2024-10-29 19:42:56"Mrs. Harvey, please," Billion implored, his eyes pleading with her to understand the gravity of the situation. "You mustn't say what you're about to. It could ruin everything."
Mrs. Harvey's gaze settled upon Billion, a smirk dancing on her lips. The room seemed to grow quieter, the collective attention shifting towards the unfolding drama. A sense of anticipation hung heavy in the air, as if the entire room held its breath, awaiting the explosion of a well-kept secret.A cruel glint sparked in Mrs. Harvey's eyes, and she sneered, relishing the power she held over Billion. "Oh, dear Billion," she mocked, her voice dripping with condescension. "Did you really think you could fool us all? Do you believe that your fake pleas would stop me from exposing who you truly are? You, with your cowardly ways and empty words, are nothing but a spineless fool."The words hit Billion like a series of sharp blows, each one drawing blood from his wounded pride. His face flushed crimson, the weight of Mrs. Harvey's insults crushing his spirit. He felt the room closing in, the judgemental gazes of all in the room intensifying his humiliation.Tears welled up in Billion's eyes, a mixture of shame and anger flooding his being."Mrs Harvey, please tell us what you know". Mrs Williams urged and everyone concurred"Mrs Harvey, I know I shouldn't have li…" Billion's explanation was cut short by Mrs Harvey's sentence."Billion is now a member of a gang". She announced"What?". Everyone said in unison, Billion included."What gang? What're you talking about Mrs Harvey?". Billion asked"Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about". She replied"Mrs Harvey, how do you know?". Beauty asked"From his appearance, of course. Can't you all see it? Is this the look of a man who had spent the night in a cell?". She asked"Oh, I understand it now. This wasn't how he looked when he was released last year from the police station". Mrs Williams answered"Exactly! He was probably kept in the same cell with his gang members, as a result, no one dared to hurt him, they probably spent the entire time planning how to rob this house". Mrs Harvey said"You're right! I'm surprised we didn't notice it immediately. When he was released the last time, he had multiple cuts and bruises, I even had to spend money hiring a nurse to attend to him". Mr Brown saidThe relief which washed over Billion was like a cool ocean breeze on a scorching day. The words that tumbled out of Mrs. Harvey's mouth were not the ones he had dreaded."Mrs Harvey. You're completely mistaken. I am not a member of any gang. The only reason I returned unharmed is because the other cell mates were regular people who were put there for minor offences". Billion lied."I can see right through your deceit, boy!. You have joined a gang". She repeated and the others nodded their heads in agreement."I don't think I'll feel safe knowing I'll be sleeping under the same roof with a criminal". Mr Harvey said"Me too. In fact, I don't feel safe being in the same room with him right now. I think he should leave and only return after we have left". Mr Williams suggested and murmurs of agreement could be heard.…After he was sent out, Billion wandered into the peaceful embrace of Glendalton park and sat on a weathered wooden bench.Lost in thought, Billion's eyes gazed into the distance, yet his mind journeyed far beyond the bounds of the park. His thoughts, however, was disrupted by a sound behind him. Billion turned his head to look at the source of the sound and the sight he beheld had him leaping up from his chair."Lord Boulevard". He whispered."Hello son". Lord Boulevard replied.His heart skipped a beat, Lord Boulevard, the man he had not laid eyes upon in nine long years. The shock he felt reverberated through his entire being, freezing him in place.Lord Boulevard had aged since Billion's departure. The once-vibrant countenance now bore the weight of time, etched with lines of wisdom. His eyes, however, still possessed the same piercing gaze that had both intimidated and captivated Billion in his youth.The world around them seemed to fade into insignificance as their gazes met, emotions cascading between them like unspoken words. Billion felt a jumble of conflicting feelings rise within him—regret, curiosity, and the remnants of a love that had never truly diminished."Father, what're you doing here?". Billion finally asked after what seemed like an eternity"What do you think? I'm here to see you". Lord Boulevard answeredBillion quickly realized where they were and who Lord Boulevard was. He immediately scanned the area to make sure there was no one watching."Relax, son. There's no one here but us. Did you get my message, Billy?". Lord Boulevard asked"I did. You asked me to return home". Billion answered"Good. So, why didn't you comply?". Lord Boulevard inquired"You know why, father. It is the same reason I ran away from home. I do not wish to be part of a family of criminals!.While mum was on her sickbed, she begged you to legalize everything you owned and I watched you promise her that you would.It turned out you lied, father. I watched my best friend get killed as a result of your shady dealings and I knew I had to get away!If I had stayed, I probably wouldn't be alive today. So, no, I cannot return home with you". Billion explained"It's all in the past son. And I'm sorry about what happened to your friend, Andy. I wish I had fulfilled the promise I made to your mother sooner, but I couldn't, things were complicated ". Lord Boulevard replied"Are you trying to tell me you've left the life of crime behind? That you've cut ties with your mafia associates and ended things with all criminal families?". Billion inquired"Yes". Lord Boulevard answeredBillion scoffed. "I'm sorry father, but I find that really hard to believe". He said"Here". Lord Boulevard said, handing Billion some documents. "This proves everything I just said"Billion took the documents from him and Settled back in the chair. His eyes were fixated on the document, the words blurring as a mixture of disbelief and elation washed over him in waves.His face bore the marks of astonishment. His brows furrowed in a crease of skepticism.As Billion delved deeper into the document, a glimmer of joy began to emerge, a spark igniting within his core. A slow, almost imperceptible smile crept onto his lips.His eyes darted across the words once more, disbelief warring with the undeniable truth they presented. The sheer magnitude of what he read threatened to overwhelm him, but he reveled in the audacity of it all. Billion's fingers trembled slightly as he held the paper. A surge of adrenaline coursed through his body, awakening a surge of energy he hadn't felt in years."You really did it". He said, his voice laced with emotions."Yes, son. I did it for you". Lord Boulevard replied"For me? What're you talking about?". Billion asked"It's time for you to your rightful position as the heir to the Boulevard empire". Lord Boulevard answeredConcerned, Billion asked, "Father, are you sick?". "No. I just feel it's time for you to take over. I want to relax and enjoy what I've built. I want to watch you become a better man than I ever could be". Lord Boulevard repliedBillion didn't have to think about it for long. He was ready to leave Glendalton and all its inhabitants who were constantly looking down on him, it was time for a new start."I'm ready father, what do I do?". He asked"Just turn the document over and sign". Immediately, Billion complied.With that signature alone, Billion just became the owner of over a billion dollar empire.He was no longer Billion Everest. It was time to assume his real identity, he was Billion Boulevard."Billion the Billionaire, now that sounds just right". He muttered"Here son" Lord Boulevard said, handing Billion ten thousand dollars."Use this to buy whatever you need for today. Tomorrow, I expect to see you back at home" he continued."Thank you Father". Billion gratefully replied."Billy, there is one more thing left, I need you to do me a favor". Lord Boulevard said"Sure, anything father". Billion replied"I need you to retrieve some documents for me". Lord Boulevard said"Just tell me where they are, and I'll get them for you". Billion responded"They're in Joshua Brown's house office. I need you to collect them without him knowing". Lord Boulevard requestedBillion had just returned back to his father and the first task he's given is to steal from his father in-law."Unfuck!ng believable". Billion whispered.

"Are you asking me to steal?". Billion asked"Steal? Of course not. I'm asking you to help me retrieve, they're not the same thing. Joshua Brown can cause a lot of damage with that document in his possession.Here," Lord Boulevard said, handing Billion an envelope "This contains all the details you need to know"."Alright father, I'll go through it, but, if it contains anything crime related, count me out". Billion replied"It doesn't, I promise. Tomorrow, you start a new life". Lord Boulevard said and with a pat to Billon's shoulder, he turned to leave.Midway, he turned.

"Excuse me? Mrs Harvey? The woman who's allergic to shellfish, owns many charities and attends church regularly?" Billion asked"Yes" Lord Boulevard answered"That's not possible. In fact, it doesn't make any sense. There's no way she would submit false documents against anyone, she's not into such activities.Besides, this accountant of yours has been in your company for so long and I believe he mostly deals with people who have shady businesses and top businessmen and politicians.So, how is it possible that he came in contact with Mrs Harvey? That woman mostly focuses on her clothing line". Billion explained"I really do not have the answers to most of your questions, son. But I received a tip from someone and after doing a little research, I discovered it was Charity Harvey who did it, her intentions for trying to incriminate him are still unclear to me.However, since there's no more evidence, I'm sure he will be released and he'll clarify things for us".

"I beg your pardon?" Billion asked."It's true." Sam repliedBillion's eyes widened in disbelief. "Sam, that can't be true! Mrs. Harvey is a devoted churchgoer, and she owns numerous charities, helping countless people in need.""I know it sounds hard to believe," Sam replied, "but I have evidence to back it up."What evidence? Sam, how do you even know all this?" Lord Boulevard asked."I'm curious to know as well. How did you get in contact with Mrs Harvey? That woman rarely does business with anyone who isn't a member of her church or a resident of Glendalton." Billion chimed in."Mrs Harvey employed me to work as an external auditor for her." Sam said."Who introduced you to her?" Billion asked."She said she found me through the internet." Sam answered."Continue." Lord Boulevard said."After I was done with my audit, I discovered that the revenue Mrs Harvey makes from her clothing line isn't enough to keep the line up and running.Also, it is nowhere near enough to keep up with h

"Excellent choice, son." Lord Boulevard said."You don't mind, do you?" Billion asked. "Of course not. You couldn't have chosen a better man for the job." Lord Boulevard answered."Billion do you remember, many years ago, when you came to me with the names of the young men you believed were destined for greatness?" Lord Boulevard asked, his eyes reflecting fond memories.Billion's face lit up with recognition. "Of course, Father! It was Andy and his brother, Andrew Garfield, the ambitious young man from humble beginnings who aspired to make a difference in the world."Lord Boulevard nodded and continued, "You saw potential in him, and I trusted your judgment.

With a deep breath, Andrew began recounting the tale. "My lord, I must humbly report that an audit and thorough examination were conducted at our Hansel branch. Regrettably, during this process, it came to light that there had been a series of inventory thefts occurring over an extended period."Lord Boulevard's brows furrowed, and he leaned forward, his piercing gaze fixed on Andrew. "Explain yourself, Andrew. How did such misconduct transpire under our watch?"Andrew's voice quivered slightly, but he pressed on. "My lord, I assure you, I am not the branch manager, but I take full responsibility for not noticing the discrepancies earlier. The audit revealed a pattern of missing items that had been cleverly concealed. We are considering working with law enforcement to identify the culprits responsible for this betrayal."Billion's expression shifted from mild interest to a mixture of surprise and concern.

Billion replied, his demeanor unwavering."You really have the guts to ask me that? Whatever did my family do toyou?" Xavier yelled."Are you really asking me that?" Billion responded, he had hoped that question was a rhetorical one.“You humiliated those who work for me!”"What about my family? Did they humiliate you as well? Or are you just a sick individual who derives not from watching the downfall of others?" Xavier spat"Your dad almost ruined my empire on love television! You and your parents are cruel individuals. You should be grateful I didn't look for a way to put you behind bars." Billion replied.Upon hearing those words, Xavier let out a mocking laugh "So what?
