The mere mention of Joel Brown Winston was beginning to creep under his enemies skin. The news about the Winston Empire being passed to a young heir was making rounds. Those close to the Winston Family knew Joel was the heir everyone is talking about. Meanwhile, others unaware of the happenings within the Winston Empire were eager to discover who the heir was. The biggest surprise to everyone was that the trillion-dollar conglomerate had never gone bankrupt contrary to what was believed years ago. Joel had to make a broadcast statement by 5 pm announcing his succession. Before that, he had an important task to deal with. At the other end, the Billionaires Club was watching Joel closely. They were furious about what he had done to their members, especially Xavier, a senior member of the club. "What do you say we do now about Joel Brown, the new heir to the Winston Empire?" the president of the club, asked. He didn’t want to waste any more time. As soon as the members on the rou

Joel stormed into his grandfather's room. He sees some of the staff surrounding his grandfather's bed. Upon seeing him. They all made way for him to come in. His heart was heavy, every step he took towards his grandfather was him struggling not to break down. His only family was gone…the legendary Business Grandmaster was no more. Few years ago he was shocked when he heard about his parents death on the news. The helicopter crash that took his parents life was that one incident that changed his life forever. Becoming an heir to a trillion-dollar empire when he was still learning the basics in business wasn't easy on him. The burden on him was too much. He had to be a fast learner to survive in the corporate world and to make his grandfather proud. Joel touched his grandfather's hand in his. It felt so cold. His father laid there without moving "Albert!" He yelled his grandfather's secretary's name, fighting back the tears that stung his eyes, "Damn it! Where are you, Albert

Joel joined Xavier as soon as he reached his company. "What are you doing here?" Joel barked. He wasn't in the mood to entertain any visitor yet. Xavier was the last person he wanted to see. "Ouch…I feel hurt. You shouldn't be yelling at me like that. I'm just a guest" Xavier had a mischievous grin across his face. "I only came to pay my respects, you know." Joel almost punched Xavier on his face but Albert, who was also with them, stopped him right on time. The two hefty men serving as Xavier's body guard stepped forward to protect their master. "You should have had the decency to come to face me after his funeral. You can't deceive me because I know what this visit is all about. You're here to laugh." "Ahhh…" Xavier's hand flew to cover his mouth, pretending to be shocked. "How did you know that? Actually, the Billionaire club will miss your father and his legacy. He was our rival. Sympathizing with you in a way that doesn't show our true feelings is only hypocritical.

Joel didn't want to think too much about the Brotherhood cult or Billionaires Club. They were the least of his problems. His marriage was on fire and whoever killed his father I'd walk free. Suspecting his wife was already giving sleepless nights and banging headaches. He shook his head as a thought popped in his head. Something was going on behind the scenes. Why was everyone trying to take him under their wing?If he were to ever join the Billionaires club he was sure that the Brotherhood wouldn't seat silent. Joel dropped into the leather seat. He decided he would just tidy up his grandfather's desk and clear out anything that's unimportant. That's his best bet for keeping his mind from wandering to places he didn't want to go. He began by emptying the drawers on the left side of the desk. When he was done sorting the papers and separating the important files from the unimportant ones, he returned them back into the drawer.He turned to the right side and in the first drawer he

Joel stormed through the doors of the Winston Estate, his mind reeling with shock and anger. The revelation that his wife, Anna, was the daughter of a Mexican mafia lord and had hidden her identity from him felt like a betrayal. He couldn't believe it. Not after what they have been through together. To him she was just a simple beautiful Mexican lady he fell in love with. His wife's sudden transition from a simple lady to a notorious mafia's daughter was making him lose his mind. He moved in the direction of the study. He couldn't believe the woman he loved and trusted could deceive him so deeply.As he entered his study, his secretary, Albert, approached him with a sad expression. "Sir, I'm afraid I have some terrible news."Joel's heart sank further. "What is it, Albert? I'm just getting back from seeing my wife and I'm not in a good mood right now. If you know that this isn't terrible-terrible , then give me some space."Albert bowed and boldly took a step forward. "The cl
