“You, like this plain ring? There’s no design or writing upon it. So this is the inheritance ring?” Blake couldn’t understand how a plain ring would look beautiful to his sister and much less be treasured.“My boy, don’t judge everything on the surface. Put it on and see if the ring fits. It may be too large for your finger.” Robert said, looking at the ring’s size and having a worried look.“Brother, maybe you can use it as a wedding ring so that no one will be suspicious of it.”Blake then placed the ring on his ring finger on his left hand. At first, it seemed that it indeed was too large for his finger, but within a split second, it fitted snuggly on, like it was perfectly made for him. Robert smiled, and the worried look he had shown earlier melted away.“Well, my boy, it looks like it was made for you.”Blake looked at the ring, which had a faint glow under the light when he reexamined it. With a smile, he thanked his grandfather.“Thank you, grandfather. I will cherish it alway
Jenkins prepared everything that Robert wanted him to do. The family all received the information to return to the prominent family’s home. If anyone lagged in their appearance, they would be removed from the family. The succession of the head of the family will be announced at the banquet tomorrow night.When Jake received the text, he furrowed his brow and informed his assistant to prepare the private jet for departure and that he was going home.‘Well, the old man has finally decided to hand over the family to me. It’s about time. Even though he was disappointed when that crappy ring didn’t fit, he’s been pressing for me to work harder.’ Jake thought to himself as he sat in the limo headed towards the airport.“Fred, when should I arrive back home?”“Sir, if all is well by the time we arrive at the airport, we should be arriving approximately three am, four at the latest. Sir, why the sudden change in plans?”“The family is hosting a banquet tomorrow night, during which the new hea
“Thank you, Steve. I most enjoyed our arrangement, by the way, who was that man you had in her bed? He was very handsome.”“I didn’t take no mind. I just had someone grab a random guy under the bridge, a common beggar. I dressed him up and fed him. No one of importance, why would you like to bed him as well?”“Are you mad? I just thought he was cute, is all. Why would I settle for a lowly beggar, ewe, gross.”“Just joking. I’ll be off and have to be the upset boyfriend now. Goodbye, Cheryl. I hope your next life is all you hope it to be.”Steve then left her in the ally and walked towards the crowd. Unknown to Cheryl, when Steve left, the two men that placed the beggar in the room came up from behind, gagged, and dragged her away.Saline was then taken to an ambulance. She was admitted into the hospital ward and given an examination, and they needed to see if she was ovulating, and it bared a greater chance that she could have gotten pregnant from the ordeal. After the tests, she was
“Seeing that he will be up soon, I will meet him there. You know what I like; send it over while I wait for his arrival.” Not giving a single courtesy to the butler. Jake walked towards the back of the home, where a small table with a few chairs was arranged, a silver platter with a kettle and cups were placed upon it, and a flower arrangement in the center. Jake sat down facing the home in anticipation of his meal’s arrival, and if he had looked upon the backyard, he would have seen Blake jogging back into the house. Blake went back to the second floor and knocked on Tabitha’s door. Receiving a greeting to come in, he opened the door and walked in to see her brushing her hair at the vanity. “Brother, what happened to you? You’re all sweaty. You didn’t get into a fight, did you?” “Do I look like a guy who would go out looking for a fight? Please don’t answer that, hehe. No, I went out for a jog. It was a beautiful morning I couldn’t resist. Let me shower and change, and then we wil
“Grandfather, you can’t be serious in giving me that position. I’m the heir to the family; how will that look.”“Grandfather, I can’t be the CEO; I have no skills in that department.”“Silence, both of you, Jake; first off, there is a misunderstanding; you are not the heir to the family, Blake is, so get it into your head now. Blake will be the head of the family after tonight. Second, Blake, the head of the family, is always the CEO of the Capital branch. Accept it, it comes with the position, and as for skills, you will learn as you go. I know of your talents, and they’re far better than Jakes. Now it’s settled, let’s eat before this lovely young lady starves, and I apologize for our family drama this morning.”“No worries, grandfather. You should see the goings-on when the Weston Family gets together.” Looking at Blake, his hatred was not enough to describe what he felt at that moment. Jake was sitting there trying to sink in what he had just heard. He would not be the head of the
“Great choice, sir. This is the limited edition, only nineteen in the world. I hear a Saudi prince bought one other, and I shall retrieve the key for you.”Jenkins left and went into a large vault in the back of the garage, returning with a wooden box, only opening it to reveal a gold button controller. Blake took the controller and went to the car. He went to the passenger side and opened the door for Tabitha. Blake only closed the door when she was seated, headed to the driver’s side, and got into the car. Looking at the dashboard, he couldn’t locate the pushbutton to start the car, so he called Jenkins.“Jenkins, where is the button to start her up?”“Young master, this particular model has been modded. It is voice-activated; all you have to say is start.”As soon as he said to start, the engine came to life. Blake drove the car out of the garage and headed into the Capital by giving their farewells.Claire awoke and made herself breakfast, comprised of toast and jam. She had to ad
“Thank you for your offer, but I will have to decline. If we can’t go in, then we’ll go to another. It’s only a restaurant, after all.” Tabitha declared as she rolled her eyes at him.“Suit yourself, come, my dear, let’s go get us a table. Leave the trash outside.”Douglas, being rejected, walked further into the lobby and was greeted by the maître d’.“I want the best private room available.”“Sir, no private rooms are available at this time. If you want to wait, I’ll inform you when one is available.” The young man explained to Douglas.“I’m Douglas Soros, from the Soros family. How dare you instigate that I must wait for one to be available. I know a room is empty right now, and that’s the one I want.”“Sir, apologies, that one is reserved for the owners. Only they can utilize that room.”“Am I someone you can offend? If I want to, I could have you relieved of your duties and never work in this town again.” Douglas yelled, holding onto Maria.He did not want to offend the man befor
“What the hell is going on, Douglas?” Asked Maria looking at Douglas with a surprised expression.“I don’t know. Maybe Blake tricked them into thinking he was in the main family using his surname?” Douglas replied.“Didn’t he say he was just from the country?” Maria asked.“How disgraceful to the Elon family to have trash impersonating a family member to push us out of that room.” Douglas was surprised by what he had witnessed.Maria was even more furious. How could she be treated like this? She was kicked out only to have Tabitha get into the private room.“Dear, you must inform the manager that Blake is an imposter.”Douglas left the room with Maria following, returning to the private room that they had just left. How could he let Blake get away with impersonating a direct member of the Elon family? He had to salvage his pride for being thrown out of the room on false pretense.“Manager Clemens, don’t be fooled by this imposter. He may have the surname Elon, but he is not part of th
