The surgery was successful before he left the hospital yesterday and the doctor said he would be fine.And what is it that he wants to tell him?Zachary's mind was restless as a lot of thoughts kept running through it.He knew he should have gone back to be with his Grandpa. Although Kelvin had assigned some people to make sure Nathan was properly cared for, he still should not have left his father entirely to the care of strangers.If it weren't for Grandpa Nathan, he would have been dead a long time ago. Zachary arrived at the ward to find his father sitting up. He turned and smiled faintly at him.Even though he looked weak, he did not appeal to him as someone who was dying. A nurse was attending to him when Zachary entered. In a few minutes time, she was through and exited the ward giving privacy to Nathan and his grandson."My Bil

I'm in love with you Zach.Stone waited for him to explain further before taking action."I've just been insulted by this waiter and the manager."Stone's face suddenly darkened on hearing what Zachary just said.Zachary left Stone to sort things out as he headed for the car."Well, I'm sorry to say this. You are both fired. You just insulted the owner of this bar. Next time, be more careful with your choice of words." Stone told the manager and the waiter at everyone's dismay.Shocked, they immediately fell to their knees to plead."Sir, please pardon us. It won't happen again. Please beg the young master on our behalf." They pleaded but it fell on deaf ears."It's too late now." Leaving the duo still on their knees pleading, Stone joined Zachary in the car and it Zoomed off immediately.Zachary had just been informed that the bar belonged to his grandfather and those two had the temerity to insult him. They were more unfortunate that he was not in a good mood.It was 7pm in the ev
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 10. Sent by Emily to spy?
Taken aback, Zachary stared at her confusedly. Did he hear that right? Is this a prank?Mirabel must definitely be bluffing.She saw his puzzled look and nodded in acknowledgement.Scanning his environment, Zachary realized that they were standing by the roadside with passersby throwing glances at them. Feeling uncomfortable, Zachary made to leave but Mirabel held him by the arm."Please, just hear me out." She pleaded. Taking the chance, Mirabel indirectly asked him out."Zach, you know I'm not Emily. The least you can do for me now is listen to all I have to say."Running her hands through her black long hair, Mirabel let out a Sigh."Since you don't want to go back to the restaurant, can we talk in my car?" She said, pointing a white Volvo car parked at the restaurant garage. "Or would you prefer we go to someplace cozy?"Zachary fell silent like he was contemplating if he should accept her invitation or not. Throwing glances at her pleading face.'What does she really hope to achi

Zachary paused in his steps as soon as Mirabel's question came forth. Smiling inwardly, he turned and replied to her."I'm the same old Zach. Now, if you would excuse me I'd like to take my leave. And I would advise you to end that love brewing in you. It would only come to naught. I would never be with anyone who is a friend of Emily."Exiting the place almost in a haste, Zachary did not give her any more chances to speak further.Staring at Zachary's retreating figure, Mirabel let out a smug smile. She was determined like never before to conquer his love, and it was a feat she must achieve. With Zachary's car already out of sight, Mirabel took out her cellphone and glanced at it quickly.Shit! It's 8pm already and her parents would be worried sick that she isn't back. She was yet to reach home since the close of work. This was not usually her route from work but she just decided to drive through the path and she was happy she did. Bumping into Zachary and professing the love she h
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 12. Life of a CEO
At the CEO's office, Zachary was reviewing some documents when Maraya knocked on the door."Come in." He responded, still engrossed in his work. He had come in late to the office because of his health. Even though the doctor instructed him to have a good rest, he still insisted on coming to work. Moreover, he was already better and had nothing to do at home.Staying at that huge house alone was so boring.Tilting his head up, Zachary's gaze met with Maraya's smiling face."Good morning Sir." She greeted, placing some files on his table. Zachary hesitated before replying to her."Good morning Miss Maraya." Maraya was about to read out his schedule for the day when he interrupted her."Maraya? Can you skip the 'Sir' title? Just call me Zachary. There's no need for the formalities."There's every need Sir." Maraya said which made Zachary raise an eyebrow at her. He wanted to say something but she immediately continued with what she was saying."Provided we are still in the office envir
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 13. Use your Woman power
Emily hurriedly left the company as soon as it was the close of work. As the last words Zachary said to her kept repeating in her head, she felt so agitated.'Just know that the next time this happens, you will be fired.'The next time what happens exactly? What does he even mean by that? The worst was that he did not state her offense. He just asked her to leave his office afterwards.As far as she could remember, she hadn't done anything that would warrant being fired. Unless it was for what happened years ago.Sitting at the bar counter, Emily was sipping her hot mulled cider. It has been one of her worst days at work. The fear of losing her job was something she was dreading so much. Influitive oil and gas was the biggest company and losing her job was equal to demotion.What company would pay her as much as Influitive pays her?Restless, She suddenly packed her hair into a messy bun as she anticipated the arrival of Duncan. She had called him on her way because she needed his com

Still trying as much as possible to keep a low key life, Zachary boarded a taxi that took him to the hospital. Mr. Stone had insisted on driving him to the hospital but he refused.Stone was unhappy and disappointed.He was not paid a huge amount of money to just stay at home when he was supposed to always be with Zachary.Mr. Kelvin would definitely get mad when he learns about it.Zachary had seen his frustration and tried to calm him down as he said."You don't have to be pissed off over this. I'm not ready for a sophisticated life yet. I still want to enjoy life as a simple man without the world knowing who I am. I don't want the media hovering around me each time I step out."Mr. Stone had hummed in response, he understood the angle from which Zachary was coming from. Going around the city in a Rolls Royce especially during the day would cause people to raise their eyebrows. They would start asking a lot of questions.Aside from the company and the two other places where he had s
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 15. Zachary in Jail
With the onlookers watching in bewilderment, Zachary was hurled into the police car as he stared at Mr Cedric. Confusion written on his face.Before the perplexed onlookers could bring out their phones in order to take videos, Zachary had already been shoved in the police vehicle.Confused and puzzled he muttered something under his breath. "Why am I being arrested? Surely, I have the right to know my offense.""Quiet, you criminal. One more word from you and I will give you a resounding slap." One of the two policemen shouted at him as he gave him a death stare. His eyes were cold and domineering.Zachary kept to himself after the officer's warning. Since he knows about his right to a phone call, he knows exactly who to call.He was not going to call Mr. Kelvin over a trivial matter like this. He would not dare disturb the old man when his subordinate was more powerful than Mr. Cedric. Soon, they alighted from the car and the two policemen dragged him by the shirt like he was some

“Sir, the meeting will start in thirty minutes.” Maraya informed him before leaving for her office.It didn't take long and the meeting started. After the meeting was over, Zachary asked two men to wait behind. They were the general manager and the assistant general manager.Since John was the general manager, he had to wait behind. However, his heart was pounding heavily as he kept wondering what Zachary was up to.“Sir, you asked us to wait. I hope there's no problem?" The person who spoke was the assistant General Manager, Mr. Vincent.“Uh, Yeah. Please have a seat." Zachary replied to the men while his gaze was fixated at the file before him.Zachary soon lifted his face to stare at the other man. “ Mr. Vincent." He called out.“Sir." The man replied, looking tense. He was also wondering in his heart why the young boss asked him to wait behind.After a deep sigh, Zachary nodded his head and smiled at the man. “Mr. Vincent. I must say that I'm impressed with how you handle your job

Thinking that the lady will get angry, Zachary was stunned to hear her dismiss the matter.“It's ok, I hope it went well?”"Yeah, it did go well before someone came to piss me off.” Zachary replied truthfully. Although he had no intention of telling Chloe about going with Mirabel."What happened?” Chloe asked with concern. "And who's the person who offended you?”"It's a young lady flirting with me. What got me angry was the way she treated the waiter. She was so rude and arrogant. I had to tell her off and left the venue.”"Oh.” Chloe was at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, Zachary decided to change the topic.The duo chatted for a while until they were taken away by the sandman.At the office the next morning, Emily made her way to Zachary's office.

Chapter 116. What do you think?
Stone, who was not expecting such a question, lifted his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. “Ma'am, what did you say?" He pretended not to hear her the first time.Mirabel chuckled and asked the question again. “Do you think that anything can happen between me and your boss?”Stone swallowed hard. He was completely at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, he replied to Mirabel. “I…uh,.. I don't have an answer to that question.”Although Stone really wanted Zachary to end up with Mirabel, his boss was the one to make the choice himself.Mirabel smiled while still watching Stone from the mirror.“Ok, tell me what you think about me? Do you think I'd be good for Zach?" Stone pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes Ma'am, you're a great person and I think you and my boss will look good together. However, he's the one who would make the choice." “Does Zach have a girlfriend? Tell me the truth." Mirabel continued to probe further. Although she had confessed her feelings for Zachary

Swiftly, Emily rose to her feet and raced to the door. “I'm coming, Dad?" Before she could open the door, John was already on his way downstairs. “Come on, let's have our dinner." Without another word, Emily raced downstairs and to the dining table. “Hi, Dad. You're back." John only glanced at his daughter and nodded. " Yeah, what have you been up to? Tell me, did you speak with Mirabel?”Emily instantly darkened her expression when she heard Mirabel’s name.“That betrayer." She muttered to herself.“What did you say?" John inquired. It was him who encouraged E

Chapter 114. Competition
"What do you mean by that?" With furrowed brows, Zachary gave her a questioning look. "Why would your name be on the news tomorrow?""Nevermind Zach, it's just an expression. You should understand what I was trying to imply. Did you not see the way that girl spoke to the maid like she was not a human being? That was not fair and I could no longer stand the sight. If I were to stand up for the maid and confront her, she might insult me and I would be able to take it."Zachary was silent for a while before saying to her."Emily was your friend for so many years before you guys fell apart the previous night, did she not demean people before your presence?"Emily was rendered speechless."Ugh, actually Zach…""You don't have to answer that." Zachary didn't let her finish before cutting in."Well, I'm sure that you're no longer in the mood for the dinner party. I'll go look for my grandparents and inform them before we leave."Mirabel nodded in approval. Indeed, she was no longer in the

Chapter 113. Another version of Emily
Zachary lifted his face to see a gorgeous young lady staring down at him. She was smiling at him as she stretched forth her right hand to shake him. Zachary didn't need to confirm her question because everyone was already talking about him. "My name is Alice and you're at our home. Mr Ferdinand is my grandpa."The Ferdinands had called for a dinner party and invited only the elites in the city. It was a way of building a network and for business expansion. Zachary was only there because his grandfather invited him. He didn't know a lot of VIPs. All the people he had had business contact with were confused to see that Kelvin made him the new CEO. To them, it seemed that Zachary just came out of nowhere and was made the CEO of such a reputable company.However, they could not question Kelvin's decision. It was only the staff who knew the relationship Zachary had with Kelvin. Although they wouldn't dare run their mouth for fear of being sacked.Rising to his feet, Zachary shook the you

Chapter 112. Long lost grandson
Zachary and Mirabel were approached by Kelvin as soon as they alighted from the car. Zachary's car was initially refused access to the residence until he called Kelvin and it was confirmed. The security guards stared at Zachary in bewilderment and wondered how he was suddenly related to Kelvin, the richest man in Texas. They knew Kelvin because their boss had had some contact with him. And the social media also portrayed him as the richest which was quite true.Kelvin reached out and hugged his grandson. After they pulled out of the embrace, Zachary introduced Mirabel to him."Grandpa, This is Mirabel, my…""Your girlfriend." Kelvin helped him to complete the statement with a broad smile on his face. Mirabel was already blushing from the initial compliment Kelvin had given to her. She hurriedly ended the call with Emily when Kelvin started throwing compliments at her. Hopefully, Emily didn't hear any of it or she'd get more jealous. 'So what if she gets jealous. That's her problem n

Chapter 111. I was wrong
"That person looks like Mirabel." Emily muttered from under her breath. As she turned to look closely at the type of vehicle, the car had already started leaving. However, she was able to catch the plate number and deduced something. It wasn't Mirabel's car. Moreover, she drove her car by herself."Whose vehicle was that?" Emily tried to think of where she had seen that exact vehicle."Yeah, I remember now. I'm sure I've seen that plate number somewhere and it matches with the color of the vehicle I know. Oh! It's Zachary's. I've seen him exit the company in that same car."Emily was stunned at the discovery. "What would Mirabel be doing in Zachary's car when she has her own. Moreover, where were they going?"Emily was trying so hard to find out what was really going on. Mirabel had earlier told her that they were not in a relationship yet. However, it looked like they were going to some kind of party together."Yeah, that's it. I'm sure Zachary had asked her to accompany him. It only

Chapter 110. Most beautiful girl in school
Zachary descended the stairs in style. He was dressed in a black notch lapel suit and black shoes to match. He had a pair of glasses on his right hand while his left hand was inside his pocket. He looked dashing in his outfit and quiff hairstyle. Mirabel could not help but gape at the young man as he marched towards them.Following Mirabel's gaze, Nathan saw that it was Zachary approaching. He stared at the young lady and to Zachary before clearing his throat, distracting Mirabel.Mirabel smiled and turned her face away, a blush making its way on her face. She was happy that the man had been distracted from probing her to answer his question."Ofcourse, everyone in our class knew Emily. Infact, she was popular in the whole school because she thought she was the most beautiful girl. However, that wasn't entirely true because there were other girls whose beauty superseded hers."Zachary glanced at Mirabel and continued. "Dad, Mirabel is our guest and you shouldn't be asking her such kin
