The Billionaire's Retribution

The New Heir

Marcus was in his room, searching for the perfect clothes to put on, all the suits were super expensive, but he wasn't used to all these things, so was confused on what to wear. They all looked so good that it was hard to choose one.

"Can I come in young master?" Sam's voice was heard, Marcus turned and saw him, he forgot to lock the door, an old habit of his.

"Oh sure, of course" he said, as Sam came in. Sam was already dressed up, he sure was a handsome body built man, donned in a blue suit, it was obviously expensive. He held a briefcase with him.

"The boss asked me to give you this," he said, handing over the case to Marcus.

Marcus dropped it on his bed, then opened the briefcase, it was his black card and a phone, Marcus's attention was drawn by the newly made phone.

"Customized?" He asked as he picked it from the case.

"Affirmative"

The phone was designed in a unique way, the back of the phone was covered with diamonds, real diamonds, it has an iPhone 14 type of camera, it was so beautiful.

"Whoa this looks expensive" Marcus complimented.

"Nothing is too expensive for the Blackwoods young master, this is just a minor thing" Sam said, sounding a little bit stoic.

Marcus then saw the phone's receipt, he took it to check, and it was made from the apple company, he then looked down to check the price, it was $99,000,600.

"Ninty nine million dollars? For just a phone?!" Marcus exclaimed, even if he's now a quadrillionaire he still behaves like his old self, however things are going to change.

"It is the best the company could offer for now, the family has a lot of shares with them also, so it wasn't really paid for" Sam explained.

"Really?" Marcus asked.

"Yes Young Master, you are indirectly the owner of Apple Inc"

Marcus on the phone, and after swiping it open, he was greeted by a feminine computerized voice, he discovered that the phone has a personal AI that could help Marcus operate the phone even without touching it, all he just has to do is say the word.

 He also noticed the phone has a new sim card in it, he checked his contact list and it was totally new contacts, obviously all the essential contacts of his new business partners, including the CEOs and managers, and other shareholders.

"Young Master I noticed you were having problems selecting some outwears, I can help you with that" Sam said.

"Yeah, I was really lost, sure I will appreciate your help"

"We can select the best ones and oder them immediately," Sam suggested.

"Order? What happens to these ones?" Marcus asked, looking surprised, the suits here are already way more expensive, why would they need to order a new one, however Sam explained, this was the way of the Blackwoods, they go for only the best, because they are the top one. Marcus still finds it unnecessary but Sam convinced him, hopefully Marcus will soon adapt to his pattern of life.

They both searched the online market with Sam's phone, and after some minutes they selected two best suits, a black and red, from Kiton K-50 brand, one of the Blackwoods shared company. They also ordered a diamond wrist watch from Patek Philippe, also the family's shareholding company.

 Everything summed around sixty to seventy million dollars. Marcus gasped for breath, all his life he was struggling to make a living, but now he is buying things that are even more expensive than some people's houses.

It took about two hours before the delivery reached them and the party was about to start. Marcus wasn't used to wearing suits, since he had never worn one before, but Sam was there to help him. 

Marcus was done dressing, he then went to look at himself in the mirror. He got confused at first if he was really the one, he really changed, the black suit tightened his manly physique, his black jet hair were neatly combed, giving him a respective appearance, on his left wrist was his diamond watch, he couldn't get his eyes of the mirror, if he was a woman he would definitely fall for the man he was seeing in the mirror. In all Marcus was happy, his life turned around miraculously, how he wished Hannah and her new partner could see him now.

"Are you done young master, the boss just texted me the party has started and all our guests have arrived" Sam informed.

"You can go Sam, I'll meet you downstairs in a minute or two" Marcus replied authoritatively. Sam smiled, he is now behaving like a true Blackwood.

As the clock struck the designated hour, sleek black cars and luxurious vehicles lined the meticulously landscaped driveway. 

A red-carpeted path led to the grand entrance, flanked by opulent fountains casting a mesmerizing glow under the moonlit sky. The guests arrived dressed in tailored suits, elegant gowns, and shimmering dresses, each a representation of prestige and refinement.

The mansion stood regal and imposing, with its grandiose architecture exuding an aura of wealth and power. The entrance hall, adorned with priceless art pieces and intricate chandeliers, welcomed guests into a world of extravagance. 

The air hummed with an amalgamation of poised conversations, laughter, and the clinking of champagne glasses, set against the backdrop of soothing classical music. The scent of delicate perfumes and the savory aroma of delectable canapés wafted through the air, adding to the ambiance of sophistication and luxury. 

Among all the guests Hannah and her new partner Maxwell were also present, at t then means that, Maxwell is just a manager in one of the Blackwoods companies, they both dressed wonderfully, Hannah was glittering in her fancy red gowns, as she danced with the music along with Maxwell.

"I'm pressed horny, I need to use the bathroom, I'll be back" Hannah then said.

"Alright sweety, I'll be waiting" they both shared a shirt kiss before she left.

Richard was also in there, he then took the stage to deliver a speech.

He cleared his throat, "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed shareholders, valued staff, and esteemed managers, welcome to this illustrious gathering." 

He started as the hall became quiet.

"Tonight, in the opulent embrace of this mansion, we stand at the nexus of celebration and accomplishment. We have assembled here not only to revel in the success that collectively binds us but to acknowledge the incredible dedication and vision that has propelled us to new heights."

Everyone then started clapping.

"But the main reason I called for this party is to fully introduce to you the new head of the Blackwoods Conglomerate. The lost but found heir" At this point Marcus was making himself towards the hall, through the stairs, he walked majestically with each step he took.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I officially introduce to you Marcus Blackwood!" He finally gestured towards Marcus's direction, as everyone looked at the incoming Marcus, his presence alone defined his entitlement.

They increased the intensity of their clapping as they cheered excitedly.

Marcus waved before walking to Richard's side. Maxwell was in a state of confusion, that name 'Marcus' sounds familiar and also the face, could it be Hannah's ex husband? No of course not, the Marcus he knew was an ordinary poor cameraman, the Marcus he knew couldn't afford a $20 clothing, there's no way he would be the head of the Blackwoods, and why would Hannah ever leave him, which woman would leave such a wealthy husband for someone else. 

H

owever he wasn't so sure he only met Marcus once, but what if it was really him?
