The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 95
“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

The next morning, when Kayla woke up, she was feeling much better than when she had gone to bed. She lay in bed and grabbed the remote from the nightstand. and turned the television to her favorite TV show. She yawned and checked the time. She didn't feel like going to work today, so she picked up her phone and texted her boss that she wasn't feeling well. She was quite exhausted, and with the bruise on her face, there was no way she was going to spend the whole day explaining to her colleagues what happened to her.“Are you sure he even got the text?” She asked herself after she had sent the text five minutes ago. She grabbed the comforter for herself and rested her head on her arm. She sighed in frustration. Mia had ruined her entire night, and now she had to live with the anguish for the day. No amount of make-up would hide the bruises; except for that, she was perfectly fine. She picked up her phone and dialed her boss's number directly."Hello,” she said when his voice came on th

Peter had just pulled in at the Coleman Tower when he spotted Victor's car just stopping too. He knew it was his so-called cousin, but he had no plans to have a chit-chat with him. He is aware of the several plots against him, so he has made a vow to himself to keep his distance. He put on his dark shades, making him look even more elegant and sharp as he was in his grand style.“Ah! Ah! Here comes the Alpha of the great family. I should have known better. A loser would always be a loser." Victor began to scowl the words the moment he saw Peter approaching the tower's front door.“I don't have time for this bullshit." Peter said it in his mind and continued to walk. The moment he got a bit closer, Victor jumped out of nowhere and tooted in front of him.“Get the hell off my path before I crush you to powder." Peter said, and the anger was beginning to build up in his heart. "Oh, you are not that tough, you know that, right? And I don't think I even care about how tough you are." Vic
The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 98
The governor's office was in the heart of town. Peter had quickly arranged himself with Tyler for the meeting. They both got out of the tower, and Tyler held the door for Peter to go in. He was on a call when the driver moved the car. Tyler couldn't pick out whom he was speaking to over the phone, but he knows it had to be someone very important because Peter has made up his mind not to take any unimportant calls during work hours, especially during meetings. He didn't bother to eavesdrop on the conversation since it really didn't concern their job. But from all he could gather, it had to be with the contractors at the new casino tower he was building. That structure alone had taken a lot of money from Peter's personal account, but he didn't even flinch because it was his money, and the casino business is a very good investment, especially if the fellow has good experience running it. Peter took a deep breath and ended the call just a few minutes before they arrived at the governor'

"Alright, you can go with the frittatas, quiches, and tarts. It's nice, and you could add up some grilled chicken breast and veggies or shrimp if you want." She said,Tyler looked at Peter but he was busy talking when the governor noticed him. “It's fine as long as we love it.”."Sure, you will." She said yes and left with the request. Just about that time, the minister showed up.He was a broadly built man, and despite his age, he could pass for a 35-year-old with all the abs and muscles. He looked like he had spent a lot of time at the gym before he finally decided to join politics.“His Excellency; good day to you." He greeted her casually and shook hands with the governor.“Mr. Peter, how are you?” The minister shook hands with him also.“You are welcome, sir. Tyler was greeted quickly, and he also got a handshake.“So we are here to discuss the commissioning of the bridge. It is almost finished. Is that so, Peter?“Yeah, that's it. The work is about 75 percent finished, and we h

“What the hell were you doing out here? I thought you called in sick. Did you sneak to work while I was away?” Peter asked.“No”. I just came out to get a few groceries. “Groceries, for what, though?” “For us, aren't you coming home for dinner?”“Kayla I have a chef, and that's her job. To cook my meals, you don't have to stress yourself.“Well, she told me her baby was sick, so I had to let her go.”.“You should inform me next time." He said it to her. Kayla buried her head on his shoulders till they got to the house. Then he instructed the driver to take Tyler to his own house.“What would you like for dinner?” She asked him the moment they got into the house.“I'm filled. I have a good time at the governor's home, so I won't need any food until tomorrow." Peter said.“Suit yourself then." She snorted the words to him and went her way. They slept that night without any trouble.The next morning, Kayla looked happier than she had gone to bed. Peter was still sleeping when he got a

The wheels screeched loudly against the tarred road as the car turned inward in three sixty-degree directions. “The bastard had something to do with this." He cursed as he drove off angrily. A delivery truck stalled in front of him as he approached the main road. “Get the hell out of the way." Peter barked the words out of his mouth. He sped up the lane, and like a flash, he overtook the truck. He drove as fast as he could, and the moment he got to Victor's apartment, he was happy when he saw Victor's car parked outside. He hurried out of his car and knocked on the door. The second I knocked, he heard the voice boom from inside.“Hold on, I'm coming." And then it was followed by heavy footsteps. Peter balked his fist and wailed patiently. His chest swells and falls as he waits for Victor to open the door, and just as he had anticipated, Victor opens the door, and boom, Peter punches him in the face.“Whoa! What did I do?” “You idiot! After everything my father did for you and your

The next morning, Peter woke up more enraptured and energised, ready to meet the press. This was the only way he could clear his name and redeem his business. He was just about to enter his car when his phone rang.He pulled it out of his breast pocket and looked at the screen. “Tiger, I hope you have something good, “he murmured as she took the back seat of the car. He ordered his driver to proceed with the journey.“Yes, Tiger, is anything positive?” He asked with anticipation to hear what the young man had to say.“Sure boss. We found something incriminating. Logos Inventions wants you down, says your company is standing in their way to growth and existence”. Tiger's voice came from the other end of the phone.“Logos?” Peter queried and chuckled afterwards. “A company owned by Patrick Wilmore. His son Fredrick is in charge now. You know the man's son is crazy. Since his father died, he had been in the top range for years, and your showing and bagging awards in a few months is a th

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. Since her boss had decided to give her a day off work, she wasn’t going to misuse the opportunity. Today was also her antenatal day, and the ma

“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
