Prepare to attend the forthcoming CEO annual meeting in 3 days' time. As you will be representing the company.” Mr Morris said
“ Me…. represent your company?” Alex asked
“ No grandson. Representing your company “ he corrected him with a smile.
“ You are the new CEO now, and everything will be run by you. He added.
“ You can go now, they are downstairs waiting for you,” he added.
“ Okay, grandfather “Alex responded.
Alex had never felt this way in his life. He had so much joy and happiness in him that he could experience wealth and luxury. He is now a trillionaire and owns many businesses and companies. An heir to the Brendan family. Having all the power, wealth, and influence.
He just had a flashback of how poverty made him lose his daughter. How he got a lot of humiliation and insults because he was poor. Now he has the influence, money and power in his hands. Now he can get revenge on people who caused him pain and suffering.
Alex then left the room where his grandfather was to meet his driver and personal assistant downstairs. As he walked toward the car in front of him, the door of the car was hurriedly opened by the driver. It wasn't the same man that brought him. Neither was it the same car. His own drive was a young man in his late twenties. A tall handsome-looking young man.
“Welcome Master Alex. I am Josh your drive” he greeted.
“ And she is Victoria, your personal assistant,” he added.
Victoria, his personal assistant, was a young, tall, beautiful, light-skinned lady. She should be in her late twenties too.
“ Good day Master Alex” Victoria greeted with a smile.
“ Call me. Alex, he said immediately.
“ Sir, I am sorry I can't call you by your name. You are my master and I work for you” Victoria replied.
Josh went further to open the door of the car as Alex went in. He drove to one of the most expensive designer stores in Los Angeles.
As they arrived at the store, Josh quickly parked and rushed down to open the door for Alex.
“ We are here Master Alex,” he said.
“ Thank you” Alex responded.
Victoria also came down and followed him behind with her handbag, a pen, and a jotter. They both walked into the store to get some clothes, shoes, and accessories. The store was indeed a beautiful one having different segments for different types of outfits ranging from cooperate outfits, leader, casual, and designer outfits.
The store was a place where only wealthy people would shop. They walked in and the receptionist welcomed them warmly, she showed them around to select nice outfits. Victoria also followed her boss behind to make sure he was satisfied and got a proper treat.
As they walked toward the segment of wristwatches, His ex-wife Vivian and her friend were there shopping too at the sight of Alex they were perplexed.
“ What is he doing here? How does a poor man have access to this store?” she asked her friend.
“ Maybe he works here either as a cleaner or an errand man” her friend responded out of mockery.
“ No, I don't think so, he is with a young beautiful lady too” Vivian replied in curiosity.
“ Or does he have a young girl that spoils now? Or poor girl, only if she knows she is moving with a broke man who is about to finish all her money” she said.
They were left in confusion as they really didn't know which to believe. He came closer and heard Victoria calling him Master Alex.
“ Master Alex, I feel this will look good on you, and it's a new model and only 2 of it have been made. I am sure this will be the second one” Victoria told her boss.
“ Okay, add it to the rest, let's go to pay. I have to go prepare for my meeting” He replied.
Overhearing all these conversations made them more surprised. They never expect to see him in such a luxurious store and talk less about shopping from there.
Alex on the other hand saw them but ignored them. He knew he had power, money, and influence he would get revenge. He walked straight to the cashier to pay for the things he picked up. He brought out his card, paid, and walked out of the store. His assistant was behind him, with the things he chose. We went out of the store and headed straight to where his car was parked. His driver immediately opened the door for him.
Vivian still couldn't believe her eyes, how would his just change all of a sudden? She immediately rushed to Alex’s car which was about to move. She stood in front, giving the driver a sign to.
She moved towards the the back seat where Alex was seated.
He immediately whine down the door glass and asked her
“ How may I help you” Alex asked pressing his phone.
“ Alex, how are you?’ she asked with so much fear.
“ How may I help you?” Alex asked again.
“ I have things to do with my time if you don't have anything to say” he added.
Alex immediately whined up the car window and asked his driver to move. They left Vivian there, she was so embarrassed.
“ This is just the beginning,” Alex said to himself as his driver drove.
Vivian was embarrassed and stylish and walked into the store to meet her friend, she could barely utter a word. She then told her friend that they should leave immediately.
Vivian immediately drove back home to tell her husband whom she saw at the store.
“Babe, babe you won't believe who I saw today at the store,” she said to her husband Flex.
“Who?” he asked out of curiosity.
“ Alex, my ex,” she told him.
“Does he work as a security there now?” Flex asked further.
Secur….., what? He was there to shop, Alex was in a Bently car with his personal assistant and a driver too” Vivian told him without waiting for him to finish his sentence.
“Are you sure? A Bentley. I really can't believe that. He could barely afford food before now he is in a Bentley? ” Flex chuckled.
“Yes, my love. Alex is definitely rich now, I must acknowledge that.
The day came for Alex to attend the CEO meeting his grandfather told him about. He has gotten used to some documents and some things about his companies and business. Alex was a very handsome and intelligent man. He learned things quickly. He opened the door of his window in his new room. His room was large and open, with a wide ceiling and windows that floored the place with natural light. The walls were painted a masculine blue that discerned beautifully with the shady hardwood floors. The furniture was elegant and stylish crafted with the finest material and design with both sight and convenience. A large sectional sofa dominated one side of the room. Upholstered in an expensive buttery leather that begged to be touched. A fitting armchair sat in the corner, a plush throw draped over the back. A huge flat-screen television hung on the wall, flanked by a pair of sleek black speakers. The table was a work of craft in its own right, made with a single slab of polished marble that g
After Vivian had seen Alex at the shopping mall where she went to shop with her friends she had not been herself. She can not really comprehend how things suddenly change for Alex. She has asked herself all kinds of questions day in and day out. “ is this really true”“ Could he really be the one” “ was he rich all this while and just presented?”“ How did it happen all of a sudden “ Vivian was lost in thought is her husband called her attention. “ Babe, what are you thinking of? Why are you lost in thought” Flex asked Vivian.“ Nothing much just the thought of Alex just crosses my mind” she replied to her husband.“ He is now the CEO of The Royals, I still can't believe it. I met with him yesterday at the annual CEO meeting and I was surprised. “ I told you,” Vivian said eagerly. “ Anyways babe, you need to cut down the way you spend, you know we are expecting a baby soon and I am having issues at my workplace,” Chris said moving closer to his wife. “ Stop this, I am not in
“ This is over,” Chris said in agony. Alex is a top shares holder in Mr Chris company and he just pulled out his shares. Business has not really been bumping, begging to secure a contract so I won't go bankrupt and now one of my top shareholders just pulled out. Alex has shares with most of the businesses and companies in Los Angeles and around the world. The Royals was indeed a big name and a well-respected one. He quickly ran to follow Alex to beg but Alex already left. “ pls I need to see the young CEO now, it is urgent,” he said to the secretary. “ Do you have an appointment with him?” she asked “ Not really, I just need to see him” Chris replied “ Then, you can not see him, he is busy now. You will have to book an appointment before you can see him” the secretary replied. “ Okay, can I book an appointment? At most I should see him tomorrow if I book an appointment with him today” Chris asked her. “ No sir, from his schedule. He is occupied. You can only be booked
His secretary gently opened the door. “Sir, your meeting with the Jubilee International is in a few minutes, “ She said. “Okay, I will be with them in a short while," she responded. The secretary shot the door behind her and. Alex turned to Flex.“Now you heard I have a meeting with some client, don't you think it is the right time you left,” Alex said as he turned back to arrange some files on the table.“ Please Alex, you can't do this” he pleaded with Alex. “ You are wicked. You betrayed me, you set me up to be fired. You took my wife. You took my family. You humiliated and insulted me at every point you got. You must really get to pay for everything. Alez said angrily to him.“ That is why I am here to apologize, let's leave those things in the past and build together. I really need your help” He said as he kept on beginning.“Assuming things didn’t change for me I am sure you will still be wicked and cruel to me? “ Alex asked him.“ You don’t deserve any good. You are wicke
He met his wife Vivian arranging her things to leave. “ Wow,” Felix said out of amazement. “ Where are you going?” He asked her.“ I am going back to my parent's place,” She said as she kept on arranging her things.“ Are you not ashamed of yourself? You are just a woman just after wealth and luxury.”“ You used to have a boutique store, didn't you?” “Why don’t you take your business seriously?” “ all you do is shop, shop and shop with our card. Now all the money is finished and you want to go back to your parents.”“ Why don’t you live up to your responsibility for one and face reality? “ I am about to lose my job” “ Things aren’t working out well as before and now you want to leave, I am not surprised you did that to your first husband”“ I have been trying to book a meeting to see Alex just to ask for forgiveness but to no avail, the only time I got an opportunity to see him I was walked out of his office after so much plead” “ You are one of the major causes why things are
“ aren't you tired of living in penury and lack? ” Vivian asked her husband Alex as she prepared to go out on a date with her new man-friend. “This place you call home is not worth it at all. We live more in a kiosk. This place is just too tiny. I am tired of living here” Vivian added. Alex and Vivian had lived together in peace and in luxury, not until Alex lost his job as a civil engineer due to a false acquisition of stealing. Alex now works as a cook in a nearby restaurant just to be able to cater for his wife and their 1-year-old daughter Jennifer. Things were hard and he was just managing to survive. “ where are you going to, by this time of the night, it is 10 o'clock ”, Alex asked Vivian as he carried Jennifer. “ Our child is just a year old and needs your care and attention now. She needs you around” Alex said “ I need to have fun and live the life I want, since you can't take good care of me, let me go out with someone who can fund my lifestyle,” Vivian said flatly as
Alex hurriedly left the hospital in shame after the Nurse humiliated him. The only means he could think of was going to the restaurant where he worked as a cook to request for money. Even though Mr Austin has been an abusive and inconsiderate boss, he was left with no choice but to go see him and request a loan to save his daughter's life.“Good morning sir”, Alex greeted as he worked into his boss's office. “ what is good about this morning “ Mr Austin said angrily “Why are you just coming to work? You ought to have been at work, 2hours before now” “I…l….My… My…” Alex said as he stammered “ shut up you this good-for-nothing man” Mr Austin interrupted Alex before he could complete his sentence.“ you are here to run down my business? “ “ Do you think I am a fool? or you can play those useless deceit games on me?” Mr Austin shouted. I am asking you for the last time. “ why are you late fool” Mr Austed asked in a very angry manner as he was furious. “ My daughter is sick,” Alex
his wife“ I want a divorce”“ I can no longer be married to a poor man like you”“ I have found the right man for me, the one that can fund the classy and standard life I have longed for,” Vivian said all these words as she was expecting a reply. “We just lost our daughter due to the inability to raise money for her surgery,” Alex said. “ You made our daughter die due to your inability to cater to us as a man that you should be. Alex, you are worse than an animal. I can't be seen with a man like you or said to be married to you” Vivian said angrily. Alex was short of words, he did not know his wife could be this heartless. He didn't believe the woman he married would say such hurting words to him. He felt covered with a cloud of sadness and humiliation. I lost my job, lost my child, and now I am getting a divorce from my wife his thoughts widened and he was lost. “ hello. Hello. Are you there?” Vivian shout over the phone. He could barely outer a world. A woman he has loved al
