The Rise of a Billionaire

CHAPTER 6

As the days and months flew by, Mr Coleman, Peter's father, eventually passed away during a cold night, leaving his entire wealth, empire, and business in Peter's hands.

The burial took place during a wet morning, when many rich men who were close to Mr Coleman and now knew who Peter was, sympathized with the young man.

Kennedy and Victor also attended the burial, but their faces didn't show any sign of sadness or sympathy towards Peter, who just met his father and didn't get to enjoy his father's love to the fullest. 

They also got condolences from guests but left once the burial was over.

Now that his father was gone, Peter was the CEO of Coleman's empire, running the company just like the way his father had taught him.

Anytime Peter found himself alone, thinking of his father, he felt the old man knew his time was near, that's why he had to look for him quickly and train him.

"I promise to never disappoint you, father," Peter promised.

After a meeting with foreign delegates of the company, Peter gets a call from someone, with the name Unknown, written on his screen.

Seeing it, Peter gave out a curve to the side, excusing himself from the meeting room, and for a different room.

"Talk to me," He said, after picking up the call.

At the other end of the line was a huge man in a black suit, one of Peter's bodyguards, sitting in his car, right outside Mia's home.

He stared at the home as he gave Peter reports on what he was seeing.

"They are selling off some of their properties in secret. I can see the old man of the house secretly letting in another customer," The guard reports to Peter. 

Hearing this, Peter lets out a scoff of mockery, giving his guard the go-ahead to get more details about Mia and her family.

"Gather as many as possible."

"Yes boss," The guard assured him before Peter ended the call.

It turns out that Peter didn't forget about Mia and her family. He hasn't forgotten about their harshness and wickedness towards him.

Now that he's rich, he can easily take his revenge on them as he wants. He wants to make them suffer for taking his happiness away from him.

"I could get the authorities on them if I want to. I mean... I now have immersive wealth. They are just a couple of poor helpless people who are now broke. But that won't please me to the point of satisfaction. I want them to suffer real good," Peter planned, letting out a devilish smirk.

It's revealed that Mia and her family are going through a lot with their business and need money badly.

This is indeed an opening for Peter.

"After what they did to my mother, I can't allow them to have an easy punishment. They must pay for their crime. I will handle this revenge my way, " He decided, leaving the room to finalize the meeting once and for all.

.

At Mia's home, Mia and her family are having a difficult situation over their numerous debts and bankruptcy.

All the properties in their home have been sold, and now the bank is threatening to throw them on the streets and take both their mansion and Company away.

They were in big trouble and didn't know what to do.

"We have no choice but to sell the company and mansion to raise the money," Mia's father suggested, leaving everyone refusing the idea.

"Can you hear yourself? If we sell them both, where are we going to live?" His wife questioned, getting scared over her husband's plan.

"Yeah, Dad. You can't do this, " His son refused as well.

"This will ruin us for sure. There has to be another way out, " Mia said, getting scared like the others.

But her father had no other choice but to do so.

"But the problem now is who would buy it from us? I've contacted some of my business partners and no one is willing to help us, " He shared, revealing the bigger problem they were in.

Just as they were panicking, the bank manager and authorities arrived to take the mansion and company from Mia and her family.

They all fell on their knees, begging for some more time, but the bank wouldn't listen.

Just when they were about to kick them out, the unexpected occurred.

"What is going on here?" A voice asked from the entrance.

They looked and were stunned to see a well-dressed Peter, standing in their home.

"Peter?" Mia uttered, looking stunned.

Despite the situation they were in, Mia's family still had the guts to order Peter to leave their homes, telling him to leave with his poverty.

Peter said nothing but smirked at them.

"Shut it! Do you know who you fools are talking to?" The manager from the bank that came to take the mansion and company, sparked at Mia and her family.

"This is Mr Peter Coleman, the billionaire and CEO of Coleman's empire. Show some respect," He revealed, leaving Mia and her family shocked.

"Coleman's empire? He's the owner? " They gazed in shock.

Mia can't believe this. She had heard that Mr Coleman found his long-lost son and passed his inheritance to him, but she never knew that it was her ex-husband. 

"Peter is the owner of Coleman's empire?" Her family muttered in astonishment.

Peter felt pleased to see the shock on his enemy's face.

The authorities and bank manager greeted them and requested to know why Peter was there.

With pride, he said, "I'd like to buy their mansion and company if you don't have a problem with that." He directed his gaze at Mia and her family, leaving them bewildered.

They didn't know what to do in this situation. But since it's the only way out of their problem, they agreed to Peter's decision, selling the largest share of their company to him.

And Peter buys

it with ease.

"My gosh. My husband is rich," Mia admired, staring at Peter with lust in her eyes.
