Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 12 : Chess
Mark wanted to argue, and wanted to tell his Grandfather that he could not expose himself right now.But the sadness in those old eyes, the guilt for a crime they had never committed and the regret of not being able to do something that they wanted very badly, stopped him.He nodded and walked out of the library, thinking it was not the right time to say or do anything.After all, there were still four days left until the weekend, so he would wait for the opportunity to convince his grandfather; having decided this, he stepped towards his room. Immersed in his thoughts, he climbed up the flight of stairs that led to his room. But he paused for a second before entering the room, his hand frozen at the handle of the door.He was standing in front of this door after so many years, that this duration had almost convinced him that he wouldn't be able to enter this room, ever again.As after so many years, he was still standing at the same spot he had started walking from. It was making hi
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch-13 : Well-wishers
The wall clock placed in the living room showed that it was already seven o'clock.But Mark had not returned yet, and Cassie was waiting for him to come back.She was getting worried, since he had not called her all day. Not only this, but after he had left, he hadn't replied to any of her messages, either.This was something she had never experienced in the entire time period she had known him.She had met him four years ago; back when she was in college. He was the most brilliant student of the class, and the only thing people used to look down on him for was his economical status.But she had always admired him and had always been a fan of his skills; even in their college days, he used to work as a delivery boy and still managed to get the first rank secured in his name, every single time.He might have gotten a decent job after his graduation, if only he didn't have to move with her to Clovelly after their marriage. As an act of vindictiveness, her family had managed to use thei
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 14 : Good news
Connor was in his car, parked under Cassie's apartment, waiting anxiously for any updates. Andrew had promised him that if he agreed to increase the investment, not only would he convince Cassie to marry him, but he would also bring her along for dinner tonight.And because of that, he had also agreed to bring her to the approaching party at the Rover mansion as his partner. After all, the Rovers really preferred to deal with family businesses.He would have been successful in getting an investment or signing some collaborative projects with them much earlier than this; if only the Rovers were not this private.But finally, they had decided to show their faces to the rest of the world and had invited everyone from the business community in the North as well, otherwise they had never bothered about them anyway.And this was his cue to make the most of this opportunity; by not just showing up to the party, but also by acting like the most deserving candidate and dazzling them with his
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch-15 : The rule
"Did we hear that correctly? You already have a wife! You got married? To whom? When?!"Romera read out the list of questions that was not only running through everyone's minds but was also visible in their eyes- even though nobody else had found the words to express that yet. "Umm…" Mark was unable to say a single word apart from this.He might have announced this giant news and revealed his hidden marriage, but he himself was not sure about how his family was going to react to this news.In the beginning, he had to hide this news from everyone else, since he had his doubts and he wanted to confirm everything before taking any further steps.And right now, he was still keeping it under wraps because he still had a few things that were essential to him to know.But after hearing from Alex that his family had already undertaken a mission of bride- hunting, he knew he couldn't keep this hidden any longer.And while he was contemplating his rash decision of revealing everything without
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 16 : Memories
The past and the memories of said past, is something that we can never change, nor do we have the power to erase them.They just become an inseparable part of our lives, and we have to live with that fact that we can't alter that reality of ours.The same lines could be said, regarding the story of Marcus Rover! The second son of the Rover family had always been a fun- loving and sporty boy, who was free from every tension in his life thanks to the way everyone in his family doted on him from his very first breath. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and gold bowl in his hand, the infant Marcus was swung in the diamond crested cradle.He was good at every activity he picked up, even at random- and besides hailing from a background that set him apart from ninety- nine percent of the people around him. And because he was one of those people who required the bare minimum effort to excel at everything, Marcus Rover was the object of everyone's envy in Lancaster, where he had grown up
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 17 : Shatter
It was the third day of his trip to Switzerland when Marcus was woken up in the middle of the night by his phone ringing incessantly.He answered the call groggily, but he snapped into consciousness instantly when he received the devastating news: his brother, Matteo Rover, had been involved in an accident that had claimed his life. He returned to Lancaster as quickly as possible, only to find that everyone from his family was already in mourning… After his flight landed and he sat inside the car that had been sent for him at the airport, rain started pouring relentlessly over the quaint English countryside, a reflection of the heavy sorrow that hung in the air. Marcus sat, seemingly looking out of the window without his eyes registering any of the beautiful scenery; each minute passed like an eternity, as he replayed memories of his elder brother in his mind: shared laughter, whispered secrets, and lifelong dreams.As the car took a final turn, the Rover family estate finally came
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 18: Penny
Unable to believe his ears, Marcus acted on impulse and stepped into the room before he could think about the consequences of barging into a conversation that seemed to be highly confidential.As soon as he sensed a movement near the door, Maxwell's eyes snapped up at his face,"Marcus…?""Grandpa, what-"Before he could say anything, Maxwell Rover turned to the man in front of him."I think you should leave now, and please keep my words in mind."With a silent nod, the man in the black trench coat got up and collected the files he had brought along. Packing up everything in his briefcase, he stood up.As he went past Marcus, the man's gaze shifted to the side and he quickened his pace.This was enough to prompt Marcus;"Grandpa, are you serious?You know that Matt's accident wasn't an accident at all, and yet, you were going to keep this news, not only from the world, but from his own family?!Why! Do we not deserve to know the truth?"Marcus' anger had finally erupted, and he no lon
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -19 : New life
Marcus didn't have a single doubt in his mind: his brother would have given his life for his sake without even thinking once, so how could he let any material possessions come in the way of justice? Ironically, the very person who had taught them the importance of depending on each other, was the one presenting him with this ultimatum and trying to coerce him into submission.He immediately spoke up;"Okay, all your conditions are fine with me. I accept your challenge, and I won't lay a finger on the family's wealth or step foot into the family's property until I get to the root of this!"Saying this, Mark had slammed his black card on the table and stormed off without saying or hearing anything else. ________Since then, he had set up a lifestyle for himself that was completely different from the way he had lived for the first twenty years of his life.During the first tumultuous year, Marcus found himself thrust into a life of isolation and determination. The argument with his gra
