2024-10-29 19:42:56After buying the company and mansion from Mia's family, the bank manager and the authorities left the mansion.
Once they did, Mia and her family came drawing closer to Peter.
"Our wonderful son-in-law. Thank you for saving us," Mia's father appreciated, standing beside Peter.
"I've always known you were a star. You've made your mother-in-law proud, " Mia's mother said, giggling.
Mia's brother pokes Mia to move closer to Peter and welcome him.
"He has been away for long. Welcome him," Her brother said, along with her family.
Mia blushes like a new bride, attempting to near Peter. Only for the billionaire to stun them all.
"Pathetic!" He insulted, letting out a smirk at them.
This left Mia and her family staring at him in surprise.
"My love, why are you acting this way? " Mia asked, about nearing Peter.
But she's shocked by Peter's action. He shoved her hand from touching him, saying, "Don't touch me with that filthy hand, you whore."
"Peter?" Mia gazed in shock.
Right before their eyes, Peter's guards came matching into the mansion, leaving Mia and her family terrified at their number.
"This is my mansion now. I want this helper to get down to work before I return. Will head over to my new company to see how things are going there, " Peter instructed his guards, referring to Mia and her family as helpers.
The guards agreed to do as their master had instructed.
"Helpers?" Mia's parents uttered realizing what was happening.
After selling the larger portion of their company and selling off their home to Peter, they thought he would consider them because he always loved Mia. But they are left blown by his decision towards them.
Not wanting to waste his time with them, Peter leaves them, ignoring their calls.
He felt on top of the world, as he heard them calling out to him from behind.
"Fools. Your suffering has just begun," He said stepping into his car, leaving.
.
News of Peter's success as a businessman and heir of the late Coleman's empire went wild like fire, dragging the attention of companies and businessmen far and near to him.
The news also got to Kayla's ears. She's aware of Peter's success, and how he's related to Victor, but he is the true heir to Mr Coleman.
This brought Joy to her heart because she had fallen so deeply for Peter after that night he saved her from those drunkards.
That's why she kept staying and visiting him at the hospital to keep him company. She loves Peter a lot, and now her love for him has increased after learning this truth about his real identity.
"That letter. That means that the letter wasn't fake. Peter went in search of the truth," Kayla reasoned, remembering the content of the letter.
What made her happier was the fact that Victor no longer had the power to raise his shoulder like before.
Before she broke up with Victor, the spoilt fellow always bragged about how he'd take over his late Uncle's empire and be the richest billionaire in the world.
His constant bragging and habit of flirting with other ladies, got Kayla mad, that she had to end the relationship with him.
And with pride, Victor accepted it, showing he didn't care about her. That broke Kayla's heart, but she was ready to move on without Victor.
But fate brought her to his cousin, her savior, whom she has come to love after his heroism.
There's no day that Kayla doesn't dream about Peter. She has always tried to visit the hospital to see him. But when she got the chance to visit the hospital, Kayla learned he was discharged, and it made her sad.
But now, everything is different.
"Peter. I can't wait to see you," She smiled, getting dressed to leave her home.
Peter, who was at his company, preparing to leave that evening, gets a call from his guards at Mia's home, reporting how Mia and her family were struggling to work.
It only made Peter laugh in mockery.
"They wanted money to save themselves from ending up in the street right? Then they better work their ass out if they want to remain there, " Peter said, stepping out of the company with two guards following.
Just as he was approaching the car, Peter noticed someone coming towards him from the left.
He navigates his attention and he's shocked to see Kayla, dressed in a beautiful blue dress, staring at him with a smile.
"Kayla?" Peter felt his heart glow on seeing the woman who took care of him for a short while before she was taken.
"Peter," Kayla called, rushing up to him.
Smiles crept across Peter's face, as he drew away from his guards and straight at Kayla, welcoming her into his embrace.
Kayla felt so happy when she felt Peter's arms wrapping around her. She felt her love for him increasing.
"It's been so long, Kayla. How have you been?" Peter asked, lifting her off his grip to look at her face.
Kayla blushed, telling him that she was fine.
Her eyes came trailing Peter's appearance, and she couldn't help but admire him more.
"You aren't looking bad yourself," She teased him.
Seeing her after a long time, took Peter's mind off what he was doing before.
With delight, he invites Kayla over to his mansion, showing his desire to catch up with her after so long.
"You have to come with me, " He said, pulling her along.
Kayla didn't object to his request. She has always wanted to see Peter for a long time but was scared of Victor then. But now that Peter is more powerful than Victor, she no longer has fear for him.
"Of course, I will," She agreed, entering Peter's car.
Peter takes Kayla to his home, where they have dinner, and catch up with old times, laughing about some funny moments.
Kayla, slowly bringing her laughter down, said, "Who knew that the man who saved me was the rightful heir to Mr Coleman?"
Peter curved his lips on hearing her words. He rubbed his back neck, saying, " I too didn't know what the heavens had in store for me. I never knew I was related to a billionaire or to that annoying cousin of mine." He rolled his eyes.
Kayla laughs, placing her hand on Peter's own. It sent a spark in Peter's heart, as he looked at Kayla's eyes, seeing the shimmers within.
"I'm so happy for you," She said.
Hearing her, Peter felt pleased.
His arms came around Kayla, leaving her stunned by his action, as he said to her in his embrace, "I'v
e missed you so much."
This touches Kayla deeply. She wrapped her arms around Peter, saying, " I've missed you too."

After about an hour of driving, the car pulled up in front of a deserted building.“Get down, you old fool." One of the men screamed the command at Bill Steels. He was childishly open, shivering like a wet cat. He managed to push himself out of the car with his eyes still tied.“Please don’t kill me." Mr. Bill begged, his body shaking vehemently. He was led into the abandoned building by the men; he wasn’t sure how many rooms he passed, but he knew they made about three separate turns before they got to the dark room.“Take off the blinds," a voice commanded, and the man quickly did as instructed. Mr. Bill’s eyes were blurry by the time the blind was taken off. He could see human figures but couldn’t make out their faces.“Sit”. The one whom he suspected to be their boss commanded him again. The man had a voice akin to that of someone he knew, but he wasn’t sure until he could see clearly. His eyes soon adjusted to the darkness, and soon the man’s face came out. His eyes widened whe

Bill nodded his approval of the plan.“You can convince your daughter to track him into our trap, can you?”.'Yes, I can do that."

Victor said this on his couch in his living room, wiping off the blood from his nose.

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.

“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.

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
