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
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge 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 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
