"When can I leave the hospital? I don't want to stay here for a very long time," Alaric said to the doctor who was in front of him. "I don't think that you are in a state to leave now, sir. You have to wait for a little more time. You just started treatment yesterday. Even if your injury wasn't so severe, you still lost a lot of blood and had a dagger in your stomach, so it required a 2-hour surgery, and you need to rest." "I was able to leave yesterday. Why can't that be permanent? I didn't experience many issues, and I was able to stand up on my feet. Don't worry, I will be alright. I just need to get the hell out of here. I have a lot of things to do, and I have scheduled many things on my radar," he tried explaining to the doctor. "Please sir, it's for your health. I beg you to stay in the hospital. We only allowed you yesterday because you said it was an emergency. We shouldn't have, but we did because you urged us. It was also risky, and it was a miracle that you could even ge
"Well, who is going without getting my permission?" A foreign, yet familiar voice shook the entire mansion. Everyone's eyes rolled at who spoke, and Mrs. Wright was surprised, the same look that Caroline wore too! It looks like they were all surprised, and Alaric couldn't understand what was going on. "Dad, you're here already?" Caroline asked, gasping, as she ran immediately to go and hug the man. Alaric didn't believe it. He was looking at his father face to face, the man he wanted to meet for long. This was a dream come true, as he wanted to meet the person who changed his life forever. "What? Dad?" He muttered under his breath. Mrs Wright was also happy to meet him. "You're here, honey? We are about to come and give you a surprise welcome at the airport. We were waiting for you to come back for a long time, and you're finally here. I can't believe my eyes, but I am seeing my husband for the first time in so many months," she said and sobbed. "Don't worry dear, I am now
"Thanks for always supporting me Dad. Thanks, Mom. I will always love both of you. Thanks, Alaric for coming back into our lives. You have made this family a complete one, and we will always love you for it," Caroline said, as she looked at her father, mother, and then, Alaric. He nodded, and Mrs. Wright walked up to her. "Have a safe journey dear. We hope to hear from you soon. I'm sure you will contact us when you arrive over there. Also, extend our greetings to Damon and his family. Make sure you're not facing any problems, and I hope Damon is taking good care of you," Mr. Wright said. Mrs. Wright suddenly intervened. "Ah, yes. I'm sure Damon will be taking good care of our Caroline. Of course, he should. Look honey, there is no need to worry when Damon is around Caroline. He is the best guy I have seen in a match with our daughter, and he will do a good job of taking care of her. He surely loves her," she stated. Clement was confused. "Well, I know that Damon is a good guy, b
Alaric got to the front of the door to the venue where the meeting was held. His father had already walked inside and was talking with some of his friends, and he sighed, mustering a bit of confidence, knowing that he was going to compose himself, and was appearing in front of influential people. "Young Master, don't worry. Everything is going to work out fine, and you will see that it will be smooth. No need to fear, especially when your dad is inside there. I'm sure it would be a good experience, and you will benefit from it," Steve said. Alaric nodded, and adjusted his tie, before walking in. They were waiting for him. It was a little house, where they hosted to meet, and he was amazed at how portable but richly decorated and beautiful the interior of the house looked. "This is amazing," he said beneath his breath, as he walked in. Steve was beside him and whispered to him. "Yes, young master. This house is beautiful, and it is a very special place because your father and the
They talked for a few more minutes, and some of the businessmen asked about Alaric's plans and even his thoughts on his position. "Mr. Wright, I have seen that Alaric is really a great man. He is doing everything in his power to make everything a success. Alaric, how about your position as CEO? What did you think of it when you were informed that you would be the new CEO of the biggest conglomerate in the world?" Another man, Mr. Shawn, asked. Alaric thought about the question, and how to answer it, before answering. "Well, it was very big news to me. I wasn't even expecting it, and even if I had ever dreamt about it, I never believed I would be the CEO of such a great Empire. It was a dream come true, and I am happy that I found myself doing a great job. I didn't have any experience with it, but I managed to pull it through, and here I am," he said. "Great," Mr. Shawn commended. "That's incredible. Well, what is equally shocking is when you were announced to be the new CEO of t
"Dad, I will be leaving for the office now. As I said earlier, I have an important meeting to attend, and I have to go now. From the reports I got, the person I am to meet with is already at the office waiting for me," Alaric said, as they stepped out of the venue. His father nodded, and smiled at him, patting him on his shoulder. "Yes, son. You should go. I would love to come with you, if you don't mind. It's been a very long time since I saw the office and the way things are, and it would be very good if I had a tour around the company building," Mr. Wright said."I don't think there's any need for that, Dad. You should just stay at home, and have a good rest. I understand that it must have been a very tiring journey, so you must rest well, and relieve yourself from the pain," he said."Yes, son. Now that I have looked deeply into this, I think I have realized it too. It would be better to stay at home. Anyway, I just got back, so I still have enough time before I go to see the of
Alaric looked down on Mr. Jefferson begging him. This was what he wanted, and he was finally getting it. He wanted to make his enemies suffer, and it was finally happening, bit by bit. "Please, save my life. This is the last place I can go, and I have no other place to help myself. No one will accept me, and this Empire is the only thing that can help me. I need to talk with you," he said, begging Alaric. Alaric nodded, and moved away slightly, allowing Mr. Jefferson's hand to slip and fall to the ground. "Well, I need to know more about you, Mr. Jefferson. You can't just come here and tell me to help you. I don't even know what you're talking about, so how do you expect me to respond to that? Take a seat and then we can talk business," he commanded. Mr. Jefferson didn't want to sit down. He wanted to beg Alaric because he knew that he had nothing to offer to the Wright empire since he had nothing to himself. "Please, sir. Help me. I know that you're now the CEO of this company,
" "Are you trying to play with me right now? You are telling me that you need $1 million?" Alaric asked Mr. Jefferson, shocked by the amount he called. "Yez, Mr. Weight. This is the amount of money I need to be able to get on my feet. I need that much amount. If you can lend me the sum of $1 million, then I will make sure to continue my great contributions to the Wright Empire once again," he said. Alaric was shocked, and couldn't process what Mr. Jefferson was talking about. He was talking about his contribution to the Wright empire, and he didn't quite understand what it meant. He looked at Steve, whose expression told him that he didn't understand too. "What do you mean by that, sir? I don't understand anything you're saying. What contributions are you talking about? Is it this Empire that belongs to me now?" He asked Mr. Jefferson. "Come on now, sir. Even if you don't know anything about it, I'm sure your father does. This is the reason why I wanted to work with your father an
