The Heir's Redemption Chapter seventy seven
It has been 71 hours since the message was delivered. Pete was nowhere to be found and Chris hadn't slept a wink. Potter knew all too well what his absence from the board meant and so did everyone else. The law made it forbidden for the messenger to stay away from the table for so long, especially when there was an urgent letter to be read. But Pete was not careless, he was diligent and he certainly was well-informed. From what the housekeeper had said, Pete did not just leave his home, he was being called out and Chris was dying to find out who made that call. Tugging at his tie, Chris stifled a yawn and spun on the swivel chair. He had his laptop on and his phone was blinking. He'd called all the investigators he knew and none had answers for him yet, he was running out of time. There was a tap on his door and Chris jerked out of his seat, Evans walked in and he sighed in disappointment. "And what is this I hear about your grandfather missing?" He asked curiously. "I guess

Christian smirked at Hogan who sat there, his face a mask of fury, his jaw clenched and his eyes red. Once again, he'd been outsmarted. "I told you that seat wasn't yours, and never will be." He whispered across to him. Hogan sneered at him but could not say anything. "It's still within the day, am I right?" Pete asked the spokesman of the Orbit. The thin man nodded, obviously the day wasn't over. Evans smiled at Chris, giving him a thumbs up for how he'd managed to salvage the situation before Hogan was pronounced the new messenger. Pete looked a little worn out, the dark bags under his eyes told the story of insomnia and stress. Although still standing strong with his chin up, one could see that the old man was far from fit. "And why did you leave the board waiting for too long?" A member of the orbit asked. Chris sneered and rose, about to point out how insensitive that was, but Pete stopped him with a finger and decided he'd answer that. "I just received your letter, by th
The Heir's Redemption Chapter seventy nine
Silence filled the room at the statement. Everyone knew that the Robinson company was exclusive, the Robinson dynasty was built on blood ties and no one who was not a member of the family through blood or marriage was allowed to ever be on the executive board or own shares. Evans was stunned at Christian's guts. He leaned forward and tried to speak with him but Christian ignored him. "You wouldn't dare." The Orbit said. "Watch me," Chris replied. The orbit glared at him but Chris wasn't intimidated, he was ready for the meeting and he wanted to change the order of the family for good. "There is a law that__" Pete began. "But that law is unwritten and it doesn't apply, aren't we always to work according to the constitution of the family?" He interrupted swiftly. "A law is a law!" The orbit snapped. Chris nodded at him sarcastically, "I do not know any law that ain't in the constitution." He stated firmly, "And as the council that you are, you should know better than going agains

Chris had not returned home since the meeting at the board. Potter had convinced him - as he usually did - not to sleep at his apartment and for once, he agreed with the old man. At the hotel, Chris made several calls, first to his investigator to identify what had led to Pete's kidnap but still, they had no information that could give him a lead. "I'm afraid it's a dead end, we could not find any fingerprints, no hair, nothing, it seems like they knew we were coming and they packed up real good." The investigator said. Chris nodded, he knew it was chasing the shadows but he needed something to pin on the Jupiter and take him down once and for all."How about the Orbit? Anything?" He asked. The investigator laughed, "It's impossible to chase the wind, we can't find anything on them, let it go." The man said, Chris hung up without another word. He'd quickly realized that not one member of the family would be on his side with his revenge mission, but he hadn't expected them to. He d

Evans stood with Christian in the living room after his confession. His eyes were everywhere but on his face, he could not stand him but what he didn't know was that Chris had known it many years ago, even before he went into exile. "I'm sorry I couldn't speak up many years ago, I...I was told to do what was right for the family." He said meekly. "I know," Chris replied. Evans shook his head, "I should have known better, I...I shouldn't have lied to you, but I had my hands tied." He explained. "It's okay, Evans, I've always known you're not my father." He replied. Evans stared at him with wide eyes and he nodded. "Many years ago, I stumbled on a conversation that I wasn't supposed to hear, I found out then that you weren't my dad but his twin," Chris explained. Evans nodded, his eyes cast down. He was ashamed that Chris had been in the know all these while he'd been playing fake dad. "I guess this is a lot like the Melissa case, I was going to tell you, I just didn't kn
The Heir's Redemption Chapter eighty two
Chris arrived at Potter's house without any notice. He banged on the front door and the housekeeper let him in. With a hiss, he managed to walk to the couch and plop down. "Hello, sir, what can I get you? I don't think my master was expecting..." "Call me Potter." He groaned the woman blinked at him in confusion, "Now." He added and the woman nodded and went off. Chris lifted his shirt which was now ruined with dirt and grim. His ribcage was a mess, the pain was excruciating and the bruises were already forming. "What's going on?" Potter asked as he came into the living room. He saw him on the couch in pain and acted quickly, he pulled out the cushions and made him lie back, then he asked the maid to bring some ointment and a kit from the first aid box. "I don't think this was an accident." He said. "It can be called that too, I guess." Chris replied and as he saw the older man frown, he added, "I jumped down from my window." "The storey building?" Potter asked in shock. Chris
The Heir's Redemption Chapter eighty three
In a place very far away, a mysterious man is seated on a large chair, his face unidentifiable in the dark room. He turned to the man on his left and scolded him, "You are incompetent! All you had to do was get the documents, you have failed me yet again." He snapped. The man bowed in shame and could not say anything in defense. "Get out of my face!" The mysterious man yelled and the man left his side into the inner room. "I need answers! Who has answers for me?" He snapped and everyone in the room kept silent, no one could talk. They all had failed to do anything to prevent the doom that was upon their master. "What if we use the past against him?" One of the guards asked. The mysterious man nodded and asked him to explain how that would happen. "How do you think we do that?" He asked. "He's been blackmailed a few times, he has several records with a private investigator, his ex-wife, and secretary, even the partner of the Hilton Empire was on to him too, he managed
The Heir's Redemption Chapter eighty four
Pete gasped as he saw the face of his nemesis in the flesh. Although she was almost unrecognizable, the fire had scarred her so badly that her face reconstruction surgery left her looking like an entirely new person, but her eyes were the same, the same cold gray orbs that spoke of fire and revenge. "You're the Jupiter?" He asked and the woman didn't respond, she simply walked to the seat that had been vacant for several years and took her place. The two men that flanked her walked toward her too and replaced the orbit. She nodded to her vicious council, ordering them to leave, there was no use for them since she was there now. "You've been looking for me badly, boy." She said to Chris who was still too surprised to speak. But then again, it wasn't just him, everyone on the table was awed at the discovery that the feared Jupiter was a woman in a tight red skirt and a large fancy hat. "Let me guess, you all can't speak now, can you?" She asked with an amused smile. "Sonya Alberto?

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
