The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 73
Henry's surgery was done successfully that night before. Mia woke up with an ache all over her body. She stretched her broken leg and still felt the pain, although not as much as the previous day. She sat and took a deep breath while reminiscing on all that had happened in the past few days. It seemed like she had been in this situation for a hundred years of her life. She yawned and got up to give herself a quick look in the mirror. Her face was pale, with two pink lines cut across her left cheek. She touched it with a free hand and cursed.Mia's reflection stared back at her, mirroring the exhaustion in her eyes. She sighed, running her fingers through her tousled hair, which now seemed more like a tangled mess than the silky waves she was used to. The events of the past few days replayed in her mind like a relentless movie, each scene etching itself deeper into her memory.With a resigned shrug, Mia turned away from the mirror, feeling the weight of the day ahead settling onto her
The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 74
Peter isn't moved by all Mia had said—he had his money, and even if she exposed him for dealing with Henry mercilessly, that would only be a bonus to his name. Mia has thought about the opportunity and the huge change $200,000 would make to her life. She traced her way back to the hospital, and this time she didn't have to hide since her intentions were clear enough. Henry was awake by the time she entered the ward. He looked at her briefly and smiled, and before she could say a word, he began to scream, almost attacking her in the process.“Whoa! She screamed, and just before she could hide herself, a nurse ran in, followed shortly by a thick-blond woman.“Who is she, and what does she want with my son?” She asked with agony in her eyes.“Mmm, I'm Henry's friend. What is wrong with him?” Mia asked.“The doctor says his brain is damaged and he cannot recognize anyone. He might seem a bit aggressive in the first few weeks, but it will get better." The woman said Mia surveyed her bod

Peter had finished addressing the few guests invited for the occasion at the company's multi-purpose hall. Dress in his three-piece suit and a hat. He stood on the podium and addressed the men he had invited for the auspicious occasion of his solar panel launch. Some of the products are displayed in front of the hall. Everything had been put in place with huge campaigns. The team members and engineers had done a great job picking out the design for the product. Kayla was sitting at the special table she shared with Peter and other prominent men. Jim was there, too. The elaborate party was set up with guests from far and near.“Your man is a smart one," Jim said to Kayla with a smile on his face. She nodded her agreement to him, and the other men laughed heartily.I hear you make crazy designs for company brands. Jim told her, I think I would need a new logo for my business. Kayla's eyes widened as she heard those words under the soft speech Peter was giving at the podium. She would

Peter had barely entered his home when he got a call from Tyler. He didn’t believe what Tyler had told him, and Tyler, on the other hand, refused to leave the scene until the police showed up.Peter panicked as he put the phone down.“You seem tensed. Is anything the matter? Kayla asked, trying to take off her clothes. She had had a great time at the party.I heard you scream from my room. Is there a problem, Peter Coleman?” she asked, addressing him by his government name.“I think I am trouble, Kayla,” he said, sighing heavily.“You should talk to me about it. Worrying isn’t to solve the problem either." She said she was scanning Peter’s face.“I just received a call from Tyler just a moment ago, and it isn’t good at all, Kayla,” Peter answered with pain in his voice. His tone was thick and cloudy.He looked up at her, his eyes red with anger and his bones vibrating.“What did he say?”“Something about an explosive; I didn’t quite get what he was saying, but from what I could deduce

In the large hospital corridor, thick thuds of boots slamming against the ceramic floor could be heard. Henry’s mom was just halfway from her son’s medical room when she met Dr. Briggs. With a soft smile on her face, she greeted him. “Dr. Briggs, how are you today?”“I’m fine, madam. Here to see Henry, I guess?” The doctor assumed, however, that he was right. Even though her son had not recovered from the hit, she is still happy that she has been able to bring the culprit to justice. Mia was still in her custody, and until she was able to find this so-called Peter, she would not rest. Meanwhile, Mia had forgotten to give her Peter’s full name.She sighed.“Your son will be fine; it’s just a matter of time and he will be back to normal," the doctor promised.“It's fine then; I still want to see if he can tell me a few things." She said she was still convinced in her heart that her son wasn’t mad. She had never experienced anything as such in her life. But then she keeps thinking about

CHAPTER 78The men left the hospital and headed straight to the place where they had held Mia for about forty-eight hours with nothing to it.Mia was lying on the floor on her back when she heard the boots clicking against the hard floor. She managed to turn, holding her dislocated hand in place. A foul smell emanated from her mouth and her body. She hasn't had a bath in two days, and her hair is a mess. She blew air from her mouth into her palm and smelled it.She gagged at her odor. Her eyes were afraid.The steps grow closer and closer, and on my feet, I jab the door open, falling to one side of the wall.“There you are, our smart lady." The leader of the gang hailed her. Mia scowled at him.“Well, I guess you’ve had a nice time with the insect in this damn room." His colleagues laughed at his dry joke.“Get me out of here." She ordered them this time. She had a sorrowful look in her eyes and didn’t know how to express her pain anymore. Her stomach was hurting, and her eyes were be

Peter paced his office back and forth with disappointment on his face. He had asked his workers to stay at home for a few days so they could rest from the incident. Tyler wasn’t hurt that much and has refused to stay home. Instead, he resumed work early in the morning as usual, and when Peter saw him come into his office, he was shocked. “I thought I asked you to stay home for a few days. What are you doing here?” Peter asked with a small frown, marring his features.“I asked you to stay home, Tyler; you shouldn’t be here at this moment.” He said that and checked the time on his wristwatch. “Seventeen minutes past seven o’clock? Who the hell shows up at work this early? Or do you have anything you are not telling me?” He raised his brows in speculation.“Sir, I can’t stay home when the company is in this critical stage. I am not as broken as you think. I can still do my job." Tyler countered. “And the injury on your hand?” Peter asked, looking at the plaster on Tyler’s hand. "C'mon

“Tyler, do you think we can get to the root of this?”Peter asked. He is sure the detective and his team would do a great job, but then something inside of him tells him the mission would be near impossible if he didn't involve himself in the search. “I think Mr. Reynolds knows his onions so well. You brought him, didn't you?” He flashes his boss a knowing look."Yes, sure, but do you think I got those names right? Victor could be innocent this time, you know. We were all at the inaugural conference together. If he had a hand in it, do you even think he would show up all dressed so nicely?”. Peter asked again. The thoughts running through his mind were just too much to ignore. He needed to talk to someone at the time, and Tyler was the only one who could understand his pain right now.“You should go to the factory and make a little inquiry about the boys hired to load the truck. Someone should have an idea." He said it coldly. “Also meet the accountant for compensation for your inj
