The rejected Son-in-law

Chapter 9: Soon -to-be CEO

“So I am invisible now?” He asked and faked a frown. He really loved the cheerful atmosphere and the happiness he was seeing in the eyes of his Brother.

Charles laughed and Peter just chuckled. “Of course not, but now my son is here, and I am so happy, so I don't really I have your time now, Collin.” Charles said jokingly, and Collin rolled his eyes and scoffed.

“No problem, The two of you should just enjoy your time together and have fun.” he said and smiled wholeheartedly. Charles returned the smile. He was genuinely thankful to Collin because Collin was the one who even noticed that he had a son And started investigating. He was indeed happy that he had a brother like Collin who was always there for him.

Facing peter, he said. “So Peter, you will be staying with me for the meantime. Alright?” He asked to know if Peter was okay with the staying with him, idea. If Peter did not want to stay with him, it won't be a concern, he will just get a superb place for him to stay.

Peter, who didn't even have anywhere to stay, couldn't help but agree. “Alright Father. No problem.” He agreed, and Charles beamed with happiness.

“Nice, we will get to know each other better than And yes, I will have to teach you a lot of things, but that will be for later. For now, let's just rest and chill.” He uttered with joy present in his voice. Peter just smiled at him, lovely.

“Alright then.” he replied simply. He looked around and he didn't see Collin. They both of them were just in their own happy world that they didn't notice when he left at all.

“Where is Collin?” Charles asked one of his servants.

“He is in his room, Sir.” The servants answered and bowed a little.

“Alright. Peter follow me, I know you must be starving, so there is a feast waiting for you. I just hope that you brought your appetite with you.” He said jokingly and chuckled lightly.

The servants around couldn't help but look at the lovely father and son. It was really wonderful and heart touching to witness the beautiful moment between the father and son. Charles Even doubled their salaries for the month and even held a feast for them.

Charles mansion was really stunning. Oh!! His mansion was very astonishing. Peter thought he has seen it all in Collin's mansion, but Charles Mansion was another thing. His mansion was really luxurious. Everything there was all expensive. Charles and Peter Walked until they Both reached the dinning room. The dinning room was really luxury. The leather furniture design was so crazy.

Collin was sitting on one of the chairs. He was making a call, and he had a little frown on his face. Charles noticed it but ignored it. When Collin saw them, he ended the call and smirked. Charles took a sit at the edge of the dinning table, while Peter sat beside him on the right side. A lot of food was present. The chef really cooked a lot to make sure that the impress Peter. Looking at all the food in the table, Peter didn't feel like eating again as he already ate in the morning, but he had to eat as the feast was held because of him.

After some minutes, the food was set, and they were all eating happily. Charles raised a toast. “I am making this toast because of my son. Cheers to all of us.” He said And smiled.

“Cheers indeed.” Collin said and smiled.

“So, Peter, tell me something about you.” He said, and Peter looked at him with a smile. Of course, we knew everything about Peter because he really had his men do a lot of research about Peter, but he wanted Peter to tell him something about his self.

“Well, I am a very optimistic person and yes, I love competition. I easily Trust and Love, but now I don't think I can say that because life has taught me a nice Lesson. I really love business and yes, I love everything that had to do with gaming and cars.” Peter said and chuckled as he chewed on the food in his mouth.

Charles nodded and smiled. He knows that his son has passed through a lot, And thinking about it makes him angry And deplorable. He couldn't even believe that his own child slept on the street for days. Thinking about everything just made him so Angry, and he couldn't help but blame Everything on Stella, his Ex wife. “That's pleasant, my son. Interesting, And we even have something in common. I love gaming too and anything that has to do with business.” He stated and Collin smirked.

Peter nodded and said, “I will be honest right now, I am delighted that I have at least some persons to call a family and a father.”

“Oh dear. You don't know how much this family loves you. You see, I am certain that you already know about my problem on how I can't get a woman pregnant.” He said.

“Yes, I know, Uncle Collin told me.” Peter responded, while Collin just listened to their conversation.

“Good! You see, the fact of not having someone who will carry on my linage and be the heir to my company gave me sleepless night. I know I might look okay, but on the inside I am dying. I don't feel joy at all that's why I channel all my energy in work, so I won't have to think about the past that left me with scars but still before I sleep, I sometimes think until I end up having a very great headache but finding you and getting to know you, has been the most special thing that has happened to me for the past thirty years. Furthermore, I am more than glad to know that I have you by my side, at least to get the feeling of being called Dad before I die. This is just like a dream come true.” Charles said, as he sounded sad and happy at the same time. He was more than happy that he find peter. He was grateful for that.

Peter, who was listening to him, couldn't help but smile widely. “Well I am here now Dad. I hope we get to know each other More and grow a nice bond.” Peter couldn't tell why he Felt comfortable and ease around Collin and Charles. He just knew them personally not too long, but they made him feel comfortable and truly loved.

“Oh, don't worry, I am sure we will have a lot of fun time together.” Charles said with a wide smile.

“You are forgetting something, Charles.” Collin said, and Charles looked at him with questioning eyes.

“Oh, what's that, Collin?” He questioned.

“Oh, well, your birthday, which is going to take place in the next two days.” He said, And Charles nodded.

“Oh yes, I even forgot.” He commented And chuckled. He was so happy to see his son that he even forgot about his birthday and his plan for it.

Collin laughed. “I know, brother. You were just too happy seeing your son.”

“Haha hahaha…. You are right, my dear.” He said and chuckled.

“Well, Peter, my birthday will be celebrated two days ahead. For the past twenty years, this is really the first time I am planning a birthday party but just for you to know, this birthday party is so special because you are here to celebrate it with me. And also I will announce to the world, in front of the camera, press And people around about you. The Soon-to-be CEO of Charles Co-operation and also as my lovely son.” He said, and Peter bit his own tongue accidentally.

He looked at Collin and Charles with wide eyes. “Really?, This soon?” He asked, as he was not really comfortable with that.

“Don't worry, peter, it will be a good thing, Trust Me.” Collin said.

“He is right. You are my son, and yes, it will be a good thing to let everyone out there to know that I have a son.” Charles said with a wide smile. The business and rich men world is a very competitive and dark world. He has countless backstabbers who are jealous of him and yeah his enemies who are happy because he doesn't have a son who will take over his business and continue his linage when he dies. So, he couldn't just wait to announce to the world that he has a son and shame his haters.

Peter thought about it And then nodded in 'Agreement'. “Alright, but how can I be the CEO of Charles Co-operation when I don't even know anything about that?” He asked curiously.

“You are my son, and yes, you are the hier to my co-operation and yes, I am retiring soon, so you will have to take over. “ Charles told Him.

“You don't have to worry about anything because I am here to assist you until you know everything you need to know, and you are balanced.” Collin added.

Peter nodded, “Oh alright if you guys say so.” He said with a little complicated smile.

“Nice, but that would be for another day. Today we will just relax, and you will get some rest.” Collin said.

“Oh okay uncle.” Peter deep voice sounded.

“Just for you to know, son, a lot of known people are attending this party. Well-known families, business tycoons, artists, models and many more. So, it will be a good Time to introduce you to most of them.” Charles said to him and smiled widely. He felt proud.

“Wow now I am nervous.” Peter uttered a little serious.

Charles and Collin laughed at him because his reaction was funny. They both of them knew that everything would be overwhelming for him, that's why they decided to make him feel comfortable with them before they start training him. Peter also joined in, in the laughter. The day was a really nice day. Peter spent a lot of time with his uncle and father. He was thrilled. He couldn't even remember the last time he felt this Happy, and it lasted. Not only that, but he was more than happy to know that he have them around him.

Peter was taken to his room. His room was so spectacular. It had everything he will need to entertain his self. The room was like an apartment. His big walk in closet with thousands of clothes, shoes and more. The bathroom was Big, With a study room. It even had a sitting room and a mini bar. The room was really spectacular. The next day, Peter did his normal morning routine. He spent a lot of time with Charles, who showed him pictures of some people who he was close to. Charles was strongly making his birthday a hit. He invited well-known people all over the world. The press, reporters, and media will be present. He was delighted.

The next day, which was the bday, Peter was a little nervous. The birthday was taking place in a well-known resort around the evening time. The internet was all filled with the coming birthday of Charles. Nobody knew what he had in store for them. Charles Even invited his enemies and backstabbers to his birthday. Everyone kept on twitting about the birthday. A male stylist came to prepare Peter, as Charles wanted Peter to look his best for his birthday.

The resort was beautiful and nice. Soon it was time for the birthday to Begin. The people who were invited started coming. A lot of reporters were interviewing famous people.

Some minutes after that, a black latest Benz immediately pulled over around the resort. Everyone wanted to know who was coming out of the car. The door of the car opened, and then a manly figure came out of the car.

“Oh My God!”
