The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Five: A Compromise
A week had gone by with the Wei mansion being tense so much so that the tense atmosphere was like thick butter. It could even be cut with a sharp knife. That's how much the mansion has changed ever since Marcus had kept Rachel under indefinite and unnegotiable house arrest. No one really spoke to each other, only giving passing glances, slight nods and sometimes hateful glares between the supposed opposition. Even breakfast, lunch and dinner had always been a hard activity to do when Rachel was locked away in her room. Some of the men had gone to serve her food on several occasions but she refused to speak to any of them. Rachel's attitude actually never bothered Marcus because he never did care and all that he did was for her own good but the rest of his family were taking it hard, his grandfather especially. On this fateful day Marcus sat down at his work station in his room going through his laptop. He had just got off the phone with the doctors of Bruce Blythe, Rachel's father.
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Six: SOME THINGS SHOULD STAY HIDDEN
“I may not like it and I may not want to but for my safety and that of my family, I will marry you Marcus Wei.” Rachel announced, her voice strong like she had come to accept her fate. Marcus us on the other hand was taken back by it. He did plan to convince her to go through with it, yes, but he didn't expect her to come to him about it and much less agree to it all. It was shocking to say the least. "What?" He asked, blinking rapidly as his mind tried to come to terms with her willingness. Marcus’ stoic demeanor failed to hide his shocked facial expression when he heard what Rachel said. Marry him? This was the woman who basically said that she hated men like him. The same woman who accused him of being a gold digger. He understood her apologizing for what she said but considering the marriage, why would she have a change of heart now?"Don't be so surprised at my change of heart. It's for my benefit, nothing more. I'll be safe from Davon and I'll at least secure my inheritance fr
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Seven: SCARLETT MANCINI
“I just wanted to see my son. Is that too much to ask?" Scarlett asked, her face showing fake sadness. Marcus fought the urge to roll his eyes but he didn't let the scowl on his face fade away."What do you want?” He questioned Scarlett as she smiled at him."Don't you want to ask us how we managed to get in touch with you or why we’re even here?” "I don't care. You've already barged into my life now so let's get on with it.” “Well, you know I like formalities sometimes so I'll start there. Imagine my surprise when found out that the runt of my little organization turned millionaire four years after leaving me high and dry. I tried to show my love by showing up to surprise you at Rivera Technologies but unfortunately for me, you had already moved on to a new city. I thought of letting you go but when I found out that you were an heir to a conglomerate, I mean I had to make a special visit. You can understand that right?" Scarlett explained, her ruby lips curling up into a sensual
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Eight: Decisions
At the end of the meeting with Scarlett and her right hand man, Marcus drove back to the mansion with the memory of their new alliance. He parked his car before alighting it. It was evening now and he still felt some kind of way by it. In fact the cloud of confliction had hung around after he agreed to the deal till they separated. Don't get him wrong he did want Davon out of the way and revenge for Scarlett it he was getting into the middle of a Mafia family feud. Was this really the best choice to handle things? His lips formed a small frown and he shook his head. The deed had been done. He had to go through with it. As Marcus entered his home, he was greeted with a disappointed woman. Her hands were crossed and her lips were downturned as her raven hair covered part of her face and emerald eyes. One look at her and Marcus' mood became a whole lot worse than it already was. He didn't have time to deal with her. At least in the way she wanted.Rachel's mouth opened up to speak to hi
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Nine: A MARRIAGE IN TOW
It was the next morning and Marcus was still trying to get dressed when he heard a knock on his door. He buttoned his suit breast over the crisp white shirt that completed his three piece suit as he spoke out."Come in.The door opened and Rachel walked into the room, shutting the door behind her. She had a small smile on her face and a hint of gleam in her eyes. Mostly because she was going to see her father after a week and five days. This had been the longest she had ever gone without seeing him and it had been eating her up not being able to know how he was faring but not anymore. Soon, she would see him.Rachel's smile lessened when she noticed that Marcus was still dressing up. His bag still laid on his bed with some documents spilling out of it. She checked her watch. 7:31am. She pouted."You're not ready yet. It's after 7. Why aren't you done?"Marcus sighed, the text from last night still weighing on his mind. He knew Rachel was going to meet her father, Bruce at the hospital
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Sixty: WE GOT MARRIED
The dreaded day had finally arrived. The day that neither Marcus nor Rachel had expected to come so soon. Marcus' car pulled up to the courthouse where he was meant to get married. He got out of the car looking handsome in an all black suit with matching accessories. Marcus looked at the building and let out a huge breath. He felt a hand on his tense shoulder."Don't be nervous. I know you didn't expect this. You're only doing this to help Rachel and me and for that I'm grateful. You are an amazing man and I can't say that I am more proud of you than I am at this moment."Marcus turned to see his grandfather with a proud smile on his face. Although Marcus was accepting of what he had gotten himself into, his mind was still engrossed with the kind of life he would have to live when he was actually married to someone. He gave Elias a smile and walked into the courthouse with him, Micah and Eric walking closely behind him.Once they entered the building, the group was greeted by the cour
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Sixty-One: MEETING THE UNCLES
CHP 61Days go by with Marcus and Rachel still settling into their new life. Ever since the court wedding the house had been a bit tense with no one really knowing where it came from. The only thing that showed that Marcus and Rachel were even remotely married was the fact that they started to have breakfast and dinner together with the family but apart from that they had both been cold towards one another more so after what Marcus had said in the car on their way home from the court house. It wasn’t that harsh considering the reason that they got married but Rachel had taken it to heart. All the more reason for the house to be as tense as it was. Rachel had kept to herself and Marcus had minded his businesses both in the company and out of it. Out of it being not only having to wait until Scarlett got back to him about the information he leaked to her about Davon but also with dealing with Rachel’s family. Her uncle’s to be precise. But even with them at a slight impasse, Rachel had
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Sixty-Two: A LITTLE SHOCK
"You do not speak to me that way." Marcus said as he took a step closer to them showing his dominance in a place that wasn't even his but it did nothing to put the men in their place even for a while. They belted out another laugh and waved him away like he was a fly. That was what you get with rich people and Marcus was tired of it. "Get out of here. Just because luck happened to shine on you for a while you choose to make a mockery of yourself. Go back to your place and let the people of a higher station speak." Grayson shouted out, his eyes shooting daggers at Marcus. Marcus moved forward ready to land a punch on both men's faces. Judging by both their builds they would be too slow to stop him before he landed a hit. A good enough punch before security would get him out of the building. Fair enough. His palms had already balled up, getting ready for the beat down ahead of him when a soft hand rested on him, halting him.Marcus turned around and on seeing Rachel's calm but assured

Chapter Hundred: COMING IN FOR QUESTIONING
“Well, it looks like we have our mole. This is going to be interesting.” Callum said, letting out a breath of uneasy air. “It can’t really be him.” Marcus said trying to protect his uncle and his belief in the man’s innocence but Callum was having no part of it. He pointed to the screen and raised his voice at Marcus.“How are you still protecting him? I understand that he’s your family but this is clear evidence that he sabotaged you. You can’t possibly overlook the fact that immediately he tampers with the controls, thirty minutes later it all goes to shit and people are pointing guns at the people you care for.”Marcus shook his head refusing to believe it. Deep down he knew that the evidence did not lie but he didn’t want to see Eric in such a light. He had been with this man for half a year for Christ’s sake. All the fights he had before, the ones he could remember, he always fought them with anger in his heart but how can he hate someone that was part of his family? If Eric wan
Chapter Ninety-Nine: THE AFTERMATH
The trial and sentencing of Alexandra caused ripples in both the business world and in other areas of the city such as the underworld but while it was nationwide gossip, it didn’t circulate in the household of the Wei’s. It wasn’t because the owners forbade it. It was because the people who were there that night chose to forget all about it and move on with their lives. One of those people was Marcus.The past few days had been no surprise to his family with all the crazy talk going around but what stuck out to Marcus during that time was the lack of dirt he seemed to or didn’t seem to find on any staff members in the mansion. They were all squeaky clean with little to no priors before they joined the family. He leaned back in his chair at the office and groaned loudly.What detective Callum had said to him that night had stuck with him and he had followed every lead up till that point so it made no sense why he would find nothing and the staff were innocent. It confused him more beca
Chapter Ninety-Eight: THE CLOSE OF A HORRID CHAPTER
After the invasion on the Wei mansion and the police had arrested all the culprits, the minds of the staff and the owners of the house had calmed down a bit. Thankfully, no one was hurt or shot during the invasion. No one except for Eric that is but it was a small price to pay in his words for the safety of the others.The earlier ruckus had subsided and now there was only peace and quiet on the mansion grounds. The only thing that could be heard now was the chirping of crickets and the sound of the soft wind blowing. The only thing that could be seen was the police tape that was being removed after they cordoned off the area where Eric had gotten shot and the ominous glow of the blue and red lights of the police vehicles casted on the front lawn.Rachel had already gone inside and his father and grandfather had gone to the hospital to check up on his uncle so Marcus stood outside and basically supervised the cleaning and investigation of the crime scene. One of the officers whom none
Chapter Ninety-Seven: A LITTLE CHAOS
“Maybe a bullet in your brain will make you remember.”No one said a word. No one was even quick enough as a bullet tore through the air and a deafening gunshot was heard. A small wisp of smoke rose up from the ground where the bullet had come in contact with. Marcus, who ducked his head in an attempt to dodge the bullet, opened his eyes and looked behind him. Their floor was wrecked by the bullet that had embedded itself into the ground. He let out a shuddering breath at the act while Alexandra stepped forward and placed the gun directly in front of Marcus’ head.“That wasn’t a mistake. I’m not a lazy shot. The next time that you want to insult my intelligence is the time that you die. Now, I’ll ask again. Do you know that you killed my child?” Alexandra stated, her voice dangerously low and heavy.Marcus shrugged in slight fear, coming to the realization that her son was the Davon that had dated Rachel for her money in the past. The one he had helped put away in prison but he really
Chapter Ninety-Six: SHE'S BACK
After Victoria was dragged away and thrown out of the house, Rachel and the rest of the family could finally rest easy. The wretched woman was now out of their lives once more. They all turned away from the door and looked at Marcus who still had a faraway look in his eyes since he basically finalized the order to throw the woman he thought he loved out of his home. His hands stayed glued to the marriage certificate he believed was real.The members of the family shared an understanding look, grateful that he had not passed out again because of the revelation and also pained that he had to come to his reality in such a way. Rachel silently gave them the go ahead to leave, showing them that she would take care of Marcus on her own. The men took her lead and left the room without a word, allowing Rachel to handle the shit show that had occurred just some seconds ago. She took a seat next to Marcus not really sure whether she should follow her instinct and place a hand on his lap or sit
Chapter Ninety-Five: UNWANTED
Marcus’ eyes fluttered open once more to voices but this time it wasn’t just his father’s and Rachel’s. Several male voices were thrown into the mix. He kept his eyes shut because of the bright light in the room and instead listened to what they had to say about his situation.“You say that he remembered her? I’ve checked his vitals and apart from his fainting spell he’s in good shape. If that’s the only reaction he has to telling him his past then I think letting him in on it all may be for the best but only in small doses. We can’t have him fainting every second of the day because he learned something new about himself and then having to undergo therapy if his mind fractures.” A male voice warned.“Noted doctor but I have one last question. Since he remembers her, is it okay if we tell him about her?” Micah’s unmistakable voice rang through.“I think that’s fine. You can but remember only in small doses.”A collective sigh of relief filled the room but there was one voice that stood
Chapter Ninety-Four: A ZAP BACK TO REALITY
Marcus stood still in contemplation after Micah, his father had left him alone in the hallway. He thought of what he could do next. Did he need to ask his uncle and grandfather or did he need to wait for the right moment? Would Victoria even know who Rachel was? No. He couldn’t ask her anything relating to the mystery woman. He didn’t even know the full story and if he asked Victoria it may lead to several problems especially since he knew that she was the jealous type. He shook his head, not stuck on what to exactly do as he walked off in the direction of his room. He would wait and see and later approach his father once more to ask questions. He didn’t want to be a pest but he needed to find out what was going on especially when his father was so cryptic with the response he gave. Marcus understood that his condition didn’t allow them to tell him certain things due to the way they treated him these past days and he had been content with that but what he didn’t get was what the know
Chapter Ninety-Three: REMEMBERANCE
The next day came along quickly, allowing the rays of sunlight to fill up the darkened space of the room and leaving Marcus weary and filled with more questions than he had initially bargained for when he entered this house. Questions that he planned to ask his father about and questions that he planned to keep a secret from Victoria until he got to the truth behind that woman’s face.Marcus sat up from the bed that he hadn’t even bothered to sleep in after he sent Victoria away. Victoria. He shook his head at the thought. How would she feel after that night? She had come to him for comfort and he turned her away because he remembered a woman? A woman who he could swear he shared a kiss with. He would have to apologize for it but also keep the image to himself. He had made up his mind. He would apologize to Victoria first before approaching his father with his questions. He picked up his phone and made a quick call to the staff members to bring something to his room. Marcus had a qui
Chapter Ninety-Two: FAILED ATTEMPT
Days went by and so did two weeks before Marcus was mostly introduced back into the business of the family. He hadn't gone to the company yet but he was almost up to speed on how to run the company once more, the way he deemed fit before he had the accident. It wasn’t hard to keep the secret of him owning several companies in other states as well, since the news of his alleged accident spread and he had to watch it all on the news. A small mistake on Elias’ part when he left the television on for Marcus to browse. The new information had not hurt his brain in any way and once the family found out that he was still fine, they explained some of it to him. Not the part about the Wong’s and his conniving wife but the part about him building a name for himself before becoming a multimillionaire and heir to the Wei legacy. All of which he took in stride. With that, Marcus had decided that he wanted to go back to his old companies but when Derek Zhao had heard about the accident he had ca
