The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Forty-Eight- HER BIG SECRET
An hour later the wait was over as doctor Dunn came out of the room with a relieved look on her face. Marcus arranged his disheveled hair and eyed her. He wasn't in any way torn up over Rachel but he did hope she was okay. Regardless of what he thought, he needed Rachel to be fine. "How is she? What was wrong?" He asked as soon as she got closer. "She's fine now. We got the drug flushed out from her system in time." Doctor Dunn replied, her worry subsiding for a moment but coming back up when she realized that there was something more sinister at hand. Marcus raised a questioning eyebrow, confusion coating his face. "Drug? What drug?""It's propofol. Normally it would just make her fall asleep but it started to restrict her airways probably because she's allergic to either eggs, soybeans or something closely related to the two. It works effectively normally, making the victim unconscious in about five to fifteen minutes. It's slowly being considered as a date rape drug these days.
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Forty-Nine: A SUITOR?
"Does this Davon fellow have anything to do with the way you're blushing?" Marcus asked her, his brows going up. Rachel eyed him, her mouth in a taut line before she replied. "Even though you saved me you should mind your business sometimes."Marcus raised his hands in the air in mock surrender, her words not really doing much to him. He only tried to make small conversation but he guessed that Rachel was just not the person to do that with. "I don't really care." He retorted, matching her energy. “I'm just trying to find out how the drug got into your system. I'm trying to help you. If we got my family involved it could help too."Marcus didn't want to really speak to his family as of now but if helping someone live was on the line then he would do it. Even if that person was Rachel. Rachel pouted but in the end relinquished the information that Marcus wanted."I think it was put in a drink. I didn't even drink it myself." She murmured the last part to herself."What?" Marcus que
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty: EXPLANATIONS
"Rachel was almost killed today.” Marcus announced, causing the eyes of the men in the room to widen, every one of them thinking the same thing.What the hell is he talking about? Elias' head spun so quickly to face his grandson that one would have thought his head would have flown off his body from the sheer speed of the action. "What do you mean by that?" He said, fear coursing through his veins and worry evident in his voice. "I mean someone tried to kill her today. She was drugged. When I went out, I just happened to see her collapse on the walk way. I helped her but if I wasn't there, I'm not sure what would have happened to her." Marcus explained, his mind going back to when he saw Rachel helpless and passed out. He really had no idea what would have happened to his family if Rachel would have died. His father's question pulled him back to the present. "What drug?" Micah asked. He already looked like he was about to kill someone."Propofol. It was only administered to rende
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-One: DANGEROUS SECRETS
It took a whole hour before Elias walked back into the Wong mansion with a pouting godchild on his arm. Rachel looked different from the last time Marcus set his eyes on her even though it was just earlier that day.For one she was now clothed in normal clothes. Secondly her hair was not as flat as it was before, it was bouncy like she had just gone to the salon. Thirdly, she didn't have a certain roughish man clinging to her in the same room. Rachel didn't look like someone who had just been poisoned and left for dead. She seemed like what she just went through was normal for her. Weird. Elias held onto her as the staff carried her bags to the room that Marcus had the staff prepare for her jus in case. She stared at all the men who stood in the lobby looking at her thoughtfully. Forcefully, she removed herself from Elias' grasp and frowned."I really don't understand why I'm here. I was safe where I was." She blurted out not liking her new forceful living situation. Elias scoffed a
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Two: CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG
"Davon Black is the son of the Mafia boss, Alexandra Black and the heir to the Black Dragon Mafia."The information that came out from Micah's mouth hit Marcus like a truck coming out of nowhere. What?! The son and heir of the feared Black Dragon Mafia. This couldn't be possible. Just like Rachel had said the Black family was a well known, well respected and influential family in the city and beyond. He knew that for a fact because he had somewhat socialized with the man of the family once during a sooriee, the husband to Alexandra Black and had also read about them in the news and business papers. He didn't know of Davon but upon thinking back he was sure that the man was from a reputable family. Well, not anymore. There was no way that the man he saw earlier that day was linked to the Mafia. Davon had such an innocent face. It was only by instinct that Marcus didn't like him and knew he was up to something but anyone else could have been easily fooled. Saying that Davon was a bad
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Three: A BIT OF TROUBLE
Marcus took a step forward with his arms outstretched to try and calm Rachel down but all that did was anger her further.“Look, Rachel…”"You asshole." She shouted out, trying to get into the room and confront them. Upon hearing her voice ring out through the room, Micah, Elias and Eric stood up and tried to get out of the room to see what was going on but Rachel beat them to it as she stormed into the room, her feet stomping and her nose flaring from her anger. The look on her face towards the men made them look down at the ground in both contrition and regrets. No one moved to say a word because like before Rachel was quick to speak first."I can't believe that you all would sit here and speak about me and Davon in that way." She screamed at them. "Rachel…" Elias began. "No. I don't want to hear it. You sat in this room and made up lies about Davon, said that I was delusional to what he really was and made up plans to make me fall in love with your grandson. Was this all to hav
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Four: FAILED ATTEMPT AT ESCAPE
Two days had gone by with Rachel still being a stubborn brat to not just the staff of the mansion but also the men of the house. Elias had tried to speak to her on several occasions but she was always quick to turn him away. Micah tried to reason with her and Eric didn't even bother trying, already knowing that if Elias wasn't spoken to them he had no chance.Marcus on the other hand made some effort, trying to let her know about the workings of the world while she was being kept in her room but like she always did, Rachel told him to get the fuck out of her room and die in a ditch somewhere. It was appalling and honestly annoying but Marcus sucked it up and continued about his days. This particular night he laid down on his bed, his head threatening to explode from the migraine he was having. After nights of having Rachel scream at the tops of her lungs to be freed, Marcus' brain had been in an upheaval. Hence, him trying to rest and recuperate. Unfortunately, Rachel had other plans
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.

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
Chapter Ninety-One: WELCOME BACK
In a week Marcus was diagnosed with a good enough health and state of mind to leave the hospital. Three cars were already waiting for him when he came out of the hospital, to take him back to the Wei mansion. His work as the CEO of Wei Conglomerate had been put on pause with his father, Micah taking the reins once more. Marcus stood for a bit and allowed the warm breeze blow in his hair, still not fully sold on the idea that he had a family apart from the Wong's. He may not like the Wong’s but it was the only family he knew. A family that wasn’t like the one Scarlett gave him but it was a family nonetheless.One of the chauffers walked up to his side of the door and opened it up, prompting Marcus to enter the vehicle. Marcus eyed them. There wasn't anything suspicious about the men he had met some days before. The men who called themselves his family and in all honesty he would get to see Victoria if he went with these men. He was skeptical but with the way that the hospital staff gre
