The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 51


    Both Alice and Darius looked up at the person who walked up to their table. Darius had a calm


    expression when he saw the person, but the same couldn‘t be said for Alice. Her eyes were as wide as


    saucers.

    The person who walked up to their table was Michael Finn, the sole heir of the Finn conglomerate!


    Michael Finn was Alice‘s ssmate in high school two years ago. Back in their high school, Michael


    Finn was a very popr figure. He always had tons of people looking up to him and following him


    about. He was handsome, intelligent and rich, so it was no wonder that many people wanted to be his


    friend.


    Alice on the other hand was not so rich. She never even believed herself to be in his level so she didn‘t


    pay attention to him.


    However, rumors started flying that Michael was interested in Alice. Alice thought it to be a lie as she


    didn’t have anything to offer him, but when she heard that he rejected the advances of several of her


    schoolmates, she started having wild thoughts. Few weekster, Michael asked her to be his girlfriend


    in front of the whole student body. Being the na?ve high school girl she was, she epted his proposal


    and became his girlfriend. Unfortunately for her, that was the beginning of her nightmares. Michael Finn


    came from a very established household, where he was pampered and treated as a king, therefore he


    was very possessive. Only three days into their rtionship, he forbade her from speaking to any of her


    male school mates. Anytime she was caught disobeying his rule, the male in question would suddenly


    withdraw from the school, and nothing would be heard about him anymore. When her male friends and


    school mates heard Michael‘s rule, they steered clear from her, isting her. All of them refused to talk


    to them anymore, afraid of bringing Michael‘s wrath on themselves. It was a dark period of time for


    Alice.


    Just when she thought it couldn‘t get any worse, he gave her a new rule that forbade her from talking to


    her female friends. She was only allowed to talk to him and him alone.


    The worst thing was that there was no one Alice could turn to for help. Her parents had died in a car


    ident, leaving her alone in the world with her younger brother who was still too young. She had tried


    asking her teachers and the police for help, but because the Finn conglomerate was a powerful one,


    they refused to offer her help. Left with no choice, with the little insurance her parents left her with after


    their death, she got on a ne with her younger brother and left with no intention ofing back.


    However what she didn‘t expect was that after two years, she would meet the person who once gave


    her nightmares on her date with Darius. While she was still staring at Michael with wide eyes, Michael


    spoke up, jolting her out of her reverie.


    “It‘s been a while hasn’t it Alice?” Michael said; his eyes scanning Alice over as he spoke. It

    had only been two years since hest saw her after her departure, yet she was even prettier than she


    was two years ago. If she was just a budding seed two years ago, she was now a fully blossomed


    flower.


    His eyes burned with passion as he saw how innocent Alice looked and he could feel his


    possessiveness over her resurfacing.


    Back then when she left him without so much as a goodbye, he nearly went mad with rage. Of course


    being the sole heir of a conglomerate, he naturally knew where Alice ran to. However he was instructed


    not to chase after her by the Patriarch of the Finn conglomerate, so despite his intentions, he had no


    choice but to obey. He had been incredibly busy after she left, as he was trying to further elevate the


    status of the Finn conglomerate. Before he became involved in the family business, he always believed


    his family to be invincible; but that mindset changed when he became actively involved in the family


    business. It turned out that there were various families that were more powerful than he could even


    fathom. There were so many of them who could squash the Finn conglomerate with so much as the


    snap of a finger. The Finn conglomerate were not even worthy of being mentioned beside them.


    Due to that reason, he channeled all his ambitious spirit towards elevating the Finn conglomerate.


    Nheless, despite his busy schedule, he still did not forget about Alice. His desire for her still burned


    fiercely in his heart. He had made up his mind to see her when he was done with his business. Who


    would have thought that he would be meeting her here today? “Hi Michael.” Alice said; trembling as


    she spoke. Even after two years, the trauma that Michael inflicted on her had yet to fade. “Do you know


    him?” a clear voice suddenly spoke up. Michael then turned to the direction of the voice. When he saw


    Darius sitting calmly and staring at him nonchntly, his possessive attitude red up.


    “Who is he?” Michael asked; his voice incredibly cold.


    Alice trembled when she heard his voice. It was the same voice that gave her sleepless nights and


    various nightmares. The memories of her rtionship with Michael came flooding back. One of his


    rules was that she was never allowed to disobey him. Therefore as if programmed like a robot, she


    immediately answered his question. “He‘s my friend Darius.” Alice answered.


    Darius frowned when Alice answered Michael‘s question. He looked at Alice and was about to


    condemn her when he noticed her trembling. Not only that, she was fidgeting with one of the rings she


    wore on her index finger. It was almost as if she was terribly afraid of something.


    “A friend?” Michael asked, his voice even getting colder.


    “Get up. We‘re leaving now.” Michael ordered. He paid no heed to Darius‘ presence andpletely


    ignored him. Alice stood up involuntarily and smiled apologetically to Darius. She was about to speak


    when


    Darius beat her to it.


    “What do you think you are doing Alice?” Darius asked in an eerily calm voice. Michael scowled when


    he heard Darius question. However he maintained his silence. He deemed Darius as inferior to him and


    didn‘t want to have a conversation of any kind with him. He had been with Alice in the past and


    knowing her, she would surely agree to leave with him. Alice smiled apologetically again. “Michael and I


    have a bit of past, so I‘m sure he just wants to catch up. I‘m sorry to end the date like this. I‘ll make it up


    to youter I promise.” Alice said. “Alice let‘s go.” Michael urged her impatiently.


    Darius spoke up again as Alice was about to leave with Michael. His voice was incredibly dangerous


    this time, sending shivers down their spines. “I‘ll ask again. What exactly do you think you‘re doing,


    Alice?”
