"Remember this Alaric. You are rich now, and you have to pay respect to your family. I'll send you the address, and you will have to meet them. Both your mother and father are classical trillionaires, and you have to pay your respect to them as their son. You will have to meet them and thank them for what they have done, and you must make sure to never forget their kindness," his father explained. He nodded his head.
"Yes, Father. I'll do that," he said, still not believing how such a miracle could happen.
When was wishing that his life would end, a kind of unexpected miracle surfaced before him and made a huge impact on his life. He couldn't believe that his life would change in just a matter of minutes.
He rolled his eyes everywhere in the room. It looked like gunk in here, a small bubble, but his eyes saw gold.
Everywhere was covered in gold in his eyes, and it seemed that the shock was affecting him so much.
"You'll receive a package soon. I sent it. It is to represent your family. You have to carry it wherever you go and make sure you have it intact. It is to represent your family since it is a prestigious one," Aleric's father said, sounding so serious.
It was finally time to get rid of the poverty that he swam in all this while, and it was time to be rich, Alaric thought. He would make sure to take action and make the people who hurt him pay, and they were going to see that he was nothing like before.
He clicked his tongue and paced around the room in anticipation. While ecstasy was buzzing in him, anxiety was coursing through his veins. Hearing a knock on the door, he quickly went to the door to open it. Reaching there, he paused and breathed heavily.
He was going to receive something that was representing his prestigious family, something that he never thought would even be true. But it is happening now.
He opened the door and met a uniformed man, who smiled at him, upon seeing his face. Alaric smiled back, wondering why he owed the delivery guy such an embrace.
"Are you Mr. Alaric Wright, son of the prestigious Wright family?" The man, in a soft tone, asked. Alaric didn't know how to respond. He thought that this was just going to be an ordinary delivery, but it seemed that he had underestimated the royalty of his family so much.
He wondered what it would be like knowing them. What it would feel like to get back the things he lost.
"I am Alaric Drones," he said, wanting to bear his birth name before he was considered a part of a grand family. It would feel awkward bearing their name before he even got to see them or know them.
Though he had 100 billion dollars in his account sent to him, he considered it a gift and not an inheritance. For him, he wasn't worth it.
"Well, Mr. Alaric, I am Simon, the Chief messenger of the Wright family, and with me is an epitome of honor, a sign of dignity. As a member of the Wrights, you have to accept it, I plead," he said, putting the package stretched out, and genuflecting before him.
He was short of words. How could he deserve so much respect? How was this even possible?
"Please, gentleman, I know that you're so much older than I am, and I beg you to stand up. I don't even deserve this," he claimed, so astonished by the whole situation.
"Young master, please accept this symbol of the Wrights as their son and only heir of the family," he repeated.
Alaric was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. He just stared at the man, and slowly, brought out his hands to receive the gift. The gentleman arose after Alaric received the gift.
"Please take it young master, and make sure that you have it on you all the time. You have to make sure to take it, and every one with practiced eyes would see and know that you're the sole heir of the Wright family," he told Alaric.
Alaric nodded, and his eyes twitched, in shock of what he was witnessing. It was all happening like magic, and he never expected a day like this to come.
First, he was shattered, and then, an unexpected miracle showered upon his life. He was a billionaire, and now, he had to accept being the sole monarchical heir of the Wright family. A family of honor.
He couldn't wait.
"Young master will see the Matriarch, Mr.s. Wright, your mother, since the sir of the house is overseas for some business deals," he said.
"When will I see my parents, and how do they know that they've chosen the right person as their son?" He asked, a hint of confusion so apparent on his face.
"I'm sorry little master, however these questions are beyond my knowledge. I am not permitted to slip it out of my mouth even if I was aware of the answers to your question. I will come in three days' time, and you will see them. Have a nice day, master," he said.
With that, he turned around and left. Alaric watched as he proceeded out to the luxurious limo parked before his house. Even the messenger was riding in a luxurious car.
Mesmerizing.
He turned around, shutting the door closely behind him. Going over to his bed, he slumped on it with the package.
The designed heading of the box read: 'to the incredible young master of the Wright household.'
He unboxed the packaged, which was so protected by several other forms of merchandising packages and fancy stuff. Getting a hold of the main box, he held it up to his face, and his heart raced suddenly.
He was anxious about what it would be. He slowly opened it, and was shocked to see what it was.
A ring plated with gold and 18 carat diamonds on the bezels, he stared at it wide-eyed and in shock. He couldn't believe his eyes. He tried to calm down, but each time he did, it was ruined by the sudden outburst of shock in him.
Panting heavily, he took the ring and attempted sliding it into his finger when a notification dinged on his phone.
Pocketing the ring, he picked his phone up, and saw the message. It was from Kimberly, the college princess who was very kind towards him, besides his ex girlfriend Sasha. They were the only two people who accepted Alaric, and now that one of them had betrayed him, he was going to shower the other with his appreciation.
"Kimberly is holding a birthday party? I must make sure I get her a good gift," he declared.
It was time to fire back at those people who didn't truly love him, and betrayed him, and make sure to pay back good to the ones who really loved him for who he was. Now he was rich and could do whatever with his money, it was time to show them what it felt like.
A life of the legacy at the top.
Alaric stood up from the bed and cleared whatever it was that was there. Making sure he kept everything in place, he walked out of his house to a shop to buy her a gift. Kimberly deserved one. Despite being so popular in the school, she never despised him because he was poor, rather she took him like a brother and friend and was always there to stand up for him whenever Sasha wasn't there for him, even though it cost her a good reputation. She did it anyway. His eyes scanned through the series of shops that sold jewelry, but he had to make a choice. He passed through some choices, scanning from the outside what they had on the counter, and wasn't pleased with this. He had to keep looking. Finally, he located one. Stepping inside the shop with strong confidence oozing off him, he waved at the salesperson and saleswoman in charge. The woman wasn't in any way familiar with his status, since he was dressed a little too rugged. "Hello young man, how may I help you?" The saleswom
"What? You? Sore loser?" Norton taunted, scoffing. Sasha's eyes were filled with shock, and it was so apparent that she wasn't expecting this. It was something of a big shock. What the hell would the poor boyfriend and loser be doing in an expensive jewelry shop?"Good to see you again, Norton," Alaric said, calmly. An expression of surprise surfaced right away on Norton's face."What the hell! Look at this poor fellow standing on the same ground as me," Norton jested. Sasha smiled, and held onto Norton's arm, looking at Alaric, who was keeping his cool, while watching as they made a fool of themselves."Well, I'm standing on the same ground as you, as I have always been," Alaric fired back, smirking."What? You've never been on the same ground as me, you sore loser. Come on wimp. Well, I guess you're so delusional that you can't face the truth that you're nothing but a pathetic fellow," he cursed."Do you know that your presence is downgrading uw? How come we're here with you? This
Sasha couldn't believe her eyes and it seemed like magic as Alaric walked out of the store. Both she and Norton were surprised, and her eyes widened. She felt like she had so much wronged him in the past, and was ready to put everything out. Just yesterday she insulted him and cursed him, choosing someone else over him, but she was feeling the love bloom again. She was finding it in her heart to come closer to him. Alaric made his way out of the store and was about to leave when he felt a pair of hands grabbing onto him. He stopped for a while, before turning around to see who it was. Sasha. She had a remorseful look on her face as if she wasn't happy with herself, and she clung to him tightly. Norton was furious as his girlfriend was going back to her ex. "Sorry, Alaric. I doubted you and insulted you. I don't know why but I was blinded by status and fame, that of Norton. I see what it's like to be really in love. I am so much in love with you Alaric. Please accept me in y
The manager couldn't believe her eyes. This was one of the most expensive things on sale in the big store, and it was actually with Alaric. How the hell in the world was he able to get a hold of this without anyone knowing? Alaric looked shocked by everything that happened, and Sasha, together with her boyfriend Norton began laughing at him."I told you that he's just a thief who doesn't know how to control his appetite for luxury and steals them instead. What do you say about someone who can steal a diamond hairpin? I'm certain that he stole the card he used to pay the bills for the purse and necklace," Norton accused, firing immediately at Alaric. The manager's eyes rolled to the counter, scanning through everything it was that was on it until her eyes caught something. What? The Wright Ring? He had one with him? She was quite aware of how that ring could instill silence and could exert dominance over people. The Wright family was the greatest in the city. "T- that ring?" She s
Alaric walked out of the store after clearing all payments and saw the bemused faces of both Norton and Sasha. Reaching up to them, a smile ran across his face, in retort to their ugly faces. It was obvious that they were surprised. They were the first people to know who he is now, however, little did they know what he was planning to do with them. He was going to make sure that they lost their self-respect and dignity, and he was already building a master plan for it."Come on Sasha. Has it been so boring with your new boyfriend that you can't keep your ugly face off me?" He asked, wanting to taunt her. Her lips fitted into a curl, as she tucked several strands of hair behind her ear. She looked at Norton with a doubtful face. He knew what she meant by that. She was ready to go back to her past lover."You see Norton, this is just…""Don't tell me you want to go back to this loser, Sasha," he bawled. She shook her head."Don't say that! He is not a loser, Norton. I finally reali
"What is wrong with you Natalie? You know that you shouldn't be talking to a guest in such a manner," Kimberly scolded. The look on Natalie's face was baseless. Despite knowing that she hurt his feelings by insulting him, the puzzled look on her face only told that she wasn't an iota concerned. As usual, this was another opportunity to insult him, since that was what everyone always did."Come on Kimberly, you know I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth. Look at this weirdo.""Geez," her friends hissed, and they all smirked, while Kimberly gave them a tough glower."Don't glare at me, Kim. You know that you shouldn't make friends like this. I thought you were supposed to be hanging out with Ace," she said. Alaric turned to Kimberly, with a befuddled look on his face. "Ace?" He asked."Don't mind what she's saying," she defended before I could say another word. He never meant to ask who Ace was, but then, it seemed like he had heard the name before. Maybe he was also the kind of pe
"Come on, Alaric, let's enjoy the party as you said. Why not meet my parents? I'm sure they will like me," Kimberly suggested."I don't think that will be a good idea at all. I'm not sure how your parents will react when they see me, and I know I am not so attractive, so they might have the wrong impression of me.""Don't say that Alaric, my parents are not like that. I'm sure that they will like you. Look, there are so many guests here. Why not mingle with everyone? I can show you to my friends, and some of my relatives," she said, smiling."Can I decline, please? Look, Kimberly, I don't think this would end up well. I don't know why, but I'm having this kind of horrible feeling towards that idea," he said, declining the idea. Alaric rolled his eyes at everyone here. She wasn't in any position to match up to their status. Well, with the way he looked. No one would consider him a gentleman, since he didn't dress elegantly. For him, it wasn't any use showcasing to everyone how influ
Alaric was furious at what happened, and how he was insulted by her family just now, and rushed down the hallway."Alaric, wait. Please don't get mad," Kimberly called, trying to chase after him. He reached near a post and leaned against it, trying to hide himself from the crowd."Alaric calm down. Come on, you shouldn't be doing this," she said, trying to pacify him. "I shouldn't be doing this, you say? I have every right to do this. I have every right to be annoyed because I was insulted for being poor. You are showing me that your parents wouldn't insult me, but I was humiliated because of my mediocre dress. I have every right to be angry," Alaric mouthed out, evidently angry at Kimberly. She sighed. Nothing was justifiable. He was wronged by her parents and family, and was once again insulted and humiliated."I said I'm sorry. I never knew my parents were like this. I never expected him to insult someone in the manner they just did.""An insult is an insult, Kim, and I was i
