The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 102
The next morning, Peter woke up more enraptured and energised, ready to meet the press. This was the only way he could clear his name and redeem his business. He was just about to enter his car when his phone rang.He pulled it out of his breast pocket and looked at the screen. “Tiger, I hope you have something good, “he murmured as she took the back seat of the car. He ordered his driver to proceed with the journey.“Yes, Tiger, is anything positive?” He asked with anticipation to hear what the young man had to say.“Sure boss. We found something incriminating. Logos Inventions wants you down, says your company is standing in their way to growth and existence”. Tiger's voice came from the other end of the phone.“Logos?” Peter queried and chuckled afterwards. “A company owned by Patrick Wilmore. His son Fredrick is in charge now. You know the man's son is crazy. Since his father died, he had been in the top range for years, and your showing and bagging awards in a few months is a th

“Get off!” Tyler screamed at the top of his voice. Peter had a straight face. His mind was made up. He was not going to answer anyone, no matter what, and no matter how hard they pushed themselves on him, his mind was fixed on getting out of those premises. He squinted his eyes and wore his sunglasses quickly. The pressmen and women persisted, still staying on the part to pick out information from him. Peter shook his head, marveling at their self-will and enthusiasm for work. The news was the fastest way to spread bad information. He had known that even as a kid growing up, and that is the same reason he never really liked them till now. They just proved his point right. He doesn't blame them anyway; if they do not get information from trusted family members and friends who have sold themselves to their greed and gossip, none of this will happen. The crowd gradually began to clear out as he approached his car. The driver was already seated, waiting for him at the entrance to the par

By morning, Peter woke up to lots of messages hanging on his phone. Just like he said last night, he had kept the phone on silent because he knows what it means to keep his phone on when matters like this arise. He had to protect his peace and sanity. As long as he has everything in place, he is good to go. He has deliberately refused to take any of the calls or answer any of the messages.Those who had planned to destroy him will pay. with their blood. He vowed to himself. It was already 7 a.m. when he stretched and picked up the phone. The moment he went online, he saw that what Tyler had put up was tearing the internet down. People had different comments under the post, saying Logos was a criminal and a user. They showered insults on him and Kendy for being greedy. Peter laughed so hard as he read through all of the comments. He dialed Tyler's number to thank him for a job well done.“Tyler, I never knew you had such prowess with words. What an amazing storyline you did there." Pe

The moment Kayla left with the driver. Peter receives a call from Tyler that the building has been opened and the soldiers' guarding habits are all gone. Everywhere was cleared.“That's good”. Peter said to him“They are gone, but they left a note, sir,” Tyler said.“What kind of note?” Peter asked him calmly over the phone.“It's a brown envelope, and I don't know what's in it. It has your name on it." Tyler said it with affirmation in his tone.“I'm on my way," Peter said and grabbed his keys. He didn't have to dress formally; he was not going to have any official meetings. He drove as calmly as he could, not exceeding the limit like he would on a day when he was really upset.When he got to the office, the entire vicinity was clear of the military men who stood by the gate and its environs. Peter smiled at his little victory, and the butterfly in his heart began to bubble. He walked in and checked if everything was intact. The office's main gate was still locked the same way it wa

“Great then”. Peter said it with a shrug on his shoulders. "Well, I am not scared of castigations from the public. I did nothing to you, and if you have any problems with my brand."Well, I rule around here." Fredrick got up and grabbed Peter by the neck, but Peter pushed him, so he fell to the ground. He began a fake cry. “I thought you were here to ask for my forgiveness. But no, I was wrong the entire time. Oh! No… I can't take this; you are so mean to me." Fredrick faked the cry, and after some time, he got up sharply. “Harris, did you get that part?” He asked his assistant, looking at him squarely.“Yes, I did. Every part of it”.“Good for you. Harris, you can stop the video now. We got the part we wanted." Fredrick said that and dusted himself. He began to take the bandage off of his head, and then the one on his leg was last. Peter stood and watched. “If that's it, then it's fine. It's my word against yours; let's see what the world will choose." Peter answered and walked aw

Tyler was done typing his post when the knock came on the door.“I'm coming, '' he answered sharply, placing the laptop on the dining table. He had ordered a pack of chicken pizza about ten minutes ago. He checked the time on the wall. “That's so fast." He shrugged and wiggled his shoulders briefly as she strolled to the door. He whistled slowly and grabbed the knob. He pulled it, and when the door opened, he stood there in shock.“Whoa! What the hell did you do that for?” He screamed as he took another punch from his attacker. He fell to the ground. Victor looked down at him and got into the apartment. You know I have been watching you closely. I know your schemes and every step you and your foolish boss take, now see? He didn't even bother to protect you or something. And you are here acting like a die-hard fan." Victor snarled the words at him.“What do you want, and what the hell are you doing in my house?” Tyler asked with boldness in his tone. Victor kicked him hard in the ribs.

Peter and Kayla left the hospital, and as usual, Peter asked some of his smart men to keep an eye on Tyler so no one would hurt him. They left the room talking about his eyes and how funny they looked. They were by the hospital when Peter's phone rang. "Hello,” he answered the strange caller.“That wasn't the agreement, and you know it,” Frederick's voice blared from the end of the phone. Kayla watched Peter's face as he spoke into the phone. She was already irritated by the caller's entitlement. “You thought you were smart; well, I am smarter, and I just wanted to let you know that you are just a big joke. Enjoy the downfall of your company, and I hope you are persecuted fairly. Never meddle in my affairs again." Peter barked into the phone and ended the call. There was no way he would spend a minute talking to the bastard over the phone.“Who was that? Kayla asked as she got into the car with Peter. “Frederick”.“What does he want? Hasn't he done enough damage already? She aske

As the van rumbled away, the atmosphere inside was tense. Fredrick winced in pain as the medical team examined his wound, their expressions grim. Outside, the station loomed, a perfect reminder of the impending trial.Peter paced back and forth in the dimly lit hospital room, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Relief flooded through him like a warm current as he replayed the scene of Frederick being led away in handcuffs by the FBI agents. Finally, justice was served, and the nightmare that had plagued his life for so long was coming to an end.Tyler, lying in the hospital bed, watched Peter with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "Hey, Pete, are you okay?" he asked, his voice weak but filled with genuine worry.Peter turned to face him, a smile spreading across his face. "Yeah, Ty, I'm more than okay. I'm ecstatic! Frederick's been caught. He won't be able to hurt anyone else ever again."Tyler let out a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders relaxing against the pillows. "T

What are you doing here at this time? It’s the weekend, and you should be home." She said this to him as she walked into the room.“Well, I know it’s the weekend, but I have got so much work today before next week.

Victor said this on his couch in his living room, wiping off the blood from his nose. The hospital seems to know him for always getting into fights, so he was not going to waste his time answering any questions or even driving down. The blood from his nose has increased incredibly, so he picked up his phone and called his personal doctor to come over. In less than thirty minutes, the doctor had pulled up outside the house.“You sounded really urgent over the phone." Dr. Kylian said as he hurried into the house.“I'm bleeding, doctor. I want to call if it isn't urgent." Victor answered. “I see,” the doctor replied, placing his first-aid box on the table.“You got into a fight again. Typical of you”. He teased and laughed.“The bastard always has a way of showing up here to fight me, and I am not going to let him beat me up all the time.”.‘Don't you think it's time you let him have his peace? You have done more harm than good around that man." Dr. Kylian said.‘Stay out of my family

“Talk to me, Victor." She pressured him to speak, and then he finally spoke by asking her the question that had been bothering his heart for almost two hours.“Do you love Victor?” “What? How dare you ask me if I love that goat? Peter, I am wearing your engagement ring, and I am carrying your child. How. Can you degrade me to that lebel? Is that how you see me? Is this what you think of me? Kayla was broken by his question. She looked at him and let tears well up in her eyes.“I saw the pictures of the two of you standing at a close range like lovers,” Peter lied.“A picture? Show it to me and tell me about the idiot who took the picture. This is a setup, and you want to believe it after all we have been through together?”. She asked in disappointment.“So are you going to tell me what happened today after the ice cream shop?”.“Ice cream shop? Wait a minute. Are you stalking me?”“Someone saw you, Kayla, so this is what you do behind my back?”. Really.Okay, Peter, now you are going

Peter sat in his office thinking about what he would do, and just then his alarm reminder for the meeting ahead came beeping. He turned his eyes to the phone and saw the notification. He grabbed his phone and got up. Just as he was about to leave the office for the conference room, Tyler came in to carry the laptop. Peter was already disheartened by the pictures and interpretations. He didn’t say much. He didn’t know what to do, but he was sure he would do something to protect his woman from Victor..He went to the meeting, and when everything was finalized, he got up from the chair, shook the men, and went back to his office."Boss, is everything alright?” Tyler asked as he had noticed his boss’s change of demeanor before the meeting commenced.“Sir, you look bothered. Is there a problem? Is everything fine at home, boss?” Tyler asked as she raced behind his boss, who had increased his walking pace. Tyler could sense that Peter was angry, and so he tried his best to sort out whateve

Victor walked away in shame while Kayla and Nurse Betty drove off. The Camry waited for a while after Victor’s car moved before driving off. “Hello Rey. We got your man trying to bully a lady but I think someone fought him off already”. Cora spoke the moment Reynolds came on the phone.“Oh! Great. You got some pictures?”“Sure. What I am doing as a detective if not providing pictorial evidence?“Great job Cora, you can drop the photos on my desk. I shall check them as soon I get to the office.“Alright boss’. Cora answered and drove off with her teammate.In about two hours Reynolds reported straight to Peter’s office. The heavy knock on the door made Peter raise his eyes from the computer he had been focused on for the past three hours.“Detective Rey, it’s so good to see you again, it’s been like a week already is it?’ Peter spoke with happiness in his tone.“Mr. Coleman is good to see you again” Detective Reynolds spoke. The two men shook hands and then the Detective sat down.“Wh

And since Peter isn’t in total support of it, he tells nurse Betty to go live with her to monitor her resting and eating habits so it doesn’t affect the baby as the doctor had said.

After all, she could still have her baby and live a peaceful life without Peter in it, but that’s not what she wants for her baby; she just wants a father and a friend whom he or she could play with.She enjoyed her childhood with her parents, especially her father, Ethan, who gave her almost everything she ever wanted in life. Kayla knows that if her father had more to offer her, he would go out of his way to get it. She lay on the bed and checked her time. Since her boss had decided to give her a day off work, she wasn’t going to misuse the opportunity. Today was also her antenatal day, and the ma

“I will be leaving in a few days,” Reynolds said to Pablo, who was busy picking pebbles and throwing them into the water.“In a few days? That’s quick?” Pablo responded sharply. He had only been in Reynolds Company for a few days, and he was beginning to blend in with his vibes so much.“And when do you plan to return?” Pablo asked like a woman whose husband was going on a war trip.“I do not know. But I am sure I will visit this part of town sometime soon.” There was a little silence between them for a while before Reynolds spoke again. “I wonder why he brought the factory this far; his father knows better. What could he possibly do after inheriting this space from his father?" They both chuckled at Reynolds' thought.“I hope you find what you seek, detective.”“You are the only one who knows about my mission here, and I know that we have had a good deal. Keep to your side of the bargain, and I shall keep to every word I said to you the previous night and now. He checked the smartwa

Reynolds got to his shabby apartment and spent the night. Now that Pablo had seen his real face, it was going to be a little bit difficult to be free around him with that mask on, but he had to do it after all. He took off the mask and lay on his bed while his heart raced through his home, wondering if his items were safe in the house.”I guess I have to call Richards to go help me check what’s going on with the house, or if someone has boggled it. He has his most valuable things there. He took a deep breath, rummaged his phone on the side of the bed, and called Richard's number. Richard answered the call with a cracked voice.“You must have been sleeping. I am so sorry for waking you up.”“No, it's fine,” the voice said at the end of the call.“Well, I want you to help check on my home to see if everything is still intact. I bet you still have my spare keys with you." He asked“Yes sir. I still do." Richard answered as best he could. After he finished with the call, he put the phone

After a quick shower, Reynolds rushed off to the playground, where the others had been waiting for him to come and play the game. The moment he showed up, the crowd began to cheer for the victory of the previous day."Oh, my good friend is here, and today I shall teach him the ways of the old when it comes to chess.”“Be mindful of what you wish for, my dear friend," Reynolds spoke, his fake white beards dangling from side to side. They played the game for very long hours as no one of them was willing to quit for the other, and then at the last minute, Reynolds won again.This time, Pablo had put his one hundred dollars into a bet. Reynolds laughed hard and patted him on the shoulder. Pablo shook his hand off with all his strength and then fell back into heavy laughter."Man, you are a monster. Now I can believe that you are a lord when it comes to the game of chess. I will hand over the crown to you for as long as you are here." He told Reynolds, who was busy taking his drink. Reynol
