2024-10-29 19:42:56With his heart racing, Oscar walked into the biggest bedroom he had ever seen, so spacious yet so beautiful. And by the edge of the bed in front of him, a woman was seated, it was none other than Amy Slytherin.
She looked quite young for her age, so beautiful and elegant that no one would assume she'd have a twenty-six-year-old son, her dark hair rested on her shoulder, while her eyes were already covered in tears."Frederick," she mumbled and stood to her feet. She looked away from the paper and let the tears drop from her eyes. She closed the distance between them, and looked into Oscar's eyes."I thought I lost you for good," she cried, her body shaking slightly as she was overwhelmed by the unexpected news."A mother needs no tests to tell who her son is," she added and drew Oscar in for a hug.She sobbed in his arms, the true reaction of a mother who had just reunited with her son. These tears of joy could not be contained, and she could only hold back from screaming on top of her voice.Oscar on the other hand played along and hugged back, he couldn't believe how quickly the lady accepted that he was her son."Could it be the parental bond?" He wondered.Oscar admitted to having felt a sense of comfort when she hugged him. A sense of attachment unlike he ever felt before, maybe she was truly his mother, maybe all of this was real and had returned home."Look at you," Amy uttered, her voice breaking from holding back her tears. She looked at Oscar from head to toe and continued,"You are a man now," she added, touching his face, down to his beard before drawing him in for another embrace, sniffling and sobbing."You were just a year old, when your father went out of the house with you and came back to say that he lost you, Fred." She cried, soaking a part of Oscar's shirt in tears,"I lost my sanity, Fred, it felt like the end of the world. I hated your father so much, and I haven't forgiven him ever since.""I am your mother," she said looking him in the eyes,"I know you don't remember anything, but don't worry, you are back home, to where you belong. Oh... and uhm... I assume you have another name?""Oscar," He replied with a smile, he couldn't help but feel like this woman truly gave birth to him, the attraction towards her despite meeting for the first time was too much to ignore."Oscar," she uttered,"Come here, sit down," she ushered him to sit at the edge of the bed next to her,"Who brought you up?" She asked."Mrs Amy, I honestly..."Mom," she cut him off,"I am your mother, Fred, call me mom."With a sigh, Oscar replied,"The truth is, I don't remember so much about my early childhood. But I knew I was at the orphanage at some point, before working slowly to where I am now. I'm sorry, but... maybe I'm not truly your son." He said.Watching her cry, Oscar couldn't help but feel guilty, yes he was attached, but he did not see the point of making a woman happy over what may not be the truth."I am here because a cop saw that I looked like the AI image, but there are no further tests, what if I'm not your... " Amy covered his mouth with her hand before he could finish."Don't you dare, say another word," she scolded him with a frown."I know my child when I see him, and I don't care what you think, Fred.... Oscar, you are back home and back to stay.""Ma'am, honestly..."I said don't say another word," she interjected,"I don't want to hear it. The maids will show you to your room, you'll sleep well tonight, and we can have this conversation in the morning. Oscar, even if you are not my son by blood, I'm adopting you tonight."Oscar could not believe his ears, this woman was serious about making him stay with her. He was both excited and worried because this would change his life forever."You must be tired, come, I'll show you to your room by myself," she continued and escorted Oscar out of the room. She led him to the bedroom at the far end and asked him to go and freshen up while she went downstairs to make a few arrangements on what he would wear.Without giving him a moment to speak, Amy pushed Oscar into the room and closed the door behind her. Once he was out of sight, she leaned her back in the door and let the tears fall from her eyes."I know that you a Fred, Oscar, and I will not let you out of my sight again." She mumbled before going downstairs."Leo!" She called, and a young man appeared before her immediately."Are these the men who brought him?" She asked, pointing at the chief, and Leo nodded in agreement."Yes, ma," He said."Okay," she uttered and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She walked up to the chief and thanked him wholeheartedly while holding back more tears that threatened to escape her eyes."Leo, give these men, double the amount that I promised, once you have done that, I'd like you to make arrangements with the lawyer for tomorrow. Oscar will be the acting CEO of the company in his father's absence, I want all documents finalised before the end of tomorrow because we will have a brief meeting on Thursday with representatives from the Hudson enterprise. I will teach him all he needs to know.""Okay ma," Leo replied."And please, let everyone know that we have a new CEO, and most importantly, take some clothes for him to wear." She concluded and Leo replied"I will do that, ma, what name shall I give tell them?" He asked."Oscar Frederick Slytherin."

Inside the room, Oscar stood in awe, the sight of what now belonged to him was spectacular, no one would reject a life like this, and Mrs Amy did not even give him a chance to say no."I'm adopting you today," He recalled what she had said and smiled. He tried to recall if he had any memory of his mother. He closed his eyes and tried to picture what she must have looked like but he couldn't remember anything beyond Pere's house."Hmm," He said and sat down by the edge of the bed, he took out his phone and searched for the Slytherin's long-lost son again, and once again those images were shown. He read through the article again, and a few assumptions from the detective who had been on the case, all while trying to figure out if any of them matched something he could remember, but none.He was just trying so hard to see if he truly belonged here, but nothing came to his mind. "I can't let the public know of this yet," He mumbled, unless he was truly their heir, he couldn't let the pub

Oscar woke up, still assuming that he was at home and not the Slytherin mansion. He couldn't recognise where he was for a few seconds, before it finally occurred to him that he had spent the night at the Slytherin mansion. He sighed and got off the bed immediately. He stared at his phone to check the time, and it was past seven a.m. and also read the response to the voicemail he sent to Karen last night.Karen had asked for a few documents to file for the divorce, and he proceeded to send all soft copies to her before walking into the bathroom to freshen up.This has been his daily routine for the past three years since he started working for the company that fired him. He saw three new toothbrushes and cleaned his teeth with one of them before proceeding to take a bath.He had only just gotten out of the bathroom when he heard a knock on the door."I'm coming," He said, and forgetting that he had nothing but a towel around his waist, Oscar unlocked the door to let in a maid who brou

"I was," He replied with a sigh, if only Ellen had stayed back with him, she would partake in the luxury of his current life."You had a family, with a child?" Amy asked, leaving the door and walking back to where he was seated. "No, I don't have a child yet, she left me recently, apparently, she saw someone better, but it doesn't matter anyway." He replied, hoping his newfound mother would drop the topic, but she didn't."You loved her?" She asked and Oscar thought about it for a while, he loved her, and after she chose to be foolish, and leave with someone else, he still loved her. She was his wife after all, and the memories of the blissful two years they'd spent together were still fresh.He was upset but didn't hate her entirely, he was disappointed but did not condemn her, but one thing Oscar wasn't going to do, was get back with her. After he had torn the divorce paper, he wanted to file for another divorce to bring the union to an end.He was quite aware that if Ellen saw him

Both men were shocked to see each other, who would have thought he'd see the man he met at the bar yesterday in Axel City?Before Wades could attempt to shake hands with Oscar, the bodyguard blocked him,"Don't worry," Oscar assured the guard before they let Wades.Wades on the other hand could not believe his eyes, it made no sense that the man who he had seen, and looked incapable of paying for his drinks, was now in front of him surrounded by guards."I didn't expect to see you here," Oscar said with a smile."Neither did I," Wades retorted,"As soon as I left you yesterday, I got into the car and came to Axel City straight up. Do... do you work here?" He asked, and for a moment, Oscar was short of words, he didn't want to explain anything to anyone especially not at the moment. "I uhm... just came for a meeting, I was invited," He replied. "Are you sure? You certainly look like you own this place, if not that you had called my name, I would have sworn that you weren't the same ma

"What is going on?" Leo walked out of the elevator with a worried expression on his face, he saw Oscar's bodyguard holding down two securities to the ground, while the receptionist stood at a distance with fear written all over her face. "Call the police immediately, " she yelled at Loe, who turned to her with an expression of shock and asked, "Why?" "This man is no Slytherin," she uttered and Loe almost slapped himself across the face, none of this would have happened if he had just called her rather than sent a text that she never opened. Turning to Oscar who stood speechless behind the other two bodyguards, Leo apologized, "I'm very sorry sir, please Pardon me, I failed to properly communicate the recent information to her for an update on the executive ranking." "Huh?" Oscar raised a brow, his dramatic use of vocabulary wasn't making sense at that moment "Uhmm, how do I do this, sir this is Natasha, she is one of the receptionists, and uhm...Natasha," He called and turne

Meanwhile, at the Slytherin mansion, Amy Slytherin was having a heated argument with her brother-in-law over the current update. Aiden had gotten the news that Slytherin Empire now had a new CEO, a position that he ought to have taken in his brother's absence, and he was furious. He drove to the Slytherin mansion that morning to see Amy and hoped that the news he heard was fake, and someone was playing a trick on him. "Of course, I made him the CEO, what else do you want to know?" Amy asked Aiden with a quizzical expression, she was seated on the living room couch with an apathetic expression. Ever since her husband disappeared two months ago, she saw how eager Aiden was to take over the role of acting CEO in his absence. Before now, she always felt like Aiden was jealous of his brother's success and would do anything to take what was his. Even though Aston made him one of the senior associates, she couldn't help but feel that Aiden wanted more. If Aston doesn't trust his broth

"Mom! Mom!" Ellen called as she walked into the house, she met her father sitting on the couch with a laptop on his lap."Is everything okay?" He asked her,"Your mother has just gone to the room, it's past 2 pm and you know that she loves to take a nap by this time for absolutely no reason.""Haha," Ellen laughed,"Anyway, is Oscar around?""No, I haven't seen that one since last night, he didn't bother coming back home, as if he knew that I was going to send him packing." His father replied and Ellen chuckled."Why are you looking for him though?" He asked her."Oh, just wanted to confirm, I got these papers from Karen's assistant earlier today and you wouldn't believe what it is." She said and took it out from the brown envelope, before giving it to her father."What's this?" He asked, taking it from her."A divorce paper," she said and laughed,"I can't believe that idiot tore the divorce papers I gave to him and sent me another one today, well jokes on him, I'm willing to sign it

The meeting ended after nearly four hours, it was an acquisition target business meeting, they spent time speaking on the position of their target in the market, and there was so much deliberation on how and how not to begin. Oscar, who wasn't entirely new to the process, stayed silent for most of the conversation. He only said a few things whenever someone asked for his opinion, and that was it. The meeting ended without a definite conclusion, as it was to continue virtually until they reached a final decision. They had to take care of current investors and a few prospective partners for the time being. As soon as Oscar walked out of the conference room, he sighed heavily. He had a lot to learn if he was going to play a good role as acting CEO, because the sooner they found out that he didn't know so much, the sooner they'd use his head. "How was the meeting, sir?" Leo, who had been in his office until five minutes ago, asked when Oscar stepped out of the elevator on the ground f

As he walked into the Slytherin mansion, Nigel couldn't believe his eyes, it looked as if they lived on an entirely different planet because their home was just grand both inside and out. For a moment, he wished to become a member of the family, just so he could visit the mansion every day or even live there. But his admiration of the mansion was cut short when the voice of a young man called his attention from behind. "Please sit down," He said and Nigel nodded before taking his seat on the sofa, waiting for them to attend to him as soon as they could. Mark came to him in less than five minutes and he submitted the papers. Mark signed on to other blank spaces and spent a lot of time reviewing the information on the documents. It has a lot to do with Nigel's contributions to the company handed down directly from the managing director at the London branch, and it was meant to help Mark determine what kind of promotion Nigel was to be given.

Inside the elevator he took a deep breath and waited until he got to the sixth floor. He stepped out and walked his way down the last office and knocked gently on the door. “Come in,” Aston's voice responded from the inside, and without further ado, Nigel walked into the office and met the CEO of the Slytherin Empire staring at a picture on his phone. The expression on his farces was somewhat disturbing, like he had just seen a dead body or a gruesome sight from a crime scene. Looking at him again, anyone could think he was irritated, but Nigel would rather not ask him any questions since it had nothing to do with him, but at the same time he hoped he wasn't being too insensitive. “Good afternoon sir,” He greeted Aston and the CEO lifted his head from the phone and replied “Yes, sit down,” His gaze returned to the screen, and this time, Nigel couldn't hold back his curiosity. “Hope I didn't come in at the wrong time?” “Huh?” Aston raised a brow, clearly he was distracted, bu

They picked up Nigel not so far away a headed fod a garden far-off into the city. The drive was rather peaceful, no one said a word to each other, not even Oscar. The lively moments between mother and son ended and now the depressing moment carried on until they got to the reserved park. Once they got into the park, there were several suits and exclusive restaurants scattered across the land mass, and with the help of Tom, they got a reservation at the best sitting area. It was situated inside the hotel at the park, designed for the elites. As the walked in, drinks were already set on their table, with clean glasses for them to drink with. As they sat down, a waiter approached them to take their orders, and in this place, whatever food was ordered will be cooked and served fresh, and just to make it more exciting and luxurious, the customer were given the exclusive menu, consisting of the most exotic dishes from across the world.

Oscar did not just take Amy out of the room but out of the mansion, she made her get into the car and for the first time in a long while, Oscar was going to drive into the street alone. But Tom having spotted them from afar, signalled other bodyguards and immediately followed them from behind, whilst maintaining a good distance. Neither Oscar nor his mother said a word while they were together, he knew the emotional tumult, he knew that her heart was broken, shattered to pieces. He knew that she wanted to strangle Aston to death and he didn't blame her for feeling that way. Aston was a dubious man, nothing about him was good maybe the fact that he founded the Slytherin Empire. The tales he's heard of this man from Stephen are not ones of he was willing to share just yet, but even though it was not part of their plans, Oscar felt that it was time to introduce his mother to Nigel.

She paced back and forth in the room and both Oscar and Leo watched her without saying a word, she was in a very bad state, and if only Oscar would let her, No was willing to run out of the room to make trouble with her husband. For a woman in her mid-fifties, Amy was quite strong, she knew how to get what she wanted and would go to any length to get it, but with Oscar pleading with her to stay calm and keep the door locked, she has no choice but to inhaled and exhale repeatedly until she was a little bit calm.Suddenly a knock was heard on the door, looking through the peephole, Oscar sighed in frustration, it was none other than the man whose presence had ruined their whole day.He opened the door to let him in, and as if Amy knew he was the one, she threw a pillow at him, one after the other until Oscar came in between them and stopped the pillows from hitting Oscar.

“I see that we already know each other,” Aston smirked, his eyes staring into the eyes of the young man who was supposed to be his son. How quick they were to conclude, how swift they were to make him the CEO in his absence without even knowing whether or not they were related.The striking resemblance was too much to go unnoticed, but most people will argue that it's possible because people look alike in the world and this could just be a sheer coincidence.“Yes, so it seems,” Oscar nodded his head in agreement,“And from what I know, you went missing three months ago, it's good to see you back,” Oscar said and didn't let go of Amy, the lady fuming with anger and Oscar could feel it build up with each passing second. “Well yes, I have been away for a long time,” Aston uttered nonchalantly, and stole a glance at Amy, “And oh, before I forget,” He added and turned around to face Miles.“This is my son, Miles Slytherin,” He said, leaving everyone's jaws to drop to their feet.

Within three days, the drama had subsided, all the Slytherin Empire companies were back to resume operations, and as easy as it may seem it was truly hell for all of them, both CEO and those under him. When Oscar returned to the mansion, Amy had already hosted a party to welcome him, inviting a lot of people to the Slytherin mansion, both within and outside the Slytherin Empire The celebration was grand, and Oscar was delighted to have come back to such a gathering, and he appreciated all those who came to celebrate with him. As for William Hudsons, he had confirmed by himself that Micheal was alive after he noticed that the detectives knew the truth. He tried to conceal it but only went into more trouble with the authorities. He was arrested under several charges, and his company was suspended. Micheal's son was also arrested for conspiracy, and as if that was not enough, most of their assets were confiscated, including their homes and land across west Arcadia. The case ended

“Why do you think so?” Oscar inquired, even believed that Micheal was dead, the evidence was so clear even though Micheal's pictures were not shown. “Think about it sir,” Leo replied, “Mr William Hudsons did not say a word about his son's death until two days after the supposed incident that caused him to lose his life, and while many people think he was grieving, I don't think so.” He came out two days later and claimed that the Slytherins had killed his son, and it had been four days now since the incident and Micheal is yet to be buried, what's causing the delay.” “He didn't see the need to publicize his son's funeral?” Oscar replied but in such a way that it seemed like he was also asking a question. “I thought of that, but Mr Williams is not known for keeping quiet, he announces everything very quickly. Take when he lost his mother for example, the funeral took place two days after, and there was a full life coverage broadcasted on the news, so what makes Micheal different?”

Days turned to night and things were not going well with the Slytherin nor with the Caribbean enterprise, the company clash became a more brutal war, especially after the death of Micheal Hudson. Without any logical evidence, Williams concluded that the Slytherins had everything to do with the death of his son and no one could tell him otherwise. He went as far as suing the Slytherins for murder, but as powerful as the Slytherins were, proper investigations needed to be carried out before the arrest. And in this case, the Slytherin Empire had the upper hand and no action was taken. Oscar was already sick and tired of the travels. Within the past week, he has visited five top political officials, people he never thought he'd meet in his lifetime. He spent more money than he had ever spent all his life, trying to solve the problem at hand, leaving the Slytherin experts to deal with William Hudson, but the suspension was yet to be reconsidered and he never thought it was going to be
