The door swung open for the effluent and noble partner in the Swiss hotel." Thank you, " The woman said. The woman was a regular customer at his hotel and every time she came in, tips Theophilus Hazyes off like a beggar; which he wanted.This was his third year working as a guard in this prestigious hotel owned by his in-laws, the Wright family.He was born into a poor family but ended up with an unknown family who wanted him, though his adopted parents, who had everything in life mistreated them.Stupidly enough, he fell in love with a big man's daughter.Is it a sin to fall in love with a rich man's daughter? To the world's greatest surprise, she reciprocated his love. Gemma Is a very classy girl who feeds, dwells and lives on expensive things. Although she was born with a silver spoon, he still had to cater for her and spend all his earnings on her.And now, he's keeping this tip, to balance the money for his wedding expenses.Theo leaned his head on the wall, focusing on his
Theo woke up, his vision was blurry and gloomy. He managed to sit up and looked around his surroundings when his sight improved.He could feel his head ringing so hard like it had been hit on a rock." Hospital!!! " He mouthed.Yes, he was in a hospital wearing a patient's clothes." What happened? Why am I here? " He asked, feeling puzzled.Later, the memories started flooding back when he remembered he had been hit by a car." Oh my God!! Am I okay? " His eyes widened ,and he began to look through his body if he had sustained any injuries.His hand was wrapped with a bandage. He touched it and it hurt so badly." Ouch!! I have to get to work!! Who brought me here? Argh " He shouted with anger.Seeing his injury, he was sure he was going to be having a vacation at the hospital. He'd have to call in sick for a few days. Theo got down from the bed and began to look for his phone when a nurse entered his ward carrying some documents." Oh!! You're awake, Mr Theo. Do you know what happe
Theo couldn't believe his luck as he stared at the notification on his phone. Fifty million dollars! It felt surreal like a dream come true. He had been struggling for so long, and now, this unexpected notification seemed to proclaim a brighter future." Or am I dreaming!! " He said to himself.He still couldn't believe that a whopping amount of fifty million was sent into his account. Filled with joy, he stood up and smiled, thinking all his problems had been solved. But then, he began to think again. Where did the money come from? He didn't have anybody to give him an amount like that.He was sure it wasn't Gemma or his adoptive parents who sent the money. " If they didn't send the money. Who did send the money? Was it by mistake? " He nodded his head and thought of what to do after he had rested in excitement." When I'm done, I'll pay a visit to the back and ask for my old balance. "******* Eager to head to the bank and confirm the deposit, he set out on his wa there, the ex
Theo's heart thumped faster and tilted to what triggered his long-lost memory. He remembered what happened like it was yesterday.*****FLASHBACKLittle Theo was screaming in the car loud as his sister was in the driver's seat driving very fast." Ruth..calm down" his dad ordered.Ruth's birthday was the day after tomorrow, and little Theo exposed that Dad was getting a car for her 18th birthday, so she begged him to teach her so she'd drive her friends out." Dad, chill. This is how we roll " She laughed hysterically while driving fast.She looked up at the mirror and smiled at Theo, who was enjoying the ride.Ruth shrugged slowing down, " You see Theo is also enjoying the ride. Hold on, I'm not a licensed driver….."He cut in, " Your license will be ready tomorrow. Just be a good girl and it'll be handed over to you "That's how Theo's dad was rich. He could get a big munch of work done in a few hours. He was the big gun, a wealthy and influential man in the finance world.There was
His face turned pale when his eyes beholded what was in front of him.Wads of money in every currency possible, won, dollars, pounds, yen, euros.It was like all the presidents popped out riches and wealth. The room was like an office perfectly furnished with a sky-high view." I thought this was a hotel. How?? "Paul raised his hands in the air, and sighed, " Here is your answer, You are rich. And you were wondering about the hotel, your father owns the hotel. "What? Did he just say????" My dad's hotel!!" Theo raised his eyebrows." It's yours now. Zara's luxury hotel is yours now, Theo hayzes. Bewilderment struck him so hard that he almost lost track of how to breathe. Just yesterday, he was poor now, at this moment the table turned. He watched as Paul stretched out his hand to take a paper across the table."These are the documents, Mr Theo!! " He spoke in a loud tone.Documents??? Rich????Theo took the documents and opened his mouth in shock, hesitating to believe in his sho
What did he just hear? Arrested????Before he could spell jack Robinson, the police stormed and huddled up on him.Of course, Gemma must have told them something else." Hey!!! I can explain, officers " Theo said calmly staring at the circle of the police officers surrounding him." Don't explain, whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. You are under arrest, civilian. Co-operate with us and follow us to the station " It was unfortunate for Theo as he wasn't spared a little chance to explain his side of the story. The police went behind him and cuffed him aggressively." Hey!! Officer, watch my hand!!! "" Oh!!! Now they are harassing me. She must have paid them a huge amount to frame me " he thought. His gaze returned to Gemma as a devilish smirk played on her devious face." No one will ever hurt you, baby!!! Not even the poor not the rich. That's my sweetie sweetie pie " Gemma pouted touching his wound.Theo shouted as he was being taken away, " Gemma
As Theo sat in the car after dining with Paul, a sense of fulfillment and joy filled him. He couldn't help but recall Paul's words.Flashback***With a sigh of relief, Theo finished signing the papers. "Is this where my new life begins? One filled with luxury cars, extravagant houses, and successful companies?" Paul posed, a warm smile on his face. He knew exactly what was on the minds of young men like Theo - making money and having endless beautiful ladies by their side." So what about ladies" At the mention of ladies, Theo let out a sigh. His past had begun with a lady, but it had ultimately led to a dead end.He scoffed, "Ladies? No thank you. For now, my focus is on my new career. I'll leave the ladies for a few years." This answer took Paul aback. It was a mature and unexpected response from a young man. Clearly, something must have triggered his past experiences."That's why I asked about ladies. Most young men I've helped in the past had a long list of women they wanted to b
******FLASHBACKAs Theo made his way to the entrance of the hotel, he retrieved his card from his pocket, only to have a different card fall out with it.A black card!!!Before he could fully process his surprise, his phone chimed with a message from Paul. Apparently, Paul had predicted his visit to the hotel and had provided him with this black card, which promised free services and help in case things got heated."I've never touched a black card before. It feels so promising," Theo thought to himself.******END OF FLASHBACKHis excitement was soon brought to a halt when the manager swooped in and snatched the card from Palma's hands."Where did you get that?" the manager demanded, examining the card in disbelief.His shocking gaze then shifted to Theo. "This is an authentic card, so where did you see it?"Clutching onto his phone, Theo shrugged off his hesitance and confidently replied, "I own it and I demand to be given a room with respect."The manager's laugh was laced with skept
