The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 88
Peter was just in his office, minding his business, when he heard Tyler's voice booming from the other room. He has always known Tyler to be very soft-spoken, and whatever was making him raise his voice was damn stress. He quickly saved the work he was doing on his computer and adjusted his suit as he got up to find out what exactly was happening in his build. He had only taken a few steps towards the door when it yanked open.“Peter!”. He heard the voice call his name, and then he raised his brows. “Sir, I tried to stop her. I tried to tell her you didn't want to see her, but she wouldn't stop fighting me. Tyler complained. Peter ran his eyes on Tyler to tell him to excuse him, but then he realized the young man's suit buttons had been ruined, and with the way his tie was shifted to one part of his neck, it seems he had gotten into a fight with Mia. They were both panting as they stood before him.“Mia, did you fight my staff?” Peter asked as calmly as he could. Mia rolled her eyes

Just as Mia left the office, Kayla came bearing a basket of food and some fruits."Hey, Mr. CEO." She called out to him with a smile as she moved towards the table where he was sitting. She pushed the seat out and sat on his lap, placing the basket at the same time on the table.“Kayla, how are you?” He asked casually.“I'm fine.Is anything the problem? And what's with the gloomy face, though? She asked as she got up from his lap and took the seat. “Have I done anything wrong?"“No. Kayla It's not you. Mia was here just a few minutes ago.”.“Yes! I saw her down the stairs, growing and murmuring to herself as she walked out of the building." Kayla informed him. “But that shouldn't birth the frown on your face like she stole all your money." She added as she watched him speak.“She came to tell me she had nothing to do with the explosion, plus she asked for some money, which I gave her. I don't know why I can't push her out of my life forever. It's draining.” He complained bitterly.

Why do you keep making trouble? The voice came in just as Peter was about to close his eyes to take a short nap in his office. It's against the rules, but come on, the boss has to break those rules at some point considering how tired he has been of staying up all night for days now just to get a solution to the problems he is facing with the company. In a few days, he would be having a meeting with the governor and the minister concerning the ongoing bridge construction.Sleeping on duty isn't a crime for him; after all, she was done with all he had to do for the day, yet the idea of going home to stay alone keeps killing him all the time.He popped his eyes open, and there he was in a black suit, like an assassin on a mission. Peter squinted his eyes, wondering how deep he had slept in such a short period that he didn't notice Victor come into the room. He scanned Victor for a while to be sure he had not taken away anything of importance from his table. “What do you want?” He asked
The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 91
The annual entrepreneurial conference was hosted in Suncity for the season. Everyone has been in anticipation of how the conference will turn out, as there's been tonnes of success in the corporate world in the last few months. Peter had told himself he had no business attending such a flamboyant meeting where it wouldn't be recognized. All his efforts to get recognition have proved abortive. His latest invention was the talk of town, and there is no way he wouldn't have won at least a little award for himself. He sat in his office and twirled his seat back and forth, then his door swung open. He knows only one person who would barge into his office without any prior information; that person would be Kayla. She is so fond of it, but he doesn't mind as long as she isn't coming here to disturb his peace. Just like Mia, he was fine with it.“Kayla, what's with the smile?” He asked her. A little smile creeped into his face as he demanded answers from her.“I came to see my man, and there

He got into his car but befriended him and drove off. He called Tyler again and gave him a reminder concerning the conference in the evening. Tyler told him he had added it to his list for the day and had set a reminder one hour before the time.Peter acknowledged his efforts and drove off, heading home. The traffic is a little bit tight, and he has to obey all the rules; otherwise, he would be pulled over and probably delayed, and in the end, he might miss the party he had promised Kayla he would attend. He knows that by now she was somewhere in the salon trying to get her hair done, trying to get her nails done, or getting a full spa session. Women are unpredictable. He scoffed at the thought and continued with his drive, taking note of all the traffic rules till he got to a traffic stop, and once it finished counting to zero, it showed the green light. The vehicles blared their honks and drove off. He did the same, taking the left turn to his house. By the time he got home, he was

They drove to the venue, chatting, laughing, putting the little angry moments aside. They sang their favorite songs, talked about work and how their day went and then spoke about life in general. When Peter pulled up in front of the venue, the parking lot was filled with luxurious cars. He smiled as he got in to make room for his car. “See why I said we should come early? Now we have to scout for where to park.”“I thought we trashed that matter a few minutes ago?” he asked, stealing a glance at Kayla.“Yes, we did, but all I'm trying to say is that you should be more organized next time." She advised me.“What are you saying, Kayla? Of course, I am organized. What happened tonight was a mistake on my part, and I am sorry.”.“I know you are sorry, Peter, but I am sure a few days from today the same mistake will repeat itself." She said to him, He looked at her for a while, knowing that if he tried to apologize any further, it would result in another fight.“You look beautiful, Kayla

He walked majestically to get his award from the chairman of the occasion. He never thought that he would get an award in this, even though he bluntly didn't want to attend because he didn't feel like it, but to his greatest amazement, he has been called out to get an award he never lobbied for. The whole thing was crazy and suspicious, but he took it anyway. He got to the podium to get his award, and while everyone was cheering, Kaylay got up and excused herself from the table after cheering on her man for some time. She didn't want to move around when they were still seated, even though she had been in the corporate world for decades. She still had some sort of shyness and fright whenever she found herself in a large gathering such as this.“I want to use the restroom." She told Tyler before she left. He nodded at her, and she squeezed her way out of the hall. She strolled out and took a left turn towards the other side of the wing, where the lady's convenience was located. The hall

“It's drizzling on you, and you can't walk home either," Peter told her. She bit her lower lip and smacked it. "Come, let's go,” Peter said, trying to pull her hand off, but she hit his hand off and walked back. She got into the car and sat down. Peter just couldn't understand the sudden change in democracy. Just a few minutes ago, they had defeated Mia together as a couple, and now she is fighting him already for what he knows nothing about. He tilted his head and watched her as she walked into the car. I got to the seat and fastened his seat belt. Then he remembered that his suit was a little bit wet. He unfastened the seat belt and took his jacket off. Then he put the seat belt back into place.He noticed how Kayla folded her arms and watched him.“What? Kayla, why are you staring at me like I committed some murder?" He asked her out of curiosity and care.“I am offended by the way you let her run into your arms back there." She finally let the words out. Peter was patiently waiti

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

CHAPTER 151
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

CHAPTER 147
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.

CHAPTER 146
“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

CHAPTER 144
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
