Return of the secret billionaire heir

Chapter 4

He got outside, on the street and his phone chimed. He checked it to see an alert of billions.

Before he processed anything, he heard a female voice. “Young Master”

Lucian tilted his neck to the voice direction and saw a young woman staring at him.

“Young Master, have you seen the alert?” 

Lucian looked at the young lady standing in front of him, looking surprised.

“Did you hack my phone?? How did you know that I received an alert?” Lucian questioned, and the young Lady just bowed slightly

“The $50 billion is just for you to do shopping”

“ $50 billion to get new stuff?” Lucian exclaimed in total shock, and the young lady nodded, maintaining a straight face, not smiling.

“ Yes, young master. This is just the tip of an iceberg, you have a lot of properties and wealth that you are not aware of.” The young lady said and started walking towards a black car.

“Young master, can we go,” 

“To where?” Lucian questioned.

“To your house, one of the houses you own. Like I said, you have a lot of properties under your name, and now it's your time to take over,” She said.

“If this is a scam, I will report you to the police for fraud” Lucian threatened and she nodded, not getting affected by his threat.

“Sure, Boss”

Lucian followed her inside the vehicle and the driver ignited the car engine and started driving.

“Forgive me, young master for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Sydney Walker, a personal assistant to your late Father, Jacob Sterling, and I have been serving your family for ten years now. I was the one that bailed you from the police station.” Sydney said to Lucian.  Sydney gave him some documents, and he looked at the documents as tears almost escaped his eyes.

He can't believe what's happening to him. Just some minutes ago, he caught his wife cheating on him, he almost went to jail for a crime he did not commit, he was wallowing in pain, and suffering not knowing his life was going to change overnight. Is this a scam or a miracle, his life is about to change drastically overnight, and finds it hard to believe.

“Young master” Sydney called, snapping him out of his thoughts.

“ Can you call me Lucian instead? I am not comfortable with the name young master'" Lucian stated, and Sydney gave him a disapproving look.

“ I dare not, young master.” She uttered, and slightly bowed for Lucian who sighed immediately, she didn't smile and yet gave him huge respect. He couldn't persuade Sydney to call him by his name instead of using honorifics.

“So where are you taking me to now?” Lucian asked, going through the documents before closing the papers.

“ Young master, I'm taking you to one of your houses like I said earlier, and we will soon arrive,” 

******

The driver pulled over, and Sydney opened the car door for Lucian who hopped out, feeling uncomfortable.

“I'm not okay with the way you are treating me,” Lucian said.

“I'm sorry, Young Master,” 

Lucian just sighed, she's never going to listen.

They went inside a well-furnished building.

The living room walls are adorned with pristine white wallpaper and painted with a lustrous white finish, reflecting light that makes the room feel spacious. The flooring is made of gleaming white marble and plush white carpeting, providing a soft and luxurious feel underfoot.

Lucian took a seat, and Sydney sat in front of him.

“ Young master, I am really glad you're alive, do you know how I searched for you for years before I could find you?” Sydney asked, with worry etching on his face.

“ Young master? Why do you keep calling me that? I don't believe those documents you showed inside the vehicle, why would I be a billionaire overnight? and why would you send billions to my account” Lucian asked, and stood up to leave when Sydney stopped him before he could leave.

“ I know you too well, young master, how would I possibly mistake you for someone else? It's rather impossible”

“ And I am no young master, my name is Lucian Sterling. I can't be a billionaire, and I am an orphan who doesn't even know his parents, so how then am I a young master? c'mon, it's not possible, are you trying to scam me?? I don't have any money, I'm a poor wretched man” He stated, and Sydney sighed.

“Please have your seat,” 

Lucian reluctantly took his seat as he found it hard to believe I was a billionaire with a lot of assets. It's not possible, Lucian is just an ordinary unworthy son-in-law.

“Young Master, you're a son of a billionaire, and with the wealth you own, no one can ever beat your net worth in ten years, I'm not scamming you” Sydney said, and Lucian just chuckled while staring at her.

He still finds it hard to believe he's an heir, a billionaire at that, just like that. Why him of all people? She's joking with him.

“Are you pulling a prank on me, or is this some kind of a comedy or drama?? Because all that you have been saying sounds like a joke to me,” He uttered because he couldn't wrap his head around what Sydney had been saying since and found her words funny.

“ So Young Master, you don't believe me?” Sydney asked and Lucian chuckled.

“Definitely yes,  I don't believe a single word you've been saying” Lucian claimed, and Sydney chuckled, facing sideways, as she brought out a document from the drawer and placed it on the table. 

She gently pushed it to Lucian who stared at her suspiciously for a while before opening the document. 

“ I guess you would believe me when you go through those documents” Sydney said, Lucian reluctantly took the documents and started going through them, but he stopped midway when he found something shocking.

His name was written boldly on the documents, his date of birth, his parent's names, and the companies owned by his father, Jacob Sterling 

He was hated by his sister-in-law, mother-in-law, and father-in-law but most, especially his sister-in-law who picks fights at any opportunity she gets. She would curse Lucian insanely and would make him do all the chores even when there's a maid. 

He does all sorts of menial jobs to meet his wife's expensive lifestyle and gets hit by people outside for his rough life.
