TRILLIONAIRE SECRET HEIR Chapter 50
“Charlotte, to what do I owe the pleasure of you visiting me now?” the chief of police asked with a nervous chuckle escaping his lips, he relaxed back on the chair he was seated on, pulling on the strands of beards. "I only hope it is not what I am thinking though.“Oh, it’s nothing much, just a slight favor that I have to ask you,” she said, walking towards him inside the VIP room inside the club where she had agreed to meet him. She had chosen that location only because there was no way anyone would think that the reason for her entering that place was to see the chief of police, after all, it is a place meant for the rich people in the city.“A… a slight favor, it is very rare for you to ask of it, is it perhaps your father that had sent you to me today?” he asked nervously.“No,” she watched him breathe a sigh of relief and relax properly on the chair he was seated on, he looked more relaxed than he did, a couple of seconds before she gave him her answer. “Ok, then what brought
TRILLIONAIRE SECRET HEIR Chapter 51
There is always a party being hosted by a particular family, the Vladimirs, annually and sometimes twice in a year, where they invite the wealthy ones of the town. The media never fail to attend such parties, they always get gossips to talk about for a while or whatever it is that would grab their attention and Jake, the new chairman of the McPherson consortium coming to the party with a billionaire famous daughter, Charlotte Hargreaves is one of them. She wrapped her hands around his arms with a smile on her face, while they both walked on the red carpet leading to the building where the party is being hosted. The flashing light of the camera almost blinded them, all the journalist, rushed over their side immediately they caught sight of them. “Mr. McPherson how do you feel after the previous senior McPherson named you the new chairman just hours after finding his lost grandson?”“Do you feel pressured by this role?” “What is your relationship with Miss. Charlotte Hargreaves?” “

They all turned back to look at him and exchanged pleasantries with him, “I am sorry, but I have quite a few things to show Chairman Jake, once I am done, I am pretty sure that he will find his way back to you or you would somehow meet up with him again when he is alone” Max said with a wide smile on his face. “Sure,” Alice’s mother nodded her head, dragging Alice along with her. Jake turned to face Max, “you were a lifesaver, right there,” he said to him, stretching a flute of champagne to him. “Well, I figured that you needed some saving or they would both drain the energy out of you before you even get the chance to meet up with other people” he replied, taking a sip from the flute of champagne he was holding. “So, any news from the detective?” Jake asked the expression he was putting on a few minutes ago morphed into a blank one. “Yes, the chief of police has permitted her to continue with the case, all evidence has been submitted and she reported that he would soon be carrie

“Go on, what is it?” Jake asked, turning to face him, “But before you go on with your request, I hope you know that I don’t have any relationship with your daughter” he added.Mr. George clenched his jaw, gripping the flute of champagne he was holding for a while, before clearing his throat and proceeding to tell him his request, but he hesitated, seeing the look in his face, he swallowed back the request, he wasn’t sure he was going to get the positive answer that he is hoping for. He noticed in that instant that Jake is not someone that would do anything just to please another person, there is always something he wants to achieve in the long-run, bringing his request to him would mean he might lose it all in the end. Jake’s expression softened, seeing the hesitation in the old man’s eyes, “Say whatever it is that you want to say, the look on my face is all a façade by the way” he said, his lips stretching into a wide, bright smile. “Do you think you can fool me with that fake smil
TRILLIONAIRE SECRET HEIR Chapter 54
A few days after the party had ended, just like Jake had suspected, Fred and his grandmother or whoever was behind him made their move, they ended quite a lot of the detective family members. Jake attended the burial, everything he was putting on from his head to toe was black, just like everyone attending the burial ceremony, he watched her cry hard without a simple look of remorse in his eyes.“That is bad of you to do, at least feign it or something, you don’t know whether any journalist is here to capture that moment, and who knows what story they would put out there?” Max said beside him. “Oh, you are looking at me,” Jake said, snapping out of his thoughts, tilting his head to look at him. He made a sad expression on his face, “Was it a must to attend this funeral?” Jake asked. “We just have to,” Max replied. After they were done, they were about to walk away but Sarah caught sight of them and ran up to catch up to them. “Thank you for coming,” she said, making them halt and

“I guess this will be the first board meeting that I will be involved in since my taking over as the chairman of this Consortium” Jake said with a voice that exuded authority, he wanted to leave a first impression on all the board members that he is not one to be messed with easily and they shouldn’t try what the rest of the chairmen of other companies are trying to do, which he use him as a stepping stone in achieving their goals. “Yes,” they all answered in unison. “So, we will skip all the intro, since I already have an idea about who you all are and would learn more about each of you as we proceed. First of all, let’s treat the most important issue of this meeting” he said, turning to Sam, the youngest among the board of directors members, with a nod of his head, he gave him the signal to continue with what he had in mind to present to everyone. “There is a project that I was assigned to take on before the previous senior McPherson stepped down from the post he was occupying as

“Under arrest?” Jake asked, jumping off his feet, “For murder of people I have never met in my life before? Are you sure you are not spilling nonsense, detective?” “Your fingerprints were found at the murder scene, are you going to deny that?” she asked furiously, clearly disappointed in him. She always had the thought that maybe he was different from the rest of them since she met him at night and he told her to cooperate with him in putting a bad guy behind the jail, only to find out that he is just as heartless as the rest of them or so she has been led to believe. “Fingerprints? I don’t even know where the murder scene is” he said, flaring up. “Then are you going to deny agreeing to have committed the murder yourself a few minutes ago?” Aiden asked, pressing a recorded sound and what played next was the voice of Jake agreeing to have committed the crime with a loud maniacal laughter. “What about that?” the detective asked, clenching her jaw, “I will advise you to just comply w

"Sarah pull yourself together and answer my question,what is your relationship with Aiden and what woman walked up to you filling your head with plenty of garbage"This was becoming tiring to him, he only followed her out of respect, if he wanted to play stubborn the whole office would be in an uproar by now.She turns from the driver's seat and looked at him, hate filled her eyes. If looks could kill he would be dead in the backseat of her police vehicle."You seat there and ask me such questions when you and I know that you orchestrated the murder of my family". She was in so much pain her words were coming out in gasps.Jake was soaked up in confusion, until now he has never met Aiden McPherson. Could this be senior Mrs McPherson's plan all along?. He wondered to himselfTo make him fall bait to her tricks, how many more McPherson's will he still have to encounter before knowing what he is really into.The words coming out of Sarah's mouth had no meaning to him anymore, all he coul

“What about her?”. Sarah pointed to Elizabeth.Jake walked close to her and grabbed her by the clothes.“Give me one reason why I shouldn't put your body alongside theirs”.“I am not going to beg, I deserve anything you do to me”. Elizabeth said not displaying any fear.Jake released her.“I'm letting you go, not because I am too weak to kill you buy because you deserve a better punishment, you will live the rest of your miserable life, thinking about how you failed in this world, and the deaths of all these people will be upon you alone”.Elizabeth did not know when a tear dropped from her eyes, she would have preferred death over leaving like this, when no one was looking she grabbed a gun and shot herself in the head. Jake didn't say anything, he didn't even feel anything, he only held Sarah close to himself and said, “Let's go”.They drove back to the house, and this time it was finally over, when they got in neither Cassandra nor the old man was at home, and a maid told them that

Aiden's grip on Tyler was strong, he pulled him along to a safe spot away from the bullets that flew recklessly, “What has gotten into you, do you want to die? is your life not important to you, how can you rush head on just to get the deed”.Tyler was not listening, his mind was roaming,“Aiden, I've got a plan, since it's just the two of them and we have more men that are armed, why don't you distract them, while they try to catch up with you, I will just round up around the back and pick up the deed, he dropped it when he shot that guy I saw it”.Aiden was not okay with it, but Tyler can be very persistent, “Okay, but make sure to come to the car in ten minutes, I will try to hold them off for that time”. They followed different directions.When Aiden looked out he didn't see Sarah or Jake, he never thought Jake would have the balls to pull a fast one on them, he has to be careful, he saw three of his men and told them to go with him quickly, but Max ambushed them and Sarah's men,

Tyler started laughing, he laughed so hard and loud that tears formed around his eyes, Jake even wondered what was so funny about what he said, when he got his breath back he looked into Jake's eyes, “I always knew you were a smart guy, that is why handling you has been theost difficult task to do, i hear your terms but I don't know if Aiden will agree to it, if he doesn't agree to it you have no choice but to come along with it”.“I have a choice and I'm not giving the deed until I see that Sarah is safe and she is beside me”.“You are quite adamant, fine I'll see what I can do to make him accept, although it will be difficult, don't get your hopes up”. Tyler still laughed a bit as he turned his wheelchair and wheeled himself out.Jake gave a huge sigh as he left, that should work, in two days the would have Sarah back, he called in Max who had fully resumed work with Jake.“I just saw Tyler leaving, still on his wheelchair”. Max said.“I am surprised as well, anyways let's forget ab

“Jake?, I've studied him even before Robinson found him, I got to know who he really was but I didn't make any move on him, keeping his identity secret guaranteed his safety more than anything else, but when Robinson found him out he did not hesitate to announce him as chairman, knowing fully well that the people on the hunt for his existence will stop at nothing to find him”.Elizabeth just gave Sarah some useful information, “if you had found him long before, why didn't you approach him in secret, he must have yearned for a family like you all those years, and probably prepared his mind for events like this' '.“You are not getting me at all, revealing myself would have posed a lot of threat to him then and could have gotten him killed, how did you think we were able to manipulate his ex-wife and her new husband into going against him, at least he has the resources to defend himself now, I don't even have anything to say, just that I am not scared of anything happening to me now, I

Aiden walked straight to where she was huddled and sat beside her not minding her hateful stare, “I am going to ask you one last time, why have you not been eating the food brought to you?”.“Because I'm not hungry, I don't feel like eating anything”.“But you drink the water, do you think the food is poisoned if so it would be easier to poison the water that you drank without any hassle, now listen here, I'm not giving you the food out of courtesy, I'm giving you to hold my end of the deal with your boyfriend, although I promise to give you back to him in one piece, that is if he delivers what I want on time, so next time one of my men bring in your food, I need you to eat and finish it up, do you understand me?”. Sarah gave a nod to show she understood everything that he said.“Good girl”. He tapped her cheeks and left the room with Tyler.“So what do we do now?, Do we just sit and wait?” Tyler asked Aiden.“That is the only thing we can do, wait for him to come to us, don't worry y

Cassandra grumbled loudly but it fell on deaf ears, “I am now a married woman, you both can't keep making decisions for me”.“Not when it concerns your safety, we will make the decisions to the end, I need you to comply with this one Cassie and I'm not asking”. Max said with a tone of finality.The next day Jake had assembled the top members of his board and Important executives from different branches, he also got a small amount of media personnel to be in the room with them, he was making a statement to Aiden and Tyler, that he was doing as they asked.“Gentleman and ladies, you all must have been wondering the reason for this gathering, as you all know, my grandfather your former chairman found me after plenty of years of searching, and when he finally did, he did not bother that I did not grow up learning the family business, or that I had no idea how to keep his legacy running, but he entrusted me with it all the same, I have tried all I could from when I resumed my responsibilit

As he got home his mind was calm, there was no longer fear or worry in his mind, and he was just full of determination, he knew he had to move with conviction, no negative emotion must flow from his mind, he didn't see Cassandra and Max as he intended to, instead he showered and changed his clothes and went for a run atiu d the mansion, the run will help keep his mind focused and straight, he ran till he was out of breath and had to walk all the way back. When he got inside he slumped in the chair and signaled for the maid to get him a cold refreshing drink.“Do you want to kill yourself by running that long?, I saw you when you started you know, I just didn't imagine you would go that far,you do not have to stress yourself like that”. Cassandra entered and sat beside him.“Where is he?” Jake asked referring to their grandfather.He's resting inside now, he was just putting up all along, but he is really tired and needs to rest so I took him to a room, he seemed familiar with this pla

Their grandfather who had been quiet all along finally spoke up, “My dear child, you don't have to blame yourself for what happened, we were more than happy to partake in your joyous moment, I'm sure my dear wife does not regret it one bit, and would give anything to attend any celebration of yours, for years after we stayed away from the McPherson's because of Tessa's death, we still kept our ears opened for any information about you both, we didn't lose hope entirely, my wife would always encourage me and together we waited. When Jake became chairman we were aware of it but decided to give him time to adjust instead of throwing the big news at him that we are his grandparents, and knowing Robinson he would have declined us coming close to you both, he would have been angry as we did not help look for you both, but it wasn't easy on us, we lost the only daughter and child we had, there was no we could have been comforted, we were jealous of him at the same time, which was wrong, he s

Tyler gave Jake a wicked smile as he walked out of the prison building, “I should have told you that I would not stay in this hell hole for long, but that would have spoiled all the fun, did you enjoy the show that my brother put up?”.Jake was quiet as he opened the back seat for Tyler to enter, he took all of his restraint not to punch Tyler in the day, or rip his head out from his neck, as he started the car out of the driveway, “how is Aiden your brother, isn't he Fred McCarthy's brother”.“Oh Jake, you never learn,I always thought you were wise and had some kind of reserve for you,but you just proved me wrong, were you thinking that he is doing it juy to get revenge on Fred,heck no, we don't care about that guy at all,he was just a sacrificial lamb, made to stake out his neck for us, but he was useful while alive, I think that is the only reason I will miss him, before I forget,my brother told me that you have destroyed all evidence against yourself, so we don't have anything aga
