The young man walked towards him and smiled as he lowered his head while he looked at him in shock. What the hell was going on? Why were this people greeting him? Was it perhaps to let him officially welcome him to a gang or what? He thought. The man that lowered his head looked so manly and composed. Even the cloth he was clad in was far more richer than his. It looked as if he was in a very strange world under the earth.
" Welcome sir" the person said and lowered his head smiling.Sir? He thought. All his life, he had never been addressed as a sir! He had never been respected with formalities. What the hell is going on? Have they perhaps mistaken him for someone else? He was just a commoner. A low being. A guy that was still supposed to be in the prison at the moment. A lost guy that had no hope anymore. That was whom he was. Why then would someone just come out of the blues and start to address him as what he did not know and had never heard of? He was very confused but then, it seemed as if he had no one to talk to. What exactly is this that he did not understand? How could he, a commoner be in such mansion? Never in his life did he think that he would ever come into a house like this. How and why he was being respected was what he did not understand." It's very nice to see you again after all these while. Everyone has been anticipating your presence, most especially HER!" He said. Everyone had been expecting to meet him? He was going crazy! He thought and frowned. The way the man stressed the word made him more confused. Who the hell is her that was being talked about? He thought as he saw the man's reaction. He looked so composed and happy as he lowered his head. Maybe the person he was referring to was not bad after all." Her?" He asked again." This way, sir!" He says and led the way while Jack followed him from behind. Why was everyone referring to him as sir?" Why do you all address me as a sir? I mean, it's all confusing. I am just a young being. Have you met me before and…"" Sir, we are very pleased to see you again after a very long time" The man said as they walked more deeper into the mansion while he frowned. Did he not just ask a question? What was this man talking about again? They were pleased to see him? When he did not even know them? When he had never even met them before? When all he was seeing were just new faces? He was very sure that he had never met them before. He was very sure that he had never encountered people like them before, so what the hell was he talking about? Was this how the rich mistake people as theirs when they do not even know the person? Why were they all talking in parables as if they had seen him somewhere before? He thought in bewilderment." Pleased to see me again? I believe that this is all a misunderstanding and …" He stopped abruptly when he almost hit something and he frowned. It was another Golden tiger sculpture. It looked so beautiful that he was already so drawn in the beauty of it. That was the extent of how much he loved art." Young master, it's this way and you have to be very careful" he said and smiled." Oh, I'm so sorry about that, I was just so caught up in it's beauty" he said and walked behind him as he looked at each rooms in awe." Is this the blue house?" He asked again while the man smiled. He understood his point of view. It was obvious that this man had never been in something like this even though it was his due to the kind of life he had lived. If he had not also been told that he was the one they had been looking for, he would have treated him harshly. He did not look like the young master they had been looking for. " No, young master! This is just another mansion that is not the blue house!" He said again and smiled while he frowned. If this place was not the blue house, then where was this beautiful place and who owned it? He had always watched it in movies that such houses belonged to the mafia gangs. What if he had been abducted and he did not know? He thought." Did you just say mafia? You are mistaken!" The man asked and smiled while he nodded as he admired each sections of the rooms wondering if he had actually said that loud. It each had sculptures of animals of different sizes." Then, where are we?" He asked again." You will get to know later," he said and smiled as he admired the paintings of the rooms. He had never seen such colors before. Everything was just so marvellous to him. The owner of this house must have spent a lot of fortunes to get this done! He thought in awe as he admired the doors. It was not even just an ordinary glass door. Who the hell was the owner of this house? Maybe he could just connect with her and have his life changed and…" Young master, here we are, she is waiting for you" he said and lowered his head as he left his sight." Wait, who…" he jolted on his words when he realized that he had long left his sight. What if he was about to be used? He did not know anyone here and he was getting so scared. He could not leave because he did not know the way back. He slowly opened the door and another shock awaited him." Mr precious!"My precious? He thought in confusion as he looked at the middle aged woman. What did she mean by that? Why was everyone confusing him for the wrong person? How else did he want to explain that he was not even that type of person they must have thought he was? He thought and looked at him in shock." Ma'am, I think you need to understand something here. I'm not your son or whatever you may…" Before he could complete his statement, the woman had given him a very tight hug that he thought that he would suffocate at the moment. What was wrong with all these rich people? Did they not recognize their own anymore? He turned as he looked at her in shock. Just then, he sensed something. It looked as if the woman was really shedding tears. She was sniffing so hard that he thought that something was wrong with her." Ma'am, I'm not your precious or whatever you may think…" he said, hoping that she would understand but instead, she smiled as she looked at him and disengaged from the hug. She st
" Of course yes!" She said and smiled as she looked at him which made him wonder if he had thought about that so loud. He looked at her again to see if she was really joking about everything. He still did not understand how a stranger like him, at least he was until now, would just be bestowed all these. " My son, you will be the heir to the Kings empire. It's all yours. All that is in there is yours. Just come back home, please. Don't leave me here, they will hurt me again," she said and held his hands. She did not want him to leave her sight ever again. But then, everything was still so glaring and shocking to him. Just yesterday, he had thought that he was poor and he would also die at the prison with no hope of coming out and now, he was scared to grasp the fact that he was a wealthy heir. Like seriously? Not even just an ordinary heir, but a powerful heir. Not even just powerful, but an influencial heir. He now had the power to command. He had the power to do and undo. He had t
" let me have your phone," she said softly while he looked at her and frowned. What does his phone have to do with all these again? He wondered as he brought out his phone from his breast pocket and handed it over to her while she frowned and looked at the phone in her hands. It looked so cheap and looked like the ones that were being used in the twentieth century. She shrieked at a point. She did not think that she had ever seen or used such phone before in her life. And now, her only loving son had such trash and yet, he would cherish it like his life. She sighed angrily. That was it. All these while that she had been searching for her son, he had been living a very poor life. And she would make sure that this would change that very instant! She wished that she had found him sooner but nevertheless, he was here and never to go again. She thought and snapped her hands while he kept on staring at her. Just then, not up to a second, the door clicked open and a young woman came ins
The next morning, the whistle blower of the household knocked and came into the room while he was sleeping. Almost immediately, he began to blow the whisle until he frowned and woke up." Hey, that's enough!" He yelled out and stood up." Good morning, young master. It's time for you to take your bath!" He said and lowered his head while he looked at him wondering what was going on again. That was when he remembered that they would be going somewhere alongside his mother.He nodded and was about to walk into the bathroom when the whisle blower stopped him." Young master, we have selected few young ladies that would take your bath for you and wash you clean! You don't have to do that …"He turned around and looked at the man weirdly. Was this how the rich behaved also." It's fine. I can take my bath myself!" " SHE will not like it if you do this yourself!"" I said I am okay, do you want to get fired?" He asked and frowned as he walked into the bathroom. He stood in awe. The bathroo
At that moment, someone walked up to him and lowered his head." Boss, they are all lined up waiting for you. Why don't you…"" I don't want them to know anything for now. I will just pretend that I am a nobody among them!"" What? Big madam wants you to live up to your status and she won't like it if your only son is…"" I will take care of that!"He had initially wanted to let them know whom the boss was. Maybe she would just come back to him but then, he realized something. She would only come back because of the money. Realizing this fact, he was pained. Seeing that the woman he loved so much did not even feel any remorse for what she had done broke him and for the sake of the one sided love he still had for her, he did not know how to take vengeance for everything that she had done to him. Men shouldn't break down! " Richards?" He called out while staring at the door she had passed hoping that she would just come back the same way that she had left. Why did love hurt so much lik
" But what do you mean by that? How can he be the manager?" Ken, one of the workers in the company said and scoffed. They all believed that he must have bribed the personal assistant of the CEO. How could someone that was as tattered and useless as he was be the manager and would even be the boss of some staff? A manager at that?" Listen, Mr Richards. He's just a lowly being that's not even meant to be here! We are better off than him! He's nothing but a bad luck and a silly person! He's been fired before!" Clara said and frowned. How on Earth did he manage to bribe this person? Could he perhaps know the CEO? The moment she thought about that, she immediately discarded the thought. What was she thinking? That someone like him that could even barely feed himself would know the CEO? She would definitely lick her shoes if that even happened! She thought and scoffed." Alright everyone, that's all I want us to know. You may all leave!"" And no one would be fired?" Someone asked again.
They turned around to see that Clara was glaring at them maliciously. She hated to see him around. The fact that she had also once done something bad to him annoyed her also. How he even got to work around was what she did not understand.Nevertheless, she did not want to see him and she had already resolved within her that she would make sure that John used his influence as a wealthy person to make sure that he fired him. And now, he was friends with her friend?" Oh, Clara, thank goodness that you're here. Look! I just met someone that's as pure and natural as him! His name's Jack and he sounds like your ex's name. He even offered to pay my friend's dress and…"" Does he seem like he has the money? Can't you see that he's just bluffing? He's poor and useless!"" Why would you just consider him poor and useless?"When Jack heard that, he was undeniably embarrassed. He had already thought that since he had the money, he would be able to stand for himself but then, it looked so worse.
" Brother John!" She waved at him while John walked towards them. Jack could not contain his anger because what happened between them still shocked him. " Oh… the loser is yet to leave? Are you by chance planning to get your girlfriend back? You should know that you can't even maintain her, you're a loser!" He said again while Mira looked at Jack. He was her ex boyfriend? She thought again in suprise. But then, she didn't just like the way he treated him. He looked nice enough though. She thought and shrugged" Alright brother John, thanks for earlier!" She said again just for her to change the topic. It was already becoming so messy by just trying to humiliate him." Oh? The internship program? Have you finally secured a place already? I had called about three people for you and they already said they would get back to me. That means that they have already helped me out!" He said and smiled again." What company did you call?" Jack asked, already becoming so irritated about everyth
Few days later, Jack finally attended Miller Creeks party even though he initially did not want to go and this time around, he went with his girlfriend because he wanted to make her known. David Brown looked at his stepbrother with a lot of anger and wished that he would kill him. As if Miller Creek knew what he was thinking, he held his shoulders as he used a smile to welcome his guests. " You don't have to worry about what happens today. So far I have my own deal, we are good to go! Just play your part" He said while David nodded his head. " After all, it's all because of that bastard the old man would not even look at me!" He said as he showed Mira to his guests. Meanwhile, Jack who did not even know whom his stepbrother was yet smiled as he shook hands with the business men there. Some were people he knew and some were people he didn't know and wanted to connect with. " Hi, Good day" David said as he shook hands with Jack while Jack looked at him. he was sure that he ha
" It's not what you think it is, Evelyn" Mira began while Jack looked at her. Was she really that ashamed to let this woman know that they were lovers? He thought again. " I am sorry, Mr Kings. I did not know that…."" Evelyn." Mira said and glared at her co-worker and finally looked at Jack. " Mr Kings, I will talk to you later about what happened!" She said while Jack just looked at her angrily and left the scene." That confirms it! You are dating our boss"" What? Listen, there is nothing going on between the both of us! What makes you think so?" She said. Evelyn was a woman that wanted to know about a lot of things and that was what Mira was trying to rectify before it got out of hands." Mr Kings and you? Gosh! You guys do not even fit each other. He deserves someone better than you! I can't believe that he…'" And I am telling you that what you think you know is not true at all! What the hell is wrong with you?"" Oh really? That is coming from someone that bargained her way
Few days later:" Did she accept my gift?" Jack called that fateful morning after he had taken Fabiola advice just to get back the woman he loved so much." Mr Kings, she seemed like a woman that does not want so much noise. We are sorry because we tried our best just to make sure that…."" Are you trying to tell me that you did not do your jobs so well after the huge amount of money you had gotten from me?" Jack yelled out at the man. " I am deeply sorry, sir. She did not give us a chance at all before she chased you out. It looks like you would do this yourself" The man said while Jack sighed. Mira had never given him such a hard time but it was just too hard to have told her the truth! He thought and looked at his laptop. There were a lot of things he had to work on but unfortunately for him, it looked like he would not be able to work on it anytime soon. How could the woman he loved so much be so mad at him and all he would do was to continue working as if he had no thoughts ab
" Mira … I am sorry" Jack pleaded again and looked at Zoe. " I would have loved to introduce you to someone that is now very important to me in my life" " Is that why you are here? My boss is not even supposed to be here in the first instance. So, Mr Kings, I would like it if you use the exit way" she said firmly while Zoe looked at her sister. She could see the determination and stubbornness in her already. " Zoe, I love your sister so much even if she thinks that I am not trustworthy enough to fall in love with her but trust me, what I feel…."" Get out! Right now!' her sister said again while he nodded and left the house. " Master, how did it go?" The driver asked him while he sighed. " Just face your front and drive!' he said firmly. ***" Mr Kings, when you want to shoot, you stand straight and focus on the target closely. Then, you shoot" Fabiola said while Jack shot his gun three times without listening to what she was saying. Right now, they were at the training ground wh
" What would you like to take?" Zoe asked with no expression on her face. She had truly seen this man on TV the previous week and was even the reason she rushed down to see her sister but then, her sister would not even tell her where he was. Now, he showed up at their doorstep looking all expensive? Who would have believed that the poor church rat that eveyone dispised at home would turn out to be someone like this? She thought again and frowned. How could he have managed to have fool them all? At first, she did not want to believe it but she had managed to see the car he brought to such a shabby street and it was even a car that her father could never afford to buy no matter the situation! It was too expensive plus it was her dream car! Well, if her sister was not talking about the man, maybe she would also have to not overstep her boundaries. " What I would like to take?' Jack asked and chuckled nervously even though he could see through her. He did not know whether to smile o
" Where to, master?" The driver asked Jack while he held his head. Now, he realised how much of an idiot he was! He did not even know his girlfriend's apartment! How could he not even have any idea of that when all he did was make her angry? Does this mean that he was not meant to be in her life but he could not even do without her! Jack thought again and placed a phone call. " Mr Kings, we are…."" Don't bother about working on anything, Jason. Just get me the additional information of Mira at the company including where she lives. Five minutes" He said and hung up before Jason could say anything else. After few minutes, he was able to find out her location. " Allen avenue" He muttered while his car rolled into the road leaving Fabiola who had been watching him speechless. Soon after his car pulled over after a very exhausting day, Jack managed to finally trace Mira's house even though his driver had a very hard time locating it. He even managed to doze off on the way when it
I am happy to see that you are all hale and hearty" Kings snr said and smiled as he looked at his grandson. This was few minutes after the party but then, he had an inner pain within him. He knew that his son would face a lot but even though he could see how strong and capable he was, he still seemed so naive. " Thank you, grandfather and I promise that I would make the King's legend strong" Jack replied while he checked his phone again. Gosh! This was a surprise party he also wished that Mira would have come for but it turned out that she was still mad at him. Had he really done something that bad? How could he be the one in a position and he would not be able to help the woman he loved so much? Jack thought again while he felt his grandfather's hand on his. It was obvious that the man was so old. " There are a lot of things bothering you. Including the fact that you would have a very hard time proving yourself but son, I want you to take your fighting lessons so serious because y
" Jack, are you sure that you can help me with the goods ?" Mira asked Jack who seemed to be so pissed off at the moment as she looked at Jack. They were currently in her house. " are you okay?" Jack asked her instead. he could see her struggles and could see that she was doing just everything possible to make sure that she would combine her work with everything else but it did not seem to work out. In the end, she sighed as she looked down dejectedly." Do you want me to help you out with anything?" He asked again. " Eveyone would not stop looking at me as if I am the bad person and I do not even know whom the CEO is that thinks that he can just make my heart to break"At this moment, he did not know whether to let her know that he was the the CEO and in the end, when it seemed like she was about to break down in tears because of what she was passing through, he held her hands. " Mira, baby, everything that you are passing through over there is all because of me"" What do you mea
Mr Kings, you sent for me?" The head of the interviewing personnel said as soon as he rushed into Jack's office. It was his first time in such a big office. He looked at everywhere aside from Jack because he did not want to stare at him. Jack had a very scary aura that he could not keep up with no matter the situation. " So, I heard the news flying around that a particular woman has bought her way in because she is seducing me and it turned out that the peroneal you set up started it."" What! I am sorry sir but I made sure to caution my team after they had uttered those statements. I did not know that they wanted to make things worse." Bright said while Jack bit his lips. All he wanted to do was just to fire these People immediately because of how annoying they were. He wanted a safe and condusive place for the woman he loved and now, they were making it hard for them. In as much as he did not want to anything just to hurt her, he knew that she would be so pissed off at me when she
