Grass to Grace

The electronic vital sign monitor beeps' echoed in the whole ward.

Laquan's eyes went open,after five days of unconsciousness. 

A bandage was wrapped around his head.

He found an aged man beside him.

"Welcome, grandson."he smiled.

Quan blinked and tried to get up.

Grandson?.

He gazed down at his physique and a satisfied grunt escape his lips.

He is finally in his own body.

"You've suffered a lot,Laquan.

 And,I am here to reward you. All my fortunes are here. This credit cards are fully loaded with money. 

Your days of suffering has come to an end. You shall now become a billionaire,boy."

Laquan's eyes glowed in surprise.

"G.. grandson?"

He couldn't believe his ears.

Is what master told him finally coming to pass?.

"Yes. I've been looking all over for you all these years.

When I hitted you with my car,I had my boys look into you and they found out about your identity. 

Now,tell me, what are your plans now that you've become rich?. 

What would you like to do with your money?"

Laquan sat up and rests his back against the wall before inhaling a sharp breath.

"Revenge."

His grandpa's eyes rolled up in astonishment.

"Why do you choose that?,when you could actually live a life free of troubles till the rest of your life?"

"I will do that,after getting revenge for myself in this world and,three others. It's what I have to do.

Besides,a rich man can never live a quiet life."

"If that's your wish,then I will support you, nevertheless."his grandpa adjusted the ring on his finger.

He was standing with the support of a staff.

"Come in."he uttered,audibly.

The door flung opened and about fifty men dressed in black suits marched inside.

"From now on,they are your bodyguards. I hope they are enough of a force to mobilize for your revenge plan."

A smirk crept up on Laquan's lips.

First revenge - The company he works for.

**

Three days later.

...

Laquan stared out of the car's window.

He has just been discharged from the hospital and he is heading to the mansion that was gifted to him by his grandpa.

About six cars were following after him.

He looks down at the tablet in his hand and scoffs as he scrolled down the news.

The company was sold to a female idol?.

"What a joke."he jeered.

He placed the tablet down on the space beside him and crossed his legs.

He glanced sideways and immediately he saw a familiar figure,he ordered the driver to stop.

The car screeched to an halt and he got down.

"Britney!"

She is one of his friends back at the company.

They like each other but Laquan wasn't ready for relationship then,so,he kept promising her that he would marry her after he has become rich.

Britney turned to him.

Her brows pulled up in recognition.

"Laquan! Where have you been all these while?"she asked, inquisitively.

"I had an accident and was taken to a hospital faraway. You don't look good."Laquan's face squeezed up on his last statement.

She chuckled nervously.

"Yeah. Ever since the company closed down, I've been searching for another job."

"That won't do. A moment,"he went inside the car and came back with a card.

"Inside here are millions swimming in. Set up your own business and live good."

"Millions of dollars?!!"Beatrice gasps and puts a palm over her mouth.

"Take care."Quan gave a nod.

"What about us?"Britney asked.

He stopped and glanced back at her.

"Us?."he reteirated.

He balled his fists as the master's words resounded in his ears.

 "Us..."he breathed out.

"..can never happen. I'm sorry,but I've decided never to let stupid feelings hold me down. Only a weakling does that. 

Forget about us and be you or you could find another man to us with."he uttered,icily and entered the car.

Britney stood there and watched as his car drove off.

He moved from grass to grace in no time.

...

The car arrived at a big mansion with a spring waterfall.

The door was opened for Laquan and he got down.

He walked gracefully inside the house.

"Welcome,sir Laquan."some men dressed in white shirts and black trousers bowed to him.

He gave a nod before ascending the stairs.

He opened the doors to all rooms one after the other, looking for the one to choose.

He settled for the third one and went inside.

He stripped out of his clothes and went to take a shower.

He came back in a black bathing robe.

A knock sounded at the door.

"Who?"

"I brought your food,sir."

"Come in."

He came inside with a platter.

He placed it gently on the table.

"Enjoy your meal,sir."

"I will. You cooked it?"

"Yes,sir."

"You're gay?"

"No,sir."the guy seems uncomfortable.

"Okay."Quan nodded.

"Can..I leave,sir?"

"Get Oscar for me."

He bowed and left.

Laquan dressed himself up in a casual dress and Oscar came in right after.

"Did you found anything yet?"

"Yes. Apparently,there was more input than output. 

The former owner was running at a loss as he wasn't even gaining back the capital he invested in the business. 

Selling it was the best option he could make."

"Is there anyway we can buy it?"

"No,sir. As you know, it's been bought by a female idol. She is now rebranding it. I heard the building is going to be use as a music agency."
