciously placed it on the table. Morgan reached for the plate of steak and began to devour it like a hungry lion. Avery kept staring at her plate of pasta and meatballs. “Are you okay?” Derrick demanded. “Yeah.” She replied and looked up. “Don’t eat that.” Nathan’s voice came through the chip. She heaved a deep sigh because that was exactly what was on her mind. What if the food was poisoned? She kept thinking. Nathan continued speaking to her. “Leave your bag there and get up. Act normal and tell them you need to use the restroom then you head out.”“I think I need to pee,” Avery announced. Morgan stopped eating and dropped his plate immediately. “But you just got here?”“Yeah.” Derrick agreed with a nod. Avery faked a smile and quickly stood up. “I think I had a lot of water earlier and now, I need to pee. I’ll be back soon.” She said. She was about to turn around when Morgan spoke. “Excuse me?” Avery turned around lookin

“You look as gorgeous as ever,” Nathan commented while Avery was tracing her way down the staircase. It was time to meet Derrick. He had already dropped the location and had called a while ago to say that he was on his way. Avery was wearing a short black floral dress with black sandals to match. Nathan had insisted that she apply makeup so that Derrick doesn’t sense her insecurity. “Are you sure about this?” Avery asked when she reached Nathan. Nathan took her face into his hands. “You’ll be fine. I promise you with my life.”She smiled. “If you say so.”“Remember, act normal and do as he says. Okay?”“Got it,” Avery replied and walked away. By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Derrick was already inside because he had texted her about three minutes ago that he had arrived. On her part, Avery had convinced him that their meeting was a secret because Nathan was not going to approve. She had taken a cab to get there. When Avery walked into the building, she was stunned by i

“Welcome, bro. What can I offer you?” Nathan demanded the moment Kelvin walked into his living room. Kelvin marched in and didn’t even look at the couch Nathan was presenting to him. “I don’t think I can sit.”“You look restless. What’s the matter?”Kelvin sighed and faced Nathan. “It’s Derrick. He had been in my place for the past three days and he’s been looking like shit.”“Did you ask you to come here and convince Avery to go back to me?” Nathan asked. He then raised an index finger. “Listen, tell Derrick that if I see him close to my woman, I’ll kill him so he should leave her alone.”“That’s not why I’m here.” Kelvin sharply replied. “Last night, he went on a rampage and drank several bottles of my wine and when I walked into him in my living room, he was half conscious and he said some things.”Nathan abruptly stood up. “What did he say?”“You and I both know that it’ll be difficult for a man like Derrick to change.” Said Kelvin. “It’s not like I’m condemning him.” He quickly

“He’s coming out shortly,” Daniel reported and sat with the rest of the team. That morning, Morgan’s allies stormed his mansion to talk about the tragic events that were unfolding. It was no news that his biggest warehouse was burnt to ashes. That evening, another one was looted and by midnight, Morgan got information that his security guards were attacked on their way back from the club and 6 perished while two were in a coma. Morgan made his way down the staircase, carrying the weight of his problems. However, he was sober and didn’t display any angry reaction. Perhaps, he was too beaten by the incidents that he had lost his will to react. His Allies looked upon him as he made his way toward them. The group consisted of his friends and partners who had helped him execute shady deals in the past. After he sat, Daniel stood up and cleared his throat loudly. “There is no denying that we all know who is behind the constant attacks. Without mincing words, I’d like to inform you all t

It was Saturday morning and during the weekends, Morgan plays tennis with Daniel, his assistant. Daniel is no fan of table tennis and barely knows how to hold the bat but every Saturday and Sunday morning, he shows up dressed in shorts with his gears just to impress Morgan. Also, Morgan knew that his assistant was bad in the sport so it gave him an edge to defeat him completely all the time. This morning, Daniel was already seated by the court in Morgan’s house and was waiting for his boss to show up. Morgan had just stepped out of his room and was on his way toward the living room before heading out to your court when his phone began to ring. He frowned and didn’t pick up the call. Even though he was a workaholic, he had made it clear to his workers that none of them would disturb him with work matters except if it was an emergency. The call persisted and the warning bells in Morgan’s head began to ring. What if this particular call was a case of emergency?The call was coming fr
