Uprising Of The Hidden Heir Chapter 60
Vincent, Austin and Francis exit the police station. They head to Vincent's parked some distance away. Austin takes a long look at Vincent. Austin cannot begin to imagine what he would do if Vincent is not his life. Since Vincent stepped into his life, he has become outgoing. Austin of before would not go out for any dinner or conference. He would always be working because that's all he thought of. Vincent is now gradually taking him out of his shell. "Why are you looking at me?" Vincent jokes. Austin quickly looks away, "It's nothing. I'm just glad I have you in my life. I promise you, Vincent, when I become the CEO of my company, I will repay you for your kindness.""Austin, I'm not doing this to regain any favors. You're my friend." Vincent says candidly."I know, Vincent. It's just sometimes, it feels like I have to repay you. It's the world I have lived in for some years now.""I'm not those type of people, Austin." Vincent says. "Mr. Vincent, I'll be leaving now. I have anoth

Austin feels the cool morning breeze. He looks up at the sky and the sun is gradually rising. Austin looks at his polished brown shoes and his black suit and trousers. Vincent had sent this for him yesterday. Today, Austin is going to Ariel's company to make a deal that he has no knowledge of yet. A black slows to a stop in front of Austin. The passenger's seat window winds down exposing Ben in the driver's seat. "Good morning, sir." Ben greets, "Please get in." Austin opens the passenger's seat and gets in, closing the door."Good morning, Ben. Please don't call me sir. You can call me Austin." "Mr. Vincent will be angry if I call you by your name." Ben notes. "Vincent does not seem that type of an uptight person." "He is uptight when it comes to you." Ben says. Austin looks at Ben, surprised by his words. Ben continues, "Mr. Vincent does not have anybody he can friends. The people surrounding him are who you call colleagues and business partners." "What about you, Ben? Do y

Ariel and Austin are seated opposite each other on the office sofa. Ariel crosses her legs and squints her eyes. "How do you know Mr. Vincent?" Ariel asks. "I'm not obligated to answer that question?" Austin counteracts. Ariel inhales deeply, "Do you have something on him? Are you blackmailing Mr. Vincent, that is why he is doing everything you want?" "Ariel, I'm not that type of person. I would never stoop so low." Austin says firmly. Ariel shakes her head, she can't get any information out of Austin no matter what she asks. "Can we begin the meeting now?" Austin asks. "Give me a moment. Luther will be joining us in the meeting." Ariel replies. Austin smirks. He is not surprised that Ariel called Luther over. In a matter of minutes, Ariel's office door swings open and Luther hurries in. He halts abruptly seeing Austin seated. "I could not believe it when Ariel told me. What are you doing here, Austin?" Austin says, walking over to sit beside Ariel. "I'm Mr. Vincent's repres

"I'm actually coming to your company," Psalms said.Rose blinked in surprise, "What?"Psalms chuckled, "You are so cute when you do that" he said and Rose blushed."Why are you coming to my company though?" Rose asked."Sir Gabriel and I are working on a project together," Psalms said and Rose nodded."I'll be going to your company right after I have my coffee, would you like to come with me?" Psalms asked. Rose felt extremely happy when he said that and Psalms noted it, "Of course" Rose smiled. After they had their coffee, they left the restaurant together.…… Ben drove Austin to Vincent's company. They both alighted the car. They got inside and they took an elevator to Vincent's office. He just finished a meeting with some clients when they came in."Austin, you're here," Vincent smiled."I'm here too" Ben mumbled and he rolled his eyes making Austin laugh. "I gave Ariel the contract already. She was really happy about it while Luther remained suspicious" Austin said."He's

"What's going on here?" Gabriel asked."Christian was just saying he didn't want Rose to get better," Psalms said."What did you just say!?" Gabriel asked with widened eyes. " Christian, it isn't true right?"."No dad, I was talking about a different Rose, Rose Shawn" Christian explained in a calm voice."Isn't that right Tatiana?" He asked his worker."Yes, that's right," She said. Gabriel sighed in relief, " I knew my son would never hurt his sister in any way " Gabriel said."Wait, why don't you want this Rose Shawn to get better?" Psalms asked, he eyed Christian suspiciously."Rose Shawn is an ex-convict. She was taken to the mental hospital after it was confirmed that she had a disorder. We don't want her to get better because we know if she does, she might try to escape and she will hurt a lot of people " Christian lied through his teeth."That sounds believable, isn't it Psalms?" Gabriel asked."I guess so" Psalm said, he could have sworn that Christian was actually talking ab

Austin felt like air had been knocked out of his lungs. He felt so shocked by the revelation. He had left the party because Ramsey called him to inform him about something important. Never in his wildest imaginations did he think something like that would occur. Who would listen to him though? He would explain from now till the world comes to an end but no one would believe him because he had no evidence."I knew Austin would try to jeopardize Vincent's career," Ariel yelled, she pushed her way to the front of the crowd. Austin didn't feel surprised at all, this was her plan, she wanted to separate him and Vincent."This is why I broke up with his sorry ass," Ariel said."Let's not jump into conclusions, why would you believe a criminal?" Vincent asked. " Let's check his phone, the evidence we need must be in there," Austin said. The cops checked the thief and they brought out his phone."Is this necessary?" Ariel asked. "The thief has confessed already," she said. Austin coul

Austin was bundled and he was thrown out of the premises. Austin's eyes became red with anger. Austin switched on his phone which he had previously turned off. He saw lots of missed calls from Vincent and he quickly called Vincent. Vincent picked at the first ring, "Austin why aren't you here yet?" Vincent asked in an unsettled voice. " Luther showed up when I got there. He sent guards to throw me out" Austin said. Vincent started fuming with rage when he heard what Austin said."Where are you right now?" Vincent asked."I'm right outside the venue" Austin said and Vincent quickly rushed out to meet him. Truly, he met Austin outside the venue. Austin followed Vincent back inside. Vincent walked angrily to Luther who was conversing with other billionaires. He punched Luther in the jaw and he staggered back due to the impact. Vincent held his collar, "You thought I wouldn't be able to recognize you because you changed your hair style and you stopped wearing glasses!?" Vince

Luther continued to stare at Ariel, and he was panic-stricken. What could he do? He really didn't want to lose Ariel."That's not true Ariel, at least let me explain," Luther said. Ariel looked at him like he was dirt, "If you weren't guilty you should have defended yourself but you allowed Vincent to wash you down with insults, how do you think I'm going to carry my head high in public?" Ariel asked harshly. Luther sighed, he couldn't deal with Ariel not when his head was in a total mess. He went back to his car and he started driving away."Luther!!" Ariel yelled loudly. "Come back here you coward" She took off her shoe and she threw it at his car, cracking the windshield of the car.…….. Austin walked into a restaurant with Ramsey. Ramsey had suggested they had lunch together since it's been so long since they hung out. They ordered some food and they went to a secluded table, hidden from the eyes of the crowd."It's been so long we hung out like this," Ramsey said.

Saturday afternoon buzzed with a frenetic energy. The air thrummed with car horns and the chatter of bustling crowds.Vincent, a man built like a linebacker with a surprisingly gentle touch, wrestled with a tangled mess of shopping bags.Ramsey, ever the joyful friend since childhood, sported a wide grin and a mischievous glint in his eyes as he nudged a particularly stubborn bag Vincent's way.And Austin… they all piled up in Vincent's sleek black SUV."Man, slow down there, Santa Claus," Ramsey chuckled, dodging a rogue shopping bag with a practiced swoop. "We just need a few suits, not enough to redecorate Austin's entire apartment."Austin, the object of their playful jabs, followed behind, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. "Hey, I gotta step up my game, right? Can't walk into my first official day as a manager looking like a college freshman anymore. Not in a hoodie and jeans, please."Vincent snorted. "Don't worry, Aust. By the end of this shopping spree, you'll look sharper

A grin split Vincent's face as Austin finished explaining his plan. "That's a brilliant idea, man," he said, bumping fists with Austin in a friendly greeting. Ramsey, ever the strategist, chimed in with a thoughtful nod."And remember," Ramsey added, "we're always here to back you up if things get hairy.""Yeah, thanks a bunch, bro," Austin replied, his smile widening as he shook both their hands. It was a simple gesture, a silent language of trust and camaraderie that spoke volumes.Ramsey, however, wasn't quite finished. "Hold on, Austin," he interjected, turning towards Vincent. "Don't you think we should get some supplies? The manager needs to look the part, right?""Right on, man!" Vincent exclaimed, snapping his fingers in agreement. The rest of them echoed his sentiment, a wave of realization washing over the group.Laughter bubbled out of Austin. "See, Ramsey's got the brains of this operation," he teased, nudging his friend playfully.Ramsey snorted, a hint of amusement crink

Saint gnawed on his thumbnail, pacing like a caged wolf on the narrow balcony overlooking the bustling city below. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the cool night air.He replayed the events in his head, calculating the timeline with morbid satisfaction. By now, Rose had to be gone. He was sure she would be dead.He'd orchestrated a "tragic accident" – a forced jump off a moving boat, playing on her crippling fear of water. In his mind, it was a foolproof plan.Rose had aquaphobia and being on the sea would have raised her blood pressure. And for her to even jump into the sea would have been so bad on her.Rose wouldn't have lasted a second in the water. Her aquaphobia was legendary, guaranteed to send her blood pressure skyrocketing and her heart

A steaming mug of coffee cupped in her hands, Ariel scanned the bustling coffee shop.Her eyes snagged on a flash of familiar blonde hair – Crystal, pushing open the door with a flourish. Relief washed over Ariel, momentarily eclipsing the bitter aftertaste of her previous conversation with Andrew.Maybe Crystal's infectious energy would chase away the lingering tension. Crystal was so anxious to know about her plans and here they were, ready to spill out.Ariel slammed her mug down a little too hard, the clatter drawing Crystal's attention. A wide grin stretched across Crystal's face as she sashayed over, her hips swaying with practiced ease. Crystal saw her at one go and walked towards her with a big smile on her face."I beat you when it comes to time but it seems like you win the Speed Demon award again," Crystal announced as she slid into the seat opposite Ariel.Ariel laughed, the sound was genuine despite the knot of worry tightening in her stomach. "Always," she conceded. "Tho

"He's headed to South America. That's far away." Christian muttered more like he was talking to himself and still looking at the tab before him, "He's hopping continents, Christian. That's a long way from the mess he made here." Disbelief laced Christian's voice.Saint, that criminal was traveling very far away from his crimes. He was trying very hard to slip further and further away."He's got a mission, Psalms," Christian said, a steely glint entering his eyes. "And we're going to help him complete it."Psalms scoffed. "By letting him waltz off to South America and hoping he spills his guts on some exotic beach? Christian, that's a crazy plan.""Not crazy," Christian corrected, his voice firm. "Risky, yes. But it's the only way to get him. Think about it, Psalms. If we follow him and get close enough to gain his trust, we can get him to talk. He might slip up, and reveal details about other operations, bigger players. Evidence the cops can't ignore."A tense silence rose between the

The sterile white walls of the hospital seemed to press down on Vincent as he shuffled behind Ramsey and Austin, their laughter bouncing off the polished floor. Outside, the late afternoon sun casts long shadows, promising the freedom Vincent craved."That's crazy, you know," Austin cackled, nudging Ramsey with his elbow. "Just leave him there. He'd probably start talking to pigeons again."Ramsey slapped Austin on the back, a booming laugh erupting from his chest. "Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Vincent, the pigeon whisperer."Vincent rolled his eyes, a familiar warmth blooming in his chest despite their teasing. "So, you're saying I've always been a couple of fries short of a happy meal? That I've always been crazy, yeah?"Ramsey grinned, a playful glint in his eyes. "Everyone knows that. Vinnie and Trouble, 5&6. You're our resident nutter."The playful banter felt foreign after weeks of IV drips and endless beeping monitors. Vincent winced as he remembered the metallic tang of bloo

The smirk on Andrew's face didn't reach his eyes."You can just leave, Ariel," he said, his voice tight. This wasn't a joke anymore. "Nobody dumps me. No one."Ariel's smile faltered. She knew Andrew had a temper, but this was a whole new level. He looked genuinely pissed, and seeing his jaw clench, she knew she wasn't helping."That was a joke, baby," she tried, her voice light and playful.She reached out, intending to rub his chest like she usually did, a way to soothe him.But Andrew flinched away, his hand shooting out to block her touch."Leave my house. Right now," he spat, the words sharp and cold.Panic flickered

Austin's phone buzzed on the table, shattering the quiet of his tiny apartment. He glanced at the screen, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. It was an unknown number, but the call code matched his father's company. With a deep breath, he answered, "Hello?""Mr. Rufus?" A smooth, professional woman's voice filled his ear.Austin straightened slightly. "Yes, this is he." He couldn't help but wonder who this could be. No one from his father's company ever called him.He wondered what could be the reason they were calling."Mr. Rufus," the woman continued, "I apologize for the unexpected call. This is Sarah Jones, calling from Rufus Enterprises."Yes. He was right. It was really his father's company. And Austin wondered why the lady apologized for no reason at all.Austin's stomach lurched. Rufus Enterprises. His father's company."Hello, Ms. Jones," he managed, his voice tight. "How can I help you?""Mr. Rufus," she began and then paused for a beat too long. The silence stretched,

Frustration laced Austin's voice.He eyed Alison with a mix of concern and frustration. "Here you are, clinging to me when you have this massive issue with your husband, and Angela's health is failing? What happens to the others? What about everyone else?!"Discomfort gnawed at him. He couldn't articulate his own turmoil, but he knew Alison hovering around him like a lost puppy wasn't the answer when her own life was a house on fire.Austin couldn't even explain what was happening to him and how he was reacting but he definitely didn't want Alison to be just over him while her spaces were void in some areas.Alison's shoulders slumped, and she choked back a sob. "You're my son, Austin. You're my responsibility too. I need to be here for you as well." She sobbed, "You're mine.""Mom, that's not helpful right now," Austin countered, a frown etched on his face, "Spare me that.""I will be fine. I can take care of myself. You need to be with Angela. Your husband is probably furious with y
