My Wealth System

Police investigation

Jake was dealing with drugs and the underworld bosses who were his suppliers. Henry had videos of him selling hard drugs and distributing them. He picked one and sent it to a media company, laughing hard.

Tomorrow, the world would know who Jake Cavil was and what his step-family was into and he would be there to watch the disaster.

He wondered about the wealth system that helped him out and again thanked his stars. A mail popped up and reading it, he realized it was from the doctor briefing him about Mike's health. According to him, there was no complication for the night and Mike was stable. Henry sent a quick thank you and closed his laptop. The next thing on his mind was to get security guards and become the CEO of Bive Airlines, a company his stepbrother had been eyeing for years now. He drafted a plan, writing the pros and cons and fell into a deep slumber.

Henry drove out of the estate, stopping by an eatery to get some pancakes for Mike. The young boy loved pancakes and the encouraging smiles from Henry. He placed a pause on the memories of how his stepmother treated him while growing up and focused on the nice things he would say to Mike once he got to the hospital.

He drove into the hospital driveway, stepped out and was about to enter when a familiar voice stopped him. It was the nurse who was nice to him that day he woke up from his unconsciousness.

"Good morning, Mr Henry. I'm sorry for stopping you. I just wanted to thank you for helping me that day," she smiled, looking at him expectantly.

"No, I didn't help you, you did, actually and I'm so grateful for meeting a nice nurse like you. I have to go now, take care of yourself."

"I will and if you need any help, please, let me know. I will be glad to help out."

Her offer made him stop. He needed a nanny to take care of Mike when he was at work and didn't have time to prepare good meals for him. He was already tired of takeouts and sodas and Mike needed some good nutrition to recover his weight and heal those scars.

"Wait," he called as she turned to leave. " I need a nanny and a cook who can take care of my son. I will pay the person well, please. Do you know anyone?"

The nurse's face lit up immediately, "Yeah, my sister just graduated from college and has been looking for some jobs to save up to start her food business. I will send her to your company for an interview or something."

"No need for interviews, I trust her already. Get my house address from the doctor and send it to her. I will be expecting her tomorrow morning, alright?"

She nodded, "Alright, thank you so much, sir. I appreciate your help and trust"

Henry smiled and walked into the hospital. He had settled the issue of the nanny, now, he thought entering Mike's room, he had to think of Mike getting home and resting.

"Hi buddy, it's time to go home," he said, smiling at the warmth of Mike's eyes.

Mike scribbled something in the notepad beside him and showed it to Henry.

He swallowed, reading it. It was something he wasn't expecting. Mike was asking about his mum.

"Buddy, Mom is coming home, soon, okay? Don't you worry about it now, I will take care of that while you worry about getting well and returning to school. Okay?"

Mike nodded and wrote a "yes" on the pad.

"Do you want some pancakes?" Henry asked, taking out a pancake from the wrapped plate the eatery sold for him.

Mike nodded again, smiling and stretching his hands. Henry chuckled and gave him.

A few minutes later, they were on their way home. He told Mike some memories about Doreen and the little boy nodded, smiling and writing on the pad.

He told Mike about a time when his stepmother deprived them of eating breakfast and lunch because they woke up late after a night of scrubbing toilets and cleaning the entire house.

Doreen had gone to meet their kind old neighbour, who offered her a pancake but she didn't eat it. She gave everything to Henry because he wasn't feeling too well then. He had refused and she threatened to disown him as her brother.

Henry cleaned the tears strolling down his face. He hoped Mike didn't notice it. He missed his sister so much. She was the only reason why he had accepted the wealth system and when he heard she was dead, it broke him down but now, thanks to Matt she was alive in some place.

"Alright, we are home," Henry said, jumping out of the car and helping Mike out. He picked up the bags of groceries he bought and walked into the house holding Mike.

Strangely, no one had called him from work today, even though he had directed all calls to *. He quickly prepared spaghetti for Mike, watched him eat and then turned on Television for Mike's favourite cartoon.

"Hi, boss. I have been trying to reach you all morning. Did you check the news? There's a video on the internet exposing your stepbrother's doing some illegal drug dealing. The police are right now, checking one of his warehouses. It's on air, check it, boss! " Mr Louis rattled happily as Henry clicked on the news channel in his laptop and there it was.

He could see the reporters trying to capture everything that was unfolding and his stepbrother, Jake trying to scare them and talking furiously to one of the policemen.

Henry chuckled, as he read reports on how the video surfaced and the policemen have been checking each of the Cavil's houses for evidence. He also saw something about his stepmother and Jake planning to sue whoever posted the video online.
