Richard struggled to make sense out of what his grandfather had said.He was still yet to overcome the shock of finding the identity of his parents,yet his grandfather had dropped another shocking news.for him.He wondered how many times he would be surprised before he would be able to take a break.

“The Morgan Empire heir?” Richard asked.

“Yes, you are the Morgan Empire heir” Richard grandfather answered.

Richard was shocked once again.As a student in school he knows what a business empire was.He was aware that anyone who claims to have an empire was very wealthy.

A business empire is a collection of businesses with the shared highlighted management especially one ultimately under the control of one individual.

Richard looked at his grandfather differently.This revelation explained why everything here was so luxurious and why his grandfather butler was able to drive a car as expensive as a Rolls-Royce.

Richard was confused as he wasn't familiar with the Morgan Empire.The fact he was poor didn't mean that he was ignorant.He also knew about some top companies like the one headed by George Prescott,the famous Prescott winery company of which Dominic was the heir.

“Grandfather,you said I'm the heir to the Morgan Empire? Richard asked.

“Yes you are,” His grandfather replied.

“But how come I haven't heard of any top companies bearing the Morgan name?

His grandfather however sighed when he heard his grandson's question.However he didn't blame him.It was expected as only the Morgan heir knows how much of wealth is in his control.

His grandfather just went to his desk where he has documents on.He picked one of the documents and handed the documents to Richard before speaking.

“The companies listed there are under the Morgan Empire.I have all these companies under my control and management.”

Richard looked at his grandfather before going through the documents in his hands.What Richard found out made his jaw drop.

He was overwhelmed by what he just found out.

He had thought that nothing would be able to shock him again,but what he saw had completely blown his mind away.

In the documents were not just top companies in Vatican town but top companies in the world with the least company having a yearly revenue of $10B.

There were several widely acclaimed businesses on the list.

The list also includes luxury stores,top rated hotels and several mineral and oil wells that were part of the Morgan Empire.

Richard felt his head spinning when he looked at the yearly revenue of each of the businesses listed in the documents.Some investments like the oil wells even made close to 100 billion dollars yearly.

Richard's grandfather noticed that Richard had finished going through the documents he handed over to him.He cleared his throat loudly,drawing the attention of Richard.When he saw that Richard's attention was focused on him,he spoke up.

“Richard all these companies are no longer on my name”

Richard's eyes widened.

“What do you mean by that Grandfather?”Richard asked curiously.

“Calm down Richard.The companies and businesses were under my name,because your father who was supposed to inherit them passed away too soon.Now I'm just an old man,who wants to relax and look after his health.

“But you are a healthy grandfather, what do you mean by looking after your health?"Richard asked surprisingly.

“ I'm tired Richard.I have been the head of the Morgan Empire for 35 years and it's time for you to take your rightful position.There is no reason to try and change my mind.I have already transferred and registered all these companies under your name.”

“I know it's sudden for you to take up this great responsibility but you have to accept your new role now.Don't worry I've notified every manager of those businesses that you are the new head of the Morgan Empire.Once you tell them who you are then you will be treated with utmost respect.

Richard's grandfather insisted that he had to take up his responsibility as the new heir of the Morgan Empire.
