The Rise of Arthur McCain Chapter 94
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

Arthur scoffed at him and left the place without saying anything else.Harry must be a fool. Did he think that Arthur would stupid enough to act on his words? To give Morris's job to him. Harry doesn't even deserve to work as a cleaner in his hotel.As Arthur left the place, Harry stared at his retreating figure before he awkwardly left to continue his work.While in the car on his way home, Arthur's mind went to Jesse and he felt bad about their current situation. He didn't mean to betray her or cause her to distrust him. More than Jesse, Arthur felt the sting greater. He never anticipated that anything of that sort would happen.Jesse really meant her words and was not backing down.However, Arthur was not giving up. He took out his phone and dialed Jesse's number and she took some time before picking."Hi, Jess.""Hi, Sir" Jesse replied to him in a little distant voice. She would have blocked Arthur's number but felt that it would be disrespectful.Arthur was her boss after all. I

Arthur went to work the next morning with the hope that he'll encounter the strange man again. Although he didn't go in search of the man at the place, he decided to go about his duty. He thought that if he was meant to speak with the man again, fate would surely bring them together. He would be taking Morris's advice to hear the message first before thinking of the next action.The mall was a big one and it would be hard to find someone unless it was a coincidence.Arthur was at his duty post when Nick walked up to him. It had been a few days since he spoke with the man."Hi, Arthur." He greeted him with a wide grin and Arthur knew what it meant. Nick wanted to gossip."Hi, Nick." Arthur replied and turned his face away.Sensing that there was a problem, Nick stopped grinning and seriously inquired. "What is it this time? Are you two having troubles already."Arthur sighed but didn't say anything."Come on, Arthur. You can always count on me, you should know that already."Nodding h

Arthur scoffed and turned his face away while twisting his mouth. "What exactly is he sorry about and why is he sick?" Arthur snorted coldly with his face still turned away."Your father misses you so much and really wants you back. We've been searching for you for a very long time and it's been as though you weren't in this city anymore. Please, come back home, Arthur."Arthur fell silent. Gradually, he turned his face back to meet Oscar's gaze."You still haven't answered my question. What is wrong with Gregg?""Your Dad has been depressed and was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Sometimes he harms himself when he's very angry."Arthur's eyes widened as he heard the words. He swallowed hard and began to stammer."H… How serious… is it?""It's serious. All that has occupied his mind for a long time is getting you back home. You see, your father truly loves you and never stopped thinking about you. There's no time during our talks that he won't mention how much he misses you

Oscar brought out a wad of cash and handed it over to Arthur who took the money and chuckled. "You're giving me some money."Oscar nodded his head and from the corner of his eyes, he saw the taxi driver giggle which made him begin to wonder if he had done something wrong."Ugh, is there anything wrong with giving you some money? Maybe you should use it for your cab fare." Oscar suggested but Arthur refused and tried to return the money but the man would not take it back."It has left my bag and can't be returned so it's now yours. See you when you come around."With that, Oscar left the money for him and went back to his car while Arthur and the taxi driver watched him drive off.Staring at the money on his hand, Arthur could not help but start laughing while the cab driver giggled. Oscar must have thought of him as a pauper. The man thought that Arthur was managing because he was no longer with his father.He took a long pause before throwing the money at the front seat. "He said it'

"Stop the car and wait for me here." Arthur instructed and the man obeyed without any questions.Swiftly, Arthur alighted from the car and continued to stalk the girls. He got to the building and found out that the girls were already inside the elevator. Arthur took note of the floor number they were heading to while he waited for the door of the lift to open.A while later, he pressed the button and it opened up for him. Arthur quickly got into it and started towards the floor where the girls' flat was located. As soon as he got to the place, there was no one on sight. However, he was able to catch a glimpse of a door that was being closed at that moment. He started towards the direction of the door that was just closed and stopped before it. Arthur wanted to knock on it but on a second thought, he decided against it.He was going to leave that for next time.While Arthur made his way back to the taxi, he thought in his mind that it was best for him to give the lady a little space.

“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. 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
