The weather seemed to be part of the grand plan to humiliate Alarick further because immediately he stepped out of the hotel, it began to rain. Or maybe the weather wasn’t actually mocking him, maybe the sky was actually weeping for him because of the humiliation he just endured. Whichever way, he loathed getting soaked, but at the same time, he was glad for the rain because it concealed his tears from passers by that were running to take cover to avoid being wet. He was soaked from head to toe and he was beginning to shiver, but none of it could be compared to how he felt inside. Ashamed, Disgraced, Humiliated, Dejected, these were words he could use to describe how he was feeling but they all seemed so paltry.He was so dazed that he didn’t realise that he had walked all the way from the hotel to the mansion till he saw the gates of the Blythe mansion up ahead. At least he had saved the cab fare, it was literally all he had left, he was basically penniless. He regretted spending his

After contemplating for a few minutes, Alarick decided to go with the man. Even if it turned out that the man was mistaken and he wasn’t truly the heir, at least he would have a roof over his head this night. It was better than sleeping outside in the cold. He could also try and convince them to give him a job, even if he had to be a janitor. Deep down, he wished it would be true that this trillionaire was his father, but at the same time, he didn’t want to get his hopes up. The man led him to where his car was parked and Alarick’s eyes widened. Jonathan chuckled when he saw Alarick’s expression.“This car was a gift to me from my boss, your father.” Jonathan said.The car was the latest model and only three had been produced in the world. Alarick knew this because his father-in-law, Bruce Blythe had been so angry when the car came out and he couldn’t afford it even though he was rich. Yet, this man who seemed to be a butler or driver was given this car as a gift. Wow!They both got i

The next day, he spent most of it looking around the estate. The place was huge, ten times bigger than the Blythe mansion. Where he had slept last night could not even be called a bedroom, it was like a royal chamber in a palace, and he had an entire wing of the house to himself. His main sleeping chamber was almost three times the size of his former room in the Blythe mansion, and his bathroom had the latest technology installed, he didn’t even have to dry himself after bathing even though there were towels. All he would have to do was to step on to the body drier and his wet body would be dry in just a few minutes.His balcony had a pool, and a separate Jacuzzi in case of cold nights, and the gadgets in his room could be operated by the use of specific gestures, controlled by a button, or through his voice that had been programmed into the system that morning. For example, if he clapped twice, the lights would either turn off or on, if he pressed one of the remotes in his room, the

"Is that you, street rat? Look how low you've fallen. It's only been two days and you look like shit." Brianna said with a sneer as she held her lover, Lucian Pasteli . Lucian smiled and Alarick could feel the anger bubbling inside him once he remembered what this man did to him, but he decided to be calm."What do you want?" Alarick asked calmly.There was no need to cause a scene when they were both beneath him now. Lucian rolled his eyes and tapped his fingers on the car door as he spoke."You know you should have really reconsidered this whole divorce thing. We both know it won't do you any good. When you're done pouting you'll go back and grovel at Brianna's feet like the beggar you are." "Bold of you to think that I would beg this woman to take me back after everything she did to me. You can keep her since apparently that's what you’re into. Enjoy having my leftovers."Lucian gripped the door tightly. His knuckles turned white as he imagined Alarick’s head between his hands. Ho

CHAPTER 10It had been a week since Alarick had been announced as the heir to the King fortune. Since then, he had been attending meetings, functions and various interviews to show that he had accepted his new role. He had meetings with board members and major investors in the company, active and silent members, and managers of key sectors in the King's empire.The media had carried the story of the broke ex-husband becoming a rich trillionaire overnight. They went wild dragging the Blythe name through the mud. Everyone speculated on who was in the wrong and the public was torn between believing the family they already knew, and the new heir. The news was scandalous and the Blythes hadn’t made a statement yet making them look even more guilty. Add that to the fact that Alarick was being featured in almost every magazine and news outlet in the country. He was on basically every front page, and had already been voted most eligible bachelor, even though he hadn't handled the company for
