The Rise Of The Betrayed Heir

Adrian Johnson picked out the most colorful bouquet from the shelf of the flower shop and had it wrapped up. "I'm surprising my hardworking wife tonight, she's getting back from a business trip," he explained to the florist who smiled and wrapped up the bouquet for him.Regina, his wife for the past few years had been working extra hard to secure a deal in her family business and she had finally gotten it done. Adrian was so excited to see her and celebrate, maybe, he might even get lucky and she would finally allow them to make love tonight, he thought. A few minutes later, he stopped in front of the neighbourhood and went across the street to a mall to grab a bottle of the finest wine. He's already ordered her favorite Chinese food and he'd fix her a warm bath before she returned. But to his surprise, he saw her car parked just a few blocks from the mall. Adrian wondered if her flight had somehow arrived early and she failed to inform him, he walked closer to the car, and to his s

Adrian watched as Regina remorselessly painted him as the devil before all her workers, "You are a dog! Did you expect me to keep tolerating your cheating habits? I have loved you and what do you pay me back with? Your flings and mistresses! I've had enough, I want a divorce!" She snapped. "Have you forgotten so soon that I'm the one who caught you in the car, pants down with your lover?" He asked her. Regina pretended to gasp and laid her hands on her chest, "You liar! How could you try to put this on me, Adrian? You should be begging for forgiveness instead of lying after what you've done to me," she said, shaking her head, "You should be ashamed."Adrian shook his head at her shameless nature. It was clear that she had it all plotted out just to save her reputation. "You're right, I should be the one ashamed to even be called a partner to such an unspeakable woman," he replied and shook his head, "Your lies have just made me lose my job and now everyone believes I wronged you when

Adrian watched as Regina and her lover both arrived in a convertible and stepped out of the car. The crowd went frenzy and struggled to ask Regina questions about the divorce. "Miss Regina, how long has it been since you knew that your husband has been cheating on you?" One of the reporters asked. "Ma'am, how did you cope with such a vile man?" Another one asked and Regina wore a casual expression on her face as she replied. "I don't want to relive all the hurt and pain he's put me through, thankfully this is the last day I'll spend with such a man," Regina replied with a sad look for the cameras that flashed everywhere and finally walked past the paparazzi. "Are you going to lie your way into the courtroom?" Adrian asked in disgust and Regina turned to see him standing on the porch. She smirked at him and linked hands with her new lover as she drew closer to him and whispered, "There's no lie, not when the entire world believes it," she replied and chuckled. Her lover looked at

"Are you sure of this?" Adrian asked and the secretary nodded. "I would never say a thing to you that I wasn't sure of, master," she replied. Adrian nodded and decided that he had to lead Richmond on. He had to find out more about him. "If his company is bankrupt, does that mean he may be only with Regina because of the money?" He asked. But it wasn't even a question that he needed to ask. Something told him that Richmond was indeed using Regina. An amused smile crossed his face at the thought of it. It would be quite ironic. "Good, keep tabs on him. Do not turn down his proposal no matter how shitty, I need you to keep him hopeful, make him a part of the company," he said. Taraji looked at him oddly, like she didn't trust his choice but she simply nodded. "As you wish, young master," she replied and left. The next day, after his morning run, Adrian decided to have another meeting with Traaji. He now knows that not only is Richmond involved in illegal activities, but he is also tr

The auditorium was decorated with the most exquisite design. It was the wedding of the famous and impeccable Miss Regina Lawson and she was going for the best. Adrian arrived at the wedding wearing a casual white shirt and a pair of black trousers. Although he was quite smartly dressed for the occasion, he found out upon arrival that he was too underdressed.Everyone else was flamboyantly dressed in an almost dramatic manner but even Adrian wasn't surprised, after all, it was his ex-wife they were talking about, she was the mistress of drama and extravagance. Just as she walks through the front door, his eyes meet with one of Regina's friends. He can look away quickly but it seems that she recognizes him instantly scowling, she walks away briskly and he watches her walk to the front seat and tell Regina of his arrival. Adrian turned away from her and ignored her act completely as he mingled in the crowd. Everyone who attended the event seemed to look at him oddly like he'd done So
