2024-10-29 19:42:56You see, my child. Your father handled the business operations of the family and controlled the empire, he was the sole heir to the Williams Empire and when he died, the family lost its heir. But thank God that you're found, I'm getting old and I need to retire which is why you'll have to take over the operations and control of the empire as the new heir.”
Robert listened attentively but was overwhelmed by the part of him taking over as the new heir, what does he know, he has no experience and no degrees to qualify him for such a task. This triggered fear in him as he wondered the magnitude of the task.“Grandfather, I am not in any way or form qualified for any of these. I am a mere hotel attendant.” He cried out immediately to his grandfather, fearing his incompetence for the job.His grandfather looked at him and smiled,“Of course, I know that, my child. You'll undergo a three-month training program which will be designed to bring you up to speed with the best professionals in the world in every field the training covers. Also, you have me and you have Raymond here to guide you through.”Hearing this, Robert took a deep sigh of relief. He could really do with a training program to prepare him for the position.“That would be perfect, sir.” He answered his grandfather with much relief and excitement.His grandfather went on to the next thing.“Now, we must get you settled in,” he signaled to Raymond who brought him a briefcase and he opened it to deliver the items on it to Robert, “Take this card, I'd kept it in the hopes that someday we would find you.”Robert received the card, a golden debit card, and stared at it in amazement. He had never seen anything like it before.“What's this for?” He asked.“That's the family's exclusive debit card for your discretionary spending, it holds the sum of $20 billion. Just spend it wisely.” His grandfather explained to him.Robert couldn't believe his hearing, he thought it for a joke but his grandfather assured him it was real. All of a sudden, he is ten times richer than he was in his dream. He couldn't hold his excitement, he yelled,“Yes!!!” He has become richer than Michael and the Richards combined.His grandfather watched his excitement and smiled,“That's not all, my child. I have also asked that they send the sum of $5 billion to your account just to have it there for anything you want.”“In addition to the $20 billion or?” He asked, wondering where the new figure was from.“Yes, in addition to that. Making it $25 billion for your spending.” His grandfather confirmed to him.Robert's eyes opened wide, his smile glowing brighter than all the lights in the building.His grandfather added,“You are also now the legitimate heir to the Williams $5 trillion empire. As of this moment, everything has been willed to you. They'll provide you the documents to sign subsequently.”“Five what?” Robert asked, confused about what he heard. Could his ears be playing with him or something? Probably his grandfather meant five billion, not the other sets of zeros that begin with a T.“You heard right, Robert. The Williams Empire is worth five trillion dollars and it now falls to you to keep it up and going. We own majority stakes in most of the top companies in the world. The list will be presented to you later by Raymond.” His grandfather added.Robert got tired of all the surprises he had been getting since the police precinct and just decided to chill out and watch everything play out. Maybe someone would soon wake him up or maybe he was never going to wake up from the dream, who knows. Maybe it's an impossible dream or maybe it's not, he couldn't tell the difference between his dream reality versus his actual reality. He wasn't even this rich in his dreams as he was now, he thought dreams had the biggest surprises and worlds but if this is not a dream, then no dream can beat this.His grandfather snapped him back to the moment and said to him,“We'll take a break on this for now, I see that you're overwhelmed already. I'll let you process everything and then we'll continue. There is more to reveal. Raymond will take you to see your new car collections.”“Car collections? Does this ever end?” Robert asked.His grandfather laughed and said to him,“Don't worry, my child. These are nothing, soon you'll acclimatize into them,” as Robert went with Raymond, his grandfather added, “Also, your Homecoming Party is this weekend, we'll talk about it later.”“Homecoming Party? Why?” Robert asked Raymond.“Well, it's to announce you as the new heir of the Williams family. Everyone connected to the family, all the big names in the country and in the world will be in attendance. It's more like your unveiling or reveal party.” Raymond answered him.“Wow. Can I invite anyone?” Robert asked.“Of course, young master. It's your party and you decide how it should be.” Raymond clarified him, introducing him to his new status.Robert nodded his head, ideas already flowing in it.“I want you to send an invite to my ex-family and Michael Noel, telling them they are invited to the Unveiling Party of the Williams Heir as a show of goodwill for helping return the stolen family heirloom.”

For the first time in his life, Robert actually felt good about himself. He looked down, again at the debit card sitting in his lap so carelessly and breathed deeply. Happiness was evidently written all over his face. His bright, blue eyes beamed in delight, illuminating his dark skin as he smiled heartily. "I know it has been a long and incredibly tasking day for you, my child. So I believe it is necessary that you get some rest." His grandfather proposed in concern. And he was right. Robert was way beyond tired, after all the torturing he had encountered in the cell, he really needed to get some rest."I could mistake you for a mind reading shaman, grandfather." His chuckles filled the room as he alighted from his seat. "I am really tired.""Funny boy. You're just like your father, cracking jokes no matter what the situation at hand might be." The smile on Jude's face melted in to a long, sad expression as memories of his late son came to mind. His eyes searched the place immediatel

Robert stopped for a moment and sighed gently. Leaving Raymond in perplex and concern over the change of countenance of the young master, who was amazed just moments ago."Why? Is anything wrong, young master?" Raymond asked, standing at ease behind Robert."Well, it's nothing. I just thought of The Richards. They were the ones who returned the ring to you, right?" He asked, almost like he didn't know the answer already."Well, yes sir. They did. What about them?" Raymond asked with a sudden interest pique about the topic, as he recalled that Robert had asked that they be invited to his welcome party as well."Nothing serious actually. I just want them at the welcome party this weekend. Do not forget to send them a special invitation, naming them as my special guests." Robert emphasized once more."Okay sir. Everything will be done according to your command." Raymond replied in confirmation. " Shall we continue to your room, young master? I'm sure you still need some rest."Robert nod
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 13: More and More
Robert laid there, still with his eyes fixed to the ceiling for few minutes. He had to digest everything he was seeing and actually believe it was all his. It was just unbelievable to him how fast the table turned in his favour. He stood up after a while, walking around the large room, admiring everything in it. He went into the restroom and his eyes lit up at its wonderful setting. The door was made of glass, that couldn't be looked through from the outside. Inside, there was a huge mirror that could be seen when one just walked in, the toilet seat sat at the other side of the room, with a wash bowl just close by. A little door there opened up to a neatly arranged bathroom with a nice shower. Far from the shower laid an extremely huge bathtub, almost the size of a jacuzzi. Robert smiled in disbelief, yet happiness as he walked back out. There, he noticed a bit box fixed to the wall, which he had missed when he first came in and inside it, were warm, cozy towels. Does this just get be
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 14: The Dinner
Robert followed behind Raymond without a word till they got to the stairs. It was dark outside already and the house was at ease and generally quiet."Is it downstairs? The dinning room?" Robert asked almost impatiently. He was famished after his long rest."No, sir. Here we are." Raymond replied, pointing patiently at the first door at the other side of the staircase. "Ah, finally. I'm famished." He chuckled lightly as he talked, walking past Raymond into the room. His grandfather, Jude sat at the far end of the table waiting. "You're finally here, my child." He said upon looking up and seeing Robert."Good evening, grandfather." He greeted as he walked towards the table. The dinning room was spacious, with cozy looking furniture. There was a big dinning table in the middle of about eight chairs and Robert wondered if his grandfather usually ate there all alone."Good evening, my child. I hope you had a good rest." Jude asked between smiles, as he observed Robert's face."Yes, gran
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 15: Fathers' Reunion
"Thank you so much, grandfather." Robert stood up to head back to his room. Looking at his grandfather, he was glad once more that he finally had someone close enough to be seen as a father figure."It's just food, Robert. It's nothing." Jude replied gently. He was also done eating but wanted to sit a while before going to bed."No, grandfather. Not just for the food but for everything. Thank you so much." He said once again. His voice, solemn and filled with genuine gratitude."You're welcome, my child. And thank you too." Jude smiled at his grateful nature. "You're going to bed now, l see. Get ready tomorrow, I have a surprise for you." Robert nodded gently, his face beaming with smiles. "Goodnight, my child." "Goodnight, grandfather." Robert smiled, as he turned and walked away. He wondered what Jude had in store for him as he headed to his room. Raymond had left him soon after pointing out the dinning room. Robert waltzed graciously to his room, gliding like a peacock, head high
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 16: Mother's Love
"I'm sorry, my child. I kept talking about how much sadness I felt over your father's passing, not knowing what you had to go through as well, losing both parents. Would you want to tell me a little about your mother?"Jude asked, feeling pity for his grandson. No one had ever asked Robert that. He had never shared his grief over his mother's death with anyone. Jude asking him that made him feel like someone did care about him. A rush of relief flowed through him as he held his grandfather by the shoulder."Let's go get breakfast, grandfather. I'll tell you everything there." He said, leading Jude back to the car."I don't know why I feel this way but I believe you are full of surprises and I can't wait to see you do wonders keeping up our family legacy." Robert smiled, hearing those words from his grandfather. It did feel good to have somebody believe in you, he thought. This was something he had lacked since his mother passed. So, his gratitude multiplied even more."Thank you, gran
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 17: Hell breaks
"Funny? You think that's funny?" Grandfather asked, his face a deep frown that cut downwards through the fine lines that decorated his face. "There is nothing funny about what happened to you. You weren't supposed to go through all that and I feel sad about it. I'm really sorry. I still don't understand why your father never told me about you and your mother. I would have reached out, but all that doesn't matter anymore now, does it?""I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I just hope whatever reasons dad had for hiding us were actually reasonable. You had to see how wretched I looked, how unkempt I was. It was really hard with a father, but it became worse with mother gone as well." For Robert, this was some kind of therapy. He had never really opened up to anybody about it, so it created pent up anger and pain whenever something made him remember. But here he was, saying it out freely without any restrictions or concern. Something he never knew he needed. "Losing mother was hard, worse
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 18: Party Preparations
Robert signalled at Raymond, who was standing my the door for him to call the waiter."Waiter!" Raymond called out rather authoritatively, resting his weight against a near table. She rushed in at once. Her blonde hair elegantly dangling around her shoulders. She was rather clumsy for a waitress, or maybe the sight of a fine man such as Robert made her weak in the knees. "Can I have the bill?" Robert asked calmly, his nice dentition on display, giving him an irresistible charm. She nodded quickly, as if nervous before mouthing the word "okay." She went in and came back out after a few minutes with a small piece of paper in her hand. She handed it to Robert, her hands almost trembling as she smiled sheepishly."Umm, okay. Here you go." Robert said, giving her a wad of cash."This is too much sir. It's way past your bill." She finally spoke out for the first time, obviously surprised by the amount of money Robert had given her."A tip for your services. Thank you." Robert replied, imm

"Now listen to me, you creep. You are just bluffing and..." The call ended before he could say anything else. He grunted in anger and walked back to where he was before. Raymond had alerted the police officers inside, and a chase had began to get Olivia. Robert walked back to them, breathing heavily."The police are after her." He tried to catch his breath."I know, sir. Let's meet with the detectives at once. I got everything she said on tape.""Yes!" Roberts eyes lit up. "Let's go, then." The two men rushed in back in to the building. Fransisco followed slowly behind them, but when he saw that they were really ahead of him, and wouldn't notice if he wasn't with them, he moved back. He looked from side to side as he rushed out of the premises. Meanwhile, many policemen ran out of the building like a colony of ants, each person dispersing themselves into different cars. Soon, the cars were out of sight. Robert walked out of the building with Raymond beside him. "It's a good thing you

The detective squinted as he looked at his colleague. He turned back to Robert with a stern face before speaking."That is a serious accusation, sir. Are you sure about what you are saying?""Sure? Not exactly. But I really suspect that they might have had something to do with this. About Michael, I do not know how involved he might be. But Sophia? She even went to Juliet's house once to talk bad about me.""And how do you know that?""I saw her leave the house. I tried to ask her why she had come but she ignored me, and left hurriedly. Also, Juliet told me about it when I went in.""Hmm..." He sighed softly as he wrote something in his notebook. "And why would this Sophia want to talk bad about you to your girlfriend?""Sophia and I used to be married. But we got a divorce right before I met my grandfather. After that, she tried had to get back in to my life, but I refused. I think that made her very angry because she said questionable things after, things I didn't take serious.""Sh

"He will be down here in a bit. We should wait in the car, so we can leave immediately he gets here." Raymond announced as he walked down the stairs. Robert immediately opened the door and walked out on hearing that. "Umm... Ryan." He called as he walked towards the car. "Some people will be here later today to do some fixing in here, let them in. They will show you their ID cards first.""Yes, sir." Ryan nodded. He left as soon as Robert waved him off."Sir..." Raymond called hesitantly. "Please, I need to speak with you.""What is this about, Raymond? You know this isn't the time for conversations that are not...""It is very important, sir.""Alright." He sighed and got in to the car. Raymond walked to the other side and got in as well. "What is it?""It's about Fransisco." He paused and swallowed hard. "I... I heard him in his room." Robert squinted with concentration. He didn't trust Fransisco one bit and with the way Raymond was speaking, he was ready to hear the worst."What

Robert didn't sleep the whole night. His eyes were open, fixed to the ceiling and filled with tears in his grandfather's room. It felt like the night would never end, like the torture and pain he was feeling would never end as well. Raymond knocked on the door several times to find out if he was alright, but he asked him to leave every single time. Just as his eyes were beginning to flutter with drowsiness, a bright light pierced through the window. He got off the couch immediately and headed to his room. There, he had a quick change of clothes before heading down to meet Raymond, and of course, Fransisco."Good morning, sir." Raymond said as soon as he saw him walking down the stairs. There was a smile on his face. One that Robert could not fathom at first. "Are you okay?""I'm fine." He said sharply with very steady eyes. He didn't seem like someone who had sobbed all night, maybe because he was very good at hiding his feelings. "We need to go to the station now.""But you've not h

"Gone? Gone?" She asked, totally calm. She was dazed for a moment. She stood still with tears running down her cheeks. "What is gone? What does that even mean?" She managed to murmer."I don't even know what happened. I met the policemen on my way to the house, and I saw her. I saw her right there being placed on the stretcher. And she wasn't moving."She shot an angry eye at him as he tried to explain what he had seen. He stopped immediately and looked down. It was clear that all he was saying didn't matter to her at this point. She didn't want to hear anything."What did you do to my sister, Robert? What did you do to her?" She yelled."No, no. What are saying? I do not know what exactly happened to her. But I will make sure they pay dearly for it.""You, liar. What did she ever do to you? She didn't deserve this. She didn't!" Mary yelled, crying bitterly. She didn't mind the staring eyes that looked in her direction. She just wanted to know why this had to happen to her sister. "

"Police station? What for?" She asked with wide eyes. He couldn't see her but he could already tell the expression on her face. And that was because she sounded just as confused as she looked. "What does that have to do with my sister, Robert? Where is my sister?""I'm really sorry, Mary." He said with a shaky voice. He could no longer contain the hurt he felt. "They don't really know what happened to her, but....""But what?" She interrupted sharply with tears dancing freely in her eyes, waiting gor the perfect opportunity to pour out. She heard what he was saying, but she did not understand. She did not want to understand if it was really what she was thinking. "What are you talking about, Robert? Where the hell is my sister?""Just meet me at the station now." He ended the call immediately. He couldn't mutter the courage to tell her that Juliet was found dead just minutes ago. He took a deep, shaky breath and nodded at the police officer. "I'll be at the station."Immediately after

As he drove closer, he could see bright lights in a distance. He squinted hard to see exactly where the lights were coming from, but he couldn't see clearly. He sped up and was surprised to see police vehicles littered all over the place. He parked his car close by and looked on. He could see some officers placing barricade tapes around that particular area. Thoughts started to fly once more in his mind, and for a moment, his throat tightened. "No, no. Don't overthink anything, Robert." He said to himself and took a deep breath. He got out of the car, and walked quickly towards the area. As he got closer, he thought he recognised the car that was parked on the side of the road. He shook his head in disbelief and got even nearer to the scene. But before he could go past the barricade tapes, he was stopped by one of the officers."You can't come here, sir." The officer said roughly, his hand against Robert's chest in a light manner."What is going on here?" He asked in confusion, stari

Chapter 192: Quick Search
About two hours after Juliet left the office, Robert decided to do same. Juliet suddenly came to his mind. "Isn't she home yet?" He said under his breath. "Why hasn't she called yet?" He picked up his phone from the table and called her immediately. The first time, there was no response. He called again, and still, there was no response. "Well, I guess she's busy. I'll just call when I get home." He stood up and arranged all the documents, piling each on top of the other. He tucked everything under his arm and headed to the car."Good evening sir." The security guard hailed from his duty post."Yes, good evening." He answered before placing the documents in the back seat of the car. He closed the car door and walked closer to the young man. "Umm... Tomorrow, some men will be here to do a few checks and fixings in the building. Do let them in, alright?""Yes sir.""Alright then. Have a good night." He nodded and walked to the car. In no time, he sped off. As he drove down the street t

Chapter 191: Dead And Gone
It was 5pm now. The once blue sky was slowly getting darker. Little golden strips beatified the now grey like clouds. Juliet had a pile of documents in front of her and was working on them with utmost focus. Robert sat right opposite her, doing the same. His eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the glass wall, and then, at Juliet. He stared at her for a moment. He agreed with himself one more time that she was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on. It felt like time stopped during those few moments, and he was lost in the beauty he was beholding."What are you looking at, Mister?" She asked in a serious tone. Her eyes, pinned on the papers in front of her. Robert shook his head with a soft smile, and peered down at his watch."You should get going, honey. It's past five.""Oh!" She exclaimed calmly and placed the pen in her hand on the table. She looked up and met his eyes. "You really want me to go?""If there was an alternative at this point, then I would
