Adolphus was just on time to see when his mother was slapped by Pius Graham, the young master of the Graham's family.
Pius was just twenty two years old, his age mate. And because his mother was a cleaner in their home, he and his parents treated her like trash.
“How dare you lay your hands on my mother? Have you gone mad?" Adolphus quickly stepped in to defend his mother, holding the sobbing woman tightly into his strong arms.
Tilting his head to look at his mother, he spoke to her in a low voice. “Mom, is this really necessary? You can always quit this job and not let them treat you like this." Adolphus was speaking like he had it better in his work places.
Just like his mother, he was also being treated very badly by all the people he work for, including the students he runs errands for.
He had no other choice but to take their insults and humiliation since he badly needed the money for his school. However, he wouldn't be able to take it when his mother was being assaulted by a boy his age, just because he was her employer.
“Are you challenging me? Maybe you want me to fire your mother, then you'll learn to show me some respect.” Pius flared up, closing in on Adolphus who also stood his ground.
“I won't stand here and watch you slap my mother again. That's the height of what I can take from a brat like you. Even though you're wealthy, that doesn't give you the right to mistreat your employees.” Adolphus fired back, glaring daggers at the young man who was raging before him.
As he spoke, he felt his mother's hands on his arm. She was trying to avoid any rift between the two young men.
“Adolphus, let it go. Remember that I need this job to take care of some things. Please don't fight with him.” Doris muttered quietly.
“What's going on here?” A strong voice interrupted and they all turned to see Benson Graham descending the stairs while his wife followed behind.
Even though they didn't see what transpired in the place, their cold eyes were already scrutinizing Adolphus and his mother.
Swiftly, Pius ran up to his parents and stood beside them while pointing at Adolphus and Doris. “Mom, Dad. I need you to fire that wretched woman and throw them out immediately. Adolphus hit me and called me a brat because I tried to correct his mother.”
“She's working for us and I have every right to correct her, don't I?” Pius added, still pointing at the mother and son.
He was the Grahams’ only son who has been spoiled rotten so they don't joke with anything that concerns him.
“You did what?” Brett Graham quickly flared up and closed in on Adolphus. Before he could utter a word, his left cheek had been covered by her hands in a deafening slap.
“How dare you hit my son?” She barked, angrily glaring at Adolphus whose hand was already nursing his hurt cheek.
He was not even given the chance to explain what happened and the Grahams were already taking their son's side.
“But that is not what happened Mrs. Graham. Pius here is at fault and my son only stood up for me. He didn't hit your son. In fact, it was Pius who…”
“That's enough, woman.” Benson cut into her words stopping her from completing what she was saying.
“Do you think that we're going to believe your words over our son's words. Pius will never lie to us.”
“Actually, your son is a bloody liar. And I'm sure that he's lying right now.” Abigail walked in at that moment and made the situation more tense.
She was the only one in the family who was never in support of their cruel behaviors towards the employees.
Abigail was two years younger than her brother Pius but she was bold and fearless. And was always standing up to her parents and brother.
“And what's that supposed to mean, Abigail? Why would you call me a liar before this lowlife people. I'll not take this from you.”
“I'll call you a liar anytime I want because that's what you are. There's no truth in your words.” Abigail fired back at her brother while rolling her eyes at him.
She turned to Adolphus and his mother to apologize but a strong hand took hold of her arm.
“That's enough, Abigail. You're going into your room now.”
Without another word, Benson began to drag her out of the place while she struggled to break free.
As soon as Benson and Abigail were out of sight, Doris quickly fell to her knees before Mrs. Graham. “Ma'am, I'm so sorry for everything that just happened. It was all a misunderstanding. Please don't fire me because I need this job for my son's school.”
“You should have thought of that when you let your rogue of a son hit my precious Pius. Now you've turned my daughter against her family.”
“I'm sorry, you can't continue working here.” Brett Graham snorted while glaring down at the woman on her knees.
“Stop this Mom, it's so embarrassing. She's just another human being like you and not God. You don't have to knee down before her.”
“Come on, let's get out of here and stop being their objects of humiliation.” Adolphus angrily blurted out while trying to help his reluctant mother up, his burning eyes fixed on Brett and Pius too.
He wasn't going to let them continue to humiliate his mother.
“For a church rat like you, you do have some pride in you.” Brett Graham spoke in disdain but Pius began to laugh.
“Mom, I'm sure that you'll take back your words when you see this same rat running errands for other students in school. There's no pride left in him when money is involved.”
Without giving them anymore reason to insult him and his mother, Adolphus took Doris away and out of the Graham's estate.
He was just about to hail a cab when a voice called out to him. “Adolphus, wait up.”

His laughter lasted for some time, and Svetlana didn't even feel offended by it. The man she took the phone from only stood aside, watching her with so much confusion on his face.He really wanted to snatch off that phone from her ears. However, he just let her be in the meantime, waiting to find out what she was up to.“You've gotta be kidding me, Svetlana. What are you talking about?" Adolphus said to her when he was done laughing.“You're suddenly in love with me after learning about my identity.” Adolphus added coldly. “Please, don't you dare call my number again, or I'll have you arrested.”Adolphus ended the call even before she could utter another word, leaving her moping at nothing in particular, the phone still pressed to her ear.“Give me back my phone if you're done making the call so I can leave this place at once. I can see that you've gone insane and I don't want to be associated with a mad person.” The older man's voice called out, snatching his phone off her ear.He s

Abigail understood clearly why her mother was suddenly acting so sweet to her. They've seen the news about Adolphus and as expected, they'd surely want to talk to her about it.She stopped walking and turned to them, keeping a very serious face as she greeted her parents.Brett walked up to her, her face lit with a very bright smile as she cupped Abigail's face. “My beautiful daughter, you've really won the price. I'm sorry for everything we said about you and Adolphus." “In fact, we're taking back our words because we've realized that we're wrong. You and Adolphus belong to each other." Abigail scanned their faces and could see something like excitement on them. They were happy but she could also see that uncertainty on their faces. It was as a result of what they did to Adolphus in the past. They were scared as well, scared or what Adolphus would do to them especially with his new status.Abigail let out a dry chuckle and shook her head many times. After a moment of silence, she

Adolphus thought about Bradley's words and decided to listen to him.He was right. What Abigail needed at that time was to be on her own without him bothering her.She needs to get used to learning the truth about Adolphus.It was still looking like a dream as she made her way home that night.While Bradley drove Adolphus home, Abigail's parents were in their sitting room, totally in awe about the news they watched. The news about Adolphus being the son of Nicolas McAllen.They didn't believe it at first, but the news was all over various TV channels.In fact, every television station was talking about him and there was no way they'd all be lying.For that reason, they had no other choice but to believe the news.Brett turned to her husband whose mouth was open in shock. The shock of the news they'd received.“Am I the only one who saw the news?" She muttered the question and her husband shook his head a few times.“No, I saw it too." Benson replied back to her, their eyes fixed on ea

Abigail had just learned that he was the anonymous student in school. “I can explain, Abigail. Please don't hang up. Or we can meet up now if you want. I'll tell you everything." “There's nothing to talk about, Adolphus." Abigail shot back at him before adding coldly. “You've been deceiving me all this time and now you want to talk?" “Just let me be. I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again. Enjoy your wealth and know that I'm not interested in it. I'll never be." With that, Abigail ended the call and blocked Adolphus's number. She had nothing to say to him anymore. Or maybe she was just so angry and was acting according to her mood.For the rest of the day, Abigail could not get Adolphus off her mind and the deceit. She couldn't even do her job properly as the thought of everything clouded her mind.It was so heartbreaking that someone she's trusted so much would lie to her.Does he think she'd be interested in his money?Adolphus, on the other hand, could not con

As he addressed the executive, Adolphus felt so bold. A boldness he didn't know he had.He discussed briefly with them and surprisingly, they were corporating and the conversation was flowing well.Only those two men opposed him in a few circumstances. The men who had earlier questioned his capability.Adolphus replied politely to everyone who asked him a question. All he needed was their corporation and they promised to give it to him. He also needed to do a great job in order to earn their trust.Less than an hour later, the meeting was finished and Adolphus went to start his job as the CEO. His father's office was handed over to him while Nicolas took over a different office as the Chairman of McAllen corporation.He had no intention of relaxing and leaving all the work for Adolphus.His job was not yet done, especially as Adolphus was still a newbie.Inside the luxury office that had become his own, Adolphus took in a deep sigh and went to sit on the swivel chair, his bright face

The sudden announcement left everyone in a state of bewilderment and they began to whisper amongst themselves again.The news was a shocking one as Nicolas had never shown any sign of replacing himself.He was still active as the CEO and Chairman and did his work well.Was he retiring already?As if he read their minds, Nicolas quickly answered the questions in their mind.“I'm not yet retiring. I'm simply stepping aside for him to take the mantle of leadership. The earlier he learns how to manage the McAllen empire, the better for me, for us." At that moment, Nicolas sounded like someone who was speaking gibberish. The executives could not comprehend anything he was saying.Who was he referring to as the one taking up the mantle of leadership?"Mr. McAllen. You're still beating about the bush. Who's this person you're referring to? Why not go ahead and introduce him already.” One person stated and Nicolas nodded his head in agreement."Of course.” He muttered, turning to Kincaid and
