Jace the centibillion heir Chapter 146
Twenty four hours…It was at 9:00 AM of this morning that the offer for Daryl to get back his company was going to come to an end. Yet, he hadn’t succeeded to come up with a brilliant idea on how and where he was going to get the money from. The alarm rang and he was still in bed, dozing like a two year old dude. He woke up and harshly shut it. “Just shut the fuck up. Why are you jerking me from my slumber. Are you going to get me the money I need to get back my company?” Though his words were directed to the alarm that lied innocently opposite him, anyone in his right state of mind could tell Daryl was losing it.Last night after trying hard to get to Amelia without any success, he drank till he could no longer walk by himself. Luckily for him, his maid was in the surroundings. She was the one who cleaned him up and laid him in bed.He dozed again for about thirty minutes after which he got up and prepared himself. Walking downstairs, he fell on his maid who was cleaning up the livin

Two hours passed and yet, there was nothing Daryl could come up with. Amelia had rejected his offer, his two old friends had rejected his offer. He was surely not going to call on Carlos because he also had no penny. Friends with whom he had grown up with could not bring him much help, as they all complained of life not being fair with them.In the past days, he could swear Carlos was a figure he looked up to, but after telling him the real source of his wealth, it was not necessary meeting him. Besides, the little quarrel they had because of Amelia made it impossible.Getting up from the chair, he could feel a sudden pain hit him hard in his chest. That was because he was on the losing end. It was 9:30 AM, yet he didn’t have three quarter of the money, not even to talk about the half of it. Reaching the gates of Marchburry, the security won’t let him in. In their words, “You are no longer permitted to walk into Marchburry’s premises. Looking at you, it’s not difficult to guest you h

“Days are passing, and yet granny won’t return from her journey. Don’t she knows I am missing her?” Elizabeth said with a pitiful face while tapping her hands on Amelia who was watching her favorite serie.“I had no idea mothers to were missing theirs. It’s quite funny how an already grown-up woman like you would wish for granny to be here. Do you still breastfeed?” Amelia asked, and her mother sighed in a funny manner.When granny left Spain for the United States, initially, it was for business purposes. It then turned out to be a vacation. Even as vacation, she has deliberately refused to come back home. In her words, “I love this place, I am thinking of relocating here.” She always said on phone anytime Elizabeth called. Yeah, just Elizabeth had continued calling her line ever since she went. Amelia had called some few times, but she stopped calling when she discovered her granny kept asking if she had finally accepted Robert’s proposal.Well, Carlos had called her some time too,

“I don’t know if this is a good idea, let me just walk you near the door, I am going back home.” Jace said, regretting why he ever accepted her offer in the first place.Tessie sniffed when she heard him say that. Taking his hands into hers, she kissed his back hand before uttering, “You can’t go for crying out loud. You already accepted to come. Just follow me inside, even if it’s just ten minutes with you I’ll be grateful.” Tessie continued speaking.He released his hands from her grip, placing it on his middle, “Why are you so interested in this friendship? Like I told you the other day, I am just a poor boy who has nothing to offer to a lady like you.” Jace said but Tessie’s lips edged up in a smile.“And who told you that I am after you because of what you can offer? I genuinely like you as a friend. You are calm, soft, bold and equally handsome. You are that kind of person who commands respect anywhere he is.” Jace listened to all that she said and he began wondering whether he

“You are beginning to scare me. What the hell is going on?” Amelia glared at him then questioned.Daryl placed his hand on her knee and caressed it, “I don’t want people to hear about this. That’s why I prefer we go outside and talk about it calmly.” He stood up from his seat before continuing, “Do you mind us going out?” He stretched his hand, waiting for her to grab it.She stood up but beat his hand down. She started walking while he followed her to the balcony. At this very moment, Elsy who was eavesdropping didn’t mind glaring at them till they were out of the way.“What do you have to say? I hope…” “This not about me, this is about you and Jace.” He said pitifully. As if someone was hurting him.“What about us? What did Jace do this time around?” She heaved heavily before declaring.Before saying anything, Daryl brought out his phone from his pocket. “Remember, what I’m about to tell you is something that has been going on for quite sometime. I just couldn’t take it any longer

“What do you mean by that darling? Until now everything was going on fine. Is there something that I did?” Jace woke up from his seat and started approaching her. If there was something he knew about Amelia, was when she got angry. He wanted in no means to get her mad against him. It had stayed since they last had problems and his intention was to keep that peace for a long time possible.“Hey, don’t approach me.” She stretched her hand as a means of blocking his way.He stopped in the middle of their room and asked, “What’s going on darling?” He said, his voice growing softer.“Why did you have to come back late? That’s the problem I have with you.” Amelia stated calmly.Jace thought about where he came from. He quickly frowned and pushed off the reality to the back of his mind, “I’m sorry that I came back late. There was lot of traffic on the way.” He said smoothly.“Oh, I see. There was traffic on the way…” She said, supporting her chin under the back of her hand. “Well, let me giv

Amelia didn’t respond, when she heard her mother’s voice. She simply curved her hand around her ears and climbed upstairs. It didn’t stay long before she heard the creeks of the door. She turned only to find Jace standing in her face. She first sighed before removing the heavy hoodie.“Darling, how come you came back just this morning? Last night when you left you told me you went to see off Daryl but then what happened?” He curiously asked.“You didn’t even pick any of my calls, why?” He added, but Amelia won’t still pick up.He cleared his throat and was about to speak when Amelia interrupted him. She held her slippers in hand and pointed it across his face.“Don’t you dare say another word, do you get me? I thought you were honest with me all this while, I just discovered that you aren’t different from the others. You are a cheap liar, just like the others.” She yelled, making Jace widen his eyes at her words.“Is there anything I did that warrant you to say all these? For some da

“It looks like you were poorly raised up. Is that how you address the people who clean up your house? You owe them a minimum of respect.” Jace addressed himself, still standing out of the gate.“I don’t see how that concerns you. Or does it anyway?“ Daryl halted, then began clapping his hands and laughing. “Anyway, you are both from the same league. I can now understand why you are defending her. Well-as you can see, I don’t have a lot of time to waste. What do you want here?” He came back to his question.“I know Amelia spent the night here. I would like to know if you ain’t ashamed? How dare you take a married woman to your house? Don’t you have respect for others?” With anger coursing beneath his soul, Jace bombarded.A broad smile escaped from Daryl’s lips. This was just what he wanted. He was on the right path. Just one more step then he was going to succeed in pushing Jace to the wall.“And why should I be ashamed? Do you ever consider yourself as Amelia’s husband? Do you think

“I think we should take things slower. Let’s not rush things so we can learn to know each other better. Let’s define our priorities and goals.” Amelia mentioned while they were having dinner.“That’s true, you are very correct. I don’t want us to rush things. Let’s take the process gradually.” Jace confirmed.They spent another hour and it was time to leave. Jace opted to drop her at her house but she insisted that she wants to get a cab.“You have to chill, I’m not gonna allow you to go home on your own.” Jace insisted as he opened the car door for her. Left with no choice, she entered.She didn’t want in any way to be a burden to him, that's why she kept on refusing most of his services. This one she wasn’t going to escape.“Have a sound sleep.” Jace said. He dropped her in front of her gate and waved his hands at her.“Thanks, do have a nice sleep too.” Once he dropped her, he was off to his father’s house. It was literally two weeks since he had last set his foot in their house.

Elsy summoned her courtage and managed to go back to her house. She went there for just two reasons. Firstly, to get her luggage out of his house and secondly, to confront him. If he thinks he was going to go free of charge then he should step off his high horse. She went through his documents and fell on allthe contracts he signed with Marchburry. Going through every damn content, she was able to go through the terms and conditions of the contact. Indeed, Jace didn’t lie when he said Carlos' automobile no longer belonged to him.“My god, how come I didn’t see all this? I have been living in this house for as long as possible and it was just below my nose. How stupid I could be.” Elsy yelled at herself. She continued going through some documents of his. She found a pull of money. Not minding how much it was, she removed five lots of it and put that in her purse. She now kept the other pull back in its rightful position. When she heard the door creaking, she knew it was Carlos. She

“Start the car, we are visiting my father. I hope his maids are aware of my visit?” Jace asked Angelo as he struggled to arrange the files that laid scattered on his table.“Yes, young master. I told them already. The cook asked to know what you’ll love to eat. In no particular order, I stated all meals you love.” Angelo stated.With a smile, Jace heaved heavily. “Thank you, Angelo. Just give me some minutes, when I get done we will go home.” Jace proposed.“Oh, young master let me help you out.” Angelo proposed but Jace refused. He said he could do it on his own.Done at Storm, Angelo accompanied him home. He took his bath, wore one of the expensive suits he got and associated it with an expensive brogue. Looking at himself, he was ready to reintroduce himself to the world.“I’m ready, we can now take our leave.” He said. Angelo opened the door for him and sauntered out, heading to his father's mansion.In the surroundings, he could come into view with his father’s gate. It was bold

Twenty four hours passed and Daryl was still not home. He had spent the night at a nearby bar where he kept drinking and commanding for others.“Serve me and then serve the rest here in my bills. I’m gonna pay for all of them.” He ordered after he had taken his fifth bottle of beer. It was visible that he was tipsy and his statement was as a result of his drunkenness. The bartender knew him so he did just as he said. He served each and everyone present a bottle of beer.“Thank you biggest boss,” Those were the words the young dudes uttered after getting a bottle of beer free of charge.“You kids are all welcome,” He raised his hands and accepted their recognition. He was someone who was in love with those kinds of words.In forty minutes he was done with his drink. He called the bartender to sage him another drink. Quickly, the dude burst out with another bottle in his hand.Once the beer was opened, he sipped for a while before depositing it on his table. He glared and noticed that

“Look at me this teenager, who do you take yourself for? Is it because you had the opportunity to get married to a beautiful and wealthy lady who took you in and sponsored your uselessness?” Robert said. At the end of his statement, he stressed out the last word.“It’s not only about getting married to her. But if calling me useless is because you are interested in her then you can have her to yourself, I don’t care about that. But don’t call me useless ever in your life.” Jace warned.“Get lost, you are useless and that won’t change what I feel regarding you.” Robert challenged him.“Since you are too relaxed and proud of yourself, I’m gonna show you what I have reserved for you.” He said and reached for his pocket. He brought out his phone and dialled Corey’s number. Within seconds of ringing, he picked up his call.“Young master, it’s my pleasure to be on the phone with you. Is there anything I can do for the young master?” Corry asked, his voice growing softer.“Yes, there’s some

“Fired, Sir?” Her eyes widened at this statement. What did she do for her to warrant such evil treatment from him?“Yeah, you heard me correctly. You are here by fired. I don’t want to meet you anytime I come around, like I won’t take it lightly with you.” He made it crystal clear.She raised her hands and dropped them on her head, “Sir, is there anything bad I did? All these years I have served Storm with passion. I have always been loyal and punctual. I am always at work and always delivers at time. If not for that useless Angelo, I wouldn’t have been sent home for two weeks. It’s his fault and not mine.” Alma tried to explain herself.Jace’s face became dark when she referred to Angelo as useless. He would never allow anyone to talk down on Angelo no matter if he was only his driver.“Hey, watch your mouth. This is not the place where you can use any kind of slang.” He said, his brows furrowing, “Do you think just being at work on time is all that is required to run a successful co

“This is a true definition of our lives can change at all times. Can you imagine I just got to found out I was working for my husband without knowing? I had signed contracts with his companies without even knowing they belonged to him.” Amelia said desperately.“I will advice you to start using the term ex-husband as from today, because I’m sure he is gonna cimd back for you. He won’t spare you when he begins the divorce procedure.” Elsy reminded her.“I am still his legal wife, Elsy. You aren’t tell me what to do or how to adress him. He is still my husband.” Amelia yelled.“Oh, darling. Please can you come down your high horse? The same husband you had accepted someone else’s proposal? The same husband you asked him to pack out? Is that the same one you are talking about?” Elsy bombarded.It just dawned on her that she had not treated Jace in the last couple of months. She and her mother were the same. She had everything her mother instructed her to do.“I will be in my room now, I

“I was preparing my revenge.” The word stick them again. There was an absolute silent, as if someone had taken their voices and ran away with it.Amelia finally gathered her courage and spoke up, “So we’ve been staying under the sand roof and you thought it wise to hide things away from me? As couples, that isn’t supposed to take place. It simply shows you hsve been fake from the onset.” Amelia declared.“Oh, spare me that shit. I did everything I could to be a good man to you. Yet you didn’t see that. You kept treating me like a little toy.” Jace bombarded.“What about my grandmother? What did her company got to do with you? What wrong did shd ever do to you?” Amelia continued with her question.“That question is very simple to answer.” Jace started talking, “She was constantly talking down on me. She always insulted and said all kind of trash concerning my unknown family.” Jace pocketed his hands before saying.“That wasn’t her fault. It wasn’t her fault that she didn’t like you. Y

“Daryl, who is Tessie?” The question played again in his head.Daryl removed his hand off Amelia’s shoulders and took some distance. Amelia turned and looked at him, “What is he talking about? And who is Tessie in the first place?” She implored.“You can ask him, I don’t know what he is talking about.” Daryl said pretentiously. His eyes were interlocking with that of Jace.“Jace, if you don’t know what to say walk away and let me go have a nap.” Amelia started talking.“Why are you in a haste? Look him in the face and see how unfree he is. Do you think he doesn’t know who I am talking about?” Jace continued with his questioned. “Daryl, what is he trying to say? Who is this Tessie lady?” Amelia took some distance and asked.“Yes, Daryl, we need to know who is the Tessie, Jace is talking about.” Elsy added as she was eager to know what misery was behind the Tessie.“How can you ask Amelia to het married to you when you already have a fiancée? Is that normal?” Again, Jace asked. This qu
