Crash!"
A loud sound resounded throughout the place and everyone turned their head toward the sounds.
"Oops, my bad." A young man dressed rather shabbily said as he hurriedly looked and went to get some cleaning equipment to clean up the mess.
The Young man was Alex, and he was a waiter here at the bar. Just now, an arrogant customer suddenly withdrew her outstretched hands just as he was about to give her the bottle of wine because she changed her mind.
Alex, who had thought that the woman had collected the wine from him, left the bottle and the next thing he heard was the loud crashing sound as the wine fell to the ground splashing everywhere.
He could only keep his head bowed as he hurriedly went to get the cleaning materials. There was a high-end bar and the customers were all very rich. If he mistakenly offended one of them just because of what happened, he wouldn't know how he died.
Besides, this was not the first time he had experienced this. Everyone seemed to look down on him, but then he couldn't care less and had been enduring the humiliation for the past three years.
"Alex, do you know how much the wine you just broke right now is worth?" An angry yell came just as he was cleaning the floor
Alex raised his head slightly to look at the approaching figure. It was the Head waiter, a fat chubby man who always loved to pick on him.
"I'll be holding back two months of your salary, as that's the cost of the wine bottle you just broke." The man puffed angrily.
Alex shook his head as he looked at the man, there was no need to say anything, this was not the first time he had done this, so he was not too surprised. There was a time when he had even withheld his salary for six months claiming he had broken a very expensive wine bottle..
"I see, you have the guts to ignore me," The man fumed seeing the way Alex was staring at him.
"I'll make sure to report you to the manager, and this time I'll make sure you lose your job." He snorted as he walked away in fury.
He didn't know what the manager saw in Alex and no matter how much he tried, the manager refused to fire Alex. Though the manager didn't interfere in the other things he did to Alex, he didn't agree to fire him which left him angry.
Alex shook his head as he looked at the man walking away. He had been facing this ridicule for the past three years so this was not new to him. Besides, many people had ridiculed and disrespected him because of his appearance.
Shaking his head, Alex concentrated on the cleaning, and in no time he was done. Right after he was done, he pulled a chair and sat as he relaxed rather lazily.
It was already late into the night, and he was going to have to work till the next morning. Besides, it was time for his shift so he was doing nothing at the moment.
"Alex, come over here!" An angry roar came just as Alex was about to close his eyes.
Soon, the head waiter appeared in front once again as he looked at him.
"The guests in room 15 need some drinks, you go deliver it to them." The head waiter grinned as he pointed at a service cart right behind him.
"But this period is for my shift, I'm not supposed to work. Others can deliver it." Alex said with displeasure
"You dare go against my order!" The head waiter flew into a rage almost immediately as he glared at Alex, his eyes spitting fire.
"You deliver this service cart to room 15 or you lose another six months of your salary." The head waiter raged.
"Fine," Alex muttered under his breath as he walked towards the service cart unwillingly.
He didn't want to lose six months of his salary. He had already lost two months, it would be heart-wrenching if he lost another six months. Besides, he knew that the head waiter was going to carry out his threat which was why he agreed.
Alex sighed, pushed the service cart, and walked toward room 15. In a flash, he was already in room 15. At the moment, Alex's expression was rather strange as he could hear moans coming out from the room.
What the hell was happening? Why would the head waiter send him to such a place? Well, it was none of his business, he was going to deliver what he was asked to and leave right away.
He could care less if they were having an orgy party. They were all sets of shameless people anyway, so he couldn't care less about anything that happened in the room.
Thinking like this, Alex pushed all thoughts to the back of his mind and walked into the room. Whatever he was was going to end there.
He wasn't someone who liked to gossip. Besides, the others seemed to keep some distance away from him, so he didn't have any friends here at the bar.
"Yeah, faster..."
"Go faster, it's not enough.."
"Yeah, baby,"
"Huh?"
Alex froze as a series of mains drifted into his ears. No, Alex wasn't concerned about the moans, but rather the vice that was moaning.
Wasn't that his wife, Ella? There was no way he could mistake his wife's voice for another woman. Besides, what was she doing at the bar? No, what was she doing in room 15?
The room where an orgy party was going on. Could it be that she was also here to partake in the party? He just couldn't understand a thing as his heart began to race.
Like a robot, Alex turned around to look toward where the moan was coming from hoping he heard wrong.
But then reality was harsh as what Alex saw next directly shattered his soul.
Right in front of him was his wife, Ella lying on the couch naked, on top of her was a naked short chubby man.At that moment, Alex felt his worldview crash as he couldn't believe his eyes. His wife was having sex with someone else. No, he didn't want to accept it, but he had to accept it.He had always thought that she loved him as she was the only one who treated him rather nicely. But then it turned out that it was all a farce. She was a devil under the clothing of an angel."Ella," Alex called out as he was unable to hold back anymore.Immediately, Ella, who was not far from him, shivered violently. She heard the voice and immediately pushed the man on top of her away and rushed to stand putting on some clothes."Alex...Alex what are you doing here...." Ella shuttered as she looked at Alex."What am I doing here?" Alex frowned as his eyes burned in fury."Should you be asking me that question or should I ask you that Instead." Alex breathed in as he tried to suppress his surging a
Alex shook his head as he thought about it. The day before was the end of the three-year bet he had with his grandfather.He had a bet with his grandfather that if he could endure the humiliation that came with being a live-son-in-law for three years, he was going to inherit the family priorities.And yesterday was the end of the three-year bet. He had the intention of revealing his identity as the heir of the Reynolds family to his wife once he got back home that night.The Reynolds family was the richest in the whole of Timberland. He had lost his parents at a long age and therefore was brought up by his grandfather and was directly the heir of the Reynolds family.But then his grandfather had suddenly come up with a bet three years ago and thinking it was ridiculous, he agreed to it without thinking about it. Over the years, he had endured a lot of humiliation and the only thing that kept him going was his wife.Since she was the only one who didn't treat him with disdain, he beli
"Young Master, would you like to go to the company with me?" Albert asked as he looked at Alex who was eating in the dining room."Nope, I'm not interested in going, I want to head to the mall." Alex shook his head and replied."Alright Young Master," Albert nodded and didn't say anything more.He could care less about what Alex was going to do at the mall, besides he was in no position to ask. Even if he asked, there was nothing he was going to do with the information."Alright old man, let's go." Alex sighed and stood up from the dining after some minutes."I'll drop you at the mall," Albert said as he stood up and walked out of the villa alongside Alex.He had come to Orange City to take a look at the companies which were located here. He had been staying at Orange City for the past month and thus decided to buy a villa Instead of living at the hotel which was where he brought Alex to the night before.That morning, he was considering signing a contract with some of the top compan
The man's face changed immediately he looked at the floor and saw the broken necklace."Would you mind telling me what happened here?" The man growled as he looked at the sales girl who was crying."Sir...sir I...I..." The sales girl shuttered not knowing what to say."Talk!" The man thundered as his face was twisted in anger."I....." The sales girl shuttered as she broke down crying even more profusely."I said talk." The man's eyes burned with rage as he said.The broken necklace on the floor was over a million dollars and now it was broken. Instead of her to explain, all she did was to explain."Don't exert the poor girl, she's probably crying out of guilt, I'll tell you what happened instead." The woman spoke up, catching the attention of the man.The man immediately turned to look at the woman. From the way she was dressed, he could tell that she was from a rich family, and judging from what she said, what happened involved her."You see, your sales girl is careless and let the
"Sir, what do you mean?" Lucas asked, looking confused."Well then, I don't think I'm in the right position to answer that." Alex shook his head."What happened here?" Lucas immediately turned to the manager and asked."Sir, the sales girl was careless and she dropped a necklace worth over a million cashing it to shatter." The manager said as he hurriedly explained."Is that what happened?" Lucas looked at the sales girl and asked.The sales girl who was already shocked with how things had developed was shocked to the bones when Lucas asked her the question. She couldn't believe Alex was this powerful, able to make the owner of the mall appear.Though she couldn't understand why he was dressed in such a manner, she secretly made up her mind not to look down on anyone who was dressed shabbily though she didn't look down on him when she saw him first.The crowd were also whispering to each other as the development of the matter also shocked them greatly and they couldn't help but pity t
Alex raised his head and looked at the security guards who had stopped him. These men were too arrogant, was it because they were the security guards of Nebular Enterprise that gave them the license to act like this?"What's wrong, why did you stop me?" Alex raised his brows as he looked at the men."Trash are not allowed in, so get out before we mess you up." One of the security men sneered.Alex's face became dark hearing what the security men said. Who the hell did they think they were talking to? Was it because he had refused to change his clothes that they felt they would be able to talk to him the way they wanted?"Hey, are you fucking deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said?" The security guard that spoke just now flew into a rage seeing Alex ignore him.Alex shook his head and ignored the men, he could be less bothered about them."How dare you ignore us, it seems like you are asking for a beating." The security man flew into a rage seeing Alex ignore him.Alex raised his head
Alex sat on the chair with his legs crossed as he listened to Albert introducing the executives to him one after the other. He watched them keenly as Albert explained to him who they were. Although he didn't have anything against the executives, he was still on edge around them. The executives were on their toes as they bowed slightly once introduced. Hearing that Alex is the young master earned him the respect and fear of them all. When Albert was done with the introduction, he said to the executives, "You may leave now," they bowed and left the office leaving Alex and Albert in the room."I don't understand why you are introducing them to me. It's not like I will remain here in Orange City. I am sure Grandfather will want me to return," "Actually, Young master," Albert cleared his throat before saying, "Your grandfather wants you to remain in Orange City," A frown formed Alex's face. Why? He thought. Albert also was surprised when his master asked that Alex stay behind in Ora
Alex raised his head and looked at the figure who had just spoken, his mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the man."What did you say I should give you?" Alex raised his brows, fixing his gaze at him."I said give me your car!" The man snorted looking at Alex."My car?" Alex asked with a smile on his face."Yes, your car. If not your car, what the hell do you think I'm asking for?" The man flew into a rage."Well, I might as well think that your brain has a little problem and has ceased to function." Alex chuckled."What the heck didn't you just say?" The man flew into a rage."Fuck off!" Alex cussed as he turned, he didn't have time for this thing as he had a lot to do since he would officially resume working at the office the next day. "How dare you speak to me that way?!?" The man roared behind Alex and this caused Alex to pause. He turned to look at the man wondering what exactly was wrong with him, he seemed to have lost some nuts. "Who are you?" Alex asked calmly as shoved
Alex got to work immediately after Evelyn left. The three other families, the Parker, the Simon and the Mark’s family are his next target and he needed to study them too. He wasn’t going to need them as much as the other two families but he still needed to study them so he could turn them against the other two. They were quite interesting and different and if Alex hadn’t trusted Isaac well enough, he could have said there was a mistake somewhere. They weren’t as popular as the Adams and Edward family but they were quite powerful and rich. Alex smirked as the read more about them. He then decided to call Isaac and ask if everything in the documents were true.“Isaac?” he said into the phone.“Yes Master Alex?” Isaac replied.“Can I see you in office?” he asked.“Sure Young master” Isaac dropped the call and Alex waited patiently for him.As well as Isaac knew Alex, he would never enter his office without knocking so Alex had expected a knock and he was right. Few minutes later, a knoc
Alex had woken up late that morning, after his late night a day before. His head banged as he woke up. The effect of the alcohol was just starting to kick in. He went into the bathroom and washed his face and head which relieved his headache. As he stared at himself in the bathroom mirror, he noticed the dark circle and eye bags beneath his eyes. He wasn’t a fan of late night so it definitely took a toll on him. He sighed and got ready for work.Spending longer than usual washing the hard smell of alcohol off his body in the bathroom. He finally steeped out, dried his body, applied lotion and walked to the closet to get some clothes. He settled on a blue jeans, white shirt and blue timberland shoes. He did his normal facial routine and left the room. Alex was concerned about his looks and he believed the three years bet had harsh effect on his skin.He went downstairs, immediately to the dining table. He was starving since he didn’t have a good dinner last night. The chef had luckily
The next day at the Adam’s family villa.The head of the Adams family paced around his spacious living room, trying to calm his anger. News just reached him early this morning about the vandalisation of the family company overnight. He was furious as to why the heir of the Edward’s family would do such a thing.“How dare he?! Who does he think he is huh? Just because he is the heir to some useless empire, he thinks he can ruin my business?!” He yelled again, squeezing his fist in anger. His son, the heir to the Adams family was seated and equally angry. He had wanted to ask his father for money this morning when his father yelled at him angrily and called his names, he then got to know the cause of the father’s anger. He has always hated the heir of the Edward’s family, he believes he is too arrogant, proud and useless. They have fought and argued in past times and the matter was settled by both families to avoid scandals. His father had carefully warned him to stay away from the Ed
Back in Northeast, at the villa where Albert and Alex grandfather lives. Alex grandfather had just gotten off the call with Alex. He sighed as he looked out the window.“Don’t worry too much about him. He is fine” Albert said. He was standing behind Jackson, Alex grandfather. Albert and Jackson are very good friends. Every since Alex father hired Albert, he had taken a liking to him and even made him oversee so companies which he did very well. Their relationship has since grown. They have similar interest in almost everything, loves the same movie, the same sport, the same shoes and every suit companies. They were literally twins but Albert would always respect Jackson even though he had complained countless times, stating that they were the same age and he should just see him as a friend but Albert wouldn’t listen.Albert was more than a friend to Jackson, he was his personal adviser, his personal assistance and sometimes his driver. They have built quite a relationship to be envio
As soon as the cold breeze hit Alex face, he closed his eyes and relished in the cool night breeze. He felt so achieved and fulfilled and a wide smile spread across his lips. He sighed and proceeded to walk to his car. The day has been hectic and he had been working all day, he needed rest and he was going to get it. The chef made dishes for him before he returned from work but he was unable to eat it because he was rushing out to the club, he was starving and the alcohol were beginning to hurt his stomach. He was just thinking about grabbing a drive thru when his phone rang.He smiled as he saw the caller. It was Albert. He had missed the old man especially his tired look every time he had to deal with him. He picked the call.“Hey old man!” he said as soon as he picked the call.“Hi Alex. How are you doing?” he asked with his usual politeness.“I’m very well…..never felt so alive. You miss me?” Alex asked, jokingly.“Maybe” Albert replied coldly and Alex chuckled.“There is no other
His friends anger skyrocketed as soon as that statement left my mouth. Some of them murmured and pointed at me in annoyance while some of them approached me even more angry than before.“And who the heck do you think you are to challenge the heir of the Edward family like that? What makes you think he would agree to you lowlife challenge just to drink with you huh?” they agreed, hitting his chest an pushing him. Alex said nothing but a smirk was plastered on his face like he was glad to successfully make them more angry. His expression added to their anger and they were just about to throw him out of the club when a voice was heard.“Stop!” the voice yelled and they froze. All activities in the club seems to listen to his voice as everyone looked at his table for a while before things went back to normal. Alex smiled, his plan worked. The heir stood from where he had been sitting since the whole drama started and walked to Alex, stopping between his friends, he patted each of them on
Alex walked into noisy space just ten minutes past 8pm. He had taken his bath in a rush and immediately headed out to the bar. The bar was filled with different people of high caliber. The atmosphere in the club wasn’t a regular club atmosphere, it oozed wealth and influence. Alex immediately knew the Edward family heir would be around somewhere. The detailed documents he had read earlier made it known that he would always be here every Wednesday from 6pm till whenever he was ready to go home. Alex had waited this long to come here because he wanted him to get tipsy so getting him drunk won’t be a problem. He looked at the club again and chuckled at the number of rich heirs he saw, they all sat in clique with pride and arrogance. Alex knew the lesson learnt from the outcome of the Adams and Edward family would teach them a little dignity and respect. He took a seat by the bar stand and looked around for the young man. A sharp voice immediately got his attention.“Excuse me?” The voice
Alex was glad to finally get the documents. He had always wanted to get to the root of the five families wealth.“Yea. I attended to Jason already” Isaac replied.“But if I may ask, what does he need so much money for?” Isaac asked.“Just to pay for a little something” Alex replied and glanced at the pages of the documents.“Had you carried out my earlier instruction?” Alex asked.“Yes yes. The men are ready anytime you need them and they pledge their loyalty to you” Isaac replied and Alex smiled.“Thank you Isaac. Just wait till I instruct you further. I would let you know when the men are needed” Alex said.“Okay young master. I need to leave now to attend to some other matters. I would be in my office if you need me” Alex nodded and Isaac left the office.Alex turned fully to the documents before him and opened the documents of the Edwards family. The documents provided details information about the Edward family, their early forefathers, the wealth starters, their first company,
It was just few minutes past three pm and the afternoon sun was at its peak. Its golden ray shined into the room through the large glass view behind Alex desk, casting a shadow on the desk and floor. Alex twirled in his chair and Jason question rang in mind.“Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me and what do you want from the Adams family?” Jason had asked before he walked out. Alex was dumbfounded for a while as he thought deeply about his main reason for having this plan. He wanted equality, he wanted freedom and justice. The “five families” has always had their way and they have had they domination for way too long. Alex knew it was the right time someone put them in their place, someone has to check them and their arrogance. He wanted every person in Orange City to be had equally privileged as the five families. Enough of discrimination and humiliation.“Someone has to and why not me? It has been going on for way too long and it has to stop” Alex replied, his voice cold a
