Jace the centibillion heir

Chapter 6

Everything seems to be happening so fast around Jace. He wondered if today was ever going to end.

"Before your arrival, I asked my maid to arrange a room for you. I asked her to pick the biggest room. You deserve the best." Damian said with a winning smile on his lips.

The mansion was very beautiful so would anyone want to spend the night there.

Jace turned looking at Damian's armoire which was made of gold. He woke up from his seat to take a close look at the armoire. This made Damian remember one of the important things he had to announce to him.

"Oops, son, I totally forgot to let you know about something."

"Something, is there any problem?" Jace asked as he was scared.

"Oh no, on the contrary, it's something interesting." 

"When we discovered you were still alive and were on the edge of finding you. I decided to offer you a gift. A gift to apologize for all the years you spent out of the house. I bought Marchburry Group and Co Ltd and I had my assistant buy it under your name. You are now the CEO of Marchburry." Damian said walking to his armoire. He opened it and brought out a sealed document, handing it to Jace.

Jace opened the documents and indeed it was real, he was the new CEO of Marchburry Group.

Marchburry Group was one of the biggest banks in the city of Madrid. They help startups and even existing firms with capital and even market their products as they had a large membership. They also supported Governors, ministers, and presidents with funds for their electoral campaigns. But there was a problem, it wasn't easy to become a member of Marchburry.

All the rich families in Madrid wanted to partner with them so they could rip from the benefits Marchburry Group were offering.

He just discovered he is the new CEO. In less than five hours, he had gotten what an average Spanish needed to run mad in the streets. What other stuff was he going to discover before the end of the day arrived?

"Dad, I appreciate your efforts. But you shouldn't have spent in getting me this. Meeting you is important to me compared to all those gifts you bought for me." Jace said honestly.

"Common, it's just a little token." Damian patted his shoulders.

Jace was about to utter another word out his throat when a knock from the door interrupted him. It was the maid.

"Good day, young master. I came in to request what colour of sheets you would love to have me dress your bed with." The maid said bowing her head to Jace. Wasn't that lovely? He was asked what colour pleased him.

Back with the Bradleys, he was not given a chance to choose what he wanted. The offer was tempting, but he did not intend spending the night with his dad. He wanted to be with his wife.

"Don't bother for me, woman. I'll be gone in an hour's time. There's no need to waste your time."

"What, do you mean you aren't spending the night with me? Don't you want me to feel your presence tonight? The house has been empty without you." 

"Dad, please not today, we would have the time to spend quality time together. We aren't meant to be together, remember?" Jace said.

Jace was offered a spacious room to himself but he preferred to return home to his wife, even though he didn't sleep on the bed.

While Amelia slept on the bed, he slept on the sofa. He didn't think he was going to one day feel something else for Amelia considering how they got married. It's been months now since they married but they had never consumate their marriage.

After he made his father understand he was married and needed to be close to his wife, he shifted his gaze to his watch to check the time. He slowly gasp in his chair as it was past 8 pm, by now his wife should be home.

"Dad, I think it's time for me to take my leave." Jace rose from his chair.

"Okay, son. I'll be expecting you soon, remember we have an unfinished business." Damian said as he pulled Jace for a hug.

 

After battling with his father of allowing one of his drivers to ride him home, he succeeded in convincing him it wasn't a good idea. 

Three hours later he arrived at the Bradley's villa As usual, they were tearing up. They were all fighting up for the next grandchild who was going to convince Storm Jewelry and Accessories to sign a contract.

"Granny Modella, I think you should allow me to try this time around, I'm married to the Carlos family and I think looking at their status, they will want to sign the contract with us, what do you think?" Alida Mahome spoke up.

She was the same age as Amelia, except that she was brought to life three days before her. She had always hated Amelia because the rich men in the city of Madrid rushed towards her. Even her husband once rushed to her. When he got rejected before he settled for her. She knew her husband loved Amelia and not her. He only got married to her to keep the link between his family and the Bradleys solid.

"We all know the best person to bargain for this contract is Amelia. She has a modelling factory and she is very beautiful. If she can play around with the CEO then she would definitely secure us a contract." Mrs. Elizabeth declared.

"Amelia would have been the perfect match for this only if she had divorced that mendicant and settled with Daryl Ashton, we all know how influential his family has become, especially now that they are campaigning for the presidential elections." Granny Modella said plainly.

"She can't granny, she is not up to standard. Besides, her modelling company is on the verge of collapsing. We can't allow her to bargain the contract." Elsy said. 

While they were speaking, Jace made his entry. His husky steps distracted the crowd as they turn to take a look at the figure who just walked in.

"Here comes the useless live-in son-in-law"
