Mary opened the bathroom door for Alexander, revealing what the room he was supposed to freshen up looked like

“Here you go, Alexander.” Mary said, gesturing at the inside of the bathroom “I know it’s smaller than what someone like you is used to but I hope you don’t mind it that much”

Because of the fact that Alexander, without a second thought, was able to give her fifty thousand dollars for her granddaughter’s ransom and also return her granddaughter to her in a luxurious sports car, her impression of him cemented on the idea that he was from a very wealthy family.

As such, it meant that the bathroom he was accustomed to using was massive— at least three times the size of hers— and well-designed, unlike hers which was nothing special.

Now, though she was wrong about thinking that Alexander was from a rich family, her assumption of the type of bathroom he was used to wasn’t wrong because the Dove family servants had rooms and bathrooms better than most people in the general public.

    Once the door closed, Alexander took a deep breath and, for the first time, he realized just how nice the fragrance of the guest bathroom was.“Whatever air conditioner she used, it must have been made from lemongrass essence or something” Alexander commented, liking what he smelled. He looked at the left wall and grabbed the hanger from it.Alexander took his clothes off and then arranged them properly on the hanger. The only thing he refused to add to the hanger was his boxer briefs.He couldn’t have Mary washing those for him as even though the woman was an elderly lady and a mother figure, it still felt embarrassing.He also couldn’t wear them again without first washing them after all he’s done, so he had only one option left.He was going to wash them himself.Next, Alexander grabbed the towel from the wall and wrapped it around his waist, covering his nakedness because what he was about to do was a bit risky.He opened the bathroom door slightly and kept the hanger of clothes

    The aroma of the food Mary was making was what Alexander followed and went to the dining room because the kitchen was just beside it.Now, he would have continued to follow it to the kitchen, but, because it wasn’t his house, he didn’t want to feel like he was overstepping his boundaries. People’s kitchens were usually considered private areas where permission needed to be requested and granted first before entering, especially when the person who wanted to go in was a first-time guest.Alexander looked down at the wrung boxer briefs in his hand then he looked at the kitchen and said “Aunty Mary, can you please direct me to the clothes dryer?”“Sure thing,” the elderly woman said as she came to where Alexander was standing, wearing an apron and holding a rag used to hold pots when they got too hot.The elderly woman gave Alexander the directions to the basement.“Thank you,” he said then followed the direction and when he got closer, he started to hear the sound of the washing machin

    When Alexander woke up, he was confused about what he should do next. He wasn’t worried about the basic daily activities or the activities on his to-do list, but rather the moves that would further his goal for revenge.Thoughts on that very matter plagued him all night before he slept and then continued after he woke up. However, that changed when he got the intellect skill and increased it with stat points.His brain was firing, thinking of multiple things at once and the moment he took his second fork of spaghetti and saw Blessing sitting at the opposite side of the table from him, he knew just what to do.“What’s there to talk about? A college entrance exam is what you write when you want to apply to a—“ Blessing said but Alexander cut her off.“I know what a college entrance exam is,” he said and Blessing grimaced.“If you do then what the hell are you asking me—?!” “Manners!” Mary yelled, cutting the rude girl off.She smiled awkwardly, saying “Sorry about that Grandma”Mary gr

    Alexander was stunned. He never expected that something he said with innocent intentions would result in the emotional outburst that Blessing just displayed.“Please excuse me for a moment Alexander. Let me get a mop and clean this” Mary stood up then left the dining room to go get what she needed.Turns out that when Blessing stood up and angrily left the dining room, she had, by accident, knocked her glass of water from the table, spilling its liquid contents all over the floor. Not only that, but the cup had even shattered on impact with the floor, making that spot very dangerous for unprotected feet and as such in urgent need of proper cleaning.“I’ll just clean this and—“ Mary said as she returned to the dining room with not just the mop but a broom and dustpan as well. She, however, froze when to her surprise she saw Alexander picking the broken pieces of glass on the floor.Mary dropped the mop, broom, and dustpan then rushed to Alexander’s side as fast as her hurting back wou

    While he remained sitting, Alexander looked around the moderately sized dining room and then he did the same for the adjoining living room, saying “Earlier you said that you weren’t the richest people in the world which I’m taking as an exaggerated nod to how humble your financial status is, but the fact that this entire house belongs to you and you were able to enroll Blessing into the school she’s about to graduate from says a lot”Though Blessing’s high school wasn’t at the level of or as prestigious as Coker Wake High School, it was still amongst the top-rated high schools in its level and since that was the case, it meant that the school fees and overall expenses were quite high.What Alexander was trying to get at was that Mary had to be at a certain level of financial stability to be able to afford the house she and her granddaughter were living in, as well as fund Blessing’s academic lifestyle.Did that come with some sacrifices on the eighteen-year-old girl’s part that others

    “Wow! I never would have imagined all that just by looking at you. But, now that I think about it, your character does fall in line with someone who had a past like yours” Mary said, cleaning the tears that had formed around her eyes.For a woman her age who, also, had most likely gone through her share of trauma, to feel as badly as she did for Alexander really says a lot.Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head in confusion.“What do you mean?” He asked.“I don’t want to throw all rich people under the bus because I’m sure there are some out there who are nice people— take you for example.” She gestures at Alexander.On the other hand, the young multimillionaire furrowed his eyebrows, wondering where she was going with her statement.“You are rich now and you’ve done so much for me and Blessing that we can never repay you for. So, going back to what I was saying, there could be some rich people who were born into their wealth but who are like you—”Alexander interrupted

    “Can I take care of all of Blessing’s academic expenses moving forward?” Alexander asked.Hearing this bold statement from the stairs, Blessing’s eyes widened. No matter how many times it resounded inside her ears, she couldn’t believe the words that just came out of the young multimillionaire’s mouth.Not knowing what else to do, she started chuckling in silence.“No way he meant what he just said. There’s just no way” she mumbled, doubling down on her doubts, but then, blinking her eyes rapidly when she thought more on it.“But what if he’s being honest? I mean, what reason would he have to lie to grandma about something as serious as this? He wouldn’t lie, right?” She asked herself.After everything she’d witnessed Alexander do, Blessing started to doubt that he was someone who would lie and as a result began to doubt her own doubt.Back in the dining room, Mary was stunned speechless by the bold statement from Alexander.“I think my old age is really starting to catch up with me a

    Blessing sniffled and then looked away from Mary to clean underneath her nose.Mary, who watched the girl and felt that something was off about her, grimaced. The girl who left in anger didn’t look the slightest bit angry anymore and Mary wondered what had happened.“Blessing, are you sure you’re okay?” Blessing cleared her throat and looked down at her grandmother who was at the bottom of the stairs while she was standing in the middle.“Why wouldn’t I be?” She askedMary shrugged and replied “I don’t know, you just seem off a little”“I’m fine. I don’t know why you would think that but nothing is going on with me”“You sure—?““Yes, I’m sure! Anyway, what’s going on? It looks like you were looking for me but what’s the reason?” Blessing asked, pretending like she didn’t know what was going on or that she hadn’t eavesdropped on the entire conversation between Mary and Alexander.“That’s right! I have really good news to tell you, but before I do, please come with me” Mary stretched

    Alexander went back to WhatzApp where he continued chatting with Winifred until she said that she had to go offline because her teacher just walked into the class and she would talk to him later. The chat ended which was good because Alexander was starting to get tired as he wasn’t someone who liked chatting all that much. After that, Alexander looked at his phone, from front to back, and groaned. “Why haven’t I upgraded this yet?” He asked himself as he looked at the phone with disgust. How could he be using such an old model when he had hundreds of millions of dollars in his account? It was unbecoming and disgraceful. “Alright, I guess I know what to do today,” Alexander said then he dropped the phone on the bed and went to take a shower. After a couple of minutes, he came out of the bathroom fully dried, put on what he would wear for his outing then he took the phone from the bed and went out of the house. He got into his car and got ready to drive off, but first, he need

    FRIEND REQUEST

    If he wasn’t able to read at an incredible pace thanks to his heightened intellect, he wouldn’t have been able to finish reading the second message because she deleted it less than a second after he received it.She sent the message again some seconds later and the second sentence was gone.[If you are then it’s kind of late, don’t you think?]Alexander chuckled because the deleted message showed that the girl had eavesdropped on his conversation with her father because she shouldn’t have known that he was done with high school and was waiting to go to college.She knew this which was why she deleted it, hoping that he didn’t see the message. Unfortunately for her, he did, and she couldn’t ask if he did because it would be awkward, so she just hoped and wanted to move on.He replied [Yeah, I know] pretending like he didn’t see the message she deleted.He also messaged that he wanted to save her number so she should give him a minute.

    DELETED MESSAGE

    After eating so much food and satisfying his hunger, Alexander slept like a log and because he had nothing to do the following day, the System didn’t bother to wake him up. Within the time that he slept, his body changed a little, adapting to the ten stat points he was awarded after accomplishing his last mission, and a good portion of the food he ate was used for that which was why he wasn’t bloated after gobbling up all those many dishes.The next morning came and Alexander continued to sleep, not hearing when his alarm rang until it stopped.A couple of minutes passed and the alarm rang again but still, he wasn’t able to hear it until it stopped.Between the second time the alarm rang and the next time it would ring again— after snoozing— Alexander received a notification on his phone.It was a message, two actually, but Alexander still wasn’t able to hear them because of how deep in sleep he was until, finally, the next alarm that rang woke him up.{“Good morning, Mister Alexande

    GIVE ME YOUR PHONE

    Afterward, Alexander, Mr. Terrence, and Mrs. Terrence sat in the living room and talked business while Winifred was told to go to her room. The girl pretended to do that, but she sat by the stairs and listened to the entire meeting. Her reason for doing that was because she wanted to know when the meeting would be over. She knew that Alexander would leave immediately after the meeting was done and she wanted to see him before he did. A couple of minutes later and the meeting came to an end. “Since we’re done discussing everything we have to for today, I guess it’s about time I take my leave,” Alexander said as he stood up from the couch. “Of course. Please allow us to escort you to your car” Mr. Terrence said as he and his wife stood up as well.“Thank you” Alexander smiled.“Wait, Winifred hasn’t said goodbye to him yet,” Mrs. Terrence said.“What?” Mr. Terrence grimaced. “It was her idea to invite Alexander over for dinner which resulted in this wonderful meeting taking place,

    VEIL

    After the Possession System had transferred all of Mr. Ferguson’s properties and net worth to him, it had also replaced his name and face in all proof of ownership to Alexander’s and that includes blog articles and documentation of the matter.The Possession System had also covered a veil on everyone’s minds that made them forget that Mr. Ferguson used to be the rightful owner of everything that used to be his and replaced it with Alexander if they ever tried to look up the information.The veil also made inconsistencies in the altered proof of ownership redundant, meaning that anyone who checked the information wouldn’t think twice after seeing that the casino which had been active for longer than Alexander had been alive was somehow founded by him and one other person.In essence, whenever they saw or read anything that used to have Mr. Ferguson’s name and face as the owner of things, they would see Alexander’s which is exactly what happened when Mr. Terrence quickly reached for his

    “It’s fine, honey. Alexander is our guest so I don’t see why we can’t break certain eating habits to accommodate him” Mr. Terrence said and his wife groaned. Again, she suspected her husband and his intention for permitting the invite she gave Alexander to come eat with them.Still, she kept quiet and just let things play out.“Well, I’d like to increase the number the estates I’ve built from the cities we’re occupying to other cities in other states as well, creating like a housing franchise. While I’m doing that, I’ve been thinking of entering into other business ventures that’ll be more profitable in the long run” Mr. Terence said and Alexander groaned. “Other business ventures, huh? Which ones do you have in mind?” Alexander asked. Mr. Terrence cleared his throat because he didn’t know how Alexander was going to take what he was about to say.“Well, I was thinking of getting into ventures like the casino business but things like that are quite challenging. You’d need someone wh

    “Thank you, Missus Terrence, and don’t mind if I do,” Alexander said then asked Winifred to help him with one of the bowls so he could dish more food for himself. As she gave Alexander the bowl and he started dishing for himself, Mr. Terrence asked “So, Alexander, as I was saying before I was painfully interrupted…”Mrs. Terrence rolled her eyes again while having a smile on her face.“What’s your basketball experience?” Mr. Terrence asked as Alexander gave the bowl back to Winifred to keep while asking her to give him another bowl. “I’ve never played the game before. As a matter of fact, I’ve never been on the court or held the ball before” Alexander replied and Mr. Terrence’s eyes widened.“What about high school? Didn’t your high school have basketball as one of the sports the students played? Surely you got curious about shooting at the hoop at least once or twice” Mr. Terrence said.“Yes, we did have a basketball court as well as other games but I never really got to play” Ale

    DINNER TIME

    Both ladies were looking very beautiful. Though Winifred was young and still growing into her looks, she was very beautiful and had an innocent look to her which would make any man’s heart melt. As for Mrs. Terrence, she was the evidence of what the young girl had to look forward to when she was her age. Her face and body were excellently crafted by her creator. “What are you guys talking about?” Mrs. Terrence asked and both Alexander and her husband looked at her and Winifred. “I was just getting to know Alexander a little better is all. Isn’t that right, Alexander?” Mr. Terrence asked and they all looked at Alexander. “That’s right. Mr. Terrence and I were just talking about how I grew up and all. Nothing too serious” Mrs. Terrence looked at her husband suspiciously for a moment. Like Alexander, she too had a feeling that there was a motive behind why he agreed to the dinner invitation but she didn’t think as far as Alexander did to realize the truth so she let it go. “Alrig

    “I’m very observant, remember? I could smell your intentions behind asking me all those questions from a mile away” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence groaned as he furrowed his eyebrows.“My intentions?” The man of the house asked.“That’s right. I’m not a father, but if I were, especially a father to a girl child, I wouldn’t just allow a stranger of my stature and build to come into my house just because my daughter wanted to invite them. Knowing how good of a businessman you must be to have what you do, you wouldn’t make such a reckless decision which leaves me to think that the reason why you allowed my invitation to pass is because you wanted to know what type of person you new tenant is, so this is basically a business move disguised as a caring father act” Alexander said and Mr. Terrence kept quiet to listen to the rest of what the young multimillionaire was going to say. “Because it isn’t normal for a person my age to have the amount of money to rent a place here or drive the ki
