"Young master." They kept on saying to him, making him furrow his brow and he pulled backwards slowly.
"I think there is a mistake here. How can I be anyone's master when I can barely feed and I just got my salary cut in half?" He could not help a bit but inquire."I think that you have for got the wrong person." He said again."No young master. That can't be possible. Since we have already carried out all our research.""Come with us, we are going to explain everything to you." The man returned to himFor a while he was stricken in his place, unable to move even the slightest bit and he could feel his heart beating hard against his chest until he could not get enough air in his wind pipe.But again they could not get anything from him since he was way too broke so he decided to go with them. The young man singled to the Rolls-Royce that stood at the far end of the street and it drove over to them immediately as though it was already expecting the command.He was hesitant, not wanting to make any mistake that he was going to pay dearly for. He waited the man to walk into the place before joining him closely from behind.As he was about to open the door, one of the guards quickly parted the door open almost immediately."Gulp." A large lump went down his mouth.This was the very first time that he was getting his feet into such an expensive car and his hand were stiffened.Finally, they got into the hotel, and with swaying feet, hot down from the car, walked over to the private Suite that was just before him.His heart continued to race as they passed through the corridors and every single person there was bowing at him.His never thougt all his life that such a thing could happen to him. Finally, they got to a door, embroidered with gold and he could not help it but marvel at it's beauty.He was greeted by the sweetest scent that he had ever perceived all his life. Enough to make him forget about his sorrowsHe noticed a man just ahead of him and it seemed as though he had seen him from somewhere before.Random thoughts ran through his mind, thinking of where he could have known him but he just couldn't place his hands on anything at all.Immediately their eyes crossed paths, he could notice the tears in the eyes of the strange old man as he drew off from his seat and walked over to him."You have given me a ray of hope." He heard the old man saying but he could not comprehend anything from the words."What do you want from me, sir? Have I done anything wrong" He was about to say but before he could even get to spit out the words from his mouth, the old man pushed him over to himself and gave him a tight hug."Grandson!! I never thought that I was ever going to find you again." He announced pulling away from him for a moment and his mouth twinkled into a what."I'm really confused here sir and I think that this is a mistake. I am nothing other than a nobody sir.""You can say that when you have me as a grandfather." The man in the classic suite returned to him"But how is that even possible? I was raised in an orphanage home after which I was moved to a foster home and I was told that my parents died when I was still like three." He notedSeeing how doubtful his Grandson was, he snapoed his fingers immediately and that alone was more than a thouss commandA guard walked briskly towards him and brought a little box before the old man.He could feel his heart racing fast and he was trying to catch his breath as the guard parted it open and brought out a ringHe would be able to recognize that even ten thousand miles away. But he thought that he had lost it in the hotel forever."How is that with you?" He inquired drawing closer to it ande trying to snatch it from the box, only to stop at some point."You can't take that away from me sir. That's the only thing that I have left from my parents." He noted reaching out to him but the old man pulled his hands away slowly."And the owner of the ring is my son." He stared.The words were like a thousand stabs right in his heart and he tried as hard as he could to process what he just heard but he was still finding it difficult."How, how is that possible?" He stuttered.A few years ago, I was able to acquire all the hotels in the city alongside other businesses."And about your parents." He paused for a moment.Henry could see the pain that was still stuck in his heart as dark memories of the past that he had tried to do away with flushed through his headHe sniffed and got his wipe from where it lay on the sofa."So your parents were newly wedded and pregnant with you when they traveled out." He paused for a while and found the strength that he needed to continue once again."But while they were returning from the journey, they were attacked but you weren't found. I tried to find you during that period but never found you until now." He announced it to him.Emotions flooded through his blood stream as he continued to stare at the old man that was standing right before him and after so many years, he had finally found someone to call family.That wasn't going to look down on him and threaten him like some pieces of thrash.His grandfather stared at him again and sobbed slightly."I'm sorry for everything that you had to go through." He noted and his eyes farrowed"Grandfather, it's not your fault and I am sure that you did everything within your powers to find me." He noted again."Don't worry, I am going to make it up to you." He noted but for a while, he didn't understand exactly what he was talking about.He snapped his hands and a few men walked into the place with ink pads and inks to take his finger print.Though he was a little bit confused standing there, but again, he didn't resist this time.His heart continued to race really fast but soon enough they were doing.The men walked off from the place and his eyes journeyed towards his grandfather for a reply."Sorry about that. Had to get your fingerprint so that you will be able to be linked as the Consortium heir…""What!"Knowing well what that meant, he knew that he was the heir of a multi trillionaire company."And you are getting your personal CONSORTIUM too.."A large lump went down his spine as he spat out the words from his mouth. Who did not know about the wealthy empire?But could this man be the one?Only a few people knew about the leader of such a large business empire that led the hotels, steel companies, and a lot of other companies all over the city.His jaw fell apart as he continued to focus his eyes on him.He quickly brought out his phone from his pocket and searched for him.He compared the photos with the one that he was saying right before him."They match." A scoff escaped from his mouth.His heart was racing fast now as though it was going to burst through from his chest and his father's lips broke into a smile."There is no need for you to think too much about it."Then he thought about his foster mother, he had to reach out to the hospital immmediately and her bills paid. His grandfather seem to notice the worry in his eyes and already knew what he was thinking about."You don't need to worry about Mrs. Bella, I Know
"And if I can get it without any form of stress?". He wanted to deal with them for treating him in such a way.Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, Helena and the sale lady broke out into hateful laughter, clutching to her stomach and trying as hard as she could not to roll on the floor."Why are you asking for the price of something that you can not afford?" Her eyes farrowed while she continued to stare at him."And if I can get the card, you are going to call me Daddy?" Immediately he said this now, the laughter stopped, seeing that things were now getting even much more serious than they had thought in the first place.They shot a stare at him and back at each other. The silence of the three of them engulfed the three of them until Helena finally decided to break the silence."This is one of their techniques." She tried pull his off from it but from the look that was on his face, it showed that he was not joking with it."And if you are not able to?" The sale lady i
The guards there ushered them out of the place while he was given a special treat around.Henry went through the list of what he needed and then when he was satisfied, he turned around and left the mall.He could feel the thick air of satisfaction floating around him as he walked back home and for the first time in a long time, his face carved into a genuine smileHe had to sleep early that night because he had a whole lot of places to go to the next day. First, he was going to head for the business headquarters of his company, just as his Father had duly informed him and after that, he was going to see his foster mother at the hospital.He could barely sleep well that night, always rolling on the foam. He always slept on the floor in his hard rock room. The AC and the extra soft foam, he wasn't used to all that comfortThe next morning, it was time for him to go to his company. He got ready as soon as he could and had forgotten the deal that he had with his grandfather the previous
He watched as he vanished into thin air and he was left alone there. He wanted to get his grandfather to tell him the manager of the place so that he would be driven away instantly but he decided to keep cool.He wanted to know what his ambition was, coming into his company.He stepped away from the place and walked gradually towards the massive gates that were made of rare gems, all glittering in the ray of the sun.The place was packed filled with a lot of people wanting to get into the company but there was a warden at the gateFrom what he was told, the warden was going to ask everyone their ambition in the company and if it was reason enough, he was going to let them in.He was pretty shocked by the fact even a simple security officer of the company was so expensively dressedFinally, he got to the Security and a search was carried out.He wasn't even worried that he was the owner of the company. Besides, he was like any other person.Since he was past visiting time, he was the o
"I am sorry about him ma'am. He is nothing but a useless and worthless bum trying to get into the company but I am going to get rid of him right away." He raised his head slowly, about to walk away and get the security officer but then, Miss. Clara stopped him, Staring right into his eyes and gnashing her teeth."I want you to repeat what you just said. A useless and worthless bum ?" He frowned and he nodded her head."Yes ma'am. But.." he did not even get to complete his statement before a thick slap landed on his face."How dare you. You fool." She growled at him and he clutched to his aching face, totally confused.Miss Clara pulled away from him almost immediately and walked down to him."I'm deeply sorry sir and speechless at the same time." She fell on her knees to apologize to him, knowing way too well what his grandfather could do to her if he found out anything about it.Her heart was racing, hitting the fence of its caves while she looked down without daring to steal a glanc
Clara Adams? Henry inquired.Yes good sir, I'm the manager of this car ranch, she said with a swift smile.Let me quickly show you to your office, she said and walked out, and Henry followed her gently.Here is your office Mr. Henry. I sincerely want to apologize for the scene that transpired downstairs. That will never happen again.It better not Clara … .it better not, he said with a weird smile.I believe everything will go well from here on out?she asked, striking an expectant gaze.It should be Clara. You will have to earn my respect because you lost it in seconds of our meeting, he said and went to sit on his chair.Have a seat, Clara, he said with a smile.Now, I need to let you know that I am a very friendly and free spirited young man. I see faults in people and I don't judge them far too fast. I lean close to see where that fault is coming from and just by doing that I rectify that fault.Belittling people is the least thing on my list and if you want to work here with me as
Holy shit!!! Henry screamed.They hit the tree so badly that Henry lost cautiousness.Amidst the chaos and flames on the deserted highway, Henry woke up with a little tear on his arm.He coughed and managed to get out of the car. He beckoned to the driver, and he woke up, his eyes wide open in shock.Sorry, master he went on one knee, I am sorry he said, limping towards Henry.It is fine, let's get ourselves out of this place, the car isn't safe…they crossed to the other side of the road.After waving for minutes, a car stopped.I'll be happy to help a young lady in the front seat offered.Thank you, kind, Miss Henry said, they got in, and the driver was bleeding profusely.They got to the hospital after a thirty-minute drive and Henry and the driver were admitted.The news soon reached the grandfather, and he arrived at the hospital with Henry's foster mom, who he met on his way to the hospital.Henry…hey … . Henry..his mom called with a crying face, she asked the nurse why isn't he s
At the hospital, “ Grandpa, please don't leave me alone.” Henry said when he saw his grandfather lying on the bed with various wires hooked to his veins. “ Young master! You can't be in here.” A nurse said and stared at him aghast. The doctor expressly said that grandfather should be left alone. “ You aren't going to tell me what to do.” Henry shouted at her. “ I need to be with my grandfather at this time!” He snapped and the nurse recoiled. She didn't know that he could be this angry. Mrs. Clara ran into the room, "Oh my goodness, I came as soon as I heard. I'm so sorry about this.” She said. “ Where's the doctor?” Henry replied and on cue, a short middle-aged man walked in with a stethoscope on his shoulders signifying his status. “Mr. Henry, you shouldn't be in here.” He said in a challenging tone, and Henry looked at him with contempt in his eyes. How dare they tell him not to visit his only family left? “ What happened to my grandfather?” He replied instead. He was less co
A year After."What is going on?" He inquired worriedly when he saw Clara bent over a toilet seat, heaving her lungs out. Panic settled inside him and he patted her back softly. What can I get you?" He asked her and she sat on the tiles."I feel queasy." She said and before she could finish talking, she puked again inside the toilet. "Please get me a tissue." She croaked and stretched her hand backward. That was what she needed.Henry sighed softly as he wiped her mouth for her. "You need to see a doctor, this cannot be ordinary flu." He said and she rinsed her mouth."I think so too. I don't know what is happening to me but I don't feel well inside of me." Like a lightbulb, an idea flashed into his head and he stared at her with wide eyes, and she stared at him strangely." what?" "Are you pregnant?" "What?" She repeated and Henry placed a hand on her shoulders. " Have you been feeling weak? Tenderness in the boobs? Diarrhea and constant headache?" He inquired." Yeah?""I think..
The flight back to Italy was very quick, maybe it was due to the fact that they didn't have anything bothering them anymore, no need to look over their shoulder for every little matter. Henry was very elated to see the soils of Italy.It made him appreciate freedom. He never knew that he was living like a king even when he was poor but with the small taste of money and the problems that accompanied it, he was able to appreciate being free.Clara rested her head on his shoulder as she stared at the soil. It was good to go home. " How do you feel?" She inquired from him and he smiled at her."I feel good, great, even. Who would have thought that I would miss this place? There was a time I was crazy about leaving the country, now that I know better I know that I was foolish at that time. What the hell was I even thinking at that period? He wondered aloud.Clara giggled beside him, it was amazing how he was able to see things from a grander scope. "I think there are several reasons that w
Henry sank to his feet instantly and Clara rushed to hug him. She cried into his shoulders, until his clothes began to get wet. " I'm sorry,I shouldn't be doing this. I don't know what is wrong with me." She chuckled while trying to wipe the tears off her face.Henry rose slowly and held her up. It wasn't so great of an event. She was bawling her eyes out. " Hey, it's okay, I'm free now. You don't need to cry." He said, trying to pacify her and she nodded softly.She moved away so that she could allow the grandfather and son to bond comfortably. Stopping them was not the best thing that she could do because she was feeling a certain type of way. His gaze fell upon his grandfather and he didn't know when he began to weep gently. It was almost as though he was feeling weak and at the same time unable to breathe. "I'm so happy to see you son." He said and held him very close to himself. "Me too, Pops." He said and held him close. His pops had been there for him for a very long time an
The court room went silent and Henry stared at the man who just came to lie without a tangible reason. His eyes rested on him and he tried to figure out where he knew him from to no avail . It was as though the man had harbored grievances against him and sought the perfect time to unleash his vengeance. He was stupefied." I take objection to that statement. If there's CCTV footage, produce it so that we can all watch it." Henry's lawyer said and he stared at the wicked man who was standing before him. it was obvious that he was just trying to ruin Henry's life."I came with proof if that's what you are asking for." He said confidently and Henry was pissed beyond measure. He didn't know this man from Adam but he was hell bent on tarnishing his image. " Lets have it." The judge called again and it was given to him. The assistant slotted it in and connected it to the projector and they all watched the scene."Pause it there." The judge said and adjusted his glasses." A hush fell ove
After spending a great deal of time trying to make sure that there was no need to continue staying in the hospital, they went to court. Pops pulled some strings on some of his old people who knew what was going on, he was probably thinking about what would have happened if he didn't have such a strong backbone. He didn't even want to imagine it because it would be so brutal. Anyway, it was going to be great if he could actually do without the court order Alas, there was no one above the law. He stood before the judge at the supreme court with his lawyer in front of him. The complainant also stood at the opposite dock. It was a woman, she was claiming that her husband was killed."Mr. Henry, What do you have to say concerning the defendant's claim?" Henry looked at the judge and the sobbing woman. As much as he pitied her, he couldn't help but feel that she was doing a tad bit too much. "I didn't kill her husband, my honor. It was out of self defense. He tried to kill me, whoever has
*******Chapter 187Clara didn't wait for him to finish his sentence before placing a hand over her mouth, this was not the news that she wanted to hear. It was heartbreaking and at the same time she had to maintain a good front because Pops was in the room, staring at her. "That's great to hear. I thought that he was actually harmed. It's good to hear that he's well. Thank you Caine." She mustered a fake smile and Caine stared at his phone as if there was an alien living in it. Wasn't she the person who was angry a few minutes ago that things were hidden away from her? Yet she was telling him thank you. "Good. I'll talk to you later." He said and she nodded before hanging up abruptly and turned to see Pops staring at her. He wasn't talking at the moment but his eyes spoke volumes. He was probably thinking about what was happening to his grandson."Pops, what would you like to eat?" She asked him as she moved closer to his bed to stroke his hands.He shook his head slightly and she
Chapter 186George agreed without arguing one bit as he was drooped at the end of the road, he didn't waste any more time in making sure that there was anything holding him back as he bundled down the pavement and flagged down a cab. He was sure that they would take him to his doorstep. All he needed was to take a bath first then right after he could now start thinking about other things but for now, he would have preferred just staying away and waiting till there was nothing else to do. "That man is scarred. I don't think we should have let him go just like that. We know that he needed the money. He was just acting so that it didn't seem that way." Fred spoke from the rearview mirror.Caine nodded in agreement. He had other plans for the man but from experience he had known better than to allow anyone to come close to the family because it could be very frustrating if the person didn't know what was going on. It was more of a preservation. No one wanted to be involved with people th
Chapter 185Caine and Fred came bursting through the door. " Everyone raise your hands above your heads." Caine ordered as he and Fred came bursting into the living room.Everyone stared at them as if they were aliens speaking gibberish. "Who is he?" Liam asked as his eyes casually strolled from the intruders to Henry.Henry sighed and balled his fists which were already losing sensitivity due to the excessive amount of blood. "Don't go all macho on him. You can call him my brother from another mother, he's been there even from the beginning of this issue." Liam's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he stared at the man in front of him. He couldn't remember where he knew him from but from the way he was behaving he knew that he was someone of great importance.Caine glanced at Fred before his eyes swung toward Liam and Ryan. This was somewhat a complicated issue because if it was left to him, he would have locked this man up. But with the situation at hand. It sounded unwise because this ma
Chapter 184Henry didn't waste time in locating the person who fired the shots. It was no one but Jess and he was shocked to his bone that she could even attempt to save them."I love you baby!" Liam jumped up immediately and pulled the trigger at Ryan causing him to stumble and almost hit the ground.George, sensing potential freedom, rose from his position and bundled towards Ryan who was rubbing his sore legs. It was a double bullet. He didn't wait till he recovered before falling atop him. Ryan was utterly shocked when he saw that the tables had turned. "Get off me, you oaf." He grunted from beneath George and tried to shake him off but found it hard to do that so he bit him.George, who was stubborn, persisted in making sure that he didn't leave.Henry also joined the party by knocking the gun out of his hands. Ryan was pretty helpless at this point, he bit George on the hand again, this time almost removing the chunk of flesh that surrounded his hand but George made sure that h
