Chapter: CHAPTER 10: I Like You!The couples exchanged rings and vows and were officially married. It happened all so fast. Allen sat angrily, observing the celebration when a familiar voice called from behind. “Master Herondale!” He turned quickly, only to see his former mother-in-law beaming like she had never done before. “We are so happy to have you here,” she exclaimed. Allen boiled in anger seeing her face again. Memories of her tormenting him flooded his mind. He had plans to make her pay but he had to play along as master Herondale for the moment. “Madam Nora, your daughter's wedding is the best I have ever attended but I must ask what happened to her ex-husband?” Allen blew the question too early. “That poor fool?” She raged. “He brought my daughter nothing but suffering and I’m glad he is out of her life for good!” The look of disgust on her face when she mentioned Allen irked him. Did she really hate him that much? He couldn't wait to see that look change when she realises who he tru

Chapter: CHAPTER 9: The Wedding Invitation Allen's eyes widened as she pushed the door open. It wasn't just beautiful, it was large and extremely comfortable like a suite. “You…you mean this is my office?” He said, unable to believe what was in front of him. He rushed in, making himself comfortable on the chair. A card with his name was well–placed on the table—Allen Herondale(C.E.O). “If you need anything sir, I’m just a call away,” Louisa said, stepping out. Allen almost forgot she was there. As she left, his mind drifted back to her. It felt like his liking for her was growing by the minute. She was calm, helpful and kind to him even when everyone thought he was poor. But then, the thoughts of the company swam in. If he had to be the president, there had to be new rules starting from today. After chilling in his office for some hours, Allen was ready to retire for the day. While driving home, he sighted one of his favourite snacks at a street food joint but being rich wouldn't stop him from getting what he likes, w

Chapter: CHAPTER 8: Charles Hemmington is Demoted!“Are you crazy?” Charles asked the fear gripped employee. The man shuddered, stepping backwards and it did not seem right to Allen. Charles was agitated as he did not get a reply from the man so he asked again. “Are you crazy Philip? Do you want to lose your job?” His fingers landed across the other man's face and he lost balance, almost falling. He immediately caught balance and went on his knees. What?! It didn't seem right to Allen at all. Charles not only bullied random poor folks but also bullied employees under him. None could speak up. They all stood pale and scared. “I have the power to take all of your jobs one after the other,” Charles bragged, dragging his words. “If you don't obey me, count yourself gone.” Allen couldn't hold it anymore. He forgot that at the moment he was just the poor Allen without all the fancy clothes and accessories. Without thinking, he approached Charles. “What you are doing is against the company's standards, Charles,” Allen said, and every

Chapter: CHAPTER 7: The Goons“Herondale?” Macho whispered. The name was familiar. In fact, there was no one who had not heard of the most powerful family in the city. A smile crept to Allen's face as Macho’s hand slowly left his collar. “You want me to believe that this fool is a Herondale?” Macho said, laughing loudly. “You will address the young master correctly,” Calloway told Macho with a punch and he fell to the ground. His facial expression made excitement build up inside Allen. Murmurs filled the room as the goons came to fight back. “What punishment should we give to them young master,” Mr Calloway asked bowing. “Beat them to a pulp. Make sure they never forget it,” Allen ordered. Calloway and the other men charged towards the goons as they did the same. They threw blows at each other, some with weapons, and it escalated in seconds. However, Calloway and his men overpowered the goons and dragged them to an open space outside the shop while Allen, Jose and other people tagged behind. After minute

Chapter: CHAPTER 6: Meeting Jose“Forgive me young master,” Karina said, bowing, hot tears flowing down her cheeks. “You can let her go,” Allen ordered and they did. She stomped away in anger, not planning to let him off the hook so easily.“I will make you pay for this, Allen,” she mumbled. Allen continued shopping and when he was done, he drove back home with the crowd looking at him in amazement. Getting home, he went straight to his grandmother's room.“I want to visit the Silvercrest headquarters tomorrow please,” he told her, making himself comfortable on the sofa. “Of course Allen. I was just about to discuss that with you. I think it's time you get familiar with business around here and with time you’ll be getting us deals,” she said with a warm smile. Hearing those words, excitement built up in Allen. “But I must say, I’m more interested in the wine business. Let me learn how it works,” Allen pleaded. Madam Ophelia was impressed by Allen's eagerness to learn. “Of course. Calloway will teach you everythi

Chapter: CHAPTER 5: You are a Thief, Allen!“Karina, please let me purchase clothes in peace,” he pleaded, still examining the clothes in front of him. “These clothes are not five dollars Allen. Give up while you still got the chance,” she said, laughing loudly this time, already getting the attention of the other buyers. “I don't have the time for this Karina,” Allen said again, running out of patience. “Suit yourself then. A poor cleaner like you cannot afford these clothes,” she said loudly before walking away. Now, the store was filled with murmurs from people, considering how shabbily he dressed. Their murmurs turned to laughs but Allen ignored and composed himself. When he was done picking the ones he wanted, he hurriedly went to pay when he saw Karina standing there again. When she saw him, a smirk crept its way to her face. She wanted him to be embarrassed so badly. Allen slipped his infinity card out of his pockets, about to hand it over to the cashier when Karina screamed loudly. “You're a thief Allen!”“Where d
