"Please sir, forgive me. I won't repeat my mistake," Peter begged his manager while kneeling over a broken vase at the restaurant.The manager groaned at Peter, saying to him in anger, " You're lucky that we're surrendered by people, otherwise you would have gotten it hot from me, you fool.""I'm sorry again sir.""Get out of my sight!" The manager ordered in a loud tone.It was night already and Peter was done with his shift for that day. He worked as a waiter in one of the fanciest restaurants in the city and always feared losing his job there.Among all the numerous jobs he was taking, the restaurant paid him better. And due to his haste, he accidentally broke its finest vase.With the manager's order, Peter immediately left the restaurant, feeling embarrassed over his actions.It had gotten some wealthy customers gawking at him like he was a fool. Well, that's how they gaze at people from the lower class.Immediately Peter stepped out of the restaurant, he raced down to the hospi
"Please help him! He fell into the river," Kayla, the lady whom Peter had saved, called the authorities over to save Peter. After he fell into the river with that drunk fellow, the others ran away in fear, leaving Kayla alone.Scared, she immediately took out her phone to contact help. She couldn't allow her savior to drown after risking his life to save her from the drunk men. The authorities had arrived with divers, who went into the river to find Peter and the fellow he took along.In twenty minutes, the drunk man who fell into the river was found by one of the divers. He was pulled out and placed in an ambulance.Kayla was on the bridge watching when they pulled the latter out. She thought it was Peter, but frowned when she saw it was the drunkard instead. She didn't let him go free after what he did."You don't have to worry Miss Kayla. We'll straighten him once he's awake," An inspector said to Kayla, as they both watched the man being placed in the ambulance.A worried Kayla
"A mysterious Vast of Fortune? This sounds fishy," Kayla said, showing her suspicion of the letter.But Peter didn't know what to say or believe. The letter has left him wondering if such is real."Fortunes hidden in the city, just for me? What if this is true?" He wondered, staring at the letter.Kayla, who sat beside Peter, noticed the questions in Peter's eyes over the letter.Worried, she took the letter from Peter's hand and placed it aside on the table."Why did you do that?" He asked her, looking.With a sigh, Kayla said, " Look, don't allow such things to deceive you. I'm sure this is a setup."Hearing her, Peter began to reason clearly."Forfeit whatever was noted in that letter. I'm sure it's a trap for the enemies to get you. Think about it. Your mother was killed here in the hospital, and now that you know, the enemy is looking for a way to get you and hurt you as well," Kayla pointed out to Peter, showing her concern for the broken man."I care about your safety, Peter. I
Finally discharged from the hospital, Peter didn't hurry back to his place. Instead, he got himself a cab and journeyed to the address sent to him in the letter. 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?" He asked rhetorically, stepping out of the vehicle and slowly approaching the entrance.His eyes came scanning the environment of the mansion, noticing servants working from the corners, looking at him.Peter felt awkward at first, but he remembers the letter and its content and heads for the door
With that settled, Mr Coleman treated his son to a large feast, feeding him to his heart contain."This is fine, Mr Coleman. You don't have to pack much meal," Peter had said, seeing how his father kept ordering the servants to add more food for him.But despite what Peter said, Mr Coleman wouldn't listen."Look at how slim you are. It's clear that you haven't been eating properly, son," He said, ordering for desserts to be placed beside Peter.Joy took over for Peter when he saw the food. Most of the meals served before him were meals he couldn't dare to get for himself outside or at the restaurant where he worked.This left his heart glowing while eating."The life of the rich," He lip-talked, hovering his gaze about."If I had realized earlier that you were my son, I would have stopped you from stressing yourself out. Just look at you boy," Mr Coleman said, lifting Peter's arm, like it's weak.This left a smile across Peter's face. Though it felt embarrassing, it made him happy."I
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 buying the company and mansion from Mia's family, the bank manager and the authorities left the mansion.Once they did, Mia and her family came drawing closer to Peter."Our wonderful son-in-law. Thank you for saving us," Mia's father appreciated, standing beside Peter."I've always known you were a star. You've made your mother-in-law proud, " Mia's mother said, giggling.Mia's brother pokes Mia to move closer to Peter and welcome him."He has been away for long. Welcome him," Her brother said, along with her family.Mia blushes like a new bride, attempting to near Peter. Only for the billionaire to stun them all."Pathetic!" He insulted, letting out a smirk at them.This left Mia and her family staring at him in surprise."My love, why are you acting this way? " Mia asked, about nearing Peter. But she's shocked by Peter's action. He shoved her hand from touching him, saying, "Don't touch me with that filthy hand, you whore.""Peter?" Mia gazed in shock. Right before their ey
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. Indeed, Italy is a fine place," Peter accepted, while they were heading back to their country in his private jet."What made you change your mind? Was it the bread? " She smirked at Peter cunningly. But Peter wasn't going to allow Kayla to tease him and get away freely. "You may have won this round for now, but I'll win the next, " He promised.Kayla gasped and said, sticking out her pinky at him, "Want to bet? I'm sure I'll win again.""Alright then. I accept the bet," Peter agreed, hooking his pinky with Kayla.They both laughed but found them
