The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 58
Billy woke up to a heavy bang on the door. "Who is that?" His wife asked in a hushed voice. I don't know who they are," Billy answered. Mia was not at home. She had gone to a party the previous night, as is typical of her. She doesn't come back early, and on other nights she would sleep out for three days or more until whenever she felt like visiting her parents. Billy knows that the bang didn't sound like a hit that would come from Mia's feeble hands. The sun peeked into the room through the shabby curtains hanging over the window. The bang came again, but this time it was heavier than it had first sounded. He jumped up and covered himself with his nightwear.I rushed to the door and opened it. He stood inside and peered out a little while till he was sure it was safe before he got out."Oh! Good morning, ladies and gentlemen," he greeted with a wild grin, recalling the faces."Mr. Billy, I hope you're good." One of the officials asked, flashing him a stern look."C'mon guys, do

The car stopped right in front of the building. He didn't bother to honk since he had what he wanted to do in mind. His shiny shoes clicked against the earth as he walked into the yard. He stopped and wondered at the luxury with which Peter had turned the whole place into paradise. "The boy has got some taste, '' Peter said to his dad as they both observed the yard. Even though the compound looked deserted, there were a couple of things that made it look fashionable. Like the water fountain newly built in front of the house. Victor's head shook a bit as he let the cold water flow into his hands."Money is speaking here; a lot of it, I must tell you.". "I bet he got it at a fair price from the old man just to punish him for all the wrongs that he did," Kennedy concluded. He was very close to the truth."I guess that's the way to the backyard," Victor spoke as he led his father to the little house Peter gave Billy and his family to live in.Victor banged on the door like he'd been ow

Kayla was excited that she would be going to this dinner with Peter. He had been of help so much since she met him, and compared to his brother, she had grown to cherish herself more while enjoying the peace that comes with giving a good man a chance. She had freaked out the day he told her about the company dinner and the caliber of people that would be present. Plus, he would be officially recovering his award for the best CEO of the season. Even though he had just emerged barely a year ago, his records have beat others massively, making him climb to the top in just his first six months in office.She hurriedly took her bath and sat behind the mirror. She was already fully dressed. Just a little makeup to enhance her beauty was all she needed to do. She had just picked up the brush when she heard a car honk three times. She knew it was Peter from the pattern in which he did it. She smiled to herself and watched him pull in by the window. She got back to her seat and commenced with

Peter held his broken mouth and ran out of the hall.He got into his car and drove off quickly. Getting into a fight with Peter was just not something anyone could do without getting deeply wounded. "That boy is a monster from the slums," he said to him as he drove off to the nearest hospital. As he reached the counter, the nurse on duty laughed at him before attending to him. "Please, I would love to lie on the hospital bed for a few days," he told the nurse. She flashed him a quizzical look and went her way to call the doctor."Thank God you're here, doctor." I would love to see her in a few days. To rest my head. I have enemies chasing me everywhere," he lied.The doctor nodded and asked the nurse to prepare the room for him. He was given medications and some painkillers to reduce the pain in his lip, which now affects his head. He managed to text the hospital address to his father before falling asleep. In about two hours, Kennedy appeared at the hospital. He walked straight in

The next morning, after Victor was discharged, he drove off to his home. The sitting room was scattered and dusty. He had fired the last housekeeper he had because she told him she was sick, and since then, the agency has refused to find him another housekeeper. He kicked an empty Coca-Cola can on the floor as he opened the front door.His body was a mess from last night's fight, and through his headache, he still could not spend one more solemn night on the petite bed.He pushed the can aside and got upstairs for a quick shower. Peter knows he was badly wounded in last night's fight and shouldn't expect him to resume work the next day with a bloated lip. He got out of the shower and rummaged through his wardrobe for a black hoodie and black sweatpants. He checked for him in the last compartment on the cabinet. "Sweet," he said, shooting the gun quickly. He wrapped it in the leather bag and headed out. He clicked the car open and got in. He doesn't have to fear the police because th

Two hours later, Peter returned home, and just as he was about to pull over in the garage, his eyes caught a strange object on the ground. At first, he thought it was a reptile, but then, on closer inspection, he noticed a rod sitting beside one of his cars. He picked it up and smiled. He knows who would have made this attempt. No other person but Peter. "I bet he couldn't hit the cars; he learned the hard way." Peter began to laugh. By the time I am done with him, he will have no legs to walk into my garage again. He spoke to himself and put the rod aside.It was a bit early in the evening, and work has been hectic for him.He got inside to enjoy the rest of the evening alone. He was in the sitting room when he heard the bang on the door. He checked his time a few minutes past 8 p.m. He adjusted his pants and headed straight for the door. He placed one eye on the peephole and saw Kayla standing at the door, vaguely lit by the light."Kayla," he said, clicking the door open. "What a

The day to launch the solar panel was near. Peter and his team have worked tirelessly to make it a reality for the entire city. Peter went into his office with Tyler by his side. There won't be any more problems since the engineers now have all they need to make it work. “The launch is in a few days,” Tyler said.“I would be a fool to forget the first mega-deal my company would be launching,” Peter said as he worked into the office. “Boss, I can't wait to see the anguish on your cousin's face." Tyler teases, laughing coldly.“That's true. I haven't seen him in a couple of days.”.“He hadn't been to work either," Tyler added“Well, that's his loss and not mine. Get the files ready. Everything should be set before the launch. I have to prepare the speech for that great event myself." Peter said. As he pulled the seat closer to him. A knock goes on the door. The two men lifted their eyes to see who it was. "Oh, Mr. Jim," Peter said with a smile and got up to shake the man. Mr. Jim was

Victor has seen and gotten all the information he needs. He sighed when he realized he had to travel to a different city for this mission. The young man he saw the other day looked very gullible and soft. It would be much easier to convince him than an old man. He has never had so much in the past few weeks, up until he got an email inviting him to the Pedro Mega Tower. Victor twirled and whistled with his towel wrapped around his waist. His flight was booked at 8 a.m., and at 7 a.m. he was dressing up to leave. His house was a mess too, and now that he would be six tiles richer, he had to hire a maid as soon as possible. He didn't believe that Mr. Jim was so easy to reach until last night. “Whoa! I'm going to be a billionaire soon. I'm going to be a billionaire.” He sang and did a horrific version of Michael Jackson's moonwalk dance in his room. While whistling “beat it, just beat it” and snapping his fingers. He soon got fully dressed, but he thought he wasn't complete with his

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.

“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
