The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 66
"Bryan! What happened to your head?" Rosaline's question caused him to stop in his tracks. Turning around, he scratched his head and stammered. "I-I sli… I slipped and fell on the floor." Standing to her feet, Rosaline started towards Bryan and stopped before him. Lifting her hand over his head, she tilted it so her eyes could see the injury well. It was just a small patch at the back of his head but Rosaline didn't see it as such. "How and where did it happen? Tell me the truth. Did you get into a fight with anyone?"Bryan shook his head. "No Mom, I just told you it was an accident and it happened at Janet's place."Rosaline's face suddenly turned icy. 'That girl might be my Son's doom. I have to do something about it.'"What are you thinking mom?"Rosaline glared at her Son and said. " That girl will cause you so much trouble in the future if you don't drop her."Bryan was stunned to hear that from his mother. He was so obsessed with Janet that he can't even imagine living without

Arthur quickly got prepared to go see his grandparents at the Manson. Since he had nothing to do at home, he left not long after he woke up. His grandparents were having breakfast when he walked into the house. Although he only came to the place once, the security quickly recognized him and opened the gate for him.The domestic staff were also not left out as they kept bowing to him in salutation. Arthur felt like a Prince in his castle and as well felt awkward. The greeting mode was all new to him.As they greeted him, he only nodded at them with a smile on his face."Arthur, come and join us. You came just on time for breakfast." It was Vanessa Ramon who called out to him and directed him to a chair. She couldn't deny that he was greatly missed by her. Vannesa had just found out about him after many years. Now, she couldn't get to spend time with him because he was busy with work."Welcome home Son." Carl said as he took a sip from his mug."Grandpa, Grandma."Arthur greeted his gr

The file that was handed over to him by his grandfather contained the twins' illegal activities. Since he was yet unknown as the new owner of the mall, his grandfather helped him get rid of them so he could still continue his job. Surely, there must be something else he could still find out going on in the place.With a smirk on his face, Arthur turned around to the direction of the exiting sisters but they were already out of sight. His thoughts wandered back on the young man that had earlier avoided them. Turning to face Nick. he commented, "Louis was also fired, was he not?"Nick nodded in approval. "They all got their sack letters sent to their emails and were handed the hard copy this morning."Nick stopped talking and stared at Arthur in a questioning gaze. "How did you know that Louis was also sacked? I didn't tell you about his sack."With a smile, Arthur replied to the man in front of him. "I saw him trying to avoid us. He was on his way out but was quick to see us so he drew

Arthur was still smiling at the ladies as they were led into the police vehicle. They were just so perplexed.What just happened?It sounded like a joke when Arthur called them thieves and said that they deserved to be locked up. Did he really have a hand in their arrest? But how come?They concluded that Arthur was a snitch who came to the mall to get them. Yeah, he should be a private detective.With that in mind, the girls decided that they would come back for Arthur after they were out of the problem on their hands.With a mischievous smile on his face, Arthur made his way into the mall where he kept overhearing the gossip of the earlier incident."What do you think they did that got them arrested?""I'm not sure about that. All I know is that they must have done something wrong. And I heard they were staff of this mall who got fired this morning.""Well, whatever it is that the sisters did, must be very serious to warrant an arrest after being sacked.""Ofcourse, I've heard about

"What? But we had already decided on it. There's no time for procrastination. We have to do this immediately. Tell me where you are, I'm coming over." Bryan flared up but Janet remained silent.Realizing that he just raised his voice at Janet, he started apologizing. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I didn't mean to do so, it's just that there's a lot at stake here if we keep procrastinating.""How dare you yell at me? And how's that my business if you have no time? It's your problem, not mine. You should be grateful that I offered to help you. If you get me angry, then I'll withdraw my help and you can do it yourself. All I know is that I'll take a walk when you start being stingy to me." Janet yelled back at him and Bryan had no choice but to remain silent."I'm sorry." Bryan apologized again and Janet chuckled."You know what, I just changed my mind. It'll be better if you hire someone for this job. Just call me when there's something I can do, which is mainly to shop."Janet rudely

"Jess, please wait up." Jesse continued to run and Arthur followed behind her. He was confused and worried that something he did must have offended her. She soon got to her car and was about to get into it but Arthur held her hand and prevented her from getting in. With her heart pounding in her chest, Jesse folded her arms and looked away while trying to catch her breath. Arthur drew closer and searched for her face but she refused to look at him."Are you okay Jess? Is anything the matter? I hope I haven't offended you in any way?"Jesse was silent.Gradually, Arthur lifted her chin and began to turn it to his face. Jesse tilted her face again, refusing to make eye contact with him. She looked so confused."Jesse, talk to me please. Why are you running away from me?"He lifted her right palm and placed it on his chest. "Can you feel my heartbeat? It beats only for you. I love you Jesse. I know that we've only known each other for a few weeks. However, I can't deny the feeling I hav

Rosaline was at Janet's residence first thing the next morning. As she knocked at the door, Janet and her mother thought it was a neighbor who had come to disturb their beauty sleep."Please go away. It's still early in the morning to knock on someone's door."Rosaline knocked harder the second time and subsequent times and Janet had no choice but to go and open it. After all, It was already past 7am and any working class or business person should be awake by that time. Unfortunately, the Hudsons were lazy people except for Irene who was busy with school work.Janet opened the door and was greeted by Rosaline's dirty look on her.With her mouth agape, Janet stared back at the woman in perplexity. What was she doing in her house that early? "Who is it, Janet?" Stella's voice came from inside but no one replied to her."Are you going to keep staring or let me in?" Rosaline snorted coldly and Janet quickly made way for her by stepping aside."Of course ma'am. Welcome to our home. What b

Janet swiftly ran to the door to make sure that Rosaline had truly left the place. Indeed, she was nowhere close. She heaved a sigh of relief and made her way back inside to get her phone."What just happened, Janet? Why is she acting like her son is a twelve year old boy?"Janet shook her head. "She's just overprotective of Bryan. Unfortunately for her, Bryan doesn't listen to her as he would do anything I ask him to do. Like she said earlier, he's so obsessed with me."Janet left her mother in the sitting room and went to her room to get her phone. With the phone in her hand, Janet dialed Bryan's number and he picked up immediately."Hi Janet, how are you doing? I hope you have forgiven me for yelling at you yesterday? It wasn't intentional and you know it. And I hope you had a…""Bryan." Janet yelled at him and he stopped talking.He was wondering why she was angry so early in the morning. Was something wrong with her? What had happened?"Janet, are you okay? You don't sound alrig

“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

“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
