The SYSTEM of a Fallen Billionaire: Rise Beyond Betrayal

“We're here,” James Carter said as he stood in front of the metal door together with Naomi Campbell. 

Creak! Creak! Creak! The door opened as they both walked in. The sight in front of them was a weak, thin man who looked no better than a skeleton, his spar hair clung to his face as his cheeks boned out, and his eyes sunk in.

 He looked like a walking dead, coupled with his hospital outfit.

Naomi was endowed with beauty and grace, her small oval face donned with blue eyes and a high nose bridge, coupled with her enchanting figure and her blond hair. 

James stood out equally handsome but with a hint of fierceness around his handsome countenance, his light brown amber eyes had a touch of arrogance, and his Black wavy hair shined like that of volcanic glass.

 “Brother, l can see you are still alive, this is great, so I hope the service here is to your liking,” James said looking at the weak man.

     “James, Naomi, you two traitors, forget it I will never sign that agreement, l would rather destroy my empire than give it to both of you,” Roland said in anger.

 “When did all this begin".  Roland thought as his gaze rested on James. Ever since their parents died, all he could remember was the 8-year-old child running after him calling him big brother.

 He labored from scratch as his uncles confiscated every bit of property owned by his parents. He started working at a junkyard, where food was scarce, but he made sure James got the best side of the meal with a daily ration of 3 meals a day. 

Most times he starved, but he made sure James was well-fed.

 After securing his first significant amount of wealth, his circumstances improved, which allowed him to enroll James in a reputable school. However, as his success grew, so did his workload. 

The demands of these expanding businesses made him spend less time with James. Reflecting on this, Roland couldn't help but feel a sense of regret and self-blame. 

He wondered if his lack of attention and presence contributed to James’s current situation.

This realization weighed heavily on Roland, making him question his priorities and decisions. He wished he could go back and change the past.

“James, I apologize for not being there for you, but why did you do this? How fragile was your love for me that you had to collide with my enemies to go against me? You know how l suffered to build Matix Group, but you aim to destroy my life's achievement?

 You poisoned me and put me here, why James, why?” Roland uttered in pain

 "You want to know the reason? Roland, hahaha, don't kid me, you are the reason, and you will always be the reason, ever since we were small, l was always the junior brother of the all-talented Roland.

 Nobody saw my abilities because you were there, you were just like an annoying stain that refused to wash away.

You said it yourself that you built the Matrix yourself, where do l come in here? l freaking hate you…you are constantly hugging all the game and glory to yourself while you leave the scraps for me to get,” James said, his eyes green with envy.

     “That's why I collided with Naomi’s family and regularly drugged your morning tea every day for five years. To be honest, words cannot express my happiness seeing you like this because very soon. Roland will die and James will thrive.” James continued. 

“Exactly, Roland!  James, l took great pains fawning on you, you have no idea how much hatred l have for you each time I am addressed as your fiancée. James is the one l love not you. Now sign this paper so we can't get out of this disgusting place,” Naomi enunciated as she tossed a paper bag to Roland.

 Roland's sight turned to Naomi, honestly, he had no impression of this idiotic socialist, the only thing he could remember was him being engaged to her because of a deal, but he made sure she got everything she wanted, so it still hurt seeing her all lovey-dovey with James, but that wasn't even his concern as his gaze glued onto the agreement in the bag.

“You guys got to be kidding me, l will never do such a thing, l won't give up all my life's achievements to a number of white-eyed wolves. You want recognition, build your company step by step, and stop being such a wimp, James. Only fools give excuses for their inadequacy.” Roland uttered in anger.

“As for you, you can take the garbage for all l care, it's as disgusting as you by the way, and just for your information, l never liked you so stop treating yourself as a treasure and get the heck out of my face.”Roland continued as he tossed the paper bag back at Naomi.

“You bastard, how dare you,” Naomi shouted in rage as she glared at Roland.  

“It hurts when someone tells you to your face how insignificant and ugly you are? Oops, I'm so sorry I kept this from you all this time.” Roland jokes.

“Enough! Roland, how dare you insult my girl?  l have no patience left for you…look at this, you might want to reconsider your stance again.”

 James said as he tossed another paper bag back to Roland.

“What's this? James, you bastard! How could you do this? you, you… Killed Leo, how come? He was my friend…He was like a brother to you…you killed him. Why?" Roland shouted in rage as he lunged at James, but he was easily subdued.

“Roland, if I could treat you my brother like this, what a more mere childhood friend, Eren, anything that stands in my way of getting Matix will be eliminated. So sign these documents or Leo’s family will join him in the grave, this choice is yours.” James smirked.
