The One True Billionaire's Heir Chapter 145
Chapter 145The piercing sounds of owls echoing through the air was the only thing keeping Asher company in the dead of night.By past midnight, the rest of the household had gone asleep but Asher stayed awake - restless. As the minutes slowly crept by, his anger and concern grew stronger while the darkness pressed in on all sides.Today had been too close a call. Today, they'd gotten a good shot at him and something seemed to rip in him a little bit. . But he knew in his soul that it was merely luck that saved him. And maybe a bit of grace since he'd survived loads of other attempts. They were becoming bolder and more brazen in their attempts to end him. Had he really let his guard down ? Not a bit. He'd increased his security as soon as he arrived here because he knew Andrea and his mother were more desperate than ever to get rid of him. And more desperate meant more drastic measures were being applied to take him out.Andrea and his mother had made it crystal clear - they wanted hi

Chapter 146Andrea was having lunch when Gwandon arrived. He tipped his wine glass into his mouth, letting the red liquid have its way. The elevator doors opened just as he set the glass down.“Mr. Gwandon, you are here already”, Andrea said as he stepped into the room. “Mr. Andrea”, Gwandon responded as he set down his small briefcase on the center table.“Care to join me?”“Apologies Mr. Andrea. I prefer to pass”Andrea seemed to pause for a moment before he smiled - the kind of smile that made you feel uncomfortable - the kind of smile Gwandon found funny.Andrea rose from the table where he was seated. One of the bodyguards attended to him, bringing him a napkin to clean his hands. When he was done, he took the wine glass and started walking over to the living room area where Gwandon sat.“You said we had a problem?”, Andrea asked as he sat down.“This”Gwandon tossed the tablet across the table to where Andrea sat. The pictures of the previous day's events displayed on the scr

Chapter 147The sniper man zoomed in on the screen in front of him. “Got it. I've locked it him in”“Cool. When do I get my cut?”“Come by in the evening. I'll have it ready”The call was terminated.The sniper guy placed the phone on the metal table top and took out a screw driver from where it hung. In minutes, he'd dismantled the phone, clearing the contents into the waste bag beside him.He grabbed the pistol on the table and put the dismantled pieces together, making sure it was loaded. His eyes drifted shut as he took a deep, calming breath. When they opened once more, all traces of doubt and hesitation were gone, replaced by icy determination. With clinical precision, he disassembled the ominous device before him, categorizing and organizing each miniscule component with laser focus. One by one, they merged together under his skilled hands, sliding into place with mechanical efficiency until only a seamless whole remained. Securing it in the inner pockets of his loose pants, he

Chapter 148Riccardo walked forward and placed the tablet on the desk. “Good day Signore”“How are you?”But Asher didn't even wait for the response. He put the call off hold mode.“Buon pomeriggio Father. How are you doing?(good afternoon)”“Emilio, mio figlio (my son). Are you okay? What is this I hear on the news? An assassination attack on you at the office?”“Yes… Father. There was… I was attacked at the office”“Oh Mio Dio (my God) … you don't mean to say!”“That's what happened Father”Vincenzo was beyond dumbfounded. His mind struggled to process the escalating chaos that surrounded him. The relentless onslaught of attacks, the sheer audacity of the situation - it was beyond anything he had ever imagined. What had once seemed like a mere consequence of Emilio's arrival in town and the typical Mafia power struggles had now morphed into a malevolent force that threatened not only Emilio but the entire Rodriguez household.The height of the attacks and the situation of things ha

Chapter 149For the rest of the next day, Asher was restless. He wasn't supposed to be bothered by it yet he was. Why? He didn't know for sure but he thought over and over, the possibilities of the unknown caller having all the information he wanted and more. But what if it was a scam - a trap, something to lure him into the lion's den. After all, they'd just tried killing him and that had been no random shot. It was a vivid and bold attack on his life - an attempt that had somewhat triggered his steps towards revenge…. And a percentage of desperation. Ping Ping!The scren of his Samsung lit up. He looked over at the smartphone. The screen was on with a notification of a message that had just popped in.“Clandenson Halls, 425 District, Dale Avenue 5.30 p.m”Asher glanced at his Piaget watch. He had just an hour and fifteen minutes to make up his mind. Like he'd said before, this could just be some jobless random youth trying to sell cheap gossip to him. But the what ifs.. the what

Chapter 150 “Hey Gaius”“Garfy! Garfy, is that you?”“Yeah man. What's up?”“God! I've been trying to reach you guys. What happened to your other number? ”“I … I kind of lost it and I changed my phone recently so I lost all the contacts.”, Garfy said, a guilty feeling overwhelming him.“How… how are you … Gai?”“I'm good. I'm good. And Lego?”“He's fine. He's here”“What’s up Gai? How've you been? How's everything over there?”“I'm great. I'm okay. Everything's great”“Look Gaius, we are really sorry we've not been checking up…”“No it's fine .. it's fine. Totally..”“Ooh.. ummm.. I know”“Hold up okay”, Gaius said, looking around him.“Just listen. Listen. I have to tell you guys something. But first, what's the police saying about Mr. Wyatt's death?”“Mr Wyatt?”, Garfy said, a little at sea as the name didn't ring a bell in his head.“Yeah, yeah. Mr Wyatt”“I don't…”“Oril, Oril. Oril enterprises”, Gaius said, quickly, his voice sounding desperate to get it over with.“Oh yeah… M

Chapter 151The Aston Martin sped across the highway as Asher pedaled away. His phone was hooked on the phone holder in the car, connected to the speakers on his phone.“Siri, call the last number on my dial”“Calling anonymous”Asher slowed down a little as he came to the descending path of the highway. “Mr. Asher”, the voice came from over the speakers. “I believe you saw the location I dropped”“We are not meeting there”“Pardon?”“Listen. We'll meet on my terms. If you really want that favour and if you are legit, you'll turn up”“Mr. Asher…”“I’ll be at De Latè in twenty minutes. Meet me there”Asher put a finger on the end icon. The call terminated immediately. Suddenly, he took the U-turn, turning into it roughly. He sped off in the opposite direction, headed for the café. He had better know what he was up to.******************“Riccardo!”“Sofia! Sofia!”, Garfy called out. Signore Riccardo came out from one of the adjoining rooms connected to the living room.“Is there a p

Chapter 152Asher came out of his car, the click sound of locked doors following the car key buttons. He began walking away from the car to the entrance of the building. He pushed the glass door open and the small doorbell jingled above his head.The bakery was on the ground floor of the compact one storey building. As he walked towards the stairs, leading up to the café upstairs, he sighted Uncle DaBeniro attending to a customer. With him was his youngest grandaughter - Melissa.The moment he got up, he knew he wasn't supposed to be there. He felt it. But at this point, there was absolutely no going back. There weren't too many people in the café. Once again, he spotted - this time fully - the oddly dressed guy and he could tell at once that it was him. Asher moved to the farthest seat on the floor at the left corner closest to the big window.“Mr. Asher, it's nice to finally meet you”************************The still quietness of the room gave it an uncomfortable aura, coupled wit

Chapter 179:The Happy Ending
Chapter 179: The happy ending “What? “How dare you?!” Maria panicked at first when Asher said what he said, but she quickly covered it up. “ Vincenzo, did you just hear what he said?”“Gaius Come in” Asher said and Maria's knees suddenly went weak. She stumbled behind as she thought she was seeing a ghost. What was Gauis doing here? I thought he was dead.“Gaius here revealed everything to me after Maria and Andrea tried killing him off for finding out their secret ''. “Here sir,” Gauis said, handing a brown envelope to Vincenzo. “Father, in there is the DNA result of Andrea and Mr Wyatt Oril”“What? The late Mr Wyatt?” Vincenzo asked, scanning through the contents of the DNA results. “Yes, that Mr Wyatt, Maria and her son killed him off, as he was a threat to their plans of killing me. And since they couldn’t succeed, Maria here began the slow process of killing you off slowly by lacing your tea every day with a substance. That’s why you have been so weak lately. Here is the s

Chapter 178“Hey let go of me!”. Finn yelled loudly at the prison guards as he was dragged into the toture room. “Do you want to die? Do you know who you are laying your hands on? let me go. Let me the fuck go”Finn was dragged and strapped on the same metallic chair that was used to torture Asher. Mr Vincenzo gave those specific instructions.“Hey!Hey! Are you guys deaf?!Call my dad. You people are dead meat once I leave this place” his spat out at the guards, only to get a hard punch to the stomach as a response. Smack! Smack!“You want to speak to your father right?” The prison warden said as he entered the room “Fine, we will call him for you.”A call was placed across to Mr. Wilson, and with one single ring, his voice echoed at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr. Wilson, someone is dying to speak with you.” The warden passed the phone to Finn, who didn’t hesitate to grab it”“Dad!, dad!What the hell is going on? I have been here for weeks now. What am I still here?”“Shut u

Chapter 177Finn staggered back and Sofia scurried away from behind him. She picked up the gun which had fallen near her boss. Asher, on the floor by then, was fast losing a lot of blood.He brought his hand to his face. It was blood. He stood unsteady, his vision blurry and double and his mind was hazy. He staggered forward a little and Sofia quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at him.“Stay away!”Finn tilted from side to side, trying to widen his eyes. That made it worse as he couldn't even see Sofia or decipher the position of the gun anymore“You…”, he said, swinging his hand aimlessly. In fear, Sofia pulled the trigger and shot his leg.“Arghh”, Finn groaned, holding his leg. His back hit the wall and he fell to the floor, his mind's vision slowly going into a blackout.Sofia turned her focus to her boss, squatting down to his level.“Boss”, she said, shaking his leg. He was still conscious.“Sofie”, he whispered, the most quiet whisper Sofie had ever heard.“Boss! Stay with

Chapter 176The heavy screwdriver fell off her hands and landed on Sofia's right leg.“Ow!”, She cried in pain. She held herself from cursing out, hopping away a little, from the control board.She had tried to pull off the metal cover of the control board for the door. But there were no screws on it. Then, she tried to break the cover. And that landed her in the situation she was presently in. Sofia banged on the door.“Help!!”But she knew her efforts were effortless. There was none other in the building than her and Asher - and the intruder she recognised so much but couldn't place a finger on where she'd seen him.Sofia wanted to feel exhausted but the anxiety that controlled her was great. She'd spent at least fifteen minutes trying to get out of the room and that was more than enough time for her boss to have been reached and attacked by the intruder - probably even dead.“No”, she gasped. She had to think fast. She had to get out now.“Think Sofia. Think”, she said to herself,

Chapter 175Sofia relaxed a little when she heard footsteps on the staircase. She knew she was usually tense when they were in the same space but her anxiety seemed to heighten by the minute. It was unusual and she couldn't put a finger to it. She had tried to concentrate on work but she had only progressed in eating all the biscuits and cookies on the plate. She had poured the remaining contents of the bottled water into her mouth. Tossing the empty bottle into the bin underneath her desk, she had placed her fingers on her forehead and did a quick massage. Still, she felt stressed and just looking at the screen made her feel even more stressed.She took off her glasses and lay back on the chair. The footsteps felt closer now. She opened her eyes. No footstep heard. Maybe she really needed that sleep.She closed her system. Then she heard the footsteps again. Curious, she got up from where she was sitting and moved towards the door.For some reason, she was stealth about it. She look

Chapter 174The security cameras picked Finn's car as it sped past Asher's residential building. Finn's car was captured by the vigilant security cameras as it zipped past Asher's residential building, leaving a trail of speed in its wake. The driver and bodyguard in the car that had brought Elena noticed the car and watched it zoom off, bearing witness to the fleeting scene.The bodyguard put a phone call through to Mr. Salvatore.“Boss”“Speak to me Spider”“Intruder alert”“Intruder alert?”“Yes Boss. Some car just sped past us. There is no other residential building in this place and I can still see the car parked, though it's far away from the gate.”“Well, who's in it?”“We don't know yet Boss.”“Find out Spider and don't let them ruin this plan. È tutto chiaro? (Is that clear)”“Sì Capo (Yes Boss)”The call ended. Paolo moved towards where Raphael was. “They say there's an intruder, Raphael”“Oh really”, Raphael replied, his eyes fixed on the screen.“Put the security camera'

Chapter 173Sofia let out some air, obviously exhausted. Her boss, Asher, paced the room as he gave instructions over the phone. “I want ceramic used in those spaces, Travis, not wood. Did you…”Asher paused, listening to what the voice over the phone had to say.“Travis, Travis….”Another pause.“Listen.. listen to me. I don't want to know if it is or if it is not possible to get the ceramic tiles today. Whatever it is you need to do to get them today - this night - do it. Do it now. When I come by tomorrow, and just note I'll be coming in very early, I want the exact type and quality that I asked for. Can you get that done, Travis?”Asher paused for longer this time. “Okay. Let me rephrase that. Get it done Travis. Thank you”He ended the call. “What's up? Are you done?”“Yes sir”, Sofia said, letting out a sigh of relief at the end of her sentence. Asher did too.“Finally”, Asher said to Sofie, a slight smile on his face.Meanwhile, after minutes of wasted efforts going in the w

Chapter 172It was dark out. Asher glanced at his watch as he went up the stairs. It was past seven already. He walked into the office room where Sofie was still working.“Are you done?”“Almost sir. Let me just tidy up this document”“Alright”He left the room and came back with two small glass bowls of fruit salad.“Here”, he said, handing it over to Sofia.“Oh.. thank you Boss”“You deserve it”, he said, taking his over to the mediun sized sofa. Pink flushed on her cheeks and she had to bend her face so he wouldn't noticed. Asher smiled, noticing before she could even hide it. In all his life, he didn't know a person more shy than Sofia.He settled on the sofa, balancing the fruit salad bowl in his hand.“I've been willing to ask something, Sofia”Sofia raised her head immediately, unnecessarily in alarm.“How has your mum been?”“My mum? She's fine. She's.. perfectly okay”“Is she still at the hospital?”“Oh no sir. She got discharged about ..two months ago? Yes. It should be two

Chapter 171“It’s done Boss”, the delivery guy said, adjusting the air pod in his ear as he rode. The bike bent as he maintained being on the bend, the wind flapping in his ear. When he got onto the straight road, he had to reduce his speed for the traffic ahead.“Good”, the voice responded. “Well done Ryder”“Yes sir”The call terminated and Paolo set his phone down on the table. In front of him were three monitors and a slim guy sat in front of them, moving from one screen to another.“What’s the update, Raphael?”, Andrew asked“I'm in. I have successfully gained access into the facility now”, he replied, zooming in on one of the screens. On it was a live recording of Asher's gate, which was still open even when Asher had closed it. So he thought.Raphael switched to another monitor. On the monitor display, the different controls that were sectioned to the different parts of the house were shown. Raphael zoomed into each room, and the door controls, studying the signals. From there,
