The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Ten: THE DIVORCE
The day for the appointed court date for the divorce had finally come around. The courthouse buzzed with anticipation as reporters and spectators crowded the hallways, all eager to witness the final act of what had become the city's most talked-about divorce case. Victoria Wong versus Marcus Chen. It was electric and no one could get enough of the drama. Inside the courtroom, Marcus and his lawyer sat calmly at the table on the left of the room while Victoria and her legal team occupied the other, her perfectly manicured nails drumming against the wooden surface with barely contained irritation. For a second, Victoria and Marcus shared a look causing the pair to sneer and look away as soon as their eyes locked, neither of them wanting to be in the same room as the other for a second more. The Judge, Mark Harrison entered the courtroom, and the bailiff's voice rang out clear: "All rise. The Superior Court of the State is now in session, the Honorable Judge Mark Harrison presiding."
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Eleven: PRESS CONFERENCE
Almost twenty-four hours to the time of his divorce, Marcus stood at the podium in the Rivera Technologies conference room, cameras flashing from every direction as reporters clamored for his attention, all wondering how he had even managed to secure a room in the building for a press conference. The sleek, designer suit he wore was a far cry from the secondhand one he had worn in court yesterday. A necessary change for the announcement that he was about to give. Marcus stared at the crowd for a moment more before he waved his hands, calming them down. The room went silent, everyone waiting to hear what the now ex-husband of Victoria Wong was about to say."Good day everyone. I'm glad that you all thought that my press announcement today was worth a listen. I honestly didn't think that many of you would show up here today," he started with a small chuckle before moving on."Well, the reason I wanted you all to be here was to announce that as of today I am now the official CEO of Rivera
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Twelve: THE ASSISTANT
While Marcus was putting things in order for Victoria’s downfall, he still had a business to run. A huge business which meant that he had to hire an assistant to help him out. Hence, that’s why he was sitting in his office with a long line of women outside his door, waiting to be interviewed for the position. He would have loved for someone else to handle this but with the amount of pull that his ex-wife still had, he couldn’t risk a mole being sent into his administration. Marcus sat through most of the interviews either bored out of his mind or annoyed at what the applicants were trying to pull. The next lady trauma dumped on him about her four kids who she couldn't afford to take care of because her husband was sleeping around and begged him to give her the job although having no strong qualifications or even personal strengths whatsoever. She pleaded with him the whole time all while he asked her to stop and when she finally stopped she chose to try and seduce him. The lady had a
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Thirteen: HACKING IN
"You want me to do what?" Lori asked, looking at Marcus, confusion clearly written on her features."I want you to help me hack into Wong Facilities and find out what dirty secrets they have. Oh, the Parker Corporation also while you're at it." Marcus said as if what he was asking was the easiest thing in the world.Lori's mouth still hung open when someone else in the room spoke up."Are you sure that's wise? I’m pretty sure that you just hired this lady. You can't be sure that she wouldn't run away at the first sign of trouble or if she's even up to the task."Marcus looked up from the papers in front of him and looked at his his friend, Sarah, who had just entered the office about a minute ago after the interview had ended. Talk about right timing. “Sarah, you finally made it.” Marcus said, turning his attention to her with a grin on his face.”“You became a millionaire and I’m sure that you had a lot of things to handle so I stayed back for a while to give you space. I hope I hav
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fourteen: FALSE CLAIMS
The sharp click of heels against marble echoed through Marcus' office as his assistant, Lori burst in, clutching a manila envelope to her chest."Mr. Chen, this came for you earlier today. It seems that you've been served."Marcus looked up from his computer screen, his expression unchanging as he accepted the envelope from her. Inside was exactly what he'd been expecting, a court order from Victoria Wong, demanding an emergency hearing to contest his lottery winnings.He allowed himself a small smile and dropped the envelope on his desk. Typical Victoria. He turned to Lori, a bright look in his eye. "Call Jessie. Tell her we're going to court tomorrow."Lori gave him a nod before she walked out of the room. Marcus glanced at the envelope once more, muttering under his breath. “This is going to be fun.”••••The next morning, the courthouse buzzed with anticipation. News of Victoria Wong's latest attempt to claim a portion of Marcus' fortune had spread quickly even though it was kep
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Fifteen: A MOLE
Marcus stared at the email from the IRS announcing an immediate audit of Rivera Technologies. He had just taken over the company, everyone knew that so the audit was not necessary in the slightest. Plus, if anything was found, he would be held accountable as the new CEO. The timing was too perfect to be coincidental, especially given Victoria's recent court defeat. His fingers drummed against his desk as he forwarded the notice to his financial team, already knowing what this was about. "Lori," he called through the intercom. “Get the finance department ready for an audit this afternoon. I don’t want any lagging today.” He told his assistant before he cut the line, wanting the audit officers to be in and out with effect so that they could go back to work. Marcus had turned his attention to his work but it was cut short because almost half an hour later there was a knock on his door.“Come in,” Marcus allowed, dropping his papers to see who was at his door. It was Lori. She walked in
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Sixteen: TAKING IT ALL
Victoria strode into the Wong Facilities boardroom with her usual confidence, her Louboutins clicking against the marble floor. The emergency board meeting had been unexpected since her recent divorce and Macus’ stunt with the last courtcase was of no importance to the company, but she wasn't concerned – she'd weathered worse storms before. Not getting Marcus’ money was annoying but she was not gong to let it get her down. She would destroy him one way or the other, hence her happy nature that morning. She moved through the lobby with pride and used the elevator going up to the fifth floor. Once she arrived she walked over to the conference room, right next to her office and entered the room ith a bright smile on her face. "Good morning, everyone," she said, settling into her chair at the head of the table. "Before we begin, I'd like to discuss our latest profit margins…""That won't be necessary, Mrs. Wong." Thomas Briar, the longest-serving board member, cut her off. "We need to a
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Seventeen: CHECKMATE
The morning sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Wong family penthouse, casting long shadows across Victoria's face as she made her way down to breakfast. Her head throbbed from a night of restless sleep, filled with dreams of Marcus' smirking face plastered across news channels and social media as he announced his true identity. A millionaire. The thought made her scoff and in any other instance would make her laugh, if not for the fact that it was true. She'd spent the better part of the previous evening drafting various strategies to counter his sudden rise to power, but nothing felt quite right. Nothing felt enough to completely trample him beneath her feet especially after the stunt he had pulled with her own company. She hadn't recovered from it yet and she was yet to even tell her parents of the news but she knew that it would come out one way or the other. She just wasn't ready for it to come out today. The elevator doors opened to what should have been a

Chapter Eighty: THE BIG DAY
After a moment of hesitation and thinking, Rachel had made up her mind. She looked at all the men in the room, showing her firm stance on the answer she was about to give.“I'll do it. I'll go see Davon."Elias groaned in disapproval as Marcus sighed triumphantly at Rachel's decision. He gave her a small yet dignified nod thanking her for trusting in his plan when Elias walked up to her and held her by her shoulders as if trying to bring her back from an unyielding spell.“Rachel, you know if you do this you won't be safe anymore. We would help but are you willing to risk your life and your heart just for this? We can find another way. A better way. Think about this."Rachel stood up matching her godfather.“Like you said uncle Elias, it's my life and my heart. If I choose to bring down the person that hurt me, that's my decision. I want to do this and I have all of you so I'm sure I'll be fine in the end."Elias looked into her eyes, hoping to find a shred of doubt or fear but when h
Chapter Seventy-Nine: A NECESSARY DECISION
Marcus arrived at his mansion a bit happy that Chris Gibson, the chief prosecutor in New York, was willing to help him out in his mission to bring his enemies down. That was just one part of his plan that had been sorted out. He had his men go pick Lori's grandmother and brother up also which had lessened his workload. Now, he only had one other area to pursue and that was the actual catching of the Black's doing anything illegal in the eyes of the law. He wasn't sure yet how they were going to get that piece of information when they didn't have a mole inside their company or anyone at all who was close enough to them to be involved in what they were doing and inform Marcus of their deeds.He leisurely walked through the hallways of his home on his way to his room, still thinking of what he could do to get to that family when a walking and breathing answer popped up in front of him. Her raven stood out from the white gown that she had on and the frown that found its way to her face wa
Chapter Seventy-Eight: MEETING THE CHIEF PROSECUTOR
Marcus dropped Lori off at the mansion first with the promise that he was going to have his men bring back everything that she needed from her home once she wrote him a list for that. He was also going to have her brother and grandmother brought to stay with him for some time at the mansion. That is, before he could find a more secure and safe place to hide them from Davon in case the man had any new ideas but realistically, the mansion was the best place for them to stay at the moment. Marcus wasn't close to either of them but Davon might think otherwise and do something horrible just to mess with him.After giving Lori his word, he set out to go meet the only person in the judicial system who he was sure could help. He didn't know this person personally and had never spoken to them. Hell, he didn't have any appointment with the man but due to everything he had heard about the man from his integrity, to his good nature and then his no nonsense attitude when it came to illegal things,
Chapter Seventy-Seven: A TRADE
Regardless of his suspicions, once it was about getting to noon, Marcus hurriedly drove all the way to the meeting spot. The Café de Flore. He was not going to give Davon or Alexandra the satisfaction of holding late coming and Lori's suffering over his head. He already had what Davon wanted. The evidence. He wanted Rachel too but there was no way that Marcus was getting her involved in this nonsense. It didn't take long before Marcus pulled up to the restaurant that was located on the other side of the city. He got out of the car and checked his watch for the time. 11:57am. He sighed and confidently walked into the building.Just like always, he was greeted by the receptionist and the people who saw him awed that they had the chance to set their eyes on him but that was not what Marcus was interested in. What he was interested in was the familiar face he saw sitting at the corner of the restaurant and smirking at him while raising up a glass of champagne.The receptionist spoke to h
Chapter Seventy-Six: MISSING
Marcus was walking through the hallways of his mansion early in the morning, on his way to his home office when he heard a muffled groan and then a loud thud, like something hitting the carpeted ground. On hearing the sounds, he ran quickly to the room, not bothering to inspect what was happening but shoved the door open and ran into the room. He did not expect to see what he was witnessing at the time.Lori stood over a clearly broken and destroyed machine, huffing and puffing like she had just ran a marathon. She turned to Marcus, a barbaric and dangerous look on her face. Marcus gave her a confused look, wondering why she was standing over a piece of equipment with bloodlust."What are you doing?" Marcus asked with a brow raised at her.Lori stood up straight and le
Chapter Seventy-Five: BYPASSING FIREWALLS
Marcus sat in his spacious office in his home, gazing out at the amazing tapestry of artwork the gardener had done on the mansion grounds below. As the CEO of one of the largest corporations, he knew that there were some companies who used unlawful or illegal means to climb the ladder to success. One of those companies must belong to the Blacks. They had forced his hand and now it was time to take action. As he silently watched the butterflies perch on various exotic flowers, his secretary, Lori, entered the room, her eyes shining with determination unlike the last time she was called into his space. She had heard. In fact she had lived part of it. The assault that occurred at the company which shook the employees and everyone in the vicinity. She didn't know who set off the attack but she knew it was related to her boss. The Wong's couldn't do it. She had already helped Marcus to take care of them, so who else could it be? "You called for me.""Yes, I did." He said without moving h
Chapter Seventy-Four: ALEXANDRA BLACK
Marcus took the seat that was offered to him by the unknown woman. He sat on the chair, a bit relaxed but aware of his surroundings nonetheless. He didn't bother looking around and asked the woman a question."Who are you?"The woman shrugged and stood up. She walked over to her mini bar, picked up a bottle of scotch and tilted it towards Marcus."Care for some scotch? I promise it's to die for."Marcus shook his head, choosing to ignore her little quip that sounded like she already knew what had happened to him. He glared at her back as she shrugged and poured a glass for herself before going back to her seat."I'll ask again. Who are you?" He questioned her, going back to the matter at hand. She smiled at him."No one of importance until I know why you're here."She and Marcus shared looks. In that moment Marcus could pick out some key features that she had that resembled someone he knew. Looking at them, he was sure that he had seen this woman somewhere. She seemed vaguely familia
Chapter Seventy-Three: A NEW FACE
Marcus went back to his home after the massacre that Davon had brought to his place of work, after the sirens filled the air as police officers arrived on the scene, after the last man standing of the opposition was taken into custody, after some of his employees had to be wheeled away in bags and after Marcus had been interrogated by the officers on scene about the gunfight that happened in broad daylight.As he stepped foot into the building, the voice of a very worried Rachel echoed in the lobby."Marcus!"She ran towards him not at all minding her step on the tiled slippery floors. She cupped his face as she reached him. Marcus hissed as he felt a sting on his left cheek where Rachel touched. The cut must have been from the rain of glass that fell on top of him during the attack."What happened to you?" She asked as Marcus removed her hand from his face to avoid being smothered too much."It's nothing. Don't worry about it." He said to her, his voice low and ragged. In all honesty
Chapter Seventy-Two: THIS MEANS WAR!
As Davon left the office, the faint but sure cacophony of him causing trouble and disrupting the environment flooded Marcus' ears causing him to scowl at no one in particular. The noise, no doubt from the men that Lori had brought up to escort Davon out of the building. After some time, the noise subsided allowing Marcus to calm his tensed shoulders and focus on some other important things. He was thrown off guard when Davon appeared at his office and even though the man was on his home turf, Marcus couldn't do anything because at that point he didn't know what kind of power Davon himself held, the cartel notwithstanding. Marcus didn't think that the impromptu meeting turned out great but at least Davon didn't come in throwing hands. He puffed his chest to stand up to and counter Davon while he was here. Marcus knew he was more than capable, he couldn't help but feel that his opposition had the upper hand. Something about being raised in the underworld told him that. He sighed, brou
