THE BILLIONIARE'S RISE TO STARDOM Chapter 163: Pulling The Trigger.
Josephine left her mouth hanging open in intense shock. She could swear that her blood pressure had skyrocketed to an alarming level in one split second. Her heart accelerated in panic as she stared at Betty whose hands were tightened around the gun in pure hatred."Wh- what are you doing with a…a gun, Betty? Drop that down…""Ugh?" Betty smiled in ignorance like she had lost her hearing."What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Lucian snapped. "You don't have to prove a point with a goddamn gun!""Oh, but I do!" Betty mocked, reaching out to wipe the swear that had assembled between her eyes– or was it tears? "You know I keep wondering why you had to do it. Why did you hide your real identity during our marriage while pretending to be a poor ass loser? Were you testing me?"Lucian chuckled dryly. "This is so like you to pass blame for your inadequacies. Should marriages only be built on material things and not love? This shows how greedy and insatiable you are. You failed,"He pau

A minute passed. Two minutes and Josephine forced her eyes open in terror, waiting for the pain of the gunshot to sink it. She waited, but when nothing happened, her heart hammered painfully in confusion.Another gunshot pierced through the air and Josephine sprang to her feet immediately to find Lucian standing in front of her with eyes filled with matching shock."Lucian…?!" She cried rushing towards him in panic, patting his body looking for a sign of injury. "Wh…where are you hurt, Lucian? Wh…ere? I can't lose you, Lucian, I can't! Please…no!!"Lucian grabbed her trembling hands at once and pulled her into his chest. She was shivering, shaking like a convulsing patient, and in dismay, her eyes traveled through the length of her body. "You aren't hurt anywhere, are you, J?"The tears traveled faster in Josephine's eyes as she buried herself deeper into his chest, grief washing all over her. "No…the bullet didn't hit me. If it's not me, then it's…it's you. Oh, please tell me this is

John tightened his hand around the edge of his office desk, trying so hard to suppress the horrifying snappings in his chest as he listened to Summer who was already sniffing back her tears."After she's discharged, she'll be charged to court immediately," Summer said bitterly. "My goodness!" John growled, his hand raking through his hair. "How could she even make such a big move without informing anyone?""I fucking don't know. That night she said she was going on a walk to clear her head. I had no idea she was planning to aim a fùcking gun on Lucian,""Then we have to do something immediately! If she's found guilty and sent to jail, it'd be very strenuous to get her out, especially not with Lucian's powerful influence," John said, tapping his mahogany desk meticulously in thought."What do you suggest we do? As I said, the police are at her hospital room door keeping guard. Once she's healthy enough, she'll be arrested,"John didn't say anything, instead he bit his fingernails nerv

John pulled the black cap down his face to further conceal his identity as he made his way towards Howards. He couldn't risk anyone recognizing him, especially as he had a big plan to execute.He massaged the fake beard around his chin to make sure they stayed in place as he maneuvered through the company."Hello, sir, can I know the name and the purpose for visiting?" Lucian's secretary said, almost blocking his path."Oh, I just wanted to make an inquiry," John forced a smile."On what, sir?""Is the president around? I'd like to relay the information myself,""Do you have an appointment?"John bit his lips. "No, but this is really urgent. Trust me, he'd snap at you once he finds out he missed this important information,"The secretary eyed him suspiciously before she picked up the telephone. When the call connected, she spoke in whispers so that John wouldn't be a part of the conversation."Go on, he'd like to meet with you. Take the elevator by your right," The woman urged with a

"What's going on here?" Lucian repeated when he didn't get a response from the people in the room.At the harsh, chilly tone, John pulled his cap further down his face, an act that did not go unnoticed by Lucian.John held his breath as his brain searched for an escape plan. He didn't dare move or even attempt to breathe because he was afraid Lucian might recognize the rise and fall of his chest. If that happened, it was game over. As if sensing his uneasiness, Lena smiled, switching to playing the perfect character. She walked up to Lucian and wrapped a hand around his shoulder. "Baby, I thought you went out for lunch? I was about to join you in the office later,"Lucian shook his head. "My schedule changed." He gestured towards John. "Who is he?""Him?" Lena released a careless chuckle. "I was just escorting him out. One of the cleaners who happened to missed his way,""Newly employed?""Yeah, got employed last week," Lena said."I thought the superiors regularly conduct a tour for

Betty exhaled sharply as she ignored the women. She wasn't going to indulge these bullies, and neither was she going to let her fear show because people like them feed on their victim's fear."Hey, hey, hey! Look what the cat dragged in," one of the women chuckled sarcastically. She was a heavily built woman with a long scar that covered the length of her neck. Her bright, red eyes were shining like a calculative predator sniffing out its prey."Hey darling, I heard you got life imprisonment huh?" The second woman sneered, sizing Betty despicably. "You really tried to murder that rich dude. What's he called again? Remind me, girls,""Lucian Manchester, president of Howards," The third woman said with a scrunched-up face. "Wow, I see even isolated gutter rats in this area of the world still get premium information," Betty muttered in disgust. She was slowly losing her cool and these bunch of bitches weren't helping matters."What did you say?" The fourth woman, a small woman with an u

Betty felt chills run through her as she stood with cold, hard eyes. She looked first at Lucian, then at Josephine, and suddenly, as if something had snapped within her, she walked up to Josephine and landed a fierce slap on her cheeks. "Funny how you showed up where you aren't wanted either, brat!"Betty's nostrils flared as the officers rushed in and roughly pushed her to the seat. They apologized repeatedly to Josephine before exiting the room."That won't stop me from landing you a similar slap if you don't leave right now!" Betty glared at Lucian.Lucian tsked. "Pride. So much pride even in your pathetic state. How very realistic." He turned to Josephine. "Are you okay?""Yeah, I can manage" Josephine forced a smile as she rubbed her chin."You're lucky there are no bruises on her face or else I'd sue you again, over and over again," Lucian said, this time his gaze burned on Betty and she scoffed. "You were expecting mummy to come see you, right? Perhaps one of her accomplices? S

Deciding against having the conversation in his office, Lucian walked into Anthony's office but the other man was already on his way out. "Young master…the police was here. I just finished organizing the staff to avoid murmurs and discoordination,""Don't go about stressing yourself. You're still recovering and you know that," Lucian scolded.Anthony smiled. "I'm fine, thanks for caring. But the fact remains that this is clearly John's doing. He's trying to shift the blame on you and that's not fair!""I played him to his own game," Lucian smiled knowingly. "That day after he crept into the company under disguise, I fished out the planted evidence and burnt it to ashes,""Serves him right…" Anthony mumbled as his mind kept roaming in thoughts.******"What do you mean they couldn't find evidence?! What the hell? Are you saying that the police went on a futile search and I just wasted my resources and time?!" John yelled aggressively at the leader of his men."That's what happened, bos
