Secretly The Godfather's Heir

He is The Godfather

Justin walked towards them, his eyes fixed on them. The doorman raised his chin with confidence.

"Sir, it is this man. He is claiming that he wants to meet someone and whereby he is here to beg." He said.

"What?!" Justin exclaimed.

"Did you just say he is here to beg?" Justin asked and turned to the young man. Cole had his back turned to him, so he could not recognize him.

"Young man, turn to me." He ordered. Cole turned around and the words Justin was about to say died in his throat and his eyes widened.

He had asked him to meet him here, oh he forgot.

"Oh, it is you, Cole." He said happily, surprising the door man. Seth bit back the hiss that was threatening up his throat while Leslie looked somewhat shocked at the way Justin received Cole. 

It felt like Cole was quite superior to him but no one could notice.

Cole looked behind Justin and saw a man in dark shades, leaning against the latest model of Mercedes. He was watching with amusement and his lips was quirked into a smirk.

Who was he?

"How dare you insult my guest?!" Justin's voice boomed and the door man fell to his knees. Seth pulled Leslie back, knowing Justin's anger was not a sight to behold at all.

"I'm sorry! please... please forgive me." The doorman started pleading. No one dared interfere with him or plead on his behalf.

Cole watched too, not knowing if he could interfere. It was not like he wanted to.

“You are fired.” Justin told him instantly and the door man crawled towards him and gripped his knees. He began to plead for his job.

“Sir… See…. I have no other job than this. Please don't take it away from me.” He begged Justin. When he saw that Justin was not doing anything or saying anything. He thought that since Cole was the sole reason Justin wanted to fire him, he should beg him. He hurried towards Cole and grasped his knees.

“Sir… I am deeply sorry. I am sorry. I will never do it again. Please help me beg my boss.” He appealed to Cole but Cole did not say anything.

Justin cleared his throat and said. “I don't give second chances. Security!” He yelled. Two of them ran towards them on spot and gave him a curt bow. “Take this disrespectful dog out of here.” He ordered and they dragged the door man who kept crying and pleading that he would be jobless if they sent him out of here.

Seth knew at that instance that no matter how hard he came across Cole, Justin will always support him but… Why?

Leslie quickly thought she should cease the opportunity to speak to Justin since she never did and was quite scared because of his ruthless and no nonsense nature. She smiled and hurried forward. “Good day, Sir Justin.” She greeted him.

Justin turned towards her and eyed her from head to toe. Cole snorted and Justin walked past Leslie while Seth drew her back with a reprimanding look. She shrugged with defiance. 

The man that was busy watching gave her an incredulous look and followed Justin and Cole from behind. Seth watched the three of them and thoughts of what they wanted to do filled his head.

“Why did you do that?” He hissed at Leslie who eyed him hard.

“Because I wanted to gain favor for you! You think I am useless?” She questioned him with wide eyes  and he dropped his head in regret. Regret that he was engaged with her. But he lifted his head and smiled sweetly at her.

“You are right. You are right.” He told her and she relaxed.

Back in the place, Cole and Justin sat down with the man who relaxed and was staring at Cole with interest.

Justin glanced at the man and shook his head. “Anyway, Cole meet Maxwell Wilmer.” He introduced the man sitting. Cole’s brows creased together at the mention of the name. Maxwell Wilmer, the owner of the popular Wilmer jewelry in the city. His monthly income is known to surpass  $12 million and his yearly income can only be calculated by those who are eager to know. He was known to be the richest jeweler and popular investor in many companies.

s sitting here and Justin trusting him can only mean one thing...

“Maxwell meet –”

“Cole Lancaster, the person who you deemed was necessary to see.” He cut in and turned to Justin, taking his amused eyes off Cole. “See, if you want to plead for a position for him in my company. You will have to go through the normal procedures. I am a man of principles and order.” He told Justin instantly.

A look of surprise flashed through Justin's face before he burst out laughing. “You never change!” He said.

Maxwell tilted his head to the side and awaited Justin’s clarification. All these while, Cole watched the both of them with deep interest. It seemed that Justin was quite close to him.

Justin soon stopped laughing and became serious again. “Anyway, if you had waited for me to land, you would have heard who I wanted to call him. Well, his name is Cole Lancaster and he is… The Godfather.” He introduced Cole who raised his chin. 

Maxwell’s head swirled to gaze at Cole and he traced his gaze down from his head to toe then back again. “Justin, are you dreaming? How can… How can he be the Godfather? I know you are still reeling from the sudden death of The Godfather but having someone replace the real one is a huge crime that can ruin the entire cycle.” Maxwell warned him, still giving Cole who did not bother to reply a condescending look. 

Maxwell looked around and leaned closer to Justin. “Even if you wanted to start the Game again, you should find someone who is capable of doing the job and whose appearance is better than this.” He whispered. Justin glared at him, signaling to keep shut.

He was about to say another word when the door was pushed open and the workers who were to attend to them stepped in. They all bowed and raised their heads back. “Sir Justin, what would you like to order?” One of them asked.

Although, Justin owned the place. He still always paid for every drink he buys because he wanted a complete record of their sales and all.

“The menu.” He asked. One of them extended it towards him and he took it from there. He went through them one by one.

He decided to pick the Chateau Margaux 1787 which cost $225,000 and is considered one of the most expensive wines in the world. Cole was stunned at the high price but he did not want to talk since he knew how wealthy Justin was and it would be an insult to his image.

Maxwell scoffed and collected the Menu from him, he went through  it and picked the Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck which cost US$275,000. The 1907 Heidsieck, which was considered the world’s most expensive Champagne, was discovered in 1998 in the Gulf of Finland where 2000 bottles from the collection were uncovered. Despite the shipwreck the bottles were found fully intact. Sold for a hefty price tag of more than US$275,000 per bottle, largely to the Russian elite, the highly prized Champagne tells the story of survival after its journey to the Russian Imperial Court was intercepted by a German U Boat.

Cole did not know how to take in the fact that the two men just ordered more than his lifetime income.

The attendants smiled and one of them who seemed to be the boss ordered two of them to get it from the men.

Maxwell slowly lifted his gaze to look at Cole with keen interest. “What would ‘The Godfather’ order?” He asked, his tone slightly intending with mockery.

Cole glanced at Justin who closed his eyes and turned to Cole to order. Cole picked the menu with shaking hands and mentally begged that they should stop this stupid game of choosing the most expensive wines. He does not even have up to that amount despite being the ‘The Godfather’.

He has not even seen the billions to his eyes not to talk of the seat of the Godfather and he wants to be buying wine.

He went through it and as he did, he checked the price tags and thought that since he was the Godfather, he should pick the most expensive one, right? So he went with the Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 1992 which cost US$500,000. Maxwell was stunned for a second and yet he did not believe him.

Justin and Cole shared an eye lock and Justin understood instantly.

What did he understand?
