“Don’t get angry, it has already happened. Besides, she volunteered to do it. She wanted to hold on to the position so it would not be given to Alex. Even in her grief, she still believed you were alive and you would come back someday. The board immediately accepted her as the CEO because they know she is a better candidate. In fact, she was supposed to take over after your father was removed, instead of you, but she stepped down so you would lead, because she wants the best for you.”As Gale said that, Cade relaxed. He had thought that they forced his sick mother to work for their own selfish gain. It turned out that she was only looking out for his best interest. He listened as Gale continued speaking."Your father however, was not in support of this. He wanted Alex to be the CEO. After all, Alex was his second son, and in the absence of his first, the second was to take over. He did not care what the board had to say about Alex being inexperienced in running a business and ignoranc
"I knew they were greedy, but I never realised just how far they were willing to go to achieve what they want. And I'm sure that all this is the work of Cassandra, her son is too dumb to come up with a plan on his own. Or maybe he's actually behind everything and has just been pretending to be dumb so we'll underestimate him while he plots behind our backs. Or it could even be your father's doing and they're all his puppets. He has resented you ever since you refused to give him back the company after his shameful removal as CEO." Gale said.Cade inhaled deeply and exhaled out. He was more than sure of his revenge now. Not only did they plot and carry out an assassination attack on him, they had caused the company so much loss. The company that he had worked so hard for, the company he lost his teenage life to. They would pay dearly for their atrocities. For causing his mother so much grief and making her get back to a hectic life when she should be retired and relaxing.Gale had fini
Cade chuckled at Gale’s surprise. “Why are you so shocked? I’m quite handsome, you know. Who wouldn’t want me as their son in law?” “Your mother will be glad to see you married at least. She was already pestering you about having a family before you went missing.” Galre replied.“Unfortunately, I no longer have a wife. The old man and his wife may have wanted me as part of their family, but his children and grandchildren hated me, my ex wife included. They pretended to accept me and agreed that I should marry Hailey, the granddaughter. I was happy to get married to a beautiful woman like her, but she wasn't happy because she didn't love me and that's actually fair. But everyone was hostile to me when the old man was absent, Hailey included. They hated me because the old man had a soft spot for me and it was like I had come to steal their shine. But that was not it, the old man just liked me because of what I did for him and he felt responsible for me because of my amnesia. Without
It was already late now. Cade decided within himself to go to the bank the next day. He wouldn’t be able to access all of his money just yet until he got back home, but what he could access would be enough for what he planned to do. Gale offered to let Cade sleep in with him in his room at another hotel where he stayed for this trip. It was the least he could do at this moment. He knew that if roles were reversed, Cade would help him, and that Cade was going to take his rightful place soon. As for Cade, he could not wait until morning when he could do what he had in mind. He was lucky to have remembered some of his account details as well, so recovering his account would be no big deal. He was also going to use his influence. He knew that an ordinary person could not recover an account after several years without observing some protocols, but he was sure that immediately he mentioned who he was, he would not have to go through all that. As he lay on Gale's bed, he heaved a sigh of re
Gale was beyond shocked as he heard what his boss said. He knew that Cade was pissed off at the way they dared to treat him when he was the Milton Conglomerate heir, but he never expected Cade to retaliate like this. Spending so much money for revenge, because definitely, the hotel won’t be sold cheaply even if it wasn’t a five star place. The ride was then silent till they got to the hotel, mostly because Gale was still processing everything. The hotel was filled with people loitering around, some of them booking new rooms, some of the others checking out, and a few just going in and out of the hotel. It was unlike the one where he and Gale had slept the night that was more classy and refined. This one was really busy. Cade went to the bored looking receptionist, it was the same one who talked to him rudely last time. The receptionist was another indication of just how trashy this place was, the man was busy looking at his phone while he was on duty."What do you want?" The recepti
“It sounds like a threat to me, Mr Dennis, if I remember your name correctly.” The manager said again with more boldness as his courage returned. “My name is not Dennis.” Cade said but he didn’t say his real name because he didn’t want to draw attention to himself before he rightfully took his place at his company. Who knows if the people that tried to kill him before had spies waiting to see if he would emerge somewhere. "Mr... whatever your name is, please I don't want you in my office anymore. I already told you that I won’t sell the place. I’ll have to call security to take you out of here." The man said, trying to pick up his phone, but Gale immediately placed his hand on the man's own to stop him. "Why, if I may ask? Why don't you want to sell the place? You are already running it badly." Cade said. Gale's hand was still on the manager's own. "My father built this hotel and handed it down to me as an inheritance before he died. Selling it would mean giving up on his efforts
Cade and Gale got to the hotel again and paid for another night."We're scheduled for eight in the morning," Gale informed Cade after booking the flight as requested. "Perfect."“I still think we can use the private jet without attracting attention. Everyone knows that I travelled here, they’ll assume that I used the jet to return. I’m just not comfortable with you sharing a plane with others. You’ve never been on a commercial plane, not even in first class. You’ve been using private jets since you were a child, this feels wrong.” Gale said.“Don’t be so worried, Gale.” Cade chuckled at the man’s concerns.“It’s just one flight. I won’t turn into a pile of dust just because I use a commercial flight. In fact, when I went on vacations with my ex wife’s family, we always travelled first class. The old man might have been a millionaire, enough to live comfortably but not enough to afford a private jet.”“That was different. You lost your memory then so you forgot all the luxury you grew
Cade woke up with the feeling of excitement pounding through his chest. Today, he would be leaving for his own city, his own place. It was a few minutes past seven, and the drive from the hotel to the airport was a thirty minute duration. Gale had already been up an hour before Cade, making some last minute arrangements like where Cade would stay when they landed and who would come pick them up as well, before their trip would even commence. For now, since he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn’t stay at his old penthouse. Maybe after he had revealed himself once more, he would stay at his old place. His mother had kept paying the rent on the place even when he was gone because she always believed her son would come back. She refused to believe that her only child was truly dead. She also hired cleaners to keep the place spotless and laundry services for Cade's clothes so they wouldn’t be affected and remain in good condition for his return, even though she knew they may be out o
