The unlikely heir

“We've all been looking for you since you left,” Gerald, Alex's brother said. They were in Mrs. Sarah's house.After Alex left his house following the death of his mother, he found himself in a poor neighborhood, where he got taken in by Mrs. Sarah. He told her everything about his father. How his dad oppressed those below him with his wealth.And also the reason why his mum left the house after she found his dad cheating on her. It was on her to the airport that she had a fatal accident and died instantly. Alex didn't want to be like his father. He saw money from a corruptive perspective.He didn't want to live that life, despite being the eldest son of his father. So he left to find his path. Mrs. Sarah has been the one helping him with her little job. Although his brilliance was able to get him a scholarship into a prominent school, she still needed to work for their needs.“Didn't I make myself clear the day I left the house Gerald? I want nothing to do with that family, especial

Chapter 4“Welcome home young master,” the servant greeted as Alex highlighted from the limousine. It drove off immediately, leaving him standing at the front of his house.He stood there quietly, savoring the memories of his home. Memories of playing by the fountain with his mother, and running around the field with his brother. They all came rushing in.“Young master, I've been assigned to your care and service. You are to move into your father's room located at the top floor,” the male's voice said again.He was probably waiting for a reaction or response, but Alex just stood there, lost in thoughts. What if he became like him? What if his newfound wealth corrupts him? This was exactly what he ran away from. He could recall sternly warning them not to look for him because he was done with his family.Looking at the bright side, as he began walking towards the mansion, this was the perfect timing for him. He was ready to take over his father's fortunes. He was ready to become the u

Alexander drove through the highway in his scooter, stopping a distance away from the Thompson's empire. He parked by the roadside and walked down to it.He has his dark shades on to conceal his identity. He was casually dressed, trying to avoid drawing attention to himself. He got into the building, went into the elevator, and headed for his office.When he got in, he was welcomed by his secretary. “Good Morning sir,” Ruth greeted. She was holding an Apple tablet where Alex's schedules for the day were recorded.“What's first today?” He asked as he began taking off his casual shirt to put on a well-ironed t-shirt hanging behind his desk.“Your appointment with the Blackwoods sir. I've placed a call and they're already on their way. The meeting will commence at nine o'clock,” Maya said.Alex completed the buttoning of his shirt and looked into his office mirror. A smile played at the edge of his lips. He couldn't wait.“Tell me once they've arrived,” he dismissed her.A few minutes be

Alex froze that instant. His mind processed so many thoughts. What was he going to tell them? How did Philip see him? He swallowed a large amount of his saliva as he turned back to face Mr. Blackwood.Mr. Blackwood was now interested in what he had to say. He had left his table and taken a stand just in front of it. Maya too looked curious. Elias sat at the other end of the room, anxious as to what would happen next.“I asked a question, Alexander. Or are you deaf all of a sudden?” Philip asked. Nothing was coming up. Alex just stood at his spot, watching everyone's interest grow in him.“I needed a job from the company,” Alex finally said. After his statement, there was a few seconds of Silas, before Mr. Blackwood burst into an outrage of laughter. Elias joined him, but Maya and Philip stayed quiet.Philip was staring into Alex's eyes, trying to detect a lie. For a second, Alex thought Philip had discovered who he was and was just waiting for him to say it. He stared back into Philip

Maya left the penthouse and headed for her house. She kept wondering how awful the situation would have been if Annie found her and Jacob in an awkward position. She kicked the thoughts off her head as she walked into her home.Mr. Blackwood stood at the center of the living room, speaking with his grandchild. He heard the door open and found out it was his daughter.“Run along young one,” he said to his grandchild. Maya wondered what had brought her father to her home. Ever since she got entangled with Alex, her father never visited her. If he needed to send a message across, he would send one of her brothers.She placed her bag on the table and walked further into the living room. “Father,” she greeted politely, without looking him in the eye.“I heard of your new position in the school. How did you get that?” Mr. Blackwood asked. He didn't sound happy. Maya knew her father would hear of her new position, but she didn't expect it to be this early.She remained silent, hoping he wou
