2024-10-29 19:42:56Alex glanced at his hands and knew he had brewed some trouble. However, finding out the truth of the inheritance was more urgent and important for him to care about whatever awaited him at the ground floor.
As the elevator gradually reached the 99th floor, his heart tightened, anxious about meeting the man.
The lift finally came to a stop and opened, revealing a grand door.
Although Alex was very nervous, he still summoned the courage to walk forward and knock on the door.
There was a brief silence, before a tired voice answered "Come in"
Alex drew a deep breath and opened the door, revealing an office space filled with expensive decorations. Alex was wowed at the size of the office itself, occupying the entire floor, he had never seen a room as luxurious as this.
On the wall hung several expensive paintings and artworks, the room itself screamed opulence, with high-end mahogany wood decorations, rugs and gold chandeliers, and a fountain in the middle, Alex was dumbfounded.
He was too lost in shock to notice a old man in a bespoke suit walk towards him with a radiant smile respectfully
"Mr Albert, it's nice to finally meet you. I'm Damien Black"
The man was the CEO of Azure Group, the Richest enterprise in the city. From his high-end suit and demeanor, Alex could tell without question that this man was the CEO. But what he couldn't understand was why the man was acting so respectful towards him
Having grew up poor, he had never been treated with such respect from people, talk less of the wealthy faction of the city.
Alex did not know what to say, he felt anxious still and then the old man led him to a chair in the office, before sitting down in another chair opposite him
"Mr Albert, I'm the one that called you," he started
"And I know you have a lot of questions, so I'll answer them in a few," he said with a warm smile
"Five years ago you saved an old man, his name was Deon Jackson. Mr Albert, that old man was the owner of this enterprise, and I know you're not aware, but he has been secretly sponsoring your college education", Damien said
The news hit Alex like a ton of bricks. What did he mean, his college education was sponsored? If so, where had all his school fees been going to?
"Unfortunately, two days ago Mr. Jackson passed away due to a chronic heart disease, but before he did, he wrote in his will that you should be appointed as his heir to take over his Azure Consortium",
Alex could not believe it, he still felt like this was all a dream he would wake from any moment now.
"The Azure Consortium heir?" Alex asked in shock unable to comprehend what Damien had said. He was still yet to comprehend the shock of receiving a one trillion dollars credit alert, and was now just told that he was the heir to the biggest consortium in the country.
Damien noticed the confusion on Alex's face and sighed, this was all too much for a person to believe
Azure Consortium was the largest company in the country worth several hundreds of billions of dollars, from owning more than 50% shares in all the affiliated companies involved.
"You are the Azure consortium heir," Damien repeated, still Alex could not believe him. How come he had never heard of the old man's name before as one of the super rich people in the country if he truly owned a consortium, or at least the name of the company.
He might have been poor, but he wasn't ignorant.
He knew some of the prominent consortiums and many top companies in the world and so asked
"How come I've never heard of this Deon Jackson before?"
Again, Damien sighed when he heard his question, but could not blame him. He said "Mr Albert, the super rich folks of New York live an entirely different life than what any of us are used to. For the sake of their safety, they never reveal their identities to the public"
At this point, Damien stood up and walked towards a tall shelf, inputted a pin code and his biometric print, the brought out a stack of files and placed them on the table, sliding them over to Alex
"Mr Albert, when once you sign this document, you will immediately become the most richest and powerful person in the world, if it is your will to be so. But I must inform you. There is a condition" he added flatly taking his seat again
"For reasons undisclosed to me, Mr Jackson wants you to marry a certain lady called Lane Strauss.
While I am yet to gather all the information about her, this was the old man's wish if you are to take over his consortium and still retain all your wealth.
In any case where you decide not to marry her, half of the consortium will be immediately transferred to Miss Strauss.
These are the terms of the inheritance."
Alex looked at Damien briefly before averting his gaze back to the documents on the table.
Scanning through it, he noticed that that Azure consortium owned about 85% shares in all the affiliated companies, making it the richest consortium Alex had yet to see or hear of, together with a comprehensive list of the names of those companies with the least ranked at number 30th with all their net yearly revenues.
He was flabbergasted, the Azure consortium did not just consist of companies alone which were raking up billions of dollars yearly, but also luxurious fashion stores, top hotels and businesses, real estate, mineral mines and oil wells with the Azure consortium having more than 85% shares in all of them.
He would be foolish to turn down something so grand it could change his life in an instant, just because he didn't want to marry some girl that even if she was ugly, with the money he'd now have, he could send her abroad for plastic surgery.
Without further hesitation, he hurriedly signed it.
"Great decision," Damien uttered proudly. He reached into his desk drawer, brought out a black card and handed it to Alex
"This is a premium black diamond card with a limit of 100 billion dollars. It is yours now to do with as you please, Young Master" Damien said and bowed respectfully
"Please if you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to call me"
Alex was tongue-tied. All these was happening too soon, however, he wasn't going to change his mind. He pushed back his seat and got up to leave after shaking Damien's hands.
Alex made his way downstairs and was immediately arrested by the guards who had been waiting for him
"Bastard! Did you really think you could get away?" The lady he had poured coffee on asked arrogantly
"I'm sorry ma'am. It was an accident" Alex hastily apologized
"You think a mere few sorry words are going to make up for you assaulting me?" She scoffed, staring at him furiously with bloodshot eyes
"If you do not want to end up in jail, I suggest you kneel down and publicly apologize to me" she sneered
Alex felt angry and helpless, he did not know whether to call Damien. After all he had said he should let him know if he had any problems. However, just then a hoarse steely voice thundered
"Martha, why are all these people gathered here?" The man asked.

"Have you all gone deaf? I asked a question." Damien repeated himself angrily. The security guard looked at Martha and his dejected face showed that she was not going to say a word. Having had a crush on her for a long time, he saw this as an opportunity to defend her and prove his worth. "Sir, this man right here is a criminal," he said loudly. "He is a beggar who ran in here and caused so much commotion." "How about you picking a side? Is he a beggar or a criminal?" Damien asked the man. "Sir, he is a..."

With the possession of his black card and a five million dollars sitting in his bank account, he felt like he was on top of the world and nothing could bring him down.

Alex walked into the shopping mall that looked elegant and sophisticated. He had two reasons for why he walked into the fancy and elegant shopping mall. One was to get a suit that would make him stand out at Natalie's birthday party and also upgrade his wardrobe at the same time and the second was to upgrade from the little, old and wretched phone he used to a more slicker and better brand. As soon as he got into the building, his eyes collided with some very beautiful suits that he knew would bring out his best features. Smiling, he walked towards the rack and started going through them. The material felt soft and slick.Alex could not help the smile that came across his face. At the counter end, two assistants stood staring at him. Their faces had a puzzled look on it. "Wait, are my eyes playing tricks on me?" One of them asked. "I don't believe it is."

"Hello, good afternoon. What's going on here?" She asked immediately. "Oh, they are just moving in some clothes. I hope it did not disturb you?"

Are you starting an online business or something?" She asked. Alex chuckled. "ah, no I am not. I actually just wanted to upgrade my wardrobe. I needed new set of clothes."

Alex's sat down. He knew that whatever he was about to say would have to be received while sitting. He feared for the very worst and hoped that the young man would not be saying anything that would lead to him being more Disturbed than he already was. "Damien, what is it?" He asked. "Before I answer that question I need to ask. Have you guys gotten Ivy? Is she okay?" He asked again. "Well yes. She is. We have gotten a hold of her and she is currently in the hospital receiving some treatments. Damien, what the hell is going on?" He asked. "Well, first, you will need to find a way to calm down. But after you guys left, I called Cole and I had him do some digging around about the letter." "Okay and what is going on with the letter?" He asked. "Well, we found out some very striking things that I think needs to be addressed. He took samples and he was quick to run them by an illegal lab that he knows so that we could get immediate results.

"Doctor, what is it?" Alex asked, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to that question. He struggled within himself but he knew that he had to know exactly what was going on and he could not run from the truth forever. "Well, Mr. Albert, nothing is wrong with her. She just has some broken ribs that we will need to correct because if we don't, it could lead to something more drastic." "Okay then fine. Go ahead and correct it," Alex said as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Why then was your face like that? You had me worried you know."

Alex could not believe what he was actually seeing. His woman was finally free. He saw a man carrying her out from the building and he brought her to the truck. Immediately they had gotten inside, Alex was the first to run to her and he immediately wrapped her in his arms. "Ivy," he said as he released as breath of air. Finally he could breath as he saw his woman and he was assured that she was safe. She felt too cold to touch and Alex could only imagine all the things she had to go through while she was in the arms of those men and ladies. He could only wish that none of those men had so much as touched her because if they did, he was not going to hesitate to actually drive a stake through their hearts. "Alex," she said softly as she almost collapsed into his arms. She took in the warmth of his presence and held as tightly as she could to not lose the sanity that his presence brought to her. "I'm so sorry," he said as he held her. "I am so sorry that I allowed this to happen to

The drive there was a fast one. Alex did not care about traffic. All he wanted was to get to the warehouse on time and ensure that Ivy was okay. "You can slow down now, we are almost there." Andres said but still, Alex did not bother to listen. He kept going at high speed wanting nothing more than to reach Ivy without the blink of an eye. Suddenly, he turned into an abandoned road filled with potholes. "Okay you really need to slow down now. You can't be driving at such speed on a road like this you know. You are going to wreck this car." "Oh calm down already. Nothing will happen to the car," Alex said ignoring him as he kept driving. Soon he reached a lonely path. "We should walk on our feet here." Andres suggested "Why? The road is wide enough to be driven on." "Yes it is but with the way you are going, you will definitely get all of us killed. We need to be subtle and if you haven't noticed, you are driving at an enormous speed right now. So the best option is for us to wa

The time on the wall read 7:15pm and Alex looked out to see that it was dark. Alex could not rest, he kept pacing around and Andres did not bother to tell him to rest. He understood what the man was going through. Anxiety, worry, panic. It was to be expected. After all, the love of his life was stuck in a bad place and he had to do nothing else but sit and worry all day. He could not even go to help her. "Are you sure that we should not go to her? I mean come on now. How sure are you that those your guys will be able to handle this all by themselves? What if they mess everything up? You know that I will hold you responsible if anything should happen right?" Alex finally said after a long time of keeping mute. "Yes I know that I will be held responsible and I will take full responsibility if it gets to that but right now sir, the best thing that we can do is allow these men to do their job. I can assure you they are well trained and they know what they are doing. They won't mess it

Alex knocked on his door and Dustin opened to see a very distressed looking man. "What happened?" He asked as Alex walked into the house, followed by Andres. "Those bitches called again." Alex answered as he went into his kitchen to get himself a cup of water. "And what did they say?" He asked. "Well they did not say anything good other than the fact that this is going out of hand and that they know my family is in town." Hayden laughed as he heard Alex finish talking and the man did not get what was so funny. "Okay what are you laughing at right now?" He asked. "Well that is not the truth right. You don't have a family so you obviously fooled them." He said still laughing but stopped along the way as realized that Alex was not laughing with him. "What is it?" He asked again. "It's not funny because I do have a family. " *What?" Hayden excalimed. "How come you have a family and yet I have never heard of this family before. What the hell is that?"

"Why are you doing this?" Ivy asked as she ate the food in a haste. She did not even know that she was hungry. She imagined she must have gone for close to two days without food nor water. Her energy was drained and the only thing she was working on was the adrenaline to get out of whatever mess she had found herself in alive. "Well what can I say? I took pity on you and I knew that Davina had not given you something to eat or drink. I feel like it's very cruel. I mean after all, we are not after you. You are not the bad guy here, you just happened to be a little bit stuck in between a cross fire." "Is that how you want to describe it?!" Ivy asked as she finished her meal."What other way is there to actually describe something like this?" She asked.

Rebecca heaved a sigh as she watched her being dragged out of the room. She would have never believed that she would have to do something like that to the girl but the truth was that she was slowly losing her mind and what she did would benefit both of them. She knew very well that Alex was not the kind of man for them to double cross and if she tried to hurt Ivy or worse, if she actually went through with killing the girl. Alex would go to great heights to ensure that we are locked up in a place that the sun never shines. Rebecca did not know much about her but she could tell that she wanted to live her life and not be subjected to having to hide. To achieve that, then she would have to not allow her to do what she planned on doing. "I can't actually believe this girl," she muttered under her breath as she massaged her head. She was stressed out and wished that she will just hear the good news already so that she could Ivy free and also walk away as a free woman. She craved to go
