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

Josiah shut the document heavily with a loud sound and slid it across the table to Alexander. Once again Harry wanted to interfere but he was beginning to feel foolish for trying to defend Alexander when he did not even look like he needed defense. Alexander picked up the document with a sense of confidence and boldness. "Is this all?" He asked. All the men on the table burst laughing, "Trust me, that is more than enough," One of the men replied. "A lot of people have never returned to the family just by trying to fulfill the trial, you are asking if it is enough? You must be kidding," Another man said with a sarcastic laugh. Josiah seemed very pleased That the men had succeeded in intimidating Alexander and making him rethink the challenge he had just accepted. "The deed is done, and for your question, Alexander, it is more than enough and you will find out soon," Josiah replied. It seemed that the meeting had only been convened just to address Alexander because imm

The sky was a little cloudy as Alexander walked out of the Sean Tower. He was not bothered about all the discouraging words that the old men at the executive council had said. The trial document in hand, Alexander knew that all he had to do was find a way to tackle the trial one after the other. He was not afraid of starting his own company. All his life, Alexander was not very used to hand outs, he did all he could just to fend for himself and his ungrateful wife. And although her family was much richer than he could ever have imagined himself to be, he was not a leech or parasite That wanted to live off his in-laws. Alexander was quickly learning how to be a man, and not just a man but a man of value and power. He stepped out of the elevator proudly, he could hear the old butler's footsteps right behind him. "I think we've done this before, this is the point where you meet me after the meeting and begin to tell me everything I said wrong and how I should ask for mercy, right?
The Ordained Heir Chapter 22
It was later that evening that Alexander finally cleaned up and decided to meet Alicia at one of the fanciest restaurants in the town. He asked Brad to make a special reservation for just the two of them at the rooftop. Alexander was a little scared, maybe not terrified as the old man had wanted him to be but that did not mean he was not anxious or nervous at all. He was still bothered about how he would accomplish such a hard task. He refused to even think about the parts where he had to marry a royal from one of the top four families in the city. Deciding he would get to that sea when the time was right and definitely find a way to cross it, he focused his attention on the very first task. Unbuttoning his shirt two at the top, he stepped out of the car and walked into the restaurant, Brad was right behind him. The valley at the entrance got the car key and ushered them inside. Alexander could not help but admit that the place was exquisite. Multicolored chandeliers hun

Alicia moved back, her face and mask of horror, "What are you doing here, Dad?" She asked in shock. Alexander was surprised too, he wondered how the father they had just been discussing a few minutes ago managed to arrive at the restaurant so quickly. "Did you really think I was going to let you miss that trip to Italy?" The father asked, his tone anything but friendly. "Dad, I told you I am not interested in going, why don't you let Andrew go," she said defensively, throwing her napkin on the table and crossing her arms stubbornly. "Really? When did I start trusting Andrew with my business deals, you know he is barely useful in the day-to-day operations of the company," he replied stiffly. "I don't care., figure it out yourself, I am not interested in making that trip and you won't bully me into it," she spat, suddenly engaged at his aggressive behavior. Alexander was feeling very uncomfortable because he was caught in the crossfire of a family argument that he had n

Alexander looked at Alicia's father as he quickly instructed the waiter to get his card and pay for everything they had bought from the restaurant, including the special reservation. Alicia simply rolled her eyes because she knew that her father was accusing Alexander wrongly. "You think I am going to let you little boyfriend get away with this one?" Beck asked. But Alexander did not reply, in fact he did not need to because his actions would have to speak clearer than whatever words he had to say. The waiter looked a little confused, as much as he did not want to embarrass Alexander because he had just booked such an expensive restaurant, he was kind of torn between choices as Beck began to insult him and claim he did not have the money to pay. In fact, the waiter kind of believed Beck because he was a very influential man in the town and his daughter, Alicia , often came to the restaurant too and was always with men that made her take the bill. Apparently, Alexander would not be
