Jake Klien: Rise Of The Young Trillionaire

I ALWAYS GET WHAT I WANT!

Jake had just finished work for the day at Les Royales restaurant. As soon as he was allowed to leave, he took off his work uniform, hurriedly got on top of his bike, put on his backpack and put on his airpods. He switched on his favourite music playlist and sang along to the songs as he paddled swiftly towards his destination.

Forty-five minutes later, He arrived at his destination, KwikStop Pizza. His night job where he had to do several door to door deliveries until daybreak. He went in, put on his uniform and resumed immediately. He hurried to his boss's office in order to receive his delivery list for the night as well as the deliveries to be delivered. He arrived at the office door and then knocked.

“Hold on. I'll be with you in a minute!” his boss yelled from within the room.

Sam, an employee came out of her office, sweating profusely, smiled at Jake and said “Hey man, you're here earlier than usual. The DILIGENT delivery guy.” he let out a loud laugh.

His muscular figure seemed even larger as he laughed, his skin perfectly tanned. Samson Larkspur was a professional kickboxer, bodybuilder and gymnast, and on top of all that, he was very handsome and pulled girls wherever he went without even having to bat an eyelid.

“Glad to see you too, Sam.” Jake replied bluntly, trying in futility to hide his disgust.

“Oh, don't be like that Jakey. I'm as close to being your boss as you can think, I mean, I was just in there screwing your boss. She seems like a nice professional lady, but deep down, she's a very skilled slut.” he said, licking his lips.

“She sure knows how to—” Sam started.

“—Come in, Jake!” his boss called, inadvertently interrupting Sam.

“Thank God” Jake muttered to himself as he walked into the office.

“Good evening ma'am.” Jake greeted her.

“Good evening Jake. How are you today?” she asked, her voice unstable as she was still heaving and sweating as well.

His boss, Maria Rodriguez. A woman in her early thirties, beautiful, curvy, naturally friendly and smart. Her major flaw was that she showed all kinds of signs pointing to the fact that she was a nymphomaniac as she has had an affair with every single guy that has worked in the pizza place. He had spotted her making out with a lot of other guys in cars, dark alleys and once on the sidewalk when he was jogging one morning. And she seemed to have been making very obvious advances towards him.

“I'm fine, thank you ma'am. I'm here to get the orders list and also the deliveries I need to deliver tonight.” Jake replied.

“Yeah, about that. We have only a few deliveries tonight so I'm going to email them to you. That's how it will be from now on. So I'd be needing your email address and phone number.” She explained.

“Um …sure! Although, I don't have a pen with me ma'am.” he explained.

“That's not a problem. Type them here.” she said, handing him her phone.

“Oh okay!” he replied as he typed in his email address and phone number into the phone. “I've typed it in ma'am.” he said, handing her the phone.

“You can go to the lobby, once you get my email, you can pick up the deliveries to be delivered from there.” she told him.

“Alright ma'am.” he said, turning to the door. He opened it and left the office.

“Let's see how long you will last, pretty boy. You can't run from me for long. I want you, and I always get what I want.” she said as she let out a soft, satisfactory laughter and caressed herself.

Jake was stressed, as his boss had actually obtained his contact directly from him, using an indirect way to ask. He wondered what she would ask him to do, and whether she would fire him if he didn't.

“Okay Jake. Don't get too stressed. I mean, she collected your email for work purposes, she's not that bad—yes, she is—but maybe, she's just going to use your contact for work purposes.” Jake thought to himself.

He sat in the lobby, waiting impatiently for the email to come in so he can get his deliveries done with. He got so uncomfortable while waiting. The email finally came in, he was sceptical at first, but opened it anyway and fortunately for him, it was the delivery list and nothing attached. He went to the storage room, took his delivery orders, mounted his bike and delivered the pizzas to their various destinations. He had his airpods on, felt a bit relaxed compared to how he was when he stood in front of his boss. He couldn't shake off the thought that his boss wanted to sleep with him. And worse, he feared that if he disagreed, it would cost him his job. He was in a dilemma, and that put him in a gloomy mood.

Jake knocked on the door inside the hotel room. This was his last delivery for the day and he couldn't wait to get home and call his girlfriend.

“ Coming,” a voice said from inside the hotel room while Jake waited patiently for the customer to come take his deliveries.

On opening the door, Jake was shocked to see that it was his worst nightmare.

The boy who always bullies him in the university.

“ See whom we have here,” the boy smirked, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

“ I came to deliver your pizza” Jake ignored him and stretched the delivery forward.

“ I wasn't expecting you to be the delivery boy, but it turns out that you're a low life bastard,” the boy said.

“ Weston? Who is that?” A feminine voice said from inside the hotel room making Jake frowned.

To him, the voice sounded so familiar but he just couldn't piece together where he heard the voice from.

“ Oh, it's your lowlife boyfriend, Jake” Weston said and that was when it dawned on Jake that the feminine voice belongs to his girlfriend, Zara.

“ Hey” Zara waved at Jake who was so dumbfounded.

“ What are you doing here? Inside a hotel room with this bastard” Jake gritted. His face was cold and void of emotions but inside of him, he was trembling and was praying that whatever happened between them wasn't what he was thinking.

“ Are you a fool? What does a girl and a boy do inside an hotel? Of course we had sex, you dumbass” Weston chuckled and grabbed Zara by the waist.

“ Zara this isn't true, is it?” Jake asked as his grip on the pizza box tightened.

“ Yes it's true Jake, so move on. I can't afford to continue dating a pauper like you. Just take a look at me” Zara said and turned around in a 360 degree, shaking her ass cheeks in the process while Weston stared at her ass lustfully.

“ I need a man like Weston in my life, you can't afford the life I want Jake, just take a look at yourself. After class you make deliveries and your monthly income is just two thousand dollars which can't even buy a Louis Vuitton bag, let alone cover all my expenses” Zara said rubbing Weston's chest.

“ But you said you love me, Zara? We promised to stay with each other through thick and thin, so why did you betray me like this?” Jake shouted, his eyes filled with uncontrollable tears. He just couldn't tame his emotions at that moment.

“ Yes I promised to stay by your side Jake, but not anymore. I have my own life to live, I just can't continue bending to your standards just because I love you” Zara said, her face void of emotions and her words cut through into Jake's heart like a dagger.

“ So if I become so wealthy like Weston, will you come back to me? I know you don't love him but you're rather after his money”

“ Jake, I will come back to you if you become rich but I don't think that will happen in this lifetime, because you will always remain a poor pauper” Zara said and shut the door right at Jake's face.

“ Ahhhh!” Jake shouted in anger as he smashed the pizza boxes on the wall.

“ Get one thing straight, Zara and Weston. I will surely make you both pay, that's a promise that I am sure to fulfil even if it's the last thing I do” Jake said, wiped his tears and walked out of the hotel.

******

On getting home, Jake was exhausted from crying so he brought out some analgesics which he had bought at a nearby pharmacy, because of the showdown with Drex earlier that day at work and the betrayal from Zara, his ex-girlfriend. He took the medications along with a glass of water. He had some pizza he had taken home from work, and lay in bed to sleep. He was half asleep when his phone's email notification beeped. He wondered who it might be from. He grabbed his phone and almost immediately dropped it after he remembered that he had given his boss his email address and phone number that night, and it was possible that she sent an email.

When he opened the email app, the email he had received was from a private undisclosed email address and user.

He decided to open the email, after all, it might be work based.

He clicked on the email and was shocked by what he saw.
