Hidden Successor of The Trillion Dollar Conglomerate

Ryan Jacobs paused as the door creaked while he was trying to open it. If anything, he wanted to move like a subtle breeze unnoticed by anyone.He was greeted by grave darkness in the living room. The house was empty of any life save for the cat that waltzed about in the darkness.He was relieved when he noticed that there was no one there. Carefully closing the door behind himself as he walked in, he gripped onto the shopping bag in his hand tightly to avoid it from falling to the ground.He had never been happier. Purposely sneaking back home a little towards midnight, he wanted everyone to be asleep as he returned home with a secret present for his wife, Lilly Goldberg.That day happened to be their third year wedding anniversary and he had been saving up for the event for quite some time now.The Goldbergs weren't a ridiculously rich family but they were okay and for what it was worth, he wanted the gift to at least be presentable.Lilly had had her eyes on an expensive brand of b

It almost felt as if the world was ending right before his very eyes. For some reason, he thought he had forgotten how to read and that maybe he had read it wrong.A divorce? Why? Why would she want to divorce him after three years just like that?“What… what is this?” His eyes lingered on the content of the paper in his hand as he asked her.“Don't you know how to read? What does it say on the paper?” She crossed her arms below her breast as she asked. Her brow arched.“It says… it says divorce.” He responded, feeling stupidly confused.“Exactly, that is exactly what I want from you. I don't want the stupid purse or bag or whatever you got me, I don't need your love as well. Just sign the damn papers and get out of my life.” Lilly heartlessly said with a stern expression on her face.“No, no, you can't leave me like this, why would you even think of doing this to me? After three years of patiently waiting for you to come to me, what comes to you is to dump me like this?” He didn't kn

Ryan noticed the officer was just as confused as he was and he hoped the man would demand for some explanation.“Uh… Teresa, a word?” Officer Randolph asked her before he started towards the door.Teresa nodded her head and followed the officer out of the room. Ryan didn't like the fact that he was left in suspense but it didn't last for long either.Teresa returned to the room with the officer by her side. Officer Randolph seemed to have a sort of apologetic look on his face but he didn't say anything.“Tell me, Ryan, how have you been?” Teresa asked with a smile on her face.At first, Ryan wanted to question how she knew his name but he decided not to since the police must have done their research on him. “Uhm… not so great.” He responded as he adjusted in his bed.She carefully put the necklace around his neck and didn't let go until it was properly fastened. “There is a lot to explain to you but firstly, you have to go somewhere with me. Can you walk?”“I should be able to. Where

Ryan glanced at Logan, “tell me what I need to know.” Logan nodded his head. “There's a lot actually.” He reached for his bag that was placed on the table as he spoke. “Here with me are all of the files your grandfather left with me and they are all stated in his will. I shall read it out for you.” He cleared his throat but Teresa stopped him. “Uhm actually, I already placed a call and the rest of the family are on their way back home. They will be here any minute now and I would like us to read the will in front of everyone.” Logan nodded his head. “Oh!” Teresa jumped to her feet, “they are already here.” Ryan followed in her movements and rose to his feet. A beautiful woman who looked the same age as Teresa walked in with her head held high. Following behind her were two young boys the same age as Ryan and both of them were very handsome. One was with a bright smile as he saw Ryan and the other one spared him only a glance then looked away. Five more people followed, tailing

Sitting at the edge of her seat was lilly Goldberg with pricked ears and eyes wide open like they were about to pop out of their circuits.It was time for the new heir to be announced and introduced to the entire world and her impatience was getting the better of her. If anything, she wished she was at the scene in person, standing right in front of the new heir.Austin Jacobs was finally laid to rest and his family prayed for his peace as he was cremated since that was the way he wished to be laid to rest.The reporter paid his last respect to the legend being laid to rest before speaking. "Alright, now that the entire world has come together to bid the head of the Jacobs empire farewell, it is finally time for us to meet the young man to continue in Mr Austin Jacobs' footsteps.""Everybody be quiet!" Kelly Goldberg hushed them even though no one was talking. "It's time! It's time!" Her eyes widened as she glared at the TV and she wasn't the only one.They had all been expecting the
