RAGS TO RICHES: BORN A BILLIONAIRE Chapter Nineteen
"Now, we're switching over to the business news. The biggest tech company Johnson Inc has announced a new CEO. He goes by the name Tyler Johnson. He's said to be the only son of the retired CEO. Johnson Morris the previous CEO had to step down because of issues pertinent to his health. This new development has been making waves on the Internet as everyone thinks Tyler Johnson is not fit for that position. Others say he is a newbie in the business world and the company will end up filing for bankruptcy because of his inexperience. Other people at on the positive side and they chose to respect Johnson's decision. They trust his choice because Tyler might have exhibited potential that made him worthy of assuming that lofty position. Nevertheless, everyone has got their fingers crossed, waiting to see if Tyler would successfully run the multi-million dollar company or if it'll soon be buried under the ash heaps of bankruptcy. That will be all from our end here at STAR TV NEWS. I'm y

"Welcome Sir" Maya muttered when her line of sight met with Tyler. Its a cozy Monday morning, a day every employee dreads because of the pressure that's attached to it. Tyler had a frown on his face and it made Maya hesitate for a split second. Baring her face in disappointment. Tyler strolled pass her after replying with a muffled "Morning" Tyler stormed into his office without staring at Maya, the fringes of his red tie swinging back and fourth on his white t-shirt. Sniffs evaded his lips when he slouched into his seat. He caressed his jaw - leaning back on the seat. Just in, he recalled that he was meant to pass an information across to Maya before we walked in, but obviously because he walked in really fast - he said nothing to her. He planned to use the telephone on his desk. But he changed his mind and sprang up on his feet. He approached the door slowly, unlike the quick swiftness and walked at while coming in moments ago. He narrowed his lips, eyes beaming radiantly. Tyler

Tyler had his heart stuck in his mouth when he stormed into the hospital. Random reflections skimming through his mind as he walked pass the reception. He caught a peek of Kara seating at the waiting area and he walked close to her. Kara turned when she heard vast and quick footsteps. She sough in relief when she saw Tyler. She swung around to the other side, beaconing him to seat beside her. "Kara what happened?"Tyler said, standing above Kara. The sad look on her face was enough explanation that everything is not fine, but apparently she'd have to let Tyler in, especially to why his father slumped and why she's seated here. "He was reading at the balcony when he slumped. I had to bring him down here" Kara said, without looking into Tyler's eyes. "Slumped? What could be wrong with him?" "The doctors said, its because he had a heart attack" Kara said and her tone damped. Tyler's eyes broadened when Kara mentioned 'Heart attack' Johnson must have been a workaholic all his life,
RAGS TO RICHES: BORN A BILLIONAIRE Chapter Twenty Two
Its the D-day. The day Johnson will be buried. Tyler hasn't had a decent sleep ever since the day the doctor broke the news of his father's demise to him. It feels like he's hearing voices whenever he closes his eyes and sometimes he wakes up with tears in his eyes. But he'd be layed to rest today. Tyler doesn't know what to expect. Only a few people know Johnson as a famous and wealthy man. That isn't a determinant to how rancorous his funeral will be though. Not like its a beach party or something. Just the funeral of a noble man who pass away - at the wrong time. *** Tyler walked out of the house. He peeked at the surrounding in a single gaze before he walked to the back. His heart tightened in fear of the unknown. Everything felt so unusual and weird and he needed to clear his head for a while before he departs to the funeral venue. He ascended the stairs that led to the rooftop. His father's rooftop. He had a clear view of the blue sky, he squint his eyes a bit as the sun ill
RAGS TO RICHES: BORN A BILLIONAIRE Chapter Twenty Three
Dear Will, You were awesome on the last episode of the STAR TV SERIES. It was so satisfying to see your character delve out of an abusive home. At first, it was difficult, but at least you have your freedom. Freedom against your abusive father who takes delight in attaching punches to your pale face. You gained freedom away from your junkie mother who pops prescription pills like champagne in a strip club. I enjoyed that part of the series because it portrays your character in a positive and growing light. And yet, you're always grabbing the stake by the edge. I wish I was in the same disposition with your character too. I wish I could swing into freedom, away from the pains that comes from losing a loved one. Yes Will. My father is dead. Don't laugh.I wish it was a joke too, but sadly its not, and I'm still hoping someone will wake me up from this nightmare. I was at the company when I got a call from Kara. She told me he slumped, and he was taken to the hospital. Will, do yo

Tyler squinted his eyes as he let go of the door. He paused at the entrance gazing into space. Ions of thoughts running through his mind. He took a step forward when he heard noises coming from Kara's room. He's been in his late father's house for over a week now. It felt like enough time to mourn the deceased. But no amount of time is enough to grief. They'll always be remembered, and when they are - the heart will have a reason to constrict. Tyler walked past Kara's room. Feet stumping the stairs, he cascaded the stairs striding into the gigantic living room. He resolved his gape on the atmosphere. He approached the sofa. He wanted to indulge in one of his guilty pleasures - googling Keke Palmer's pictures, but he shrugged the thought off his mind. The TV was on and he thought it was the right time to catch up with his favorite TV show - the STAR TV SERIES. The show was about to be concluded though. He reached for the remote. He switched to the channel, and just in - Kara storme

Kara lips pouted into a silent 'wow' at the sound of Tyler's voice. It felt like he just said the dumbest thing ever. She broke eye contact, hunching her head in awe. She tried to speak, but every attempt ended in inaudible noises. "Are you sure about that?" she said, not sure what his answer will be. Tyler moved closer to her - filling the little space that was between them. He placed his hand on her shoulder - staring into her eyes as chaotic breathes evaded her lips. "Yes Kara. I want you to be there with me. You’re so intelligent, I need people like you around me. I don’t want to make mistakes. i need you around me to solidify that” Tyler said. He placed his hand around her face, engulfing her cheek in his palm. “Please come and join me” A sigh flew of Kara’s lips for the umpteenth time. Her heart missed a beat. She still doesn’t know what reply to give to him. She shrugged for a moment as her heart thumped so fast like it'll fall of her chest. She felt the responsibility Tyle

Tyler walked out of the store with a wipe and mop in his hands. His tight janitor uniform clinging softly to his skin. He paused at the entrance to gaze at the long frail of seats he's going to clean. A sigh escaped his lips, contorted and distant chatterings howling at his ears. That has been his dilemma for the past two years. He works as a janitor in a school football's team as a means to an end. He'd have to clean the seats at the auditorium, wash the bathrooms and do the laundry. Every part of his job was quite easy, but the laundry part was like hell on earth. The stinking stink of those boots and socks makes him want to throw up, and sometimes he's forced to cover his nose - in other to do the job. Pathetic. The football team's quarterback - Raul is Tyler's worst nightmare. He treats the poor janitor like some piece of worn out socks - ready to be deposited at the city's waste reserve. Tyler tries every trick in the book to avoid crossing paths with Raul, but there's no fli

Chapter Eighteen
It was Mandy. Ava's cousin. She crinkled her eyebrows when she locked eyes with Tyler. A smile appeared on her face and it suddenly shrunk into a grimace as Tyler approached her. At first, she was stunned at Tyler's drastic change. His hair is alluringly well carved, and his skin glows like the glass. "What are you doing here?" She said, before Tyler could utter a word. Her words caught him off guard and he froze a bit searching for the best statement to utter. Maybe it was time he put Ava in her place. In a place he's always placed people who rained on his parade and people who looked down on him when he had nothing. "I should be asking you that question?" Tyler ultimately summoned the courage to speak after a few seconds. He dipped his hands into his pocket, retaining eye contact. Staring at her, while she sat gave Tyler a slight bit of a sense of dominance. Still dazed, but Mandy conceived her bewilderment with a smirk. She crossed her legs on the sofa, her dark hair, elegantly

"You're welcome sir" a man whimpered, accompanying Tyler into the first floor of his father's company. Tyler's lips formed a silent wow as they both stepped out of the elevator. He had never been to a corporate place before and this was the first Tim, it felt like he just stepped into heaven. "This is the marketing department, sir," The man said to Tyler again. A smile curled on his lips. His demeanor seethed with joy and a drizzle of fear as if he was starstruck. Like he just saw his celebrity crush. "It is nice" Tyler muttered. His tensed voice was stuck somewhere between nervousness and surprise. He tried to disguise that by wearing a smile on his face and plunging his hands into his pocket. "What's your name?" Tyler asked. They bubbled with laughter again. Who wouldn't be happy if their new CEO is humble enough to ask their name? "Oh... My name is Allen" the man said. "Great" Allen and Tyler walked through a door. Several people passed them, each shooting surprised stares a
