The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 24: The Turning Point
Lawton stepped through the revolving doors of the company, his sharp eyes scanning the pristine lobby. The air was cool, artificial, like the false sense of security this company had been running on for too long. Everything looked polished on the surface—polite greetings, pristine floors, a buzz of activity that hinted at productivity—but Lawton knew better. This company had been stagnant, coasting on past success for far too long. “Good morning, sir,” the receptionist said with a practised smile. Lawton offered a curt nod, his thoughts already moving ahead to the task at hand. Today wasn’t just another day in the office. Today was the day he had to put the company on notice. Waiting near the elevators was Smithson, his father’s loyal assistant, who had become his de facto guide through the intricacies of running the business. Smithson was a man who commanded respect without demanding it, his calm demeanour masking the years of experience and knowledge he had gained. Lawton had alw
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 25 - A Call to Innovation
The meeting room buzzed with this… anxious energy as Lawton stepped inside. The executives were already seated, their expressions a mix of scepticism and curiosity. He could feel their eyes on him, a silent judgement lingering in the air. Taking a deep breath, he straightened his shoulders, ready to confront all of them. “Thank you all for gathering here today,” Lawton began, his voice steady but authoritative. “As you know, I’ve been reviewing the company’s records, and I have some concerning findings.” He glanced at the charts projected on the screen, the stark decline in product innovation evident to all. “It appears we haven’t launched a new product in years. Can anyone explain why?” A heavy silence fell over the room, broken only by the sound of a chair creaking as Mr Thompson, the head of marketing, shifted uncomfortably. “Well, Lawton, we’ve encountered several roadblocks,” he said cautiously. “One reason is that we’ve run out of ideas. The market has changed, and we’ve strug
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 26: Barry’s Move
Lawton awoke with a shock, the remnants of his nightmares hanging on him like cobwebs. For a brief while, he forgot where he was, and then the weight of the previous day's events returned. He glanced at the clock; it was early, but his thoughts were already racing. His wife, Amanda, had begged that he eat something before going to the hospital, and he couldn't resist her worried pleadings. She hovered about him, fear on every line of her face, but he reassured her before returning to his mother's side. When Lawton arrived at the hospital, he felt a surge of anxiety. The hospital was alive with activity, in stark contrast to the empty streets he had traversed the night before. Security was tight, as Smithson had stated. He walked by many guards, their eyes bright and attentive, on his approach to his mother's ward. When he walked in, his mother was awake, and her eyes lit up as she saw him. She extended a thin hand, and he gently accepted it, feeling a rush of love. "Hi, Mom," he rep
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 27: Amanda's Dinner with Barry
Lawton came home to see Amanda getting ready to go out. She was standing in front of the mirror, carefully applying makeup—a sight that caught him off guard. He locked the door behind him and continued towards her. His curiosity was stirred. He couldn't fathom any reason why she would be leaving at this hour of the day. Trying to recall if they had any plans for the evening, he meticulously searched his memory. Though he struggled to remember, nothing came to his mind. "Are you going somewhere, Amanda?" With a voice that was just slightly nervous, he asked. Amanda looked up at him, determination and worry mixed together on her face. "I am," she answered truthfully. "Barry Colton invited me to dinner." Lawton's eyes widened in surprise. "Barry Colton? The businessman?" Amanda nodded. "Yes, he said he has a business proposal to discuss with me." Lawton scowled, his protective reflexes kicking in. "Are you sure about this? Barry is known for his charisma, but he's also a highly p
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 28: A proposal of deception
"Thank you," Amanda said with a gentle smile as sat down before taking in the luxurious ambience of the wealthy and high-class restaurant they were seated in. Barry took his seat as they settled comfortably into their seats under the soft glow of the candlelight which created a warm feeling over the elegant surroundings of their private room. Barry, who was on edge to impress Amanda, sat on the edge of his seat as he leaned towards Amanda who was taken aback by his action. He decided to go straight or rather dive deep into what came into his mind first. “Hey, Amanda,” he called out to her, slowly and a little bit sexually which irritated Amanda. The dinner had not even started but Amanda was starting to feel uncomfortable. “Why don't we order something bountiful to eat? And set the mood right before getting down to business! There is a popular saying that says the strength of within is what you use outside and what can fuel that strength, food! W
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 29: Acceptance
“What?” He uttered, sounding extremely surprised. “Barry, I don't have anything to say nor do I know what to say at the moment!” She expressed as she tried to hide her disbelief and her growing irritation. “What I can say is this is just too sudden and I might have to think about it thoroughly. I still have a job if you have forgotten, so I need time!” She was prompted to say as he kept quiet for a long while looking at her like a lost dog whose owner is dead. “Of course, you can do that! I mean you have all the time in the world to think about it, at least you should get back to me by ten sharp! But I think I know and I can assure you was this opportunity I am giving to you on a platter of gold is something you don't want to pass or slip your fingers,” He said, quickly regaining his composure as his puppy looked slowly faded into disappointment then he tried to cover it up with a fake charming smile. “Ten sharp? What do you mean, that's nearly an hour left!” Amanda complained to
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 30- A Toast Too Far
"No, I'm not going into your hotel room," Amanda stated with a serious tone. "Infact I think I should leave," She added, as she stood up, Barry immediately walked up to her. "Okay, Let's just have a drink together," He muttered, as Amanda looked at him. "Just one drink," He uttered. "Okay," Amanda said, dropping her bag before sitting down. Barry called out to the waiter who brought a bottle one wine and poured two glasses for the both of them. As Amanda collected the glass of wine, her eyes flickered from the glass of wine in Barry’s hand to his expectant smile. The restaurant’s lighting was soft and warm, almost giving the evening an illusion of comfort. But she felt anything but comfortable. This wasn’t a night out with friends, nor was it a celebration she wanted to be part of. Barry’s intentions were clear, and as much as she wanted to avoid confrontation, she felt the weight of his insistence pressing on her. “Barry, really, I don’t drink,” she said, forcing a polite smile
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 31- Shadows in the Night
Amanda’s heart was pounding as she walked briskly down the dimly lit street, her mind still foggy from the wine Barry had insisted on. She clutched her phone tightly, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialled Lawton’s number. The cold air nipped at her face, and every shadow seemed to stretch a little too far, lingering like a silent threat in the dark. “Lawton?” Her voice was unsteady, the relief flooding her as he picked up. “Amanda? What’s wrong?” His voice, firm and familiar, instantly calmed her racing heart. It was as if he could sense the worry laced through her words. “I... I’m not sure. I feel strange, and... there are people, I think...” She paused, glancing behind her again. The two men from earlier were gone, but the uneasy feeling lingered. She took a shaky breath. “Can you come get me? Please?” “Send me your location,” he said, no hesitation in his voice. “I’m on my way.” Amanda quickly sent him a pin of her location, exhaling in relief as she knew he’d be there

"What happened?" Smithson said as he saw an unconscious Amanda. "We should rush her to the hospital," he added. He then assisted Lawton in carrying Amanda and they both picked her up. They carried her into the car and Lawton entered the back seat with her while Smithson sat in the front seat with the driver. "Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately. The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency. Lawton carefully placed Amanda's head on his lap as he felt her pulse frequently. "Please hurry," Lawton who was feeling a mix of emotions said.
