"THE FAKE PATRIARCH OF THE RICE FAMILY HAS BEEN ARRESTED UNDER THE COUNTS OF IMPERSONATION AND MURDER OF HIS SON AND GERALD RICE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED HE WAS ONCE A MAFIA OPERATOR AND COMPLETELY CHANGED HIS IDENTITY TO FIT INTO THE HIGH SOCIETY."Chris walked out of the meeting room, where he had met the dumbfounded shareholders who had no objection to his unprecedented ownership of the Rice empire.Robin Smith’s arrest had come as a shock and now, they were planning to hold a memorial in Gerald Rice's memory.By Chris’ side, Baron wheeled himself, half heartedly as he couldn't get over the silent grief of losing his father. They couldn't even get his body back."Everything worked out well, didn't it?" Chris stopped, turning to face Baron. "Though your brother has been released, you will still take over the operations of the Rice empire.""You are the chairman now." Though Baron's heart rejoiced at that news as Chris was willing to give him a chance to shine, he still couldn't smile

Two hours had passed and Baron sat in his wheelchair, staring at his phone for any sort of update from Chris. Though it was late into the night, his eyes wouldn't close. He was the last of three sons in the Rice family, yet, he felt like he was an outsider.What if something had happened and he knew nothing about it, and yet, Chris knew?He couldn't sit still and as he picked up his phone to call Chris, his wife came rushing in, putting her phone in his face."Have you seen this? What the fuck is wrong with that old man? Has he gone senile?"Baron held the phone, his fingers quivering slightly. His father, Gerald Rice stood before the reporters, his face half covered with a mask but they could all see the slight shake in his body. The way his eyes avoided the cameras, made him look like a country bumpkin.In that moment, Baron's eyes dimmed even more, as he finally realized that it was odd. He had used Gerald's camera fear to make himself look good earlier but now that he wasn't in th

Gerald paced up and down, in the living area as he had been sent back home after Chris had thrown him out of the office building.He wasn't even allowed entry! How dare he!“I am going to crush that bastard.” He declared, his chest heaving. However, he couldn't dispel the fear in his mind. The chills that ran down his spine told him something was really wrong. Chris had addressed him with that name he detested. He couldn't sit still. He had to know what that boy was hiding and had to get to the root of the situation. “Someone get Baron here! Right this instant!”He yelled at the few attendants Baron had provided and they dared not ignore his words. As his rotten face scrunched and twitched, he looked like a monster they couldn't provoke. An hour later…Baron wheeled himself into the house, stopping before Gerald. “You called, Father.” He said, his voice calm. Too calm for Gerald’s liking. “Is there anything wrong?”“What?” The old man gasped. “I was sent out of the meeting room

All shareholders stood up in shock as soon as Chris appeared in the doorway, flanked by Rico Axe and Butler Rico. Gerald sat at the head of the table, his hands shaking and teeth gnashing against the other when he watched Chris come in like he owned the place. Even Baron was amazed and he quickly wheeled himself toward Chris. His chest tightened, knowing what he had done wrong, after all, Chris had told him to lie low and wait. However, he was too impatient, too greedy to wait. He wanted the Rice empire for himself and Chris was taking too long.“Mr. Westminster…” Baron said, hurriedly approaching. However, Chris didn't take a single glance at him as he walked further into the meeting room, approaching Gerald who was his target. But then, Baron was slowly descending into fear knowing he had made a fatal mistake. He thought things would go smoothly before Chris would be able to get to him. After all, Chris couldn't interfere in the company's issues, right? As Chris stood before o

Gerald had long left the hospital, however, his face had deteriorated and he had also refused treatment from the hospital. He refused to let any doctor touch his face apart from Doctor Blackman. However, no matter how he reached out to the doctor, he never got a reply. Now, he was staying at the secluded house Baron had grudgingly provided for him with an attendant by his side. “What is he saying? Did you tell him I agreed to the surgery he proposed before now?” He asked desperately. “I am sorry,” The attendant apologized with pity in her eyes. “He has warned me to stop contacting him otherwise he is going to involve the police.”“Ohh…” Gerald let out, his finger nicking his flesh as he was slowly immersed in worry. The doctors had said he had a tendency to have a stroke now due to the way his health had deteriorated. But then, he wasn't ready to give up. He was going to find adequate help by all means. “Contact Baron.” He ordered the attendant. At this point, he had no choice b

Five days later…“Have you heard?” A police officer rushed to the detective in charge of Chris’s case with a bewildered look.“What is it?” The detective asked, his gaze displeased. He had a lot on his mind, he was trying to connect the Westminster family to the bomblast but there were no leads. He also has not been able to contact Chase about their ongoing deal. “Reid has been found.” The officer said and immediately the detective whipped his head in his direction. “What…what do you mean?” He asked shakily. “Oh, you don’t know?” The officer laughed scornfully. “I thought you were the detective in charge of the case.” Of course, he knew this beforehand but then they all knew how much the detective had been so hyper about the case.“What do you mean by that?” The detective snapped! “It’s my case and I know everything about it.” He lied through his teeth so he wouldn't be seen as a fool. He was the one in charge but how could he not know? “I guess you know then…” The officer chuckle

Chairman Black walked out of Robin's office leaving him perplexed and even more confused. As Robin sat behind his desk, he pulled out the box he had hidden away in the safe beside his desk. Jane had told him the contents could bring down the Davenson family and so many others. The Davenson family was down, who else would go down?He wondered if the reason why the old man saved him was connected to this box? At the time when he wanted to join the board, the old man had told him he would come to know why he was chosen and saved, but till this day, that secret seemed to elude him. As a knock resounded on the door, he pushed the box back into his safe, and Mason walked in with a smile on his face.“You seemed to have solved it.” He cheered, jumping around the office like a triumphant athlete, and didn't care if it was unlike his usual self. Robin nodded and then ordered, “Prepare everything that will be needed for the merger.”“We can’t let this fail.”“Do you want Christina on board

One week later…Robin walked into the long erected tower of Julls Corp while Christina and Mason flanked his side. So many reporters and news personnel had been waiting to catch his long-awaited entry. “Mr. Davenson, how do you feel about the Davenson family hitting rock bottom?”“Do you feel any remorse toward your family? What do you have to say about Ethan Davenson?”“We would like to know why you were labeled the bastard son?”However, even though he could hear all of those questions and had answers to every single one of them, he kept moving on into the building. “Mr. Robin, what do you have to say about your company reaching new heights in just a week?”“More than half of the country awaits what you are about to do.”He stopped, finally seeing an opportunity to speak. Slowly, he turned to the camera, smiling lightly. After resting for a week, he had become even more robust and agile.“Firstly, I am glad that a lot of people see potential in me and what my company has to offer.

“THE NEW MURDER SUSPECT WHO HAS NOW CONFIRMED THAT HE KILLED CORA ADAMS HAS BEEN ARRESTED. HE HAS ALSO CITED CLAIMS THAT JANE DAVENSON, HIS MOTHER THREATENED THE ADAMS FAMILY.”“THE RESPECTED DAVENSON FAMILY OF EASTBOURNE HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY RIDICULED WITH JANE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND AND DIEGO HIDING AWAY AT THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN.”Ethan was handcuffed right before everyone, while he was being escorted into the police station. Robin sat before the TV, eyes narrowed as he watched his final piece fall in place. Whether Ethan killed himself or not, he was already dead inside.“What about Jane?” He asked.“She was rushed to the hospital. Although, half of her body is burnt, she will be up from her coma soon.”“Good.” He nodded, as he stood up to his feet. “It’s time to go back home.”His company had been lacking but ever since the real murderer had been caught, his company ratings had shot up through the roof.Several investors who had pulled out were now calling him back to schedule me

“Drive faster!”Robin ordered seeing Jane’s car coming behind them so fast. His gaze was hardened as he had no room for mercy or pity in his heart. Mason didn’t hesitate to shoot the car farther into the night as he was a professional in car racing. However, Jane was finding it very hard to keep up. Her heart kept racing while Ethan kept calling her to know the update on what had happened.She picked up the phone and the minute she connected it, she yelled into the phone.“Why the hell are you calling me? Go to hell, you bastard! You caused this. You have only caused me pain!”The next second, she threw the phone straight to the backseat of the car while firing her car into the dark night. But they were approaching a sharp turn with no sight of what was coming. Mason was able to maneuver his way to the very edge of the road, while Jane stepped harder on the accelerator to get to him. But then, she heard a loud honk and her whole body froze when she saw a truck coming straight into

Cora and Robin walked toward the parking lot while he was deep in thought and trying not to show how anxious he was deep down. However, she pulled on his arm smiling shyly."Thank you, Robin." She said as her smile turned into a sweet one. She clutched her IV line in her other hand while her grip tightened around him."Without you, I wouldn't have been able to do this and now I am almost out of the fog. My surgery is scheduled for next week, and I will become a new person again."Cora had decided to completely change her appearance and everything about her to leave behind the life she had lived like a fool. However, she wasn't willing to change the one who supported her."How would you feel about my change?""You will be fine..." He smiled. "Just let me know if anything comes up."As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled away from her and walked straight to his car. Cora was immediately surrounded by guards and was being ushered back to her ward room, however, she couldn't help the

An hour later, the ambulance arrived and Dean clutched Maria’s almost lifeless body, desperately begging for her to be alright and stay with him. However, Robin stood behind them as he was still reeling in shock about what Jane had told him. He wanted to drill a bullet into her head, but then she had her mouth working for. The only weak spot he had, she exploited it.He watched Maria being wheeled to the hospital and Dean was asked to stay back because he was too unstable. As Dean marched toward him, he bowed, in a bid to apologize.“Why are you apologizing to me?” Dean cried.“I am sorry, I let Jane go,” Robin said, his voice a bit unsteady. “I will see to it that Maria gets treated and also cooperate with the police.”“I don’t care about that…” Dean waved his hand frantically. “Can we go see my wife, please?” “Please?”He was very unstable and couldn't drive. Robin was his last hope for help and soon, they got into Robin’s car and drove straight to the hospital.Maria had been w
