THE WORST SURPRISE
Noise was one of the things Alarick Blythe hated the most, especially the kind of noise produced by people on the busy streets as they went about their business. Car horns, parents yelling at their children to stay off the road, vendors yelling to attract customers to buy their wares, and more, it was all so debilitating, but he would have to go through it all to get to his destination. With a bouquet of roses in his left hand and an expensive box of one of the finest chocolates in the city, he meandered through the crowd and waved a taxi down.The driver spoke before Alarick even got seated. “Where are you headed, sir?” He asked.“The Grand Bayou Hotel and Suites on Madeline street.”The driver smiled at him and eyed the gifts he held in his hand.“Going to meet a special lady, eh? I bet the madam won’t like you prancing around with girls half your age”Alarick was irked by the man’s words. The driver didn’t know anything about him, yet he just assumed that Alarick was going to a ho

I WANT A DIVORCE
The weather seemed to be part of the grand plan to humiliate Alarick further because immediately he stepped out of the hotel, it began to rain. Or maybe the weather wasn’t actually mocking him, maybe the sky was actually weeping for him because of the humiliation he just endured. Whichever way, he loathed getting soaked, but at the same time, he was glad for the rain because it concealed his tears from passers by that were running to take cover to avoid being wet. He was soaked from head to toe and he was beginning to shiver, but none of it could be compared to how he felt inside. Ashamed, Disgraced, Humiliated, Dejected, these were words he could use to describe how he was feeling but they all seemed so paltry.He was so dazed that he didn’t realise that he had walked all the way from the hotel to the mansion till he saw the gates of the Blythe mansion up ahead. At least he had saved the cab fare, it was literally all he had left, he was basically penniless. He regretted spending his

THE STRANGER
Brianna shot up from her chair immediately after I finished speaking my mind.“How dare you ask for a divorce when no wrong was done against you? You can’t take care of my needs because you’re poor. Are you trying to humiliate me? What would it look like when it gets to the media that I was divorced by someone as pathetic as you?” She sneered.“I don’t care, just like you never cared when you decided to fuck another man on our anniversary. You don’t even regret what you did, you feel no remorse. I can’t stay married to someone like you!” He yelled.“How dare you raise your voice at my daughter? You should be worshipping the ground she walks on, even her shoes cost more than your pathetic being.” Bruce Blythe said.“I don’t know why we tolerate this street rat in our house, throw him out this instant.” Brock said as he looked at Alarick with disdain.“I agree. Maybe after sleeping on the streets for a while, he will appreciate the shelter we gave to him.” Ben said.Alarick was happy th

WELCOME TO TRUE WEALTH
After contemplating for a few minutes, Alarick decided to go with the man. Even if it turned out that the man was mistaken and he wasn’t truly the heir, at least he would have a roof over his head this night. It was better than sleeping outside in the cold. He could also try and convince them to give him a job, even if he had to be a janitor. Deep down, he wished it would be true that this trillionaire was his father, but at the same time, he didn’t want to get his hopes up. The man led him to where his car was parked and Alarick’s eyes widened. Jonathan chuckled when he saw Alarick’s expression.“This car was a gift to me from my boss, your father.” Jonathan said.The car was the latest model and only three had been produced in the world. Alarick knew this because his father-in-law, Bruce Blythe had been so angry when the car came out and he couldn’t afford it even though he was rich. Yet, this man who seemed to be a butler or driver was given this car as a gift. Wow!They both got i

YOUNG MASTER
His father sighed.“When you were still a child, almost two years old, you were taken from us. I had just started making good money back then, my company was flourishing and I got arrogant. I was warned not to take a particular deal that an older rival company was vying for but I didn’t listen. I felt like I could take them on because I had already achieved so much at a young age. After successfully getting the project started, we threw a party to celebrate the success of the project launch. Your mother and I were in attendance while you were home with your nanny. We couldn’t take you that day because you weren’t feeling well. When we came home that day, you were gone.” His father paused with tears in his eyes and took deep breaths for a few seconds to try and compose himself before he continued speaking.“Our home had been invaded by armed men, they killed all the security guards and the house staff. We searched everywhere but couldn’t find you, then I received a call shortly after.

TOUR OF THE ESTATE
The next day, he spent most of it looking around the estate. The place was huge, ten times bigger than the Blythe mansion. Where he had slept last night could not even be called a bedroom, it was like a royal chamber in a palace, and he had an entire wing of the house to himself. His main sleeping chamber was almost three times the size of his former room in the Blythe mansion, and his bathroom had the latest technology installed, he didn’t even have to dry himself after bathing even though there were towels. All he would have to do was to step on to the body drier and his wet body would be dry in just a few minutes.His balcony had a pool, and a separate Jacuzzi in case of cold nights, and the gadgets in his room could be operated by the use of specific gestures, controlled by a button, or through his voice that had been programmed into the system that morning. For example, if he clapped twice, the lights would either turn off or on, if he pressed one of the remotes in his room, the

MEETING THEM AT THE MALL
The next morning, Alarick was surprised when he was woken up early by Jonathan. He had been expecting to sleep in like he did the previous day.“It's the weekend, Jonathan, why are you waking me up so early?” Alarick asked as he yawned.Jonathan chuckled.“My apologies, young master. But for your plan to work effectively, you must not be the heir in words only. You have to at least have basic knowledge of your father’s business if you are to inherit it all from him. The time from now till when the official announcement will be made is not enough to learn everything, but it will be enough to teach you some important things if only you’re willing to learn. Knowledge is power after all.” Jonathan replied.“Can’t we start later?” Alarick asked.“You need to get used to waking early, young master. It will be a normal routine for you soon once you officially take over handling the company from your father.” Jonathan said.Alarick yawned again and then got off the bed.“Take a shower and the

SIGNING THE PAPERS
"Is that you, street rat? Look how low you've fallen. It's only been two days and you look like shit." Brianna said with a sneer as she held her lover, Lucian Pasteli . Lucian smiled and Alarick could feel the anger bubbling inside him once he remembered what this man did to him, but he decided to be calm."What do you want?" Alarick asked calmly.There was no need to cause a scene when they were both beneath him now. Lucian rolled his eyes and tapped his fingers on the car door as he spoke."You know you should have really reconsidered this whole divorce thing. We both know it won't do you any good. When you're done pouting you'll go back and grovel at Brianna's feet like the beggar you are." "Bold of you to think that I would beg this woman to take me back after everything she did to me. You can keep her since apparently that's what you’re into. Enjoy having my leftovers."Lucian gripped the door tightly. His knuckles turned white as he imagined Alarick’s head between his hands. Ho

SHOCK
Days after Brianna signed the divorce papers and it was officially legalised, Alarick proceeded with the plan to be announced as the heir to the King fortune. The occasion was televised thus every news and entertainment outlet had it running on their stations. Reporters were everywhere and the event was being streamed live online.Alarick stood behind his father on a podium above the various people present, colleagues and rivals alike, as he spoke to the crowd. The place was packed since it was not everyday a high standing person such as Cillian King gave a public announcement."There is a reason why I held this public press conference. I have an announcement to make today." He said as he gestured for Alarick to move closer to him."This young man standing beside me is my long lost son, Alarick King. Some of you might recognize him as Alarick Blythe from the recent cheating scandal with the Blythe family but I can assure you that it was all lies concocted by hateful people. He was tak

PROPOSAL
CHAPTER 10It had been a week since Alarick had been announced as the heir to the King fortune. Since then, he had been attending meetings, functions and various interviews to show that he had accepted his new role. He had meetings with board members and major investors in the company, active and silent members, and managers of key sectors in the King's empire.The media had carried the story of the broke ex-husband becoming a rich trillionaire overnight. They went wild dragging the Blythe name through the mud. Everyone speculated on who was in the wrong and the public was torn between believing the family they already knew, and the new heir. The news was scandalous and the Blythes hadn’t made a statement yet making them look even more guilty. Add that to the fact that Alarick was being featured in almost every magazine and news outlet in the country. He was on basically every front page, and had already been voted most eligible bachelor, even though he hadn't handled the company for
