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 blame you. I blame my sister who agreed to get married to you. I would have killed you if I were to be my sister!”It was not the reply he expected. He wished her a good morning, but she acted cold to him that morning. She then threw a spray polish to Sebatian. “Use that to clean the shoes, you had better hurry if you know what is good for you, you loser.”Jade was exactly like her mother, so slim and beautiful, but rude. She was the accountant in the Nike company, and that morning, there were records she was meant to submit on time at the office.“Loser! Are you still just standing, who the hell is this guy?”Sebastian was still thinking of what to do next, so he picked up the stray polish, and did as he was told. While cleaning the shoes, he heard the sound of a car driving into the compound.After that, he heard the doorbell ring. Juliana, who was all beautifully dressed to go to the company, hurried to check who was at the door.“Hello gorgeous angel, a beautiful morning to you.”It was Brian. “Here I brought you some of the most expensive gifts for you to start your day with.”Brian at the door, presented gifts to Juliana. He gave her flowers, not just any flower but the Juliet rose flower. It was the most expensive rose in the world, worth one million dollars.He also bought her perfume worth seven hundred thousand dollars.Juliana frowned slightly, she didn't forget what Brian did at the anniversary ceremony, and that he was the same reason her grandpa threatened to disown her. Now, he has brought her gifts this early morning.She really didn't want Brian to pursue her anymore, but she had no other option because Brian was willing to help the Nike company from the crisis.“Brian, this is a lot and expensive too.” Juliana could not imagine why Brian spent so much for a gift. “Thank you so much, but—”“Wow! Juliet rose flower?” Jade came outside, interrupting, and could not believe what she saw. “Your useless husband won't even buy you this, so poor.”Sebastian was hearing noises, so he left the cleaning and went to check what was going on.To his surprise, he saw Brian. Sebastian was stunned for a short while. Then his face was filled with bitterness as he asked, “What are you doing here Brian!?”“He's doing what you can never do, showering his wife to be with gifts.” Jade was definitely a pain in Sebatian's neck.Brian looked at Sebatian with a mockery smile on his face, he replied, “Who are you to ask me such? You are nothing in this family and in this life. I am the manager of the most influential company in the city and you have no right to ask me such a question!”The noises became louder, and it made Luis come out to see what really was going on.Immediately, Sebastian snatched the flowers from Juliana, and smashed it on the floor.“Don't accept these from him Juliana, I can buy you thousands of them if you want!”Brian was so annoyed, such expensive gifts, does this live-in son-in-law have a clue of the amount he just threw on the floor?“Buy? Do you just say you'll buy thousands of them? You can't even afford yourself a nice shirt. You're such a disgrace to this family.”Luis was behind, standing in shock, seeing how bold Sebastian was. What's giving Sebastian such boldness lately was what she did not know. Her temper rose suddenly.“You beggar, how mannerless are you that you can't recognize the manager of the most influential company in the city! You smashed a gift you can never even afford.”Sebatian shook his head. The manager of Prime Enterprise, and he's being worshiped like a god, when he can just become the President of the same company in a snap of his fingers.“Now that's enough, now you get lost at this very moment. And never disrespect Brian in your miserable life again or else, I'll send you back to the street Grandma Nike picked you from!” Luis said.Brian narrowed his eyes, he picked his lips unconsciously, picking up the flowers from the floor and handed it back to Juliana. He smiled, “Here you go, lollipop, you deserve every good and expensive gift in this life. And if you don't mind, let me drop you off at the Nike company.”However, Sebatian who was still furiously standing, made another move. He grabbed Juliana's hand gently, and dragged her away from Brian.“Don't join him in his car. If you want a car, I will buy you a better one.”“Stop this Sebatian, why are you saying things you can't do? Stop and let go of me.” Juliana rebuked Sebatian.Jade laughed loudly, and even fell to the floor. She mocked Sebastian saying, “You can't even afford a bicycle, and you want to buy someone a car. Have you been smoking lately? Were you not the one asking for a wheelbarrow during the anniversary ceremony?”“Let go of my daughter's hands this minute you fool.”Juliana freed herself from Sebatian and moved towards Brian to respond to his offer of a ride.“Do not bother yourself Brian, I'll use my car to the office. Thank you”.Brian said calmly, “Juliana, aren't your family company in need of two hundred million dollars? I could help out, you know.“Yes Brian, we really need your help.” Luis said.“Juliana, I know your company really needs the money. So, why don't you just join me in the car, and we talk about it on the way?” Brian continued.“Alright, I will join you.” Juliana took her bag and joined Brian in the car.“Honey, you can't go with him!” Sebastian stared at Brian angrily. His facial expression worsened. “Honey, I can help you with two hundred million dollars.”Brian smiled mockingly at Sebatian. As he opened the door of his Rolls Royce and got into the car immediately.“Get out of the way you beggar.” Luis shoved him away.At the same moment, his Mother-in-law and sister-in-law left with the BMW for the company.After they all left, Sebatian stood at the entrance of the house, with his temper rising. He felt ruined.“How can a mere manager of Prime Enterprise make my wife get into his car, all because of two hundred million dollars? If he can do that, then I'm sure he can make my wife divorce me. Shit!”Sebastian bought out his old phone from the pocket of his torn trouser, as he made a move to rise from his ruins.He dialed his Uncle's number.“Hope the documents are ready, because I'm coming to sign them in the morning, tomorrow.”“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
It was the twenty first hour, and the mood in the Nike family house was darker than the night.Brian seeing how the guards he called to throw Sebatian out of the house were finding it hard to carry out his order, made him furious.He was already looking humiliated in front of the entire family of Nike. 'Why can't these useless guards take this thing out, do they want to humiliate me?’ One of the guards was the security guard who tried to stop Sebatian at the Prime Enterprise gate from entering. The second one was a friend to Sebastian back then when they were on the street together.“Since you two can't carry out my orders given to you, then you are both fired!” Brian was raging.Then out of frustration, Brian went close to Sebastian, and held the top of his shirt. “You loser, I'll make sure I make you pay for this!”He wasn't ready to make Sebatian go free after the humiliation he had just faced from his two personal guards. That moment Brian was sure to make Sebastian pay.“Come on
