Inheritance. Episode 2.

Is this a dream? Mason could not tell. However, one thing didn’t change. He was not finding himself waking up from any bed even after consciously pinching himself more than 20 times!

Looking through the balcony of the Luxurious room, Mason’s eyes became widened, reflecting only one thing. Greed.

Mason could tell that he was now in a room that was obviously on the higher floor of a mansion. No, this was a castle. From the how high this balcony is, Mason could tell that he was currently inside a castle. He was now looking at the ground through a balcony that was 40 floors high!

Looking through the balcony, at the compound of this castle were various cars. These weren’t just any cars. They were luxurious cars! Cars that could actually buy people’s entire generation.

Mason used to work inside a mechanic shop and sometimes he fixed big cars and even if it was not everyday he saw an expensive car, when he did see one he was always fascinated and this somehow brought out his interest in cars, mostly expensive cars. However, never in his life has he ever dreamed of owning one but right inside this castle he could see roughly more than 20 cars parked in the compound and all the cars Mason had identified so far were at least worth one million dollars!

That was a whole lot of money!

Am I dreaming or what?

There was a Brabham BT62, a Porsche 918 spyder and even a Ferrari F60 America! All of which were more than a million bucks! There were even those worth more than 2 million bucks!

What the hell am I doing here?

Mason pinched the skin on his hand more tightly, digging his nails into it, thereby injuring himself in the process but he still wasn’t waking up from any dream. How is it possible for him to get heart broken, beaten up and then see a Jinni that’s a beautiful goddess who takes him to this luxurious place? Now that he’s probably thinking about it, this is beginning to look like all those novels he reads on Meganovel!

The cars were not the only thing that made the compound beautiful but the gardens and the waterfall in the middle of the compound that was almost as big as a little town screamed nothing but wealth to light up the greed in him.

Seeing the feelings in his eyes, the Jinni smiled and said. “Mr Gray, these all belongs to you now.”

“Belongs…to me? I don’t understand?” Mason muttered, looking all confused.

Mason has always been nothing but a poor boy all his life and he has always worked hard, however, even with hard work he hasn’t actually made a name for himself. He actually hasn’t seen 50 grand in his entire life much less of what’s he’s seeing right now. So seeing and being inside the luxurious place with the cars and all, Mason could tell that from what he had seen so far they were all worth nothing less than hundreds of millions of dollars. He hasn’t even settled down from the shock of seeing all this stuffs and now the Jinni is telling him that all these are his…How?

Okay lets say he believes the beautiful lady beside him is an actual Jinni.  He hasn’t actually made a wish to get all these yet so why is his Jinni so kind to give him all these without him asking? That’s not how it works in all the tales about Jinnis so how is all what he’s currently seeing his?

‘I mean if this is a dream I should’ve already woken up by now given how many times I’ve pinched myself.’

The Jinni saw the natural confusion in Mason’s eyes and proceeded into explaining.

“Actually all these was not technically yours but since it is your inheritance as the only child of the Gray family it is now yours.”

“The Gray family?” Mason asked with more confusion in his eyes.

He has heard about so many rich families in the world but never has he heard about any rich family that has a similar name to his last name. The only reason he even has this last name is all because of the ring on his finger.

Apparently his name Mason was given to him by a Nun in the orphanage after they found him as a baby inside a boat with a ring attached to a necklace. The ring on his finger right now.

Written on the ring was the name ‘Gray’. The Nun who named him decided to use the name Gray as his last name because it was what she saw on the ring so she probably guessed that the name had something to do with him. That was how he answered the name Gray and never has he heard of any rich family bearing that name so he was naturally still confused by what he was hearing.

How is all these his inheritance?

The Jinni smiled slightly as she read his confused expression and said.

“I want to explain this to you but I don’t think its my position to do so.”

She clicked her fingers once more and again Mason felt his world spinning and then he was no longer inside the luxurious room.

Instead he was inside a study that also screamed wealth. The study was neat and well kept, however, there was no one inside. There were shelves filled with books inside the study. The books were so many that there was another floor more shelves.

The room was slightly dark due to only one lamp acting as a source of light for the very big study. Just when Mason was about to ask the Jinni why she had suddenly brought him to this place something else caught his attention. Or more like a voice other than the Jinni’s voice  caught his attention, making him to swiftly turn around.

It was a person speaking from a television.

It was an old man with blonde hair that looked at least 70 years old. The old man was obviously handsome and there were wrinkles all around his face proving his old age.

However, one thing was certain, his suit he had on only showed one word. Classiness!

Without warning the man started speaking, starting his words with a cough. “Cough! Hey there young one. Happy birthday to you. I am Robinson Gray, Your Grandfather. I’m happy to see you just turned 21 and I’m sorry to be wishing you happy birthday through a video but the thing is if you’re watching this video at this moment then it means I am most likely dead and it’s up to you to take on your right position as the leader of the Gray family.”

“I’m sorry this might be too much for you to take in but the Jinni by your side will assist you with everything you need to know that I will not tell you in this video. The reason why we haven’t met till this moment is because you disappeared after your parents were murdered during a trip while you were still a baby. So many people doubted that you were still alive and the only reason why I believed you were still alive was because of the Jinni with you. Believe me I wanted nothing more than to make a wish for you to appear back in my hands but I could not do so without the ring. The ring you should have right now.”

Hearing  the man Gabriel instinctively looked at the ring on his finger.

“The ring you have on you isn’t actually just a normal ring but a treasure that we the Gray family have had in our generation for many centuries now. The ring has been the main reason for our wealth and power over every other big families out there in the entire world. As you can probably tell right now, Jinnis do exist and she’s is one. Although her real name is not just Jinni but you’ll have to call her that till you prove you’re worthy enough to know her real name.”

“And the tales didn’t lie about one thing, a Jinni can grant you your heart desires as far as you have the treasure that’s bound to it which is the ring you have on you. As far as you have that ring, the Jinni will do as you wish.”

The man in the video smiled as he spoke his next words clearly. “So to be clear you are now the master of the Jinni right by your side and also the new owner of all the wealth belonging to the Gray family.”
