The Heir's Redemption Chapter hundred forty four
The rest of the night was not peaceful for Christian Robinson. He struggled to sleep and when he finally did, he was plagued with nasty nightmares about what was wrong with Shirley, the girl with the ocean eyes he'd just met. Morning couldn't come fast enough and when it was daylight, Christian got out of bed quickly. He missed two calls from Potter and one from Evans but he wasn't eager to call back. He didn't want to talk to them if all they had to do was remind him of the sickening pressure he was under. He had already gotten information that Jupiter was setting up meetings and trying to get the deal too. Otec was genuinely not willing to partner with them but Chris knew it was only a matter of time before she got through to someone and was able to have that deal. If that happened, it would mean he was off the family and this time there would be no reinstatement. Christian could still recall the feeling of hopelessness and worthlessness he'd felt in the first few months of his e

The entire town seemed to think that Ben was so dangerous they couldn't risk getting on his bad side. They all either pretended not to know him at all while few said they couldn't place where he lived. Karen was out of the question; she had made good on her promise and reported him to the police. Although he hadn't been called or any attempt made at arresting him, there was now a police van that patrolled the old woman's front yard. Christian Robinson knew that he couldn't stand another night of torture, he had to find Ben as soon as possible, there was no way he could sleep easy knowing that Shirley was in trouble and she'd not just reached out to him but told him who had taken her - or so he believed. Deep down, Christian knew what the B meant, but he couldn't just take the alphabet to the police and order that Ben be arrested, it meant nothing, could have been a mistaken text to him, or it could be the beginning of a full sentence she never got to finish, it could have been anyt

Christian looked at the address that Ken had scribbled on the paper with a frown on his face. He turned to search for Ken and already the man had gone, gotten into a cab the moment he handed him that paper. Christian couldn't even blame the man for trying to be careful, he was out there less than fifteen minutes and already everyone was staring at him like he was some fugitive or worse. "Fucking small town, I hate this place!" Christian swore loudly under his breath as he drove away and then on his way, he made a turn and returned the same way he'd come. Ken said Ben was at a barber's shop in town. He didn't say which but Christian figured he'd start by checking the first one he'd passed just at the edge of town. A few minutes later, he arrived at the place and noticed that it had just been opened, the sign was still flipped as closed but someone was within, pulling out chairs and parting the curtains. Christian stepped in and the doorbell above him rang, immediately, he saw the po
The Heir's Redemption Chapter hundred forty seven
The men closed in on him and Chris could see the wicked gleam in their eyes. They knew he was a stranger and they were suspicious of him, thinking he'd come to ruin their establishment. "We see cops come here all too often and sometimes they send in snitches like you, but guess what?" The skinny guy asked as he drew closer to him, "If any rat gets in here, we make sure they don't crawl out alive," he sneered and then threw a punch at Chris. Chris dodged and quickly bent down, missing another punch before circling his legs right under him and the man lost balance and fell flat on the floor. "How dare you come in here and lay hands on our__" one of the rough-looking guys snarled and lifted his bat against Chris but at that moment, a man called out to them from behind, telling them to lower their weapons. "I think I know this bastard, he's here for me," Ben said as he came out from behind the shop which looked more or less like a junkyard. "Isn't that right, city boy? I know you came

Chris looked unaffected as Ben began to brag about all the fancy ways he would deal with him before his men had their chance. "You just don't know who you are dealing with, do you? I told you earlier, that not even the best of cops can find me, we all aren't afraid of cops, are we?" Ben asked and turned to his men who all laughed and snorted. "We fucking pay the cops!" One of them bellowed and the rest laughed out loud, "We feed them with crack to keep them loyal!" Another snarled and the rest joined in. Ben smiled at all that his thugs said, "That's a way of saying that we will dig your grave right behind this house because no one will be coming for your dead body, no one," he sneered and then leaned in to whisper, "You won't be the first men buried here." Chris still didn't flinch at the statement but he couldn't help scanning the entire land with his eyes. It was uneven, some of the ground bare and some with grasses. They might have dug a few shallow graves like he said. "Go a

Christian watched as the first SUV door flung open on all sides and three men stepped out from the backseat, all dressed in black. He was surprised, he hadn't called anyone and he knew what his investigators looked like, that wasn't them. "I asked, who the fuck are you!" Ben growled again but the men that had just arrived didn't reply to that, instead, they all came to the porch and attempted to take Chris but some of the thugs got in their way and even Chris wasn't so eager to follow. He couldn't tell who it was and Shirley was involved, he had to ensure her safety first. "Oh my God, what is going on?" Shirley mumbled behind him, she was still shaking like a leaf but Christian assured her that everything would be fine. "Take one more step and you won't get out of here alive!" Ben snapped. All these thugs were uncertain, they looked ready to flee but since their boss wasn't moving an inch, they stood their ground, although shakily. "Get out of here, young man, do it while you stil

Shirley sat quietly as he got her to a restaurant first and ordered her a whole box of pizza, some salad, and a plate of beef stew. "I can't have all of this, you know I won't finish it," she said, blushing as she stuffed her face with the pizza. Chris knew she had quite an appetite and she'd been with Ben for some days, meaning she hadn't eaten well at all, she must have been starving. “Don't worry, you eat what you can and leave the leftovers." He said and she nodded. He looked over and she didn't look that traumatized. After reporting him at the station - her idea, he got her some fresh clothes and they both arrived at the fanciest restaurant in the small town and Christian treated her to a nice meal. "Thank you so much, Christian, I'm in your debt," she said, her beautiful eyes lowered. Christian shook his head, "I don't think so, I think I'm paying a debt I've owed for so long." He replied. Shirley froze and looked up at him with wide eyes, "You remember?" She asked and he n

Christian stopped right in his tracks, he wasn't sure he'd heard him right, or maybe she meant something else. "Did you say, speak with Orton? As in a phone call?" He asked. Shirley shook her head, looked around the restaurant, and then nodded outside, signaling to him that she didn't want to say anything while they were still around other people. Christian quietly took her outside and they both got into the car before she sighed and turned to him, "This might sound crazy but I think Orton meets her in there." She said, As he looked at her strangely, she sighed and tried to explain, "I don't understand it either, I just know she gets in there a couple of times and then doesn't come out almost all day, she locks the door behind her and doesn't let anyone in." "I don't understand you, you think she...invites Orton to the pub and they meet? How would he get it and no one has ever seen him? The pub just has two entrances and both aren't hidden, how would he get in and out and never be

Sonya couldn't believe her eyes, she gasped and that was how she fell into the orbit who was right behind her. One of them caught her swiftly and everyone quickly called for the company doctor. Chris remained calm. She was just in shock and would no doubt be revived with a little air and water. He could only imagine what it felt like to be thrown down after such years in power. "Where have you been, son?" Pa Pete asked and Julius only smiled. He was a spitting image of his twin, Evans Robinson and he didn't look like the years had treated him badly at all. Some of the men on the table who knew that their hands were stained and they'd been working with Sonya to condemn Christian, all looked down in shame because they could face him or Julius. "Now that you're back, what will be the fate of the executive board?" One of them mustered the courage to ask. But that wasn't really what he meant and everyone could tell. He was trying to find out what Julius would do to them that had gotten

Evans was a little shaky as the man took them to the inner recess of the tunnel and it became dark. Christian could still remember the way to Orton and he certainly could tell that it wasn't the same route they were being taken. "What's going on? Aren't we meeting with Orton anymore?" He asked and the man simply looked at them without saying anything. Christian swallowed nervously but quietly followed him until they got to a part of the tunnel where the light became brighter and they could see a glass room in the distance. Right through the glass sat an old man at a desk, Orton. "While I still breathe," Evans said as he entered the glass cave. "I never thought I'd see you after so many years, I could swear you vowed never to see the Robinson family again." Orton looked at them quietly and then offered them both the double-seated couch, asking if they needed a strong Irish coffee. "We'll be needing more than a cup of coffee from you," Evans replied with a serious face. He pulled ou

Evans had a plan and that plan was foolproof - or so they both believed. Right there in the living room, Christian showed the token to Evans and after he stared at it in awe, he said it would take them right to Berlin. They arrived at the small town the next day. Evans was in the front seat and Christian was in the driver's seat. His face was twisted in an ugly frown. "I told you to let Potter drive us, he's more mature on the wheel, we almost had an accident on the way here, I hate to think what will happen as we return," Evans said as he stepped out of the vehicle. "I hate this place, I could almost swear nothing would ever bring me back here," he spat angrily. Evans laughed at him, "Never say never, my son, life can be a rollercoaster sometimes," he said. Christian wiped at his head, a bead of perspiration had formed from the warm air. He pulled off his sunglasses and stared at the small pub that still stood in the distance. Karen was still in business and that only meant one t

It was four days after the legendary meeting at the Robinson lobby. Christian hadn't shown up at the company for that long. It made Jupiter happy that one thing she'd hoped for had worked out - Christian was too embarrassed to come back out. That fateful afternoon, Christian was at the Robinson estate after such a long time. If there was ever going to be a time he needed Evans' help, it was then. Arriving at the door, it was Melissa who welcomed him in and he nodded at her mutely and crossed the threshold. "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Christian," Melissa said as she ushered him in. Christian didn't say anything still. He didn't want to talk to her, he was in too sore a mood too. "I know what...how it went last time was not ideal. I know you trusted me with...well, I disappointed you and tried to cause a rift between you and Evans, I'm sorry," she said. Christian again simply nodded. Melissa sighed, she looked remorseful. She was dressed in a sheer green gown and shaw

Sonya did not look so confident anymore, her weak bones trembled and she quickly grabbed onto the desk for support. Christian still wore a smirk on his face as his grandfather, Pa Pete looked warily at the document on the desk."You got the deal?" He asked, his tone disbelieving. Christian did not reply, at least not verbally, he remained standing with a smile on his face. "This is ridiculous!" Sonya yelled, "There is no way this boy could secure a deal with Otec, there is also no way in hell that he knows Orton Berlin," she snapped. Christian dipped his hands into his breast pocket and retrieved the token that Orton had given to him, he did not bother handing it to her but simply slammed it on the table. With shaky wrinkled hands, Sonya picked up the token, she turned pale, her eyes wide in shock. "But how! I have been dying to meet this man all my life, how could you get the Supreme token?" Sonya asked, still in disbelief. "You are not the only one that can weasel your way into p

Sonya took the flowers and had half the mind to toss it in his face but she had to reign in her temper. She instead snatched it up aggressively and tossed it at one of the Orbits who held it like it burned. "What do you have to say concerning the challenge you called, Christian? Are you having a change of heart?" She asked and immediately one of the board members said loudly, "He can't do that! The entire board knows about it and we won't allow such cowardice!" The man snapped. "Who said anything about backing out?" Christian asked and the man began to stammer foolishly before sitting down. Jupiter was pleased with the way they all treated Chris, everyone was attacking him. "Will we all let him speak?" Pete snapped, his voice rising above the others. Christian rose and nodded at the roses he'd just gifted Sonya, "I picked those out myself, it's a shame you won't even appreciate it," he said and Sonya rolled her eyes, "I didn't recall asking you for any flowers, Chris, last I checke

Pa Pete was hesitant to begin the proceedings of the meeting and everyone on the table noticed, especially Chris who was just right beside him.Sonya must have noticed too because she smiled and said mockingly, "Are your feet getting heavier for you, Pa Pete? Perhaps it's not just your grandson that needs replacing, you too might be getting a little too old for that seat." Pete ignored her and looked at Christian who calmly nodded at him, a silent approval to commence the meeting. There was no need to wait, it wouldn't change the outcome of the meeting anyway. The orbits were right behind Jupiter, all six of them stood like rods, stuff, unyielding, with their hands crossed. Pete looked at them scornfully and then cleared his throat a little too loud. "Is there something you have to say? We don't have all day, Pete." Sonya said, her lips still bearing the same smile she'd exited the vehicle with that morning. "I think we all know what I'm about to say," Pete said, looking at member

Hope is a formidable force, even a single ray can light up the darkest abyss. Christian Robinson could attest to this as he woke up that morning, feeling a lot better than he'd slept. He had a feeling that the world was aligning right where it ought to be and he was at the helm of it all - where he'd always wanted. "Sir, your suit just arrived," his servant bowed as he entered the room. Christian hadn't heard him knock but he was sure he had, he'd no doubt been too lost in thought to hear. "Thank you, I'll be right out." He replied and the man nodded as he left. He looked again at the mirror and smirked, his crisp white shirt was tucked beautifully into his black trousers, and his shoe just a little shiny. He'd called back his servants the previous evening just as he'd gotten that token from Berlin. He had a feeling his life was about to change for good, he had a gut feeling. Christian left the room and took the suit from the servant as he got to his car - he'd decided he was dri

The exit of the tunnel led to a small boutique that was on the outskirts of town, close to where the train station was. As he climbed up to the stairwell and pushed the door open, he noticed that no one seemed interested in him even though they'd seen him crawl out of the ground. The receptionist at the desk simply looked at him blankly as he walked out the door and Christian figured that the establishment belonged to Orton, a way of making the tunnel he'd made. It was a brilliant idea, there was no way someone could guess that there was an entire world down there, an entire company. Chris could not get to his car that morning, he'd barely been able to get home in time for a change of outfit before he headed down to Otec - again. This was his second time parked outside the gigantic building and he didn't fail to marvel at the beauty of it all. He sighed as he pulled out the proposal from his dashboard and clutched the token that Orton had given him firmly in his grip. Coming down
