CHAPTER THIRTEEN Olsen took a deep breath, holding onto his smile. “Why, my dear? Why are you behaving this way toward me?” He took two steps forward, but that made Maria wince backward.“Don’t come close to me!” She whimpered, her breath shaky and seeming like she was getting exhausted. Riley turned to Olsen and glared at him. “You heard my sister! Leave this place!” He pointed, but Olsen insisted on walking up to them.“She is my girlfriend! I am meant to be here!” He insisted, taking another step.Riley was forced to get up from the bed, walking up to Olsen with fire in his eyes. “You don’t want to know what I am capable of doing, Mister! Just leave before I do something very bad to you!” Olsen looked at Riley with so much disdain in his eyes. “You are a nobody, Riley. I know everything about you. You live with your girlfriend’s family. You are a wretched fellow.” Riley growled, but that didn’t stop Olsen from holding onto his sneer. “You are a Leech, Riley. I know everything

CHAPTER FOURTEEN Riley scoffed. “There is nothing mysterious about what you have been told, Olsen. My girlfriend’s medical bills have been paid, and I am sure you know that she wasn’t kept in this type of special ward for free. I suggest you leave at once.” Olsen grunted at him, and then he turned to Judith with a wry smile. “I see that your brother now thinks that he is a man. He must have gotten someone to help him with the medical bills.” He paused for a while, still staring at her with a wry smile. “I will find you, my love. Don’t think that you can be able to run from me. I own this city, and I will find you even if you attempt to leave.” Olsen chuckled coyly at Judith, and then he turned to Riley. “Take care, debtor.” He taunted, and then he walked away stylishly. It had been a struggle for Riley to suppress his anger, and as soon as Olsen was gone, he turned to Rick, who looked away at once.“I don’t care if his father owns this hospital or if he is your major beneficiar

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Everyone turned to see who it was, and seeing the strange man clad in a navy suit, Riley became very annoyed. “Tell that bloody fool that I will make him pay for what he has done!” He walked up to the strange middle-aged man, ready to smash his balled fists to his face. The man was forced to take two steps backward, staring with wide and innocent eyes. “What are you talking about?” He asked, seeming very ignorant. Riley lowered his fist, staring into the man’s eyes. “Don’t you work for Olsen?” He asked, and the man shook his head. “I don’t think I know who that is.” He said, and Riley took a deep breath.The ladies stood by the corner of the room, staring at the stranger without saying even a word. “Who are you then?” Riley asked impatiently, eager to leave the hospital.The man took a deep breath. “My name is Caius Beatricen, Mr. Riley. I am here to discuss business with you.” Patricia gasped as soon as the middle-aged man mentioned his name. “You mean Caius

CHAPTER SIXTEEN “What’s the problem, Beatrice?” Riley asked calmly, but his voice was laced with so much tiredness. All he just wanted was to get home and have some rest, but it appeared that the new position he had just occupied was going to come with so many challenges, and not just the power and riches that came along with it. Beatrice had been silent for a very long time, but Riley was gradually losing his patience. “Talk to me, Beatrice. What happened?” “Someone hacked into one of our systems and broke into our firewall. Some of the confidential data we have are about to be leaked, and we don’t know how to handle this. None of the programmers we have been able to rectify the issue; they were only able to block the access, but that can only last for a while.”Riley sighed, but that didn’t seem like the kind of reaction Beatrice had expected to get from him. “Are you there, Mr. Riley?”“I am here, Beatrice.” Riley nodded with a frown, and then he took a deep breath. “I am on

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN “I am not sure if this is going to work.” Said one of the female programmers to her friend, but instead of getting a response, what she got from her friend was silence. The latter just stared at her for a while, then she returned her gaze to the screen everyone was looking at, anticipation running through her mind and transferring to her face. “It worked! The virus is gone!” Someone said from the back, but he didn’t need to.Everyone could see it right before their eyes from the moment the systems were done booting.“This is magical!” Someone else commented, turning to Riley with wide eyes.Their doubts had been cleared, and they were beginning to have more respect for the boss.Beatrice was very happy at that moment, and inching closer to Riley, she bowed in front of him, a gracious smile plastered all over her face.“Well done, Sir Riley!” Her words resonated high enough to draw the attention of some of the young programmers who were still trying to figure out h

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Riley scoffed, turning to look at the employees briefly.“You trust these people so much. I am sure you must have overpampered them that they feel so comfortable working the way they love.”Beatrice said nothing; instead, she cleared her throat as the guilt that surged from Riley’s remark crawled into her system.She knew that the boss was right, and she couldn’t even deny it.When she was able to turn to Riley and look at him, she cleared her throat again. “Harry could have done this, Sir Riley. I strongly believe that.”“But Harry is in jail,” Riley said, lifting an eyebrow. “I know.” Beatrice nodded, a nervous look all over her face. “It is possible that he must have gotten someone to carry out that plan for him. He knows this place thoroughly, and he is the one person capable of pulling this type of stunt.”Riley sighed, staring at Beatrice silently for a while.Then he took a deep breath, his eyes still fixed on her. “You sound very certain, and even if I str

CHAPTER NINETEEN “What is it, Sir Riley?” Jake raised an eyebrow, attempting to stretch his neck to see what the boss was talking about. Riley cleared his throat. “You don’t need to stress so much. I will show you.” He took a deep breath, turning the screen to Jake’s face.“I see here that you have another user hidden in this computer, Jake. How come you encrypted it?”Jake gasped, his eyes wide with surprise.It was impossible at that moment for him to get a grip on himself; his jaw dropped as though that was the way it had always been.“That user belongs to my Mother, Boss,” Jake said calmly, but his voice was almost inaudible, losing its grip.Riley scoffed. “That’s very surprising, Jake. Because from what I am looking at, your mother died three years ago. You kept memories of her in your user.” Jake swallowed hard, his heart almost about to fly from his chest. “I…” He swallowed hard, unable to find his words. Riley scoffed. “I am listening, Jake.” He looked him in the eyes,

CHAPTER TWENTY Seeing this, the guard standing next to Riley dived to the ground, placing his hand below the computer before it could hit the ground. He wasn’t fast enough. Parts of the laptop hit the hard floor, causing some major damage to affect it at once.Seeing this, Jake made a run to escape, but he had barely made it to the door when two guards double-crossed him, grabbed him, and pinned him to the ground. No matter how hard he tried to fight them, screaming, “Let me go!” They refused to free him, holding him down while he grunted and struggled futilely. Riley’s fury rose as he looked down at the laptop.The guard picked it up and brought it to him.He fumed, turning to Jake, who was still pinned to the ground, panting frantically. “This confirms what I said earlier,” Riley said, turning to Beatrice, who quickly looked away.He hoped that nothing had happened to the laptop, but he was very disappointed when he looked at the screen and found out that part of it had been b

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE Julian couldn’t believe his eyes, staring with wide eyes as his secrets glared back at him.He had been completely rendered speechless by what he saw, unable to find his words. Beatrice pushed closer to him, fuming with clenched fists. “The boss asked you a question, Julian!” She fired, her eyes burning with fury.“Do you care to explain why you did everything you have done?!” She was running out of patience, anger and regret burning through her chest.Jake swallowed hard, turning to Jake, who had already succumbed to his fate.“I didn’t ask him to do all of that, Miss Beatrice! He did them on his own! He said he needed them, and…!” He paused, taking a deep breath.He had been hooked, panting while he looked away from Jake, who refused to stay silent.“This was all your fault, Julian!” Jake didn’t care that he was on the floor.The only thing that mattered to him at that moment was all he wanted to say. “I just wanted to make a few dollars, Julian! But you forced

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO In order to satisfy her curiosity, she quickly walked up to Riley, her steps slow but firm. “Hello?” She touched Riley on the back, but he refused to turn around. “Excuse me.” She pressed further, her attention drawn to the side view of the familiar face.“Do I know you?” She asked, but Riley said nothing.So she decided to move to his front to figure out if she was right or wrong. The moment the gawking employees saw that she was walking to the boss, they all turned away, thinking that she must be someone of solid importance.They could only make suggestions on who she was.“Maybe she is the boss’s girlfriend.” One of the ladies at the reception said, stealing glances at the enchanting lady.“Or maybe she is his girlfriend.” Another suggested, causing her to turn.“I don’t think so. The boss would have reacted in a way that would suggest that.” They both returned their eyes to the strange lady, still making comments on who they thought she could be. Riley mo
