The Billionaire's Retribution Chapter 107
A FLASHBACK Alex strottered into his home, feeling downcast. His father had sent him a very demeaning message and it hurt him terribly that he was seen as a betrayal.by his own father. His father, Harold, was still up and reading papers in the living room when he walked in. He honestly wanted to walk in ast him without saying a word to him but he suddenly felt an urge to show some respect to the man who gave him life. “Hey Dad,” he called out and was about to pass through. “Forty years…,” Harold began and Alex gradually halted to hear what his father had to say. “Forty years was what it took me to finally build something I was gonna be proud of. Most of my mates had found their footings as early as their thirties but I did not find mine till I was in my sixties.” “What has that got to do with anything, Dad?” Alex interrupted, nonchalantly folding his arms on his chest. “You sound silly to really ask me that. For what it's worth, I started this company with my blood and I wi

Once they got back to Juliana's home, she got down from the car and slammed the door so hard showing him her rage.She ran up to her house.“Julie baby,” Alex ran after her, calling on her to stop.“I am so sorry babe. I really am sorry. I didn't mean to ride your joy in that manner. I mean, I trust you to do what is right. But I am just having a difficult time with my father. He wants me to inherit the conglomerate but I have rejected it for years because I know what it is all about and I want a different path for myself and my future family.”His voice was deep and his eyes were filled with pain as he spoke.Juliana's heart went out to him and she reached out to touch his face.“I understand you baby and I will not let you down. Okay? I won't let your father drag you into something that you are not ready for. I will stand by you on your decision.”Those words brought so much peace to Alex and he pulled her in and kissed her fervently, lifting her into his arms and into her home wher

“He is thinking of Marco or Marcus taking over from him,” she squeaked, walking out of his presence.Alex rushed to her and gripped her shoulders, shaking her vigorously.“What in the Lord's name is wrong with you, Juliana?” He raged at her. She too was becoming increasingly infuriated and she yelled back at him.“Stop it! You are hurting me, Alex. What is wrong with you too? My father in-law has asked me for a favour, am I expected to reject that request?” She blurted at him and Alex could not hold himself, he slapped her across her face.“You betrayed me!” He yelled. “This was why you married me in the first place. You always wanted this, right?” He was fuming.Juliana held her face and stared at him with disbelief etched on her face. She could not believe that he would strike her like that because of a case that could be easily handled.“You just laid your hands on me, Alex!” She yelled, dragging him by the collar of his shirt.“You have become a wild woman and I promise you I will

Marcus dropped the call and pushed his chair back, standing up hastily.“What exactly does he want?” Marcus asked himself as he gathered his things and began to make his way home.As soon as he arrived home and walked into the mansion, he was stunned to mind his look-alike seated with exuding confidence on a chair with his legs crossed.The way he was seated caused Marcus to feel a bit worried about his presence.“What are you doing here?” He asked, dropping his bag on the dining table and walking up to him to get a clearer view of Marco's face.“Hmm… we really do look alike,” Marco said, smiling without concern for Marcus's look of displeasure. “Aren't you happy to see me, Marcus? Your only surviving family member?”Marcus scoffed at him and shook his head, trying to suppress the anger that was growing inside of him.“You still haven't told me what you are doing here, Marco,” Marcus insisted, gazing at him with a haughty look of displeasure.Marcus sustained that gaze for a short whi

Richard could not hold in anymore of the ridiculous character that Marco was putting up, so he went out of the living room, leaving Marco and Marcus all alone since they wanted to bond as brothers. He was beginning to feel unwanted.“Yes, run along betrayal,” Marco jested him as he went up the stairs and disappeared into the corridors.“You really need to stop saying those cruel things to Uncle Richard, he has been there for me, Marco. He was there when you and mother turned you backs on me because you both wanted the company so badly.”Marci laughed hysterically. “Is that the narrative the fool has made you believe? Such a poor view!” Marco sneered. “He has always had his eyes on the Black card and this was why he agreed to take you when grandfather gave him that advice.”His eyes were darkened and Marcus was confused at the words that he spewed so confidently.“Look, you need to understand that you and I may not work out with the way you go about life. I have heard so much about mo

As the sun began to rise over the city, casting a golden glow on the streets, Clara and her team stood outside the docks, their breaths still heavy from the fight. With Magnus apprehended and his henchmen scattered, the sense of victory was palpable.“Is it really over?” Mara asked, her eyes reflecting the morning light.“Feels like it,” Clara replied, a cautious smile creeping onto her face. “We’ve fought too hard for this to slip away now.”Marcus stepped forward, pulling out his phone to call the authorities. “They’ll want to take Magnus into custody. This time, he won’t be able to wriggle his way out of it.”As the police sirens wailed in the distance, a mixture of relief and anticipation washed over the group. Clara could hardly believe how far they had come since they had first banded together to confront the darkness in their city.In the following days, word spread about Magnus's defeat and the disbandment of his criminal network. The community began to breathe a sigh of relie

Together, they had become a force to be reckoned with, as they shared a collective nod, a silent agreement that they were all in this together. Marcus carefully jimmied the lock open. The door creaked as it swung inward, revealing a dimly lit corridor lined with rusted machinery and crates.“Stay quiet,” Marcus whispered, leading the way with Clara right behind him. They moved in a tight formation, with Mara and Eli covering the rear.As they ventured deeper into the warehouse, the sounds of muffled voices began to filter through the walls. Clara’s heart raced—this was it. They were getting closer to the action.“Let’s split up,” Marcus suggested, peeking around a corner. “Mara, you take the left side. Clara, you and Eli cover the right. We’ll converge at the main room in the center.”“Got it,” Clara replied, feeling a rush of adrenaline. She and Eli moved stealthily down the right corridor, keeping low and watching for any signs of movement.The voices grew louder as they approached

.“Are we really done with Magnus?” Eli asked, stretching as he joined Clara, his face still a mix of exhaustion and disbelief.“Only for now,” Clara replied, glancing at Marcus and Mara, who were going over the plans for their next move. “But it feels good to know we stood up to him. He won’t be back anytime soon.”Marcus looked up, a thoughtful expression on his face. “We need to regroup and figure out what’s next. Magnus may be in custody, but we know he has allies. We can’t let our guard down.”Mara nodded in agreement. “And we need to find out what else he was planning. There’s got to be more to it than just controlling the city through fear.”“Right,” Clara said, her mind racing with the possibilities. “Let’s start by gathering any information we can. We need to dig deeper into his operations.”As the day unfolded, they began strategizing. Clara took charge, flipping through notes and files they had collected over time. “We need to hit his connections hard. If we can disrupt the

Eli groaned but pushed himself up, adrenaline surging through him despite the throbbing pain in his ribs. “I’m good,” he gasped, his eyes darting to the downed guard. “Let’s finish this!”“Good,” Marcus said, his breath steadying as he turned back to the entrance, where the chaos was still unfolding. “Clara, stick close to me. Eli, take the rear. We need to find a way to secure this place before Magnus decides to make an appearance.”“Right!” Clara replied, determination etched on her face. Together, they charged further into the heart of the factory, the sound of the fireworks still booming outside, providing a cacophony that masked their movements.As they navigated through the maze of machinery and crates, the atmosphere grew thicker with tension. Clara’s instincts kicked in, and she felt a sense of urgency pushing her forward. They needed to find Magnus and stop him before he could mobilize his men.“Where do you think he is?” Mara whispered, glancing around at the shadows that lo

As the group approached the factory, the moonlight cast eerie shadows over the crumbling walls. They could see the faint outline of guards patrolling the perimeter, their silhouettes shifting in the dim light. Clara felt her heart race, every instinct in her body screaming that they were heading into danger. Yet, beneath that fear was a resolute determination to confront Magnus and end this once and for all.“Okay, remember the plan,” Marcus whispered, his voice steady despite the tension. “Mara and Eli, you’ll set off the fireworks on the east side while Clara and I create a distraction on the north entrance.”“Got it,” Mara replied, glancing at Eli, who nodded in agreement.As they moved into position, Clara could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on her. She glanced at Marcus, who was scanning the area with a focused intensity. “Are you ready for this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“I have to be,” he replied, determination flashing in his eyes. “For everyon

“I still can’t believe Magnus is out there,” Clara said, pacing the small room, her brow furrowed with concern. “He’s not the type to back down easily.”Marcus leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw set in determination. “He’ll come back. We need to prepare for whatever he’s planning. We can’t underestimate him again.”Mara, sitting on a makeshift bench, rubbed her temples, still feeling the tension from the fight. “What if he tries to retaliate against us personally? He knows who we are now.”Eli, leaning against the table, chimed in. “We need to gather intel on his operations. If we know where he’s hiding or what he’s planning, we can strike first.”“Good idea,” Marcus replied, his mind racing with possibilities. “But how do we find him? He has a network, and we’re just a small team.”Just then, Clara’s phone buzzed, breaking the tension in the air. She glanced at the screen, her expression shifting from concern to curiosity. “It’s a text from a contact I haven’t heard from

With the remaining henchmen falling one by one, it became clear that the tide was turning. The cacophony of chaos seemed to intensify, but Marcus’s focus sharpened on Magnus, who was now cornered against the wall, his bravado fading.“Looks like your little party is crashing down, Magnus,” Marcus taunted, stepping closer, his fists clenched.Magnus glared, anger burning in his eyes. “You think this is over? You have no idea what you’re dealing with!”“Maybe not, but I know what I’m going to do next,” Marcus said, his voice low and threatening. He motioned to Eli, who nodded and moved to flank Magnus.Suddenly, Magnus lunged toward a nearby table, grabbing a glass bottle and swinging it at Marcus. The glass shattered against the wall just inches from Marcus’s head.“Careful!” Marcus shouted, ducking just in time.Mara, ever vigilant, charged forward again, this time aiming a solid punch directly at Magnus’s jaw. The force of her hit sent him staggering backward. “You won’t get away thi

The days that followed the ambush were a blur of activity for Marcus, Mara, Clara, and Eli. Each moment was filled with tension, anticipation, and the weight of what lay ahead. They meticulously planned their counterattack against Magnus and his henchmen, determined to turn the tables and regain control of their lives.The small, dimly lit warehouse they had chosen as their temporary headquarters buzzed with energy as they gathered around a large table cluttered with maps, photos, and notes. Marcus pointed at a large map of the city spread out before them.“Alright, here’s the plan,” he began, his voice steady and authoritative. “We know that Magnus operates out of several locations, but we believe he’s using this old warehouse on the outskirts of town as his base of operations.”Clara leaned closer, her finger tracing a route on the map. “If we can get the jump on them here, we can cut off any escape routes they might have. It’s a perfect setup for an ambush.”“Exactly,” Marcus agree
