CHAPTER 1
Xavier McKinney, a poor bartender, is maltreated and tortured by his in-laws because of his poor and wretched status. He married his wife, Joyce, 2 years ago because he loves and cherishes her so much, and Joyce does the same too. His wife's family are wealthy and influential people and hated the fact that he got married to their daughter. But due to the love he has for her, he endured the maltreatment and hoped they changed for good. ... Their car stopped in front of his wife's sister's house. Joyce made him go there for her aunt's birthday party. “I can't go in there; your family hates me." Xavier said nervously immediately after they reached the entrance door. “They don't hate you, and Aunt Kisha would kill me if we miss her birthday party." Joyce responded. “But Joyce…" Xavier tried to say. “Come on, let's go." Joyce said and dragged him into the house; he followed her reluctantly. Music blared loudly inside the sitting room; Joyce's sister Mira is dancing romantically with her fiancé, Greg. They stopped immediately when Xavier got in; he felt so ashamed. “Joyce, I see you brought this trash you call a husband." Mira mocked with laughter. “Doesn't he know that he's not welcome here?" Greg said disgustingly. Xavier bent his head in shame. Greg, their other rich in-law, walked up to Joyce and whispered to Xavier's hearing. “Just dump him already, Joyce; I will be waiting. And you, Xavier, you don't belong here, street rat!" He said it straight to his face. “Ok, everyone! I'm ready for my presents!" Kisha said happily, and Joyce walked up to her. Xavier wanted to follow up, but Greg halted him. “We are just waiting for the day Joyce wises up and divorces you." Greg chuckled sarcastically. “It's ok, Greg, I love Joyce and mean no harm to her." Xavier responded calmly. “Hmm, we don't need your love here; you disgust us!" Greg sneered. Greg walked to Kisha, adjusting his suit. He presented her with a golden chain and wristwatch. “Oooh…the watch is so beautiful!" Kisha exclaims happily. “Aahh, yes, that's from me, Aunty Kisha; it's pure gold. And I believe it once belonged to Queen Elizabeth." Greg said boastfully. Joyce patted Xavier's shoulders as he squeezed the little envelope that he was holding as a gift. “Finally my sweet in-law has some good taste." Kisha said with a smile. She then turned to Xavier with a disgusted and brutal face. “Xavier, what did you get for me?" Kisha asked and immediately snatched the envelope he was holding. “Wait? No…" Xavier stammered, but it was too late; she brought out the letter and read it out. “Dear Aunt Kisha, I need to borrow $500,000. I will pay you back!" She read disgustingly. She dropped the letter and stood up angrily. “Did you come to my party just to beg for money!?" She shouted furiously at him. Xavier faces the ground shamefully. “Aunt Kisha, stop! You are embarrassing my husband!" Joyce said immediately. “Get out!" Kisha shouted, and Xavier stood up shamefully to leave. “Wait, I will give you the money if you divorce Joyce and leave this family forever; in fact, I will give you $1 million." Kisha added. “I'll never divorce Joyce!" Xavier responded and left immediately. Joyce ran after him outside the house. “Xavier, what was that?" She asked. “My foster mother needs surgery; it will cost $500,000." He responded. “Let me talk to Aunt Kisha; I know she…" Joyce was talking when Aunt Kisha walked up to us. “Talk to Aunt Kisha about what!? He'll never get a dime from me. Now go!" Kisha yelled. Joyce took his hand to leave. “Not you, Joyce! If you leave, then you are no longer my niece!" Kisha said. “Don't worry, Joyce, I will go." Xavier said and left. He got a call from work. “Hi Mr. Xavier, you are fired from coming to work. We found someone else for replacement… Don't ask for reasons." His manager said and hung up. His manager has hated him ever since he started working there. Xavier walked on the road tiredly; he had no one else to meet to ask for my foster mother's surgery bill, and he lost the only job he had. Just then a black Jeep drove past him and then reversed back to him. “Mr. Xavier! Mr. Xavier! I have been looking all over for you." The stranger said in the car, winding down his windows. “Who are you?" Xavier was surprised. “Wait, you don't remember? It's Philip, your old butler." He responded. “How did you find me?" Xavier asked. “Your grandfather sent me; he is very sorry that the last few years have been so hard on you. Here, take this; it's your inheritance. It isn't much. Only $5 billion." Philip said, handing him a golden card. “$5 billion dollars!?" Xavier was shocked. “Yes, you know your grandfather is a very wealthy man." Philip responded. “No, I didn't know because he gave me up! I don't want anything from him." Xavier said and continued walking. Philip followed him with the car, and he stopped again. “Yesterday, he bought the Berol cooperation company for $15 billion dollars. And now it's yours. Here, take this golden card; it should be more than enough to take care of your foster mother's surgery bill." He gave him the card and drove off. “Wait!" Xavier shouted, but he left already. Xavier stood at a spot staring at the golden card. His grandfather's company and Joyce's family are rivals, so their marriage was not approved by his grandfather. That was why he gave up and neglected him all these years, but now that Xavier is back to being a billionaire. He will keep this a secret from Joyce. He got home and found Joyce cooking in the kitchen. “Xavier, I'm sorry about today; I'll talk to Aunt Kisha again." She said immediately she saw him and hugged him tightly. “Don't bother; I don't want anything from your family." Xavier smiled at her. “Except me?" She giggled. “Except you." Xavier replied and kissed her. They were sleeping; he checked up on Joyce and made sure she was already deep in sleep. He got up and took up the golden card and dialed the doctor's number with his phone.Expand

The Coming Back Of The Hidden Trillionaire 44
44Mr. Lawson stepped into the room with the energy of a man who had been holding onto a surprise for far too long. In his hands was a medium-sized, carefully wrapped box with a golden ribbon that glinted under the warm light. His broad smile stretched from ear to ear.“Hey, hey, check it out, check it out!” he announced with a cheerful voice that immediately cut through the lingering tension. “The gift is here!”All eyes turned toward him. Even the mockery and murmurs that had filled the room moments ago fell silent. He walked over to the table and, with deliberate care, set the box down.Aurora’s eyes lit up like Christmas lights. Her small hands clasped together as she let out a squeal of excitement. “My gift!” she cried, rushing forward with the eagerness only a child could have. Her fingers brushed the ribbon, hesitating for just a second as she looked up at her father. Xavier gave her an encouraging nod, and she beamed before starting to undo the ribbon.The others, however, sto

The Coming Back Of The Hidden Trillionaire 43
43Joyce didn’t bother listening to anything Mr. Daniels had to say. His voice dripped with mockery, his words sharp and intentionally cruel, but she didn’t even flinch. Her mind was too occupied with worry about Aurora to entertain his constant digs at her or her husband. Whatever petty insults he was tossing into the air, they meant nothing compared to the pounding in her chest every second her daughter was still missing.When her friend Calista had earlier called about the CEO of the Barrels Cooperative Company, Joyce hadn’t even processed half of it. She had no interest in talk about any man, rich, handsome, or otherwise. Right now, her mind had space for only one person: her daughter.Mr. Daniels, however, didn’t stop. He leaned back in his chair, smirking like a man convinced he’d won an argument that no one else was having. “The only thing your husband can do is sit around and eat money he didn’t earn,” he sneered, voice thick with disdain. “And you should know, Joyce, the day

The Coming Back Of The Hidden Trillionaire 42
42Aurora stepped fully into the spacious warehouse, her eyes wide as they took in the vast room filled with gleaming toys and expensive gadgets neatly arranged on polished shelves. “This place is beautiful,” she whispered to herself, her voice tinged with awe. The soft glow of the overhead lights bounced off the walls, creating a warm, almost magical atmosphere. “I knew my father had a beautiful place. Of course, I’m here to take the gift.”Her gaze caught movement near the far side of the room, a tall, stern-looking man in a sharp suit, busy checking inventory and speaking briskly into his phone. As Aurora approached, the man noticed her and immediately folded his arms, suspicion clouding his face. This was Mr. Lawson, the chief executive manager of the Barrels Cooperative Company.“Excuse me, little girl,” he said, his tone firm and unwelcoming. “This is not a toy store. You need to leave.” He stepped forward, clearly about to usher her out.But Aurora stood her ground, clutching t

41Everybody was confused. The commotion was so loud and chaotic that no one even noticed when Aurora slipped away. Voices clashed, accusations flew, and tension crackled in the air like static electricity. All eyes turned to Xavier. The blame settled heavily on his shoulders, but especially on Keisha, who didn’t hesitate to lay it all out bluntly.“Xavier is the cause of this mess!” she spat, her voice sharp with bitterness. “His terrible parenting made his daughter run away. She’s probably ashamed, ashamed of him being her father.” Her eyes burned with accusation as they fixed on Xavier.Xavier’s jaw tightened, a flicker of pain crossing his face before he forced himself to speak. “It’s okay. I’ll find Aurora,” he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside. Without waiting for a response, he rushed out the door.Inside, Joyce wasn’t confused. Her heart pounded with panic and fear, her breath hitching as she clasped her hands tightly together. “Oh my goodness, Xavier,” she whi

40The room’s tension shifted palpably when Mira’s voice cut sharply through the chaos. She was arranging ornaments on the Christmas tree, her hands trembling slightly as she spoke. “You’re pathetic, Xavier,” Mira spat, eyes blazing with contempt. “Look at what you’ve caused. Your daughter is already believing things that aren’t true, all because of your lies, your fake self. Hashtag sad!”Her words struck like a dagger, sharp and cruel. The room seemed to hold its breath for a moment, waiting to see how Xavier would respond.Before Xavier could react, Joyce quickly moved to Mira’s side, her eyes flashing with fury. “Oh please, Mira,” she said, her tone icy but firm. “Your husband is pathetic, not mine. Don’t you ever talk to my husband like that again, okay? If you do, I won’t take it lightly. I could slap you right here.”Joyce laughed, a sharp, almost manic sound that filled the space. “Oh, so you think your husband is the stupidest one here? Please,” she continued, turning toward

The Coming Back Of The Hidden Trillionaire 39
39The room felt heavier now, the air thick with disbelief.Everyone stared at the slip of paper like it was a cursed artifact. The receipt of purchase, Barrols Cooperative Company’s own letterhead, a $35,000 payment, and the exact details of a classified warehouse, wasn’t just suspicious, it was impossible.Keisha was the first to break the silence, her voice sharp and quivering. “That’s impossible,” she said, her eyes darting between Xavier and the paper as though trying to see where the trick was. “He doesn’t even have that kind of money. He doesn’t even have thirty-five thousand dollars! That… that toy is worth thirty thousand, how could he pay for it?!” Her face twisted in a mix of shock and scorn. “It’s impossible for this to happen!”Philip, still holding the paper in a tense grip, turned on Xavier, his face a storm of rage and confusion. “You animal,” he spat, stepping closer. “No wonder, you’re a fraudster! How did you know the top-secret information from our company? Do you
