The Abandoned Trillionaire

Chapter 9

Walking down the door were Mr Thomas and Mrs Lisa Thomas.

"Where did you go this morning?"

The voice of Mrs Lisa was even more detached than her husband's.

The sun was up as their shadow cast an intimidating shadow over Stiles who was still on the base of the stairs holding his blood-filled nose.

He wasn't afraid anymore, he was rather sorry for the couples as they still didn't realise that just with one call, he would make them and their stupid worth go away.

Touching his pocket, Stiles could feel his satellite phone and his premium elite card that had access to billions of dollars.

The Thomas's weren't even worth up to 0.1% of the amount of the elite card in his pocket.

But all in a bid to not draw attention to himself, Stiles had to maintain his usual low-life appearance and behaviour.

"You left this house without telling me or my husband where you were going."

As Stiles stood up to explain himself and how he had seen Raya on his way out in the morning, to his greatest shock, Mrs Lisa Thomas heaved her shoe at him.

Immediately Raya appeared from nowhere, diving in, she took a direct hit of the shoe on her stomach.

"What are you doing?!"

"Why would you do that Raya?!"

Mr Thomas and his wife screamed almost immediately.

Their eyes widened in disbelief and anxiety.

As Raya fell backwards, Stiles immediately rushed in and broke her fall.

Raya immediately stood up and stared intently at her parents, her eyes blazing in anger.

Raya held her stomach where she had taken that direct hit, she managed not to break down in front of everyone.

"Raya!"

"We asked you a question, do you want your mom to kill you accidentally?!"

Mr Thomas immediately yelled, his heart thumping faster than usual.

"What's the meaning of this madness?"

Mrs Lisa Thomas added as she held her heart and breathed out loudly.

The situation was intense, Stiles was rather more confused than everyone there.

He was yet to truly understand the motive of Raya in the action she just displayed.

"Mom, Dad… listen to me, before you both will kill Stiles, you have to kill me and bury me first."

Her voice was laced with a mixture of authority and anger as she stared angrily at her mom and dad.

"Raya please stop talking to your parents like that because of a poor brat like me."

Stiles said sarcastically without making any face contact with Mr Thomas and Mrs Lisa Thomas.

Mr Thomas immediately stepped closer to them as Raya was still shielding Stiles behind her.

"Raya, come here now!" Mr Thomas yelled.

"Raya, are you out of your mind?"

"Have you gone nuts?"

"What could you, my daughter, be doing with this filthy, low-life nobody?"

"It's a good thing I haven't fully finalised his adoption papers for reasons best known to me and your mom."

"Do you even see how he is dressed up in that Halloween costume he calls a dress."

Mr Thomas said mockingly as he and his wife laughed out loud.

"C'mon Raya, listen to Daddy, you have a future with Antonio Henry, you can afford to settle down with this thing that we pick up from the local orphanage."

Mrs Lisa Thomas added as she held her nose up in disgust.

"The Henry's are more powerful and influential than we are, we need you to marry Antonio Henry the only heir to the great Henry's empire."

"Your marriage to him will help us unite both our families and build a super business empire."

As Mr Thomas was about to add more to the reasons why Raya should marry Antonio Henry, Raya immediately interjected.

"Mom, Dad, I hate Antonio Henry, it's Stiles I want to be with, and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it."

Raya immediately yelled as she dashed out and jumped into her brand new Bugatti Mistral and zoomed off the mansion.

Stiles stared at her as she drove off into the streets.

Mr Thomas immediately jumped down the stairs and hopped into his Rolls-Royce.

"Follow my daughter now!"

He yelled at his driver who immediately followed Raya.

Mrs Lisa Thomas immediately rushed Stiles and hooked him by his shirt.

"What have you done to my daughter?"

"So this has been your evil scheme all these years."

"You plan to turn my daughter against us?"

Stiles just stared at the whole thing in bewilderment, he was just as confused as Mrs Lisa.

"Ma, I'm as confused as you on this."

Stiles finally spoke as Mrs Lisa was still shaking him vehemently.

As the commotion between Stiles and Mrs Lisa Thomas continued, his Satellite phone immediately beeped.

Stiles' demeanour immediately went from confusion to a mixture of trepidation and anxiety.

"What's that sound?"

Mrs Lisa Thomas asked as she stared at the pocket of Stiles.

"Ma, it's nothing…"

Stiles immediately said, his voice barely above whispers as he stared into the eyes of Mrs Lisa.

"It's this new wristband I won off a bet with some dudes down the street."

Stiles said as he showed Mrs Lisa Thomas the wristband.

Moments later, Stiles is walking to his room happy that Mrs Lisa had bought his coverup story.

As he walked through Raya's room, his eyes widened in surprise as her door was wide open.

"Raya, are you in?"

"I thought you had run off earlier."

Stiles said, his voice barely above whispers as he walked into her room.

Pacing around he walked towards the door as he was about to close the door and walk away, his eyes caught something.

Something he should never have seen in the first place.

Stiles' eyes widened in disbelief and trepidation as he stared at pictures of himself and Jonathan Jacobs at the Lex suites lying on Raya's bed.

He immediately picked up the

pictures, his hands were quaky, and beads of sweat built down his cheek.

"What is really going on here?"

"Who really are you, Raya Thomas?"
