Chapter 52Charles repeated. “Are you affiliated with the Alcantaras?”Henry shook his head wondering why Charles was drawing such inferences. “Why don’t we get inside the house first so that you guys can rest,” Nathan replied, sweeping Charles’s analogy under the carpet. The excited Henry took the lead. He traced his way inside while Nathan and Charles went after him two of the guards went to the Rolls Royce and collected the bags Henry and Charles came with. The boys stepped into the house and were swooned. Henry turned in awe. “What the hell? You can’t possibly own this place, Nathan. Is this really yours?”He moved to the smart HD television occupying a large chunk of the wall. “This is the largest television I’ve ever seen. How many inches is that?”Nathan grinned and showed them the bar stand. Charles strode to the bar stand. It was stuffed with the most expensive wines. He turned to Nathan. “These drinks here must cost a fortune!”Nathan nodded and folded his arms across h
Chapter 53Charles jumped out of the stool and rushed to the table. Together with Henry, they stood before Nathan with astonishing eyes. He presented the cards to them. “These are my cards.”“All of it?”Nathan confirmed with repeated nods. “Yes!”Charles went for the plain gold card. “How does it work? Like credit cards?”Nathan agreed with a nod. “They look different but work like the conventional credit cards.”The boys haven’t seen such cards before. Henry picked one of the cards and began to flip it. “Jeez Nathan. This is cool. I never knew you had three cards.” Said, Henry. He thought the only card Nathan had was the one he pulled out in the mall. Charles and Henry exchanged the cards and continued staring at them intensely. “This is pure Gold.”“This one even has your family logo on it.” Henry hinted while caressing the card with the letter A tag. Nathan pointed at the gold card Charles was holding. “I got this the day after my birthday.”"I went to the bank to confirm th
They broke away from the embrace, their faces beaming with excitement. “There’s so much to see around here guys. I can’t wait to give you guys a tour of this place.” Said, Nathan. “This house looks like a museum Nathan and I’m sure there’s more to it,” Henry replied and roved his eyes around. “Well, it speaks for itself. The house speaks of wealth and luxury.” Charles agreed with Nathan, his eyes fixated on the medusa painting on the wall. “Why don’t we go upstairs so that I can show you guys your rooms.”Nathan took the lead. He aimed for the staircase while the boys went after him. He led them up to the hallway upstairs. The boys stood there for a while and looked down at the living room from their spots. “It’s such a great view over here.”“Yes. My room is by the right.” Nathan said. “Wow!”“This way!”He led them to the enclosed doors by his left. They noticed other shut doors on their left as well as their right. “How many rooms do you have here? It looks more like an hot
Chapter 55Nathan opened his eyes after his alarm clock gave the signal. He wiped his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms and sat up with a sigh. It was a few minutes past 7 am. He was certain that Charles and Henry were still in bed because, after dinner last night, the guys stayed up till dawn, chatting and sharing a glass of wine on the balcony. Nathan strode to the bathroom. After taking a shower, he sat by the edge of his bed and pulled out a file from one of his table cabinets. It was the file Mike had handed over to him a few days ago. He began going through the document containing the list of companies his family owned. Nathan was checking out the lists when his attention was drawn to the Phoenix Media House, which was the head of all other companies.He was acquainted with that name. He looked away, trying to figure it out when it came to him. Charles had mentioned it several times. Nathan went through the statement attached to the company where the staff, associates,
“Wassup bro!” Nathan waved at Henry the moment he walked into the room. Henry joined them on the bed and sat next to Charles. “I could hear your laughter from miles away. So tell me. What’s the juicy news because you guys seem excited.”“How was your night?” Nathan asked, ignoring Henry’s assertion. Henry waved his hand down. “Forget about that Nathan. You guys should tell me what you were discussing behind my back.”“Answer the damn question.” Charles insisted. “Fine!” Henry agreed with a sigh. “I had a good night. Now tell me what’s cracking you guys up.”Nathan smiled. Charles cleared his throat. “Nathan is going to be a member of the millionaires club.”“Woah!” Henry was already beaming with excitement. “He’ll also be attending the millionaire’s party scheduled for this weekend,” Charles revealed. Henry shook his head with a smile. “You have no idea how excited I am right now.” He turned to Nathan. “That event is going to be grand. I can feel it already.”“Yeah!” Charles a
“Wow!”“How comes we didn’t see this place last night?” Charles spat and began taking steps like a controlled robot toward the Bugatti. Nathan rumbled in laughter. Henry, who had a thing for Lamborghini didn’t take his eyes off the vehicle before him. He turned to Nathan with stars in his eyes. “That’s a fucking Lamborghini!”“I know right,” Nathan replied after a chuckle. Henry rushed to the Lamborghini and couldn’t wait to lay his hands on it. He went around the car with his pupils dilating and the corners of his mouth stretching with excitement. Charles, who was fascinated with the Bugatti turned to Nathan. “Is this the new Bugatti Bolide?”Nathan confirmed with a nod. “That’s it.”Charles gasped and folded his arms across his chest. “This is the latest vehicle and I heard that only a handful was made. Damn!”Nathan gave repeated nods and moved closer to him. “Only three Bugatti Bolides were shipped to Rockville city.”Charles had a dropped jaw. Nathan continued. “My dad got
Chapter 58The boys dispersed to their rooms and assembled downstairs about an hour later. “All set?” Nathan demanded after his feet landed on the last staircase. “Ready as hell!” Henry replied with a wide grin. Charles gave him a soft pat on the back. “He’s so excited about driving us. He was the first to get ready.”Nathan smiled and slipped his hand into his pocket. He pulled out the key to the Lamborghini and handed it over to Henry. “There you go Mr. Chaffeur!”Henry snatched the keys from Nathan like it was some treasure. He dashed out. The boys shook their heads and hurried after him. When Nathan and Charles got to the garage, Henry was already settled in the driver’s seat. “Hurry up guys. Stop walking like slugs. We need to go shopping.”They chuckled and settled on the back seat. “Are you guys ready?” Henry asked, his face screaming excitement. The boys slipped their seat belts around them while Henry adjusted the front mirror. “I think we are all set,” Nathan said.
Chapter 59The boys bore disappointing looks. Charles was the most disappointed and his countenance was more evident among the boys. Just when he thought he was going to look smart in that Brioni, the manager was about to end his dream of owning a designer suit. Nathan and his friends walked up to the manager. Before Nathan could speak, the manager spoke. “I’m sorry guys. You can’t have these suits.” Reiterated to the manager. “But they were on display.” Nathan countered. As far as he was concerned, outfits that were on display were not purchased ones so they had the right to own them.The manager cleared his throat loudly. “Listen! The suits are still on display because the buyer hasn’t claimed them yet. He’s not currently available but will return to pick them up.” He explained. Nathan sighed and pouted his lips in annoyance. “So you’re saying the buyer bought all our three suits?”The manager pointed at the Brioni. “Not just the ones in your possession. All five of them.”Hen
