SIMON THE ZILLIONAIRE FROM NOWHERE 167
A headline caught Eddie eye: "Mrs. Cecilia Found Overdosed in Hotel Room."His heart skipped a beat. Cecilia? He quickly scanned the article. Cecilia, the wife of a prominent businessman, had been discovered unconscious in a hotel room, with a young man by her side. Both had apparently overdosed on drugs. The young man had survived, but Cecilia was in critical condition. Eddie's mind raced. He had known Cecilia well during his time in Chelmek.Desperate for information, Eddie picked up his phone and dialed the number of Cecilia's husband, Richard. The phone rang endlessly without an answer. Frustrated, Eddie tried again, but still no response. He leaned back in his chair, trying to think clearly. The news had shaken him. Cecilia had been a significant figure in his past, both personally and professionally.Eddie's thoughts turned to his old friends in Chelmek. Perhaps they knew more. He scrolled through his contacts, but his heart sank when he realized that all the numbers had been lo

Eddie swallowed hard as he saw the once-great factory now dilapidated and overgrown with wild grass. The iron fence that used to be robust was now rusted and collapsing in several places. The building, which had once been a symbol of prosperity for the town of Chelmek, now looked like a sad relic of the past. Eddie felt a pang of sorrow seeing it. He had stopped working at the factory less than a year ago, but the drastic change made it seem like ages had passed.He walked toward the gate, carefully stepping through the lush wild grass that had taken over. The gate, which had always been wide open to welcome the workers, was now tightly shut, signifying the end of an era. Eddie felt a deep sense of loss, remembering the long days working there, the coworkers who were now scattered, and the hum of machines that were now silent.Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling out to him from a distance. "Eddie, what brings you back here?"Eddie turned, his eyes widening as he saw a man with

Eddie stared at Richard, trying to process the weight of his words. They had been sitting in Richard's dimly lit living room, reminiscing about the old times at the factory when Richard suddenly dropped the bombshell."I know about the affair," Richard said, his voice a mix of sorrow and resignation. "I found out when one of my friends, who is skilled in hypnosis, hypnotized Cecilia. Under hypnosis, she confessed that her true love wasn't me, but Simon."Eddie felt his heart race, worry creeping into his thoughts. "Richard, I... I had no idea. I never felt that way about Cecilia. You have to believe me," Eddie stammered, trying to quell the rising panic within him. Richard held up his hand, silencing Eddie. "I don't want to hear any excuses. Regardless of what happened, Cecilia was my first love, and no matter how flawed she was, she meant everything to me. And Simon, despite everything, was always my favorite employee. He worked hard and with integrity."The room fell silent, the te

Eddie strolled through the quiet streets of Chelmek, the cool evening air brushing against his face. The town, though worn by time, held a certain charm under the night sky. Lights from small shops and cafes spilled onto the cobblestone streets, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Eddie decided to visit a small café he used to frequent with Cecilia, a place that held countless memories.The café, nestled on a corner of the main street, looked almost the same as it did years ago. Its wooden sign, slightly faded, read "Café Nostalgia." Eddie pushed open the door, and a small bell chimed softly, announcing his arrival. The interior was cozy, with dim lighting casting a golden glow on the rustic wooden furniture. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries filled the air.As Eddie took a seat at a small table near the window, memories flooded back. He could almost see Cecilia sitting across from him, her laughter echoing in the cozy space. They had spent countless evenings her

The shrill ring of Eddie's phone pierced the early morning silence, dragging him from the depths of sleep. He groggily reached for his phone, blinking at the bright screen. It was Jennifer. He cleared his throat and answered, "Hello?""Eddie, it's Jennifer," her voice was tense, and Eddie immediately sat up, fully awake now. "Douglas got into a fight with Frank."Eddie frowned, still trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. "Douglas? What happened?"Jennifer sighed heavily on the other end. "Douglas came over last night, asking me to invest in his company. I turned him down. He left in a rage, and now I've heard he's gotten into a confrontation with Frank. I don't know the details, but it seems serious."Eddie rubbed his temples, trying to make sense of it. "Why would they be fighting? Did Douglas say anything about Frank when he was at your place?""No, he was too upset about my refusal. But Eddie," Jennifer's voice dropped, filled with concern, "I think this might have something t

Eddie awoke to the tantalizing aroma of cooking wafting through the house. The rich, savory smells stirred his senses and piqued his curiosity. Sliding out of bed, he made his way down the creaky stairs of Richard's old house. As he reached the bottom step, he saw Richard in the kitchen, surrounded by a flurry of activity. Pans sizzled on the stove, and the table was already laden with dishes."Good morning, Richard," Eddie greeted, walking into the kitchen.Richard turned, his face lighting up with a tired but genuine smile. "Morning, Eddie. Hope you’re hungry. I’ve been up since dawn cooking."Eddie surveyed the feast, recognizing many of the dishes. "This is Cecilia’s favorite food."Richard nodded, his smile fading as a shadow crossed his face. "Yes. I thought I’d make all the dishes she loved. It’s my way of remembering her."Eddie moved closer, placing a reassuring hand on Richard’s shoulder. "I’m sorry, Richard. I know this must be hard."Richard sighed, setting down the spoon

Eddie's heart was pounding as he walked into the office, a slip of paper clutched tightly in his hand. He had just returned from Chelmek, and his mind was a whirlwind of emotions and plans. He knew he had to face Sean, and he was ready to defend his decision.Sean was sitting at his desk, surrounded by papers and a laptop displaying various financial charts. When he saw Eddie enter, he put down his pen and leaned back in his chair, his expression expectant. Eddie took a deep breath and handed him the receipt.Sean's eyes widened as he read the amount. "Ten million dollars?" he exclaimed, staring at Eddie in disbelief. "You spent ten million dollars on a nearly bankrupt factory?"Eddie nodded, feeling a mixture of determination and apprehension. "Yes, I did."Sean stood up, running his hands through his hair in frustration. "Are you out of your mind, Eddie? We are trying to expand our company beyond Poland, and you just threw away a fortune on a dead inves

Eddie sat alone at the corner of a dimly lit bar, the soft hum of conversation and the clinking of glasses around him blending into a background noise he barely noticed. His thoughts were consumed by the threat Sean had made earlier that day. Sean had made it clear: if Eddie didn’t turn things around in ten months, Sean would find another partner. The weight of that ultimatum pressed heavily on Eddie’s shoulders, and he found solace only in the bottom of his glass.He sighed deeply, signaling the bartender for another drink. As the bartender refilled his glass, Eddie's mind raced. The decision to purchase the failing factory in Chelmek had seemed like a stroke of genius at the time, a move that would not only save the factory but also boost their own company’s profile. Now, with Sean’s words echoing in his mind, Eddie couldn’t shake the feeling that he might have made a colossal mistake.As he downed another drink, a flash of movement caug
