Preston City. A large metropolitan city filled with beaches and tall buildings was the place Moses decided he would raise his son. Moses had become very popular in the Twelve cities. He knew if he was going to raise Ben, he would need a fresh location. A place where nobody knew him or his clan ties. That was why he picked up Ben and Yuri and left the twelve cities to settle in Preston City. Moses and Yuri picked up a new identity as the Potters family. Many people mistook Moses and Yuri for a married couple because they live together under a roof and raise a baby. In Preston City, Moses got the job of a delivery guy while Yuri acted as a nanny for Ben. The purpose of a job to Moses was meant to put up the appearance of an average father working to provide for his family. Because Moses was diligent in his work as a delivery guy, he was grew quite popular around Preston City in his first three months as a newbie. No one in Preston City could have guessed Moses, the delivery g
When Moses returned to Preston Express, his boss was waiting for him at the entrance. There was a scowl on the manager's face that Moses didn't like. “What the hell did you do, Moses, huh?” He demanded angrily. Moses stood in front of him, his face expressionless. “Nothing, I only offered a suggestion which Greene took offense at.”“You bloody fool,” the manager scolded. “You're not supposed to say anything. I understand you're new in this city, but you should've known better.”Moses narrowed his eyes. “I apologize for causing you any trouble, sir.”The manager clenched his fists. “The Graham family is a very influential family in this city. They literally run the city. Everyone is careful not to offend them in the slightest and yet, you….”He couldn't complete his words because he was speaking so fast and breathlessly. Moses sighed. “I apologize for causing you any trouble to you. If it makes you feel any better, I'll resign.”The manager frowned. “I didn't want to terminate your
Marcus Graham, the family patriarch of the Graham family lay down on his sick bed, battling with his life. His condition was so bad he could barely speak a word to anyone. He was fed through a tube and was always wired to a life machine. But despite everything, Marcus Graham's fate was sealed. He only has a few weeks left to live. Reggie Graham sat next to his father, alone. He had been the only one visiting his father every single day. Marcus Graham wrote no will on how his wealth would be shared after he died. He refused to make a will because he wanted his family to work together to keep the company alive and booming. It was a family business, and it would be treated as such. Sadly, Reggie was the only one who was treated badly by his fellow sisters and brothers, especially Greene. Marcus had always been fond of Reggie that was why Reggie never left his side since his sickness struck. "Mr Reggie," A nurse entered the room. "You have a visitor?"Reggie was surprised. The l
"You bastard, this is a Fake," Dr. Mark barked. "Do you want to kill Marcus Graham?"Reggie turned to Moses. "What's the meaning of this? You brought a fake to me?"Moses turned to Dr. Mark. "What makes you think it's a fake? Have you ever seen one up close before?""Yes I have," Dr. Mark said sharply. "Twice. I've seen fatally sick people regain their health after taking the vials. This is obviously a fake. I can tell."Moses smirked. "So you admit that you know so much about the heavens tears, huh?""Why won't I?" Dr. Mark scoffed. "Don't underestimate me."Moses shrugged. "I'm surprised. If you know so much about the heavens tears, then why didn't you tell Reggie about it before?"Dr. Mark caught his tongue. He realized that he had said too much. His silence made Reggie suspicious. Reggie grabbed Dr. Marks shoulder. "Dr. Mark, what are you not telling me?"Dr. Mark stuttered. "Don't listen to a word he said. He's just trying to complicate things.""Never mind that," Reggie snapped
It was a stormy afternoon when a sleek black Lamborghini Aventador pulled up before the steps of the entrance of the Imperial Hotel. Moses ran towards the automobile with an umbrella carried above his head. He opened the front door while he held the umbrella over. With a stiff bow, he greeted. “Welcome to the Imperial Hotel, Master Dave.” Dave stepped out of the car, a big sunglasses resting on his head. “Well, well, well, if it isn't my worthless brother-in-law," he said as he removed his glasses. Moses hung his head. “How may I be of service to you, Master Dave?” “Lucky for you, I don't have any luggage, but I'm here with my girlfriend,” Dave replied. “If you let one drop of rain touch her, I'll kill you.” “I won't let her get wet, Master Dave,” Moses said. “Baby, who is that?” A female voice asked from the passenger's seat. “Oh, this shithead is Moses,” Dave answered. “He's the pathetic live-in-son-in-law that's married to my cousin.” The girl wrinkled her nose whe
Dave's face went pale. “Y-You're kidding, right? $2 billion? That's a fortune. We don't have that kind of money.” “That is why I call you useless,” Madame Aurora fired. “Each one of you can't even boast of $100 million.” Glenn raised his hand. He was Madame Aurora's eldest offspring. “Mother, no matter how you stress it, it's impossible for us to raise $2 billion. Hell, not even the bank would loan us such an outrageous sum.” Madame Aurora wrinkled her nose at him. “Alas, you're just as useless as your son, Glenn. It's no surprise, like father like son. You two take after each other.” Dave and Glenn's veins stuck out in their forehead. Madame Aurora's insult hit them deep, but they kept their mouth shut. It wasn't worth it to talk back to Madame Aurora. The MOMO family depended on her for survival. All their financial holdings were penned under her name. This was what made her the most important member of the MOMO family. A maid brought in a tray of tea in beautiful chi
“I do not approve. You will not marry my wife,” Moses snapped. Moses' sudden appearance and declaration took everyone in the living room by surprise. “Moses, when did you get here?” Valeria demanded. “Long enough to hear this mad man's offer,” Moses retorted. “Don't listen to him, Valeria” “You sneaky bastard!” Juliet removed her shoe and hurled it at Moses. “Stop trying to ruin my life. This doesn't concern you. Get lost.” “But it does concern me, mother-in-law,” Moses countered as he dodged her shoe. “Valeria is my wife. I cannot let another man steal her away from me. She's mine.” “You foolish boy,” Jordan charged at him and slapped him across the face. “Always running your mouth. Do you want to ruin my family like how you ruined yours?” Moses stepped back, feeling the sting of the slap echoing in his ears. Madame Aurora, despite her richness and power, gave birth to five ugly women and two sons. In the Twelve Cities, beauty and class were a virtue attributed to a woman.
Madame Aurora summoned a second meeting by 10pm. Two meetings in one day were uncommon in the MOMO family, but Madame Aurora was in a mad frenzy. She had just watched the news and her bank manager was blowing up her phone lines. He was asking one question: “Why didn't you invest in Rockechilds Empire?” If she had purchased some excellent stocks, she would've been worth at least $500 million. Madame Aurora could feel her blood pressure rising. Only fifteen people in the world bought Rockechilds Empire stocks when the stocks were low. Everyone called them a bunch of mad men, but those guys were now worth billions of dollars. Madame Aurora needed to see her family or else she might lose her mind. She, in particular, wanted to see Moses. The MOMO family were once again gathered at the Imperial hotel in the conference room. Madame Aurora was pacing around, her face knotted in an impatient frown. “I was sure I summoned everyone. Where the hell are Valeria and Moses?” “W
