The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 107
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

Kayla hurried into the building. She had not finished her work design for the presentation she will be having in a few hours.All the chaos during the week had made her not conclude what she had to do. She raced up the stairs through the ground floor and went up to take the elevator to the fourth floor, where her office is. She scurried fast, and when she landed on the first floor, she didn't bother to look at anyone but the mission she had ahead of her.She hurriedly went into her assistant's office. Alex was busy too when she got in.“Good morning, ma'am.“. Alex greeted her happily and helped her carry her bag in.“Are you done with the design for the marketing agency on the 6th floor? You know they are only a few steps away from here. We need to finish it so they don't see our company as incompetent like the others.”."Yes, I have that done already.".“Oh! That's great. You know I have a presentation after now, and I need time to finish up a few things. No one must come here until

Alex rummaged through her phone and dialed Peter's phone. She panicked as he picked “Sir, Kayla slumped at work, and we are at the hospital." She panicked. “What hospital?” Peter asked.“Landmark Specialist Hospital," She said over the phone.“Okay, stay calm. I will be with you shortly." Peter said that and dropped the call. This was his fiancée; she was as important to him as he was to himself. He hurriedly snatched his keys from his desk and headed for his car in the parking lot.Peter's heart sprinted as he bolted through the large office corridors, his mind swirling with a flood of worry. Kayla, his lovely fiancée, was in the hospital, and he couldn't afford to waste a single moment. The tenacity in Alex's voice had ignited a wildfire of concern within him, driving him to move with an adrenaline speed he hadn't known he possessed before now.Outside, the air was crisp and a bit smokey, and it did barely little to calm his nerves as he fumbled with his car keys, his hands shakin

Alex stayed back in the room and watched the nurses do what they had to do. Fixing the drip line on her wrist while Kayla still lay unconscious on the bed. She watched till they finished, and then she brought out her phone and called their boss to report the situation.“We have finished, and there is no need for you to panic; your friend would be fine. She should be awake after a while,” the nurse informed her. Alex nodded even though she doesn’t understand what’s going on with Kayla yet, but whatever it is, she believes that Peter will handle it.Meanwhile, at the doctor’s office, Peter sat even more nervous than the first time he had come into the hospital. The doctor’s office is a large, neatly arranged room with nice white blinds, a center table and chair for the doctor, and three extra chairs for visitors. On the left side is an artificial hibiscus flower, standing in its glory. The office had a nice fragrance other than the drug-lingering room he had been in before. It was chill

The doctor nodded at him with a smile on his face after Peter asked the question with excitement in his tone. There is no way he is going back home without making sure Kayla gets all the attention and care she needs to be on her feet.“Okay, that’s some good news there. I mean, I wasn’t expecting all of that." Peter confessed to the doctor. He looked a bit confused. “I guess it’s time for us to get started with tests so we can get the blood donation done as soon as possible." Peter suggested. The doctor nodded and called the nurses to come take Peter to the lab so they could run a few tests on him. In no time, everything was done, and it turned out that he could actually donate so much blood to her.“You feel okay?” Dr. Jakes asked Peter, who had been looking at his hand for the longest time.“Yeah, everything is fine; I just feel strange. I mean, I haven’t really done any of this before. I feel like my soul left my body." Peter said, laughing and looking at the bandage on his hand.

Peter was still sitting on the couch, his jacket resting pretty on the arm of the couch. Moving and tossing her feet a couple of times on the bed, Kayla opened her eyes to meet Peter’s peering eyes looking deep into her soul."Peter,” she called out his name in shock.“Kayla You are awake. Thank goodness. I thought you were going to die and leave me. I was so afraid." He said to her as she held him by the side.“Come off it, man. I’m not dying anytime soon; it’s just a little relapse. That’s all. I will be back on my feet before you know it." She said she was feigning a smile at him amidst her pain.“Is that blood?’ She asked, pointing at the sack of red liquid going into her body."Yes, is it my blood? I guess you and I are going to stick together now without any interruption." Peter teased. He poked her nose a little bit.She chuckled. What do you even mean by that?” She asked in rhetoric.“I can’t wait to get the hell out of here." She said it with a sigh and tried to get up to a s

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

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

“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
