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 nurses in that hospital. In fact, she didn't like the fact that she had to go through this again. Honestly, when she saw Alec being brought in, she didn't want to deal with someone like him and that was because they were usually thorns in the flesh. They never had money to pay and had to beg for their lives. In the end, the hospital management would look at them in pity and set them free. In turn, the staffs got to suffer for it. She didn't want that again. This time around, she had thought of talking as soon as he starts to begs like the other poor hospital mates. However, he didn't seem to have the look of pity on his face instead as he brought out his phone as soon as he got to the counter.Alec decided to use the money the system had given him to know if it was real. It was a thing for an amount of money to be in one's account and it was another thing for it to be withdrawn effectively. But then, he got the shock of his life when the account number was provided to him and he has it transferred. “Done!” Alec said and smiled like a crazy man as he left the hospital leaving the staffs in shock. They had never witnessed something like that before. Alec wondered what and how else he had to spend the money in other to keep getting rewards even though he didn't fully understand what exactly the system was talking about yet but he was happy! The money he never thought of achieving in his lifetime, he had it like a miracle! It was a heaven on earth moment for him as he stood outside looking for the car the system had promised him. After all, if the money was real, the car would also be real. He turned towards his right only to see that some ladies had gathered around a particular car gushing at it. It was a Bugatti La Voiture Noire! His dream car.Good radiance! Things were really working so well for him! Alec thought as he bounced towards his car while smiling at the ladies comments.“Do you perhaps know whom owns this beautiful car? I heard only few people owns it in this country” A middle aged woman said.“Yes. I wish the owner of this car will notice me. Then, I can divorce my poor stricken husband” Her companion said.“You keep gushing over it but then, you will always end up in your poor Serena car” the first lady said. For a while, Alec stared at the two women. They seemed middle aged but were fighting over his car? It turned out that the two women who were gushing over Alec's car had wished that their husbands would get them something like that. They wanted to attend occasions also while everyone gushed at them. They both were from middle aged homes.Now, they wanted to do all it took just to be with the owner of the car.“Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Whom do you think the owner would go with? I prefer to stay here and wait for him instead! Moreover, I got here first!” The second woman said in anger.“Get away! Do you want to scratch the car?” Alec decided he had seen enough. Two women being immature, fighting over him indirectly was not what he wanted to start his happy day with. Instead, the man walked towards them and cleared his throat.“Boy, who do you think is more prettier between us? Imagine that as handsome as you are, you have to go out with one of us, whom do you think you will end up with?” The first lady asked. Alec looked at them with no expression on his face. He was handsome. He knew that but because he was poor, people didn't seem to notice and now, he was glad that some women noticed. Instead, he brought out his keys and tapped on it. The car jerked to life immediately. The two women gasped in shock. He was the owner of the car they had sat down so comfortably. This was a man that they could give birth to.“Would you excuse me? I need to drive my car”“How come? How are you the owner of the car?” Even though they did not look down on him, they didn't see him as someone who could own such an expensive car which was worth millions of dollars. They were expecting some first or second generation men that came out in full swag while they threw themselves at him. “Because I am a second generation” He said proudly or else, how did he want to explain to them that something he didn't fully understand yet gave him money? He thought.“Then, may I be your second generation wife?”“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
“Father, you shouldn't talk this way. We all know about the economic situation of things in the country. Obviously, Mr Alec is trying his best” Hadiza had said in anger when she saw her father pacing, as he checked the time on the old grandfather's watch. Her father was Alec's landlord but then, she seemed to like everything about Alec. He was humble and easygoing despite the fact that he was poor. Her father, being a wise man knew all of these. He had thought that as soon as Hadiza was back from college, she would find someone better and settle with him but Alec, that poor man still being in his house did not make her reason things. That was why he had decided to throw him out of his compound this time around. “Are you crazy? Situation of things? He's behind rent for many months now. If the other tenants do not pay, how on earth do you want me to send you to school?” Hadiza fisted her hands instead. “Not like the house is in good condition either. It is poorly constructed and
