“We don't want you in this company again. Get out of here” The HR of Goldberg manufacturing company said as she looked at Alec Baldwin in disgust. She had never seen someone as irritating as him in her lifetime.

Not once or twice had they lost a contract all because of him. He dressed so shabby and was always on repetitive clothes which seemed like a dent to the company.

Often times, all because of him, the company would make sure to gift out clothes to each workers to wear on specific days but Alec would prefer his tattered blue shirt on black blacks and worn out shoes.

“But what have I done?”

“This is the fifth time we are losing a contract and it's all because of you! We can't keep paying you since our efforts are fruitless” The HR said in anger.

“But it isn't my fault.”

“Please let me have my job back. I promise you that I will change” Alec pleaded.

He needed this job to pay off his girlfriend's school fee and if he didn't get it, he was doomed for. This was the only way he could keep his girlfriend.

But Sheila, the HR cared less about that as she typed a contact on her phone and dialled a number. Instantly, Alec walked out of the company. He knew that she was about to call the security.

At that moment, his phone rang which disrupted him from what he'd seen. It was his girlfriend, Sophia. The only thing that gave him joy even though she seemed like she was giving him attitude for a while.

“Hello dear” Alec said and smiled.

“Where are you? I need to talk to you” She said harshly.

“I am right in front of my company.”

“Oh, there you are!” Alec heard a voice, he turned around to see his girlfriend.

“Babe, what are you doing here? I am not expecting you today?” Alec said and smiled.

Sophia scuffed instead.

“Let's break up”

“What do you mean by that? Are you sure that you would never regret your decision?”

“Regret my decision of being with a poor man that can't afford to take care of my needs? Are you crazy? Huh? See this bag? I got it from XXX” Sophia said.

XXX was one of the fastest leading brands that dealt with bags and shoes. Only the wealthy could afford it. He knew that was what Sophie had always wanted all these while but he couldn't afford it. Her fees were too expensive after all.

“But I love you, Sophia. You are the best thing that ever happened to me”

“Well, you are the worse I have ever come across with*

“Is it because of that man?” Alec asked. He knew she was flirting with the HR's husband for a while now. And they seemed happy together.

“What's your business if it is? What matters most is that I don't love you anymore. You're broke, ugly, wrinkled and stupid. You have nothing to offer me. I curse the day I met you” Sophia said. It broke Alec's heart because this was a woman he has spent his all on. In fact, because of her, he didn't have anything good to place himself.

“But. …”

“Here's the stupid ring you gave me!” She said, threw it to his face and walked out of the company. Alec looked at the HR's husband from a distance. He could see him smirk as he walked towards while he gave him girlfriend a peck.

“Don't take so long”

Apparently, Alec heard what she had discussed with her new lover.

“Hey”

“What do you want? You have my lover already” Alec said, feeling so much heartbreak.

Alec had been with Sophia for five years. They'd met in college when they both had nothing. Even though Sophie had let Alec know that she would never let him touch him, he still respected her decision of waiting till they got married.

“She was never your lover and we have been together for over five years now.

“What?”

This was the same year that the HR got married to her husband and the same year he met Sophie.

“She's beautiful. I love her and want nothing more than to fuck everything in her.”

That broke Alec's heart.

“And you think she would give you a chance to do that?”

“What do you think? We did it last night”

Alec laughed sadly. Sophie lied to him for five years? She claimed she'd never been touched by any man.

“I claimed her innocence five years ago!”

However, he wasn't sure he could withstand everything that had happened to him as he suddenly developed a heart attack which he had been battling with since he was young.

Few hours later, he'd had his eyes opened to a luxurious hospital room which he had never been to in his lifetime but something felt wrong somewhere. He seemed to be hearing things within him.

{Host is awake, weak but strong mentally}

{Flexi system is bonded already to the host}

{All host has to do is follow the instructions}

{Hello master, activate a total sum of 20,000,000 and instantly become rich}

“What's going on?” Alec muttered. All of a sudden, he could see a black screen right in front of him. Anyone who entered that moment would think he was mad. Of course he also thought that he was crazy.

{Activate a total sum of 40,000,000,000,0000 dollars and become more richer with a car. Green button needs to be clicked on to be activated on}

{Host must never bargain for anything and spend like a rich man for a week. Once host completes the task before the end of the week, reward will be given before moving to the next task. Host must never get tired of the money.}

{If host never completes his task, he is back to being poor}

{Host must watch his anger or he will lose rewards.}

Alec, out of curiosity pressed the green button instead.

{Congratulations, host is rich}

{Money has been deposited to hosts account details… Cambridge bank. ****2240. Car deposited outside and key is in the host's pocket. Remember, reward would be given after rules is observed eveytime}

{Host has also been cured of all ailment}

“Oh my goodness!” Alec screamed out in shock as he stared at his phone screen in shock. This was the first he would ever see in his lifetime.

“I'm rich? I AM RICH?”

    Alec unknowingly had screamed out in bewilderment which attracted the attention of the doctor and nurses. They rushed inside and hurriedly checked his vitae but found nothing. Alec looked at them in fear. Does this mean that he was cured already? The system said something like that!“AI………okay?” He stuttered. “I'm sorry but it looked like we did not check you well and…” “How much is my bill?” He asked, obviously shocked. The medical practitioners had thought that it was because of his illness that made him go into a state of shock but they didn't understand that it was because of something more deeper. “Four thousand dollars” On a normal day, Alec would have been bothered, wondering where and how he would be able to pay for that amount of money because he never had it but now? The story had changed. “Where would I pay for it?” “Vera, please make sure he pays the bills at the counter” The doctor said and left while Vera looked at him in disgust. Vera was one of the underpaid

    “How cheap! Tsk!” Alec said as he got into his car and drove out of the premises while the women looked at each other cheaply. If only Alec knew that they were willing to lay with him just to at least be in the car for a day. Meanwhile, Alec thought of what the women had said earlier. Does it mean that he wasn't fit enough to be owner of the car? Instantly, he thought of getting clothes but what if they decided to chase him out without finding out if he actually had money or not? He thought and ordered some nice clothes for himself. It didn't take up to two hours to get changed in a public toilet. Even though he didn't still seem like a really wealthy man, Alec still had some level of change within him. Just then, he noticed some commotion right beside him. Several reporters had gathered around a particular hotel while they talked about its failure. Alec shook his head at St Louis hotel right in front of him. This hotel, in fact, used to be one of the largest hotel in the cit

    Meanwhile, at the other side of the hotel, Sophie was furious at Victor, her boyfriend. All she wanted was to be the owner of St Louis hotel and show that silly man that she was way better than him but now, someone already got the hotel.“Baby, I promise you that I will get more for you” Victor said, while trying to pacify her while she frowned. “More for me? What the hell are you talking about? This is what I want! You promised to get it for me and now, someone else already got it!”“The money I was expecting was…”“Forget it! Not like I am important to you anyway. I am your side chick after all!” She said in anger. Victor scuffed. Didn't she know this before she threw herself cheaply at him? He thought again..“But I am doing everything possible to make sure that you be in the spotlight as my wife. And I will always get more for you” He said and carcassed her hands softly. “I wanted to show that loser that I am doing far better than the 1 dollars he gives me every week” Sophie s

    However, before Victor could control Sophie, she had walked up to him in anger. “What are you doing here?” She asked. “The same reason you are also here”“If you are here to beg me, I wouldn't take you back. I am happy in my new relationship!” Sophie said firmly. Alec laughed shortly at first and burst out laughing. Everyone thought he was really crazy. Crazy enough to think that what she said was funny. “Alec hasn't really changed a bit. He still follows Sophie like a puppy”“I can't believe that he would attend this party to ruin our mood.”“All the men here contributed money to make sure that our Queens deserves the treat here but Alec, being the loser that he is only shows up to eat. It only shows that he is nothing but a loser still”“Who gave him the card? I thought I was told that he wouldn't be able to enter because he couldn't afford ordinary transport to the venue of getting the cards?” The more Alec heard the statement, the more he laughed. He wasn't angry but he was

    Alec could hear the commotion as soon as he stepped out of the elevator including Harrison but it felt strange and that was because it was not only the fact that the commotion was one thing to settle but because the voice was utterly familiar. Alec just couldn't pinpoint where exactly he heard the voice. “This way, sir” Harrison said immediately they got to the entrance of room 106 only to come in contact with Sheila and one of his staff being bullied. “Where is the owner of this hotel? I will lock it down!” Sheila threatened. But within her, she knew that she couldn't do anything. She was just an HR and besides, her company was nothing compared to Alec's five star hotel. “What's going on?” Alec asked, not caring to show if he knew Sheila in the past or not. “What are you doing here? I thought you were fired? Hold on, why are you all so bent on ruining my day? Do you think I would give you a chance to explain yourself?” Sheila asked in anger and scanned through him. He was not

    “Hello” Alec excused himself towards a distance while notifying Harrison he would be back. “Alec, by this time tomorrow, I want your stuff packed away from my room. I do not want you anymore. You are a disgrace to manhood!” The old landlord said. “I also want to leave. I knew I should have called you earlier but…”“You must be crazy! You think I would let you leave without you paying everything?” He said in anger. “I will settle you later. I promise”“Later? When will it be? Next year? Just pack your load, give me my money and get out!” He said in anger and hung up. Alec smiled. In the past, he would have rushed home, wailing on his knees, telling him to give him more time and he would pay and then, he would think of explaining to Sophie that she would not get an allowance that week because his rent had to be paid but then, he would decide against it because he did not want to lose her. Surely, they would settle this later. For someone like him, that kind of place did not be

    “Sir, I would not want to make you indebted because of me” Debby said. In fact, she heard that he had paid for the hotel fees in full which only meant one thing, he was probably poor right now. What if he was not even the owner of the hotel and had paid for someone in his stead?“I never said so. In fact, I am happy to do this” Alec said and smiled. After all, he wanted to be done with his task and start the next task even if it meant paying more than what her bill stated. Suddenly, he looked ahead only to see Sophie and her friend. That crazy woman. What the hell was she doing here again after everything she had caused him? Alec thought. He could fill anger rush towards him as he watched her sit on his car. She had probably found out how wealthy he was. Now, he was more than convinced that women would flock wealthy men's side all because of money! “That's your car. I think your girlfriend is waiting for you and so, I will just go back and. ..”“Debby, there's nothing to be scar

    Alec did not know what to say. That would be the first time that he would receive such an offer. “A meal? Alright, I'm in for it. So, where is the venue?” Alec asked her. “About that, sir. I do not have the money to treat you to a fancy restaurant”“I will gladly go with you to any restaurant” Alec said. “How about….” Debby stopped abruptly on seeing someone coming. Then, she suddenly had a look of fright laced on her face. “Are you okay?”“Save me, please” Alec said. He turned around to see three group of men with a pictures in their hands. They looked like they came to find someone but ordinary. Alec knew this because he had once been given the opportunity to know this when he had issues with his few classmates back then in college. He held her hands instead and rushed towards a small closure. The moment they saw the both of them, they rushed towards them but lost track of them.“Who are they?”“My boyfriend's guards. He's a crazy man that is so obsessed with me and…”“We sho

    “Babe, you can't go. I promise you that I will take care of everything outside.” Debby insisted just as Alec had dressed in an Italian tuxedo suit and had his hair styled perfectly. “I feel like if I do not not go, it will only make me a coward and I do not want that to happen and so, I have decided that I will go’ Alec replied instead. Even though he had today planned out also, the schedule the system had given him to resolve everything that happened was just a day and he could not just throw that into the mud. “At least, hold on for Harrison to call. He's your worker and he will definitely help you resolve everything” Debby said and in the end, he agreed to stay at home. Meanwhile, Debby's phone had been ringing continuously and just as when she had seen it, she was surprised to have missed a call from her grandfather and an unknown contact. “Grandfather called me. I think it has to do with this issue but I promise you that you have nothing to be worried about because I will ma

    "Boss, I will come over tomorrow. I need to call some of the stubborn publishing companies” Harrison said. However, Alec scoffed lightly. He knew that this was the time that some of the publishing team would extort him. “If anyone does not want a sum of a thousand dollars to bring down whatever post about me, I suggest that you just let them do whatever they want!” Alec said firmly. “Did you say you will go face the media team?” Debby asked while he nodded and stared into space. He did not expect that the issue he never wanted to involve the cops had escalated and now, everyone thought he's a killer. Yet, he had just a week to make sure that everything was back to normal. “Of course. I should at least tell them something. If I do not say anything, it will only make me nothing but a Killer and I do not….”Debby shook her head. “You shouldn't go! If you do, it will only worsen things. You could get killed. I promise you that whatever you need, I will let you know. How about I run

    I'm worried that my business may be put to stop especially now that I am trying to collaborate with some business partners to build schools as expansion of my business” Alec said almost immediately. “I don't understand why all of these are happening. Have you been doing something behind me and…”“Debby, do you trust me?” Alec asked, a bit disappointed at her. She looked at him for a while and exhaled out. Of course she trusted him but it felt like she did not know him anymore. It didn't make sense that a news would just pop up about him and he wouldn't know the source of what happened and yet, it seemed like he was not saying anything about it. “I trust you but I don't know what to believe about this matter” Debby stated while he looked at her. “Few days ago, some set of people were caught on camera and had stolen the important files of some business associates. How could I let it slide? It turned out that they were working for one Eric and I don't understand”At the mention of th

    “You've been smiling all day. Is there something you didn't tell me?” Alec asked as he hugged Debby by her wrist while they watched a TV show.“I met someone that's as sweet as you are and when I seemed to be in trouble earlier, he helped me out” She said and smiled as she remembered the scene. Alec chuckled. “He swept you off your feet also? You know I did that also”Debby laughed shortly. However that was not what she meant. She had met Greg earlier at the grocery store earlier after she had an issue with a payment. However, they had talked about her best interest while they laughed it off over the coffee after shopping and now, he wanted to offer her a job.“Just like that?” Alec asked while she nodded and smiled. Somehow, that did not sit right with him but he knew he could not piss her off since she was in her best mood. “Would you rather work with me instead? I can easily promote you as the director and…”“Alec, you have your business at hand while I also have mine. I just w

    “Fortunately for us, grandfather is getting better and I was told that he would be on his feet soon. That only means one thing, the party may hold!” Debby said in excitement the moment she entered Alec's mansion. Alec however did not have his mind settled on what she said but her beauty. Every day, it seemed like she was getting more beautiful!“You're cute, do you know that?” He suddenly asked as he swooped her in his arms and gave her a peck while she blushed. However, Alec's phone beeped slightly. Ignoring it and wanting to spend more time with the woman he loved the most, he pecked her again. “I love you so much, Debby. Promise me that you will never leave me even if you find out something terrible about me* Alec said. Debby smiled and looked at him. “Why on earth will I want to leave you? You mean so much to me and I am definitely not leaving you!” She told him. At this moment, his phone would not stop ringing continuously.“Check out your phone”“I just want to spend time

    “It's really nice to meet with you, Mr Greg” Alec said and smiled as he shook hands with Greg who would not stop talking randomly. “Ah, yeah. I have always been anticipating meeting you and that was why I decided to make it a surprise visit and moreover, would you like to have a gift?” Greg asked as he brought forward a beautiful bunny while Alec smiled. For some reason, it seemed weird because they were meeting over some business meeting. However, Alec still decided to collect the bag. “Thank you, Mr Greg. Are you perhaps leaving soon? We should still do some business' together because it is evident that you are more of a pro in this industry than I am”Alec concluded. If he was able to meet up with several investors like him, it would make him richer and so, he could take the woman he loved places which wouldn't be a problem for him. {Kill him.

    Finally, after ten minutes, Helen and the director were able to enter the mansion while she gasped in shock. For a while, she had forgotten that she was with her husband and so, needed to maintain her balance. It made her wonder how handsome the owner of the estate would be if his house was this beautiful. “Darling, be on your knees!” Her husband had said but she was too stunned to kneel. If fact, she was dazed. The fact that this had always been the kind of setting she wanted in a living room got her wondering if it was a god living there. He definitely spent millions of dollars. Few minutes later, Alec walked downstairs coldly while he held a cup of coffee, his gaze fixed on the woman who had her eyes fixed on the scenery of the living room while her husband tried to control her. “Enjoying the view?” He asked suddenly while they both looked at him. He could see the shock laced on their face while they gasped. “Alec, what are you doing here?” Helen asked in surprise. “Didn't yo

    “Let's just get this done if you know you want to hold the party” Helen's husband said as they passed through a short path and was finally able to get Alec's mansion correctly. “Wow. His mansion is way bigger than ours. Is that why he seemed so crazy earlier?” Helen said and scuffed while her husband tapped her. You definitely want to spend the rest of the day here, in cold since you don't want to cooperate. “What do you mean by that? Are you not both here because we want to see him?” She asked. Just then, they walked up to some armed guards while Helen stared at the guards. Somehow, this was the kind of life she also wished for but when she could not even get that kind of lifestyle, she decided to settle for plan B. At that moment, the snow had started to make the weather become so unbearable while Helen embraced herself.“We want to see your boss. He is expecting us”Meanwhile, in his room, Alec, dressed in his bathrobe stared at the tv screen that was connected to what was goi

    “We cancelled the order. Can we have our money back?” Helen said in panic as she checked her phone again only to see that her friends were already at the estate. "Hey, I can't just let you make me be on the loss part. This is how I feed my family!" The baker yelled but the couple did not give her a listening hear instead. “Tom, what do I do?” She asked in panic as an incoming call came in. Have you tried speaking with the estate owner? I can't go down like this”She said again. “What about me? What should I do to the cake you ordered? Do you realize that I am here at all?"“Just hand over our money! We are trying to save for a better apartment and we need money. Please do whatever you can to help us and we promise you that we will pay back in whatever way” Helen said in desperation. "You should have thought about that before you ordered for cake. If you want me to hand over the money, you will go to the cops with me. Whosoever wins has the money and it's obviously me because you
