“Ryker! Ryker!” “Oh! not again” Ryker mumbled with a grimace on his face, as he dropped the santoku knife he was using to cut a bunch of carrots. He wanted to ignore the call but hell no he couldn’t. Madam Elizabeth is someone you must not ignore unless you’re in deep love with punishment. Ryker could swear that Elizabeth was trying all her possible best for him not to prepare lunch on time. He knew the consequences of not serving lunch in the dining at exactly 2 pm, especially when Jenny, her only daughter who always took his side was not around.Among the Gatewoods, Jenny was the only nicest among them. She was calm, kind-hearted, sweet, and extremely beautiful. The kind of girl every man would cling on.

He gave A Thousand and Five Hundred dollars to his grandma, Three Thousand to Sandra, and kept just Five Hundred for himself. He did every

“Is this a Joke?” Ryker thought to himself. It seemed like a joke or better still a dream. He couldn’t call it a prank because it was way too expensive to call it a prank so it was better concluded to be a dream.How in the world is he an heir to a trillion-dollar company? An ordinary house boy who was trying to fit into the world. It was too good to be true. Even though it was coming from the most powerful man in the world, it was hard to take in.“I know it’s difficult to take in” Lord Hunter brought him out of his thought “But that’s your true identity, who you are. You’re not destined to be a loser or someone who can’t make it in life, No!” He nodded his head in disagreement.“Your future had been written and documented to be the next heir of Acme Corporations”“No no no no, I don’t want to hear that” Ryker stood up angrily waving his hand at Lord Hunter who was still seated. “This is all a mistake or a mix-up.
