My World Domination System

Amber

It was getting late outside at the hospital parking lot, and Benjamin could not believe his life. From a multi-millionaire, back to a pauper! He had not a single cent on him, and decided to call his wife to see if she would pick him up.

He called her three times to get no answer. On the fourth try, the call was denied. He waited a while before trying a fifth time. Maybe he was in a daze from losing, or maybe he was just stupid. He and Claire shared a special connection. Surely something like this won’t be enough to make her disregard him completely.

She picked up on the fifth try.“Hello?” she talked as if her mouth was full of something.“Claire, it’s me. Can we talk away from everyone else? I’m at my sister’s hospital.” said Benjamin. Claire was quiet a minute on the line, before she made a gagging noise and brought herself closer to the phone.

“Sure. We can talk now.” she said.“Uh- I was thinking in person, Claire. Alone.” he stressed.“I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to see me, Benjamin. And I don’t think you should come back to the house either.”

“But why?” Benjamin asked, his voice breaking.“You know why.” stated Claire.“No, I don’t. I want you to say it.”Claire sighed before responding.“Look at me Benjamin. Then, look at you. It’s clear we’re headed in two different directions. What we had in the past was sweet, but-” started Claire.

“You need to grow up, and accept reality. Both of us do not need to suffer.” she said.“I wasn’t aware you were suffering.” said Benjamin.“Sign the papers, Benjamin. I don’t want-” Claire produced a deep moaning sound that suggested she was in the hot throes of passion.

In the background, Benjamin heard a hoarse male voice. “Enough with that loser. Keep riding me like that. Yeah, yeah. You’re so tight”

“Harder, harder” moaned Claire quietly. She had already forgotten she was on a conversation with Benjamin. He ended the call in disgust, and launched his phone through the air to the other side of the street. “Fuck!” he yelled to nobody in particular.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a gray Mazda Miata flashing it’s small headlights. The Miata drove down slowly, parking next to the curb he was standing on. The windows rolled down, and it was Dr. Amber. No! How much did she see?“Having a bit of trouble?” she asked, flirtatiously.

“I… seem to be needing a new phone.” Benjamin replied.She chuckled a little.“Why don’t you get in? I know a great phone store nearby.” she offered.

Benjamin was conflicted. Maybe Amber was being nice for the sake of her personality, or maybe it was  because she had seen that he could move decent amounts of money around. If that was the case, how would the situation now develop after losing all his millions?

He didn’t even have enough to get a new phone! He looked at his clothes. Still indistinguishable from roadside fabrics. But the seconds were passing by, and he decided to get in. He noted the interior of the Miata was a nice luxurious red leather.

“Just so you know, you might have to get me the phone itself. My old phone was essentially my on line wallet” he managed.“That’s no problem.” said Amber cheerfully. “But you’re going to have to give me an IOU” she winked. Benjamin thought she was absolutely charming outside of her workplace.

Benjamin tried out the new phone. It was the latest model of the Pamsung v34 that year. Amber, for whatever her reasons, was being really nice to him. I had no ideas doctor made these kind of monies, thought Benjamin, thinking about her car and the new phone she could afford.

Immediately, he put on the phone, a new alert came.“Credit Amt: $1,000,000 Acc:200******79 Desc:Valentino’s Secrets Date:04/07/23  Balance: $1,000,900”

The butler from Valentino’s secrets! He had kept his promise. And this account was a different account from the rest. It was the joint account he shared with Claire.“Something good happen?” Amber nudged politely.“You have no idea.” said Benjamin.

But Benjamin soon frowned. Was this money related to task 3? What exactly was task 3? Was it to get is $500 million back?“Listen, I wanted to apologize for those things I said back at the hospital. I sincerely hope your sister makes a full recovery.” said Amber pensively.

“She will. I will make sure of it.” said Benjamin with conviction. Then after looking at her, he said again “What kind of cars do you like?”

At the car dealership, Amber was explaining her taste of cars.“This one is the Mclaren Artura 2023. It’s a hybrid supercar with a 3Litres V6 and 577 hp for the gas engine. 94hp for the electric motor. 0 - 60 in 2.6s. Top speed 205mph.

An absolute monster. Oh, the seats. The Dihedral doors. And the oceanic blue. I’m still saving for it, might get it in 3 years though in the used market.”

“I’ll take that one” said Benjamin to one of the staff.Amber’s eyes widened as the employee began to search for paperwork. She knew this man was wealthy, but this car was $300,000 for the base model.“Sir, so how do we want to finance this?” said the salesman.

“Direct wire. That is, if you accept.” Benjamin said.

The salesman looked as if he was going to explode, the commission for selling this car would be crazy.“You don’t have to do this” said Amber. “I’m perfectly happy with my car.” she said.

“Oh no, I’m not getting it for you. I’m getting for myself. I don’t know anything about cars. But I trust your judgment.” Benjamin said smiling.
