The Heir's Redemption Chapter sixty nine
The cigar fumes made Christian a little uncomfortable but he sat still as the man puffed it generously up in the sky. The cold air was warming up with the smoke and Chris couldn't complain. Chris took a puff here and there but on paper, he'd quit many years ago, unfortunately, many hadn't, and good thing he didn't expect everyone else to. "What brings you to my home?" He asked Jefferson who sat on the armchair, his legs crossed at the table. "I had to come to show you that I know where you live, is that enough reason?" Jefferson asked. Chris shrugged, "Where I live is not a secret, it has never been," he replied. "Then why have you been hiding out at the hotel since you returned?" He asked with a smirk. "It was much more comfortable, and easy until you showed up in my hotel room uninvited and I had to think of how incompetent the entire establishment was, letting a stranger in." He replied. Jefferson finally laughed, he smashed the butt of the cigar and put it out completely on

Potter bowed slowly and escorted Christian to the car. He opened the limousine and shut the door as he got in. "Good evening sir, you look great as usual." Potter complimented. "I might have to ask who tailored such a fine tux, I wouldn't mind saving for a piece too." He joked. "Ahhh, I can have one made just for you, remind me when you need it," Chris said and Potter smiled, thanking him. Chris looked down at his tux and smiled, it was handmade by Celestine himself. It had been a gift, some form of appreciation for his help with Sylvia, he'd never found an occasion worthy enough to wear it to - until tonight. His phone beeped and Chris sighed, he'd received over a dozen calls in the course of the night and rejected a few too. Everyone wanted to get information from the source itself, they were eager to know what he had in mind. Some believed that he would accept to share the seat with Jefferson since that was the only way out, others believed he'd lose the election and leave t

The hush remained even as Jefferson bowed to Chris and began to walk out of the room. "This is madness! Did you threaten him? What did you do to make him do this?" A man on the table yelled. "He didn't do anything, this is what's best for the family," Jefferson said. "What? How would you know what's best for the family, you're a coward who can't even stand a fight, do you have any idea what you have done? What have you lost? We have wasted our support." Another man spat angrily. "I don't remember asking for it." Jefferson retorted, "You had your selfish reasons for voting for me, don't lie about that." Hogan sneered at Chris and rose from his seat, "This is unacceptable! He cannot step down now!" He then turned to Jefferson, "How much did he pay you? What did you give to you?" He asked angrily. There was chaos in the gathering, most men rose and began to argue amongst themselves. All the while, Jefferson stared at with a smile, he knew how greedy the family was and discord was jus

The air was cold, winter was fast approaching. The window was foggy and the thermostat was turned on full blast, still, it didn't make it any warmer, or perhaps, it was the shiver within him.Chris tossed on his bed and finally sat up, he'd been unable to get any sleep and after a full day's fatigue, he was nearly breaking down. Even after the meeting had gone sideways, many shameless men at the table who had openly voted against him tried to weasel their way back into his good graces by sending gifts and congratulatory texts. Chris deleted and rejected all they sent, he knew his foes and he wasn't going to smile with any of them. He jerked up when his phone rang just beside him, breaking the serenity of the morning and his train of thought. The caller ID was unknown and he almost rejected it, believing it would be another sycophant, but he decided to take it and warn whoever it was. "Hello, you better have something aside from a fake congratulatory message to tell me, if so, make

Evans' expression was murderous, he stomped into the house and glared at Chris. "And I have warned you one time too many, Christian, there are people, there are things, there are laws that you don't fuck with." He stated firmly, his voice going even higher. "I didn't know how to tell you, I was only trying to help," Chris said in defense. "Really? Help? You call this mess to help? You can't keep playing the hero, it will bring you and everyone that stands with you down, and that everyone includes me!" Evans said, "Pa Pete has called to inform me of the summoning, how did you get yourself into a fix with the Orbit?" "Wait, what is this about?" Chris asked, he was almost sure that he'd either recognized Luciana or in his usual manner, the information had somehow gotten to him, but at the mention of the Orbit, he knew that Evans was mad for an entirely different reason. "You fucking called me and told me about the messages you have been receiving, what do you think this is about? T

"The Jupiter? That's unbelievable." Chris replied, moving to the door. "I can't talk now, meet me at our rendezvous point ASAP," Jefferson said and hung up. Evans looked at him quizzically, he'd only heard the name but had no idea what they had said. "I won't bother asking who that was, or what it is you're getting yourself into, but it's all stupid and it will bring nothing but regret," Evans warned him yet again. "You have no idea what this is, Evans, you have no idea at all," Chris said, he'd had enough of people trying to stop him, he had to find answers. Every day he spent not fulfilling his purpose was like a nightmare to him, he had to get what he wanted, and he had to smoke out the Jupiter - whoever that was. "Don't play the hero, Chris, don't play the hero for this family that doesn't even appreciate you," Chris snorted, the family was never his focus but if he could free the Robinson family then so he did, but first, he wanted to avenge his father. "Forg

Chris acted immediately when he heard the news from Potter. Jefferson too wanted to see how things would unfold so he got in the car and together they took the short drive to the office. In less than a minute, they walked into the lobby of the Robinson company. Everywhere was quiet as a graveyard, even the receptionist on the desk was shaken, her eyes bulged like she'd seen a ghost. Christian wondered if he was the only one who had never had a brush with the infamous Orbit. "Sir, don't go in there." The receptionist whispered slowly, looking at the double doors that led to the office hallway. Cowardice was not a trait Chris had so despite the warning, he went in, Potter and Jefferson stayed back in the lobby as he walked directly into the conference room. The Orbit, Chris could say that indeed the name was fitting. Seven men stood by the head of the conference table, forming an arch around the Jupiter's sacred seat. They were dressed in white suits, white ties, and white shoes. Ea

The warm water cascaded down his back as he stood under the shower, his mind wandering. His thoughts went to the previous day and he glanced at the letter that now sat on his bedside table.The Orbit had decided for some strange reason to let him off with a warning and rather than take him to the Jupiter directly, they provided a message to him which must be read by Pete. Chris wanted so badly to test open the envelope and look at the content, to read it and know what his fate was, but he knew that would bring even more punishment, he needed answers, not punishments. Chris could tell that Jefferson's spirit had waned a little after he witnessed him being taken away. He could see the fear in the man's eyes as he got into the car and the relief in his eyes as he returned with an envelope. The staff all came out to look and many gasped in shock, never had anyone been taken by the Jupiter and returned in one piece, and certainly not on the same day. Potter had driven him home quietly

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
