Persia : The last son of Bert

Episode 6 : Found her!

The three Friends couldn't sleep till daylight. They spent the time away with laughter and joy.

Persia trying to keep up with the Merry because he's still heartbroken from his family's sad story.

When the sunlight rises, he informed his friends Garcia would visits so they all prepared and await him.

At long last Garcia arrived in a flashy car. When he enters Persia's home, he stop at the doorway as his eyes caught the two friends Russell and Fernando.

" Don't worry about them. They are my friends from the orphanage home. We grew up together. I can't leave them "

" Understood Young master. Now all the documents has been finalized. You only need to come down and sign them so you will officially be the owner of all Bert's businesses. After this we will confidently announced to the Media about your comeback "

" We should go then "

Persia followed Garcia out earnestly and his Friends Fernando and Russell tag along.

Firstly they were taken for clean up. Persia has his hair cut and his friends did the same.

They are all given the best treatment. Later Russell and Fernando just have to return home while Persia goes ahead to sign up his documents.

When he gets to the office, he is dressed just causally. He still do not want to make it obvious yet. There are still many things at stake.

" Wow! " The lawyer of Mr Bert exclaimed upon seeing him. " No doubt he is his son "

Without much ados Persia was given the papers and he was handed a pen.

A sigh escaping his lips at this decision. He knows fully well there won't be a way back anymore after he scribble his signature on the papers.

" You can take your time Young master. We all know it's not an easy decision " Garcia whispers from behind but Persia shook his head.

Many lives rested on his shoulder. It's his destiny and he can't run away from it. To him It's better to fight than to be humiliated all over again.

He set his jaw at once when he remembered his grandmother who has been suffering for twenty one long years while Ma Melly is behind her son and her grandson enjoying the good life.

Anger seep through him and he placed his signatures on every documents.

After scribbling his name and signatures all the hidden and unhidden wealth of Bert are his now.

Officially he is the new septillionaire just as Garcia had address him.

He is now the sky, the peak, the lifeline of masses, the master of the universe.

Everyone couldn't help but gaze at him. Ladies he passed by wouldn't help but stare while men couldn't help but envy.

" You are now our leader. We will put our trust in you Young master. You are old enough to have your own woman. With a a lady beside you things would be much easier for you but I guess that would be quite impossible because your lady left you for Davey Juan last night "

To Garcia's words Persia chuckled. They are now at a fine balcony after he has signed the necessary documents.

Feeling quiet strange that he isn't just anyone anymore, Persia nodded.

" You are quite right Garcia. She dump me for Davey Juan. Isn't that ironic? Karma knocking "

" You can say that. Now without much delays every Bert's companies which has been shut down will reopen tomorrow. The Bert's mansion will regain it's full valour and Beauty "

" Good. You should do that Garcia "

" And what will you do young Master? " The man inquiry. " Honestly I have been waiting for you to give order concerning Davey Juan. Now that you have signed the paperwork, wont you reveal yourself to the world ? "

" Next tomorrow Garcia I will do that. Let the Media knows for now that I am back. You have spoken about a lady who will make everything easier for me. I think I have one in mind already. Get me a ring, an expensive one that befit the wife of Persia Bert. I have a lady to propose to tomorrow "

A grin appears on Garcia's face at this. So excited to do Persia's bidding. They soon left the balcony and parted ways.

Persia returns to his home but stop abruptly on the way when he saw Phyllis at his door.

A frown of confusion appears on his face as he watch her debating whether to knock on the door or not.

With her red hair swirling around her waist, she turns causally and saw him.

" Oh shit! " She started in fear. " You startled me. I never know you are there. How long have you be standing watching me? "

" I just got here " He replied smoothly. " What is it? Why are you here? "

They have only met occasionally whenever he visited Celia. Then Phyllis wouldn't stop stealing glances at him.

" I..uh.. I'm here to return this " She extended the ring to him. " I don't want it. It's..not meant for me "

" Why? You don't want it? "

" Does that even matters? You were dating my sister? "

" Step sister and she is my ex girlfriend. Nothing about her concerns me anymore " He retorted angrily, infuriated at the mention of Celia being called his girlfriend.

Phyllis was slightly taken aback by his outburst. She never expected him to be so strong will. Now staring at him, she realized he isn't the same Persia anymore.

" You have changed " She mutters weakly. " Persia ? "

" I grow up, I do not change. Maturity Phyllis and nothing more. Celia humiliated me, left me for dead last night and rejected my proposal. All those things help me sees the situation from another angle "

" How do you mean? "

" Why did you come to my rescue last night when I was about to be face slapped for the second time in a night? "

She couldn't reply because she's short of words. Spreading her arms to think of a good excuse she found none .

" I did because I like you. You are the perfect man "

" Just that? "

" What else do you want me to say? I can't confessed my true feelings to you. It's of no use. There is nothing either of us could do about it "

" Nothing? "He repeated dully.

Now that his fate has been altered he would hate to think of himself on a receiving end.

Slowly he marched towards Phyllis and stood before her.

" I want nothing more from anyone anymore. I do not need any permission from Felicia, your step mother or Celia your step sister. It's your answer I needed. Your sincerity. Phyllis, do you want me? Do you love me? "

Emotions overwhelmed the lady and she step back in surprised. Never had she planned to reveal her True feelings to him.

Swiftly she made to bypass him but Persia was quick to caught her wrist and pull her backward so he would pinned her with his Hazel eyes.

" Speak Phyllis. Tell me "

" I do " she confessed abruptly. " I love you from the very first day I set my eyes on you. The fact that you are humiliated and taunted by my sister annoyed me so much and that was why I interfered last night. Satisfied? Now what will you do about it? this ring is meant for Celia so I will take it "

She placed the ring in his open palm and walk away with her heart thudding crazily.

That was the final words Persia needed. Now a smile appears on his face.

" A woman who would ease the burden I will have to bear? I think I just find her "
