CHAPTER 2: IDENTITY

"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 him

For 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 sorrows

He 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 noted

Seeing how doubtful his Grandson was, he snapoed his fingers immediately and that alone was more than a thouss command

A 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 ring

He 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 head

He 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.."
