Chapter: 153 — THE ENDSIX MONTHS LATER:“Do you, Alexander Stephan, take Camilla to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health until death do you part?”Alex’s heart was filled with happiness as he replied confidently;“Yes, I do.”The priest turned to Camila and asked her the same question. She nodded eagerly as she responded;“Yes. Yes, I do.”“I now declare you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.”Camilla was glowing with happiness as Alex wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her in for a soft, slow kiss while the audience cheered them on.When he finally drew backwards, he placed his forehead against hers and whispered;“I’m so happy that I finally get to marry the love of my life.”She nodded, her eyes brimming with happy tears. “Let’s be together forever.”“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stephan!!” The priest announced.The screams and cheers got louder as the priest raised both their hands to the crowd.

Chapter: 152 — FINALLY BUSTEDThe moment Blakely left the conference centre, Camilla watched in confusion as Alex started making a series of calls.“Yes, she just left. Get the security detail ready. I hope our bodyguards at the mansion are already on stand-by. Get someone to follow her. We’ll give her thirty minutes max before the operation begins…”When he finally ended all his calls and turned to her, Camilla was way beyond confused. “What’s going on, Alex? You sound like you’re preparing for war.”“More like preparing to catch a snake.” He replied as he lifted her hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles.Camilla frowned. “Snake? What snake?”Alex smiled. “Listen carefully. It’s about Blakely…”***Exactly thirty minutes later, Alex received a call from Peter, his chief-of-security.“Sir, they’re about to resume their operations. Should we strike?”“No. Wait for me. I’ll be there in five minutes.”“Akex, let me come with you.” Camilla begged for the umpteenth time. Alex leaned forward and pressed a kiss aga

Chapter: 151 — WONDERFUL REUNIONONE YEAR LATER…So far, Alex had completely frustrated every single one of Blakely’s plan to get him to sign any documents. He read every single document that was brought to him thoroughly before he signed them. He’d also tripled and quadrupled his security, equipping them with modern weapons to enable them to face any kind of threats.There was simply zero space for Blakely and her boyfriend to carry out their devious plans and today, he was finally ready to expose her for who she really was. Alex had left unfinished business in New York when he travelled to Spain and today was the day he finally wrapped it all up. Today the competition between Hunters Technology and Alexander Group was finally coming to an end. Exactly eight months ago, Romanov, one of the members of the Las Vegas Conglomerate had brought a competition to his doorstep. Several companies in New York City were to compete against the Xanders Group of Companies, now known as the Alexander Group of companies. The

Chapter: 150 — THE ULTIMATE PLANAfter making sure that the Guerreros’ vacated all the properties that belonged to him, it was finally time for Alex to depart for Spain.Camila still refused to see him and despite his insistence, she claimed that she never wanted to see him again. Despite the fact that he’d achieved his goals, his shoulders hung with disappointment and his eyes were downcast as he boarded the private jet that would take him to New York… away from Camila.Ten minutes later, while he was waiting for take off, his phone rang. A quick glance at the caller ID revealed that it was Tony. His detective. “Hello, Tony.”“Hello, sir. I hear you’ll be returning today.”Alex frowned. Only few people knew that information because he wanted to keep his return as under the radar as possible. Few people being him and Tariq.“How did you know that?”“I’m a private Investigstor, sir. How else would I know?”“Have you been watching me?”“For your own safety, yes.”Alex sat up immediately. His interest was piqued.“Wha

Chapter: 149 — PAINFUL SEPARATION Tariq’s words settled around the room like dust on a dark, gloomy night.No one said anything for the next few seconds. The room was as quiet as a graveyard… until Mendez broke the silence.“What’s your evidence that you’re really Alexander’s son? You could just be a scam trying to get money from us.”Tariq tried to argue but Alex hurriedly cut in;“There’s no need to enagage them in a fruitless argument when we can just show them prove.”He lifted a finger and one of his guards, Peter, came forward with a briefcase. He retrieved a few papers from the briefcase and handed them to Alex who in turn gave the papers to Mendez.“In case you’re wondering, that’s the DNA test result. It was conducted by Alexander himself before he passed as evidence that I’m really his biological grandson. If you check the date, that test was conducted almost twenty four years ago. Do you believe me now?”Mendez ran his eyes through the papers, his heartbeat tripling with shock. “It can’t be. It can’t fuck

Chapter: 148 — RETURN OF THE CHEATED HEIRSuddenly, the television which hung in the conference room came on, displaying footage from the CCTV cameras outside. Everyone turned in its direction and watched in surprise as several tinted, bullet proof cars drove into the premises.“Mr. Alvaro, those cars do not belong to you, do they?”Hugo shook his head. “They don’t. All the cars we came with are already safely parked in the garage. I don’t know who these people are.”Mendez swung into action immediately. He picked up his phone and called the security personnel downstairs.“Seal the building. Nobody comes in and no one goes out. It appears that we have a new set of visitors and I have no idea who they are.”When he was done with the phone call, Mendez put down his phone and forced a smile.“I’m sure everything is perfectly fine. Maybe they missed their way.” He turned to Camila.“Weren’t you about to sign the documents? What are you waiting for?”Camila picked up the pen but once again, they were interrupted by the sounds of

Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir
The entire Carmichael family looked on in curiosity as the convoy of Fords rolled into the mansion's grounds. It looked like a King was making his entrance.
The cars came to a stop and a driver ran over to pull the passenger door open.
Luke stepped down from the car and shocked silence swept through the Humsworth family.
He looked at them, a smug smirk curving his lips.
"L-luke?" His wife, Fiona, stuttered.
"In the flesh. Hello, in-laws, your wretched son-in-law is finally home…"

Chapter: 182 – THE ENDOne year later“…to end this broadcast, here’s a recap of the major stories.Former Mrs. Fiona George, ex wife to one of London’s most successful trillionaire businessman, Luke George, along with her mother, Mrs. Carmichael and ex-boyfriend, David Humsworth have all been sentenced to different years in prison. After a long year of legal battles, the court finally announced their sentence today, bringing months of crime and criminal conspiracy to an end…”A sense of satisfaction settled over Luke’s heart as he watched clips of Fiona, her mother and David being led into a police van, already handcuffed. Fiona was screaming and crying while David and Mrs. Carmichael lowered their heads to avoid being captured by the cameras.Beside Luke, Nina, his five months pregnant wife, snuggled deeper against his side, placing her small hands atop his chest.“It’s finally over.” She whispered, her gentle voice already soothing his soul. “It’s really over. Are you happy now?”Luke twisted to the si

Chapter: 181 — THE TRUTH. THE SHOCKING TRUTHFor five long seconds, a thick blanket of silence reigned in the room. Lord George stared at Nina in shock, obviously unable to believe his ears. Lucas’ expression was filled with awe while Fiona and her mother looked like they’d just been forced to swallow a bowl full of fart.“Luke, she’s lying. This bitch is lying to you. I didn’t bribe the doctor. How could I do that when I didn’t even know the hospital until you took me there? How can I betray you like that?” She sniffed and hiccuped, looking every bit the victim.Mrs. Carmichael was enraged.“All you’ve done for the past few minutes is go around yapping that little mouth of yours and spewing lies.” She spat at Nina. “Where’s your evidence, huh? You’re claiming that my daughter bribed the doctor. Where’s your goddamn evidence, you shameless homewrecker?!”“If you’re looking for evidence, don’t ask her. Ask me.”Everyone turned towards the door, searching for the owner of the new voice.Mrs Carmichael’s face dampened with fear an

Get out of my way.” She snapped angrily.“And what the hell do you think you’re doing?” Nina countered, folding her arms.Fiona raised her chin.“I was just about to introduce Luke to his son and heir before you rudely interrupted. As you know, my Cameron is a bonafide member of this family. You’re not. Therefore you have no right to be here. Why don’t you just give up on your plans to destroy my marriage, Nina? Can’t you see that you’re already failing?”Nina smirked.“Since we’re all here and you seem to have so much to say today, Fiona, why don’t we play a little game?”Luke stared at the back of Nina’s head with confusion. What was she doing?“In addition to being blind, ar

Chapter: 179 — AFTER COMASIX MONTHS LATERPain. He was in so much pain.His arms, legs and back throbbed and burned. His head felt like a wailing banshee had taken up residence. He tried to open his eyes but his eyelids seemed to be glued shut.“His vitals seem okay but he’s no longer responding to treatment. I’m afraid his coma might become worse. His injuries are nothing like we’ve ever seen before.”He heard noises above him and tried to alert whoever it was to the fact that he was actually awake. He tried to blink or even move his finger, but his body refused to listen to his brain as usual.“I’m sorry but you and your family will have to consider taking him off life support. I don’t mean to be pessimistic but it doesn’t look like he’ll get any better than this.”His heart tightened with panic as he listened to the doctor go on and on about how he’ll never recover. Someone was crying in the room. He could hear the whimpers. Her whimpers.He struggled to stay awake for a moment longer but his brain was spi

Chapter: 178 – THE FUNERALTHREE MONTHS LATERThe day was dark and gloomy. Rydling soldiers and Elders gathered around the glass casket, their faces pinched in tight frowns.“We’re gathered today to celebrate the one person who sacrificed his life to save all of us. We’re here to witness the end of the reign of our chosen one.” Elder Tomako said quietly.“We watched him fight a good fight. Now, it’s time to bid him farewell. We tried our possible best to bring him back, but I believe this is really the end of the road for our hero. Lower the casket.”The casket was lowered by four heavily built soldiers into the already dug earth. The moment it touched the ground, the death bells started ringing.The forlorn sounds of the bell were followed by flashes of lightning and the deep, rumbling sounds of thunder. That was the king of the Rydlings himself, saying goodbye to his chosen one. The Chosen One had fought a good fight. Now, it was time for him to rest eternally.

Chapter: 177 — THE DAY HE DIED. THE END OF THE WAR. THE END OF HIS REIGN***Have you ever gotten the feeling that you’re about to die and no one can save you even if they tried?Have you ever looked death straight in the eyes?That was all that went through Luke’s mind as he stared at the red eyes of the demon-beast before him. His knees and heart quaked with fear and blood whooshed loudly in his ears.Luke knew he was powerless without his amulet. Even if he’d trained for physical combat, those skills wouldn’t be of any significant help against Malcolm.Malcolm took a step forward and Luke gulped in deeply.“I heard Rydling had chosen a weakling to save his people.” He growled, his voice dripping with disgust. “I thought my people were bluffing. But looking at you, I guess they weren’t.Which makes me wonder why my own brother would, out of the millions of experienced and well-trained soldiers at his disposal, choose a good-for-nothing scaredy-cat to lead a war against me.” Malcolm burst into loud, booming laughter. “I mean, what w

Chapter: 18 || VICIOUS ATTACKS!Asher’s veins burned with panic. He would normally respond with calmness and composure in situations like this, but this time, it was different.This time, someone he cared deeply about was also in danger. Without wasting time, Asher shielded Victoria with his body and dove under the bed.The very next second, the once polished façade of their room suddenly exploded in a hailstorm of gunfire. The floor to ceiling windows shattered under the force of the bullets, raining on the marble floors like dangerous confetti. The sniper kept shooting, splintering wood, piercing pillows and shattering figurines. The atmosphere sounded like a freaking war zone.“What the heck is going on?” Asher muttered through clenched teeth.He’d made sure to cover his tracks before coming to the hotel. This attack could only mean one thing — he’d been followed.Asher’s heart thundered like a runaway train as he pressed Victoria against his chest, looking for the perfect opportunity to escape.Mentally, he

Chapter: 17 || DRUNKEN CONFESSIONS…Asher was in a meeting with some of his men when his phone suddenly buzzed with an incoming call.The slow ticking clock positioned high up on the wall read 2:30 AM. His eyes narrowed in annoyance as he wondered who could be calling at that ungodly hour.His mood visibly brightened when he saw the name flashing across the screen.Victoria Stone.He glanced at the men who were eagerly waiting for him;“Give me a second, gentleman.”Then he strolled outside to answer the call.“Victoria?”“Hey, Asherrrr…” Frowning, Asher pulled the phone from his ear to confirm the caller once again. It was definitely Victoria.Was she… drunk?“Asherrrr, c-can you hear m-me?”“Where are you, Victoria?” He asked calmly.“The Sheraton hotel.” She burped. “Please come to me. I have something very important to tell you.”Asher did not even hesitate.“I’ll be there in five. What's your room number?”“Room 302.

Chapter: 16 || ANOTHER IDENTITY…Sebastian watched his daughter go with a heavy sigh.He turned to the General and patted him on the shoulder;“I sincerely apologize for Victoria’s behaviour. We both know she isn’t usually like this. I have no idea what has come over her. Don’t take it personally. She’s probably angry with someone else and taking it out on us.”The general nodded but otherwise remained silent.He knew all too well the reason for Victoria’s anger but didn’t dare say it out loud. “You spoke about an impending war,” Mr. Stone cut in; “is your intel reliable? Should we start making preparations to engage in battle?”General Zarek opened his mouth to speak but hesitated when he noticed that Asher was still standing with them. His eyes narrowed cautiously and he remained silent. Sensing the tension, Asher politely excused himself.“Mr. Stone, Mr. Sebastian, I’ll be on my way now. Thank you for having me.”They thanked him for his gift and bade him goodbye.Asher was well aware that General Zarek had wan

She could not believe the abominable words her daughter had just uttered. Surely, this was just comic relief. She could not be serious about marrying below their class.“Victoria, my child, please tell me you just said those horrible things to get back at me for suggesting the wedding. You’re not serious about being in love with Asher, are you? I’m sure you're joking. Please tell me this is all just a stupid joke.”Victoria stood her ground, her beautiful eyes burning with fury. When she spoke, her voice was sturdy and graceful as it pierced the air;“I am never one to play around, mother, and you know that.”A tense pause followed;“I love Asher… and w

Chapter: 14 || GENERAL ZAREK.General Zarek’s arrival was treated like the arrival of a highly respected king. He was accompanied by six aides, all dressed in crisp black suits and armed to the teeth.Tomb-like silence descended on the hall as he walked through the double doors. He was a handsome middle-aged man, standing over six feet tall. His bronze hair shimmered like stardust beneath the lights. His green eyes were sharp and alert, typical for a soldier of his caliber.Asher had long heard about General Zarek and his great accomplishments in battle. He was a five-star general, guarding the border with several victories under his belt. It was uncommon for General Zarek to make appearances at parties such as this one. Asher wondered about his connection to the Stone family.“General Zarek, what a wonderful surprise! Welcome, welcome.” Mr. Stone greeted him specially.“Thank you. Happy birthday, my dear friend. I wish you many years of happiness.”He snapped his fingers and one of his aides immediately steppe

All eyes were glued to Mr. Stone, wide with awe as they witnessed his supernatural healing in real time.All the mouths that mocked Asher were now shut in shame. Ace’s fingers folded into fists, his heart burning with anger and jealousy. Mr. Stone, on the other hand, was filled with joy. His eyes shone with gratitude as he turned to Asher;“Is this really the Nine Heavens Elixir?”“Yes, sir.” Asher replied confidently. “The elixir is made with rare ingredients sourced from the land, air and sea. I spiced it up with some rare herbs from the sacred Seatu Mountains. These herbs, mixed with other special ingredients, can even extend one’s lifespan by half.”Mr. Stone rose to his feet for the first time and took Asher’s hand.“Thank you so much for this. I am eternally grateful.”Asher nodded, touched by the old man’s humility.“You don't have to thank me, sir. The pleasure is all mine.”Mr. Stone shook his head adamantly.“I’m afraid you do
