2024-10-29 19:42:56"I'm sorry, who are you?" Jake stuttered as he spoke.
"Don't be afraid Mr. Jake. My name is Sebastian Stanley and I'm a lawyer. In fact, I am your family's lawyer."
"My family?"
"Yes."
"See now I know that you playing with me because my family doesn't want me, they threw me away when I was little...."
"After the death of your aunt. Yes I know all that." He still had that smile on his face and this unnerved Jake the more.
"Did Marion set you up to this?" That guy had it out for him and Jake was still struggling to understand why.
"No, but it is because of his video that I've been able to locate you. Can we go somewhere private to talk?"
"Even if I wanted to man, I can't. I'm in jail for selling drugs."
"Not anymore. I sorted out your bail. You are free to go." Just the a police man came to him and removed the handcuffs from his hand.
"See? You're free to go. Now can we go somewhere quite." Jake didn't know who the strange man was but he had a feeling that he was going to love him.
"Lead the way." Jake followed the man as they left the station. He saw a black spider being parked in front of the station. He was more than happy when he heard the car beep and the lawyer opened the driver's seat.
"Sweet."
"What? Are you gonna stand there all day? Get in." Sebastian yelled at him and Jake was more than happy to comply. They drove to a restaurant that Jake could only admire from a distance and the man ordered breakfast for Jake.
"Okay, mind telling me what's going on?"
"You don't want to eat first?" Jake looked from his plate and decided that it was best if he ate before hearing the news the man had to tell him.
He savored every bite of his meal thinking about the last time he had eaten something so delicious and finally finding the answer to be 'never'.
"Okay, I'm done. Now talk to me."
"Jake... Mind if I call you Jake?" Jake nodded his head and the man continued. "Okay, so as you know too well your aunt was a wealthy woman in her time and when she died she willed everything she had to you. You are the one in charge of all the companies and all the houses and cars. Somehow your family found out about it and that is why they threw you out. They were hoping that you would stay missing till after you had turned 31 because that is when everything will get revoked back to them, that is if and only if you did not already claim possession of it. After they run you out of the state, they declared you dead but I knew they were lying and I told them that I couldn't release the property to them. It gave me some time to look for you and now, I have finally found you."
Jake was suddenly thankful that he had chosen to eat before having such idiotic conversation with this man. Did he have any idea who he was?
He was a broke and heartbroken man who worked at a stupid fashion company that created terrible designs to make ends meet.
He was a man who had nothing but a shit hole apartment that he was going to get thrown out of in the next two weeks because he can't afford rent.
He was a man who his boss told him to his face that he would never amount to anything good.
And now this man was sitting across from him feeding him lies about being a billionaire. He briskly stood up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Sebastian asked sharply.
"Don't you people ever get tired of toying with people's emotions?"
"Okay, I can see that you don't believe me. Well maybe you will believe this." He tossed a document to Jake and when Jake opened it, it was his late aunt's will. He cried as he read the words. He cried as he realized the massive love his aunt had for him.
"I wasn't lying Mr. Jake. You are truly a billionaire now. And we need you on the company's ground. I'm overseeing the activities of the company for now but with you around, I can back down and let you do the job you've been called to do."
"But why would my family be so heartless as to keep me away from all these?"
"Greed, Jake. Greed."
"I need some time to think about what I want to do with this information."
Sebastian breathed out a heavy sigh. "I completely understand Jake." He passed a card to him. "This is my number. Call me if you need anything."
Jake stood up to leave but Sebastian didn't let him. "Hold up, let me sort the bill and then I can take you home."
"No you don't need to do all that."
"But I want to. It'll just be a minute." Jake nodded his head as he watched the man leave and he used the spare time to spread his eyes round his environment. His eyes fixed on a couple who had probably started the relationship newly. He saw how much the woman admired the man and how much the man adored the woman. He knew he wanted something like that for himself and now he could. He had enough money to go after Susan and get her back. He was about to call her when he saw the woman lean in and place a kiss on the man's lips and they both blushed.
Susan had never blushed, not after their first kiss, not after their first sex. The only time she smiled was after Jake had gotten her a gift. It was like she was tired of the relationship but didn't know how to tell him. Well he had finally heard, loud and clear.
He took out his phone and deleted her contact. Just then, Sebastian walked in.
"Okay, all done. May we go now?"
"Of course." Jake stood up to leave and they both entered into Sebastian car. When he parked at the front of his apartment, Jake finally spoke.
"I don't want anyone to know about this. I don't want them to know about this new found wealth of mine. Is there a way we could keep it quite for a few more months? I just want to discover the people that truly love me for me and not for the money."
"I understand you Jake, but who will take care of the company? I can't do it anymore."
"Well, you are running it now right? I believe you can find someone who will be running it for the meantime, at least till I am ready to assume the position of CEO."
"I believe I can do that."
"Okay, once you find the right guy that you trust, you let me know. Goodbye for now Sebastian."
"Have a lovely day Jake."
Jake was sure that he would have the most perfect day, after all, he was now a billionaire.

"Excuse me ma but that is not a way to talk to someone. I was just telling you not to throw up here." "And what will happen if I do." There was nothing that Amanda hated more than people telling her what she could and could not do. Especially strangers. "Well, you will have to clean it up yourself." Jake was still fazed at how such a beautiful lady could have such a bad character. "And isn't that why you are here? To clean up after people's mess?" "I will have you know that I am a fashion designer in this fine establishment.""Oh honey, if you call this," she motioned her hand around the building, "a fine establishment, then you are yet to see the world."Jake's face had gotten red. He knew that the building wasn't state-of-the-art but he never expected that it could be pointed out to him in such a vile manner. "And what are you doing here?

She could hear someone creep into her room and she didn't need any soothsayer to tell her who it was."Honey, I know it sounds bad but it's totally accomplishable," her mother said gently. Amanda scoffed and finally removed her head from her pillow. "Seriously mom? Where am I supposed to find a husband in the next two months? Dad is just doing this because he wants me to come work for him at that stupid company and I will not. I will never do it, mom.""Listen, I will have you know that that stupid company is what is paying for your bills and funding this rich lifestyle of yours.

Are you going to do it?" "Can I have some time to think about it?" Jake said after he had looked at Amanda sceptically and knew that she was up to something."Yeah, you only have five minutes.

"Damn it!" Emily cursed under her breath. Every time she was beginning to have a quiet moment with Sebastian, something or someone just always had to ruin it. She could see the spark in his eyes and she knew that he was seeing her in another light. The kind of light that Emily wanted her to see him in. And now her phone just had to go and ring, interrupting the moment she was sharing with him. She removed the phone from her handbag and was more annoyed when she saw the caller ID."Yes?" She was afraid that if she had said more words, the man would have sensed her anger and wanted to find a way to relieve her of it. But Williams didn't need to see her before he could sense the mood that she was in. "Em, are you alright?" He had the same caring tone in his voice which Emily hated. She had never seen Williams as a passionate man. To her he was too bland and empty, nothing drove him to the edge. Nothing made him think outside the box, he was a calculative, arranged and organized man. It

The bar was filled with people. Andy's has always had a full house mostly because he had good music and his staffs were as kind as the day was bright. Emily could spot some foreigners in the bar. It was a normal thing for them to always occupy all the space there. The town of Los Angeles always had people trooping into it because not only was it a tourist site, but it was also a place where opportunities could come through. Anything was possible or at least that is what they believed. They had one had a cowboy come into town with their hippy-dippy style of dressing.

The drive back to her company was awfully quiet. It would have been a great time to have company, like that of Sebastian. Looking at the driver's mirror, she could almost see his perfectly symmetrical face and his tattooed arms. He had a dangerous aura around him, and there was nothing that Emily loved more than danger. Emily shook her head. She shouldn't be noticing anything about him. She shouldn't be even thinking about him. She should focus on how weird and awkward it will be when she meets Williams the next time. Deciding to cross that bridge when she gets to it, Emily swerved into the parking lot. There, she saw Sebastian waiting for it.She could hear her heart racing, she could feel her blood running into her ears. She grabbed on tightly to the steering wheel. Did he have to be so attractive? Did he have to make her want him so badly? Realizing that those weren't the things she should be thinking about, she turned off her engine and focused on getting rid of him.To hell with

It was becoming clear that all the people Sebastian was getting acquitted with were dangerous men and they all knew Ethan. The man that approached them was covered with tattoos and the more Sebastian observed him, the more he noticed the cliche way the man was dressing. He had on nose rings and an earring on his eyebrows."Hello, Denzel," Ethan said as he stood up."I see we are now mates, if not what would give you the courage to address me by my name?" "I don't believe they are any secrets between us."Denzel's couldn't take his eyes off the little brat that had almost gotten him arrested. He had sworn that the next time he sees him, he would be a dead man. But he had come with Chairman's men and anyone who wanted to live knew not to mess with Chairman. The man could do unimaginable things to his victim but still behave like he was doing nothing. "I don't think we do," Denzel said as he offered a smile his way and ushered them to their seats.

Sebastian had hoped that he would never get to see the building that threatened to end his life whenever he stepped foot into it. Reluctantly, Ethan and Sebastian moved towards the door and one of the men nugged them along."What? So when you are not chatting like little girls, you guys chose to irritate me by walking like snails?" The man said with anger in his voice. As much as Sebastian wanted to reply to him, he decided to save his strength for when he would need to run away from Maverick and his gang and if he couldn't, he would fight his way out. He didn't mind getting shot, anything was better than working full time for him.They didn't pass through the club as they did before. The entrance was a lot narrower and the presence of two guards gave the clear message of the entrance being off limits to regular party freaks.

Sebastian smiled to himself as he pulled up to the parking lot of the company. He was glad for the conversation he had with Ethan earlier. The man was a pain in the ass most of the time but he did help him get the perspective he needed.Sebastian yelled as Ethan hovered over him so early in the morning. He was used to the man not being the morning type but Ethan was wide awake and staring directly into his eyes. "Man, what the hell?!" Sebastian screamed out as he pushed Ethan away from his body. He reeked of alcohol making Sebastian worry about why he did not just pass out already. That was mostly what he did whenever he came back drunk."Don't you have where to go today?" Ethan was talking about him going out in search of a job but Sebastian knew better. There were no jobs available anywhere. "Won't be going anywhere today," he said as he turned over to his side "there are no jobs in this godforsaken town. So I might as well just save myself from the stress of looking.""So what do

She waited patiently till she heard the ding of the elevator, rushing in she quickly pressed the button that would open up to her office.Immediately the doors of the elevator opened up, she marched into her office floor completely ignoring the greetings of all the staffs that saw her. She walked briskly towards her secretary's desk and slammed her hand into her table."Good afternoon ma'am." The young lady stuttered as she looked into the gleaming eyes of her boss who was not looking happy."Sandra, what meeting did I have today?" "Ummm. Ma, which one are you referring to?"Could she be serious?"Which one am I talking about? The one I'm just coming back from.
