The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 18
The bang on Kayla’s door got her lifting her eyes from the system sitting before her on the desk. Kayla’s office held an ambience of a harmonious blend of professionalism and warmth. Streamlined chairs, designed for both comfort and functionality, dot the workspace, creating a seamless balance. On the wall, diverse picture frames were proudly displayed, capturing moments of achievement and shared experiences with stakeholders.On her left is a medium-sized counter built into the wall. It contained a lot of files and other official documents valid for her position.Whoever it was didn’t even wait for her to approve their intrusion.“Mr. Taylor Greene,” she called in shock. She stood in utmost bewilderment. Mr. Taylor never shows up at the store unless there is an emergency.She quickly got up from her seat with a smile on her face, but the smile quickly disappeared when she sensed Mr. Taylor wasn’t here to play.“Is there a problem, sir?” She asked, wiping her hand against her dress.“

Twenty-four hours was ample time to plan his movements, and he was not surprised when nothing went right. His arrival time was suitable: 11 a.m., Wednesday, June 10. Peter had hoped to park illegally in the wide parking space. He was ready to make trouble, but after a second thought, he changed his mind, as it would raise his social status, especially now that his bucket list of enemies piled up with each passing day. Greene Group is part of the companies he has huge shares in. From the records, his father had bought a large share of stock that was ten times the initial buying price.He is to have a meeting with their CEO in a few days, but since Mr. Taylor has decided to bite more than he can chew, it was best to pay him a cold visit.Peter pulled in, screeching his car's wheels hard against the tarred floor. A few other cars were parked. He was lucky to find a space besides one white SUV. He peered outside through his tinted glass. His Bentley stood out amongst all the other cars

The next morning, a man dressed in a well-tailored suit pulled in front of the Green Mall. He stepped out of his luxurious car and adjusted his suit collar briefly. With his suitcase in his hand, he worked directly into the building. Mr. Taylor had seen him through the transparent door even before he walked into the building.He knows his instinct never lies to him. Peter had threatened to get his lawyers involved in the matter before leaving yesterday, but he didn't think it would actually manifest until this strange, fine man walked into his mall with a briefcase."How—how may we help you, sir?" he stuttered. The order sales personnel had their eyes fixed on the man."You could be of help. In diverse ways," the man grinned at Taylor. —I'm Attorney George Clayson; I was sent here by Mr. Peter Coleman, and I bet you know him.".When the man heard him, he nodded. His instinct couldn't have failed him this time."Can we please talk privately... in my office?" he begged as he scanned the

"What is this nonsense I see all over social media about you stealing from a store?". Kennedy barked at his son, who was still lying lazily on the bed.Victor rolled up on his back, squinting his eyes to adjust to the bright light filtering into the room from the window."I'm talking to you, Victor Coleman. Don't lay there acting like you don't know what I am talking about. You know exactly what the hell I am talking about.".Victor sniffed, adjusting himself to his position. He wipes the crust off his eyes."What is it, dad? You are interrupting my moment."."Get up, man; we are in a deep mess, and you caused it." He said it angrily, shoving the phone into his chest. Victor took the phone. His eyes widened when he saw his face in front of the screen. He wiped his eyes."What's this?""I should be asking you dumb heads; you are just incompetent, and I think it's getting worse by the day. We have bigger plans to focus on, but no, you would rather choose to make a woman jealous by going

The entire bar was thick with darkness. Only the occasional blink of the center lights up the faces of the guests in the club.Victor sat in the corner of the hall, a cigarette burning on his lip. He took in a long drag and puffed a huge cloud of smoke from his mouth and nostrils.He watched the strippers dance half-naked on the poles with their heels. He trapped his thighs together, squeezing his muscles tight.The lady danced a bit closer to him, sticking out her tongue and tracing a finger down to the large flesh exposed on her chest. Victor's heart leaped a bit. He dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out bundles of money. He gave some of it to the lady and smacked her slightly on the buttocks."Would you like to go in with me to my room?" He asked, licking his soft lip in a sexy way. The lady shook her butt in his face and grabbed him by the arm.He followed her lead till they got into an empty corridor, and when he was sure they were out of reach from the crowd, he press

Victor was the very first person to pull in at the Greene Ville Mall. The mall hasn't opened yet. He checked his time; it was seven o'clock in the morning. He checked the time on his car dashboard to confirm.Sitting in his car, enjoying his music, while he waits for the first person to resume work.His intention is to see Mr. Taylor in person, so he will deliver the stolen piece of jewelry to him in person.He wasn't going to take the risk of handing it to anyone this time. He whistled along with the song that came on the radio. Just then, he spotted a car pulling in slowly from the entrance."That had better be Mr. Taylor; I do have that much time to waste here because of this ancient jewelry." He tossed the pack to the side. He sniffed, tuning the A/C to a conducive degree.He has always had the energy for a cold since he was a little boy, and this morning he isn't properly covered apart from the three-piece suit he is putting on.Taking chances at the office today was something he

The meeting lasted for about an hour. Victor could not defend the missing funds in some of the accounts.He kept silent, his hand trapped across his mouth. His father wasn't present in the meeting, and everything was being said. He has to act fast before the truth is discovered.Before Coleman's passing, Victor and his father had been involved in a major loot that affected the company badly. He has tried to cover the holes so well, but the auditors hired are different from the ones his father has always used.They always had a deal to strike after the loot holes had been locked, and the remaining would be shared among themselves.By the time the meeting ended, Peter had asked Victor to stay back."Sit please"."There are going to be a few changes around here, and if you want to continue working here, you have to obey my rules."."What changes are you talking about?""Calm down". Peter said.He looked at Victor closely. The large hall held a tense smell of contempt between the two men.

The knock on the door got Peter dancing down the stairs; he had placed an order for a McDonald's for the evening. Since his chef went on a break, he finds it a bit difficult to do things by himself around the house."That's got to be my food," he said in his mind as he juggled down the stairs.When he opened the door, the smile that had spread on his face disappeared almost immediately."What the f**k are you doing here?" He asked as he glared down at Mia. She shrugged her shoulders and pushed her way in, rubbing her two large Titi's against his chest.He ran his hand through his hair. If only he had known this daughter of Jezebel was the one banging the chime, he wouldn't have bothered."You have a really lovely place, Peter, my baby boy." She said she was smiling."How on earth did you find my house? How did you get my address, Mai?" He questioned boldly."Take a chill pill. Peter, how many questions do I have to answer at a time? I just got here. Is that how you want to treat your

Reynolds has his eyes on the records. He has checked all the files he printed out, but there was simply no name that matched Red's name. He wondered while sitting in his office alone. He has done all he could to make sure he wasn’t making any silly mistakes with the names.He paused, looked at the files for a while, and smiled. He knows that he will find what he is looking for. Just as he was about to scroll again, the door to the office creaked open. Cora was shocked to see him sitting behind his desk with his eyes wide open and focused on the door.“Hey Detective Reynolds! 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. Remember, the case with the Colemans is a very crucial one, and that is why I put you in my eyes to see the places I can’t see. “I see!” Cora exclaimed as she took her seat on the desk.“What’s your fi

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

CHAPTER 147
Kayla has been living her sweet life in her apartment by herself. 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. Kayla knows that if she agrees to Peter's options, she will be a wife in less than twenty-four hours, and that’s exactly what she doesn’t want. 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

CHAPTER 144
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
