2024-10-29 19:42:56Sam had been getting too many surprises and shocks for one day, he looked up at the old man from where he was sitting, his eyes glowing in amazement. It was a fucking joke, Sam concluded in his mind and a slight grin appeared on his face.
“This is not a joke Sam,” the old man said, as if he read his mind; giving Sam a hand to help him up his feet.
The surprise and confusion slowly returned to Sam’s face again. What the hell was going on here? What does he mean by a young master? Sam asked himself again, staring at the old man confusedly.
“My name is Clinton Wells, you’ll have to come with me Sam,” the elderly man shook Sam's hands, a small wrinkled grin lingering on his face.
"Hey, stop! Are you kidding me? Why would I trust you? You said the restaurant belongs to this poor loser? I think you must be a patient from mental hospital! And these men in black, they must be your wardmates!" Borris laughed, he didn't believe a word of the old man. He just wanted the police to come soon.
The old man sneered, he dialed a phone number and passed it to Borris. Borris mocked, "Are you out of your mind? You want to compensate me with this shabby pho..."
However, when Borris saw the name the old man was calling, he was shock, because it was his boss.
"Don't you wanna pick it up, Mr. Boris? I think it must be your boss, it's not a good thing to reject your boss's call, right?" The old man said calmly.
Borris felt nervous, it can't be true, but what if it's true? He took the phone with a trembling hand and a hoarse voice, "Hello?"
"You troublemaker Borris! How dare you to offend Mr. Well? He is my boss! Everything in this restaurant belongs to the family he serves, including you, you son of...." The furious voice came out from the speaker of the phone. Boris was shocked, it was his boss's voice, he would never mishear.
"S...sorry boss, I..." Before Borris could finish a sentence, his boss interrupted him.
"Just stop your non-sense quibble and applogize to Mr. Well sincerely, otherwise no one could help!" The boss cut the line, and Boris went weak at the knees.
"My apology, Mr. Well. I didn't know..." Borris said with a whimper.
The old man stopped him, "Can we leave now?"
"Yes, yes! No one dares to stop you here..." Borris said respectfully, now he knew this old man was the one he could never offend.
The old man then started towards the entrance of the restaurant.
“What’s happening,” Sam murmured to himself, he had never been so confused in his life.
“You’ll find out soon enough,”
Sam didn’t expect Clinton to hear that, he glanced at Borris who was totally still in shock, then he shifted his eyes to Stephan and George then to the other waiters who were staring at him in absolute confusion.
He was just as surprised as they are, but he had to find out who Clinton Wells really was and what a young master meant.
Sam followed Clinton and realized that a few of the hefty men followed behind him while the remaining had accompanied Clinton to the car.
They had all left the restaurant with Sam, before Borris spoke, acting as if he wasn’t almost pissing his pants a few seconds ago.
“What are you all looking at, back to work!” He yelled, his heart was still beating abnormally, he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath.
There was no way Mr. Clinton was telling the truth, Sam could never be the young master, Borris thought.
“I want all this cleared in less than an hour,” Borries yelled out again, staring disgustedly at the hundreds of ceramic pieces that covered the tiled floor.
When Sam got out of the restaurant, the car door was already opened for him to enter, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
It was a black Rolls Royce Cullinan, something was definitely wrong somewhere.
“Get in, Sam. This is just the tip of the iceberg,”
Sam heard Clinton’s voice coming from inside the Rolls Royce and walked briskly to it. This was like a dream, he had never entered an expensive Mercedes before not to talk of sitting inside a Rolls Royce. One of the most expensive cars in the world.
He didn’t remember telling Clinton his name, how did he figure that out? Sam thought, but that wasn’t really important at this point in time.
Sam admired the embellishment of the interior of the car, the luxurious designs; he couldn’t help but stare at everything like a twelve-year-old who got into Disney land for the first time.
Sitting opposite him was Clinton, who was watching as Sam looked lost in his admiration of the luxurious vehicle, the car started to move, and then Clinton decided to bring back Sam’s attention to the real world.
“Snap out of it Sam, you’re yet to see the real deal,” Clinton laughed, relaxing on the orange leather chair, with one leg crossed over the other.
“This isn’t true, or maybe I am dreaming!” Sam exclaimed, at this moment; he had suddenly forgotten about the pain in his heart, the overwhelmedness had taken over his thinking faculty. He couldn’t even reason straight.
Everything was happening so fast, and it was too good to be true.
“If this is a kidnap, please tell me; I have nothing to give,” Sam added, his eyes holding Clinton’s.
“This isn’t a kidnap Sam, It isn’t a dream or your imagination either, this is the reality,” Clinton clarified and chuckled lightly.
Sam stared at him in disbelief, there was no way he’d be able to take in all of these at once, it was too fast.
“Don’t overthink it, Sam. We are taking you to one of the mansions you’d be staying in the meantime,”
“C’mon, that’s definitely a bluff,” Sam waved it off, trying his best to think straight.
If he embraced all these too quickly, he might get overly disappointed in the end. This is a kind of prank or something, but who was pulling the prank? Sam thought.
Clinton smiled, he picked up his cell phone, dialed a number, and as soon as the receiver picked up, he spoke inaudibly to the man on the other end.
Sam couldn’t get hold of what Clinton was saying, as he was facing the other way, covering the movement of his lips with one hand. He gazed at Clinton curiously till he hung up and faced him back.
“What was that?” Sam quickly asked, a little scared. Maybe the kidnap was true after all. But a kidnap with this kind of luxurious vehicle was almost not true; Sam concluded by himself.
“You’ll see soon enough,” Clinton grinned awkwardly like he was waiting for something to happen.
Sam felt his cell phone vibrate in his pant pocket, he brought it out and stared at the screen, and let out a sudden gasp.
“How is this even possible?” Sam questioned, his eyes wide in shock and astonishment.
He was seeing the figures clearly, it was a whooping hundred million dollars. The bank might query him for such a huge amount of money entering his bank account all at once.
“Now, do you believe that this is real?” Clinton asked.
Sam was still staring at his phone in uttermost surprise, he raised his gaze and they met with Clinton’s; he then gave a positive slow nod.
Sam wanted to believe all that was happening, he wanted to own it, but it was too much to handle. Just in the blink of an eye, he was a hundred million dollars rich, he could buy several of the cars he was in now.
“What do you mean by the young master, and how am I this rich; who am I related to?” Sam finally started asking the relevant questions.
If he was having this kind of sudden change in his life, then he was definitely related to a rich family somehow, this kind of thing doesn’t happen overnight.
“Now you are asking the right questions, Samuel Jonathan,” Clinton called Sam’s complete legal name, surprising him once again.
“How do you know that?”
“I know many things Sam, how did I get your account number to send you a hundred million dollars? How did I know you’d be at the restaurant? How do I know your ex-girlfriend is Amelia Bruce? Many things Sam, I know it all,” Clinton replied, with a big smile.
Sam was left in awe, “Have you been stalking me?”
“Well, I won’t call it stalking, you’re the master’s long-lost little brother, Sam, I just got to know that a few months ago, and was asked to bring you in at the right time, and I guess this is the right time.”
“Your family is the richest in this city Sam, there’s nothing in this world, that can make you poor ever again,” Clinton assured, leaning towards Sam.
This is Los Angeles! And his family was the richest? That couldn’t be true, Sam thought. It was so difficult to assimilate everything all at once. He closed his eyes for a few minutes, trying to comprehend what his ears had heard.
“We are here already,”
The voice jolted Sam back from his thoughts, the car door opened, and Clinton gestured to him to alight first.
Sam obeyed, and as soon as he stepped out, he recognized the luxurious Villa at once, Amelia had told him of this place, once again, the expression on Sam’s face was priceless; he never imagined that one day he’d be living here.
“This would be your new home for now, Sam.” Clinton smiled, buttoning up his blazers.
For now? Sam thought, was there more? He uttered in his mind as he admired the beautiful villa….

The healthy rays of the morning sun, found their way into Sam's large bedroom, going straight for his eyes, the curtains weren’t closed when he fell asleep last night. The brightness of the sun shone brightly in his eyes.He robbed it slowly with the back of his palm, and then suddenly he gasped on the king-sized bed, his eyes wide open and filled with the same surprise and confusion as yesterday. When Sam saw where he was, he relaxed himself and covered his face with both of his hands, this was still like a dream to him. He would have gone back to his small apartment if all these didn’t happen all of a sudden. Until now, he still had little doubts in his heart about this whole turnaround, it was necessary; everything happened too fast, and he was taking the change well.

“Did you by any chance give someone such an amount you speak of, yesterday?” The bank manager asked, gazing at Sam curiously. Sam was rather confused by his question, why would he give someone a hundred million dollars, when he himself had just gotten the same amount of money the previous day? Seeing the confusion in Sam’s eyes, “Something like a gift to someone,” he clarified. Sam gave a negative nod, still looking lost. The manager seemed to have remembered something, the previous day, a wealthy man had gifted his grandson a hundred million dollars; so he thought maybe Sam was the man, that would have confirmed that he truly had such an amount in his bank. The little crowd in the bank had their attention and ears on the matter that was happening between Sam and the bankers, it was rather embarrassing for Sam; even now that he became totally rich overnight, he was still being ridiculed. When the manager saw that Sam wasn’t the person he had expected him to be, his face reverted

Sam’s phone ranged so loud inside the bank, because of the silence, it startled some of the customers and it angered the bank manager. “Turn the phone off Mr. Sam, this is a banking hall,” the bank manager growled, fury in his eyes. Sam had been tempting him to pour out his anger for some time now, and he was finally succeeding. Everybody inside the bank turned their attention to Sam whose phone was still ringing aloud, even the man who was busy dialing the honorable guest's number looked at him disgustedly because of the sound. Sam didn’t listen to the bank manager, he didn’t care about the eyes that were staring at him, he was getting used to this everyday humiliation; yesterday it was at the restaurant and now today, it was in a bank. His life had gone from bad to good, and to bad again since Amelia left him for Derek. Sam looked at the manager scornfully, before picking up the call and he immediately he did, the middle-aged man that was calling the honorable guest saw that th

“Pack your things and leave at once, I’ll have your sack letters ready in no time,” The president urged, he was so mad at them for treating a customer in such a way. It wasn’t even because Sam was an important guest, it was ordinary decency to treat a customer well.The whole bank was silent again for a moment, all the workers in the bank including the customers were all shocked by the sudden decision that Christopher Logan just made. The manager and his clerk were too surprised to even utter a word, Christopher was a very strict man when it came to discipline. They won’t be able to plead with him to forgive them, that was the end of their jobs. Sam wasn’t surprised that they were sacked, and he didn’t try to plead on their behalf, they deserved it for the humiliation they did to him, people like them do not deserve to work at a place like this. He was totally disappointed in their service. Being ridiculed and humiliated at the restaurant was still acceptable since he was a worker
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Two Different Kind of Friends
Sam was angry with what Amelia just said, but he maintained composure, he was a wealthy man now, and getting unnecessarily angry wasn’t ideal, he’d let his money speak for him. Although she was just talking only to Sam’s friends, the crowd in front of the post was surprised at her behavior. It was irrational and immature, some people who wanted to get jobs from the post walked away disgustedly, but still, the crowd didn’t reduce, who wouldn’t want to work in a prestigious company? Sam’s friends were furious at her words, they had no idea that she and Sam had broken up, was it because of that, she wouldn’t offer them a job? “That’s kind of stupid, Amelia, just because you’re anchoring this post doesn’t make you a god you know,” one of Sam’s roommates in college spoke out outrageously. He was upset about Amelia’s mindset, they were inheriting another man’s sin. Amelia gave him a stern look without uttering a word, she continued attending to people that weren’t Sam’s friends, howev

Amelia was laughing like it was a joke, but she was actually calling security on her cell phone. “Hello, we have a problem here, at Derek’s and Co post…..yeah,....please hurry up,” She dropped the call with a smile. Sam wasn’t embarrassed by their laughter, nor was he moved by the call Amelia just made; he didn’t care anymore; they were all ignorant of his current state so he expected nothing less. A few of Sam's roommates, that didn’t join in insulting Sam when Amelia ordered it, were still there watching the scene, they were still trying to believe that all Sam was saying was the truth, because, even though they won’t talk bad against him, they knew how poor Sam was.Sam smiled and brought out the entry card that certifies you as an employer in the job fare. Showing it to Amelia and her doubting gang of betrayals, the laughter subsided when they saw the card Sam was holding, it was just like the ones sitting on Amelia’s table. It was meant only for employers. “That’s probably a

“Hi Amelia,” Charity waved with a beautiful smile. But Amelia was in no mood for pleasantries, she had a dreadful sneer on her face and was embarrassed and pained for what Sam was doing. She still believed he was doing it to get back to her, but it was already going too far beyond what she could call a prank. Charity was a little surprised that her best friend didn’t respond to her greetings, but merely looking at her would tell anyone that Amelia wasn’t herself.“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, don’t tell me?” Benson paused, glancing at Amelia and then at Sam. He was confused, what was really going on; who was employing who? “Wait, I’m lost… what’s happening?”Benson questioned, curiously. He couldn’t deduce what was going on. He had called for Sam to attend the job fare, because he knew Sam was broke and needed a job to sustain himself, but seeing Sam here with a group of people around him was confusing. “I’m hiring, Ben,” Sam replied, stealing a glance at Charity, he fe

“Is all this for real?” Ben approached Sam, looking anxiously at him. Now that Amelia had gone, it was time for Sam to explain how he was hiring people in the job fare instead of trying to get a job. He needed an explanation for the words that kept coming out of his mouth. “Let the lady answer, Ben. I cannot begin to explain,” Sam giggled, glancing at Ben and then returning his gaze to Charity who was still reasoning the offer. She was also doubting, maybe all this was merely a joke; because there was absolutely no way Sam was hiring people to work for him while he dropped out of school just to provide for a woman who had dumped him. “I would like to know what position you wish to employ me in and the salary compensation,” Charity tucked her blonde hair beside her ear, suddenly feeling shy for no reason. “My personal assistant, I need someone I can trust with my affairs. I’m willing to give you $5000 for accepting my offer and then $10,000 as your monthly compensation,” Sam answ

Immediately Ariana reported the news to Derek, she heard a beeping sound that indicated that the receiver had hung up. She fell down on her knees outside the hospital and continued crying her eyes out, somewhere deep inside her heart; she prayed that the news hadn’t affected Derek in anyway.***The cell phone dropped from Derek’s hand and landed on the marble floor of his sitting room, the glass of whiskey he was holding in his left also fell off his grip and shattered on the floor, causing Amelia to rush out of the kitchen that was close to the sitting room.

The Share of Guilt
Sam felt a double blow to his heart, in the midst of all these tribulations, Derek was coming for him. It wasn’t as if he didn’t expect it, he was somehow responsible for thier mother’s death, and Derek who has forever hated him would always believe he was the cause of Elena’s death. “Although I’ve spoken to him about not doing something stupid, but I’m not really sure he’s going to heed to my advise, which is the reason I’m telling you.” Clinton continued, staring at Sam closely. It was now somewhat his responsibility to take care of Sam, now that Ethan was in the brink of death, but he kept praying in his heart for God to give Ethan few more months. “What do you mean Derek is coming for him?” Ariana who had been listening for awhile chipped in, sniffing and staring suprisedly at Clinton. “You and Ethan are the only people who would believe the story about Elena’s death, Derek will not; and I’m sure you know why,” Clinton responded.

Sam pulled up from the embrace and stared at his fiancée with so much affection in his blue eyes. Emily’s eyes widened and her smile brightened, she was pregnant for Sam, just when her step sister aborted his child. It seemed the child reincarnated or something. “Are…are you for real?” The surprise and joy was so obvious on her expression, she hadn’t felt this much joy before, despite the fact that she just escaped death narrowly. How situations can change in a split of a second. “The doctor just told me now, the baby’s safe and I’m mostly glad that you’re also,” Sam revealed, he was almost starting to tear up now. “Oh gosh, I’m so so happy… can’t believe this is happening, Sam.” Emily’s voice sounded like she’d burst into tears soon. “It is happening, Em, you’re going to be a mum and I would be a dad, even though we just experienced the most traumatic experience of our lives, this news has brought so much joy, enough to overwhelm our sadness,” Sam narrated, staring at Emily wit

“Talk to me, Ariana, what is it you want to tell me?” Ethan climbed off the bed and rushed towards Ariana, holding her hands. He was surprised at her sudden burst in tears, what could have gone wrong, his heart started to pound abnormally in an instant. “I don’t know how to say this, but, promise me that you wouldn’t be affected by this news,” Ariana cried, even though she had mentioned the first two words, Ethan hadn’t grabbed what she wanted to talk about. He was still totally in the dark. Ethan looked at her confusedly, she was making him more scared and his heartbeat continued to move up drastically. He couldn’t promise such a thing, because he had no idea what she wanted to reveal to him and with all of this fuss, it was certain that it was something negative. “What’s going on, Ariana? You’re making me anxious already, just spill the beans,” Ethan's patience wouldn’t last long, has he held Ariana's hands, he was staring into her teary eyes and it was breaking his heart. But

Difficult Words
Sam’s mouth fell open, but no words came out. He was totally unaware of that, especially in this kind of situation, who would have thought that Emily was pregnant. “The baby’s fine, even after the drugs and stress she went through, it’s actually a miracle somewhat,” the doctor continued, smiling broadly, oblivious to what was going on in Sam’s head. Sam still remained shocked and mute, Emily was pregnant for him, God was really working miracles, just when Amelia had gone and aborted his child, then came another one. “Mr. Sam…. Mr. Samuel, are you okay?” The doctor was suddenly concerned about Sam's silence and shocked expression. Sam nodded positively without uttering any words, his eyes still popped wide. “Why is it so surprising to hear that your wife’s pregnant, actually I thought you’d tell me you know already,” the doctor was starting to get confused with Sam’s reactions and response to the news he just delivered. “You… oh God, you wouldn’t understand, doc.

The Beginning of the End
Jonathan who was already scared because of his present predicament, and wasn’t concentrating on the conversation was overwhelmingly shocked by what he just heard Clinton say. Dead? How’s that even possible? He thought, Jonathan couldn’t believe it, just as he couldn’t believe he’d be going to jail soon. Derek shook his head, staring at Clinton with his eyes wide open and his heart beating so hard like it’d pop out of his chest. It seems what he just heard was a fluke or something, there was no way that was true. “Wha…what…what did you just say?” He stuttered, trying as much as possible to calm his nerves and not believe what he heard earlier. Clinton sighed, this was the real reason why he came to pass the message himself, he was so sure that Derek would take the hit harder than Ariana because Derek loved his mother more than Ethan, it was as if the two children picked one parent each. However, they still loved both thier parents. If it had been Sam giving this report, it’d even

Walls Have Ears.
(Back in Ethan’s Mansion) Ariana went into the guest bathroom to wash up her face, she had cried her eyes out and Ethan would definitely know no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She could reduce the swollen part of her face but the redness in her eye balls wouldn’t be easily removed. She stared at the mirror, looking at her reflection for a few seconds; but all she was seeing was the flashes of her mother’s face. Still, she couldn’t believe that Elena was dead, it was the most difficult reality to accept and it shattered her heart to molecules even though she didn’t have a perfect relationship with her mother. Now, it was evident and obvious that she’d become an orphan very soon, losing both her parents at such a tender age. The fact that none of them was going to hold her hand and lead her through the aisle and bless her marriage when she decided to have one was heartbreaking. Ariana had no idea how she wanted to relay the message to her father without him getting a heart a

If Walls Could Talk
Derek stepped out of the vehicle slowly, gazing at Clinton with so much suspicion; no one except he and Jonathan knew about the location that Elena was, then how the hell did Clinton know about Elena? That was Derek’s first surprise, but that wasn’t all, now that it seemed like something was going on in the location where Elena was, he also had information about that. It was obviously concluded that Elena had been discovered, Derek thought, closing the door to his vehicle carefully. “Let’s go in, Derek. What I’m about to tell you is very important,” Clinton didn’t wait for approval, he started walking towards Derek’s mansion as soon as he finished talking. Derek glanced at Jonathan and then at Clinton again who was already close to the front door of his house. What exactly was going on? Derek was utterly confused and he was being killed with uttermost suspense. “We need to hear him out, Derek. Clinton doesn’t joke around, but you and I know that for Clinton to have information ab
