Mourning his grandmother for days and suffering in the cell. Richard became week and lean. His body became sore. He felt like if he would another day in police custody,he was going to loss.

After a week,luck smiled at him and he was released by the officer.

"Mr Scott asked for your release on one condition. He asked for you never to go close to miss Chloe. He placed a restraining order on you too." The officer announced and Richard just walked out.

He was too shattered to listen or pay attention to the officer. Who will he run to now? What's the essence of living? Where will he go? Who will he lean on?

He walked out of the station into the cold night.

"Maybe I should just end it all. Maybe I should just die." He said.

He walked passed the bridge but he couldn't jump into the water. He was scared. He really wanted to end it but he needed a little push.

He stared at the water again but he couldn't. He couldn't jump in. He moved away from the side railings.

Richard walked down the road,thinking about his life and how lonely his life would be. He was brought back to reality when a car almost hit him. He made no move as he just stood still on the road hoping the car would run him over and he'll finally die but his prayer wasn't answered. Instead,a Lamborghini venono parked in front of him and a man cladded in an expensive Luis Vuitton suit.

"Young master! Young master!" The man bowed as he came down from the car.

"Who are you?" Richard asked him awe. Why would such a man riding the most expensive sport car in the world call him young master. Is he dreaming? Or after spending so much time in jail he was hallucinating?

"I am the Desmond the family butler of the Campbell's. We've finally found you sir. Your grandfather has been waiting for years just to find you." The man said and Richmond could only chuckled.

Is he crazy?

"I hope you're not on cocaine or something?" Richard asked and the butler shaked his head.

Seems the officers must have mixed something with his food because this must be far from reality.

"Maybe I'm high on something?" Richard asked himself.

"Please just leave me alone. I'm not in the mood for any more pranks." Richard said and walked away.

"Sir! Please don't leave. Sir Campbell will be hurt if he finds out his grandson didn't accompany me after finding him." Mr Desmond stopped Richard from leaving.

"Stop messing with me. If Scott sent you to play another prank on me I won't take it easy on you. I just want to be left alone. I just lost someone so special to me." Richard yelled as tears began to flow down his eyes.

"I'm so sorry about that young master. Just accompany me and you won't be sad ever again. You'll become happy for the rest of your life." Mr Desmond assured and Richard gave up. He decided to follow me Desmond.

What more can he lose? What else can happened to him? Besides I'm on the verge of dying so nothing new could surprised me anymore.

"Fine. I'll follow you." Richard said and the butler smiled.

The butler helped him open the back seat door and Richard got in. The butler got in and drove off.

After an hour of pure silence in the car,the butler stopped in front of a huge gate.

The mansion was a yellow huge house which sat on two hectares of land. It was a stunning sight to behold. The beautiful gardens filled with varieties of flowers. The butler drove in and stopped in front of the mansion and he looked in awe.

Richard had never seen a beautiful mansion like this my entire life. Infact,he has never entered a place that looked so heavenly before. It felt like he was in heaven.

"Am I still alive? Or did the car hit me?" He pinched himself as he turned around to check the car.

The windows,the numerous balconies overlooking the rolling hills was a beautiful sight.

The guards outside cladded in suit ushered us in.

They walked in and he was amazed. The nice scent of the house welcomed him. Everything just seems so expensive. The sweeping staircase,the mind blowing art that hung on the wall and the beautiful chandeliers that illuminated the room.

The chairs,the television,the amazing architecture and the ceiling,everything was just so mind blowing.

It was too much for Richard to take in all at once.

"Welcome home young master Campbell." The butler bowed and smiled at him feeling fulfilled. He has fulfilled his duty and brought the long lost young master home.

Richard was still taking in the breathtaking house in.

"My son!" An old man cladded in suit walked in. Mr Richmond Campbell hugged his son as he saw him.

"Good evening sir. Who are you sir?" Richard asked suspiciously.

"I'm your grandfather. I'm Richmond Campbell. It's been so many years." He said and hugged Richard tightly.

"My grandfather? How? This isn't possible? The only family I have is my grandma and she's dead." Richard took some steps away from Richmond.

"I'm your grandfather. Your parents got into a car accident when they were coming from the airport. They went for a press conference in England. When the police and ambulance got to the spot,you were nowhere to be found. Since then we've been searching for you. It's been 14 years." Richmond said and Richard was surprised.

He pinched his arm just to be sure he's not dreaming.

"So you mean I'm your long lost grandson?" Richard asked again just to be sure.

"Yes,you are my grandson. I'm so happy you're back. You have to come take control of all my businesses. I'm tired and I need to retire." Richmond said and Richard moved towards him.

"You mean I'm going to take over your Businesses? As in I'm going to be a CEO?" Richard asked and his jaw fell. He sat on the soft couch and Richmond followed suit.

"Yes son. You will take over Campbell consortium." Richmond said.

"I'm studying business administration. I've done lots of projects and research and I've never heard of Campbell Consortium before." Richard said.

"Wow! Well it's because we own shares in most of all the big companies you see and we basically own them. Campbell consortium is literally world-class." Richmond said and Richard was amazed.

"Companies like Forbes,Watson Group of companies and Phillips electronics etc are under Campbell Consortium. I own about 90% of their shares." Richmond informed and Richard tugged hard at his hair.

"This is crazy. I'm surprised sir. You mean I'll soon own most of those big companies in the world? I'll become a CEO soon and I'll control these companies?" Richard asked and Richmond smiled.

"Yes,all I need you to do is to sign the paper and finish from college with good grades so you won't be looked down upon by the board members." Richmond said and Richard was happy.

Tears filled his eyes as his suffering days are over. His life has now been upgraded and he would soon be a boss.

    "Go upstairs and get some rest. I need to attend a zoom meeting urgently." Richmond said as his phone beeped."Sure sir. Thanks for finding me sir. Thank you so much." Richard answered."I had to. You're my grandson. My own blood." Richmond replied.With a clap of Richmond's hands,the maids and the butler stormed the living room immediately."My grandson is finally back. Please take him to the room and give him whatever he wants. I don't want to hear any complain from him." Richmond said and they all bowed."Let's go young master." The butler said and Richard followed them.They reached a white door and the butler opened the door. The room was huge and gorgeous. A king size bed laying in the middle of the room,a huge television hanging by the wall and a wardrobe by the order side.
