The Heir

“The design of the card and the customization cost over a million dollars, and he deposited some money, which was around five hundred billion dollars!”

“Wait a minute, Barrister. Linda. What did you just say now? The customization and the design cost a million dollars! And the deposit of five hundred billion dollars into the account before he died !” 

“Five hundred billion dollars! Just for my lifestyle!”

Alex gasped in shock, he couldn't believe what he had just held, his mouth was wide open as he stared continuously at the platinum card. 

Alex quickly took a deep breath and asked “Where did he get this huge amount of money that he deposited in the account before he died ?”

Barrister. Linda laughed before she replied to him “Alex, You are very funny! You stayed with Mr. Meyer for many years before your mother died. Don't you know your father is very wealthy?” 

He knows both his parents are very wealthy. His father came from a billionaire family and his mother came from a millionaire family before they got married to each other. He knows he is very wealthy and influential, but he isn't aware that his father has this huge amount of money in his possession. All he knows is that his father knows different businesses and his mother also has different Fintech startups which are multi-dollar businesses. When he was young, he knew his father was the first billionaire in the entire Houston city and his family. Meyer’s family owned a different business and assets in their possession. Since he was young he hadn't understood the concept of money. 

Wow !, He finally knows. 

If his father could spend over a million dollars on designing and customizing a special platinum card for him and deposit over a billion dollars, he could get the card. His father was very wealthy and, from what Barrister. Linda just said indirectly, that her father was a trillionaire. 

Anytime he saw any of his old school friends and colleagues traveling around in a private jet, visiting an exquisite hotel, partying and balling on different days. He always remembers his family, especially his mother, who always funds his lifestyle because that was his old lifestyle before they died. 

“Alex, you don't need to be afraid of anything, you were the only legitimate child of your father before he died. He gave birth to one child before he died, which is you. In case you are not ready to take over your father's emperor including your mother's Fintech startup. The money on the card is all yours, And with that, you can enjoy your life till the time you are ready to take over his empire !” Barrister. Linda said, sensing frustration in him. 

“Thank you, Barrister. Linda, I will think about it and get back to you !” Alex said as he collected the platinum card from him. 

“What is the pin ?” He asked as he noticed he was about to leave the room. 

“Very simple digit !, Two four, six, nine” 

“Oh! Before I leave, I have some important things I would like to tell you about. The news is about your father's empire and your mother's Fintech Empire in Houston. One of your father's refineries has just sealed a deal with an Arabian billionaire in Saudi Arabia and the man is ready to invest one trillion dollars in the company. Also, your mother's Fintech company just signed a contract agreement with a multi-billion dollar software company in California that is ready to take the brand to a hundred million dollars of revenue before the summer based on the contract agreement!” 

Alex listened to her carefully, completely in disbelief at what he had just heard. 

“When you are ready to take over your father's business empire, all the documents will be written with your name as the next king. The king's villa estate belongs to your father as well, in case you forget !” Barrister. Linda said to him politely as she turned back and left the room. 

“What will I do with all this wealth at this young age? I don't think I need this huge amount of money to live a good life with all the assets and property that he left behind. I don't think I can control everything myself. I need to call someone who I trust to manage the business for me when I finish my postgraduate degree in Chemical analysis and fluid dynamics, so I can take over the businesses !” 

As a Barrister. Linda left Alex still in a daze as she left. 

His father tried his best before he died; he had a lot of investments and assets that would transfer to the next four generations!

Twenty hours ago, he was owing Houston University of Science and Technology two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, which Mrs. Loveth refused to pay. Right now, he has a platinum card with over five hundred billion dollars in deposit! A business empire from both parents combined with their assets is over a trillion dollars under his control!

Even the King's villa estate, which is one of the most luxurious estates in the entire city, is under control where Mrs. Loveth stays with her two daughters, who are illegitimate children of her father. The King's villa estate is just a spit of the iceberg based on what Barrister. Linda said it is under his control right now. Mrs. Loveth and his cousin's brother, Barrister. Denny uses a little trick to send him out of the estate a night after the death of his father and lies to him that she is the owner of the house and that his father is just staying there with her to make sure he sold the property and would be able to question him. 

Now, the tables have turned even though both she and her two daughters are sent off of the estate since they are not part of the Meyer family. After all, they are illegitimate children. Both Laila and Sofie like to compare him to their boyfriends, Julius and Maverick, who are millionaires, but right now, Alex is not even a millionaire, but a multi-billionaire with multiple assets and property under his control. Both Julius and Maverick are slaves compared to what he has. 

After Barrister. Linda entered her car and left the cybercafé. He gritted his teeth as he stared at the card continuously. He then turned immediately and went straight to the cashier and completed his payment. 

“Hello! How much were the remaining bills on my student portal?” He asked as he removed his platinum card from his pocket. 

“The remaining balance on your student portal is just seven hundred thousand dollars” 

“Take this card, you can withdraw the remaining balance from there,” he said politely as he handed over his card to the receptionist. 

The receptionist inserted the card into a small machine on her desk, and then Alex inserted his password and the transaction was successful!

Within a few seconds, seven hundred thousand dollars was credited to his student portal. 

Alex left the shop and went straight to the library to prepare for his exam now that he had completed his payment.  

All this was a nightmare for him. He couldn't believe what just happened at the lowest point of his life. 

He became a multi-billionaire in the blink of an eye!
