Jake spat out the food that was in his mouth, choking on the remaining, he grabbed water and gulped down.“You want what?” He asked as if he had just heard an absurd thing. “You seem surprised.” Ashley responded.“Well, I am. I just got out of a tight marriage. I'm not planning on entering one, not after the trauma I went through in the hands of that woman,” he said“Look, I understand your reasons but that wouldn't stop you from getting married. I'm growing old and I want great grandchildren.” Ashely said, trying to talk sense into his grandson, but Jake was adamant.“I need time to heal, probably like four years…” he exaggerated“Is that after I die? Come on now son. All I'm saying is, you're the next in line for inheritance, sure, but you still need a successor because they're people after us,” he explained cautiously.“You keep saying that but I don't see anybody coming. And even if they do, we're rich and ward them off with a single snap of the fingers,” Jake gestured his finger

The waiter tried to free his hands but all his struggle was futile as Jake was way stronger than him. “Let go of my arms,” the waiter whined but Jake only pressed tightly against his wrist.“This is your last warning..” he said in a low growl close to the waiter's ear, momentarily, the waiter felt goosebumps running through his body. The waiter nodded his head like an agama lizard and Jake let go of his arms.As the waiter retreated his wrist, it was already bright red and arched like crazy.“I'm sorry,” he bowed and apologized before walking away, embarrassed. Jake sat back in his seat and continued eating the food the waiter had brought. He ate as if nothing had happened even though there were lots of eyes on him.“You're tough,” a female voice said beside him. He never realized the lady beside him up until now…“Pardon?”“That was brave or should I say stupid. You know they're people here who can send you right to jail if you disrupt their gathering,” she spoke freely, sipping a g

“What are you here for? Have you come to see if you will be offered a job? Or eat the leftovers?” she spat. She was still angry with him for humiliating her boyfriend, Vincent in front of everyone the last time. However, she had confidence in one thing. Vincent had assured her that he only needed two days to sort things out and put Jake in his lowly place again. “Any of the above can serve,” Jake retorted and made to walk past her but she blocked his way. He observed her discreetly and he could see how much she had invested in coming for this occasion. She was flamboyantly dressed and everything she was wearing was costly. He almost felt intimidated but he recalled that her wealth was nothing compared to his. “So, why are you leaving so soon? Are you scared that I'm here to give you the punishment you deserve?” “I thought you were smarter than this. Kindly move out of my way. I have more jobs to handle,” Jake answered. When he said that, Sky burst into a loud laughter. She thought

After Jake left the ceremony, he took a public transport to his grandfather's house and walked the remaining distance where public transport wasn't allowed to drive in. He made a mental note to move into his own house in no time. He lay on his huge comfortable bed, eating an apple with a huge and content smile on his face. It was at this time that his phone rang. He sprang up immediately and wanted to answer the call before reality hit him that he was no longer the Jake of old. Back then, he didn't waste any time to answer his phone calls because they were all errand calls that he didn't dare miss or delay. He slid his hands over the screen and an angry voice boomed.“Hey you! You have two minutes to be at Donald's restaurant. Now is your opportunity to get your job back. Two minutes or you will be dead!” the manager finished and cut the call. The response of the other person didn't matter to him. The manager had said he had two minutes to be there. Well, jokes on him for he was goi

There was a momentary silence before everyone burst into laughter. “Pay for the shirt?”“Has this poor boy lost his mind?”“Oh! He's tired of living.”“I need to watch this drama. Let's take a video. Gosh!”When it was Sky's turn to speak, she said,“Pay for what? You should be grateful I helped you get rid of your dirty rags. Now, my hands hurt. Get your silly ass down and apologize to me for earlier. And I might forgive you!”The onlookers took it up again. “The young Miss of the Kent family is so nice. She just offered to forgive this man. He's so lucky.”“I love her already! She has a magnanimous heart. She should just throw him into prison for his misconducts. Now, he knows his place and has lost his tongue.”“Thirty seconds more,” Jake said coldly. “He still has the nerves! Jake? Are you mad? Where's the manager of this hotel? How can this happen? This is an insult at its peak. Oh no!” Sky wailed. The young man from earlier who was watching the scene and eager to be Sky's fr

In the past, Jake would shake like a leaf at the mention of the name, Brown. But as the heir to the Fredrick Conglomerate, the brown family was nothing to him. They were even under the primary companies owned by the Fredrick Conglomerate. “I see that you are tired of being a member of an affluent family.”Waving his phone before him, Jake went on to ask calmly,“Want to see what if feels like to have your family in ruins?”“You will not dare to do that, you scumbag!” Don cursed. Jake looked at him and shook his head. This young man needed to be thought some sense but not today. He was a first time offender and he wasn't part of the people Jake had come for. “It's going to be a matter of time,” Jake replied and thrusting his hands into his pocket, he walked away calmly. When he had walked a few meters away from the restaurant and had gotten to a safe distance, he waited for his driver to come and pick him up. He got in and was driven home. He was back to his comfortable bed in his
Ashes to Acclaim: Revenge Of The Forgotten Heir Nineteen
Morning had finally come and Jake put on his bath robe and made for the bathroom. He stopped in front of the mirror and looked at himself. It seemed he had put on some weight. Well, that was inevitable since he rested more and ate well now. He didn't look like a CEO just yet but he had plans to look like one in no time. It was not yet time to tell the world that he was the heir. He finished with his routine in the bathroom and took out one of his shirts from the wardrobe. It was one of those he bought at the boutique the last time he was there. Although it wasn't screaming class and luxury, it was decent and clean enough for the outing. It was at this point that Jake noticed his necklace wasn't on his neck. Where did I drop it?This necklace was the only thing his mother and father left him. According to the sisters in the orphanage, that chain was on his neck when he was found and he had treasured it since then. He closed his eyes and tried to remember the last time he saw the neck

“I want to see your manager,” Jake demanded. He was rich now and would not allow his employees that look down on the poor and treat them the way he was treated in the past years. Having said that, Jake walked into the restaurant and sat down on the nearby table. The waiter followed him and knelt before him. He knew what it meant to be reported to the manager especially by someone who had a platinum card! “Forgive me sir. I overstepped my boundary. I promise, it will never happen again. I'll treat all customers with great respect. Please, forgive me sir,” he pleaded. “The menu,” Jake responded.“Thank you sir. Thank you sir. I will never disappoint you again,” he pledged his loyalty. “You are getting a salary cut. That will teach you a lesson,” Jake thought inwardly as he marked the man's ID number. “Sir, please, there's a place reserved for the platinum customers sir. Please…” the waiter began but Jake had no time for that. “Serve the food here.”He was in a hurry and didn't have
