Troy thought about it for a moment.

“It can wait." He said to Teress and he turns away from her. He was still walking when he heard the shrill of an alert message In his phone.

DING

He brought the phone from the pocket of his sweat pants and saw that it was a message from his banking app.

'TROY BARRY YOU HAVE RECEIVED 963,000,000,000,000 FROM WINTHROPS. FA HOLDINGS.'

Troy was still reading the message in shock, his muscles where twitching, his heart rate was going up and his blood pressure would soon surpass abnormal.

Another message came in.

'BLACK CARD INVITATION FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BANK, TROY BARRY YOUR CURRENT BALANCE HAS EXCEEDED 000,000,000 AND WE WOULD SEND YOUR BLACK CARD BY MAIL. THIS IS A CARD CREATED SOLELY FOR THE ULTRA-WEALTHY, JUST FOR YOU'

Troy almost dropped his phone to the concrete when yet another message alert rang. 'TROY BARRY ENDLESS AND LIMITLESS SPENDING IS NOT FOR THE ORDINARY OR WEAK. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?.

WITHDRAW OUT $2,000,000 FROM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND SQUANDER IT WITHIN TWENTY FOUR HOURS AND RECEIVE A BONUS OF ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS!'

“What the Fuck, am I dreaming, is this real?!." Troy asked himself. His legs could no longer support him as they became wobbly.

He was wondering what he would spend the money on. Two million dollars in twenty four hours, would it even be possible, he reread the message and saw that it was like a dare, he is no longer ordinary or weak.

“Ping!" A shrill came from his phone, Troy thought that it would be another message alert from his bank but what he saw was something else. It was a call from an unknown number.

“Hello, this is Troy Barry speaking." Troy answered trying to sound formal.

“Troy, baby, it's me your wife Vivienne." The soft voice called from the other end of the line. Troy had blocked her number from his phone so she must have purchased another SIM in order told reach him. Now that he was rich, she wanted him.

Troy closed his eyes and took in breath.

“Hello, Troy ae you there. We can make this right, I can just tear up the divorce papers and we would forget anything ever happened between us. We would spend the night together—" immediately Troy heard her words he felt disgusted.

" You're trying to lure me in with sex?. Look at me here thinking that maybe you can change…" Troy said and he ended the call and immediately blocked the number.

He was weak after the call, all the things that have been happening since the last few days was taking a toll on him.

Now he had only one day to sqaunder two million dollars. He was walking when he saw some men looking well dressed climb down from multiple expensive cars.

He recognized them instantly, most of them were Hollywood actors. There were other big estates owned by rich and powerful families in the same area his estate was located, it was no a surprise that walking on the road you would bump into a celebrity.

Troy was curious when he saw the men arguing about something with two young women. After the men left Troy walked up to the women.

“Hello, I don't mean to bother you ladies but is everything alright?." Troy asked the women.

One of the two women was dessed in beige suit and the other in blue suit.

The one In beige suit raised her eyes to look at him but as soon as she saw his clothes and the way he looked, she looked down on him, she didn't bother about relating her problems.

" You're bothering me, leave now." She said to Troy.

" Don't be rude Muna, you don't know who you could bump into so don't underestimate anybody. " The one in blue suit said to her colleague.

“Don't preach to me!." Muna snapped at her colleague in blue suit who then turned her full attention to Troy.

“We are both working for a company that finds investors and sponsors. About four months ago, a movie producer reached out to us looking for an investor and we were supposed to find twenty. We were each assigned to get ten Investors each, the time is due and the movie is about to start but I have not found enough investors to close the deal." The young lady said.

“You're daft. When they are comparing blindness they should leave bats out of it and just say Kelly instead, as blind as Kelly. You fool, look at who you're wasting your time with, don't you know rich men when you see them, this one does not look like he has enough to feed himself talk more of giving out for investment." Muna said harshly.

Her words left a bitter atmosphere.

" Kelly... That's your name right?." Troy asked turning his attention to Kelly.

She managed a very bright smile.

“Yes sir, I'm Kelly Clark." She replied.

“How much do you need to complete the deal?." Troy asked her.

Muna scoffed and waited to see as Troy would run away when Kelly called the amount which was $800,000 but instead Troy gave a smile.

“Investors get a huge return for their investment." Kelly said taking out a paper and handing it over to Troy. Troy read it and calculated his profit, he would get four million dollars once the movie is out and it reaches it milestone, which was a huge possibility since it would be a blockbuster.

“I'll also get a referral fee from it and a promotion." Kelly added, she was really nice to Troy, he couldn't help but smile at her cute and down to earth nature. He nodded his head in approval. He did not want to be a investor even though it meant more money for him, he wanted to give the money out with no strings attached to it. The words played in his head 'DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? '

“I'll be a sponsor." Troy said to Kelly, she jumped in happiness.

“How much do you want to add to it, ten cents?." Muna added harshly directing her cold glaring eyes towards Troy.

“Eight hundred thousand dollars." Troy said.

Muna's face coloured purple.
