Ashes to Acclaim: Revenge Of The Forgotten Heir Thirty Nine
Jake spent the following day crouching over files and studying them. Despite his numerous visits to their different companies, he still haven't covered up to one tenth of the companies he owned. He was going through the files as his grandfather insisted and Richard was there to help him if need be. By evening, he decided to take a break. Then he recalled that there was a get together the following day. He went to his wardrobe and picked out a shirt and trousers. They were not very fashionable but they were decent and good looking. He gave them to one of the household servants and ordered her to dry clean the clothes. The D-day for the gathering was finally here. Jake got dressed in the outfit he had picked the previous day. His driver was dutifully waiting for him downstairs. “Good morning, Mr Frederick. Which car are we going in, sir?”“Get the Bugatti,” Jake responded. The driver, Ken, did as he was told and drove the Bugatti out of the garage. Jake got in and the journey began.

“Did you not hear? He's been kicked out of the family,” another clarified. “Hahaha. Who knows, as a pathetic fellow, he must have gone to beg them for the car after they made it big in the last exhibition.”“Right! That's very true. You have a point there.”Jake heard them clearly but he didn't utter a word. He would speak, but not now, he had no time for these small frys. He made his way into the room and sat down on a seat. The event started and the noisy boys outside came inside. There were already listed and lines up activities for the day and they all began. Nearly all the guys were richly dressed and even the girls. As the day wore on, Elvis got audience and asked,“Where's our Honda accord driver?” He said this in a loud voice and everyone laughed. They all turned in Jake's direction. “Oh. There he is, having the best meal of his life,” Elvis continued. “I’m reminded of those days when Jake delivered my gifts to my girlfriend from Lily high,” one guy from Springton Univers

This time, Jake could not lie low. His facial expression changed to one filled with rage and fury and his eyes blood shot. How dare that slimy bastard empty his plate of food on him? He could keep calm for their taunts and insults but definitely not this one. While everyone was staring, waiting to see Jake's reaction, over ninety percent expected him to kneel before Kelvin and beg for mercy, so that he does not deal with him even more. Contrary to their expectations, Jake stood up and grabbed Kelvin by the collar. He gave him a slap and stretched his hands towards another plate of food on the table. He too emptied it on Kelvin. This happened in few seconds and by the time the onlookers recovered, Kelvin was drenched in Korean sauce while dropped down his face and onto his impeccable suit and white shirt. “What?”“Jake? Do you want to die?”“Have you lost your mind?”“Oh dear. Jake had better said his last prayers now.”“Great. Now, Kelvin will deal with that low life once and for al

The bouncers pointed at the three men and Alberto's men went for them immediately. With a dirty slap, they sent the three of them sprawled on the floor. Jake touched his face and saw there was blood on it. He raised his hands and called out to Alberto.“Ahhh. There's blood on the young master. They will pay for it ten folds. Pray, young master, don't escalate the issue. I will handle it, please.”Alberto gave more orders to his men to beat the four boys as well as the bouncers to pulp. Bones were cracked, faces were disfigured and they men yelled pleaded for mercy. Jake took out his phone again and sent a text to Richard. “Get rid of Mr Presley of Medo Hall company right now!”A minute later, he received a text from Richard,“Done sir!”Jake put his phone back into his pocket and smiled to himself. “Never in your lives will you all mess with me.”He went out of the hall and got to the back where Alberto and his men were dealing with the culprits. When Alberto saw him, he asked,“S

“It's a certain handsome man with the last name Rang. He's said to be a foreigner because it was his bank account that was used to make the payment for the purchasing of the company. We will find him in the near future!”Jake heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't caught. He had made a smart move when he asked Richard to make the payment for that company with a legal business name. “That's great. Soonest the man would be found and you will thank him in person,” he intoned. “That's right. I need to thank him so much for elevating me. He's my benefactor and that reminds me, my dear friend. In two weeks, everything will be ready and I'll have the right to assign roles. Send in your CV so that I'll put you in the list for the qualified workers. You know that you are a graduate and deserve a better job too!”“Oh right. I'll do that as soon as I get home, thank you very much,” Jake responded but he knew that he would definitely come up with an excuse. He couldn't trouble his friend to give h

Jake sent for his driver and instructed him to drive him to a well known hotel in the state. It happened that this hotel was owned by him, it was one of the companies under the Frederick conglomerate. He wanted to relax and enjoy a beautiful view. He got to the hotel and went straight to the VIP swimming pool. He took out his headphones, sat down and enjoyed both the music and the beautiful waters. “Tsk Tsk! Is this the cleaner or janitor? Hey! Who let you into this place?” Jake heard someone say. He opened his eyes and saw a neatly and smartly dressed young man. “Aha. It's you, poor thing? How did you crawl in here? You must have been sent here to clean and you ended up enjoying the VIP corner. Now, get out before I call the corps you fool!” This man's name is Liam and he and Jake were enemies. The reason was very simple. Liam had always had a huge crush on Sky, she was beautiful, smart and was from a rich family. In fact, she was the Kent family heiress, who would not love her? B

“You are going to hear from me today. In your next life, you will not dare offend me!” Liam screamed. He went in and asked for a towel from the life guards. He came out with the towel and kept pacing to and fro, waiting for his men to arrive and beat the hell out of Jake. But the next time he looked at the entrance, he saw able bodied young men coming in his direction. And they pulled along a middle aged man whom he could recognise at any time. His father! This was a man who was feared and respected in Shawlands. Yet, he was held by some riff raffs.“Hey! How dare you…” he began but was cut short with a slap from one of the men. “Shut up your mouth. And you better kneel and apologize right now!” “What? I will never! Wait. My men are coming and you will be the ones to get on your knees! Do you know who I am? Goodness gracious. What insolence!” he continued. “Dad! Why will they keep you here? Are they mad? Do they know who you are?”“Quiet or I'll have you slapped again,” the man thr

There was someone else who was angry with Jake's existence. That person was Amelia. This useless son in law of hers had outsmarted her and stolen her company from her. There was no way in hell she was going to let him get away with it. It didn't matter to her that he had gotten the best lawyers in the country to sign and seal the document. She was going to get the company back in her own way. She recalled the stunned look on her children's faces that day she announced that the company had been bought by another person. Everything came rushing to her memory as if it happened that day. “Mum! What happened in there? How can you say that someone else has bought the company? After all our hardwork and effort to get this exhibition put together. The proceeds alone would have made us one of the top five wealthy families!” Josie cried. “I'm sorry. It was unexpected but I will do my best to get the company back,” she promised. “Get it back? How do you intend to do that? We have already los

Jake was seated with his mother in his car. Luckily for him, her surgery went well and she had fully recovered now. She lived with him for sometime before Jake insisted on getting her own house. “You deserve the best, mother. Let me give you that life. You've been through a lot,” he had said. He got her a house, had it furnished and employed household servants to be at her beck and call. They had just finished his grandfather's funeral. It had taken a lot of time to convince his mother to attend his funeral. According to her, there was no need coming to the funeral of someone who wanted her dead. She said she was only coming because Jake insisted and she was coming to let him know that she survived all his evil plots and stayed alive while he died. On looking out of his car window, he saw Emelda, standing straight and looking very beautiful. “I'll be right back, mother,” he said to her. He didn't come with a driver because he insisted on driving his mum to the funeral himself. He

While his grandfather was at the hospital, Jake went back to see his mother and in order to convince her to leave with him, he explained everything to her in details. He told her his grandfather was ill and she agreed to follow him out. He sent her to a good hospital where she would receive adequate treatment. She had been through a lot. Jake personally had a driver bring his grandfather's lawyer to the hospital. After the old man woke up, he requested to see his lawyer. His health was deteriorating and he asked Jake to get his lawyer. Jake didn't waste anymore time; he asked his driver to hurry up and pick the lawyer from the firm. Jake was with his grandfather when Attorney Johnson came in. He greeted the lawyer before he left to give them privacy. When Jake re entered his grandfather's ward an hour later, the old man lay on the bed, lifeless! Jake moved closer, expecting to see a familiar smile or a weak but reassuring glance but there was none. Instead, he was met with an eer

Jake hurried to the hospital to see his grandfather and on getting there, he met the doctors who told him that they are doing their best to resuscitate the old man. “He was poisoned. He had consumed a very poisonous substance,” the doctors disclosed. “Poisonous substance? How on earth did that happen?”Jake checked the cameras in the house but there was nothing out of place. The doctors even said the poison had stayed long in his system before it started showing up. As the days went by, his grandfather's health detoriated. There wasn't any improvement and this got Jake even more worried. In as much as his grandfather had kept his mother hostage, he didn't want the man to die. His grandfather had showered him with nothing but love, care and support since the day his men found him in the rain. His mother's condition added to his worries and he was gradually loosing focus. He no longer had enough time to look out for the enemies around him. One day, Jake went to see one of his grandf

“That's a brilliant idea!” Evan agreed.“Are you sure this will work?” Lyle was skeptical about the plan. “It will work perfectly. We only need to meet the right people, play our cards well and boom, we are at the top.”“He's right Lyle. We only need to trust the process. We've been here for over two hours, putting heads together and this is by far the most brilliant and feasible idea. With this, we will all rise to power and get everything Jake took from us and even more. With this too, we will get to bankrupt him and get him back to the poor sorry ass he should be,” Dan explained and Lyle nodded. “How do we find the right person?”“That will not be a problem. I happen to know one of my father's friends who work at J and J legal firms. I'm sure he will be willing to help. We have this taken care of,” Welson answered. “We have a deal now, right?” Aidan asked. “Yes,” they answered with one voice. “Great. Let's drink to celebrate our upcoming success.”They filled their glasses and

With that anger in her heart, Sky swore to deal with Jake. As far as she was concerned, he was bitting more that he could chew. In her fury, she forgot that it was a very wealthy and powerful man she was up to challenge. Sky thought of who to assist her and she recalled that Jake wasn't in Vincent Winters good books. Jake made him lose his inheritance and she was sure he would be willing to do anything to get back at Jake and make him pay for what he did. She met with him and fortunately for her, they had the same mindset. To make Jake pay! In another part of the city, Aidan and his friends were also plotting Jake's downfall. After what happened at the gathering that day, the Frederick family punished them and Jake kept his promise of adding his own too. Each time they recalled what happened, they would want to murder Jake. After that, Jake bankrupted their family companies. He started by making the stock go down slowly then he canceled their projects. Most times, it was these pro

“That woman is evil! All these problems started the very moment Logan introduced her as his wife to be. That Lara, she's yet to pay for her sins. Let her remain there.”Jake's eyes widened as he heard what his grandfather said. His father's name was Logan. Was his grandfather in any way refering to his own mother as evil? What did he mean by she should remain there? Jake recalled his grandfather's response a few months ago when he asked about his mother. Ashley had told him that she too had died and information about her wasn't necessary at that time. No doubt, there was something that he was yet to find out. Jake sneaked out as quickly as he came, he didn't want his grandfather to see him. “Goodness me. How can grandfather be this callous? What?” Jake screamed. He was in his house, going through the papers in front of him. He had someone investigate his mother and the details were before him. It wasn't very easy because Grandfather Ashley was a powerful man who knew how to cover hi

It was an entirely different Jake that stepped out of the bathroom. Clean, fresh, powerful and handsome. No one would even believe he was untidy and dripping of food some minutes ago. His hair was well washed, neatly combed and well styled. His clothes were from the most famous designers and they fitted him as if the clothes were specifically made for him. With Richard and the guards beside him, he walked majestically to the front of the room and bowed politely. Firstly, he apologized for showing up late. “Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues and honoured guests. I want to start by apologising for showing up later than expected. Please, note that it was not a reflection of excitement or my commitment to my new role as the heir, but rather an unexpected circumstance I couldn't avoid. As I stand before you today, I'm honoured to take the reins of power for this incredible conglomerate. Most of your companies are under our conglomerate and I want to assure you that our company's

“Mr Thane!” Dan said when he found his tongue. Mr Richard Thane was a popular man in the country as well as city and was respected by all and sundry. Everyone knew how powerful he was and so, no one wanted to be in his bad books. He could blow up a family and render them bankrupt in few seconds! Aidan was still standing in front of Jake who hadn't left his arm. Instead, Jake twisted it even more painfully.“Are you crazy? Let go! Can't you see Mr Thane here?” Aidan spat.“What's going on?” he repeated firmly, a light frown on his face. Just then, the announcement was made again for the reception of the biggest CEO in the country.“This thing is causing a nuisance and I'm only putting him in his place. He dared to sneak in here and eat our food,” Lyle explained dutifully. Mr Thane turned and looked at the supposed nuisance. Hell no! That can't be his boss dripping of food and wine! He looked like he had been dipped into a pot of soup and was a huge mess. “Young master Frederick!”

Jake hadn't seen that coming, neither did Emelda and the others seated with him. When Aidan stood up, Jake was relieved that he was going to leave with his friends, although he didn't expect it to be that easy. Unfortunately, Aidan had other plans and the next thing Jake knew was that a clear coloured liquid flowed down his face and stung his eyes. His hair and clothes were also stained with spicy food. “What? How can you do that?” Emelda said, staring at Aidan in surprise. This was bully and as far as she was concerned, it was uncalled for. They could have handled the matter in a civilized way and Jake would have to return to his post and face appropriate punishment. Although she was disappointed in Jake, she didn't expect Aidan to take such rash actions. “He deserves even worse than that!” One of the guys on the table offered his unsolicited opinion. To him, Aidan didn't even do anything to Jake. He deserved worse than that. “How can you say that? Waiter, get a towel quick!” Emel
