How to become bastardly rich in a few hours…is that even possible?... Yes, yes it is.
I hear the terrible news and everything fades off. I don't think of anything, but at least the first thing I remember to do is end the call and pick up my keys. I go to the garage of my mansion and I run to my Mercedes-Benz. I start the car into life and after hours of driving, I'm here, at home. I get down from the car and I raise my eyes to look at the house. It's enormous, and it screams wealth. I'm Hans Ronald, son of the richest man in the city and an entrepreneur-billionaire myself. My world was spinning perfectly until I got a call that my parents had been murdered and all I can think of is revenge!.I walk into the house. There's a maid walking up the stairs, she turns to me when she hears my footsteps and then she greets me.“Good day master Hans."“Where's the lawyer?." I ask her.“He's in the office upstairs master." She says and then she bows before she leaves. I walk to the office and I push open the door. Sitting on the biggest leather seat in the room was a lawyer I was familiar with, but I didn't know the other men sitting in the room. They were all wearing black suits and holding black brief cases.“ I'm sorry about your parents demise sir." The lawyer said." What's this, why are there so many men in here?." I ask the lawyer and he gives a short smile before he says." These men are here because we're signing off the will to you." The lawyer says standing up from his seat. " Please have a seat sir." He says bowing a little and gesturing for me to take a seat.“My parents have been dead for just a few hours and we're gathering here to hand over the will to me, they haven't even had their funeral yet." I said frowning and turning around to look at all the men in their eyes.“We're so sorry sir, but we have to do this. It's very important, we can have your parents funeral later, in fact we're planning the ceremony right now." The Lawyer says smiling at me and gesturing towards the table.“How much is in the will?." I asked the Lawyer and all the men In the room laughed, but it wasn't in mockery.“A lot sir, too much. An entire generational fortune master Hans... It's a lot, have a look for yourself." The Lawyer said dropping a brief case right in front of me on the table, I take the biggest seat in the room, the same one that the lawyer was sitting on and I inched closer to glance at the file the lawyer has dropped on the table. I reach across the file, skipping through figures, there were lots of figures. Diamond properties, expensive jewelries, nine hundred and sixty three trillion dollars in an offshore account, a summer house in Texas, a castle in both Florence and Venice, private summer homes in Thailand, transport companies... Billion dollar assets in Dubai, expensive sport cars, private jets, private hotels, helicopters, yachts... I raise my head from the file and I turn to look at the lawyer who is grinning at me from ear to ear rubbing his palms together.“I get everything?." I asked him with a indifferent voice and a straight face that makes him frown a little.“Just your signature sir, it's very important that we have you signature on the paper. You're the only heir sir." The lawyer said urging me to sign the papers. I took a pen from the table and I sign the papers.“You can go for the funeral now master. Everything belongs to you now, you're the king of the world master Hans, the entire world. Such a young age and you're already a multi trillionaire. Congratulations sir." He said taking another bow. I stand up from the leather arm chair and with short strides I leave the parlour.They weren't joking when they said they were already planning the funeral. I walk into my bedroom in my parents house and I see a tailored black suit laying on the bed. I grab the suit and a note slips off. I pick it up and I read it. 'After the funeral, your attention is greatly needed at The Ronald empire' I pick the note up and shove it into my back pocket.***I climb down from the car and I walk into my mansion, that formerly belonged to my dad.“Master Hans, we need you to sign some documents at the company, sir." A voice said to me and I turned.“Who are you?." I asked the man that was following behind me. He's tall, with sandy blonde hair. He's wearing dark shades that matches his charcoal black suit.“I'm Sean, your father's account at the company, sir." He pulled his shades off and I could see his clear blue eyes in the clear weather.“Can I just breathe, I don't even have time to process all this. " I say to Sean and he nods frantically but he still persists." I'm sorry sir but this is urgent, we need to show you some documents and swear you in as the Chief Executive Officer sir, it would be quick. " He says taking a small bow." Let's go. " I say to him and I walk back outside.There is a white Rolls-Royce waiting outside. Sean opens the door and he slips into the driver seat. I open the door of the passenger seat and I enter into the car. Immediately I take a seat, my phone starts to ring.“Hello?." I say into the phone.“Hello, this is Sasha, your father's account." The melodic female voice said through the phone.“I thought Sean was my father's account..." I said suddenly alarmed.“Yes Sean is in charge of the United States, I'm calling from London, sir." That's the disadvantage to becoming bastardly rich in a few hours... You become indispensable.I'm being made CEO of yet another company. I walk into the sky scraper of my father's company in the central city.... No, wait not my father's company, mine. “Oh my gosh, he's so hot, he's more handsome than he looks in magazines." A female voice says as I walk through the reception. “He looks like he wouldn't even glance at us twice. He's cute, I can't believe he's going to be our new boss." The voice followed as I pass the reception and I walk into the lobby. Everybody's eyes are on me as I walk through the lobby. I enter into the elevator with Sean following behind me like a shadow. I walk into the big conference room that has glass for walls and doors. I'm greeted by the board of directors and in minutes I'm sworn in as the new CEO.“We needed a leader really quick, almost desperately." One man said stretching out his hand to me for a handshake. “Well-done son. Congratulations on being the new CEO of one of the most successful companies." The man said shaking my ha
The first person that comes in my mind is uncle max, my mother's Junior brother. He owns many different Casinos in the city but his headquarters is not far away from my current location. Immediately I pull up in the casinocs parking lot, I dash out of the car and I lunge inside. Suddenly I'm calm because I feel safe... I feel somewhat ashamed because I'm powerless over my enemies and I want to get revenge, but how?. “Run and hide, that's exactly what I'm doing now." I whispered to myself. I walk towards the VIP lounge. They're three bouncers standing in the door. “Good day sir." The three men say in unison.“Max, is he in?." I ask them and they nod their head. They hold the door open for me and I walk to my uncle's favourite spot, the VIP lounge. It's his favourite spot because of a lot of things, for one, it's very private, only a few people could get a glance inside here and only the richest of the rich could afford to be eligible, and why they want to
The words that escape my mouth are groans of pain and pleas in between. They had taken my watch worth thousands of dollars. That was a five figure watch, I didn't mind giving it to them. “Gimme your wallet!." One demanded, I didn't resist, I gave it to them, then my phone.“Damn, look at the amount of fat cash lying in this wallet, come here take a look." One of the men said to the other and that was when the opportunity came to run. I jumped to my feet and I sprang forward towards the main road. I knew they were chasing after me, but I didn't dare turn back to check the distance.*** Sweat is dripping down my face and I'm too weak to move a muscle. Everything starts to spin and sooner, I might just give up and fall to the ground. I touch my temple because it's throbbing hard and I bring it to my face to see blood on my fingers. I groan and raise my head up to the sky. I look around to see stores in a single line. I see a door that's wooden, it's blue a
My voice catches in my throat when I see the men. My hands starts to shake and I am frozen in my spot. Move! The voice in my head instructs me but I don't understand until it finally dawns on me that if I don't run and hide, I'll be dead in any second. Run and hide?That's for weaklings... And I'm a weakling.... those are the people that killed my parents and now they're here to kill me. If they kill me it's over, my wealth, my life, everything and I would never ever be able to taste revenge. My hands clench into fists at my side, then my mind falls on the book. I run towards the bedside table and I flip the pages frantically till I got to the middle page. I said the words, I shouted it at the top of my lungs and I expected something to happen, anything... uncontainable Superpowers, consuming cosmic lightning bolts?... But nothing happened, worse, I am more sacred now.“I knew this was a sham." I said throwing the book on the bed. There's a safe room for emergenc
“I'm commander Jax, ruler of the most feared and merciless army teams in the whole universe. Welcome to Von, Hans Ronald." For a moment I realize that my mouth is gaping open. I close it and try to speak but I can't find my tongue, the man standing in front of me is staring at me coldly. His eyes are blue and they look like my fingers would freeze if I try to touch them, his hair and his eyebrows are coal black, striking a very dramatic effect against his blue eyes. He's tall, about my height. And he looks strong, too strong. His whole body is toned with sinew muscles and he looks like he was carved out of fine stone by Michael Angelo. He's goodlooking, so goodlooking that I start to question my looks for the first time in my entire life. There's a scar that runs from his temple down below his ear and there's another one that runs from his collar bone and disappears under his shirt. His lips are cherry pink, his jaws are hard and he's still staring at me as if he wan
My smile fades as I take in the look on their faces, they looked hurt, all of them. I turned to look at the king, his daughter and the Kingsmen, they look like they're all humans. Now that I know that they aren't joking, I feel hurt for them and I want to help them, but I can't. It's an intra-world war and they expect me, Hans Ronald, to fight for them. I don't even hold open the doors of my car.“I'm sorry King Cypher, but I am not the man you want. What you need is a warrior, I'm weak, I know how to run companies but that's all, truly. You have the wrong person, if there was a way I could help, I would, but there is no way that I can help, I'll just be a pain in your royal ass.... " Everyone starts to laugh, except commander Jax and Princess Diane. Those two haven't even cracked a single smile. I smile, the King composes himself and with the raise of a single finger, everyone in the room shuts up, that is my thing, now I feel subtly uncomfortable in the face of th
But a single raise of King Cypher's finger shuts Troy up and he sits down.“Take him to the royal guest room." The king tells Jax. I pull my hand away from Jax's grip, he looks very angry. He turns away and he starts to lead me to the room. I walk Into it and I notice how beautiful and opulent it is. “You can leave now." I say to Jax and he stares at me long and hard, he turns away and then he marches down the hallway and disappeared down a flight of stairs. I take a seat in one of the couch, I didn't count till thirty before a knock came on my door. I spring up in happiness hoping that the teleporting machine has been prepared and I'm going to go back to earth.“Sir Hans, His Majesty, King Cypher is inviting you to have a royal dinner with them in the royal dinning hall. " the servant says." Tell him I appreciate but as I said earlier, I'll rather return back to earth sooner." I tell him and he bows, then he walks away. I go to sit down once again and he knock
“Get him before he gets away!." Jax shouts. My heart is skipping beats and I'm terrified. I reach the top of the stairs and I feel the feets of dozens of guards running after me. I run towards the door of my room, that is when I hear the first gun shot. Impulsively, I fall to the ground and I start to hear them fire at me but I'm laying low, if eventually, we're on levelled ground, they would shoot me to bits.“Shield, shield, fucking shield, system, wake up, activate shield, activate weapons!." I'm screaming on top of my voice and my voice is getting shadowed by the sound of gunshots.(Decline system can't follow multiple commands at a time.) I hear in my ear.“F*ck." I say placing my hand over my head as a bullet graze my knee. I fold my knee towards my chest.“Seize fire, seize fire you morons!." I heard Jax ordering... It took a few seconds before everything got calm and they had stop shooting. Immediately things get quiet, I spring to my feet and I start to run,
“Why haven't we had any wedding rituals yet?. " Estelle asked excitedly.“What do you mean we just left a bar." I told them.“What do you mean we just left a bar, is that the rituals of the earth people?." Teddy asked from where he was laying.“Humans, not Earth people." I reminded him.He shrugged and then he barfed.“The ritual of the Tarians and Voneana is that we take sweets before the day of the wedding." Core said.“Like what?.... Candy?." I asked them , I was shocked." Anything like that, could be candies." Kana said. “How come I never heard of this?." I asked nobody in particular.“Pay more attention next time." Teddy said once again." What's that?." Core asked me pointing outside a window towards a doughnut shop.“Pastry shop." I tell him.“Stop!." Kana shouts to the driver.“We're going there, now!." Kana shouted running towards the shop.Diane ran after her and Estelle staggered her way forward.Immediately Teddy stepped out he had to run to a corner to throw up.When he
In a way, I was wrong.I and Diane were about to enter into our car again when the same black car drove towards us.It was Fluer once again.She jumped down from her car and started towards us.“On second thoughts Hans, I'm here to apologize." She tells me.“For what?." I ask her “For leaving you back then." She tells me.I felt a tug at my arm, it was Diane." Baby, do you want to go inside?." I asked her.She shook her head. She wanted to stay. " Hans," Fluer said turning to Diane and eyeing her. “Remember how we were before?." She asked me tugging at my collar.I had to hold her hand again.I was patient with her because I used to know her and she was not just an ordinary stranger.She was not drunk, I didn't know why she was acting this way.“The Fluer I remembered was composed." I tell her.She shook her head." I'm different now. The Fluer you remember was a good girl, now I'm different, I'm better." She tells me." Please leave. " I tell her walking away, I got into the car
Amarà's POVIt was early, too early for me to be receiving calls. I pick up my phone and I look at my screen, it was Hans.Bells started ringing in my head as I wondered if there was a new problem.“Hello?." I said into the phone.“Hi, sorry for calling this early. I had plans for today and I wanted to ask you a question." Hans said. His voice carried no warnings whatsoever. “Hans." I said falling backwards into my bed.“don't you ever sleep?." I asked him playfully.He laughed." What's the question?. " I asked him." Do you know of any priest, one that can coordinate a marriage?." He asked me.I sit up.“Why would you want a priest?." I asked him. Not just any priest, one that had the license to grant a wedding." I'm getting married. " He said.My mouth was left hanging in the air.“That's right... Jeez, I thought it was just a joke." I confessed because I didn't see any rings in his finger, I wondered if he was just messing around.“It was no joke, so?." He asked me." Yeah yeah,
If you asked me I would say he deserved it.Angelo's body jerked as I shot him, I watched how his legs flew at his sides and how his eyes gave a very hilarious expression.I watched it like a stripper would watch her client take off her clothes for her. His dark hair was somehow splattered with blood and his face was almost spotless.I leave him there in my kitchen and I make my way outside holding his gun. The air was cold and winter was approaching. I could feel the cold air biting at the tip of my nose. I walked past the security gate and I saw the black Mercedes. I see that the driver side is empty.Knowing Max, he would be in that car.“Angelo what took you so long, I was about to go in there then I heard the gunshots and I knew you had taken care of the matter." Max said.I wondered if he was drunk, so drunk that he could not even tell between his nephew and his gun man. He thought that it was Angelo. “Uncle Max." I tell him. Resting my elbow on the car, he reached for the gu
Angelo's povIt's late at night, too late for any body to come visiting, so I was wary when I saw the lights from a vehicle flash through my windows.I took a closer look at the vehicle, ut was a Black SUV that was as dark as the nights' sky. I could see the passenger, I watched him walk out of the car.I moved backwards, fearing that he could be some sort of law enforcement that was coming for me, but then he walks over to my neighbor's house.He was no longer in my range of view, I turned my attention to the SUV itself and I saw the man behind the wheels bending to take a look at my house.They were too suspicious for me to just brush away like that. After a few minutes they leave and finally I take a breath. Max called me, he sounded somewhat mad, as he had been sounding these last few days. He asked that we go to Hans'house and kill him. At least I was going to get out of the house, finally. I grabbed my guns and then shove it into my bag, I walk to my car, taking a good look at
Hans'POVI picked up my cell phone from beside me and I walked to the bedroom.(Warning, host is in critical condition) the system beeped in my head one more time. It has been warning me for the past ten minutes.I felt pain everywhere in my body.“Elio I need your help." I say into the receiver." Your Majesty." Elio said.“Can you hear me?." I asked him. " I can hear you Hans, are you okay?." Elio asked me, there was concern in his voice.“I was shot." I tell him(Host is in critical condition) the system beeped this time more louder.“Where were you shot at?." Elio asked me, I could sense deep worry in his voice and I felt bad for putting it there. “Everywhere." I tell him.“Is there any way you can help me?." I asked him." The bullet wound be stuck inside you by now, I'm looking at your body scan right now on my screen and you're bleeding internally." Elio tells me.“I'm dying." I tell him. " Gosh. Stay put I'll be there now!. " Elio shouts." One thing Elio, please do not
I dig into my purse, I bring my phone from my purse and I dial Hans.“Who are the calling, the police?." Steve asked me.“We'd be very dead before the police gets to us." I tell him. “Then who are you dialling?." Steve inquired.“Hans, I'm calling Hans. If he's really a cosmic god then we're up for a show." I say.“Hello, Amarà." Hans'voice comes through the speaker and washed down me like a cleanser.“Hans we're in trouble. I'm certain that a black Mercedes is following after me." I tell him.He didn't waste any more time, his voice picked on a deeper, rougher sound." Is there any crowded place closest to where you're at now?." He asked me.“Is there a crowded place near here?." I ask both Steve and the driver.“There is an amusement park up ahead." The driver tells me." Yes." I tell Hans.“Where?." He asked me.“The amusement park." I tell him and I looked back to see that the car was still behind us.“Go there, I'm coming." He tells me and the phone goes dead.“What did he say?.
Amarà's POVThe screen in front of me shows Hans in a baby blue hoodie. The image was caught by a security camera and twelve people were staring at it.“The case has been reopened. So you're saying that this guy ran away and went to train in Afghanistan?." My boss asked me.“Yes Mr Cater. He was afraid of returning and when he returned his uncle had already plotted his death and executed it by replacing his body with a similar figure." I tell my boss.He fell backwards into his chair." That rich fool. We got to catch him where he can't have any options but to succumb. He stole trillions of dollars from that kid" Mr Carter mumbled rubbing the tip of his own on the wooden table.Hans was no longer a kid, maybe he was when this whole thing began but his transformation was bizarre. I looked back to the screen.“Word had gone out too fast, now everybody knows that the guy is back, poor guy. We need to prove this case as soon as possible." Mrs Teresa said.She had her hands on her chest,
Max's POVThe phone was ringing but it was the dead of the night. The loud shrill shot me out of sleep and left me confused for a few seconds.“The phone." I mumbled rushing over to the drawer to answer the call.“Hello." I said Into the phone.“Mr Max, we have some news." The voice said.I took the phone away from my ear and I gazed at the screen, I wondered who it was. There was no name. “Who is this?." I asked cautiously " It's the security at your company sir. We are sorry to disturb you but we think that you should be alerted before any one else." The voice said.“What happened?." I asked wondering if it was a matter that needed my attention and if it was not, I was ready to fire the security man for waking me up from sleep.There was a long pause before the man began speaking again.“Sir, I'm sorry to tell you this but we were looking at the security footage and we identified a stranger that came to the company some hours ago as... As the imposter claiming to be your nephew. H
