Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 52: A Thing in the Past
Joel stared upright on the bed, his eyes fixed on Albert who stood by the window, looking grim. He could stop Anna when she walked out of the room in anger. He has no right to call her back and question her decision because he knew very well that he deserved her anger. There was still much tension in the air. Joel didn't know iw here to begin from but he was grateful to Anna that he's alive. "I still can't believe it's Emma who poisoned you."Albert said, when he turned around to face Joel. "She was playing me," Joel answered. "I wouldn't have believed myself if she wasn't there to say it herself.""This man who cliaked to be your half-brother, did he tell you why he wanted you dead?" Albert asked. "It's obvious. To exert revenge for what the Winston family did to him and his mother. He mentioned killing my grandfather because he never wanted to accept his as family." "So he waged war against you after he killed your grandfather. If this is true, then this stranger would be the o

"Where are you going?" Albert quickly asked. Joel pushed Albert out of his way. "Don't stop me. I need to know what's going on here." "Don't you think you should rest? When she comes here, you can ask her why no one spoke up about you not being dead."Joel's mind raced with so many questions as he stepped out of the room, ignoring Albert. He was determined to find Anna and demand answers. Why hasn't she spoken up that he was alive? Albert followed closely behind him in case Joel were to slump because he still looked very weak. Albert offered to help Joel to where he would find Anna since he wasn't familiar with the areas in the house. Albert led them into a private quarters. Joel's heart raced when Albert pushed the door open. He was still embarrassed with the way he had treated Anna. Inside he met Anna seated peacefully, feeding the newborn child while an elderly man sat behind a desk, watching him with a piercing gaze. Joel walked further into the room until he was standing next

Anna rushed into the living room as though she was being pursued by something. Joel thought she made such a dramatic entrance because Carson was crying. "Do you have to run in here like that? You startled me." Joel whispered, handing over Carson to Anna. "I think he's hungry." "Shhh…Baby. I'm here." She rocked the baby in her hands, then looked up at Joel. "I didn't rush in here just because the baby was crying. It's a coincidence that I just saw something on the news in the common room before coming here." "News? What did you see?" Joel asked, concern etched over his face. "I think you should tune in," she answered, her voice urgent. "It's something you need to see for yourself." Joel's curiosity heightened as he tuned into the channel Anna had suggested. What they saw and heard shook them to the very core. The name of the person speaking on the television was boldly written as 'Liam Brown Winston.' He was making a broadcast on television, he was using a handkerchief to wipe hi
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 1: Fraudster (I)
Joel Brown Winston yawned, extending his arms until he was well set. He had been working at night and so could not go back home to his wife and daughter. He just had to call her to inform her that he could not come back home the previous day. Frank Simsero, his senior at work, had assigned him some work to do and he was to present it to him and the CEO this morning. That's the reason he had to work all through the night. He was about to fold his sleeves, when he realized that a crucial paper was not on his desk as it should. It was a financial report he was going to also present to the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Jimmy Hendrik. Joel was carried away searching for the documents when two police officers walked into the office. He didn't know they were coming to him. “Are you Joel Brown?” One of the police officers questioned. Joel glanced up from the work desk that he was using. Everyone at the office looked at him, wondering why two policemen were here at this early
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 2: Fraudster (II)
When Joel was lying in a cold room of the police station with severe injuries, Officer Michaels just enjoyed his sadism. He strolled around Joel, and his tone was sarcastic, full of hatred. “Well, well, well, Joel Winston,” Michaels mocked and his voice was filled with hatred. “Well, I got a rather amusing message today, you know, there is a party tonight and your wife would be main attraction there for all rich men.” Joel was fuming with anger as Officer Michaels went on to disrespect and humiliate Anna, his wife. Every word that Michaels said was a dagger piercing Joel’s heart, each insult building up the rage within him until it was hot and blazing. ”You don’t even mention her name in that disgusting mouth of yours!” Joel shouted, his throat was sore and his eyes welled up with anger. “If anything happens to her because of youᅳ” Joel's anger boiled over. “You bastard!” he said in a voice that was rough with anger. “If you or anyone else touches my wife, yo
Winston Empire: Battle Between Heirs Chapter 3: Fraudster (III)
Officer Miachel raised up his hand just when the cops were about to push Joel. " If any of you try to lay your stinky hands on him, I will make sure my angel will have that hand as her lunch!" The chief officer and a familiar man walked in. Joel recognises this man as David Campell. He was a butler of the Winston family. "How dare you arrest him?" The chief barked at the policeman.. Joel on the other hand was surprised to see David Campbell here. He wasn't close to the man and has never really spoken much with him at work. So he was surprised that David knew who he was. “I am sorry, young master for arriving late.” He bowed his head and apologized to him."You would never lay your hands on anyone again after this” He punched the policeman, and that made him fall on the ground with a thud."How dare you lay your filthy hands on him? Don't you know who he is?"." David turned his face to the policeman and threatened him.. The policeman looked confused. The chief officer decided to

The police officer shrieked in his defense. "No. I swear I didn't. Your wife's step brother Harper is part of the plan too. He's the one taking her to him. " Joel fell back in the chair, his head in his hands. He was shocked that this was happening to him. He got up and tossed the chair to the wall in anger. His wife would be raped by Frank if he doesn't save her on time. To add to his worries, his daughter, Mimi, is sick. She has a heart disease and her surgery is in a month's time. He was still saving up for the surgery. He didn't want anything happening to her either. "And where the fuck is my daughter?" Joel yelled at the policeman. "I have no idea. Harper should know?" Joel felt defeated. He couldn't believe his brother-in-law would connive with his enemies to put him behind bars and take his wife away. "You don't have to worry. We would find their location," David Campbell said. He wanted Joel to remain calm. "I'll advise you to call your grandfather. He has been wanting

"Not after I paid Harper two hundred thousand dollars to bring you to me. If I let you go, that would be a loss for me," Frank said and his friends laughed. "Having you to myself is compensation for the part I played in sending your husband to jail. Get up and put up a dance show for us…start by rocking those wide hips of yours." Anna was reluctant. This made Frank furious. He walked up to her and slapped her face, then yanked her hair to get her standing on her feet. "Do it now." He ordered. Anna was still persistent. Frank decided to play her by bringing her daughter into the picture. He was going to force her to do what he says. "If you really want to save your daughter, you will have to please me and my friends tonight. You will dance and later we will all have fun with you right here on this couch."Four bundles of hundred dollar bills were laid on the table by Frank. This was to compel her. Frank pointed at the money. "That's more than enough money for your daughter's su

Chapter 51: Taking in the Present
Joel's eyes fluttered open, his mind foggy and confused. He looked around the unfamiliar room until he was staring at a stranger. A nurse. Where was he? He tried to remember. Was he not supposed to be dead? He was sure he had breathed his last so how was he here?"Where…where am I? Joel asked, his throat parched. "The nurse smiled kindly. "You're safe Mr Winston. I'll get the lady of the house." Joel looked more confused. What lady of the house? And the nurse didn't even answer his question about where he was. Moments later she returned with Anna, who was excited. Joel couldn't believe who he had laid eyes upon. His eyes widened in shock as Anna rushed to his side, embracing him tightly. "I'm glad you're awake. It was taking forever," she exclaimed. Joel was silent for a while still trying to make out what was happening. How did Anna end up here? He tried to speak but his voice wasn't audible enough. "Anna…how? Where am I?" he stammered. "You're in my uncle's house. It's

Chapter 50: His Shields
Anna looked at her reflection in the mirror. The last twenty-four hours were one of the toughest for Anna in the last few months since she found herself in a hospital. Her uncle had held onto her hand and told her to fight and stay alive. She listened to him but regretted later when she heard that her daughter Mimi was found dead on the accident site. She splashed water onto her pale face. Losing Mimi was something she wasn't prepared for. Joel would have almost died if she hadn't gotten to his room when she did. She exhaled deeply, splashing more water on her face. She reminded herself that she was supposed to hate Joel for how he had treated her. He had accused her of killing his grandfather and didn't even wait to hear any explanation she had when he found out her real identity. "That's all in the past now." She whispered to herself, staring intensely at her reflection in the mirror. She pulled her phone from her pocket. She had to put a call through to her uncle. He was the on

Chapter 49: Keep It a Secret
The doctor filled Anna in on how they think her husband, Joel, was poisoned. They had to commence with more important processes to stabilize him properly after a gastric lavage was performed on him. At the receptionist desk, Anna was about to sign the papers when the news came on with Joel's face on the screen. Joel's situation was already public knowledge. She wondered how the media got to know so fast and she was shown Jeol wasn't the kind of man throwing his title or influence around. So it had to be someone else's doing that the news was being reported. The headline read: "Businessman Joel Brown Winston Found Unconscious (Possibly Dead) in a Mexican Five Star Hotel." Anna's hands trembled. She didn't like that the news about her husband was already spreading fast. She knew she had to act fast. After signing the necessary document, Anna quickly made her way to meet the doctor in charge of Joel's case. Her heart was pounding in her chest. "Doctor, I'm sorry. I can see you ar

Chapter 48: Dead or Alive
An elegant lady dressed in a beautiful white dress stared across the waiting room, turning her head from left to right. It was obvious she was waiting for someone. There was no sign of that person passing by. Moments later, her eyes were fixed on the elevator. She didn't want to lose this person in case he passed by. After waiting for a long time, her patience was beginning to wear out. She was here to see Joel Winston Brown. She had planned on seeing him and surprising him but unfortunately her plan was disrupted by the appearance if a strange lady. She had to come back down to wait when she saw the lady walk into Joel's room. She was almost lost in thought when she saw the lady who had walked into Joel's room earlier emerge, arm in arm with another man. Her eyes widened in confusion. She was certain this lady had gone into Joel's room. She's known about his arrival in Mexico and every other detail about him wasn't a secret to her. She wasn't comfortable with what she had seen

Chapter 47: The Man Behind the Mask
Joel's breathing became more shallow as he struggled in pain. The footsteps got closer. The stranger stopped in front of Joel's struggling form and gazed down at him with contempt. Seeing the only Winston Heir lying helplessly on the floor made him drip with excitement. He turned to Emma. "Well done, you've done an amazing job. Who would have thought the grandson to the almighty Carl Brown Winston will be easily eliminated." Emma muttered with so much pride. "Thank you, Liam. Even though you doubted me. I told you I could do it." Liam's gaze shifted back to Joel, who was writhing in pain. Joel was trying to say something but he was barely audible. "What are you trying to say?" Liam squatted and lowered his head close to Joel's mouth. "Who…are…you?" Joel breathed with difficulty. "Oh!" Liam laughed. "I was going to tell you even if you don't ask. But I can see why it's rude to keep a dying man waiting" Liam looked so excited to introduce himself, it was as if he had

Chapter 46: Spy
Joel's impatience grew as he waited for Emma to begin speaking. He was eager for her to leave, so the faster she begins telling him what she's here for, the faster he'll get rid of her. Emma claimed she's connected and knows people at high places but he couldn't accept that as the whole truth. She located him so easily. Her ability to find him here only added to his distrust, especially considering the lies she had already told him. "I'm waiting, spit it out. You know I don't have all day." Joel said, his tone firm as he stated at her. "What do you know about my grandfather's death?" Emma's smile seemed forced as she finished texting someone on her phone. "Just a minute. I promise to tell you everything." She placed her phone on the table and her hand knocked over her glass of wine, spilling it all over the table and rug. She gasped, pretending it was an accident. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I've been clumsy lately." Joel raised an eyebrow, he's been watching her closely and he
