The Estate Nobody Wanted to Show Him
Sophia Bennett returned to the lounge with a tablet in her hand."Mr. Roy, I've prepared a shortlist of properties that match your requirements."Michael looked at the screen.The first property was a modern villa with four bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a landscaped backyard.The second was a Mediterranean-style residence with a private gym, a home theatre, and a three-car garage.The third was considerably larger, featuring a guest wing and a spacious garden.They were all expensive properties, even by Salazar Hills standards.Michael examined each one."These are your largest available options?"Sophia smiled."These are among our most popular estates. They offer excellent privacy, security, and comfortable living spaces. I believe the third property would be particularly suitable for your family."Michael scrolled through the photographs."How much land does it have?""Approximately two acres.""And the guest accommodation?""It has a separate guest wing with four additional bedro
Salazar Hills
The following morning, Michael sat at the dining table with his mother.Ellen was sorting through a small pile of household receipts while Michael finished his breakfast."You're going out today?" she asked."Yes. I have a few things to take care of.""Work?""Something like that."She gave him a suspicious look."You're not going to disappear for the entire day again, are you?"Michael smiled."I'll be back before dinner.""Good. And don't forget to eat something while you're out.""I won't."Ellen returned to her receipts.Michael watched her for a moment.Even after telling her about Sterling & Cross and assuring her that money was no longer a problem, she continued managing every small expense carefully.She still compared prices before buying groceries. She still kept old household items because replacing them seemed wasteful. And whenever he offered to pay for something, her first reaction was to ask whether it was necessary.Years of financial uncertainty had become a habit.Mi
The First Drive
The Bugatti Veyron moved smoothly through the streets of Countera.Michael kept one hand on the steering wheel while the other rested comfortably near the gear selector. The engine produced a deep, controlled sound, noticeable without being unnecessarily loud.He wasn't driving fast.There was no reason to.For now, he wanted to enjoy the experience.The afternoon traffic moved around him. Cars stopped at intersections, pedestrians crossed the streets, and shopkeepers continued their usual routines.Countera looked exactly as it had yesterday.Yet Michael was seeing it from a different position.Not because he was sitting inside an expensive car, but because he remembered what it had taken to reach this point.Years ago, he had calculated every major expense.Rent. Groceries. Electricity. Transportation.Even after securing a decent position at Sterling & Cross Financial, buying a second-hand car had remained a distant possibility.He remembered visiting a used-car dealership with a c
One Signature
The following morning, Michael received a call from Vanguard Exotic Motors."Good morning, Mr. Roy. This is Elena. I'm calling to confirm that your vehicle is ready for delivery."Michael glanced at the clock."Already?""We completed the final preparations yesterday evening. The registration paperwork has also been processed. We only need your signature on the delivery documents.""Then I'll come over this afternoon.""Of course. We'll have everything ready."After ending the call, Michael put his phone aside.His Bugatti was ready.He had imagined owning one for years, but the reality still felt a little unusual. There had been a time when even purchasing a decent second-hand car seemed like an impossible expense.Now, he was about to take delivery of a Bugatti Veyron.He smiled.Some things were worth waiting for.At Vanguard Exotic Motors, the atmosphere was considerably different from his previous visits.The Veyron stood in the centre of the delivery area, freshly detailed and p
The Price
Two days later, Michael received a call from Elena."Good afternoon, Mr. Roy. I have an update regarding the Bugatti Veyron.""Good afternoon. Have the remaining documents arrived?""Yes. We've received the complete service records, including the additional diagnostic information Daniel requested. Our technical department has also confirmed the outstanding inspection details.""Any unexpected issues?""Nothing significant. However, we'd still recommend the independent inspection we discussed. We can arrange it before finalizing the sale.""That's fine. I'd prefer to have it done.""Certainly. The inspection has been completed this morning, and the specialist has submitted his report. Everything is satisfactory, with a few routine maintenance recommendations."Michael nodded, even though she couldn't see him."Good. I'll come by this afternoon.""We'll be expecting you."At three in the afternoon, Michael arrived at Vanguard Exotic Motors.He entered the showroom wearing a simple black
The Bugatti Veyron
The following afternoon, Michael returned to Vanguard Exotic Motors.This time, he arrived with an appointment specifically arranged for the vehicle inspection.He stepped inside and found Elena waiting near the reception desk."Good afternoon, Mr. Roy. Welcome back.""Good afternoon, Elena.""Have you had a chance to review the preliminary information I sent?""I have. I also prepared a few questions."Elena smiled."Excellent. Our automotive specialist is ready to assist you. His name is Daniel. He has worked with several high-performance vehicles, including Bugatti models.""Good. I'd like to speak with him.""Of course. Please follow me."She led Michael toward the rear of the showroom, where the Veyron was parked.The car looked just as impressive as it had the previous day.Michael approached it, examining the front bumper, headlights, and bodywork.Daniel, a man in his early forties wearing a dealership uniform, stood beside the vehicle with a tablet."Mr. Roy?""Yes.""I'm Dan
