The Ordained Heir Chapter 12
Fiona had a proud smirk on her face as she heard her uncle's voice. "Now you're truly going to get what you deserve," she spat. Because of how he was being handcuffed to the chair, Alexander could not turn to see who was by the door until the man walked right to the chair across from him and sat loudly. "So you're the criminal that stole from my niece, huh?" He asked, his yellow teeth bared at Alexander intimidatingly. "She has no proof that I stole from her," Alexander replied calmly but that was a mistake, the chief of police grabbed his chin forcefully, definitely leaving a bruise on his tanned face. "You don't talk while I am still talking!" The man spat and then ordered some of the men to get into the investigation room just in case Alexander was trying to be stubborn. "I would hate to see you beaten up and bloodied, all you have to do is confess and maybe you won't spend the rest of your life in jail," Grace said, picking at her fingers like she was discussing the
The Ordained Heir Chapter 13
A general of the fiercest army in the country walked into the investigation room. If Chief Benson was being feared then the general in question was dreaded. His face was twisted into a nasty scowl and everyone in the military within the region was frightened at the mention of his name, he took down countries and claimed territories in a matter of days. "General Samuel, what an honor to have__" Benson began to say but the man cutting in with the cold voice, "Save it! I'm not interested in your pleasantries, Benson," the General said. Brad sauntered into the room and nodded at Alexander respectfully, "These are the men who disrespected the young master publicly and forced him to come here," Brad announced. "Young master?" Fiona said, her voice cracking. Even Grace was a little too stunned to speak, she slightly moved behind her daughter and held her arms. "We had no idea who he was," Benson said remorsefully, he looked at Alexander and back at the general and wondered what
The Ordained Heir Chapter 14
Alexander left the police station with the army convoy before and behind his Bentley. A good distance away, the convoy stopped and Brad had to hit the brakes too. The general got out of the vehicle and walked to Alexander who was still in the backseat. Alexander wound down the window and General Samuel bowed to him. "I was very surprised when Brad told me that the young master had returned, I never would have guessed it'd be true," he said. "I'm back," Alexander replied and Samuel nodded solemnly, "Your father was the greatest man in the city and I was pleased to serve him. Now that you've taken over, my men and I are under your command too, please reach us if you ever run into trouble," he said and Alex nodded, "Thank you, General," hr replied and the man smiled at him as he left. The convoy slowly began to drive away until Brad was on the highway alone. "Where to, master?" Brad asked as they got to an intersection. Alexander didn't know where to go. He was tired and b
The Ordained Heir Chapter 15
The attendant was obviously intimidated by Mr Brown because he knew who he was. He quickly moved to Alexander and asked politely to search him. Alexander smiled, he knew he had nothing on him so he stretched his hands and asked the attendant to go ahead, but unknown to him, Brown had planted something in his back pocket. "Search him thoroughly, I saw him picking up a necklace and he tried to hide it when he saw me," Mr Brown insisted when the attendant was about to leave Alexander. Still shaky, the attendant went back and searched Alexander's back pocket, he pulled out the jewelry and glared at Alexander. "So he is right, you stole something?!" He asked, eyes wide. Alexander was shocked, he did not know how the jewelry got into his pocket but one look at Mr Brown told him all he needed to know - he had just been framed. "Of course he stole something, did you think I was trying to lie against him?" Brown asked the attendant. "This is a prestigious boutique, we will not
The Ordained Heir Chapter 16
Brown was speechless as the attendant handed back the silver card and thanked Alexander for giving him the $50,000 he promised. Even the manager was so impressed that he bowed to Alexander. "Thank you for shopping with us. We will be restocking in a short while, please, kindly drop your contact information so we can call you, sir," the man said. Alexander turned to Brown and said, "He is your good customer and he doesn't seem to like me, I don't think I should come around often." "What? Him?" The manager asked and glared at Brown, "He's just a regular customer, we can send him away if you want," he said and Brown's jaw dropped. "Please accept our humble apology for any embarrassment we have caused you today," he said respectfully. Brown turned to the manager and was about to whine when the man quickly picked up Alexander's shopping bag and helped him to the car. At the car, Brad was leaning on the trunk with his earbuds plugged in. He quickly opened the back seat as Ale
The Ordained Heir Chapter 17
The room fell silent as he pushed open the door. The conference room was filled hu at least half a dozen people. Six pairs of eyes turned to him as he entered and the man standing at the center of head of the table shot him a glare. "Who the fuck are you?! Coming in here without permission?!" He snapped. Alexander was a little shocked at how high his voice was, he looked at the others at the table and noticed that they weren't so comfortable, each was either looking down at their book or tablet. "I must have lost my way, I was supposed to meet someone here," he replied calmly. "Who would be stupid enough to organize a meeting on the top floor when you're not a member of the executive cabinet?" The man spat. Immediately, the man who had accosted Alexander in the elevator ran in, panting after taking the flight of stairs. He wasn't very fit and he was out of breath at the slight physical exertion. "Sorry, Mr Simon, I tried to stop him but he kept marching here like a mad man,
The Ordained Heir Chapter 18
The whole room was in tense silence as Simon continued to weep and beg Alexander for forgiveness. "I had no idea that you were the heir Pa Harry was talking about, I'm so sorry," he begged. Pa Harry sneered at him, as if he read Alexander's mind, he asked, "So you disrespect people who walk on here in such a manner?" Simon shook his head but it was pointless, his actions spoke dozens. Alexander finally shook his hold off his leg and asked the guards to take him out of his sight. The men yanked Simon off the floor despite the fact that he'd been their boss just a few seconds ago. "Please...I had no idea...please," he begged but the guards didn't stop until he was outside. Turning to the conference room, he looked at the faces of all the staff and realized that they all seemed a little relieved that he was gone. Without being told, Alexander could deduce that Simon had not been the best leader in the company, they were happy that his reign was over - even the way that the gua

The Sean family tower was the largest in the best expanse of land. It was the tallest building in the whole town and one of the tallest in the city. Alexander was still marveled at the amazing structure despite it being his second time there. Harry got down from the vehicle and Alexander did so too. Brad as usual opened the door to the lobby and ushered both men inside. Alexander could not deny the fact that he was a little anxious, he had been waiting to see the Sean family council again after the first time. "Alexander, I must tell you that you did not make the brightest first impression," Harry told him warily, "I don't know how the members of the council will respond to seeing you again but I hope it will work out fine for you," he said. Alexander had a lot on his mind, he badly wanted to tell the butler that he did not care what members of the council thought about him and he wasn't concerned about his terrible first impression - especially when they considered him spe

The fire and fight visibly drained out of Margaret and she sagged on the floor, laying the hammer down and raising her hands in surrender. The guards got to her and grabbed her by the arm, hurling her up from the floor and steadying her. It was right then that the waterworks began. Margaret began to cry fiercely, asking for Alexander's forgiveness. "Please, you said we could sorry this out, you said you'd wave it away like it never happened. I know that you're the young master, please help me!" She begged, sobbing and struggling against the guard's grasp. Alexander looked at her, he couldn't believe how easily it had all gone south. His office was a mess, he'd just accused the secretary wrongly and now he was going to have to send someone to jail and he wasn't even a month old in the company yet. "You brought this on yourself, Margaret, you have to take responsibility for it," he replied plainly. She shook her head and kept crying, "You said I should step away, you promise

At that moment, Margaret realized that someone else was in the office and she froze. Her eyes widened as she saw Pamela and Alexander and she quickly jumped down from the chair, landing on the floor and twisting her ankle. She cried out and held onto the table for balance. Alexander was a little too stunned to say anything, he simply looked at her, he just couldn't believe his eyes. No more was the timid and meek woman he saw at the office every other day, dressed in moderate clothes and acting like she couldn't look anyone in the eyes. In her place was a woman that looked fierce enough to take down both of them in a blink. She was breathing heavily through him enough, her hair was a mess of cobwebs and she was drenched in sweat. "What are you doing here, Margaret?" Alexander asked, his voice low, disbelieving, disappointed. Margaret didn't look remorseful at all, she sneered at him instead. "What do you think I'm doing? Of course I'm taking what I want!" She snapped. Pame

At the top floor, Alexander walked as stealthily as he could, making his way down the hallways quietly, he turned to the left where the cafeteria was nestled before the main offices. He couldn't see anyone in sight. Usually, no one was ought to be in the office before 7:00 a.m. There was no staff who would come so early unless they had ulterior motives or a job to complete. The security down stars most have given Pamela access because she was a staff and it didn't matter how early she wanted to come to the company, she was an important person there had no one could stop her - especially when they all knew she was the one making the payroll and decided who should be fired and who stays. Alexander crept up the hallway and walked slowly to the office line up but he suddenly bumped into someone on his way. The hallways were still dark and that meant whoever was there had left the lights off to avoid being seen and turned on the light only in his office to go through his files. S

The accountant in his office was shaking like a leaf. Alexander had been questioning him for the last thirty minutes and although the man said the same thing, he was visibly nervous and would rather be anywhere but there. "You're sure you have never missed a few transactions? Huh?" He asked again and the old man shook his head. "No, sir, all I have to do is redirect into the company's account and then the auditors bring an inventory of all our equipment and whatever other expenditures there are for the month. I've never missed any record," he said, his tone pleading. Alexander was not a bully. As a matter of fact he'd been at the other end of that stick for quite a while to know not to treat someone else like that. As much as he wanted to get the culprit and bring justice, he wasn't willing to bully someone into admitting it when it really wasn't them. At that point, after a few hours in the air conditioned room and still managing to break into sweat, Alex was sure the accoun

Margaret's breath might have stopped for a while as Alexander spoke. Her eyes widened and she began to fidget. Her heart was hammering in her chest like she was going to have a seizure soon. "Are you okay?" Alexander asked her and she nodded but she looked anything but. Her face was red and she was visibly hyperventilating. "Take a seat, is everything okay?" He asked, concerned with her sudden reaction. Margaret nodded and grabbed into the edge of the table, slowly lowering herself to the seat. "I've been...it's..." She stammered but Alexander cut her in. "Calm down, I know that you just took over from Simon and all and you don't really know everything about the records but I think you can help," he said and she kept on staring at him like something was wrong. "I asked you the other day and I think you wanted to say something but there were too many faces, could you say it now?" He asked and she hummed. "Come on, Margaret, don't be afraid, is there anyone suspecting you might

Alexander was oblivious to the plans of his in-laws against him. Not only had Grace found a way to get his attention but she was going to set about it in the worst method possible. Fiona didn't want to be a part of it because she was still ashamed of how it had gone down the last time at the police station with Uncle Benson but Grace was a little more optimistic. She had crafted out a cruel scheme that had to work one way or the other. Alexander showed up at work the next day, he had a few investors to meet from Germany and he was very pleased to receive them. Not only was he trying to grow the company but he was trying to get some connections for himself too. Miss Pamela had oddly been unavailable since the phone call at the storage room that day and although the P.A mentioned that she had called in sick, Alexander didn't believe that at all. It was about 10 o'clock when Margaret tapped on his office door and told him that the investors were down stairs and ready to meet with

Albert didn't look very happy, in fact, his face was twisted into an ugly frown as he tossed his bag on the couch and then unbuttoned his suit. Grace rolled her eyes at him. She was very uncomfortable with the fact that her husband couldn't even help the family despite all the connections he claimed to have. It was becoming obvious that Albert wasn't as powerful or wealthy as he had claimed before they got married and she had to live with that fact. "How was work today, Dad?" Fiona asked softly as he plopped down on the couch. "Could have been better, Back McIntyre is out of the country and that lousy daughter of his is too disrespectful to have a reasonable conversation with," he groaned frustratingly. Grace scoffed, "All this wouldn't happen if you could just get in touch with one of your big friends and ask for help," she said. Albert glared at her, he could sense the insult coming even before she landed and he tried to avoid the topic. It was a little secret between the

Everyone was trying to talk at about the same time and the living room ended up sounding oddly like a poultry farm. Grace could barely hear herself and Fiona was still struggling to make her point known to her family. "If you guys could just listen for one freaking second!" Fiona bellowed, frustrated with the whole lecture she was getting from her entire family. Grace, her mother glared at her, clearly not interested in whatever explanation she had to give. "What could you possibly say that will make any sense to us? We have just lost the one deal that meant everything to us!" She snapped. "But we have been doing well without them and we can still survive even if the McIntyre family doesn't want to invest in our company," she argued. Gilbert, her brother, chuckled and asked if she had any idea what was actually going on in the family. "I think you have been in your own little bubble with Alexander for so long and now you're with that Same guy so you haven't really been not

Waking up earlier and getting used to the taste of black coffee was something Alexander realized he had to get used to in order to function at the Sean company. Although he was the boss and could do as he pleased, show up whenever it was convenient and never even have to wake up before noon, he realized that there was a lot more involved in becoming the heir of the family than just sitting on a high chair and barking instructions, he had to be everywhere, he had to have his eyes on everything. Being at the company for just one day has taught him to be very patient with people and to keep his head a little low if he wanted to find out anything. Harry was right, the staff in the company - at least most of them - somehow knew him and the talk with Simon had spread far, so basically everyone was on their best since they realized he would now be working at the company officially. It was early morning the next day and Alexander decided to arrive early at the office. Alicia had calle
