Putting on dark blue long-sleeves, well-ironed trousers, and an expensive pair of shoes, Alex stepped out of the room making his way to the exit of the hotel. He went straight to the garage before sliding into his car and making his way to Nebular Enterprise. On getting to the company, he was shown where to park his car before he made his way into the company. Unlike the previous day, he decided to pass through the man's door. As he walked, everyone minded their business no one greeted him either as they didn't know who he was. When the president of Nebular Enterprise heard that Alex had gotten to the company, he rushed out to meet the man and cussed inwardly that he wasn't told on time. Right from the gate, he should have waited for the young master. "Good morning, young master. Welcome," he paid his obeisance with a bow."Mr Isaac Nathan?" Alex asked and the man quickly nodded. Even though the man was in his late thirties he still bowed to Alex seeing that he was the young maste
Like the twinkling of the eyes, it was two days already, the day of the banquet. Although Alex had promised to go to the banquet, he was still lazy about it. Still, he prepared for it, dressing in a black sleeve, black trousers, and black shoes. He wore his 24,000-dollar Rolex watch and picked up his car keys before heading to his car. Alex, putting the radio on, nodded his head to the beat of the music as he made his way to the address on the invitation card. He had gotten a few messages from Isaac reminding him that the banquet was today, and still got a call this evening asking if he would still be attending it. He assured the man that he was there.He stepped down from the car before handing the car key over to the Valet who proceeded to help him park his car. Alex fixed his cufflinks properly before making his way to the Edward family villa where the banquet was being held. The cool evening breeze caressed his face and a small smile appeared on his lips. Alex walked majesticall
Alex's gaze remained at the two people till they disappeared into the banquet, he shook his head before walking towards the entrance. Standing by the door were two hefty men who had a stone look on their faces. They were dressed in all black and they stood as bodyguards. "Your invitation card," One of them said to Alex when he was about to walk in, making Alex pause on his track. Alex looked at him and raised his hands indicating that he didn't have an invitation card. He had left the invitation card with Isaac that day after checking out the address and all that he needed. He didn't think there was a need to come with an invitation card since he was a VVIP here. "You can't go in without an invitation card," the other guard replied. "Well, what can I say? I have come mainly to freeload," he smirked. The people around him who were making their way into the banquet couldn't help but pause and look at Alex in disdain. "Just look at him? Isn't he even ashamed to say that out loud fr
Seeing who it was that had yelled from behind, the guards quickly stopped their actions and when the man got to them, they bowed their head in obeisance.“Sir!” The man who had just showed up was Isaac, he ignored them and rushed to face his young master, Alex, before giving him a deep bow,“Young master,” Alex nodded with a smirk when the saw the look of shock on the guard’s face.“I’m very sorry for showing up late sir. There was an issue at the company that needed my attention. Sir, you see the—“ Isaac was cut off by Alex who waved his hand in front of him “It’s okay,”“Young master, why aren’t you in yet? Did they give you a hard time?” it was obvious so Alex didn’t need to say a thing. The guards gulped when they saw the anger in Isaac’s eyes.Isaac glared at them for causing a hard time for his young master and the guards cower in fear. They knew Isaac very well but weren’t familiar with Alex. It was a shock to them that Isaac had bowed to Alex and not the other way around.
Alex finally went in with Isaac walking behind him. He looked around the hall and was excited when he saw the delicacies that had been prepared for the occasion. "Isaac, let's go sit there," he pointed at a corner close to the window. The place was secluded. They both made their way to the table, Alex sat and Isaac sat opposite him. They hadn't sat for long when Alex gestured for the server to come forward. He took a glass of wine from him and demanded his own food along with Isaac's food. The server quickly went to get the food before coming back with two trays of different kinds of food. When Alex saw it, his eyes glowed as they followed the food. He quickly folded his sleeves up before taking off his wristwatch, he handed it over to Isaac who took it from his young master and placed it inside his pocket. "You must be full?" He asked Isaac who wasn't touching his meal. "Yes young master, I ate before coming over," "Oh really? Too bad," Alex responded as he dragged the tray of
“So what are you?” A lackey?” “Hey! Hold your mouth there. We are not in the streets where you can speak as you like, this is the Edwards family house You dare not spit nonsense here,” “A lackey it is,” Alex nodded his head as he said these words causing the man's anger to skyrocket. The man wanted to speak but Alex intruded,“What's the name again…? Huh… Damn it! Can't seem to remember. Anyways, I always seem to forget unless things,” Isaac pressed his lips together to stop himself from bursting into laughter. Thomas gritted his teeth in anger. He had seen Alex when he was having issues with Jean and her partner and he was excited that he didn't have to deal with him, but it looked like he'll have to handle the man by himself. Meanwhile, Alex had returned his attention to his food as he began to eat again. The people around began to whisper amongst themselves. They could help but feel anger inside them as they saw how Alex was eating free food in a party he didn't bring any gif
The guests stood stupefied, even Isaac was shocked at his young master's words. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry because he knew that if it was money for a gift, Alex could buy a lot and still not lack money. He stared at the man who was pissed that his food was taken from him and not even at the insults the guests were pouring at him. He even went as low as calling himself a freeloader. “Who said that?” A voice rang throughout the hall. The people gasped when they saw who was coming through but Alex didn't flinch. He sat there comfortably even when others were standing. And that was one reason he didn't see who was coming.Thomas was quick to point his finger at Alex. He was so happy that someone from the Edward family has finally come to deal with Alex by himself“This arrogant man!” Thomas spat as he continued to point at Alex.Alex sighed, shaking his head when he finally saw who it was that had come to stand before him. He had thought it was someone important that he coul
“I told you he came here just for food,” Thomas said to the head of the Edward family. The old man was fuming in anger as he continued to look at Alex whose eyes weren't even on him. His eyes were on Kenneth and Thomas, he had asked them a question after all. “Young man, just apologize and let this go. You don't want to mess with the wrong family,” one of the guests said but Alex shrugged as he got up from his chair, “I don't see why I should apologize. I haven't offended anyone. All I came to do was eat but they came here and took my food and my drink. It wasn't fare at all, so they are at fault, why should I apologize?” He asked with arched brows. The old man flew in a rage,“You sick boy, do you know that I can throw you in jail for this? You… you…” “That's enough. I am not going to apologize on any basis you drop at me. I won't apologize for no reason,” he straightened his shirt before saying to Isaac,“Let's get out of here. Seems we have overstayed our welcome,” Isaac stoo
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
