The son of a billionaire in disguise Queen, Knight, and a Pawn
Groaning as his blurry vision cleared, Rene rubbed the back of his neck and then looked around, frowning at the familiarity of the room. He was back in his room at the safe house, and knowing that his father was behind his kidnap, he scowled and then woke from the bed. Just then his eyes caught a sight of Rome sitting on the balcony, and he sighed, approaching the glass door, and pushing it open.Calmly he walked over to Rome, drew out a chair, and sat, staring hard at his father. "You kidnapped me."Gazing at the bloodstain on his son's nose, Rome's brows furrowed and he calmly said, "Say the word.""What?" Rene mumbled and then he saw that his father was staring at his nose.Realizing what Rome meant, Rene drew a deep breath, leaning back as he stared at the sky before exhaling with a smile."I should, shouldn't I?" Rene mumbled, his smile faltering a bit. "After everything they have done, I should... But I can't.""Rene," Rome's voice raised slightly.Silent settled between the t

Looking away from his mother to stare at his buzzing phone, Gunnar stared at the name, "Boss Kia," on his phone before picking up the phone.Gunnar picked up the phone, taking a deep breath before answering. "Hey, Boss. What’s up? How did it go?""Let's meet up. I will send you the address." Gunnar’s brow furrowed as he listened to Rene’s voice on the other end."What's going on?"“Just meet me at the address I’m sending you... We need to discuss something important.”“Got it... I’ll head over there now."After ending the call, Gunnar looked up at Ruby and then stood from the couch. He approached her and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Ma, I will be back."When she nodded with a faint beam, he returned a smile and then walked off, staring at his screen when his phone buzzed again.The music in Pub 200 was calm when Gunnar walked in a few minutes later. For a moment, he gazed around and then noticed Rene sitting at the far end of the bar, seated at a booth in a dimly lit corner. As
The son of a billionaire in disguise Stepping on your toes
Rene took another sip of his drink, letting the anticipation build. “The first thing we need is a mansion,” he said, looking straight into Gunnar's eyes.“A mansion?” Gunnar repeated, arching an eyebrow. “You mean I need to live like one of them?”Rene nodded. “Exactly. You need to look the part, and that includes where you live. We’ll find a property that fits the profile of a wealthy investor or entrepreneur. It will be our base of operations and the place where you’ll entertain your new ‘friends’.”Gunnar leaned back, considering the enormity of the task. “Alright, a mansion. What’s next?”Rene’s eyes twinkled with mischief. “Next, we go shopping. We need to get you some luxurious brand clothes. If you’re going to fit in, you need to dress like them. Think designer suits, expensive watches, the whole nine yards.”Gunnar chuckled, shaking his head. “I’ve never been one for fancy clothes, but I guess I can make an exception for this.”“And after that,” Rene continued, “we’ll get you
The son of a billionaire in disguise Personal
A wild laugh escaped Gunnar's lips, catching the barber off guard. The sheer audacity of the barber’s whisper, combined with the absurdity of the situation, struck him as unexpectedly hilarious. He glanced at Rene, who was obliviously enjoying his whiskey, and then at the barber, whose face had turned an uncomfortable shade of red.Gunnar cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. "You are such a gullible idiot.""Huh?" The barber’s face twisted in confusion, and he looked from Gunnar to Rene, trying to make sense of the situation.Another laugh escaped Gunnar’s lips as he saw the confusion on the barber’s face. He took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure, and looked directly at the barber. "Ain't you?"Suddenly, Gunnar’s expression darkened, and a look of annoyance crossed his face."Yes. Yes. Of course. I am such a gullible idiot." The barber laughed, annoyed that he was getting scolded and not Rene. "Listen, I don’t need a lecture from you about firing my assist
The son of a billionaire in disguise Their days are numbered
Three months laterPushing the back of her head into the pillow, Maria lay in bed, clutching her phone, her eyes locked on the last message Rene had sent her a week ago. "Wait for me. I will see you soon."Those words echoed in her mind, a mixture of hope and despair twisting her heart. She wiped away the tears that rolled down the corner of her lids, wondering where he was and if he was safe. The silence from him for the past days had been excruciating. Just then, a knock on her door startled her from her thoughts. Then Rachel's voice came through. "Miss Maria, dinner is ready. Your family is waiting for you."With a deep breath, Maria forced herself to sit up, brushing away the remnants of her tears. "Thank you. I'll be down in a moment."Forcing herself out of her room, she headed downstairs, feeling the weight of her family's gaze as she entered the dining room. As her gaze lowered, Maria hesitantly took her seat at the table, her heart pounding in her chest. Just as she was abou
The son of a billionaire in disguise The plan
Staring at the sky, Rene drew a deep breath, feeling well-rested from his trip yesterday and glad to be home... relieved that it was Sunday.Just then, his phone buzzed and he reached for it in his pocket and answered, "Good morning, father.""I'm proud of you," was the first words that left Rome's lips."For-""Spending my money wisely."Sighing, Rene stared at the cloud and then said, "I couldn't have done it without you-""Give credit where it is due... It's all you, son. I might have pushed some buttons, but you're the one who stepped up and made it happen. You proved me right, and I knew you would. I just needed to give you that extra push. You've got the cunning and intelligence."Rene listened quietly, his expression unreadable as his father continued, "I've seen what you're capable of. You're not just my son; you're the future of our family. Keep making those connections, and keep climbing higher. You've got a legacy to build."A hint of pride crept into Rene's voice as he rep

Speeding through traffic like a maniac, Rene arrived at the Rossi estate in under twenty minutes and burst inside the large mansion, shouting, "Maria!" The guards in the hallway glared at him like some sort of madman, and then stood in his way, saying, "How dare you cause such disruption in the Rossi home. Don't you know Sunday is Master resting day and you dare to intrude?"Rene didn't pay them any mind as he shouted back, "Let me pass. Now!"The guards remained silent, glancing at each other nervously, but they stood their ground, refusing to move.Rene growled under his breath as he tried again, yelling, “Maria!!"Soon the sound of footsteps alerted the guards, and Rene stared past the guards to see Josh approaching him from the opposite direction. "I told you to stay away from my daughter. Didn't I?" Josh said angrily.Seeing Josh, Rene felt fury flare up within him but swallowed it down, glaring back. "Maria is not some commodity that you can pass around in exchange for somet

Gunnar arrived at the conference flanked by members of his gang, all dressed in immaculate black suits. They moved with a sense of purpose, their presence imposing. As they entered the conference hall, the swarm of reporters, TV crews, paparazzi, and journalists created a flurry of activity. Cameras flashed, and microphones were thrust forward as Gunnar made his way to the podium.“Mr. Gunnar, can you tell us more about your new project with Apex Corporation?” one journalist asked, her voice barely audible over the din.Gunnar smiled confidently, taking a moment to adjust his tie. “Now that we’ve secured the contract with Apex Corporation, we’ll be focusing on meeting with potential incorporations to form strategic partnerships. This is a significant step forward, and we’re excited about the opportunities ahead.”“Can you elaborate on what these partnerships will entail?” another reporter called out.“We’re looking to leverage the strengths of both Apex Corporation and our company,” Gu

Drawing a deep breath, Rene sat back in his leather chair, casually leaning his elbows on the armrests, eyes scanning the office around him. Across from him, Marco stood, hands still tucked into his pockets, his expression as deadpan as ever. René glanced at him and then, with a small grin, spoke in his calm, collected voice."Marco, I need you to understand something. This whole job I hire you for... it doesn't run on loyalty to anyone else. It runs on loyalty to me. I need to know everything that’s going on in this building. You get me?"Locking eyes with him, Marco nodded, his gaze steady. "Yes, boss.""And that means," René continued, leaning forward slightly, "you don’t take orders from anyone unless they come directly from me. Not from Mr. Rossi, not from my wife Maria, not even from my so-called in-laws." He paused, giving Marco a pointed look. "Your loyalty is mine and mine alone.""Understood, boss." Marco’s tone didn’t waver. His dead-eyed stare might have been unsettling
The son of a billionaire in disguise Benefit
Drawing a deep breath, Alejandro stood in the middle of his destroyed office, his breathing heavy, fists still clenched, when the knock on the door came again.For a moment, he ignored it, staring at the shattered remains of the vase, the overturned coffee table, and the scattered papers. He wasn’t in the mood for company, and whoever was at the door was the last thing on his mind.The knock came again, a little more insistent this time.With a growl of frustration, Alejandro wiped a hand over his face, trying to collect himself. “Come in,” he barked, not bothering to hide the irritation in his voice.The door creaked open, and in stepped a timid figure... a man Alejandro immediately recognized. It was Derek, the guy his grandfather had laid off earlier this morning. He was dressed simply, his face pale and anxious, clearly not expecting to find Alejandro amidst the ruins of what used to be a pristine office.The second Derek saw the mess and Alejandro’s furious glare, he froze in t
The son of a billionaire in disguise A knock
As the silence dragged on, Jessica sat there, still on her knees in front of Carlo Rossi's desk, her breath catching in her throat as she tried to hold onto her fragile mask of vulnerability. Her heart raced, hoping that the call Carlo just made would secure her place in the company again, that everything would go as she planned. She waited for the door to open, fully expecting to see Rene walk in.But when the door creaked open, it wasn’t Rene.It was Alejandro.Jessica’s stomach dropped the moment their eyes met.Standing in the doorway, Alejandro’s face twisted in anger the second he saw her kneeling on the floor. His dark eyes narrowed, and his lips pressed into a tight, furious line as he stormed into the room, the tension in his body unmistakable.“Grandfather,” Alejandro greeted, his voice tight, barely masking his rage. “What’s this about?”Quickly, she scrambled to her feet, heart pounding, and brushed off her skirt. She opened her mouth to speak, to explain herself, but th

Without sparing a second glance at Rene, Jessica stormed out of the office, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she clenched her fists at her sides. HHer mind was racing, fury bubbling just beneath the surface as she thought, 'Fired? Just like that? I don't think so."As she reached the elevator, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. She was going to fix this. She knew exactly where to go.The elevator doors opened, and Jessica stepped inside, tapping the button for the executive floor. A plan was already forming in her head. She knew how to play her cards right... after all, she had been working in this family’s empire long enough to know how things worked.When the elevator dinged on the executive floor, Jessica straightened her posture, letting her face soften into a look of vulnerability. She walked briskly to Carlo’s secretary’s desk, her expression shifting from anger to desperation.“Hi, I need to speak with Mr. Rossi. It’s urgent,” Jessica said, her vo
The son of a billionaire in disguise “Says who?”
The doors of Rossi Enterprises slid open with a soft hiss, and in walked Rene. He wore a sharp black suit, perfectly tailored to his lean frame, with a crisp white shirt and no tie, giving him a mix of sophistication and rebellion. His dark hair was swept back neatly, and there was an effortless swagger in his step. But what really turned heads was the guy trailing behind him—a cocky-looking dude with dead eyes, like he had seen too much and cared too little. His expression screamed "try me," and his hands were casually tucked into his pockets. Whispers started almost immediately as René strode through the lobby.“Is that… Maria's husband?”“That’s Kia. You know, the guy who-”“Yeah, I heard. He destroyed the Lelands last night... used Mr. Gunnar to get them down on their knees.”“Wait, isn’t he taking over Alejandro’s position? How did that even happen?”As their faint whispers brushed against his ears, René’s lips curved into the faintest hint of a smirk, like he knew exactly wha

Monday9:00 A.MAs his eyes hardened, Alejandro slammed the drawer shut, stuffing the last of his files into a black leather briefcase. The faint sound of his office door opening went unnoticed until the hurried click of heels caught his attention. "Morning boss... What's going on?" his assistant, Jessica, asked, her voice laced with concern. She stopped in the doorway, eyes wide, taking in the sight of her usually composed boss in the middle of packing his things. “Are you… leaving?”Reaching for another folder, Alejandro didn’t look up immediately, but the scowl on his face deepened. “It’s happening,” he muttered darkly. “That lowlife, that nobody, is taking my position.”As her brows drew together, Jessica’s heart sank. She had heard whispers in the office, but to see it unfold like this, right in front of her, made the situation all too real. "Kia?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. "Yeah, my so-called cousin-in-law," Alejandro spat, throwing another folder into his bri

The soft hum of the air conditioner filled the room as Juan paced back and forth in his study, his hands clasped behind his back. His children... Princess, Alejandro, José, Luis, and Luca sat in various states of boredom or concern around the long table. The dim lighting cast shadows across the study, making the atmosphere feel heavier than usual.Suddenly, Juan stopped, turning to face them. "You all understand what happened last night, right?"Princess, leaning lazily against the armrest of her chair, rolled her eyes as she let out, "Yeah, Dad, we get it. Kia embarrassed the Lelands, and now everyone’s acting like he’s some kind of genius.""Exactly," Juan replied, his voice carrying a tinge of frustration. "And if Father can take Alejandro’s position in the family and just hand it over to someone like Kia, what does that mean for the rest of us?"Alejandro, who had been sitting quietly in the corner with his arms crossed, looked up sharply. His jaw was tight, and his eyes glinted

In the dimly lit study of the Rossi mansion, Jason, Antonio, Layla, and Bianca sat in tense silence, each of them processing the events of the previous night. The air felt tense with the weight of their unspoken thoughts, their faces betraying a mix of shock and uncertainty.Antonio sat at his desk, fingers drumming against the wood, his mind racing as he tried to piece together the next step. Across from him, Jason leaned casually in his chair, his eyes sharp and calculating, while Layla sat beside him, her expression unreadable. Bianca, meanwhile, slouched in an armchair near the window, her brows furrowed in frustration.Finally, it was Bianca who broke the silence, her voice tinged with bitterness. “Well, now that Kia doesn’t have Mr. Gunnar’s protection, he’s no threat anymore. We don’t have to worry about him.”Her words were met with a sharp glare from both Jason and Antonio. Jason shifted in his seat, his gaze hardening as he turned toward his sister.“Bianca,” he said, his to
The son of a billionaire in disguise Two options
The morning sun filtered through the soft curtains of the Rossi mansion, casting a warm glow across the master bedroom. Mr. Rossi sat on the edge of the bed, his brow furrowed, fingers tapping restlessly against his knee. He hadn’t slept much after the events of the previous night. Madam Rossi, still in her silk robe, sat at the vanity, brushing her hair. She glanced at her husband, noticing the tension in his posture, the way he seemed lost in thought.“They’re not home yet, are they... Maria and Kia?” Mr. Rossi asked, his voice low, though it held an edge of concern.His wife paused for a moment, setting down her brush before turning to face him. “No, they’re not,” she replied calmly, though there was a hint of curiosity in her voice. She noticed the way his shoulders were stiff, the way his fingers had stilled their tapping and now pressed into his palms.She frowned slightly, studying him. “What’s on your mind?” she asked, her tone soft.Mr. Rossi sighed deeply, running a hand
