They drove all the way to the Villa. The convoy attracted public eyes, and Alaric could witness it from inside the car. It was the first time in his life he felt like he was on top of the world.

"How long is it going to take?" He asked Steve, who was seated in the passenger's.

"It's a long drive, Master. It will take about an hour before we reach. The Villa is very far away," he explained.

Why build a mansion, and a Villa? Alaric asked himself questions to which he didn't have an answer.

It was a long drive. An hour in the car was making him feel a little bit sick, and the anxiety running through him made it worse.

He now wanted to see his family so badly. He wanted to see what they were like and wanted the wait to be over so quickly. The car halted, as other cars on the lane did too.

"We have arrived," Steve said.

Alaric felt his stomach drop. Suddenly, he was feeling nauseous. Maybe it was too much of a bundle of joy, that it made his stomach jitter.

Steve stepped out of th

    "It happened when you were five years old. A very bad situation came up and I had to abandon you. I felt like my life was going to be over, and I considered you a burden," his mother, Mrs. Wright explained to him, in hot tears. "You had to leave me back then, right?" He asked his mother. "I'm sorry son. It is a big pity to admit it, but I had to leave you back then. It was for my betterment. I felt like being with you would cause danger to both myself and our family, and I prioritized that. I didn't want our family to fall apart, and I had to lose you in the process," she explained, weeping bitterly. Tears in Alaric's eyes spilled on the ground, forcing their way out when he tried to choke them back and keep them in. "I'm so sorry I was a disaster to you, Mom. I regret everything, and I know that you did it for the betterment of our family." "No dear, you shouldn't be sorry for anything. Never regret why you were born to us, because you are a meaningful addition to our lives. You

    "You can all be on your feet," Alaric commanded, and the men instantly stood up."From now on, Caroline's guards will not be the ones protecting you. You will have your own security all by yourself, and he will be the general commander of them all.""But Mom…" he paused, unsure of how it would sound. "Do I really need all these guards?" He asked her. There was a surprised look on Caroline's face, as well as Steve's and Daniel's."What do you mean by that, Son? You will be the CEO of the Wright Empire. You definitely need guards. You should know that this is the biggest Empire in all of Sacramento," his mother said, astonished."I'm not sure I need them. I don't also want to be in a corporate dress or the time, or having my face appear on the papers," he said."Why is that, son? It is almost inevitable, and more difficult since you will be the face of our entire firms and industries. You will carry the entire company on your back, and be responsible for the empire. It is nearly imposs

    Strong rays of light hit Alaric's eyes, and he was forced to flutter them open. As soon as he saw daylight, he smiled. One thought came to his mind. Today was D-Day. The day he would finally ascend his throne. As if it was a year away from yesterday, he had waited so long for this moment. He picked up his phone. There was a message from Steve already, which read: 'Good morning young master. Still asleep? There's an important event today, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss it because you're the spotlight.' It was a big mistake giving his PA his private number. He groaned. He made sure to prepare quickly and stumbled across several pairs of suits. He didn't know which one to go for, but then, he made his choice. He wore a blue suit, with a tie hanging around his neck, giving him a smart and corporate look. Wearing his sapphire studded wristwatch, it matched his outfit and wore nice shades to match. He walked out of the room. The first thing he saw was his personal assist

    Alaric walked up to the auditorium to meet his mother, who received him warmly."I hereby officially announce Alaric Wright as the CEO of Wright Empire, under all agreements and terms, and consideration. Also making this big announcement, as the heir and son of the Wright family, he is to rule the company from now on as its Chief Operator. Also, submitting all required documents, it is my joy to officially resign here," Mrs. Wright said. Alaric smiled but was nervous as he looked at the confused faces of the people beneath. It took a while before a deafening applause stormed the entire room. He smiled, and his mother turned to him."Give a little speech dear. Tell the whole world how you are feeling right now," she said. He was feeling anxious but he knew that he had to say something, or else it would be a big mess. He cleared his throat and adjusted his shades."It's a big responsibility that comes with the higher levels in life, and it is the same thing I am assuming now," he beg

    On the other end, Sasha was watching the news, fondling her phone in her hand, while waiting for Alaric to text back. "It is a big and worthy celebration here at the Wright Empire, as the Board of Directors, and the entire companies constituting the conglomerate heard the shocking announcement of the new CEO of the Wright Empire," the news read."What?" Sasha gasped in shock. "Come over Norton. Come and see the news. The biggest conglomerate in all of California has crowned her new CEO," she called out to Norton."What, honey?" He asked, grumbling, as he walked into the sitting room. He stared at the TV screen in shock, before sitting down next to Sasha."Who is the new CEO? Maybe he must be filthy rich," he inquired."I don't know. The news has not said it yet. I'm sure it must be the biggest shareholder in the company with billions of dollars of assets because that company is definitely on another level. My father tried having a share in the company's stock but was too poor for it,

    Alaric returned to the venue, smoothening his suit. His mother walked up to him immediately, and smiled at him, cupping his cheeks."We did it, son. I finally said it. You're finally going to be the CEO," she said, excitedly."Yes, Mom. I am finally the CEO!" He said, ecstatically. After the occasion went by in a blur, he took a tour around the place, alongside his mother who accompanied him, and Steve. "Thanks, Mom for earlier. I'll make sure to handle business well. But there's somewhere I actually have a problem," he stated. After the Her eyes immediately glowed with concern. "What is that, son? I will put you through," she said."How much exactly do I have to control? How much is our Empire worth?" He asked."Young Master…""No. I really want to know," he cut Steve. "Already received $100 billion, and hundreds of millions too.""Yes, son. You are our heir, which means that you do have some assets in your name. Also, monetary funds of half a trillion are in your name.""What w

    "I think it's enough for the day. You can have a rest for today," Mrs Wright said, as the night was drawing close."It's still a very long journey. I really wanted to have a nice tour of every single place, but then, since you insist, I will leave. Maybe I can continue tomorrow.""Take your time. Usually, after the processing of legal documents, it is a week to assume office, so you have all the time," she assured. He nodded and turned to Steve."Young Master, it's past work hours. By my watch, it says it's almost 7 o 'clock.""Oh, yeah. We should leave. But how about you Mom? Where are you going to stay?" He asked, concerned."Don't worry about me, son. My entourage will be here to take me to the Villa. You should also come, right?""No," Alaric declined. "I don't want to go to the villa," he said."Why? We can stay together," his mother protested."I want to stay at a hotel for tonight. The Villa is far away from here. We can Lodge at a hotel nearby. You should also come with us, M

    A strong beam of light shot into the room's Venetian blind, and Alaric fluttered his eyes open. The entire night was splendid, and he wondered if he had ever received this kind of treatment in his life. There was a reason this hotel was called one of the best in the city, and he figured that out last night. Ranging from the comfy bed and sofa to special and VIP treatments, everything was mesmerizing. His heart thudded as he received an unexpected buzz from the ding of his phone. He picked up his phone and looked at what it was. There were several messages from Kimberly. Maybe she was worried about him. He opened the messages, and she inquired about his sudden disappearance at the party. He decided to call her."Hello Kimberly, good morning," he spoke, clearing his throat. He heard some inaudible sounds over the phone before she was finally able to speak."Good morning, Alaric. It's a very good thing you called. I was almost losing hope that you would see my message and reply," s

    Evelyn was working in the office when suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up to see who was calling, and it was Mr. Steve. “Good day, Mr. Steve. Can I know why you are calling me? I am currently doing something at the office,” she said. “You need to come here right now, Miss Evelyn. Someone wants to see you, and she requests that you be here soon,” he said. “What? Who wants to see me?” She asked. “Someone in the household wants to meet with you.” “I don't really know if I have the chance to come because I have a lot of things to do right now, Mr. Steve. Can this meeting be scheduled later?” She asked. “It is not a business meeting, Miss Evelyn. In case you didn't hear me, I said that someone from the household wants to see you.” “The household? What do you mean by that, Mr. Steve?” She asked. “The mansion of the Wright family,” Mr. Steve said. “Really? A member of the mansion wants to see me?” She asked. “Yes. Come quickly, it's urgent.

    "And your last wish?” Norton bowed his head, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes. “My last wish…”“Yes. Tell me.”“Please, forgive me. This is my last wish.” Alaric was surprised.“What?”“Yes, young master. That is my last wish. If you can grant me these three wishes, then I don't care if I die. I will live without regrets. I just want to make sure that my mother is okay, but if I have the forgiveness of the woman I love, and that of yours, then I am satisfied,” he said. Lucas was just staring at what was going on without saying a word.“So you want me to go and give your mother money?”“No, young master. Support her in any way you can is all I ask. Please,” he said.“Consider your last wish granted. I forgive you, Norton. I have already forgiven you a long time ago. I just wanted you to learn your lessons and end it all by putting you in prison,” he said.“Thank you for this, Alaric.

I worked at the company of your long-term rival, remember? My salary can feed your family for months,” Lucas said.“I can't believe that you still have the guts to boast even when you are in the police station, behind bars. What the hell is wrong with you?

This is such great news and it's overwhelming,” Norton said, rushing down the stairs to meet his father and his mother who were in the living room. Mr. Jefferson turned around. “Really? Have our investors come back?”“Yes, Dad. Look at this, Mr. Peter said that he wants to give us a second chance and that we should not fail him this time. They want to invest in the company so that we can use the amount to produce and make a profit,” Norton explained.“That is very good news, son. You are doing a very good job when it comes to handling the company. This calls for a big celebration,” Mr. Jefferson said.“Dad, relax.

I am Inspector David Williams, the police officer who is in charge of the case in your company. I have two other police officers with me today, and an investigator,” he said, pointing at each one of them.“Good day, sir. I am Investigator Adam Phil,” he said, extending his hands. Alaric shook hands with the police officers.“It's good to see you all today. Our legal department reported a case and I'm happy that it's being looked upon,” he said.“Don't worry Mr Alaric.

    The car pulled up at a cafe, and Evelyn wondered to herself why they had been at a cafe earlier and just arrived at another one“Is today all about drinking coffee?” She asked.“Funny joke, but no. It just happens to be my favorite venue for a meeting,” he said, as he stepped out. He went inside the cafe, and sat down, taking a table. One of the workers immediately walked up to him.“What can I get for you, sir? And your wife, ma'am?” He asked, looking at Alaric and Evelyn.“What?” Evelyn said in shock. “Wife? I'm not his wife.”“Don't mind her. She's going to be my future wife, but you know how shy women are. She's in the one I'm actually taking on a treat today. Wait a little while, the main character is coming,” he said. Evelyn, pissed by what Alaric was doing, began to mutter to herself.“Main character huh? Which means I am an ordinary character in this story. Well done, sir, for degrading me.” Alaric, seeing that she was beginning to get angry, smiled. “You know that you will

    “Mr Donaldson told me himself that he was ready to take whatever penalty of his actions there was. He told me that if I wanted to kill him, his hands were wide open waiting for me. If the police would come, he would be at his house.”“So what do you want to do to him?”“He's the only one safe, father. He decided to turn from his evil ways and expose the truth. He didn't have anything personally against, and since you said none of them ever had an attack against the Wright empire, then, he is okay.”“And Mr. Tate?” He asked.“He might be the hardest to penetrate, but I will definitely find something against him,” Alaric said, his head immediately thinking of Kimberly. “Did he do anything to you?” Mr. Wright asked. Alaric was hesitant to answer the question, but he shook his head. “Nothing to the company, but to me, yes, father,” he said.“Then, what do you plan on doing to these people as a method of revenge?” Mr. Wright asked.“I want to put an end to all of them.

It’s just that I need your help for answers because I have questions that are disturbing my peace,” he said. Mr. Wright raised a brow. “Really? Then tell me, son,” he said. “Come have a seat,” he offered, pointing at the seat across his. Alaric sat down and looked at his father.“First, Dad, before we begin, I want you to promise me something,” he said.“What is that, son?”“I want you to promise me that you will tell me the truth no matter what,” he said. The question made Mr. Wright feel worried that something was wrong. “Son, are you sure everything is alright?” Mr. Wright asked again to be sure.“I am perfectly fine, father.

    Evelyn, surprised by how he was able to guess every single thing that was happening to her, tried to hide her shocked expression. “H… how?”“Don't worry, Evelyn. I told you that I would make sure you realize your love for me, and this is just the first step towards it. Look how you were able to calm me down without even doing much. That is the effect of your presence in my life,” he said. Tapping on the button that winded down the windows, he snapped his finger at the guard outside. He entered the car and ignited the engine.“Take me to the mansion. I want to see my father,” he commanded, and the guard nodded. Meanwhile, Evelyn, who hadn't said a word, rested a finger on her lips as she reminisced the feeling of Alaric's kiss that sent jolts of electricity throughout her body. The car drove to the mansion as Alaric had commanded. Evelyn was a little bit worried that he didn't decide to drop her off at the office, and she wondered why he was taking her with him.“Young master,” sh
