“Poof!”
Oliver could not help but spat a mouthful of blood, even though he knew their marriage was just a show, he had done all his best to get Zelda’s love so hearing her ask for a divorce broke his heart.
Tears streamed down Oliver’s cheek. He turned to her and said,
"Zelda, I know that not only have I not been a good husband and your life got destroyed because of me and I'm really sorry for that. You can call when the divorce papers are ready, so we can go and sign them.”
“I wish you all "happiness in life". That was Oliver’s last sentence before leaving the room."
Oliver’s last words hit Zelda hard, she did not understand why she was sad instead of being happy because Oliver was leaving her.
At the same time, Oliver walked alone on the street, he didn’t have any dollar on him for him to be able to book a room so the only option for him was for him to sleep under the bridge.
Just then, his phone rang. Seeing that it was a private number, Oliver felt puzzled as to who would call him on a private number. Few seconds after hesitating, he pressed the answer button.
"Hello, who's this?" He asked.
"Young Master Storm!” A lady’s voice rang through the line, “am Alice from the Storm family am glad I’ve been able to reach you”, the lady said in a calm and respectful tone.
“Young master?” Oliver was confused hearing the lady address him such way.
“Sorry I think you called the wrong person, although my name is Storm am not a young master anywhere.” Oliver answered
Thinking Alice was fake, Oliver wanted to hung up on the call.
“Young master Storm, your mother asked me to call you how can it not be you?” Alice asked.
Hearing the word mother, Oliver felt as if he had been stroked by lighting, all he knew was that he was an orphan but Alice was saying his mother asked her to contact him.
“What you said isn’t a joke right?” Oliver asked nervously.
“Young master, how dare I make jokes in front of you? President Storm is busy as she’s in a meeting that was the reason why she couldn’t contact you herself.
Moreover, I’ve been asked to transfer an amount to you after this call, so I would ask for the young master’s permission to hung up and do as I’ve been ordered,” Alice said.
Oliver couldn’t believe his ear, the only best way to know if Alice was speaking the truth was to hung up and see if any money is transferred to him, so without wasting time he hanged up.
“Ding! Ding!” Oliver’s phone blew a message alarm few seconds after waiting.
Without wasting time, he clicked on the message and what he saw made his legs weak.
“What!” He screamed, “Ni.. nin…nine zeroes? I just received 50billion dollars.” Oliver felt his legs go numb as he stared at his phone screen with his eyes widely opened.
Immediately, he called his bank as he wanted to confirm if he really had 50billion in his account.
“Hello Mr. Storm, we were about to give you a call. Our CEO is happy for you now being our companies V.I.P with 50billion dollars and due to that, your account has been credited with 10million dollars as a congratulations bonus.” The bank manager said.
“I…It…It’s real, 50billion dollars with a bonus of 10million dollars, its real” Oliver screamed on top of his voice and danced in happiness.
With that huge amount in his bank account, he was now far away from poor.
“Ha-ha I’ve got a rich family, am the youngest master of the Storm family, its now time to pay back to what poverty has done to me, Abigail Ellison, you’ll regret not wanting me as your son-in-law.
The only person Oliver was now eager to speak to was his mom so he dialled Alice’s contact.
He figured he had no family after his grandfather's passing and also his granddad whom he lived never told him anything regarding his mom or family whenever he asked, so he expected he had none, but yet it appeared that he was from a rich family.
"Alice, I need to address my mother, where could she be? " Oliver quickly asked when the call was associated with
"Alice, I need to address my mother, where could she be? " Oliver quickly asked when the call was associated with. “Am sorry young master, as I stated earlier, President is busy at the moment and I guess she would contact you when there’s time.” Alice repliedOliver nodded; his mom was a billionaire so definitely there would always be a lot of important stuffs to deal with.He had a great deal of inquiries in his mind now."For what reason did mother leave me assuming that she was as yet alive?”"For what reason did I need to battle throughout everyday life in the event that I had a rich family?”"He realized Alice wasn't the most ideal individual to respond to every one of his inquiries so all he could do was to hung up.Immediately after hanging up, Oliver boarded a cab to one of the most luxurious hotels in Boston Hills, “Empire Hotel” he now had billions of dollars so that wasn’t a problem for him.At the same time in a luxurious room was seated a woman in her mid-50’s. Even thou
When the security guard saw him hold his collar, he angrily rolled his eyes and looked at Oliver's screen.Seeing a message indicating that 10 million dollars had been accredited into Oliver’s account as a bonus, his body shivered.Of course, he wasn’t a fool, for a bank to give 10 million dollars as a bonus to their customer, the customer's balance wouldn’t be less than 2 billion."Thud!" He fell to his knees to apologize. "S…S… Sir, please forgive me. I was blind not to let you in but argue with you. Please don’t take this matter to your heart. I have a wife and two kids at home. If I am fired, then that is the end of my family." The security guard begged as his shoulders continued to shake from crying.He was wise to know that since Oliver had such a huge amount in his account, he would be fired if he reported it to the manager.Hearing the security guard’s pleading words, Oliver sighed. He didn’t take the matter to heart because even though the security looked down on him, it was
"Rooms and suites were all booked out, was that a joke?" Oliver was surprised. There were more than 200 rooms and suites in Empire because it had lot of visitors so he was sure the lady was lying to him.The only reason could be that she was looking down on him.“Miss how can you sa…“Hello I want to book a suite;” A voice rang through before Oliver could complete his sentence.A middle-aged man who was neatly dressed in suit walked forward. Looking at him, one could tell that he was rich.“Sure sir, its…”The lady talked to the man gently until he was done with the booking.Oliver who was watching everything was stunned, firstly lady told him all the suites and rooms has been occupied but the middle-aged man was able to get a suite.“I thought you said all the suites and rooms are occupied so how come someone successfully made a booking?” Oliver questioned angrily.Hearing his question, the lady frowned and said. “There are suites and rooms available but am afraid you can’t afford th
Oliver, whose back was facing Ynes, turned and asked, "Miss Ynes, are you the owner here?" Ynes was shocked to see Oliver, the guy who got into a heated argument with her bodyguard a few minutes ago. "Yes, I’m the owner here," Ynes replied shortly. The Empire Hotel was one of the properties of the Larking family, and Ynes was the one in charge. "I came here to book a suite, but your staff wouldn’t allow me; why is it so?" Oliver asked with a stern expression. Oliver then explained everything that had happened to Ynes. Ynes was furious; she never looked down on people and didn’t expect her staff to do so. She took a yellow card from her bag and handed it to Oliver. "I’m really sorry for my staff’s behavior; this is our membership card." "You can stay here whenever you want without paying." Oliver wanted to reject the membership card; he had enough money to pay for all his lodgings, but after giving it a second thought, he decided not to embarrass her. He was taken aback when
The next day, Oliver quickly rushed to a showroom; he wanted to buy himself a car."I need a car to buy; what’s the price?" He asked after getting to the car showroom.A lady stepped forward and asked, "Sir, I am Linda; what type of car do you want?""Can I take a look at the cars?" He asked."Sure, you can." Linda replied as he sent Oliver around the car show room.The sight of all the luxury cars in the showroom astounded Oliver.There were all types of cars, including Benz, Audi, Volkswagens, BMW, Bentley, and others.After a few minutes, Oliver pointed to a yellow car. "I want this."The sales lady was shocked and disappointed, but she dared not show it. She thought Oliver was going to choose those ordinary, low-priced cars, but he pointed at an Audi R8.If she managed to sell it, she would get a large bonus."Linda Lyrol, are you that dumb?" A voice pierced through the sky, followed by two ladies who walked into the showroom. They were also salespeople at the 4S shop.You’re actu
"I... is that not Oliver?" Zelda was about to hail a cab when she shivered from shock. Even though she couldn’t see the driver’s face clearly, she was pretty sure it was Oliver.Speaking of Oliver, she felt guilty thinking about her argument with him. Without giving it a second thought, she picked up her phone and decided to call him.The cab driver honked at Zelda and asked, "Miss, why haven’t you sat down yet?""What am I even thinking?" It probably can’t be Oliver. As she got into the cab, she said.After buying a set of new clothes, Oliver drove to Twyla Villa Center. Twyla Villa had the best villas in Boston Hills; he couldn't always stay in a hotel, so he drove there with the goal of purchasing a villa.Seeing the new Audi car, the security guard did not waste time allowing him in.He drove to the parking lot and parked his car."Hello, I'm here to buy a villa. Which one is available?" Oliver askedA saleslady who was dressed in a white office suit and a young man following her
"This is just a normal bank card; its average limit is only $300,000.""Just swipe it!" He replied shortly.What they didn’t know was that, even though the limit for a daily transaction was $100,000, he was the bank’s VIP, so his card was unblocked, making his spending limit unlimited."Why do I feel that he’s so mysterious?" Logan thought as she handed the card to the saleslady asking her to swipe it.Even though the saleslady was furious at Oliver at that moment, she dared not show it in front of Logan. She took the card and swiped it. After that, Oliver entered his password.Logan didn’t bother to check the machine because she was sure the card was going to be rejected."Ping! Ping!"The machine beeped twice, indicating that there had been a successful transaction.Logan, like the saleslady and salesman, was taken aback.Even though she never looked down on Oliver, she didn’t believe that the ordinary card in Oliver’s hand had 15 million dollars in it.The saleslady who couldn’t be
Tears streamed down Zelda’s face. "There’s no need for me to live since you hate me this much." "Mr. Storm, is everything alright?""I just had a little issue with my wife, sorry for the disturbance," Oliver replied.Logan smiled and said, "There's a party tonight around 8 p.m. at my place; I wonder if Mr. Storm would love to join?" After giving it some thought, Oliver nodded and said, "I have nothing to do this night, so I'll surely join you.""That's great, then would you want me to pick you up?" She questioned."Then I'll bother you once more.""Mr. Storm, there's no need to be polite."After exchanging contacts with Oliver, Logan left. Oliver, who was now alone in his big villa, wanted to call Zelda to apologize for his rude behavior and also tell her about the money he had gotten, but thinking that she was at fault, he stopped."There's no need to tell Zelda or my mother-in-law about my sudden wealth."At 7:30 p.m., a blue Chevrolet Camaro was parked near the villa. The beauti
