The forgotten heir

Chapter 5

FEW HOURS AGO.

He had himself ready from the suite where he lodges. Every where he goes, there were always servants having him prepared.

The smiles wouldn't wear off his eyes easily as he behold the greatest day of his life. It was definitely going to be the end of his step family as he intends to uproot them once he was declared the heir.

Then he would have access to the file which he had his eyes on, the file which could tear the company down.

This young man had spoken to his father and had promised to be on time for his birthday celebration.

He always carried his diary along with him and the diary was more like a letter to his deceased mother who passed away when he was 8 years old.

This day, he wrote to her that his name going to be heard over the news and he was still unsure if it would be for good or evil.

The last statement he wrote under was;

"They are after me and I'm not safe, every answer needed is in this diary"

It felt like she read every word he wrote to her and missed her often times. Who would have thought sure a tough man would have emotions for anyone. He also has his own secrets and no one knows his true intentions over his family.

He reached for the diary which was on the bed and scoffed at it while tugging it into his bag which was more like a briefcase.

Louis stepped out from his suite as his chauffeur was ready to drive him to the airport. Everyone he passes by saluted him but he only maintained a serious face and left.

One would wonder if he had ever smiled before because only a stern face always greeted them both home and on a buisness trip.

He was lot worst than his father and pampered brat that he lazy around unable to do personal things by himself.

 Louis hasten towards the parking lot, got saluted by his chauffeur who opened the back wing of the car for him to get inside. Just when Louis was about to step into the car, his phone beeped.

The tension on his face could prove he was frighten by the person who called him. He breath in and out and dashed into the car.

The chauffeur darken his gaze at Louis and then swiveled his eyes towards a man dressed in a dark outfit. His scrutinized the stranger and then his boss whose phone kept beeping.

This man in dark outfit was a distance away from the chauffeur and seems to be making a phone call. From his speculations, he was trying to reach Louis but was being snubbed.

"Would you drive or get fired!" Louis snarled and the chauffeur apologized for the delay while rushing into the car. As the car made a pivot, Louis suddenly lurked eyes with man on black wears.

The chauffeur dropped him at the airport and bide his farewells to his boss. This chauffeur left the airport to venture for his place of work when he unexpectedly encountered the stranger who was in dark outfit.

Meanwhile, Louis had almost boarded his flight when he realizes that he forgotten something at the trunk of the car he rode over there with.

He tried contacting the chauffeur but his line wasn't connecting, he couldn't abandoned that vital paper and intended to locate this man.

Louis boarded a cab and gave him the address of the designated place. The driver brought out his phone and glanced at a picture and then took a glimpse at Louis who was in a hurry.

The man's face was similar to the picture in his hand and so he texted to an unknown number.

"I got him"

Once he had sent the message, he began to drive wildly. Louis didn't care how reckless this man drove, all that matters was that he was right in time to catch up with the chaffeur.

Something was strange, Louis noted that the route which this man was taking was somewhat different. He admitted he wasn't familiar with route but he could sense this man was heading the wrong direction.

"Where are you taking me too?" He snapped and the driver replied that it was the shortest route they were taking.

There was something strange about this man that got him nervous and he felt he needed to stop the ride.

"Stop!"

"I'm sorry I can't..."

"I said stop!" He roared eluding his words but the driver only scoffed and increased the gear. He sensed that this man was sent by the people he knew where after him.

He had written their names down in his diary and knew the symbols all those working under them had.

Louis shifted his gaze to this mysterious driver's right eye, he saw a fire tattoo drawn behind this man ear and he panicked.

This action of his got Louis alert and decided to save himself, he grabbed the driver by the neck while struggling to take over the steering wheel.

The driver lost control and began to exchange in a combat with Louis while trying to focus on his ride. The car was going zigzag on the road slamming against other vehicles and derailing from the road. This strange driver was finding it difficult to halt the car.

It's tires screech as exhausts left it. The speedmeter was reading 270.49 mph which was a grave speed. Other road users had to avoid this wild car just not to fall victim of its rage. 

Neither of them were concentrating on the road and out the blue, a big truck ram over their car resulting to it summersaulting, and then it crashed against some road blocks.

These road blocks were created by contractors who were working on the road and had prohibited road user from using that lane.

It was like though Louis had prophesied his death. He acted like one who was scared of no one, even though he was all powerful, there always some set of people who makes him frighten and just as he had written down, everything was in his diary.
