THE ZILLIONAIRE HEIR

Chapter 1: Betrayal

We're here,” Malcolm Miller said as he stood in front of the metal door together with Audrey Williams.

Creak! Creak! Creak! The door opened as they both walked in. The sight in front of them was a weak, thin man who looked no better than a skeleton, his spar hair clung to his face as his cheeks boned out, and his eyes sunk in.

 He looked like a walking dead, coupled with his hospital outfit.

Audrey was endowed with beauty and grace, her small oval face donned with blue eyes and a high nose bridge, coupled with her enchanting figure and her blond hair. 

Malcolm stood out equally handsome but with a hint of fierceness around his handsome countenance, his light brown amber eyes had a touch of arrogance, and his Black wavy hair shined like that of volcanic glass.

 “Brother, l can see you are still alive, this is great, so i hope the service here is to your liking,” Malcolm said as he saw the weak man.

     “Malcolm, Audrey, you two traitors, forget it I will never sign that agreement, l would rather destroy my empire than give it to both of you,” Eren said in anger.

 “When did all this begin".  Eren thought as his gaze rested on Malcolm. Ever since their parents died, all he could remember was the 8-year-old child running after him calling him “big brother”. 

       

 He labored from scratch as his uncles confiscated every bit of property owned by his parents. He started working at a junkyard, where food was scarce, but he made sure Malcolm got the best side of the meal with a daily ration of 3 meals a day. 

Most times he starved, but he made sure Malcolm was well-fed.

 After securing his first significant amount of wealth, his circumstances improved, which allowed him to enroll Malcolm in a reputable school. However, as his success grew, so did his workload. 

The demands of these expanding businesses made him spend less time with Malcolm. Reflecting on this, Eren couldn't help but feel a sense of regret and self-blame. 

He wondered if his lack of attention and presence contributed to Malcolm's current situation.

This realization weighed heavily on Eren, making him question his priorities and decisions. He wished he could go back and change the past.

“Malcolm, I apologize for not being there for you, but why did you do this? How fragile was your love for me that you had to collide with my enemies to go against me? You know how l suffered to build TRENOX Group, but you aim to destroy my life's achievement?

 You poisoned me and put me here, why Malcolm, why?” Eren uttered in pain

         

 "You want to know the reason? Eren, hahaha, don't kid me, you are the reason, and you will always be the reason, ever since we were small, l was always the junior brother of the all-talented Eren.

 Nobody saw my abilities because you were there, you were just like an annoying stain that refused to wash away.

You said it yourself that you built TRENOX yourself, where do l come in here, l freaking hate you, you are constantly hugging all the game and glory to yourself while you leave the scraps for me to get,” Malcolm said, his eyes green with envy.

     “That's why l collided with Audrey's family and regularly drugged your morning tea every day for five years. To be honest, words cannot express my happiness seeing you like this because very soon, Eren will die and Malcolm will thrive. Malcolm continued 

      

“Exactly, Eren!  Malcolm, l took great pains fawning on you, you have no idea how much hatred l have for you each time i am addressed as your fiancée, Malcolm is the one l love, not you, Now sign this paper so we can't get out of this disgusting place,” Audrey said as she tossed a paper bag to Eren.

 Eren's sight shifted to Audrey, honestly, he had no impression of this idiotic socialist, the only thing he could remember was him being engaged to her because of a deal, but he made sure she got everything she wanted, so it still hurt seeing her all lovey-dovey with Malcolm, but that wasn't even his concern as his gaze glued onto the agreement in the bag.

“You guys got to be kidding me, l will never do such a thing, l won't give up all my life's achievements to a number of white-eyed wolves. 

You want recognition, build your company step by step, and stop being such a wimp, Malcolm. Only fools give excuses for their inadequacy.” Eren uttered in anger.

“As for you, you can take the garbage for all l care, it's as disgusting as you by the way, and just for your info, l never liked you so stop treating yourself as a treasure and get the heck out of my face, Eren continued as he tossed the paper bag back at Audrey.

“You bastard, how dare you” Audrey shouted in rage as she glared at Eren.  

“It hurts when someone tells you to your face how insignificant and ugly you are? Oops, I'm so sorry I kept this from you all this while.” Eren jokes.

“Enough! Eren, how dare you insult my girl, l have no patience left for you, look at this, you might want to consider your stance again”.

 Malcolm said as he tossed another paper bag back to Eren.

“What's this, Malcolm, you bastard! How could you do this, you, you… Killed Fred, how come, he was my friend, he was like a brother to you, you killed him, why?" Eren shouted in rage as he lunged himself at Malcolm, but he was easily subdued.

Eren, if I could treat you my brother like this, what a more mere childhood friend, Eren, anything that stands in my way of getting TRENOX will be eliminated. So sign these documents or Fred's family will join him in the grave, this choice is yours.
