Steve leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "The Williams family is a great family. They don't have a monarchial lineage like the Wrights, but they are pretty wealthy. They are involved in fashion and design, and they also have sub-brands under their name. They once wanted to work with the Wright Empire, but they were declined the opportunity by us.""Why?" Alaric asked."I don't know. All the reasons for that su known to the boss and madam. I am only an assistant, and I don't handle personal matters relating to business deals and cooperations, or internal prospects of the company's finance and wealth.""But you know a lot. Isn't there any way you figured out the reason?""There could be a wide range of reasons. The boss is a highly demanding man, and he must have not agreed because he knew that they weren't good enough. It was a long time ago. Maybe they weren't just up to the standards at that time, and so they were rejected. We only have business deals with internati
Alaric's heart raced as he clutched the phone tightly in his trembling hands, his voice a desperate plea. "Sasha! Sasha!" he shouted, his tone filled with worry and fear. The line crackled with static, heightening his anxiety. "Are you there? What happened?"Silence hung in the air for what felt like an eternity until a weak, distant voice finally responded. "Alaric... help me," Sasha's voice came through, her words laced with pain and uncertainty. "I...I've been in an accident."Alaric's breath hitched, his mind spinning with a whirlwind of emotions."What?! How did that happen?!" He asked, desperate, and agitated. "Young master, is anything wrong?" Steve asked, looking worried."Just hang on there. Make sure you don't move. Hand on there and wait for me, Sasha! Don't move," he yelled."Young Master, has there been an accident? Do we need to go there right now?" Steve asked, with urgency full in his words. Alaric turned to Steve. "There is no need for all of us to go there. Give m
Alaric was a bit afraid to turn around. He tried to think of an excuse quickly. He didn't expect that Norton would be in the hospital, and now if his identity was exposed, everything would be destroyed. He turned around slowly, trying to come to terms with the moment, and he processed a lie as quickly as possible. Turning around, he was shocked at what he saw. The figure of a 6 ft mid-40s man standing behind him. It was Steve. He couldn't believe his eyes."What are you doing in this hospital, young master?" Steve asked, with worries flitting across his eyes."Steve? It's you?" Alaric's voice was filled with surprise, and he heaved a deep sigh. That was a close one. Maybe he didn't hear the voice properly, so he didn't have anything to worry about."Yes, young master. I couldn't allow you to go alone, and I had to make sure to follow you," Steve said, expressing his worry."I knew you were following me, but I wondered where you disappeared all of a sudden, and I thought you were so
Alaric thought deeply about it, and there was only one idea that popped up in his mind. You had to find a way to get Norton's number. Maybe Sasha's phone would have Norton's number. "Young master, what do we do now?" Steve asked him, noticing the weird expression on Alaric's face. He wasn't stable, and his mind was flooded with so many thoughts. "I don't know. I only know that she has a boyfriend named Norton, and I don't know how to reach out to him," he said. "Norton? That sounds like the name of Mr. Jefferson's second son. Is he the son of Mr. Jefferson whom you are meeting within two days?" Steve asked Alaric. Alaric didn't want to expose the whole truth, but it seems like the truth would come to light sooner or later. This was a very tough situation, and anything could go wrong if he didn't do anything about it. "I think I know the way," Alaric said, turning to look at Steve. "Steve, go outside and meet with the guards. Make sure that they do not come here. I want to go se
A sigh escaped Alaric as they drove off the hospital and traveled down straight to his family Villa. He didn't want to leave Sasha alone, but he had no choice but to do it. If anyone recognized his face and saw him with this massive escort, then they would begin suspecting. His identity shouldn't be revealed yet. He stepped out of the car as the car halted in front of the villa, and several others piled behind it. "Young master, don't worry. I will make sure that Miss Sasha is alright. Nothing will happen to her," Steve said, as Alaric stepped out of the car. Alaric ignored him and stepped straight into the Villa. He wasn't feeling pleased with himself, and he was tense by what happened. If Sasha died, then he wouldn't forgive himself. He stepped into the elevator and turned to Steve. "Is my mother home yet?" He asked Steve, who nodded. "Yes, young master. I got word that the madam has returned home," he replied. Alaric sighed. "Alright," he replied. "Press the button to th
"What do you mean son? What are you trying to tell us?" Mrs. Wright asked, so keen on what he was about to say. "I'm sure you are aware of the poor life I used to live. I was derogated and insulted because of it, and I missed so many opportunities because I was considered weak among the people who surrounded me." "Did they treat you badly? You can talk to me about it. I will make sure to find them and their families and speak to them," Mrs Wright suggested. "No Mom. That is not what I want to happen. I don't want you to do anything to them. I just want them to realize that they have made a mistake, and I'm sure they will do that by themselves. I know that they will definitely turn from their bad ways and do good." "How sure are you about that, Alaric? I don't want you to feel bad because of the people who made your life difficult in the past." "There is no need for it, Mom. I will have to do everything my way. I'm sure that they will change for good," Alaric said. "Why are you su
"I believe in you, son. I know that whatever you want to do has a reason for it, and I know that you wouldn't do anything wrong," Mrs. Wright said, smiling at Alaric. He nodded and smiled in a retort. "Thanks for having faith in and trusting me Mom. I will never forget what you have done for me. This family changed my life and you showered me with love. I will never regret coming into this family." "It's also a good thing for us that we have you in our lives, son. I'm sure that you will be the one to uphold our reputation in high regard I have strong faith and confidence in you," she said. Alaric nodded, and they talked about a few more things. " Anyways, did you meet with the members of the Board today?" His mother suddenly asked. "Yes," he said and nodded. His eyes darted to the outside. "I met with them. They were very kind people and they had very great reputations as you had told me. Also, I didn't face any problems and I was able to catch up quickly. There was no commotio
Alaric stepped out of the elevator. His eyes were fixated on the bright chandeliers hanging on the ceiling. For some reason, he wasn't used to it. He still wondered how everything could change so quickly. Steve walked behind him. He turned to Steve. "The Villa I purchased, is it ready for occupancy?" He asked. Steve shook his head. "No, Young Master. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a little more time. It usually takes three to five days for a purchased apartment to be vacant for occupancy. The house you purchased is still undergoing some final touches. It should be ready in a few days, and it shouldn't be a problem afterward. Forgive me, young master." "Oh, no problem," he replied. The anticipation of moving into his own personal haven had been building within him for many days. "How about the supercar I purchased? Is it ready?" "No, young master. I have completed the payment as you asked me to, but then, it should take a while before it is ready," Steve said, sighing
