The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 116
As Alex's car sped down the familiar streets towards his mansion, his mind raced with a flurry of thoughts and emotions. The events of the day had unfolded with startling rapidity, leaving him reeling with shock and disbelief. His phone buzzed severally with Richard Dickson's call, and Alex furrowed his brows as he ignored the calls. He wasn't sure what to tell him if he eventually had his call picked up.Paulina, his fiance, had been abducted right under his nose, and Roseline, who had accompanied him, was nowhere to be found. The graduation ceremony, meant to be a joyous occasion, had descended into chaos and tragedy with the brutal murder of Anthony Bailey, a man whom Alex respected and admired. He was like a father to him. Alex's mind raced back to Lawrence, and he called, asking for a backup.Arriving at the mansion, Alex was greeted by a scene of utter chaos. Police cars lined the street, their flashing lights illuminating the night sky. Concerned neighbors gathered in small clu

"Get them some water and a snack. Make them talk; I need answers about what I need." Rubby ordered and cut the call. "What did you order him? Don't tell me you told them about the gold." Xavier looked at Rubby with disbelief in her voice."They are my trusted men, and I can vouch for them with my life." Rubby replied with a smirk."Do you understand what you have done? Father would kill his son or daughter over something as this, and you dare tell me you told some thugs?" Xavier shouted angrily, standing to his feet. "Do you even tell them not to kill the both of them? I hope you didn't forget we have Roseline Dickson, whose father won't mind chopping off our heads if he finds out about this."You worry over nothing. I had made sure this incident wouldn't lead them to us. I promise." Ruby said, gently trying to calm Xavier down.The two of them chatted about how they were going to get their words straight in case they were interrogated by the cops. "Make sure they are not killed."

Alex listened carefully to what Mr. Lawrence had to say. "I will come over to your villa once I am free." Alex cut off the line and looked at Andrew. "I have to go now. Can you please take care of her and make sure she doesn't leave the house?" He instructed"Are you sure I don't leave the house? What are you talking about, Father? Do you plan on having me locked inside the house forever?" Naomi looked at Alex. "You know I have a lot of enemies, as they are currently attacking me with all they have. I need you to be safe, and don't think about going anywhere without my security. Where the hell were my men when Paulina was taken?" Alex looked at Andrew, a little angry. "I am sorry, Lex, but that is a bygone issue. What we need to focus on is how we are going to get Paulina and Roseline back." Andrew replied The door to the mansion opened, and Richard Dickson walked in. "Where the hell is my daughter? Where are you keeping her?" He asked, looking tensed. Alex looked by his flanks and

"It is a long story. The picture of the man you are seeing, can you help me track him?" Alex looked at Lawrence. "Of course, anything for you, son. I will let you know when I find out anything." "Thank you; I am grateful I met you, Mr. Lawrence. I couldn't have done much without you. Also, do you know why anyone would want to kill Anthony Bailey?" Alex asked, looking at Lawrence. "I don't know, Alex. Every man has his own enemies. I have mine, and I am sure you are having yours too." Lawrence replied The both of them walked out of the room, with Lawrence telling Alex how he and Brandon had been friends and how many people wanted Brandon's head because of the gold mines. "I wish I was here to protect your father." "I am sure you did your best." Alex replied Agent Miller gathered information about the individuals Alex had mentioned, cross-referencing their backgrounds, connections, and possible motives. Each name on the list became a thread in a complex web of potential suspects, a

Upon entering the poorly lit structure, Alex's heart raced with a blend of fear as he followed Sky. He constantly remembered his lessons with Anthony Bailey, finding power in the recollections of his mentor's guidance. Each advancement seemed like a jump into uncertainty, yet he was determined not to be hindered by fear. While walking, he scanned from side to side in hopes of spotting Roseline or Paulina.Within the structure, the atmosphere was tense as the sound of their footsteps echoed in the thick silence. Alex was very alert, examining his surroundings carefully for any potential threats. Faint murmurs ahead made it evident that there were others in the building.Sky guided Alex further into the building's hallways, holding onto Alex's arm tightly. Even though Alex appeared calm on the outside, he could still feel the tense atmosphere in Sky's behavior, a quiet caution against making any unexpected actions.At last, they arrived at a poorly illuminated chamber where two figures

Rubby and Sky escaped, while the rest of the men were captured. "Call an ambulance!" I shouted in fear. Agent Miller immediately called out to his men, telling them to get the ambulance to the site. "Stay with me, honey. I promise you're going to be fine." Alex promised, seeing the frightened look on her face. "I need everyone to please exit the building." Agent Miller shouted as many of Ruby's hostages were released. The wailing sound of the ambulance was heard as it got closer. The men came out of the van and had Paulina's body carried in. Alex wanted to follow them, but Miller had him stay back to help with the ongoing investigation. "Don't worry, she would be fine." " Fine? I don't think you understand how severe her injuries were." Alex shouted in anger as he entered the van. As the ambulance drove into the night, the doctor in charge tried to stabilize Paulina's heartbeat, and he also applied pressure to her wound. He looked at the gunshot wound and looked at Alex. "Is she goi

As Alex took Paulina back home, all he could think about was what could have happened to him if she had died. His mind went back to the night and how he had heard the gunshot and how Paulina had landed on the floor gasping for breath. He looked at her and was happy that she was hale and healthy. As they got back into Davis's mansion, Naomi rushed at Paulina. She had anxiously waited for her to come back home. Paulina smiled weakly at Naomi, " I am glad you are alright. I couldn't sleep or drink." Naomi said worriedly " I am sorry I had all of you worried," Paulina said gently looking at all the staff and Andrew Cooper. " Fiona, can you please have my room tidy up? She would be staying in my room from now on." Alex ordered and everyone smiled They all knew how over-caring Alex could be especially with Paulina facing a near-death experience. The staff went about their normal duties and a delicacy was immediately made to celebrate the arrival of Paulina back into the house. As they a

Xavier was in his room when he heard the news and Rubby was declared wanted by the authorities. " what?" He looked at the television set before. His mind raced with the possible outcome if Rubby was caught. He knew he needed to act fast and break all ties with him. Richard Dickson would have him murdered if he heard he was in collaboration with Rubby to have his only daughter kidnapped. Xavier was about to make a call to some of his lawyers when a strange number came in. Picking up the call Xavier said nothing. " Hello," Rubby's voice was visibly heard. " Ruby? Is that you?" Xavier asked trying to keep his voice low. Sandra was asleep and he didn't want to wake her up. " I told you this was a bad idea. What did you do?" " Listen to me, there is no time to shift blame right now. I need to get out of the country and you are going to help me. " Rubby said assertively" What do you mean help you? Do you want me to be one a fugitive?" Xavier shouted and quickly covered his mouth " Don't
