The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 14: The Dinner
Robert followed behind Raymond without a word till they got to the stairs. It was dark outside already and the house was at ease and generally quiet."Is it downstairs? The dinning room?" Robert asked almost impatiently. He was famished after his long rest."No, sir. Here we are." Raymond replied, pointing patiently at the first door at the other side of the staircase. "Ah, finally. I'm famished." He chuckled lightly as he talked, walking past Raymond into the room. His grandfather, Jude sat at the far end of the table waiting. "You're finally here, my child." He said upon looking up and seeing Robert."Good evening, grandfather." He greeted as he walked towards the table. The dinning room was spacious, with cozy looking furniture. There was a big dinning table in the middle of about eight chairs and Robert wondered if his grandfather usually ate there all alone."Good evening, my child. I hope you had a good rest." Jude asked between smiles, as he observed Robert's face."Yes, gran
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 15: Fathers' Reunion
"Thank you so much, grandfather." Robert stood up to head back to his room. Looking at his grandfather, he was glad once more that he finally had someone close enough to be seen as a father figure."It's just food, Robert. It's nothing." Jude replied gently. He was also done eating but wanted to sit a while before going to bed."No, grandfather. Not just for the food but for everything. Thank you so much." He said once again. His voice, solemn and filled with genuine gratitude."You're welcome, my child. And thank you too." Jude smiled at his grateful nature. "You're going to bed now, l see. Get ready tomorrow, I have a surprise for you." Robert nodded gently, his face beaming with smiles. "Goodnight, my child." "Goodnight, grandfather." Robert smiled, as he turned and walked away. He wondered what Jude had in store for him as he headed to his room. Raymond had left him soon after pointing out the dinning room. Robert waltzed graciously to his room, gliding like a peacock, head high
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 16: Mother's Love
"I'm sorry, my child. I kept talking about how much sadness I felt over your father's passing, not knowing what you had to go through as well, losing both parents. Would you want to tell me a little about your mother?"Jude asked, feeling pity for his grandson. No one had ever asked Robert that. He had never shared his grief over his mother's death with anyone. Jude asking him that made him feel like someone did care about him. A rush of relief flowed through him as he held his grandfather by the shoulder."Let's go get breakfast, grandfather. I'll tell you everything there." He said, leading Jude back to the car."I don't know why I feel this way but I believe you are full of surprises and I can't wait to see you do wonders keeping up our family legacy." Robert smiled, hearing those words from his grandfather. It did feel good to have somebody believe in you, he thought. This was something he had lacked since his mother passed. So, his gratitude multiplied even more."Thank you, gran
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 17: Hell breaks
"Funny? You think that's funny?" Grandfather asked, his face a deep frown that cut downwards through the fine lines that decorated his face. "There is nothing funny about what happened to you. You weren't supposed to go through all that and I feel sad about it. I'm really sorry. I still don't understand why your father never told me about you and your mother. I would have reached out, but all that doesn't matter anymore now, does it?""I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I just hope whatever reasons dad had for hiding us were actually reasonable. You had to see how wretched I looked, how unkempt I was. It was really hard with a father, but it became worse with mother gone as well." For Robert, this was some kind of therapy. He had never really opened up to anybody about it, so it created pent up anger and pain whenever something made him remember. But here he was, saying it out freely without any restrictions or concern. Something he never knew he needed. "Losing mother was hard, worse
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 18: Party Preparations
Robert signalled at Raymond, who was standing my the door for him to call the waiter."Waiter!" Raymond called out rather authoritatively, resting his weight against a near table. She rushed in at once. Her blonde hair elegantly dangling around her shoulders. She was rather clumsy for a waitress, or maybe the sight of a fine man such as Robert made her weak in the knees. "Can I have the bill?" Robert asked calmly, his nice dentition on display, giving him an irresistible charm. She nodded quickly, as if nervous before mouthing the word "okay." She went in and came back out after a few minutes with a small piece of paper in her hand. She handed it to Robert, her hands almost trembling as she smiled sheepishly."Umm, okay. Here you go." Robert said, giving her a wad of cash."This is too much sir. It's way past your bill." She finally spoke out for the first time, obviously surprised by the amount of money Robert had given her."A tip for your services. Thank you." Robert replied, imm

As soon as he got home, he went up to his Grandfather's room, presenting the suit he had gotten him."Look what I got for you, grandfather. It sure would looked nice and I'm hoping it's just your size." Robert felt good, not just good but very happy."I already have a ton of suits, my child. I could have just used one of them for the event. You didn't have to. All that money was for you to get yourself things, not me." Jude was smiling, his wrinkles looked just perfect on his old cheeks."Well, I insist, grandfather. It's a new dawn for us all, so you more than certainly deserve a new suit." Jude laughed at his enthusiasm."Okay, my child. It's really nice though. I like it. Thank you.""Well, I'm super glad you like it. I'll have the maids bring you some food. I'll be in my room."Hailey sent some samples not long after and Robert was duly impressed. Although he needed something classier. He sent her the money and the preparations fully kick-started. Robert felt extremely anxious. Th
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 20 : Joy and Regrets
It was already dark when they arrived at the venue. From the outside, lights illuminated the walkway. A red carpet laid in the middle of the ha, from the entrance to the stage. The place looked even more magnificent at night, beaming with light and reeking of expensive class. The whole scenery was exceptionally beautiful."Told you Hailey was good, didn't I?" Jude asked, equally admiring the whole setting."Yes, she is. She really is." Robert confirmed. The guests weren't there yet, so it was a perfect time for Robert to go in without being seen before his unveiling. He stayed backstage in a nice room, with his grandfather, eagerly waiting for the event to start. Not long after, the music came on and Jude had to leave the room to go welcome his guests. He stood by the entrance, welcoming each guest that was in attendance, with Raymond by his side. Everyone were wowed by the decorations, as they were all heard murmuring about how beautiful it looked.Soon, all the chairs were filled an
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 21: Even More Regrets
Her eyes widened, pain and displeasure staining her expensive make up as she looked back at all the people clapping, then to her parents. Her father and mother were still clapping and even with the smiles on their face which were obviously forced, one could still see the pain written underneath it. She stood still for some seconds as though she had seen an anomaly or a ghost. "What have I done to myself?" She asked almost aloud, just a bit beneath her breath.Flashbacks of all the times she had mistreated him flood her mind, waging war against it as she lowered herself in to seat. It felt like she was drowning in the applause of the crowd but could not be helped out. Michael, her lover stood right beside her in shock. He had been annoyed that Raymond didn't call his name during the recognition of guests but all he felt at this point was stupidity. For a moment, he regretted his rude and wicked character but brushed it off few seconds later."What are you doing, babe? Roberts being a W

Chapter 199: The Final Verdict
"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

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
