If his father was truly as rich as the letter says, then he has to see for himself.He sat in the back seat, thinking of what awaited him. His mind is troubling him, wondering if the content in the letter is absolutely true or fake. He needs to know how it turns out; he knows he made the move.But Peter had no time to make a decision. He needed to be there first.At last, the cab stops at the address Peter was given. The poor man looked and saw a mansion right behind a large fence.This got Peter's heart racing."Could this be true?"

As the days and months flew by, Mr Coleman, Peter's father, eventually passed away during a cold night, leaving his entire wealth, empire, and business in Peter's hands.The burial took place during a wet morning, when many rich men who were close to Mr Coleman and now knew who Peter was, sympathized with the young man.Kennedy and Victor also attended the burial, but their faces didn't show any sign of sadness or sympathy towards Peter, who just met his father and didn't get to enjoy his father's love to the fullest. They also got condolences from guests but left once the burial was over.Now that his father was gone, Peter was the CEO of Coleman's empire, running the company just like the way his father had taught him.Anytime Peter found himself alone, thinking of his father, he felt the old man knew his time was near, that's why he had to look for him quickly and train him."I promise to never disappoint you, father," Peter promised.After a meeting with foreign delegates of the

After that day, Peter and Kayla began heading out together.Whenever Peter had nothing to do, he'd call Kayla over and they'd both have fun, talking or heading out to fun places together.Sometimes, Peter would get Kayla to join him on a two-day trip to a different country, for a business meeting. Even though Kayla found it unnecessary, Peter didn't care. He just wanted her to be around him."I will no longer argue about it, Kayla. You win.

I've been trying so hard to reach you, " She cried, showing her fear and worry for Peter."I saw the news about your accident and came running down to the hospital to find you.
