He remembers his childhood, after Erica who is approaching took care of him, there was no other person that had care for him, he was homeless and then Scarlett picked him up just to take advantage of, in terms of fulfilling her sexual desires. When she got impregnated by him accidentally, she had no choice but to marry him to avoid the scandal which was going to loom on her. This began the series of humiliation any man has ever encountered. If he could go through all these and still be who he is today, then why not his son. It was better he got raised without a mother than bringing in someone that would come and destabilize his life. A common backup to this is what Raine tried to do, calling the cops to arrest him. Of course she did. He is now imagining how it would have been for his son if he was charged to court and sentenced to prison, who would have taken care of his son, and his business empire. Carlos, his granddad, was getting older and needed to rest from the hectic life of a
Eric gets to forgive his mom for what she asked him, which he interpreted to mean her kind of terming him as gay because of his aim to stay as an ace. They rise and hug each other, it's the best moment for her and also for him. If he had gotten into an issue with his dad, he didn't want the same to happen between him and his mom. "Don't you think you should apologize to your dad?" Erica suggests. "You know, that wasn't the best approach, you would have just ignored whatever he said and hold onto what you really think it's good. What you want for yourself." "I'm sorry mom." He says with remorse. "You should tell him that too." She didn't waste any time to initiate this as she placed a phone call on Carlos knowing that if Eric did that through his phone, he wouldn't pick. "Even as I'm calling him, I don't know if he will pick once he knows my purpose of calling."Her doubt almost supersedes her desire to try but she ends up trying. The call goes through but along the way, it's d
Unknown to him, his handsome face and figure, charming eyes and pink lips, with the stylish hairstyle he carries is what is mainly attracting many girls to him. Some even get to recognize him. "Look, the CEO of Hollywood." "He owns Carlos' group of companies now!" He hears some of the girls say, the next thing cameras started flashing. People began directing their phone cameras towards him. He didn't expect this. He went blank on how a mind-your-business road and trip turned this way, that people couldn't just let him pass in peace. "Have you forgotten that you are a celebrity CEO?" A voice asks inside him. It dawns on him who he is, he has forgotten who he was despite knowing who he was. At first, he thought it was his beauty but that's only part of it, his identity and fame had spread everywhere after his debut. "Arrghhh!" He grunts right in his mind. "I'll need to say goodbye to everything about private life, it's just not my portion any longer." He wouldn't continue to
"Calm down, my son." He begins to beg his son knowing that if he let Eric take this decision, he would lose a lot, his company would be taken from his family forever when he had a representative son, a grandson whom he took as a son and a great grandchild who will take over after Eric. The decisions he wanted to take are always done by those who have no kids or relatives but he had. "It's quite unnecessary," he said to himself. "Now that you want to leave, where do you intend to stay, how do you think your life would be?" He sighs. "Learn to be tolerant, don't be too aggressive. You don't even know if I was joking to test your reaction and you just burst out." He sighs again, shaking his head. Eric is dumbfounded. He reasons that he might have been kidding him. Which father would just lay down his son from his inheritance like that after registering his name with the government and having the documents of ownership stamped? Those who give all they have to charity do it when des
This makes Eric chuckle. "Alright, I will. I promise not to be quick tempered like that again." "Good one, boy!" He says and hangs the call. Even when he was an adult, he found nothing wrong in terming him as a boy after all he was his grandchild. Eric smiles in ecstasy as he rises from the roadside bench he sat on. He then proceeds to pick the call of his PA. Colton had called to enquire why he hadn't yet arrived, thinking that something was wrong because Eric was never late to work. "What's wrong sir, is anything wrong?" "No Colton, I was speaking to my dad over the phone to sort out some issues. And besides, I'm walking. I didn't want to use my car today." "Wooh!" Colton is amused. "I hope the issue has been resolved?" "Yeah, sure. Thanks for caring." "You're welcome sir." "Don't worry, I'll be there in ten minutes. Is that okay with you?" "Yes, I'll get to inform the engineers, surveyors and architects here. We are sure waiting for you." "Alright!" He hangs the
He arrives at his company, to see Colton and the group of engineers with the surveyors and architects that would be going on a tour with them. They greet him, delighted that he has finally arrived. Colton comes forward and gives him a handshake. "Good morning sir. I'm glad to have you here. We are set to take-off on our journey, the journey would be taking an hour, twenty minutes and we would arrive there safe and sound." "Woww! That's great. Can we go now." They pack all the equipment they will need for the survey to the large coaster bus they would be using, while Eric waits for them. Immediately they are done, Colton signals him and he rises up, follows him out of the apartment, to the luxurious bus with different compartment. Right inside the bus, Colton who has been friends with Eric starts up a conversation with him which he didn't want to while I'm the presence of their team. "Sir, your dress code looks so nice, why did you choose to put on this to work instead of your norm
Eric is shocked to hear Colton saying something similar to what he did but he told no one, if at all people should know, it should be in Hollywood because Amanda belonged to Hollywood, she has no business doing in his other companies, just like this one."You want me to tell you more?" Colton extends his head towards him, he jilts his head towards him and makes a funny sound. "Yeah, why not! What do you mean and who told you?""I have Amanda as my personal friend," he laughs. Eric opens his eyes real wide, his jaw drops. He stares at Colton like a zombie, no one would have made him believe that such relationship existed between both of them. With a nod of his head, he gestures to Colton to continue. "We were best friends back then in those days, even till now we are still close friends just that our intimacy is no longer as strong as it used to be before. This is due to the work stresses, you know, we don't see each other regularly and the fact that she needs to be with a guy whom s
After the survey, he returns to the bus with his team, together with Colton. They head back to the office but he doesn't have much to do here, he has something more important to do at his E-commerce store in Elden Avenue. Though it's called a store, it covers a massive area of land just like a mini-campus. All varieties of goods in the whole world are sold here, being divided into two divisions, one part is meant for physical sales while the other for orders. In each of his company, he has a convenient office in it and today is the day he is going to meet with the lady who has been qualified to be the managing director, being a very vital position, he had to be present to make the final interview where he is going to use his instinct and examine what type of a person she is. He learnt she is a woman, then he also planned initially to verify that whoever would be chosen would be capable of handling the position both in qualification and also pretending to values. He needs an honest pe
