The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 103: The Call
Robert was alone with his grandfather, watching as the old man's eyes were closed peacefully. From his view, it seemed as if the old man was frowning. Robert's head was down turned, in a manner that would make it seem as though he was staring to the ground, whilst his eyes and entire focus was on the ninety year old man who laid motionless."How could I have ever let this happen to you, Grandfather?" He said to himself, his voice was nothing short of a whisper, a whisper that was seemingly loud because the nurse turned to look at him. But he didn't notice her, or her presence even."I should have never left you alone" he said once more, his fist folded as though he was about going in for a punch. "Why are these things happening now? Now that I am in charge of the company? Why now?" He was not referring his questions to the old man. He was actually talking to himself. His face was grim, he wore a frown, untop of it was a pair of red eyes. All of this gave him a terrible countenance th
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 104: Mommy's Girl
Sophia graced through the doors of her parent's mansion with a little bag hanging over her shoulder. Her parents were so happy seeing that her overall expression and mood had changed for the better since Michael came back in to her life. She was no longer up in her room all day, sulking over Robert who wanted nothing to do with her. Her mother, Roseline rose from the cosy cushion and went to meet her little, precious angel."Ohh! My baby is back." She said with a beautiful, whole smile as she wrapped her hands over Sophia, taking the bag from her as she let her go. "How did your vacation go? You were with Michael, huh?" Roseline said slyly, throwing a flirtatious wink at her daughter."Mom!" She exclaimed with a laugh. "You don't have to be like this, you know. But I had a very good time with Michael and it isn't even what I would tag a vacation. But oh well, I enjoyed it.""But you were together for days snuggling and hugging and......" Roseline said in a mushy voice, holding the bag
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 104: Family Feud Ended
The eyes of both Richard and Roseline had water waiting in them, almost about to drop into a downpour as they looked at Treasure who was had a light look of anger in her eyes. Although, there was a little glimmer in her eyes which showed that she missed them as well. Sophia stood still by the stairs, like a statue watching her sister. Roseline was the first to cry out in a tone that displayed how happy and yet how sad she felt. "My daughter where have you been? Why did you disappear from us like that? We have all missed you so much."Her heart was pounding hard. There was a lot of things going through her mind at the time, but seeing her daughter standing right there was enough to open herself to a wide array of emotions that almost had her bursting into mad wailing.Their father also stood up, although he was quiet at first, was the first to walk towards his long lost daughter. "What happened to you, Treasure? Where did you go to? We were worried sick about you. We have been lookin
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 106: A Real Keeper
Robert got back to the hospital at about 6pm in the evening. The sky was not dark, neither was it bright, but it was aesthetically beautiful and pleasant compared to the day Robert had just had. He alighted from his car, a dead tired look marred his long and handsome face. He sighed and went it. The hospital was beaming with sickening, bright lights everywhere. They made his head hurt. And it seemed like it had gotten a lot busier than when he had first gotten there earlier that day. As he approached the emergency unit, he looked around, searching for his friend, Liam and Raymond. But they seemed to be out of sight. They were simply gone. He sighed once more, his hands in his pocket as he pushed the door slightly open, wishing that things hadn't turned for the worst."You're finally here." Liam said as soon as he saw Robert, his voice trailing with relief. "Where the hell have you been?""I'm sorry, Liam. Today's just been...... " He paused and grunted in frustration, as he wiped hi
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 107: A Fit
Robert felt a little nudge against his shoulder. His eyes reluctantly opened up slowly, fluttering lightly as he raised his head from the hospital bed. His gaze first met his grandfather, who's eyes were still closed. He looked around the room but there was no other person in the room. His eyes squinted suspiciously, as he lowered his head back to the bed."Maybe it was a dream." He muttered calmly. His lids still tired and ready to close once more in to a peaceful slumber, when he felt a touch on his shoulder, again.He rose up swiftly, his eyes scanning every bit of the room as he breathed nervously."Calm down, my child." Jude said calmly, laughing heartily in bed."Grandfather. You.... You're awake!" Robert exclaimed happily, standing up from the seat at once. "How do you feel? Are you alright?""Calm down, Robert." Jude said once more, coughing gently as he tried to sit up. Robert immediately held him up, helping him settle against the frame as gently as he could. "I'm fine. So d
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 108: Bad Memories
Jude breathed in and out in a laboured manner,his fists clenching in anger. Robert rubbed his back gently, trying to calm him down."Now you see why I didn't want to ask you anything? I was sacred that this would happen. I don't want anything to happen to you, please.""No, don't worry. I'm sorry, okay? That name just brings back a lot of bad memories. But I want you to know that those people are liars. Goddamn liars, I tell you.""Do you know who Mr David is?" Robert asked curiously, leaning in."Well, I do not. But if he's one of the Trendtones, then he's bad news. Mendev is one of them as well." He paused for a moment as he realized that Mendev was in fact, a dead man. "Or was.""That is new. Who are the Trendtones? What exactly are they all about? Mr David explained that they were a group of top business men who supported each other in the business world. And just now, you said I shouldn't believe a word they say. So who are they?""Like I said before, they are liars. Damn liars w
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 109: Heart To Heart
Robert didn't know when tears started rolling down his face. Seeing his grandfather in so much pain was one thing. And knowing all that happened to his own father was another. Suddenly, he realized that he too was crying and he immediately wiped his face with his hands. Leaving his eyes wet and watery as he embraced his grandfather who was now sobbing seriously."Oh! My poor son." Those were the only words that escaped from Jude's mouth as tears rolled down his wrinkled face."It's fine, grandfather. It's all fine." He paused for a second, swallowing hard. "If father could see you right now, you know he wouldn't want you thinking about all this. He wouldn't want you suffering either.""But I can't help it." He said amidst tears, a sad look swallowing his brows. "I know he wouldn't want me to feel this way but it just hurts whenever I remember it.""I understand, grandfather. You know I used to feel this way about my mother. I hated that she had to leave. But later, I realized she left
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 110: Dark Moon
It was almost 1am that morning. A tall man obviously in his mind thirties, stood by the operating table. White lights from the bulbs above shining vigorously at what he was doing. His light brown hair shone radiantly under the light as he concentrated on his work. Obviously, he was a family man who had stayed late at work. On his left side of his coat, just on the breast pocket was a little print written "Dr. Ford Brian".The room was extremely large with many operating tables and human sized refrigerators pressed against each side of the wall. On the operating table where Dr Ford stood, was the body of 59-year-old Rick Mendev of the Mendev Group. His naked and lifeless body was being examined ."Hmmm. Interesting." Dr Ford sighed, looking at the hole that went through his right shoulder to his back. "How is it that he died of such a minor wound? No important organ was punctured in the process of the assassination, so how is he dead?" He moved towards where his head laid and examined

"Now listen to me, you creep. You are just bluffing and..." The call ended before he could say anything else. He grunted in anger and walked back to where he was before. Raymond had alerted the police officers inside, and a chase had began to get Olivia. Robert walked back to them, breathing heavily."The police are after her." He tried to catch his breath."I know, sir. Let's meet with the detectives at once. I got everything she said on tape.""Yes!" Roberts eyes lit up. "Let's go, then." The two men rushed in back in to the building. Fransisco followed slowly behind them, but when he saw that they were really ahead of him, and wouldn't notice if he wasn't with them, he moved back. He looked from side to side as he rushed out of the premises. Meanwhile, many policemen ran out of the building like a colony of ants, each person dispersing themselves into different cars. Soon, the cars were out of sight. Robert walked out of the building with Raymond beside him. "It's a good thing you
Chapter 198: Tough Break
The detective squinted as he looked at his colleague. He turned back to Robert with a stern face before speaking."That is a serious accusation, sir. Are you sure about what you are saying?""Sure? Not exactly. But I really suspect that they might have had something to do with this. About Michael, I do not know how involved he might be. But Sophia? She even went to Juliet's house once to talk bad about me.""And how do you know that?""I saw her leave the house. I tried to ask her why she had come but she ignored me, and left hurriedly. Also, Juliet told me about it when I went in.""Hmm..." He sighed softly as he wrote something in his notebook. "And why would this Sophia want to talk bad about you to your girlfriend?""Sophia and I used to be married. But we got a divorce right before I met my grandfather. After that, she tried had to get back in to my life, but I refused. I think that made her very angry because she said questionable things after, things I didn't take serious.""Sh
Chapter 197: One Step Close
"He will be down here in a bit. We should wait in the car, so we can leave immediately he gets here." Raymond announced as he walked down the stairs. Robert immediately opened the door and walked out on hearing that. "Umm... Ryan." He called as he walked towards the car. "Some people will be here later today to do some fixing in here, let them in. They will show you their ID cards first.""Yes, sir." Ryan nodded. He left as soon as Robert waved him off."Sir..." Raymond called hesitantly. "Please, I need to speak with you.""What is this about, Raymond? You know this isn't the time for conversations that are not...""It is very important, sir.""Alright." He sighed and got in to the car. Raymond walked to the other side and got in as well. "What is it?""It's about Fransisco." He paused and swallowed hard. "I... I heard him in his room." Robert squinted with concentration. He didn't trust Fransisco one bit and with the way Raymond was speaking, he was ready to hear the worst."What
Chapter 196: Re-emerged Case
Robert didn't sleep the whole night. His eyes were open, fixed to the ceiling and filled with tears in his grandfather's room. It felt like the night would never end, like the torture and pain he was feeling would never end as well. Raymond knocked on the door several times to find out if he was alright, but he asked him to leave every single time. Just as his eyes were beginning to flutter with drowsiness, a bright light pierced through the window. He got off the couch immediately and headed to his room. There, he had a quick change of clothes before heading down to meet Raymond, and of course, Fransisco."Good morning, sir." Raymond said as soon as he saw him walking down the stairs. There was a smile on his face. One that Robert could not fathom at first. "Are you okay?""I'm fine." He said sharply with very steady eyes. He didn't seem like someone who had sobbed all night, maybe because he was very good at hiding his feelings. "We need to go to the station now.""But you've not h

"Gone? Gone?" She asked, totally calm. She was dazed for a moment. She stood still with tears running down her cheeks. "What is gone? What does that even mean?" She managed to murmer."I don't even know what happened. I met the policemen on my way to the house, and I saw her. I saw her right there being placed on the stretcher. And she wasn't moving."She shot an angry eye at him as he tried to explain what he had seen. He stopped immediately and looked down. It was clear that all he was saying didn't matter to her at this point. She didn't want to hear anything."What did you do to my sister, Robert? What did you do to her?" She yelled."No, no. What are saying? I do not know what exactly happened to her. But I will make sure they pay dearly for it.""You, liar. What did she ever do to you? She didn't deserve this. She didn't!" Mary yelled, crying bitterly. She didn't mind the staring eyes that looked in her direction. She just wanted to know why this had to happen to her sister. "
Chapter 194: Disbelief And Pain
"Police station? What for?" She asked with wide eyes. He couldn't see her but he could already tell the expression on her face. And that was because she sounded just as confused as she looked. "What does that have to do with my sister, Robert? Where is my sister?""I'm really sorry, Mary." He said with a shaky voice. He could no longer contain the hurt he felt. "They don't really know what happened to her, but....""But what?" She interrupted sharply with tears dancing freely in her eyes, waiting gor the perfect opportunity to pour out. She heard what he was saying, but she did not understand. She did not want to understand if it was really what she was thinking. "What are you talking about, Robert? Where the hell is my sister?""Just meet me at the station now." He ended the call immediately. He couldn't mutter the courage to tell her that Juliet was found dead just minutes ago. He took a deep, shaky breath and nodded at the police officer. "I'll be at the station."Immediately after
Chapter 193: Bloody Dusk
As he drove closer, he could see bright lights in a distance. He squinted hard to see exactly where the lights were coming from, but he couldn't see clearly. He sped up and was surprised to see police vehicles littered all over the place. He parked his car close by and looked on. He could see some officers placing barricade tapes around that particular area. Thoughts started to fly once more in his mind, and for a moment, his throat tightened. "No, no. Don't overthink anything, Robert." He said to himself and took a deep breath. He got out of the car, and walked quickly towards the area. As he got closer, he thought he recognised the car that was parked on the side of the road. He shook his head in disbelief and got even nearer to the scene. But before he could go past the barricade tapes, he was stopped by one of the officers."You can't come here, sir." The officer said roughly, his hand against Robert's chest in a light manner."What is going on here?" He asked in confusion, stari
Chapter 192: Quick Search
About two hours after Juliet left the office, Robert decided to do same. Juliet suddenly came to his mind. "Isn't she home yet?" He said under his breath. "Why hasn't she called yet?" He picked up his phone from the table and called her immediately. The first time, there was no response. He called again, and still, there was no response. "Well, I guess she's busy. I'll just call when I get home." He stood up and arranged all the documents, piling each on top of the other. He tucked everything under his arm and headed to the car."Good evening sir." The security guard hailed from his duty post."Yes, good evening." He answered before placing the documents in the back seat of the car. He closed the car door and walked closer to the young man. "Umm... Tomorrow, some men will be here to do a few checks and fixings in the building. Do let them in, alright?""Yes sir.""Alright then. Have a good night." He nodded and walked to the car. In no time, he sped off. As he drove down the street t
Chapter 191: Dead And Gone
It was 5pm now. The once blue sky was slowly getting darker. Little golden strips beatified the now grey like clouds. Juliet had a pile of documents in front of her and was working on them with utmost focus. Robert sat right opposite her, doing the same. His eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the glass wall, and then, at Juliet. He stared at her for a moment. He agreed with himself one more time that she was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on. It felt like time stopped during those few moments, and he was lost in the beauty he was beholding."What are you looking at, Mister?" She asked in a serious tone. Her eyes, pinned on the papers in front of her. Robert shook his head with a soft smile, and peered down at his watch."You should get going, honey. It's past five.""Oh!" She exclaimed calmly and placed the pen in her hand on the table. She looked up and met his eyes. "You really want me to go?""If there was an alternative at this point, then I would
