The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Sixty-Nine: UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS
Marcus left the station almost immediately after hearing what Alejandro had said. The officers wanted him to stay and hear what the other criminal had to say to better corroborate that Eleanor Wong was really the one behind his hit and potential assassination but Marcus didn't want to stay any longer.Alejandro's testimony was enough for him and if the officers ended up finding any other thing then he would be informed later on but for now, he had to teach that woman a lesson for what they tried to accomplish. But how would he do that when she was already behind bars. He could have her killed off but that was not the kind of man he was. Just then a thought came to him. A way to make Eleanor’s time in prison more horrific than she liked.Marcus smiled to himself and as he got inside his car, he pulled out his phone, calmly dialing the number of someone that he knew would help him. The phone rang only once before the person picked up the call."Hello. Yes, get to my house as soon as you
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Seventy: HE'S BACK
About two weeks had gone by with Marcus still sticking to his normal routine of work, family and his personal time. He had heard back from Kane about the little job that he had the man do. And so far it had gone exactly to plan Eleanor was caught with a very suspicious pouch of coke and a shank. She obviously denied even seeing either of them before and claimed that it belonged to someone else but when she couldn’t point out who, she became the main target. So much so that she was thrown into solitary for her to have some time to reflect on her actions. Some time being a few months. All in all, it was a good lesson. The only thing that remained now was to go back to work and keep Scarlett at bay until the appropriate time for them to strike came. He was about to get right on the former and attend to some documents that needed his attention but then someone came barging through his office door with a worried look on her face. Marcus looked up at a worried and frantic Rachel wondering
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Seventy-One: AN UNVIELED THREAT
A day had passed and in that time Rachel had received several text messages and calls from her former lover Davon Black. She had told Marcus and the rest of the family, even her own, of every text or call Davon ever sent to her.Just like they had done when she first told them, the family had warned her to refrain from speaking to him and always stay indoors to avoid him finding out where she was holed up. Rachel did as she was told but still wondered what Marcus was doing to remove Davon from the equation as he had not really told her anything concerning his supposed plan. Even though she had her doubts, Rachel chose to believe that Marcus could help her. He had helped her get her company back from the vultures that flew over her head with just one action so he could definitely get a Mafia member off her back. Right?Marcus on his own kept away from Rachel in the meantime. Truth be told he had silenced the board members at Rachel's company but her uncle's were a different case. He ha
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

Chapter Eighty-Four: ONE CHAPTER CLOSED
As one relevant gunshot resounded in the large warehouse, a body dropped and blood spilled all over. One of them had fallen. One of them had failed. One of them had won.As Davon laid on the ground withering in pain due to the gunshot wound in his right shoulder that removed the gun in his hand, Marcus let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Even though he was in slight shock at the fact that he had actually shot a person, he didn't let his guard up and kept on pointing his gun at Davon as he walked closer and kicked the nearest weapon on the floor away from the man. He was too dangerous to leave a weapon around even though he was wounded severely. “Bastard! I hope you're happy now.” Davon screamed at him, gripping onto his bleeding shoulder. “You have her and all the wealth that comes with her. Don't you already have enough? Are you that greedy?” Davon said, trying to provoke Marcus into making a mistake."Don't try to patronise me Davon. I'm the one who has a gun to your fa
Chapter Eighty-Three: THE FACE-OFF
Davon quickly pulled Rachel away from the front side of the building towards a huge truck. He turned around it and bent down, causing Rachel to do the same. He looked at her, slowly regretting his decision to bring her along.“Stay down and don't say anything. When the opportunity arises I'll get you out of here. You won't get caught." He grunted at her, willing her to listen to his words carefully. Like before Rachel had no idea what to say. She could only give him fervent nods, her mind going into overdrive when she realized that she was about to be in a shootout between the cops and the cartel. In all honesty it was a bit much for her to handle at the moment especially when she had never been in this situation before. It was jarring. As Rachel was trying not to have a panic attack due to her predicament, a voice rang out through the building. He was using a megaphone.“Come out with your hands up and weapons on the ground. We know how many of you are in there and who exactly runs
Chapter Eighty-Two: AN AMBUSH
Several days had passed and still Rachel and Marcus kept in contact with one another. They spoke everyday with Marcus, his family and Lori combing through every piece of video or feed they could get from her time with Davon. Once Rachel entered the Black mansion she was met with love and care but only one person showed her none of those. Alexandra Black. She was not necessarily cold to Rachel, nor did she hate the girl but she did keep her at arm’s length especially after her son had told her that she escaped the Wei’s and in turn that Marcus of a runt. Hence, her distrust of the girl. Rachel had tried to get on the woman’s good side but so far nothing was working. She gave up and decided to focus her efforts on Davon. Someone who was already in her clutches. For the most part Rachel spent a lot of time with Davon, always asking questions and prying into his personal life. This had caused some certain situations to occur such as Davon reading a message wrongly and trying to make lov
Chapter Eighty-One: ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN
After Rachel left the mansion, tensions rose as no one really knew what would happen when she met up with Davon at the discussed meeting point. Marcus went back inside and then to the room that was already set up for the surveillance. Lori was already there tweaking with some of the equipment as Marcus and the rest of his family walked in. They all stood around casually watching the large screen in the room that showed the back of the car seat and played the audio of Rachel's crumpling shirt and the soft purr of the car as it moved.Elias took a deep breath as he watched the live video while Marcus thought to himself. Rachel was still in the car, currently on her way to the destination where her old lover would be waiting for her. He wasn't sure she could handle it even with all the times she assured him she could but Marcus decided to close off his doubts and trust her. If she could trust him enough to do this then he could return the favor.
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
