The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 36: Rich Robert
He quickly got in the shower to freshen up before heading out. He really did miss Raymond being around, ready to help him with anything he wanted. The house was extremely quiet, with the maids going on with their normal duties, silently. Raymond was really the one who made the house seem alive. Robert hoped earnestly that he was doing just fine at the hospital and felt indebted to him for saving his grandfather's life. He went to see how his grandfather was doing that morning. As he walked down the hallway, he remembered the first day he has stepped foot in the mansion and how Raymond had shown him around gracefully. He could never forget such kind gestures and promised in his heart, to reward him. Soon he was at the door of his Grandfather's room. He knocked once and waited for a response but heard nothing, so he pushed the door slowly open and went in. The room was quiet and neat, serene and peaceful. And right on the bed was Jude. He appeared to be sleeping but Robert's mind, he fe
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 37: Gift of Gratitude
"Wow!" Robert exclaimed loudly. Jude laughed amused by his exclamation. "Are you serious, grandfather? That is so amazing." He stood up, clapping happily as he walked around the room. Jude's eyes didn't come off him as he walked about. Robert's enthusiasm reminded him so much of his late son, Pierce. And that convinced him further that Robert was the right man for the job."You remind me so much of your father, my boy. And I know you will make proud just as he did. I know you'll do even greater works than he did." Robert smiled, not knowing what to say. He nodded and finally mouthed the words "thank you"."I am grateful for all your support, grandfather. But is there anything you have to say to me now? Because I think we should be on our way to visit Raymond.""Oh, yes. That's true. There isn't anything else, my child. I'll get ready quickly." Jude said, getting out of bed as Robert walked out."See you in a bit, grandfather." Robert replied as he waltzed out of the room. He thought a
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 38: The Fight
Mrs Richard was almost unable to sleep that night. Her daughter has asked her to get some rest at home but what she got was the exact opposite of that. She was worried, troubled and could not being herself to close her ears in a peaceful sleep. That morning, she got up extremely early, waking her husband up as well to get ready. And in no time, they left for the station. But things didn't go the way she had planned because when they arrived at the station, there was a little riot outside and that stopped them from bailing their child immediately. When the riot was sorted, Roseline rushed into the building, greeting the officers hurriedly as she walked past them, to go see her daughter."Good morning, my darling." Roseline said eagerly, her voice shaking as she spoke. "You're here so early, mom. Did you even get any sleep?" Roseline asked, noting her mother's large eye bags."Don't worry about me, dear. How are you doing this morning? We're about signing the documents for your bail, a
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 39: Perfectly Planned
With that, Michael walked out of the cell, swiftly moving back home. It had taken him a lot of self control to not hit Sophia, so much self control that even him, couldn't fathom. But as he walked out, it began to feel like the anger was swelling up inside of him. It began to feel like of he didn't unwind soon, he would explode. Quickly, he rushed in to an empty alley and screamed out loud, punching against the wall severally, until he bled. He stopped suddenly, breathing heavily as he calmed down. He felt significantly better as he wiped off the blood on his shirt and proceeded out of the alley, where he took a cab.Sophia, on the other hand was still at the police station. Her mother holding her as she was led to the car. She was sulking terribly as she thought about her exchange with Michael just moments ago. She swelled in anger, as she settled in the back seat of the car. Her mother rubbing her back gently, as if pacifying her. She felt angry, her ears could almost smoke out fire
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 40: Work and People
Raymond, Robert and his grandfather, Jude left the hospital later that day. The doctor had discharged Raymond since he suffered no major injuries. He had sustained only a few scratches and cuts which had been duly tended. And he was significantly better than the day before, almost fine. They were in the car, on their way home. It was getting late, at that point. The sky was transitioning from the dim orange colour that it was, to a light neon colour. Yet, again another beautiful scenery. Robert was very much appreciative of nature and it's aesthetic existence. It made him think of the aesthetics of his being."Once again Raymond, thank you. You don't know how grateful I am to you for what you did for my grandfather. Do well to give me your details when we arrive at the mansion so I can fulfil my promise." Robert said once more, in the car. All the gratitude Raymond was receiving made him feel jumpy because he didn't know how exactly to react to it."You don't have to mention it again,
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 41: Daydream
He smiled wholely, his dentition sparkling brightly. His smile lit up his whole face, as his eyes squinted cutely, making them look smaller than they actually were. His features were perfectly highlighted, giving view to the very handsome man that he was. Robert was happy, genuinely happy. All the anxiety and nervousness he had felt not long ago vanished into thin air. At that point, he felt confident and comfortable, even. Jude was one happy pill. He knew exactly what to do to light up the atmosphere and release tension. From his joyful laughter which went on and on, it was evident that he had achieved his goal - making Robert feel less tense. The idea had come to Jude very early that morning and immediately, he called Hailey, asking her for a simple decor at the office and a cake for a small office celebration. She was happy to do another job for the Williams and accepted it wholeheartedly, all without Robert's knowledge."Thank you so much, everyone." Robert started, his face lit b
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 42: Solitude
Meanwhile, Sophia was at home that morning, merely able to lift herself from her bed. To her, everything just seemed extremely overwhelming and overbearing. She stirred in her bed from side to side, one would think it was due to her not being comfortable but her problems were far from that. After what happened at the party and the time she spent in the prison cell, she could not stop thinking about Robert. It was like her eyes had been opened after a long time with a thick blindfold on. She lay lazily in bed, staring at her ceiling as she reminisced old times with Robert when it was just the two of them. All she could see was a man who tried his best to please her all the time, someone who cared for her and her wellbeing in general. She sighed as she wondered how she became so blind to all his efforts. Immediately, Michael came to her mind. His rude and ignorant ways played like a movie in her mind. She hissed in despise at the thoughts of Michael, embracing her thoughts of Robert onc
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 43: Surface Beauty
She immediately took a quick shower and headed for her wardrobe. She looked at all the dresses but none seemed good enough to be worn. Just then, her eye caught the glimpse of a dress Robert had gotten her one time. It was on the floor of the wardrobe because she had put it there some time ago. She picked it up immediately, shaking the dust off it as she pressed it against her body, looking in the mirror. It was a nice, red gown Robert had gotten her for a valentine's date when they were still very much in love. She quickly jumped into the gown, adjusting it until it fit. It still looked as beautiful on her as it did on the day of the date and it made her feel good. Robert would certainly be impressed, she thought happily. She brought out her makeup bag and began applying some foundation on her face. She knew she hadn't done much regarding her looks for the past days and didn't want to appear pathetic to her ex lover. In no time, she was done with her makeup. She looked at her reflect

"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
Chapter 195: Blood And Water
"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
