The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law

It was a sunny day and the city of Rochester was busy, the sound of sirens and car horns was heard buzzing around the beautiful city. People sauntered back and forth as they all headed to their various places of duty.Since the hospital was not from where he was, Alex decided to run. Alex was seen running faster like someone being chased by a lion. He was sweating profusely. His heart was beating fast and was like it was about to burst out after he was informed that his daughter Naomi had an accident on her way to school.It was his job to always take her to school but his mother-in-law Mrs. Charlotte Williams had sent him on an errand that morning to deliver a package to someone at the restaurant and he had left early that morning and didn't take his daughter to school.His wife Claire has always been a busy woman and never cares to take their daughter to school, Claire and Alex have been married for three years. Alex lives with his in-laws. He had endured a lot of humiliation and e

Alex took a cab to Hudson Avenue where the hotel is situated, Davis hotel is one of the biggest hotels in the city of Rochester, when he got to the Davis Hotel, he was not allowed to go inside because of how he looked, Alex was still dressed in his old clothes and had not changed. He tried several times to reach George and he was still unreachable, Alex felt devastated. He needed to find the money immediately so he took another cab to Lake Avenue to see Roland McCartney. He arrived at Roland's apartment and when he knocked Roland’s wife Catherine came out and she told him Roland travelled, but he saw a man that looked like Roland inside the apartment and he remembered he saw Roland's car outside. He left and stood outside the building, he waited patiently and after a few moments, he saw Roland coming out of his apartment and entering his car. He went close to Roland's car when it was about to move but Roland ignored him and drove away.Alex's expression entwined from pain to hatred.

He adjusted a bit, to get a glance of the person standing before him and before he could see anything, a man bowed his head downward before him. The man was as young as him. “Young master, we have been looking for you.” The man said. Alex was surprised by the man's attitude and he abruptly stepped back, while looking at the man. “Who are you?” He asked curiously. Alex was trying to know who he wasn't and to be sure the man had not mistaken him for someone else. “Young master, my name is Andrew Cooper, I'm your Grandfather's senior butler.” “ My Grandfather,” Alex asked as he laughed out loud. He was engrossed with several conflicting thoughts, he was still wondering if the man standing in front of him knew what he was saying. He didn't have parents and even the people who adopted him at the orphanage returned him after a few weeks because of his quietness and his unwillingness to cooperate at their homes. He thought maybe one of his adopted family had remembered him. He w

The people stared at each other, and there was indistinct chatting from the crowd. Everyone was still staring at Alex. Mr. John called on his son Alex and he walked towards where Mr. John Davis was standing he took off the hat and sunglasses. The chatting from the crowd was heard buzzing around.Claire was dumbstruck at what she just saw, she couldn't believe the man she disliked and chased out of the house, was the grandson of her boss. Her heart was beating fast, she felt like collapsing. Her legs were heavy and quivering in fear. Whilst Henry Walker instantly rolled his eyes in shock.He trembled in fear, his heart pounding fast and his leg quivered in the unknown, fear crept deep into his heart as he got engrossed in a dumbstruck state.Claire tapped Henry with her hand. Alex stared at the two of them and understood the expression on their faces.Alex cleared his throat and said. “ I would like to thank all of you for a job well done, the company has gained popularity and the s

Alex got back home and was still not used to being a billionaire. He looked around the mansion and tears welled his face. Andrew looked at him " Is everything alright young master?" He asked to get his briefcase. " I am fine, Andrew. Thank you."" You are welcome. What will you be having tonight?" He asked looking at his face " No, I am not hungry. I will just take a shower and go to bed." Alex replied waking like he would fallAndrew noticed it and rushed towards him as he broke down in tears. He patted him on the back "Everything is alright now. What we all need to do is move forward and forget all about the past." He said comforting, AlexBut he wasn't ready to forget the last just yet. The oan he went through, the hate, the hurtful words, and the ridicule were a constant reminder of the life he had lived for the last couple of years. Andrew noticed he was sober and decided to live with him. " Can I have a glass of wine?" Alex asked staring at Andrew who was not sure letting him
