ALL I LOST : THE FIRST HEIR

Chapter 04

He had found himself in similar situations before, where the people recognizes him, but he has no memory of them.

In reality, these people recognize the real Alonso Montez, the dead son of the man who saved him.

Alonso was grateful to the man for saving him and allowing him to have his son's identity since he couldn’t recall his, but it was torture to him.

He had lost his memory of his past life before his accident, and now he moves about with the face of a man he knows nothing about

This was a major reason he left the city where he lived with the man until his demise and hoped that no one finds him, but here we are now, someone from the past he couldn’t recognize

“Anyway, we attended the same university, the one for only the bourgeoisie kids, but you were lucky to get in because of the smart brain which gave you a scholarship. Recall now?”

This Alonso certainly had no memory of it, but smiled and agreed to the story

“Forgive my manners, I think I am beginning to recall now,” he said with a smirk

“Funny enough you never graduated with us why?” she asked curiously

“you know for someone in your class, you knew a lot about me and I wonder why?” Alonso asked, trying every means to avoid answering that question.

What was he going to say? Yes, I died that’s why I didn’t graduate.

“As I said, I don’t need any money from you. But there is something else you have that I want” Perry said as she also tried to avoid the question

“what could a billionaire possibly need from a low life like me? I am really curious” Alonso asked, with his eyes wide open

“I want you to be my husband,” Perry said in a low tone, as her eyes widened, longing for Alonso's response

Alonso jerked as he tried to control his laughter. He cover his mouth with both hands but the thought of what Perry said made him lose his grip and let it all out

“what is funny?”Perry questioned with sudden anger in her voice

“what you said of cause. How can I be your husband? Me of all men?And your brother…”

“stepbrother” Perry retorted, which made the whole environment quiet for a while

“just accept and leave everything to me. My brother has no choice but to accept whom I choose to be my groom” Perry said, as she dipped her hands in her bag and got her phone.

Alonso could not believe what he just heard, it seems like his life was going from zero to a hundred quickly and he had no idea why.

But on second thought, he felt like this was a set-up. Why would a powerful, beautiful, and classy goddess want a low life like him to be her husband?

“what is the catch if I accept your offer?” Alonso questioned

“Nothing much, you just have to play the role of a good husband, be on my side one hundred percent, listen and do whatever I say and I mean everything. I heard loyalty isn't a problem for you that was why I picked you.”

“what! What do you mean by pick me?” he asked but as expected was ignored

“And also, you don’t have to pay the five thousand dollars again, and also get an extra five million dollars ($5,000,000)” she added

Everything felt like a dream and he loved it, but then again he knew this was too good to be true. He was just been used again and this was something he was already used to.

Despite the joy he experienced, he also had this odd feeling that asked him to decline the offer, but in his condition, only a madman would turn down such an offer, he surely would still have his woman if he had half the money he is being offered.

He had no jobs and literally no money, as he spent all on a very expensive necklace for a girl, who rejected it. Thinking of the necklace he didn’t take it back from Lyra and can’t get a refund now, the thought pissed him off.

“I accept your offer, when can we start, and when do I get paid?” he said. Perry didn’t flinch or smile at the thought that he accepted, as she anticipated he would.

“Just be at the address I will give to you by two o’clock P.M. tomorrow, and for your pay, call your account details,” Perry said as she made a transfer to Alonso, and quietly placed her phone down

“what the fuck!” Alonso yelled as he wanted to jump out of the car in excitement.

He had never seen such an amount in his name before and felt it was a dream

“look like a man deserving to be called my husband tomorrow with that money,” Perry said as Alonso alighted from the car and watched them zoom off.

The thought of Lyra flooded Alonso’s mind as he walked home. All the beautiful moments they shared together were now history and he felt like he could now compete with James as he got the alert of two million dollars, out of the five million promised

But then the name Montillo came to his mind and he dreaded the thought of choosing Lyra over Miss. Montillo, that would be so foolish of him, but then again love can make a man make choices he ordinarily wouldn’t but being broke and abused would make them think straight and this was the case with Alonso.

After a long walk, he finally arrived at the little dilapidated apartment he managed while he got Lyra a luxurious one he couldn’t comfortably afford.

The building had grown too weary and everyone who lived in it knew it was bound to fall someday, and it eventually did collapse while he was still in prison, and he wasn’t able to retrieve anything.
