The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 89
After a long pause, Jesse threw a glance at Arthur before she finally made it back to her seat and dropped her bag on the table. With her face up, she spoke to Arthur in a voice devoid of emotions."So I'm listening. Talk to me now and make sure you reveal everything that I need to know. You should also make sure that no detail is spared."Arthur sighed and nodded his head. He never wanted things to turn out that way. He intended to tell her everything but at a perfect time. Arthur didn't want Jesse to find out about him in that manner but as it was, he no longer had a choice."I…I'm sorry about everything." Arthur started with an apology and Jesse just scoffed."What are you sorry about? You haven't even said anything to me and you're already apologizing. Look Arthur, if you have nothing to say to me, it's best that I start leaving."Jesse attempted to stand but Arthur stopped her. "I'll speak now, you just have to be a little patient with me. But Jess, you have to order something wh

"You must be dreaming. What children are you talking about?" Jesse sneered at him and he swallowed hard."I thought that…""Just continue with what you're saying." Jesse was not laughing at him and he didn't need to be told."Just like me, my mother was thrown out of the house by her father. Although her own case was because she got pregnant with me out of wedlock. At that time, my father was still struggling. It was both of them who worked so hard to build the wealth that those people are now enjoying."Arthur's face ruffled into a frown as he thought of Bryan and his mother. He was so oblivious of the things happening in his father's house. Because his father sent him to prison, he decided to have nothing to do with him again.Jesse's expression was still unfazed."It was the same day that my grandpa told me everything that happened. They asked for my forgiveness and made me their heir. I started acting as a mall guard to know who my real staff are. I needed to know those who are tr

Jesse said those words to Arthur's astonishment. He didn't tell her about the cab driver and she had figured it out herself. Of course she had seen the man with him a few times and had been able to deduce something."But how…." Jesse didn't wait for him to ask the question before leaving."Goodbye Arthur."Arthur's eyes followed the retreating lady in expectation. A lot of things were running through his mind. He thought she would suddenly turn around and come back to him. She would just claim to be bluffing and they'd settle their differences and be a couple again.As his fantasy didn't actualize, Arthur sighed and turned his face back to the table. He tilted his head and reminisced on his relationship with Jesse. It had been going well even though they had just started a relationship not long ago. It'll surely take a lot of work for him to get Jesse back.What would happen now that Jesse had found out? He would no longer be comfortable at the mall.After a moment of silence, Arthur

Janet's mouth fell apart and she stared continuously at Bryan. What was he talking about?"Ugh, I don't understand. What do you mean by what you just said? Why would I be thrown out in a shameful manner and who was going to embarrass me?"Bryan fell silent. Turning around, he began to make his way back to where Janet stood.Standing face to face with the lady, Bryan held her by the chin and lifted her face. "A lot of things have happened these past few days that you are unaware of. It was the reason I haven't spoken to you. I didn't know how to explain things to you, that's why I haven't called."With her face ruffled into a frown, Janet shoved Bryan's hand aside and stared intently at him. "What are you talking about? Will you just go straight to the point." Janet was already losing her patience and was no longer in the mood. Clearly, Bryan brought her to the place just to waste her time. At first, she thought that he was depressed and tried to end his life but that was not true. "

Bryan could not move an inch when Janet left him at the place. He stood at a spot for a while before going to sit down.His Mom was right about Janet and he still could not get himself to hate her. All she cared about was the money. He was the absolute love of her life when there was money. When it seemed like there was no hope, she decided to run off. Why was she so money conscious?"I'll prove to her that she won't find anyone better than me." Bryan muttered to himself before rising to his feet and began to make his way out of the place.A while later, Bryan got home and found his mother busy with a drink. She had gotten home before him."Mom, you're home. How did it go?" Bryan greeted his Mom with the question but the woman didn't say a word. He left her and started towards the kitchen only to learn that there was no food."Why did you not cook anything, Mom?" Bryan scolded his mother from the kitchen with a raised voice. However, the woman did not breathe a word.As he made his wa

Arthur got to work and went back to his duties as usual. While at work, he kept his eyes peeled to see if he'd catch a glimpse of Jesse. He would have gone to her office if he wanted to but felt it wouldn't be a good idea. She wanted to keep her distance and Arthur had to respect her decision. All he had to do was to carefully get closer to her. He had to win her trust again. It was just like when he was beginning to woo her.As he tried to take his mind off everything, Jesse began to approach him. At first, Arthur's heart began to pound faster. However, he managed to let out a deep sigh and calmed his nerves a little. As he stared at the figure drawing closer to him, he kept wondering what was going on in her mind.In a few seconds, Jesse stood before him with an expression that he could not read."Hi." Jesse greeted while scrutinizing him. She had already seen him beyond the security uniform he was putting on."Hi, Jess. How are you doing?" Arthur had a glint in his eyes as he repl

"Arthur please, it's really urgent that I speak to you." The man pleaded but Arthur shoved his hand away."Don't you dare lay those hands on me again. Go back to those people who sent you and tell them that they have failed. They will never be able to get me."The man looked somewhat confused as he cast Arthur a questioning gaze. He was yet to say anything and Arthur had reached a conclusion. "What are you talking about? I've only been sent by…""I don't what to hear anything. Go back and tell Bryan and his mother that I will never have anything to do with them. Whatever it is they're planning will always come to naught.""I was sent by your father, Gregg McCain." The man blurted out and Arthur's mouth fell apart.He gave the man an intense stare and finally heaved a deep sigh before retorting coldly. "I don't have a father and that name doesn't sound familiar."With that, Arthur began to walk away. However, the man continued to follow him but didn't say any more words. He soon reache

Arthur listened in silence.Morris observed his expression before he continued. "I hope I'm not prying? It's just that I want to know what transpired between you and your family? All these while, I really thought that you didn't have a family?"Arthur sighed and replied to him. "I didn't consider them as my family, that was why I never spoke about them. If they were really my family, I wouldn't have worked in a hotel. They would not have sent me to prison."Morris gave him a confused look. As he watched Arthur speak with so much contempt for his family, he could only imagine how much his friend was hurting. Indeed, Arthur had been hurt very badly. It was even more painful that his family cast him out after plotting against him."Ugh, Sir."Arthur gave Morris a dirty look and he corrected himself."Sorry. Arthur, I'm really sorry that you went through so much pain in the hands of your family. Now I understand why you never spoke about them. However, I believe that your father is sorry

“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

They were her ex boyfriend and ex friend, Anderson and Michael. The duo came to shop at the mall when they saw the media hovering around some people. The couple decided to find out what was going on. 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. At the moment, she just wanted her ex friend and ex boyfriend to feel envious of her.When Arthur was no longer interested in replying to their numerous questions, he turned around and began to walk into the mall together with Jesse and Jenny. As they made their way into the mall, the journalists wanted to follow after them but were stopped by the bodyguards and the other security guards.Anderson and Michael could not get themselves to go into the mall as they stood back outside

“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
