The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 28
"Arthur, You're not saying anything. What's the name of your street?""House 34, Roban street." That was the name that came to Arthur's mind. It was the house of one of his classmates who had once invited him. The guy had been close to Arthur. However, Arthur kept their relationship casual. He didn't want too much attachment with anyone. Arthur prayed in his heart that the place won't be an above standard residence else Jesse would raise brows and throw endless questions at him.He wasn't sure of the social status of his classmate who lived at the place."Ok, So you can give me the directions." Jesse said, causing Arthur to cast her a puzzled look. Jesse stole a glance at him and immediately focused on the road. "Don't tell me you don't know the way to your house.""Actually, I don't. We recently moved into the neighborhood so the place is still so new to me. Maybe we should check the map."Taking out his phone, Arthur realized that he couldn't surf the internet with the kind of phone

That's right. They might grow very close to each other and Jesse would want to pay Arthur a surprise visit. What would happen then? Arthur thought that he had gotten himself into a big sh*t. Well, there'd always be a way to get out of it. Arthur waved it aside and quickly dialed the cab driver's number. The man picked up as soon as the call came in. It was as if he had been expecting Arthur's call. "Sir, I thought you weren't going to call again.""Come and pick me up at Roban's street. I'm standing outside house number 34. Please be fast." Arthur ordered the man and ended the call immediately. It was already a few minutes to 9pm and Arthur thought his hanging around in a neighborhood that was not his looked rather suspicious. Ok, his classmate said he was staying at the place but how sure was he? Should he knock on the door and confirm? Nah, that'd be awkward. What if they were no longer staying at the place?Arthur thought it was stupid to visit someone by that time. Especially a f

Bryan was stunned when he heard what his girlfriend just said. A Rolls Royce? Really? Even his foster father that owns the company wasn't driving one. He had thought he'd always do anything that money could do just to please Janet and get her not to leave his side. However, this request was out of it. There was no way he could grant such a request.With furrowed brows, Bryan stole a glance at her and saw her smiling. "You don't mean that, do you?" He asked her."Of course I don't mean it. A Rolls Royce is a very expensive car and I know that you can't pull that off." Janet replied with a grin plastered on her face. Slapping Bryan's lap, she said. "You needed to see the look on your face. Come on, I didn't mean it, it was just a stunt. However, you would have to get me a car. I can't be seen boarding cabs when I have a rich boyfriend."Bryan glanced at her without saying anything. He just kept mute and continued driving.Seeing that Bryan wasn't saying anything, Janet slapped his leg a

Jenet sped off as soon as she made the declaration and Bryan could see that she meant every word. For a few seconds, he did not move. He just kept staring at the receding figure of Janet.Was she for real? It was indeed a serious matter and Bryan could not help but imagine where that was coming from. Why the pressure? Does she want him to go and steal just to please her? Bryan had no idea what he was going to do next. He loved Janet to a fault and would do anything to keep the relationship. Janet had just put him in a tight spot. She knew how much Bryan loved her and that was the reason for her action.Without a word, Bryan started his car and drove off.As Janet got into the elevator that led to their flat, she could not help but giggle evilly. She saw herself as a smart girl who could manipulate her boyfriend to get whatever she wanted. She thought that Bryan was so stupid. Was he so blind that he could not see Janet for who she was? A money monger and a big time gold digger. Janet

Rosaline thought that the young man before him was only putting up a show so she didn't treat the matter seriously. "Bryan, come on. You don't play with a kitchen knife. Put that down and leave the way. As you can see, I'm watching an interesting movie." Rosaline said as she gestured to Bryan to leave the way. Maybe he was playing a trick on her. Whatever he hoped to achieve by his little stunt was not funny.Ignoring his son's assumed drama, Rosaline adjusted herself on the cushion and sat at a position where she could see the movie playing on the television.With furrowed brows, Bryan glared at his mother. She's got to be kidding? Angrily biting his lower lip so it hurts, Bryan stood before his mother and cut a flesh on his wrist so it started bleeding. Glaring at his mother with bloodshot eyes, he said to her. "You think that I'm joking right? Maybe you want to be childless."Shocked, Rosaline stood up from the cushion and rushed over to her son when she saw his bleeding wrist..Sh

Arthur got home that night and decided to try Axel's number again. It was already around 10 pm. Taking his phone, Arthur dialed the number and ended it immediately. Axel could be asleep. It would be inappropriate to disturb the man when he was already sleeping. He decided against calling the man that night.He had a few domestic staff that he was still unfamiliar with because he was new to the place and not always at home. Axel knew everyone about the staff and he was his grandfather's right hand man. It was safe to say that they were to be trusted. Arthur could count how many times he had eaten at his house. It certainly meant that the cook ended up eating the meals they prepared for him. He was still contemplating whether or not to eat because it was late already.Even though he was used to midnight meals, he knew it was a bad habit and wanted to stop it. However, his stomach was not in agreement with him. It kept grumbling. Out of the two years he worked in the hotel, he could not

Arthur marched into the mall the next morning in his usual way. It was already open. However, because it was still very early in the morning, customers hadn't started trooping in their numbers. As he strode past the confectionery department, Arthur saw Hannah with someone he recognized from his father's company. He could remember him from the marketing department. Although Arthur didn't know his name, he was sure that the man was from Raremix. His eyes couldn't possibly be deceiving him. Or was it? Nah, it was certainly the person he thought. Since Hannah was the procurement officer, it meant that they were having a business deal. Yeah, he could remember. Raremix was into confectioneries and the man must have supplied some of it to the mall. Yeah, that's it.Confectioneries were everyday consumables and Raremix had a good number of malls and grocery shops it supplied to everyday. Arthur stood aside for a while and watched them converse. He kept wondering what they were discussing be

Arthur charged towards the lady but before he could reach her, a strong hand grabbed his wrist. He turned and saw Nick's disapproving expression as he shook his head.Shifting his gaze to the other direction, Anna had disappeared into her office. With furrowed brows, Nick asked him. "What were you going to do?""I wanted to confront her." Arthur replied seriously. He wanted to give her a piece of his mind and damn the consequences. Come to think of it, what would the consequence even be? He was the owner of the mall after all and had the power to throw them demeaning sisters out if he wished. However, he needed to find out first what they were hiding. The evidence was now staring at his face. Why were they always acting defensively? If they weren't hiding something, it wouldn't bother them if people were gossiping with their names. A clear conscience had nothing to fear. However, they were always on the lookout to see if people were gossiping about them. Wow! Now that's the meaning o

“Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the

With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I

Jesse stood up and started towards the door but Nick didn't follow him. He was still so dumbfounded.Dazed, he kept staring intently at Arthur and also at the sisters.“Um, Sir….. Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar

It was then that they saw Jesse and her sister standing alongside some rich young guy who just announced himself as a rich heir.Once their eyes met with each other, Jesse smiled and raised her brows at them before clinging tightly onto Arthur's arm. She no longer cared about the multiple cameras before her face.

“But I didn't ask you to kidnap anyone. I didn't ask you to commit a crime. Why did you have to kidnap Arthur's girlfriend? You should have….”“That's enough mom.” Janet replied with her voice raised as she turned around and faced her mother. Her raised voice distracted the others and an officer came to give her a stern warning.When the police officer left, Janet let out a deep sigh before saying to her mother. “It was all your fault, Mom. You pushed me into doing what I did. If you were ever a good mother, I would not have turned out like this and ended up here.”After glaring at her mother one last time, Janet snorted at her. “Just get me a good lawyer. That's the only help you can offer right now.”Stella was about to say something when a policeman came to meet them. “Ma'am, you should leave now. You've had enough time with her. Just go and get a lawyer because she'll be charged to court soon.”Without another word, Stella turned around and left the place to get a good lawyer.Des

“Please, have pity on my daughter.” Stella's voice was heard as she ran towards them and fell on her knees before Arthur.“Please, forgive Janet. I promise that she'll never do anything like this again.”Stella, Janet's mother, had been informed of her daughter's current predicament. She was also informed of her actions that led to her arrest so she hurried to the station.Even though she pushed Janet into such action, she never asked her daughter to commit a crime just to get money. However, she also took some blame. She had not been a good mother but Janet was still her daughter and she loves her dearly.“Arthur, for old times sake, please don't send my daughter to jail.”The trio watched the woman with disdain and exchanged glances. They said nothing at first. Turning to Jesse, Stella held onto her legs. “Ma'am, I understand that you're the victim. But please forgive my daughter and talk to your boyfriend. I promise you that nothing like this will ever happen again, I'll make sure

Swiftly, he took out his phone to pick the call. It was from the police and they had found Jesse.Jenny watched in anticipation as Arthur answered the call. She was even distracting his conversations with the police.“Is that the police? I hope they have good news this time?” Although from Arthur's tone, she could deduce that it was the news she had been anticipating.Arthur raised a finger at her and she stopped disrupting his call. However, she was already pacing the place in restlessness.“Ok, we'll be on our way.” With so much delight, Arthur turned to Jenny and nodded at her. “Jesse's has been found. I told you that the police will find her.”“Wow! That's great. Come on, let's go meet her. In fact, I need you to put a call through to that number which just called and let them give the phone to Jesse.”Jenny had started walking towards the car but stopped in her tracks to talk to Arthur.“Hurry up and dial the number. I want to speak with Jesse to find out how she's doing. I hope

“Please, just go back home and let us do our job. We understand that you're trying to help. However, the best way you can help now is by not getting involved so as not to escalate the whole situation.”After a long pause, Arthur nodded at the policemen and instructed Dario.“Please drive back home.”“Right away Sir.”The officers drove away from there while Dario turned to the direction leading to Arthur's home.Meanwhile, the policemen that had been following Janet were surprised to see her pull over at her mother's coffee shop. From where they were watching, they saw her alight from the car and started towards the door of the shop.They had thought that she had other places to go. After waiting fruitlessly for some time, one of the men stylishly went closer to her car and placed a tracker on it. After that, they left the place.The police were certain that Janet knew about their presence which was why she stayed put at the coffee shop.After successfully placing the tracking device

Arthur stood speechless at a spot. He could not believe that Jenny was blaming him for Jesse's kidnap. She was even calling Janet his girlfriend.“She's not my girlfriend and will never be one. Jesse is the only woman I love.” Arthur spoke to the retreating figures of the ladies. However, no one replied to him.Once Jenny was out of sight, he took out his phone to make a few calls. He also contacted Axel to make the necessary arrangements for Benita's education. He had already made the promise to the girl and won't go back on it.After forcing himself to eat something, Arthur tried to plead with Jenny to eat. However, she was able to come out of the room after much persuasion.“Please, come and eat something.”“Have you heard from the police?” Jenny asked Arthur with a serious face, she was already looking sick from getting worried for her sister's safety.“Nothing yet.” Arthur replied with his eyes glued to hers. “Please, eat something first so you can have the energy to worry about
