Rose to Fame: CEO Of A Multibillionaire Company Overnight

Chapter six: best friends

Chapter Six: Best friends.

Years ago, his son, James Magnus took along with his family including Jackson, his grandson and escaped from the duties of being an heir to a great empire. He vanished overnight with no trace. The next few years later, he found their body yet no trace of Jackson’s own.

They were ambushed that same night they ran off and none survived. He was lucky to discover his grandson living with an old woman in the countryside. He funded her with money and sent Jackson to the city where he could be under his care.

“My father?” He muttered and a beeping sound came from his old, second hand blueberry. The statement written boldly on his phone caused him to be thrown into a dilemma. His legs wobbled and he gazed into the old man’s eyes. “Is three hundred million nothing to you people?” He was on the verge of crying and also, confused by his own identity as Jackson, the young lord heir to the throne.

First thing first, he settled in his mind and made up his mind to save Mrs Harrison first and then the remaining money he would spend the night in a hotel and next day, run off to another country. He was unsure of his plan but had to go with it because why…?

They were not to be easily trusted! There must be more reason to their recruiting him as the heir.

Julian thanked the old man and hurried off to the hospital. When gone, the leader bowed his head and made mention of what he had in mind.

“Are you not troubled that he might run away?” He asked, dumbfounded why the old man allowed him to run off like that after the whole years they had taken to get his whereabouts and catch him where they wanted. Sometimes he did the most unimaginable things no one could figure out.

“Where does he want to run to, Kian? Every part of this country is dominated by my men. No matter where he goes to seek refuge, I will find him sooner or later.” Eden walked back to the chair and sat down. He crossed his legs and put on the big screen in the television.

Julian’s face popped up on his screen, showing he was already in the hospital, paying up the bills. He increased the volume of the television and chuckled. Every single thing of his life from birth up until adulthood was displayed on the big, flat screen.

“This damn boy thinks he can run away? He is planning on sleeping in a hotel and running away.” Eden repeated Julian’s exact words he said after paying the bills. “Kian, this is when you are needed. Do not let him board a flight to another country.

“Repeat the story again! It is hard to believe someone would lend you that huge sum of money. He must want something in return. You must be careful about signing such deals with that man. The rich loves to oppress the poor.” Smith, his male best friend who had been with him through thick and thin said. He was also the attending surgeon for Miss Harrison.

They were both struggling to make ends meet and fortunate for Smith, he broke out of his own misfortune and became rich, making more than a thousand dollar every week. He grew into the best surgeon in Milano city too while for Julian, life only turned out to be worse.

“Let me first save Mrs Harrison then the money remaining I can use it to fly out of the country. I only need some favor from you. While I am away, help me take care of Mrs Harrison. Any decline in health you can report it to me. I will hustle harder to pay her bills.” He said and transferred the money to Smith’s account.

Truth be told, Mrs Harrison’s debts were settled by Smith. The hospital bills were paid off over night by him too. Julian felt guilty for the burden he put on Smith’s shoulders and decided to pay him back, although Smith kept repeating to him that it was merely an act of good will. They were friends, brothers and family.

“You know I will always be there for you bro…Do not overwork yourself.” He said lastly and led him out of the intensive care unit room where Miss Harrison was laid with tubes connected all over her body. They walked halfway through the hallway and stopped, both leaning on the wall and chatting away their time.

“I can never repay you in this life, Smith. You were always there for me anytime I need you. You bore my financial pains and shared it equally with me. What good did I do in my past life to meet you?” Julian gave him a brief hug and let go off him. He was very emotional as soon as it came to Smith and Miss Harrison.

Those two people are people he would under no circumstances stop thinking about in his lifetime and even the next. They were the best thing which came into his life. Not even Kyra could sacrifice so much like Smith did.

“Julian, you don’t have to be like this. You are a man for crying out loud. Men don’t be emotional, we bottle things up and face the harsh truth of life unless you are a transgender, or are you?” He jokingly teased him. Smith rested his palms on his shoulders and gave it a pat. “Friends right?”

“Friends…The night is no longer young again. I will call you after I successfully carry out my escape plan.”

“Good luck. It reminds me, is tomorrow not you and Kyra’s wedding? Why are hurrying out of the country? Do not tell me you are ditching her because you have seen money which can sustain your lifetime.”

“Kyra and I are in the past, she cheated on me with my boss.”

“Wait, she did what…?”
