The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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,
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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 One Hundred and Nine: HIDDEN INTENTIONS
Marcus, Rachel, Micah and Elias got down from their respective cars and walked into the precinct where the evidence Marcus had promised was waiting in Coleman’s safe of personally kept evidence. Marcus looked around to make sure that they weren’t being watched and when he was sure that the coast was clear he entered into the building with the rest of his family.Some officers stood up at the mere sight of almost all the Wei family entering the precinct. It had never happened. At least, not after they had been here asking for help to find their son Marcus in the past. It was a rare sight as most of them knew that this family liked to handle their businesses on their own most times and if they were all here at the same time then something wrong was going on. The officers greeted them as they walked by and as Marcus led them straight to Eric Coleman’s office. The same man his uncle had introduced him to.“Who is it?” Coleman shouted out as he heard a rap on his door. The door opened up
Chapter One Hundred and Eight: THE TRUTH IS REVEALED
Marcus had made the necessary arrangements to have Lori and her family relocated abroad. He also had his mind set on sending Rachel with them after his encounter with his uncle the afternoon of the kidnapping, but Rachel had opted to stay back and she was adamant about it. He sighed as he sat down in his office as he wondered why she was being so stubborn and wouldn’t allow him to protect her. Oh, that’s right, he already knew why. She had already told him her reasons but still she had to know that she was in danger because his uncle would do anything to get to him. He couldn’t have her still in the house with that man.Apart from sending Lori to safety and having a mild fight with Rachel about taking her to safety also, the police; specifically, Eric, the chief and Callum the detective had done their part in contacting the officers in Italy to help them with the security issue. When the officers over there were informed that a Wei would be paying them for the job, they jumped at the
Chapter One Hundred and Seven: DECLARING WAR
“Another thing. I need that laptop back. It’s important that I get it back.” Marcus said as he turned back to the smirking men, wanting to get one thing straight. That laptop was still important. One of them shook his head. “We can’t. We still need to get paid by our previous employer.” He said, a small sneer forming on his face. “Do you still want me to pay you or do you want nothing?” Marcus slightly threatened. “What do we tell him when he asks?” Green eyes asked. Marcus rolled his eyes as he couldn’t believe that these men were able to kidnap people in broad daylight and not be caught but can’t lie to save their own lives. It was truly unbelievable. It was a let down. “Tell him that you got the evidence and destroyed it. As for me, let him know that you couldn’t kill me. I went straight to the police while the girls came over here and did the exchange themselves. Assure him that you’ll keep on trying and soon enough, you’ll have me killed.”The men glanced at one another bef
Chapter One Hundred and Six: MONEY SOLVES EVERYTHING
Those green eyes stared back at Marcus, Rachel and Lori menacing and ready to pounce. The man who Marcus could see clearly now, smirked at him, taunting him with that sly grin. Marcus had a feeling that this meeting was probably going to end up with someone dead since the man was purposefully going to kill him before. He could smell the bloodlust from the man.“Calm down. I’m not here to kill you. We need to take care of this business first and then I can finally end your life maybe later.” The green-eyed man spoke out, placing one hand on his waist. “Who ordered you to do this?” Marcus asked, getting a bit on edge as the man and his two partners edged closer to them.“Who ordered me to do what exactly? I have a lot of employers.” He retorted, toying with Marcus. “You know what I mean. Who asked you to kidnap those people and try to kill me?” Marcus asked him more clearly, not in the mood for fun and games. The green-eyed man waved his hands in the air.“Whoa, whoa, whoa. I’m not h
Chapter One Hundred and Five: GREEN EYES
Marcus left the mansion in a hurry with the new found knowledge that his uncle had been watching him. It irked him as he got into his car wondering how long Eric's spying had been going on. He knew that there were cameras at every inch of the mansion but he didn’t think that his uncle would be keeping such a close eye on him. Now that Lori's family had been taken by Eric, of that he was sure, he had no choice but to turn in the evidence that they had just uncovered. It was annoying that Callum was right to say the least, but he couldn't risk having anything bad happen, especially to Lori's little brother. She would never recover from that and he would blame himself explicitly. Marcus swerved through the streets trying to decide whether to go to the police station and tell Callum what had just happened or to go straight to a place he knew could disable the cameras of his prying uncle without being noticed.As he made his next turn he noticed that a car turned with him. It wouldn't ha
Chapter One Hundred and Four: THE BIG BAD WOLF
Marcus successfully got Rachel on his side after he took his time to explain what was really happening. He had pulled her into his room, Lori too and re-explained everything to the both of them also while showing Rachel the pictures that Lori had brought to further prove his point to her. At the end of his talk, Rachel blushed, extremely ashamed of the behavior she had shown when she thought that something else was going on when she saw the both of them together. She had gone through a rough time with Davon and although she and Marcus weren’t romantically involved, she didn’t want another ruined relationship that would be based on lies. She wasn’t sure that she could take that again. “Oh, I see.” She uttered, bending her head a little and staring at the ground while Lori just stood there and rolled her eyes at the situation.“But now that we have this, we have to take it to the authorities and even if nothing can be done, we have to take matters into our own hands.” Rachel said, gett
Chapter One Hundred and Three: EVIDENCE
Ever since the impromptu meeting that Marcus had attended with his family, the emotions in the mansion had shifted. While some people were rallying up against the police force and whoever they thought had put them up to framing Eric, the rest of them were confused at what had happened and right now, had no idea what route to take. Mostly because they trusted Eric but it all seemed very convenient. One of the latter being Marcus, already had something working in the background as the house was in a state of utter confusion. He sat in his room, at his workstation trying to wrap his head around not only the whole Eric situation but also the standing of the company in terms of their records when he received a call from Lori. He had called her earlier hoping that she could help him find something that could prove that his uncle was either innocent or guilty like Callum had insisted but something felt off.“Hey. You’re calling very early. Do you have anything yet?” Marcus spoke as soon as
Chapter One Hundred and Two: CAT AND MOUSE
Marcus ended up going home after some minutes of reflecting on what he wanted to do when he came face to face with the rest of his family. His car pulled up to the front of his house and he got out while a valet came up to him and took the keys to his car before taking it to the garage where it was meant to be kept. Marcus took in a huge breath before he stepped into the house.He had some relief when he entered the lobby of the house and no one was there to greet him. He turned to go up the stairs when his name rang out in the space.“Marcus!”He turned around, feeling a bit nervous about meeting her. Rachel walked briskly towards him; a questioning look on her face. She pouted as she reached him.“Marcus where have you been? Eric came back all by himself. What happened?”“Nothing. I picked him up but I needed to get something while he wanted to get back to the house as soon as possible. I gave him a car and we went our separate ways.”Rachel crinkled her eyes, obviously showing susp
Chapter One Hundred and One: THE INTERROGATION
Marcus and Callum walked silently to the interrogation room where Eric was already seated and twiddling his thumbs. They saw him first from the windows before they entered the room through the door. Marcus took a seat first before Callum did and pulled out a recorder and a notepad that he could jot on. Callum flipped through his note pad looking for the questions he had meticulously wrote down to ask while Eric and Marcus stared at one another, one not really knowing where this interrogation would lead and the other confused as to why he was even in the interrogation room being accosted by a family member. Callum found what he was looking for and broke the ice. He turned on his recorder.“This interrogation is being carried out by Detective Callum Bennet. Marcus Wei is sitting in on the interrogation. The suspect is his uncle, Eric Wei.”After Callum had introduced himself to the recorder for reference purposes, he turned to Eric and began the interrogation.“Mr. Wei, you are here as
