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 glowed in the light. It was decorated with a few carefully chosen items - a crystal ashtray, a collection of expensive-looking things, and a set of coasters made from hammered copper.
On the other side of the room, a fully reserved bar took center stage. It was made of rich dark wood, and stocked with every type of Liquor possible. A set of crystal glasses glimmered on a silver tray next to the bottles, and a collection of bar tools was arranged neatly in a wooden caddy.
The furnishing and decorations all complimented each other perfectly, creating a space that was both functional and stylish. His room was like an apartment in the house where he now stays, he could afford anything he wanted. As he opened the window in his room to see the beautiful view, his car was already parked waiting to take him to his meeting with the CEOs.
He immediately heard a knock on the door and he replied.
“ Yes, who is there,” Alex asked.
It was his cook, Mrs. Agatha. Mrs Agatha was an aged woman in her late 50s. She was really nice to Alex and served him. She was here to remind him of his meeting and ask what he wanted for breakfast.
“ Good morning sir,” Mrs Agatha said with a smile
“ Good morning ma Agatha” he responded immediately.
“Hope you slept well,” she said with a smile.
“ Yes, I did,” Alex replied.
“ Your meeting will be in 2 hours’ time,” Mrs. Agatha told Alex.
“ Sure I remember, I will take my bath now and get prepared in no time,” he said.
“OK, sir. What would you want for breakfast?” Mrs Agatha asked.
“Make me a cup of coffee with toast and bread. Alex answered.
“ Okay, Sir, I will make exactly what you want,” Mrs Agatha said before leaving.
Alex took his bath, got dressed, and went downstairs to have his breakfast. He looked very rich and expensive. He was putting on nice ironed trousers and a well-fitted long-sleeve shirt and a tie. His shoes were shining black and were not resistible by anyone.
As he walked out of the house, his personal assistant was already outside waiting for him with his driver. His driver opened the door and he entered. They drove straight to the meeting. As he entered, people were so surprised to see him. They all knew Mr Morris would be retiring but did not know who he would be handing over his businesses and company to.
“ I think we have a new person in our means,” someone from the crowds said.
Just before anything. The master of the ceremony climbed the stage. To introduce Alex Brendan.
“Good morning distinguished guest “ the MC greeted.
“ With us today, we have the new CEO of The Royals company. An heir to the Brenda family”
“Mr. Alex Brenda”
The congregation all stood up to welcome Alex with a round of applause. Alex with all forms of humility stood up, weaving his hand. He was called out for his presentation.
Alex finished giving his outstanding presentation at the annual CEO meeting and went back to his seat. He spoke excellently and was greatly applauded. He has never been given this acknowledgment and respect before.
He was happy his life had changed and things were now going well for him.
After the meeting, he got different people trying to greet him and get familiar with him. Just before he went out he saw Flex, his ex-wife's husband, and his former friend.
Flex was representing the CEO of the company he worked for as a civil engineer. The CEO was in the country at the moment, and Flex was asked to represent him. He was privileged to attend the annual CEO meeting in Los Angeles. He was there when Alex was greatly welcomed and he was surprised. This just brought about the confirmation of what his wife told him.
He summoned the courage to walk up to Alex. Alex on the other hand saw him coming close and went straight to join his driver who was already waiting for him outside.
“Good Afternoon Alex” Mr Felix greeted.
“ Yes, Good afternoon” he replied looking at his wristwatch with the look of I don't have time to waste.
“ Can I have a word with you?” Felix said.
“ No, if you want to see me, book an appointment with me through my secretary. She will give you a date and a time you can come to see me if it's important. I have things to do now.
Flex was shocked by the reply Alex gave him. He used to be known as a poor man and someone who could barely talk to him in such a manner. He didn't know how Alex was now the CEO of The Royals
Alex is one of the top shareholders of the company he works for. He was about to ask him some questions but was shocked.
“ Okay Alex, I will stop by your office tomorrow,” Flex said still full of shock.
“ Bye for now,” Alex said before entering his car.
As Alex entered his car. He just knew this was the beginning of his revenge. He will make Mr Chris, his family, and all who caused him pain pay for it. He must take revenge and make them come back on their knees begging for forgiveness.
“ Sir, you have another meeting with some client from Canada,” Victoria his PA said.
“ Okay, Josh take me to Top suite. I have a meeting with some client in 20 minutes. Alex told his driver Josh.
“ Okay, Master” I am heading there right away. Josh responded.
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
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 minu
