We pray his soul find rest in the heavens with the Lord," a priest prayed under the cold rain, with a man holding an umbrella above his head.Mourners and weepers couldn't hold back their tears. Their soul were heavy due to the loss of this blessed soul.Emily stood beside Carlos, as they watched the priest pick up a shovel from aside, facing Carlos. "It's time my son. Do the honour of tossing in the first soil on the grave of your grandfather, late Don Pablo Montreal," the priest said to Carlos.He nods and takes the shovel from the priest.

The priest prayed."Amen!" The multitude chorused.After the burial, everyone went to their respective home, after sympathizing with Carlos once again.The grandson of the late Don Pablo Montreal, took their condolences calmly, before leaving the cemetery for his grandfather's mansion.Arriving inside with Emily and her family, Carlos took out his phone and contacted his grandfather's lawyer."Yes, yes. I'm at the mansion now. You can come over. I am ready," Carlos said, ending the call.He faces the Sanandrian's and let's out a smirk. "That was my grandfather's lawyer. He's on his way here to read out my grandfather's will. ""That's lovely!" Mrs Sanandrian jubilated.Emily hugged Carlos and showed her happiness in the news. "In a few hours, you'll be crowned the owner of Don Pablo's empire, " Emily said, kissing Carlos.Carlos proudly offered Emily and her family a seat in his grandfather's large living room. Giving them the go ahead to request for whatever they want."You're in my mansion. Enjoy yourselves," He bragged.Carlos signaled his grandfather's personal manservant, Frank, to serve everyone his late grandfather's expensive wine."You need to get used to me now, " Carlos said to Frank. Crossing his legs with pride.The manservant, who didn't like Carlos, submitted to Carlos' order. Going in to get the expensive wine."This is a beautiful mansion indeed, Carlos. Your grandfather sure has taste in fancy things, " Jeremy commented, hovering his eyes around the room.Carlos proudly corrected Jeremy. Telling him to refer to the mansion as his. Jeremy gladly does as he wants. Referring to Carlos as the Don.Frank, the manservant, arrives with the expensive wine and serves them all.Carlos lifts his glass up and makes a toast to his new beginning. "Today will Mark the day Carlos Montreal became a Trillionaire. And you all will witness it," He bragged.The Sanandrian's joined him in celebrating his new life. Congratulating him with Joy.While they were rejoicing, Don Pablo's lawyer stepped into the living room and met Carlos drinking with the Sanandrian's.When Carlos saw him, he welcomed the lawyer openly. "Come, join us, " He offered, helping the lawyer to a seat.But the lawyer turns down the drink offered by Carlos."It's amusing that you showed up fast after the call. But it's still fine. The earlier the better," Carlos chuckled.The lawyer hummed at him.Carlos sits down with the Sanandrian's, waiting for the lawyer to start. But the young man just stared at them."What's the hold up? " Carlos asked the lawyer. "Start reading the will. You are here now, so you know what must be done, " Carlos said."My apologies Mr Montreal, but I can't start until everyone is present," The lawyer said."Everyone is present? Who else are you waiting for?" Carlos asked, wondering who the lawyer is referring to.That's when the lawyer directed his eyes to the entrance and rose to his feet.Seeing him, Carlos and the Sanandrian's faced the entrance and are shocked by who they saw."Savador?!" Emily called.Savador stepped into the living room, with his eyes fixed on both Sanandrian and Carlos.Savador stepped into the living room, looking at the faces of the ones that ruined his life. "What are you doing in my mansion?!" Carlos roared, rising to his feet. Emily and her family joined Carlos too. They are stunned to see Savador in the mansion. "Who allowed this runt into my mansion? Who's in charge of the gates?!" Carlos roared out. Calling out to the securities and bodyguards in the mansion. "The audacity! He even came in with that dirty sandal of his. Goodness! This mansion is going to start smelling," Mrs Sanandrian complained. Holding her nose. "What are you looking for? Get out! " Jeremy roared at Savador. Savador stared at their faces, before dropping his eyes on Emily. When she saw him looking at her, she glared back at him. Pulling Carlos closer to herself. "Where are the guards for goodness sake! I want to know why this beggar is in my home! " Carlos roared. Seeing how he roared, Savador scoffed at Carlos. Stepping further into the mansion. When Carlos saw t
"This is Savador Rosario. His real name is Sebastian Montreal, the missing grandson of Don Pablo Montreal," The lawyer revealed. His words left both Emily and her family shocked. They wondered if the lawyer is pulling their legs. "That can't be possible. This is Savador the janitor. How is he related to Don Pablo? It's not possible! " Emily refused to believe it. "I smell a foul act here. This bastard is busy trying to prank us all. Carlos, get the police now! " Jeremy suggested. He too refused to accept what the lawyer had said. Even Mr and Mrs Sanandrian suggested that Carlos call the police to arrest Savador for thinking he can outsmart them. "He's not only a beggar, but a thief too. He wants to reap where he didn't sow, " Mrs Sanandrian sparked. "Is the truth that bitter to consume? " Savador questioned them. Proudly sliding his hands into his pocket. "If you don't want to believe it, then sulk on it. I am Don Pablo's missing grandson and Carlos missing cousin." "Shut up! "
"What are you saying, Savador? We can't be over. I'm your wife and you are my husband. Our marriage can't be over," Emily said, refusing to accept Savador's rejection. She felt her heart pounding just thinking of Savador leaving her alone and enjoying himself with his wealth. She didn't want to be left out. "Maybe you should have thought about that when you proudly slapped me, called me a poor bastard, and slammed the paper before me, " Savador said, reminding Emily of her doing. Emily sways her head, telling Savador that she was playing. "I was just joking then. Can't you take a joke, huh?" She asked, taking hold of Savador's hands. When he felt her grip, Savador pulled Emily's hand off his. "Don't touch me with that hand of yours or you'll regret it, " Savador warned Emily. Glowering at her. Emily sees the rage in his eyes. She feels her body shiver while staring right at him. "What are you saying Savador? You can't treat your wife like this. Have you forgotten how much she lov
"How dare these fools throw us out like beggars?" Jeremy sparked while dusting his cloth from dirts.Emily, who was in her mother's hold, kept her gaze right at the large mansion of the late Don Pablo, which now belongs to her ex husband, Savador.Her hand tightening into a fist. Recurring what Savador said to her right inside the mansion.She felt annoyed with the treatment she got from Savador. To her, it wasn't right."After everything I did for him. After all the support I gave to him in the past two months, he chose to treat his own wife like a stranger? " Emily sparked out. Moving her mother's arms off her body. Her mother, Mrs Sanandrian, moved closer to her daughter, despite the fact that Emily didn't want her patting or holding her. "Don't worry my girl. He can't stay angry with you forever. He will surely come back for you. Just have faith, " Mrs Sanandrian assured her daughter."Yes my girl. Have faith and see how that lovely man will return back into your arms. He's just
Savador watched how the bodyguards dragged Emily and her family, including Carlos, out of the mansion.Carlos roared at the body guards. Ordering them to let go off him, while the Sanandrian called out to him. Begging him to forgive them. The Sanandrian's plea, reminded Savador of the past, and how they treated him like an abomination.The torment he went through in their hands, all because he got married to their daughter, Emily."Savador, please! " Emily yelled while being dragged away. "I love you!" She shouted.With a groan of irritation, Savador turned his back, until the voice of both Sanandrian and Carlos faded away slowly."That serves them right, " He said, walking towards one of the couch. Only for him to step on the divorce paper Emily had brought to him. Staring at it, brought back sad memories into Savador's heart. Memories he wish he could wipe out from his head. It still felt like yesterday to him, when he first met Emily one fateful night. He was returning back fro
Staring out through the window, watching his cousin walking away slowly from the gate, Savador felt a hand touch him suddenly from behind.When he felt that, he immediately turned over to find his late grandfather's personal servant, Frank, standing right behind him. "My apologies Master Savador. Didn't mean to startle you in that manner, " Frank apologized to Savador. Bowing his head to show his respect towards his new Master. "It's fine, " Savador said to Frank. Still looking at the personal servant, who stood close to him. Savador had wanted to ask who he was at first. But when he looked clearly at the face of Frank, he remembered the fellow instantly. "I remember you. The time I went to see my grandfather, you where with him, " Savador pointed out. Recurring that day. Frank was the one who drove Don Pablo Montreal to the assigned place the late Don had wanted to see Savador then. His standing pose, face, and uniform, flashed in Savador's head. Bringing out the image Frank on
At the dinning room, Savador sat at the high seat, with his maids, serving him different categories of cuisines. The sight of the wonderful dish, prepared by his helpers, brightened Savador's heart with joy. He watched how the maids presented the food before him and began to dish out the one he'd eat. Asking him if he wanted this or that to go with the meal. Savador didn't know how to react to this. All he could was stare at this wonderful feast before him and eat with happiness.At last, he was eating on a high table, like the wealthy Trillionaire he is. He scanned through the table, as he watched the maids dish out more food for him to eat. One of the food served to Savador is considered a rich man's dish.Savador has seen the Sanandrian's serve this to their guests at any party they throw in their home. They gave it to their guests, to signify high class, but ignored his presence, whenever he came close to join them at the table. The Sanandrian didn't allow Savador to sit wit
Finally, the D day was here. As per the notice sent by Frank to every workers of the late Don Pablo's company, every head from every branch, came rushing down to the main quarter. When they learnt that the new boss would want to see them all, the four head representing the cardinal point of Montreal's branches, had to leave whatever they're doing to heed to this appointment. The company itself was filled with staffs from every floor of the skyscraper. Everyone running Helter Skelter in curiosity. When Frank's notice came the day before the appointed day, many wondered if this was Carlos' doing.Since they all know him as Don Pablo's grandson and he never ceases to brag about his position as the next owner, they believed he's the one.The heads of Don Pablo's company branches, don't like Carlos one bit. They only attend to his demands because of the late Don. But now that Don Pablo is gone, no one is pleased about it. "Now we'll have to listen to every orders that he throws at us
