The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 48
"These fools couldn't do the job. Small job. I think I will have to end this madness myself. Kennedy pulled out a gun from his safe box and came out to the living room."Dad, where are you going with a gun in your hand? '' Victor asked. Panic filled his eyes. He had just driven in from his home. His friend had called to tell him about the failed attempt at the site. He knew no one else would try to disrupt a big project like that except for his father."You look furious; what's going on?". He asked, standing in his father's way."The rif-rafs didn't get the job done right; I want to end this madness." He raised the gun in the air."Whoa! Whoa! What! Come on, Dad, you can't go over to Peter's house with that gun in your hand. He could call the police, and you know what that means. I don't want to go back to that death trap of prison. Please". "No one would know I did it," Kennedy replied defensively. "Peter isn't stupid; the poor boy has planted cameras everywhere, and it will not be
The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 49
Kayla's parents lived on a hilly residential street shaded by mature trees and lined with older homes. Morning glory and clematis vines were clinging to the mailboxes, and an empty white lattice planter on the front porches was just ready to be filled with vibrant flowers.The botch house sat at the top of a sheep slope overlayed with ivy and rhododendrons. It was a sophisticated two-story cream stucco transcended by a roof of curving pale green Spanish tiles, with the shutters and trim painted the same light green. Peter pulled the white Rolls Royce under the Porte Cochere off the side, then came around the front to open the door for Kayla.For a moment, his eyes lingered on her long, straight legs. He hadn't had the time to comment on her soft, taffy-colored skirt and grey sweater combo, even though she'd rolled the skirt twice at the waistband so that a good three inches of thigh showed through her pale skin-toned hose. She thought he hadn't noticed and figured her beautiful thigh

"Bless my wife for being a sweet mother and wife; I can't thank her enough," Ethan said."Oh! Thank you, ma'am." Peter said, bowing slowly."C'mon, I did all I could as a mother, and Kayla had her part to play. You two look good together, and I hope that this works out perfectly for you two. You have my blessings."."Well, I can't disagree with my wife; you two have our blessings," Ethan said and got up from the table. His plate was empty, and his chicken was devoured. He had not had a family meal in a long, long time. He got up to sit on the porch outside. Beside it was a swing seat. Peter thanked Mrs. Ethan for the meal and went out to sit with Ethan, who was busy with his crochet. The old man had a sweet, aging smell, like his father. He wished his dad was still alive to show him a few things."You have a beautiful home," Peter said."It's a good property; I bought it with my gratuity paycheck two decades ago." Peter's eyes widened. "Don't give me that look. I'm sixty-three. Reti

Kayla's eyes shot open at 5:30 a.m., as usual. She didn't have to look at the clock to know if it was past five. She'd always have the urge to wake up once it's 5 a.m., and it has always been accurate. She took the comforter off her body and slid out of bed to begin her daily routine beside her bed. Her pillows were perfectly aligned and carefully laid on the bed, the shelves were pulled tight, and the cover she rolled off earlier was now folded just right in place. She smiled and nodded to herself when she saw the finished outcome. Peter was having his bath, so she had to wait for him a little. After he was done, she smacked his buttocks and walked over to the bathroom for the next chapter of my morning routine. Even though it was Peter's house, her morning yoga was a ritual she never missed for anything in the world. She hurriedly took her bath. She grabbed the outfit Peter had gotten for her the previous day on their way back and got dressed in it. Her hair and makeup are always

Kayla spent the next couple of hours working on room designs for the new hotel, which was just commissioned a few days ago. Her team will be having a presentation the following week, and she has to prepare ahead of time. The new owners are wealthy; they are a very beautiful couple. Projects like these always help her because she can leverage her creativity so much without restrictions. After she was done with the basics and the outline, she glanced at her clock; it was noon sharp; she had a meeting with Mr. Dave, and she didn't want to be late. Clients like Mr. Dave seem not to have a problem until they miss a target. What Kayla wants right now is peace and making more money for herself and GT Graphics. That's all that matters.Kayla grabbed her bag and hurriedly made her way out of the building. Her ride arrived in about five minutes. She took the back seat and scrolled through her computer till she got to the venue of the meeting. After making a credit transfer for the ride, she wa

Kayla couldn't face the fact that she had just been harassed by some old man at the restaurant. She sat in her chair, unable to work or think straight. The best thought that came to her head was to go home and rest. She had had enough for the day.She picked up the telephone and called Alex's office in no time. Alex appeared before her, holding a blue pen and some papers. "You called, ma'am," Alex said."Yes, I did. I'm about to leave, and so I want you to tell the boss I left because I'm having a bad cramp.".Alex squeezed her nose in disbelief. "But you were fine this morning."."Yes, but things change, and you tell him just as I have told you. No more questions, Alex. Kayla told her. She soon began to pack her things, and then she remembered that she hadn't come with her car. "I have spent so much money today on rides that I can't afford to pay for another round trip home." She sighed and picked up her phone to call Peter. He answered almost immediately. "Please come pick me up

"Who was that, Dave? The feminine voice came through the back door."Dave, are you tough there?" She asked again. A middle-aged lady came out of the mansion. She took quick, dashing steps towards the pool, where Dave was still trying to catch his breath."I saw a man walk out the gate; who was he?" Blair asked. Blair is Mr. Dave's wife. She had seen the man come into the compound, but before she got down the stairs, he was gone. She is sure she saw someone talking to her husband."It's nobody". Mr. Dave lied, pushing back his blundering hair."What do you mean, nobody? You are crouching, and I saw a man walk out of here, and you sit there and tell me it's nothing."Let it slide." Blair I just told you it's no one. Let it slide.". "Well, I'm not going to let it slide; take a look at your neck; his fingers are imprinted in it, and you sit back and say it's nothing. I shall call the police at once." She said it without hesitation. Dave got up and snatched the phone from her hand. "The

Following the meeting from the previous day, Peter was exhausted, yet he had to be at a small gathering of young CEOs this morning. The CEO's organization elections will take place soon, and all nominees have been asked to go for a briefing at the state headquarters. If it weren't mandatory, I would have sent my assistant. The next morning, Peter had planned a little trip to the neighboring city. He has made everything smooth at the site, and since that day, there have been no complaints from the site. Dressed in a fine brown suit. He stood in front of the mirror in his master bedroom and wondered to himself. Peter bends over to the lowest drawer and picks out a collection of his favorite watches. He picked up a black leather-belted Rolex Daytona and strapped it over his wrist. Then he picked up his black wallet and filled it in with some of his credit cards. A few bundles of mint-dollar notes go into the back pocket of the wallet. He checked himself out before picking up the bag.

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

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

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
