Chapter 95: The execution of Richard

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-24 02:55:06

The prison walls were thick, damp, and lifeless, swallowing the crazy screams of those who had walked the path Richard Dane was about to take. The air inside the dimly lit execution chamber was heavy with the scent of sweat, iron, and the cold indifference of justice. The chains around Richard’s wrists sounded as he was dragged forward by two guards, his once-confident posture now reduced to the trembling form of a man facing his own mortality.

His breath came in short, uneven gasps. His heart pounded violently in his chest as the reality of the situation dawned at his mind. Just a few weeks ago, he had been a man who commanded power, manipulating those around him with ease. But now, stripped of influence, abandoned by allies, and reviled by society, he was nothing more than a condemned soul awaiting judgment.

“No… no, you can’t do this!” Richard thrashed against the firm grip of the guards, his voice was filled from days of shouting, pleading, and cursing the world that had turn

    The news spread like wildfire.Richard Dane was dead. Hanged for his crimes.The world moved on, but for Alexander, time stood still.Inside the cold, gray walls of his prison cell, he sat on his hard bunk, his hands clasped together, staring blankly at the floor. The air was thick with dampness, the scent of iron bars and unwashed fabric suffocating him. His thoughts was filled in a chaotic mess, dragging him deeper into the hollow emptiness that had settled in his chest.He had known this moment would come. He had accepted it as justice.So why did it feel like a piece of him had just been forgotten away?Richard had been many things—a manipulator, a liar, a man capable of unthinkable cruelty. But before all that, he had been his brother.They had once been inseparable. They had grown up under the same roof, played under the same sun, shared childhood secrets, and once fought the world together.And now, just like that, it was over.Gone.Erased in a single moment when the rope t

    The prison walls seemed to close in around Alexander as he sat across from the mysterious man who had come to see him. The air in the visiting room was thick with tension, the kind that hinted at secrets long buried. The man, was wearing a tailored black suit with golden chain on the cuffs, exuded an aura of authority. His eyes held a mix of warning and expectation.Alexander recognized him immediately—Elder Daramola, the high priest of the royal council from his homeland.It had been years since he last saw the man, and even longer since he had thought about the place he once called home. The village he had abandoned. The throne he had turned his back on.Daramola’s voice was deep and commanding. “Your Highness, you have been gone for too long.”Alexander denied the title. “I am not a king,” he said firmly, his jaw tightening.Daramola’s eyes darkened. “That is where you are wrong. You were born into this destiny, and you cannot escape it. Your time is running out.”Alexander let

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 98:A night of revelation

    The air outside was cold, carrying the distant hum of the city as Gabriel led Daniela toward an elegant restaurant pushed into a quiet corner of the bustling district. The golden glow of streetlights reflected on the pavement, and the rhythmic sounds of passing cars created a soothing backdrop to the turmoil raging in her mind.Daniela’s hands trembled slightly as she held onto the small purse by her side. Her thoughts were still tangled with the overwhelming discoveries she had made about Alexander. Her heart pounded with questions she had no answers to.Gabriel, sensing her fear, spoke softly. “I thought you could use a break, Daniela. You’ve been carrying too much on your shoulders.”She forced a weak smile. “I appreciate it, but I doubt a dinner can change what I’m feeling right now.”“Maybe not,” Gabriel admitted. “But at least it might help you breathe for a moment.”She hesitated before nodding, realizing that fighting him on this wouldn’t do her any good. Her world had just b

    Alexander woke up to a headache and the weight of regret pressing against his chest. He had barely slept since signing the contract, his mind tormented by the consequences of his decision. The ink had dried, and now, the real game had begun.He sat at the edge of his bed, staring at the early morning skyline through his penthouse window. The city was alive, oblivious to the chaos inside h. He had gambled everything—his company, his reputation, and now, his last house.A sharp knock at the door snapped him from his thoughts."Come in," he called out.His personal assistant, Jordan, stepped in, carrying a tablet. His expression was concerned."Sir, you need to see this."Alexander took the tablet and scrolled through the financial reports. His hands left him as he saw the latest updates. The numbers weren’t improving—they were getting worse."Mikhailov has already started making moves," Jordan continued. "He increased his stake to 45% overnight. The board is uneasy."Alexander cursed un

    Alexander stood in the middle of his now-empty office, the echo of his own breathing filling the vast space. The once-proud empire he had built, the legacy he had fought for, had been stripped from him—piece by piece.The desk, the bookshelves, even the paintings that once hung on the walls—all gone. Mikhailov had taken everything.His phone buzzed, breaking the suffocating silence. He pulled it out of his pocket, already knowing what it was.Final Notice: Vacate the premises within 48 hours.His house—the last thing tying him to his old life—was no longer his.A bitter chuckle escaped his lips. So this was what rock bottom felt like.He collapsed into his chair, rubbing his temples. He had no office. No home. No money.And worse—no one to turn to.Everyone he once trusted had distanced themselves the moment his empire began to crumble. The board members had voted him out. The investors had withdrawn their support. Even Daniela—one of his closest allies—had walked away.Alexander Laws

    Alexander sat on the cold park bench, staring into the distance. The city lights flickered in the background, a cruel reminder of the life he once had. The weight of his downfall settled over him like a heavy cloak, suffocating him with regret.He had been at the top once, untouchable, commanding respect wherever he went. Now, he was just another ruined man, stripped of everything, abandoned by those who once called him a friend.The thought made his stomach twist with anger.Then, like a spark in the darkness, a memory surfaced—Richard’s house.His late brother’s estate had been vacant for years. At least, it should have been. No one had lived there since Richard's passing. Alexander had avoided it, too consumed by work, by deals, by the empire he had built.Now, that empire was gone."That is… if someone else hasn’t taken it over by now," he muttered under his breath.It was a risk. He had no guarantee that the house was still empty, but it was the only option he had.Pushing himsel

    Deep in the heart of the village, a small gathering of elders sat in a dimly lit chamber within the royal palace. The air was thick with the scent of burning incense, and the flickering flames of oil lamps cast eerie shadows across the stone walls.The Oracle, a frail old man draped in ceremonial robes, sat at the head of the room. His voice, though weak with age, carried an undeniable weight of authority.“The time is near,” he said, his milky eyes gazing into the flames before him. “The throne cannot remain empty much longer. If the rightful heir does not return, the spirits of our ancestors will unleash their wrath.”A murmur ran through the elders. They had waited long enough. Alexander Lawson, whether he liked it or not, was destined to be king.One of the chief messengers, a tall, broad-shouldered man named Chief Obiora, stepped forward. “We have already sent word before, but he has ignored us,” he said, frustration evident in his tone.The Oracle’s gaze remained fixed on the fi

    Gabriel sat in his car, parked outside an upscale café, his fingers drumming against the steering wheel. He took a deep breath before dialing the number he had saved weeks ago.The phone rang twice before a smooth, professional voice answered. “Elegant Affairs Event Planning, this is Amelia speaking. How may I assist you?”Gabriel adjusted his cufflinks, his pulse quickening. “Hello, Amelia. My name is Gabriel Carter. I need your services for something very special.”Amelia’s tone remained polite but sharpened with interest. “Of course, Mr. Carter. Could you tell me what kind of event you’re looking to plan?”He leaned back in his seat, a small smile tugging at his lips. “A proposal. A surprise proposal.”There was a brief pause before Amelia spoke again, her voice tinged with excitement. “That’s wonderful! Do you have a vision for how you’d like it to unfold?”Gabriel’s eyes softened as he thought of Daniela—her laughter, the way her eyes sparkled when she talked about her dreams, th

But his foolish bleeding heart refused to listen. He pressed the button. The phone rang once and then twice then also the third time. His ear began to shake as he imagined her reaction.

    Gabriel sat in the dimly lit living room, staring blankly at the wall. The silence of the house was suffocating, pressing against his chest like a heavy weight. The absence of Daniela felt like a gaping hole in his life, one that he never imagined would exist.Just days ago, this house was filled with warmth, laughter, and the familiar presence of the woman he loved. Now, it was just an empty space—lifeless, cold, and unbearably quiet.He let out a long, shaky breath as he ran a hand through his disheveled hair. His eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, flickered toward the half-empty bottle of whiskey on the table. He had never been much of a drinker, but tonight, the burn of alcohol seemed like the only thing keeping him grounded."Why, Daniela?" he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you do this to me?"The pain in his chest tightened as memories of her flooded his mind. The way she used to smile at him, the way she would rest her head on his shoulder after a long da

    The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow over the vast, fertile lands of the village as Alexander’s convoy approached. The air buzzed with excitement, and the entire community had gathered in anticipation of the arrival of their new king and queen.Alexander sat in the back of his luxurious black car,his fingers joined together as he stared out of the window. Beside him, Daniela sat quietly, her expression unreadable. She was dressed in a flowing royal blue gown, adorned with intricate golden embroidery that shimmered in the fading sunlight.She had not spoken much since they left the city. Alexander had noticed the distant look in her eyes, but he didn’t care. All that mattered was that she was here with him, and soon, she would be crowned as his queen.The journey had been long, winding through dusty roads and dense forests, but finally, they reached the grand palace at the heart of the village. The palace, though ancient, stood with an air of majesty—its walls adorned w

    Gabriel stood frozen, his entire world crashing down around him. The wrumpled note in his trembling hands felt heavier than it should, as if it carried the weight of all the emotions swirling inside him. His chest tightened, his breathing uneven as the words replayed in his mind. I’m sorry. I don’t expect you to understand, but I have to go. Please don’t look for me.His throat left him and before he knew it, hot tears welled up in his eyes. His hands trembled as he wiped his face, but the tears kept coming. He let out a sharp breath, gripping the edge of the dining table for support.Why?Why would Daniela suddenly leave him like this? After everything they had been through, after everything he had done for her?He staggered backward, dragging a hand through his hair in frustration. His mind reeled with unanswered questions. This wasn’t just a simple breakup—it didn’t make sense. Daniela had given no signs of being unhappy. She had never complained. If anything, she had seemed happy

    Gabriel stirred in his sleep, shifting slightly as he reached out for Daniela, expecting to feel the warmth of her body beside him. His fingers touched nothing but cold sheets. His brows furrowed as his eyes flickered open. The dim glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the empty space beside him.“Daniela?” he called groggily, his voice thick with sleep. No response.His heart pounded slightly as he sat up, running a hand through his messy hair. He reached for his phone on the nightstand and checked the time—2:37 AM. A strange sense of unease crept up his spine.Maybe she had gone to the bathroom? He swung his legs off the bed, planting his feet on the cold tiles before standing up. He walked toward the bathroom door and knocked lightly.“Dani?”Silence.His chest tightened as he pushed the door open, only to find the bathroom empty. He frowned, stepping out into the dimly lit bedroom. His eyes darted around, his mind struggling to stay rational.“She must be in the kitchen,” he murmure

    The city was wrapped in silence, the streets nearly empty except for the occasional flicker of headlights cutting through the night. The digital clock on the bedside table blinked 2:13 AM in bold red numbers, casting a faint glow in the dimly lit bedroom.Gabriel lay beside her, deep in sleep, his chest rising and falling steadily. The rhythmic sound of his breathing should have been comforting—it always had been. But tonight, it suffocated her.Daniela sat up slowly, careful not to make a sound.Her mind was a tangled mess.She didn’t understand what was happening to her. A few hours ago, she had been living her normal life—working, loving Gabriel, planning for their future. But now, all she could think about was Alexander.His voice.His face.His presence.It was like an invisible thread was pulling her toward him, tightening around her chest, making it impossible to breathe unless she was closer to him.Her heart ached for him.And she had no idea why.Shaking off the confusion, s

    The sun hung lazily in the sky, casting soft golden hues through the curtains of Daniela’s cozy apartment. The room was quiet, except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional chirping of birds outside. It was her day off from work, and she had planned to rest, maybe even do some cleaning, but she hadn’t expected a visitor.And certainly not him.Alexander stood at her doorstep, his usual confident smile in place, holding a neatly arranged gift bag. Daniela's brows furrowed in mild surprise. She hadn’t seen or spoken to him in weeks. She had moved on—at least, she thought she had.Still, curiosity got the better of her."What are you doing here?" she asked, crossing her arms.Alexander let out a small chuckle, his deep voice smooth. "Relax, Daniela. I just wanted to check on you. No pressure, no trouble. Just... an old friend bringing a gift."Her eyes flickered down to the bag in his hand.She hesitated.She knew Alexander too well. He was never one to do things wit

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 112: The plan in motion

    Alexander sat in his lavishly furnished bedroom, the golden chandelier above casting a dim glow over the space. The air was thick with the scent of expensive cologne and faint traces of burning incense—remnants of the chief priest’s visit from the previous day.On the polished mahogany table in front of him lay a small, dark vial.He picked it up, rolling it between his fingers. The chief priest had promised him that this would change everything. One drop of the sacred potion, and Daniela would no longer resist him. She would no longer see Gabriel. She would no longer refuse his love."Daniela, you will be mine again. You don’t have a choice."The thought sent a wicked thrill through him.He leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. He had spent the entire night thinking about how things had spiraled out of his control.When he and Daniela were together, he had never once thought she would leave him. He had been confident—too confident—tha

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 111: A gift

    The morning sunlight streamed through the tall glass windows of Alexander’s penthouse, casting long shadows across the floor. He had barely slept, his thoughts consumed by the memory of Daniela—her laughter, her sharp tongue, the way her eyes once softened when she looked at him. But that was in the past. Now, she was engaged to another man, willingly giving herself to someone who wasn’t him.That knowledge burned through his veins.No matter what, she would be his.A sharp knock on the door jolted him from his thoughts. He straightened, already knowing who it was. He strode toward the door, his heart pounding with anticipation, and pulled it open.Chief Priest Okanga stood before him, draped in a flowing red robe embroidered with ancient symbols. His presence was as commanding as ever, his dark eyes holding the wisdom of generations past. Around his neck, cowries and beads rattled softly as he stepped inside.“You summoned me, my prince,” Okanga said in his deep, measured voice.Alex
