Millionaire

It takes him less than 15 minutes to arrive at the station and purchase a ticket. stepping into the crowded subway train, Luke rides for around 30 minutes before exiting at his destination. As he steps out of the train, he feels the familiar rush of air hit his face as he stands beneath the bright lights above.

Walking quickly across the platform, he makes it to work. He takes a deep breath before entering the office building and heading straight for the elevators located on the opposite end of the lobby.

Before getting inside the elevator, A man stops him. "Excuse me, are you Luke Castellan?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Luke inquires.

"My name is Mr. Goudeau. I am a representative of your Aunts law firm. Are you aware of the terms of your inheritance?" Mr. Goudeau asks politely.

Luke shakes his head. "No, what happened?" Luke tries his best to pretend not to know what had happened. It sounded a bit forced but it was acceptable.

"That's fine. But I will ask that you follow me for a moment. The rest of your family is already present upstairs."

Nodding his head, Luke lets Mr. Goudeau lead him up to the 10th floor where he comes face to face with his parents, sister, brother and cousin. All standing in a row, staring at him in disbelief.

"Go ahead and come inside." Mr. Goudeau instructs Luke as he himself takes his position at the front of the room.

"What's he doing here?" Luke hears his mother whisper angrily as she looks down at him.

"Who invited this failure? Does he even need to be here?" Luke's brother questions.

His sister and cousin have a troubled expression on their faces as the watch him. "He wasn't supposed to be here. This ruins everything!" Luke's cousin angrily whispers as she glances at him.

Mr. Goudeau clears his throat loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm yourselves. We have a lot to discuss today. First and foremost, I want to thank you all for coming along with me today. I'm sure that you are all very busy. However, this matter is one that requires your full attention. So, without wasting any more time, let's begin."

Everyone nods their heads as Mr. Goudeau starts to explain the situation. As you all are aware, Ms. Vanary has recently passed away after succumbing to an illness which caused her heart to stop beating. In accordance with her will, I am tasked with informing you of your share of her estate. Ms. Vanary has left each of the children with 25% of her company. She has also gifted her home and possessions to her sister and brother-in-law. Her other assets include cash accounts, stocks and bonds as well as various real estates throughout the country."

With a sigh of relief, Luke breathes a huge sign of gratitude. "They were actually telling the truth. I really was left a portion of the company. I guess I have my lazy aunt to thank for not revising her will in years. I guess she never thought that she would pass so soon."

Luke smiles as the box returns to alert him that he has obtained his reward.

You have successfully completed your mission: Now awaiting your next mission. Please be patient.

The rest of the process proceeded smoothly as Mr. Goudeau went over the details of the will and explained exactly what everyone was entitled to. Everyone seemed dissatisfied by the outcome, but none of them said anything, although Luke could feel the stares from everyone in the room.

Afterward, Mr. Goudeau led the group outside and handed them what was owed to each of them.

"Take good care of yourselves and don't hesitate to contact me if you ever need anything else."

At last, Luke received his portion of the inheritance. He couldn't believe it! $500,000,000 dollars!!! This is the kind of money that his family had kept away from him all his life. And at last, he gets a chance to take it back from them, but this was not nearly enough. He wasn't content with just being rich. What he really wanted was to destroy everything that his family had built up.

As he is ready to leave, Luke's sister walks up to him with a smug smile on her face. "So, Luke. How does it feel to obtain something that you have no right to possess? You can't deny that our aunt left it for us and you just happened to have not been removed, but you stole it anyway. Don't think that we won't hold you accountable for that."

Luke frowns as she speaks. "How dare you accuse me of theft when I've done nothing wrong. My aunt gave me the money rightfully, but you decided that I don't deserve it. I deserve this far more than someone who spends her days sleeping around." Luke says coldly as he glares at her.

"Don't talk to me like that, you scumbag!" She screams angrily. "Your worthless ass isn't fit to own even a sliver of what we have!"

Luke laughs at the insult. "Well, if that's the case, then why don't you take it from me? Go ahead and try and steal what's mine! Just like you've always done. I'll make sure to give you one hell of a fight!"

"Shut up!!" His father shouts at both of them.

"Enough already. Let's get out of here. We're going home. You two can continue your bickering another time." He tells them as he turns around and storms away.

Once everyone is gone, Luke stands alone in the empty room with his hands balled up in fists. His anger was boiling within him and he felt the urge to lash out against his family once again. But instead, he forces himself to relax his arms and slowly exhales.

He knew that he should probably calm down and wait for the right opportunity to strike, but for now, he needed to clear his mind. Now that he has a portion of the company's profits, there was no need for him to work in his tiny office. With his newfound fortune, he could finally move out of the shoddy apartment and start living a comfortable life.

Using his inheritance, Luke purchases a new property for himself. It was much nicer then the place he currently lived in, however he didn't plan on staying there long. After the encounter with his sister, He set his targets on taking everything from her first. After purchasing the house, he moves what little belongings he has in immediately.

For the first few hours, he spends most of his time wandering around his new home admiring every inch of it. It was quite large compared to his old apartment. In fact, It was much larger than any normal home. The interior was decorated beautifully and everything seemed brand new.

Sitting on the couch in the lounge area, Luke wonders what he could do with all of this space. There were plenty of rooms and even a large backyard that could be used to host parties or events. The possibilities seemed endless, Although he wouldn't be using any of these areas for the foreseeable future. It wasn't like he had anyone to invite over.

Taking a sip of his drink, he glances up to see that the box had finally returned with his next mission.

"Reveal your sister's true self to the world."

Reading the mission, Luke couldn't hide his smile. He had already planned on taking her down but now he knew that doing so would benefit him greatly. He was excited to see how this played out.
