On the other end, Sasha was watching the news, fondling her phone in her hand, while waiting for Alaric to text back. "It is a big and worthy celebration here at the Wright Empire, as the Board of Directors, and the entire companies constituting the conglomerate heard the shocking announcement of the new CEO of the Wright Empire," the news read."What?" Sasha gasped in shock. "Come over Norton. Come and see the news. The biggest conglomerate in all of California has crowned her new CEO," she called out to Norton."What, honey?" He asked, grumbling, as he walked into the sitting room. He stared at the TV screen in shock, before sitting down next to Sasha."Who is the new CEO? Maybe he must be filthy rich," he inquired."I don't know. The news has not said it yet. I'm sure it must be the biggest shareholder in the company with billions of dollars of assets because that company is definitely on another level. My father tried having a share in the company's stock but was too poor for it,

"I think it's enough for the day. You can have a rest for today," Mrs Wright said, as the night was drawing close."It's still a very long journey. I really wanted to have a nice tour of every single place, but then, since you insist, I will leave. Maybe I can continue tomorrow.""Take your time. Usually, after the processing of legal documents, it is a week to assume office, so you have all the time," she assured. He nodded and turned to Steve."Young Master, it's past work hours. By my watch, it says it's almost 7 o 'clock.""Oh, yeah. We should leave. But how about you Mom? Where are you going to stay?" He asked, concerned."Don't worry about me, son. My entourage will be here to take me to the Villa. You should also come, right?""No," Alaric declined. "I don't want to go to the villa," he said."Why? We can stay together," his mother protested."I want to stay at a hotel for tonight. The Villa is far away from here. We can Lodge at a hotel nearby. You should also come with us, M

Alaric stepped out of the en suite which was connected to the main room. The room was large, and decorated richly, with nice furnishings. Pretty fast how they made the room look so spectacular and exceptional upon his sudden arrival, he thought. He went over and took his phone laying on the bed. There was a message from Kimberly. She had texted him the venue for their meeting, and he knew exactly what was coming towards him. He sensed it. There was a sudden knock on the door, and Alaric permitted the person to come in. It was Steve, with another guard right behind him."I'm sorry if I took a lot of time, Young Master. Here is the outfit you ordered," he said, pointing to the man behind him. The guard raised a package, which contained a shirt, and jeans. "Did you make sure to tell them to give you the one without any branding or whatever?" He asked, before taking the dress to examine it. "Yes, Young Master. I strictly told them as you had commanded, and I am sure they wouldn't

"Come on, Alaric. I don't suspect you of anything, but I just want to know the truth, and that's why I called you here," she said. "You can always defend me if you don't suspect me. Calling me here means that you doubted me. I don't have all the time in the world to speak to you right now, so I think I should leave. Have a good day," he said, taking a step forward before Kimberly stopped him. "Don't go yet, Alaric. I really need this to be cleared once and for all.""I didn't do it, Kimberly. Is that the truth you want to know?" He asked her, turning around, with rage in his eyes. He was becoming angry and wanted to leave immediately. There was nothing Kimberly could do now. He had already put her family on the list of people to eliminate. Now that he owned the Wright Empire, he could do whatever he wanted. "That is what I wanted to hear, Alaric. Just keep in mind that I trust you and will always do.""Is that so? I don't believe it, Kim. As a matter of fact, I believe you have c

"Young Master, is there anywhere else you would want to go? We can drive all the way over to that place," Steve said. Alaric shook his head."Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere else. Don't go back to the hotel. We have to visit my mother at the villa," he said."You want to visit ma'am at the Villa? I thought we already booked the hotel for about…""Don't worry. I don't want them to run out of business, by reserving rooms not even in use. The 20 rooms will be better free. I just want to meet my mother right now. I need to tell her so many things," he said."Alright, young master. As you request, we will go to the villa. It might take about 10-20 minutes before we reach there since this place is far away from the Hotel.""Don't worry. I'm not impatient," Alaric said. Many thoughts run through his mind. How could something like that happen? His enemy, Norton, was the brother of Kimberly's boyfriend! It only meant that nothing would be Kimberly's brother-in-law when she gets married t
