THE SECRET HEIR AND HIS SECRET POWER Chapter 81
"You don't need to be so shocked, Old Man. I saved you from death; that's much more surprising, isn't it? Besides, who could perform such an act? But, let's not dwell on that; let's go back to the young girl who poisoned you. You should contact her immediately and track her whereabouts. She's probably waiting for news of your death. The poison she put in your drink will likely cause you to lose consciousness, and if you're unconscious while driving... Boom!" Andrew clasped his hands together, simulating a car crash. "If an accident happens, it will surely be covered on TV. I bet she's now standing by the TV waiting for that news."The old man appeared skeptical of Andrew's words, but there was also a glimmer of trust in his eyes. Andrew's presented facts were like well-grounded nonsense."What if you're lying and mistaken?" the old man asked.Andrew folded his arms across his chest and raised both eyebrows nonchalantly. The doubt of anyone he faced seemed to fuel his determination to

The call from Calvin was answered by Andrew just as he arrived at William's mansion. Andrew immediately stepped aside to one of the trees outside the mansion's grounds and answered the call."Yup, Calvin, what's up? How's your case going? Do I have to come back and take responsibility for all the mistakes I made?""I'm calling to ask you when the dinner will be held."A wide smile appeared on Andrew's face as he listened to Calvin's statement. Those words were like a door prize. His impromptu plan had worked, and it was really beneficial for him."Okay, first, I want you to say thank you first because this offer refers to my success in making you understand the person who wanted to plan your murder, right?"A long sigh could be heard from the other end of the phone. "Yes, I admit you're really amazing. Although I don't know what you did to find clues if Nania was really planning something bad against me. I hope you want to tell me about it later, as it's beyond comprehension.""I told

Andrew looked visibly annoyed as he and Marcel arrived at the courtyard of the late Smith's mining company. It wasn't without reason; he was feeling irritated due to the lingering fatigue in his body. Despite traveling by private jet and luxury car, jet lag still affected him. It was still early in the day, around 8 am."It should have been at 10 am. Don't you feel jet lag, Marcel?" Andrew complained."You'll get used to it, Mr. Andrew. You'll be traveling here frequently once this becomes your company, right?" Marcel replied with a smile that only irritated Andrew further. His attention was then drawn to a message that came in from Erica."Have you arrived? Call me.""Yes, tonight," Andrew replied to the message and put his phone away.As they entered the diamond mining area owned by the late Smith, Andrew's eyes were immediately drawn to a woman with long, fiery ginger hair. She was wearing a black shirt and a matching skirt, with a cigarette held between her fingers."Who is that w

Two black jeeps entered the mining area at high speed. A total of twelve tough-looking adult men got out of each vehicle, armed with long-barreled rifles. Some of them immediately spread out throughout the mining area, while others stood guard near the cars. Only two of them approached the building where Andrew, Marcel, and Smith's mistress, Ivanka, were located.One of the sturdy men with black sunglasses flicked their cigarette butt right in front of the entrance. He turned to his companion standing next to him. "Always keep your weapon ready, don't be careless. We could die if we can't save Ivanka.""Sure, Boss, besides, weaklings like them won't stand a chance against us. There are only three of them, after all," the other man replied.Marcel welcomed their arrival and opened the door, saying, "Welcome, let's talk."The two men exchanged glances and followed Marcel's lead as he walked towards the elevator. They chose the second floor, and no further conversation took place. The te

"Marcel, call the driver who brought us here and ask him to come with two staff members or whoever is available here. We need to tie up these two fools.""Ugh!"Andrew pressed his foot on Peacock's back, causing him more pain."Argh! Damn it! You guys were hired to protect me, and yet you were defeated and incapacitated by a man whose body is even..." Ivanka's sentence was cut off when a bullet struck a painting on the wall, causing it to fall and shatter."Do you want your mouth to end up like that?" Andrew stared at Ivanka with a flat expression. "I'm still hesitant to be violent towards you because you're a woman, but don't think I'm not willing to make you regret it.""H-hey, c-can you p-please get off my back? I can't breathe!" Peacock gasped, asking Andrew to move away."Get lost, fool! Don't let him die! I don't want to support his family!" Ivanka panicked, shouting at Andrew.Andrew chuckled, then moved away from Peacock's back and approached Ivanka, keeping his pistol pointed

"So, I think everything is clear now. You are not allowed to come here and claim that this company belongs to you. Tell your boss, if he disagrees, he can meet us here. But remember! Only your boss, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, especially you!" Ivanka pointed angrily at Andrew, a sly smile on her face."Say whatever you want, but one thing is certain, this company is ours. Go ahead and satisfy your desires, thinking that we will lose." Andrew replied casually.The conversation was cut short when Peacock arrived with five of his men armed with long-barreled weapons."Take them all to the car. I want them locked up in my mansion. They'll meet Adam there," Ivanka instructed Peacock.Andrew and the others were forcibly and roughly dragged away by the armed men. They complied, following the men with resignation. Marcel glanced at Andrew with concern in his eyes, but Andrew just smiled confidently. He still believed he could overcome all of this."Hey, Peacock," And

Pale faces could be seen on Ivanka and the staff member who was still staying with them. They sat weakly in front of the glass door, watching Marcel, Andrew's driver, Peacock, and one remaining member clean up the nine bodies in front of the building.Not only Ivanka but the staff member felt the same way. The difference was that Ivanka was afraid for the business ownership, while the staff member was terrified seeing the pile of bodies."Stay calm, I'll give you compensation for what you've witnessed today. I'm sorry for making you stay with us." Andrew patted the staff member's shoulder with a warm smile."That warm smile can't change the fact that you're truly insane. I mean, I'm really grateful that you saved me, but I can't deny the fact that you just killed nine people in an instant!" The staff member trembled intensely.Ivanka took a deep breath and turned to both of them. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she said, "This company truly belongs to me, please stop messing everyth

Andrew returned to the room where Ivanka was still sitting, staring blankly outside. However, his first goal was not Ivanka; it was the staff man who lay limp on the floor, crying continuously."Wake up," Andrew nudged the staff man's leg. "Go with the car outside, my driver and guard will take you home. Contact me later tonight or when you feel calm, give me your data so I can send you money, but don't give it to the two people who accompany you, ever." Andrew handed a business card to the staff man.The weak staff man immediately got up and took the business card. He looked at Andrew with eyes filled with fear. "Did I hear you correctly? Can I really leave from here?""Go, before I get annoyed looking at that your weird expression, I hate it."The staff man hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the room. Andrew watched him sharply and didn't realize that Ivanka was also about to step out of the room."Hey, Ivanka, wait."Andrew grabbed Ivanka's hand, but she roughly pushed him away a

The first thing Jerome felt was pain.A deep, throbbing ache pulsing through his ribs, jaw, and neck. His entire body screamed like he’d been hit by a truck, then thrown into another. His eyes opened slowly, vision swimming, light stinging.He wasn’t on the ground anymore. He was lying on a couch. A small, warm apartment — pale green walls, faint vanilla scent in the air, and a dim lamp glowing near a stack of books.Not his house. Not his room.And most importantly… not alone.“Hey.”Margareth’s voice cut through the haze.She was sitting in a worn armchair across the room, legs tucked beneath her, eyes red and tired, but focused entirely on him.Jerome tried to sit up, but pain flared in his side.“Easy,” she said, standing quickly. “You hit your head. Or something hit it for you.”He winced as she helped him lean back against the cushions.“What... happened?” he asked, voice raspy.“I found you. In the alley behind those apartments near 8th Street. You were unconscious. Bleeding. A

The sun set early that evening, swallowed quickly by the thick layer of gray clouds hanging low over the city. Wind whipped through the narrow streets of Jerome’s neighborhood, making the street signs rattle and the trees moan in warning.It wasn’t the kind of night you wanted to be outside in.And yet, Jerome was walking straight into it.He hadn’t meant to. Originally, he was just going to clear his head with a short walk — five blocks, tops — but something pulled at him. A weight in his chest that refused to be shaken unless he moved his legs, put some distance between himself and that suffocating house.He passed shuttered shops, puddles reflecting broken neon, and a row of parked cars lined like teeth.And the further he walked, the more certain he became.He wasn’t alone.At first, it was just a feeling. A flicker at the edge of his vision. The sound of an extra footstep when his own had stopped. But then he heard it.Soft. Steady. Calculated.A second set of footsteps.Jerome k

Tampa’s rain had stopped, but the clouds refused to leave.Jerome walked along the edge of the campus field, his hands shoved into the pockets of a black windbreaker that barely shielded him from the breeze. There was an eerie kind of silence in the air, the kind that made him glance over his shoulder every few steps — not because he was paranoid, but because something told him he had every reason to be.The necklace had been dormant all day.He hadn’t worn it. He’d left it in his backpack, zipped in the inner pouch, wrapped in an old T-shirt like a makeshift sarcophagus. But even in there, it pulsed. It was like hiding a heartbeat — faint but impossible to ignore.Jerome sat at the edge of the bleachers and looked toward the tall iron fence that separated the campus from the back alley. That’s when he saw him.A man. Dressed in all black. Standing completely still on the other side of the fence.He wasn’t doing anything — just watching.Jerome’s first instinct was to pretend he hadn’

The morning after felt like a hangover.Not the kind brought on by alcohol, but the raw, nauseating fog of a night spent screaming at voices only he could hear.Jerome stared at the ceiling. He hadn’t moved in over an hour. The necklace was still under his bed, where he’d tossed it the night before, and for the first time since receiving it, he refused to wear it.The calm in the house was deceptive. His mother was humming in the kitchen — a soft, nostalgic tune, something old-fashioned that she used to sing when he was younger, when things still made sense. Back when their world, however small and crumbling, had some rhythm to it.Now, it was chaos wrapped in glass smiles.Jerome finally stood and trudged to the bathroom. His reflection looked worse than he expected. His face was pale, his eyes hollow, and there was a faint redness around his pupils. He splashed cold water on his face and stared at himself again.No change.It wasn’t just exhaustion. It was... residue. The kind left

Later that night, the rain returned.Tampa streets shimmered under the yellow streetlights, coated in a thin sheen of water. Jerome walked alone down the cracked sidewalk, hands deep in his hoodie pockets, head bowed against the wind.He didn’t even remember how he left campus—only that Margareth had let him go after promising to “talk again tomorrow.” Whatever that meant. His thoughts had been looping all afternoon: the way his hand moved on its own, the blank, terrified look on Ryan’s face, and most of all—the voice.That voice.He stopped walking and leaned against a telephone pole, letting the cold seep into his back. His chest felt tight again, but not from asthma.“Why me?” he murmured.The necklace didn’t answer.But it pulsed. Softly. Once.That was worse.Jerome arrived at the tiny, peeling house he called home and stood in front of the door for a long moment, staring. He hated walking into that place now. Every time he did, it was like the walls closed in tighter. And ever s

The morning air at campus felt heavy. The Tampa sky was overcast, but the sun still managed to burn through the clouds in the most annoying way. Students rushed down the narrow sidewalks, some chatting casually, others glued to their phones.Jerome walked slowly through the corridor, wearing a gray hoodie pulled low over his face. His gaze was dull, and his eyes looked like they hadn’t seen sleep in days.Which was true.The necklace around his neck now felt like metal fused to his bones. Not painful, but... intrusive. As if the thing refused to be forgotten, even for a second.Margareth had glanced at him several times throughout the morning. They were in the same class for modern literature. Her seat was just one row away, and every few minutes she turned her head, trying to read the expression usually hidden behind his glasses.“Jerome,” she called softly after class ended.He turned to her. His face remained blank.“Are you okay? You look like... like you’ve been holding your brea

Jerome woke up gasping for air. Sweat drenched his face and body, causing the worn-out T-shirt clinging to his skin to feel like a second, suffocating layer. His eyes darted wildly around the room, struggling to anchor himself—was he still in the real world, or had the nightmare that ensnared him dragged him somewhere far worse?In the darkness of his room, one thing stood out: a faint gleam—the blue pendant hanging around his neck. It shimmered softly, almost as if it were breathing with him, pulsing with a life of its own.Jerome lifted a trembling hand and touched the pendant carefully. It was warm against his fingertips, beating gently like a slow, steady heart. As his skin brushed the stone, a whisper rose... or perhaps it was just the exhausted echo of his own mind."You chose me..."Jerome froze.The deep, resonant voice hadn't come from the room. It had cut straight through his thoughts, slicing into his mind with a terrifying calmness.Swallowing hard, Jerome shook off the da

Ryan and the other two were already standing in front of the car with faces full of rage. They pointed at Jerome, who had just arrived with Margareth at the field near Jerome’s house.“Jerome, I don’t think you need to do all this, remember they’re—”Margareth’s words stopped mid-sentence when Jerome raised his hand while looking at her.“Maybe you know how weak Jerome is at campus, but not now. Didn’t you see how I hit Ryan earlier?”“Yes, but… I think that was just a coincidence because you found an opening, and that doesn’t change the fact that they’re much stronger than you, Jerome!”Jerome patted Margareth’s shoulder and said, “Everything’s going to be fine, and you know what? If I actually manage to take down all three of them, I want to ask you out on a date!”Margareth looked confused, while Jerome now ran enthusiastically toward Ryan and the others.Margareth didn’t pay much attention to Jerome’s earlier words—her only concern was Jerome’s safety.“Alright, come here! I’m not

Jerome hid under the blanket. What had happened to the three men earlier terrified him."Am I going to die? They definitely won't stay quiet; they'll come back," Jerome mumbled, clutching tightly to the edge of the blanket that covered his body.The sound of a knock on the door startled him, his heart seeming to leap out of his chest. Sweat, which had been absent, now surged all over his body, but the tension eased slightly when he heard his mother's voice."Jerome, are you home?" Meghan, his mother, called out.Jerome quickly hid the necklace he was wearing under his shirt and hurried to open the door for Meghan. His eyes narrowed as he glanced out the window, seeing a man kissing Meghan's neck affectionately."My son! Where have you been, sleeping?" Meghan asked with a broad smile."Who is this?" Jerome asked, looking at the man with jet-black hair who was now fondling Meghan's backside.Meghan pushed the man's hand away awkwardly and was about to answer her only child's question wh
