The Trillionaire's Revenge

Chapter 4

Alex ignored the call at first, but the caller kept on calling. He was so lost in thought.  After a while, he picked up his phone. 

“ Hi,” Alex said. 

“ Hello Sir Alex,” a strange voice said 

“ Who are you and how can I help you” Alex said out of curiosity. 

“ I am Derick, I have been sent by your Grandfather Mr. Morris, it is time for you to take your full right as an heir to the BRENDAN FAMILY, take over his possession, and take control of his businesses’’. 

“ My Grandfather? Heir? Take control of what business” Alex asked in confusion. 

“ Yes sir, you are an heir to the Brendan family” Derick responded. 

The Brendan Company Limited sounds familiar because it was a popular family that owned most businesses and companies in that environment. It's a respectful name and an influential family known by many. 

“ And heir, I don't understand,” Alex asked further. 

“ Sir, I am not in the right place to tell you all that you need to know, I will be in front of your house in the next few minutes, “ Derick said. 

Alex immediately texted the address of where he stayed to the caller. He was curious to know his true identity and see how life would turn out for him. 

20  minutes after the call, Alex heard the sound of the car outside. He hurriedly went out to see who was that and his mouth dropped down in shock. He wasn't expecting to see something like that. A  Black Venza was parked outside. The door opened and a man looked to be in his 40s and was dressed very sumptuously. His outfit was expensive. His hair was black, but we're already traces of white in it, however, it was styled neatly. 

“ Master, I am Derick. I called earlier, I have been ordered  to come pick you up, sir” 

Alex was so surprised and amazed, no one had talked to him in such a respectful manner in a long time. He hurriedly shut the door of his house and followed him. Derick opened the door for him as he walked in. 

“ This is indeed beautiful,” Alex said to him self. 

As he drove through beautiful buildings in an estate. Alex kept wondering how he was an heir to Morris Brendan. And no one told him. He had a lot of questions to ask. He was perplexed. He could not comprehend how he was an heir. 

Alex has never known his parents all his life he was from an orphanage home. He has worked all his life to get to all he has gotten before now. He lived all his life in Los Angeles and didn't have anyone to call his father or mother. 

As the man drove through the high fanatic beautiful building, everywhere was indeed beautiful. It was a secluded estate that was obviously owned by really wealthy people.  The street was indeed beautiful and the streetlights were gloomy.

As they entered the most beautiful house in that estate, Alex was perplexed. He could not hold back himself as he asked the driver. 

“ Are you sure you aren't mistaking me to be someone else?” Alex asked out of curiosity. 

“ Sir, you are the one my master ordered me to pick and you are the heir to the Brendan family” Derick replied with a smile on his face looking through the mirror. 

As they drove into the compound, a young guy and a young lady walked towards the car. The young guy opened the car saying 

“ My master, you are welcome, hope you had a pleasant ride?” He said bowing down. 

This act made Alex more surprised, me master? He thought within him. Alex still could not believe all that was happening to him. He never thought anyone would ever show or give respect to him because he was poor. He thought everything was a dream and was actually waiting to wake up back to reality. 

“ Yes, I had a great ride” he replied surprisingly. 

“ Your grandfather has been waiting for you. Come with me, master” the young guy responded. 

As Alex walked inside the house it had a gorgeous abode welcomed with a grand and gleaming door. It excludes comfort, softness, and silkiness. It excites every sense from smell to touch. It was a gorgeous abode with a grand entrance and a warm invitation to call home. 

As Alex walked through the staircase up to the room where his grandfather was, he could still not comprehend everything that was going on. The young man led him through into the room where his grandfather Mr Morris was seated. He saw an elderly handsome-looking man who could be said to be in his late 70s dressed in an expensive shining outfit.

The man at the sight of Alex, struggled to stand up to give Alex a welcoming hug. 

“ You are welcome, my grandson. I have been longing to see you” his grandfather said. 

“ Thank you, sir” Alex respectfully but still in a bit of confusion. 

The Elderly man then gave a sign to the young man that brought Alex to excuse them and shut the door behind them. 

“ I am Mr Morris Brendan, your grandfather,” Mr Morris said. 

“ I know you are full of curiosity and have questions to ask” he added. 

“ Your parents died in an extensive motor accident some years back. when you were just a year old at that time. Before we got to the scene, someone picked you up and we couldn't find you. I have been looking for you for years now. Only to discover that you were taken to an orphanage home” Mr Morris explained. 

Mr Morris have anticipated this day for so long. A day when he  will completely hand over all your father business and company to his grandson. He will now take full charge and custody of everything. All business will be runed and managed by Alex. 

I am glad to see you now.”!Mr Morris said with a smile.

“You have grown into a man now and I am happy about that”. 

“ I have been running your father's business, and companies since I lost him. I am old and need to rest. It is the right time you start to run them, I am pretty sure  you will do a great job in running then” 

“ We have business in the country and also abroad. We also have investors and partnerships with top brands,” he added. 

Alex could not still believe reality, he had been waiting for this dream to come to an end. 

“ how do I go about all these? I don't know anything about handling or managing a company. I have never managed one before” Alex told his grandfather. 

“ That would not be a problem, we will take each step at a time. You will have a personal assistant that will be putting you through for the now and also assisting you” 

“ I will also be here to show you things you need to know and answer your questions,”  His grandfather said with a smile 

“ But first you will need a change of wardrobe, the CEO and heir to the Brendan family can't be seen dressed in a less expensive outfit, “ he said. 

“ I don't know if I have the money to afford an expensive outfit for now,” he said immediately. 

“ Money is not a problem, you will not need to complain about money again, you are an heir to Brendan and a trillionaire now,” he said smiling. 

Mr Morris picks up the dialer in front of him and makes a call before Alex can utter a word. 

He got a message on his phone. A credit alert of $100,000,000. 

“$100, 000,000, I can not believe my eyes. Just to get a change of clothes? ” Alex shouted out of amazement. 

“ That is for your change of clothes, at least for a start,” he said. 

“ Your driver will be downstairs, waiting to take you for your wardrobe shopping in one of the big designer shops in town ” Mr Morris added. 

“ A driver, I have a driver, “ he asked very surprised 

“ You have a driver and a personal assistant. They will be downstairs to take you there” Mr Morris told him. 

“ I would want you to do something for me, at least now that you are here,” Mr Morris said with a smile.
