It's a message from $BLOCK. Sebastian was caught unaware by the message.
$BLOCK is a cryptocurrency which he invested his funds long ago.Just as he was trying to absorb the news from $BLOCK, his old phone rang yet again. And this time, it was a call, immediately he picked up.“Sir, the Prime Enterprise is in a serious financial crisis. Please we need your help urgently, we beg you to return to the company.”“It's a call from the Primes.” In a second, Sebastian's face was squeezed.The most influential family in Lanchester as they were obliged to remain so, the Primes.Sebastian, once upon a time, was an heir of the Prime family, but he was wrongly accused as the General manager of Prime Enterprises of embezzling the company's funds. For this reason, he was disowned and sent away by the Prime family.The Prime Enterprise was never to consider and reconsider him as one of the Prime Enterprise anymore.“What boldness for you to think I have such financial power to help the company. What makes you believe I have money?”As the call was still on, Sebastian's uncle, Williams Prime, got hold of the phone.“Sebastian, I know we have wronged you, but we ask that you please help us. Please help us out of this financial crisis! We know you invested in the cryptocurrency, $BLOCK, we just got a message from them on the system in the company you used to register and invest. We also know that $BLOCK made you a hundred percent return in the cryptocurrency market.”Williams Prime was right, when Sebastian was with Prime Enterprise, he reluctantly used some million dollars he got then to invest in the currency. This was the reason Sebatian was wrongly accused of embezzling the company's funds. Which made the family disowned him.Later, the cryptocurrency pumped, making Sebastian a multi-trillionaire. The company couldn't access the funds because the investment was registered under Sebastian's name.Sebastian hung up the phone and went through the cryptocurrency market on his phone to know how much $BLOCK has made for him.He calmly scrolled through and saw the amount in his wallet. He then burst into laughter. From the blink of despair, sudden elation! Some millions of dollars which he reluctantly invested have made him a lot of money. He is of course a multi-trillionaire now!In a short while, his phone rang yet again. And without hesitation, he picked up the call.“Sebastian, please I beg you, don't ignore us now, the company will fall if this crisis continues.”“How could I help the Company? You all sent me away, the same company said I stole. And besides, I was disowned.”Sebastian wasn't willing to help the company because of the past deeds he had with Prime Enterprise.Williams Prime understood his nephew's pain, but the company really needed the money.“I beg you forgive us Sebastian, and come back to the company. Because now, the company's funding has been cut off, and we really need your help.”“Fine! But I will only help the company if I become the President of the company.”The President of Prime Enterprise? That was a lot. The priority was to convince Sebastian to help the company from crisis, but now, this?At first, there was a long pause from Williams Prime. Then, he said, “Alright, when you're ready, you can come sign the agreement and the presidential documents.”It wasn't that difficult for both parties to strike an oral agreement immediately. For the Prime Enterprise, they found salvation. And for Sebastian, he found redemption.***Sebastian got home finally, but when he reached, Juliana was already home, she drove.Juliana came back with Cindy, and one of her friends, Sarah Francis, from the anniversary ceremony. Sarah was also a staff member at the Nike company. They were looking so beautiful, and sexy with their charming dresses. But to Sebastian, Juliana was more beautiful.They were having a discussion about the Nike Company, and when Sebastian walked into the living room, there was a little pause.Cindy looked at Sebastian walking in and hissed. She then said to Sebastian, “Hey loser, since you're finally back, you had better start arranging the dining, because the rest of the family are coming down here for dinner!”It was a normal routine for Sebatian, that he did everything he was asked to do at home, and this was not different.Other times, Sebatian did chores in the house with a sad heart, but this time, he was doing them with cacophonies joy in his heart.It was dinner time, and all the family were seated. But during dinner, there was a worrisome discussion.Senior Nike, feeling unhappy, said, “Celebrating the company's anniversary didn't change the fact that the company needs two hundred million dollars to come out of its crisis.”“Grandpa, something needs to be done fast, because things will soon be out of hand if we don't.”“Yes that's true, have we spoken to anyone for help, or are there any plans to get a loan?”“Yes we have, we have someone who is willing to help us.” Senior Nike replied.At that moment, Sebastian was anxious, and said to his wife seriously, “Dear, if your company is in need of two hundred million dollars, I can help you resolve it. Why don't you let me?A sort of mockery laughter came out of Cindy. Clapping her hands together, she said, “Are you out of your mind? Do you even realize what you're saying, or does your wife give you so much pocket money that you have saved up to two hundred million dollars? I thought you were only a loser, so you can make jokes too?”“Juliana, what have you got as a husband, a clown? Does he even know what two hundred million dollars is?” Jade smiles faintly. In fact, everybody that was present could not help, but be amused.Sebatian lips curve in a sneer, “And what if I really can help the company with two hundred million dollars?”Jade derided Sebastian, “My dad is late, so if you can, I'll call you dad! You better keep quiet or you'll be beaten up.” She burst into laughter.“Promises are meant to be fulfilled, you know?” Sebastian replied. “You just made a promise, don't break it later.”Romy saw Sebatian as a nuisance, which made him warn Sebastian, “Shut your mouth, and keep your empty words to yourself Sebastian, or else you want me to shut it up for you.”“Stop it Sebatian!” Juliana said in a very high tone. “Stop joking, that's more than enough.Luis' eyes were filled with rage, she gave Sebastian a very mean look and said, “How dare you beggar? Listen now, Brian is willing to help us out of this crisis only if you will accept to divorce my daughter. You're so useless and a nonsense to us, sign the divorce papers and leave our life, so Juliana will marry Brian who is responsible and useful.”On hearing this, Sebastian was stunned for a short while. He didn't expect Brian to make such an offer, and his Mother-in-law to accept it without his consent. At that moment, he could only shake his head and said, “Brian won't have my wife.”Juliana was not having it too. Her facial expression became worse, and her unhappiness was proven when she said, “Nobody will force me to marry Brian!”Senior Nike then rose from his seat, and like a principled mark man, he said coldly, “Then I'll disown you and never admit you're my granddaughter, if you're still a wife to this poor rat. The company is in dire need, and only Brian can help us!”That night after dinner, Sebastian was lying in the store room, but could not sleep. He was not pleased that the Nike family was willing and ready to give Juliana to Brian. Totally ignoring him as the husband.Then again, the thoughts of him suddenly becoming a multi-trillionaire came. This made him so excited.“Wow, so it's not a dream after all?” He asked himself while patting his face slightly. “I wish Grandma Nike was still alive to rejoice with me.”He managed to get some sleep that night. The next day, Sebastian was cleaning the house that early morning.“Sebastian, why the hell have you not cleaned mom's shoes and my shoes yet?” Sebastian was downstairs when he heard a voice from the top floor. It Sounded like his wife's voice. He paused what he was doing at that moment, and looked up to see who it was. It was Jade.“Hey sister, good morning. Did you sleep well?” Sebastian shared his morning pleasantries.“Did you just call me your sister? You this poor thing, I don't even blam
“Oh, thanks to our creator. I was thinking you've changed your mind.”“I will make sure the documents are set for tomorrow, we'll meet at the Prime family house so you can sign them.”Sebastian couldn't utter another word on the phone, because of how angry he still was. So after his uncle told him where to meet, he hung up the phone.The wedding day of Brian male cousin was near, and Brian gave an invitation to Senior Nike when he dropped off Juliana at company. He invited the Nike family, and some of the staff members too.At the Prime Enterprise, he invited Williams Prime and some of his colleagues as well.Looking at the invitation card given to him, Williams Prime smiled and said, “I will try to honor the invitation, you have my word.”“Thank you so much sir.” Brian bowed and left Williams Prime office.Later that day, the news of the wedding was already known in the city. Brian's status made it possible to go viral. The Nike family were preparing themselves to attend.***The nex
Sebastian hurried home as he was not only hastening his feet but also running to avoid being late.He finally got home, and as soon as he opened the entrance door of the house, he met Juliana. She was beautifully dressed, with her dazzling body shape.Sebastian was all lost as he gazed helplessly at his beautiful wife. He was stunned for some moment, thinking about how his wife becomes more beautiful every day.“Sebatian, what are you standing there looking at? Where have you been? We are almost running late.”Sebastian got back to his lost self, swinging his hands like he was looking for something. He stammered, “I went to get… I went to the other street to—”“What is wrong with you Sebastian? Go get prepared, or we'll be late.” Juliana interrupted as she wasn't even prepared for Sebatian's explanation.She wouldn't have even bothered going with Sebastian to the wedding if it wasn't for Cindy and Romy. They would have definitely mocked her for marrying someone she can't go out with.
“Who the hell are you to counter my orders? I am the manager of Prime Enterprise. Who are you?!”Brian was raging already, he couldn't see who it was that countered his order because the person was seated in front of the big hall.A man was walking towards the direction of where Brian was. Vivian quickly recognized the man and tried to warn Brian, but when she saw how Brian was so annoyed, she said nothing.When the man got closer to Brian, he removed the black shade he wore and Brian was able to truly recognize him.Brian was shivering as he broke out in a cold sweat, his sweat dripping, he said, “Chief.. Chief Prime, were you the one? I'm so sorry, Chief Prime, I honestly did not know.”It was Williams Prime. Brian did not come that early to the venue to realize that Williams Prime was already in the hall before him, seated in front.“Brian, were you actually questioning me?” Williams asked for clarity, even when he knew Brian wouldn't dare to.“No sir, I wouldn't dare to do that.”
From the banks of the Lanchester river to the Lanchester city main gate, the atmosphere that morning was so cold.Sebastian was awake early enough to carry out his normal morning chores.Every member of the Nike family was preparing to go to the company, although Senior Nike had already left.Sebatian, who was in the store room, was also getting ready to go to the Prime Company, which was located at the east road in Lanchester city.Williams Prime called him last night, and said he won't be coming that early in the morning to company due to some engagements. But will make sure the general secretary, Abigail Nelson, will be available early enough to show him anything he wants to see about the Company.Soon, all members of the Nike family left for the Nike company. After some time, Sebatian left also for Prime company.***On getting to the Prime Enterprise, Sebatian stood in awe as he stared at the skyscraper in front of him. The last time he was here, the building was incomplete. Now,
Vivian was standing, looking stunned in front of Sebatian and Abigail in the office of the President. She then felt so ashamed of herself.“I'm sorry, I'm sorry..” Vivian said as he got out from shock, and got back to herself. She picked up the file she dropped on the floor.The General Secretary ignored her, and took the file from her hands. She took out the investment plans from the file, putting them in front of Sebastian, she said, “My President, these are the plans for this year's investment. Every company and the total amount of investments is there.”The investment plans were made up of potential investment that other companies are willing to stake. Every year, companies in Lanchester, including the Nike company, invests in Prime Enterprises, for future returns.The year was different because Prime Enterprise kept the plans on hold because of the crisis, in order not to disappoint those companies in their yearly returns. But now, the crisis is over.Sebastian looked through the
“Huh, why are you all just forcing me?” Juliana had to voice out. “I said it last time that I'll think about it.”Grandpa Nike became disgusted with his grand daughter's hesitation. He said coldly, “What are you trying to do? The earlier you accept Brian, the better for you! The useless husband you have now has nothing to offer you.”Grandpa Nike was not having it, he was determined to persuade his granddaughter to marry Brian, just for the good of the company and the family.“Look here my daughter, I'm your mother and I know what is best for you. Don't toss aside a bright future all because of indecision.”“Cousin, this kind of love Brian is willing to give to you is so enviable. Your penniless husband can't even afford to offer you such love.”The pressure from the family members was still coming, as Juliana became so uncomfortable with their lack of understanding, and felt worse in her heart at the moment. In front of her family, she's a pain to them again.In the moment, Sebastian
“You?” Brian was dumbfounded at first. He then placed his hands on his head in amusement.It was another reason for everyone present to be in silence at that very moment. They all stared at Sebastian with amazement.This live-in son-in-law just spoke with absolute certainty. Could it be that he's indeed the President of Prime Enterprise?Grandpa Nike wasn't ready to even think about the pronouncement Sebatian just made. He didn't believe him. He smiled and said disenchantedly, “The so-called husband to my granddaughter, has gone totally insane.”The moment Grandpa Nike said that, Romy, Jade and Cindy broke into laughter. They gave Sebatian a look of them being highly flabbergasted by what he just said.“You're nothing but a poor thing who is a live-in son-in-law. How dare you use Prime Enterprise to elevate your status?”“What in the world did my sister marry? I mean, this guy is a clown.” “Do you really think the Nike family are joking here, or do we look like a joke to you?”“Sebas
