The Rise Of The Consortium Heir Chapter 39
Gregory got home very confused. He lay on the bed, thinking of how to meet the requirements of the lady, without exposing his issues to the family. The money was there, but what excuse did he need to take it without making account for it?He couldn't take unnecessary risk, because Mariana's life was at stake, should Becca find out about them. As he lay quietly, drowning in his thoughts, the door went wide open, and Becca joined him on the bed.She stared at his boring face, she could sense something eating him up. She patted his cheek, and stared into his eyes."What's the matter? you don't look so good," she said, feeling concerned about him. He had to force a smile, to make her worry less, but she knew him too well. And he knew she could be very persuasive. But, not this time.Gregory was ready to take the secret to his grave, if need be, as long as he was protecting Mariana. "Come on, let me help you." She urged him, and he smiled and patted her cheek."I'm fine darling, I'm just

"Great! So Cara is visiting you in Vancouzer? And you'll always warn me against Frank, yet, here you go." Pamela's voice echoed from the phone. Kelvin let out a low laugh and fixed his canvas. "My case is different Pam, I know what I'm doing, but clearly you don't. Because if you do, you wouldn't be bringing Frank close to any of the family's finances." He responded in a cool voice. He was standing in his room, fully dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a white T-shirt. Cara had phoned him earlier, requesting permission to visit him in Vancouzer.It was very big news for him. He had arranged to show her around when she got there before Pamela called him. "Forget about that, I actually know what I'm doing. Bringing Frank closer to the family is to test him to know if you're right about him. If he betrays my trust I'll kick him aside in the blink of an eye," Pamela responded confidently, and Kelvin widened his eyes in surprise. A low mocking laugh escaped his mouth, and Pamela felt

A warm smile spread across her face, and she dragged her little luggage towards his car.The cool breeze carried her hair back and forth, and across her face. She got to his car and knocked on the passenger window glass. He turned as he saw her and was stunned by her beauty.He quickly opened the door and she ushered her in. She smiled happily, seeing him staring at her in admiration."What? Stop looking like you've not seen me before now." She said with a bright smile. "Your beauty is timeless Cara. I just can't stop admiring you. How was your journey?" He said, and she smiled at him, but she had a feint of sadness that he hadn't noticed. "Yeah, was cool. Thanks. So your house huh? I ca

Fear, Tension, and Panic filled the air, as Kelvin gazed at Cara's lifeless body. His lips quivered, and he swallowed hard."This can't be." He thought. He widened his eyes, analyzing the terror before him. He was in shock. It all happened so quickly."Ambulance!!" He cried out and knelt before her lifeless body. The crowd circled him, watching the terrific scene in shock. His scream could be heard from a distance, as he shouted in pain, "Can somebody call the emergency services?!" In no time, an ambulance arrived and they quickly put her in. He entered his car and followed the ambulance behind as they drove quickly. His eyes became watery, he couldn't think straight anymore. He wiped his eyes again and again, ignoring his ringing cell phone. "Cara please, wake up, wake up." He kept muttering to himself. As they got to the hospital, he ran after the wheel stretcher, pushing aside every doctor and nurse who tried to stop him. When they got to the hospital emergency room, he wanted

"I'm sorry, but there is something I need to take care of here. You guys can go, I'll catch up soon." Gregory said to Theo, after he managed to drag himself back to them."Is this a joke? Gregory your son is out there in the scene of this misfortune. What's more important than being with him now?" Uncle Theo asked, curiously, and General Orlando glared at Gregory. "I understand what you mean Theophilus, and trust me, I won't be leaving if it's not important. Y'all can go. I'll meet you shortly," Gregory said and turned around, making it clear to them that he wasn't asking for permission. As he threw a few steps further, Theo stopped him."At least, take some men. We don't know if this was an intentional attack on any of our families. You don't want to risk being alone," Uncle Theo suggested, but Gregory nodded his head in disapproval. "I'll be fine. That's for your concern." He said and walked away quickly."Greg! Greg! Greg!" Theo called repeatedly, but he ignored him and drove aw

At sunrise the following day, Kelvin had arrived at the hospital. He suspended work for the day, because his mind was occupied with different thoughts, and he couldn't focus on anything. He sat beside her sick bed, staring at her intensely with a guilty countenance. Her face was bruised, with a fractured left hand. Seeing that she was still in a coma, he kissed her forehead and stood up to leave.The door went open, and Gregory entered the room hastily. He froze on seeing her condition. "Hi son," he greeted Kelvin, patting his back."Hi Dad, you came?" Kelvin muttered, his voice low and tired. "Yeah, I came as fast as I could. How did this happen, Kelvin?" Gregory asked curiously, and Kelvin sighed. His gaze fixated on Cara. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I've been saying it for a long time, but no one is taking it seriously." Kelvin said, staring at his father with anger in his eyes… "What do you mean? Talk to me son," Gregory said. "Whoever that driver was Dad, he was

Uncle Theo and General Orlando's friendship had fallen apart again.The general accused the Woodlucks of conspiring to kill his daughter, and no amount of plea from the family could make him think otherwise. The police on the other hand had been doing their best to catch the driver who knocked her into Coma. But it was just as if the crime never existed, and the culprit had vanished into thin air. After spending 2 weeks away from the company, Kelvin finally decided to resume. The day was young and promising, Kelvin drove out of his mansion with his security guards. He had decided to keep close security, in case someone was coming for his family. As they got to the company, all eyes fell on him as he alighted from the car. The employees stared at him admiringly and began to mumble, but he didn't care to look at anybody. He sauntered towards hi

On the cold winter night, Kelvin had gone out with Jake and Tommy, the new friends he made in Vancouzer. They sat comfortably in a bar, but Kelvin couldn't focus. His mind was somewhere else.Jake noticed his quietness and realized that he wasn't having fun, and that was the main reason for coming to the bar in the first place. Jake signaled Tommy, who was carried away by the sight of a beautiful young lady beside him. "What's up, bro?" Jake asked, but Kelvin kept mute. "You need to start putting yourself together. Besides, Cara is alive and will be well soon," Jake continued, and Kelvin sighed and pressed his hand on his forehead."It's not that bro. Look, I know Cara and will be fine. What I don't know is what she'll do when she gets better. Besides, the son of a bitch that did this to her is still out there in the open. How do I know that it wasn't an attempt on her life?" Kelvin said worriedly, and Jake nodded his head slowly. He was beginning to see things from Kelvin's view.

He was panting heavily, after a long day at the police department, he had failed to convince the police that Mark Muller was behind the sudden death of Frank. Given the situation, it became obvious that Mark must be monitoring his movement, somehow, he managed to find out whatever he did or discussed with anyone. “Maybe he knows about Juliana already, or maybe he doesn't." Kelvin thought. He paced around the sitting room, thinking of the next move now that Frank was dead. His phone rang, and he glanced at the screen. It was a call from Dead Target. He sighed and dropped the glass of whiskey on the table gently. “What?" He said abruptly as he picked up the call. “I believe you have a mission for me. Let me hear it."Kelvin exhaled and left his seat with a little worry all over his face. “I was going to call you, but some

The situation behind Uncle Theo's arrest turned out to be a big disadvantage for his course, and there was no one to turn to for help. He left the bed and started making his Early morning push-ups when he heard his phone ring. He abruptly walked over to the bed and noticed it was a call from Fubris Company in Vancouzer. “What the hell?" He said and picked up the phone. It was just 7:30 am, while would he be getting such a call he thought, so he picked up the call.“This is Kelvin, what's the matter?"

He glanced at his side clock, past 8 already. He jumped off the bed, today was the day when he got to represent his Uncle at the Silverwood Associates.

Would you like me to make something else for you before you leave the house?” She asked, and Kelvin sighed. "Naah! Don't worry, Carolina, I don't have any time to eat.

Mariana swallowed nervously, her eyes darted around the room as she thought of the best way to say what she had in mind. Mark was someone she knew to be impatient and arrogant, his temper issues were something to be concerned about. She exhaled, darting her eyes around the room.“What is it? I don't have all day." He roared, and she flinched. She swallowed hard and pouted slowly."Uhm… there is a problem," she said. Sitting on his sofa inside his sitting room, he raised his brow, showing his concern for what she had to say. " Spit it out,” he commanded, and she swallowed.Fear engulfed her, thinking about what he would do when she told him the situation."It's Gregory. It happened just like you said.
