Chapter 4

"Young Master, But why?" 

"Please take your birthright, your position as an heir and make a new powerful comeback as Lopez's family blood."  

"For your enemies to know, now you discovered your true identity, and their fortune comes to an end." 

Carlos's words made Gaberial gape at him with a deep gaze before explaining his point of view, "Listen, Carlos, I know….You have shown great loyalty to my parents, and you wanted to give me back all this wealth to get yourself feel finally free from this huge responsibility."

"If you understand this, why are you rejecting your wealth and position like this? Why don't you want to come back?" Carlos's eyes fixed on his young Master to get his response, "Please answer my question."

Gaberial shut his eyes and crossed his fingers to rest his forehead over it for a moment, and after taking a deep breath, he raised his head and met his eyes with the icier look.

Carlos can see something changed inside Gaberial at this moment; he looked sharp with his eyes, and his expression changed, almost like he was someone else. 

Carlos could see Jack Lopez's expression on him, which somehow caused him to go a little calm, and spoke calmly, "Master…."

However, before he could say anything, Gaberial spoke before him.

"Carlos, I want to get my revenge on Gil first before I take this Lopez's position, and most importantly, I don't think it's the right moment for me to reveal my identity and come back." His voice turned thick as he clarified his consideration.

"Young Master, but taking the Lopez's position, you can destroy them in one finger movement." Carlos's eyes got serious. "You just need to give us orders and wait for us to do the task for you. You can watch them be destroyed in just one go."

"You don't need to hide and waste your luxurious time on this vengeance game for so long when you can just play a check-mate game with them. In your one-finger movement, they can see hell. I profess." 

Gaberial comprehended his words and nodded. 

With his enormous fortune, he can build or destroy anyone.

"Yes, you are right with your statement. But I want to make them suffer with my own hand. I want to see them demolish their lives in hell on their own hands." He filled with rage as his eyes turned sharper with fury and hate.

"I want to see them go worse to beg for their fortune. I don't want to go easy on them and destroy everything in one night. I don't want an easy game with them." 

"I hope, now, you understand." His expression darkened as he spoke all those words while he looked at Carlos; he regained his calm, composed back.

"Young Master…." Carlos felt speechless to see how his expression and words changed so much wisely in just a little talk.

"Carloes, I was safe till now because Gil thought I could never discover who my parents were and whom I belonged to. So, if I disclose my identity now, they will find a way to fight back, and I don't want that."

"And another factor, If I suddenly return in such a high position as the Lopez's last surviving heir, my family's other enemies would be alert, which would also be dangerous for me. As I always stay like a loser man in other eyes. No one will respect me even if I take that seat."

Carlos nodded, "I absolutely understand your point, young Master. You want to gain strength by punishing them and showing your worth."  

"In this case, I'll obey your words respectively." Carlos gladly smiled.

"Thank you for understanding, and sorry to make you still wait for me. But I'll take my position once when I'm completely ready. I promise to you." Gaberial assured him.

"I'll wait for that moment." Carlos felt proud to see his young Master precisely the same as his parents. 

"Young Master, if you want to learn anything related to your wealth or people, ask me. I'll help you to get all the answers." His reminder made Gaberial realise he still needed to learn how much wealth he got as Lopez. 

"Carlos, I want you to give me all the family assets details and how you made this all wealth work out till now without any master?" Gaberial fixed his calm expression and gazed at the butler for his response.

"Young Master, I prepared important details related to assets and property in this file. You can read and check all about it here." Carlos slid the file on the table before him and spoke, "I knew you would get curious about that once you know who you are. So, I prepared this in advance."

"Thank you, Carlos." Gaberial picks up the file and flips the first page. He started to check over it, and once he read, he was amazed and could not help but mutter unknowingly, "What the?"

He flipped each paper with amazement till he came to the last page and found himself speechless for a second before he raised his head and looked at the butler, "Is….Is it true?"

"1000 Million?" His voice did not hide his astonishment.

"Yes, Master, It's the value of your city's property. Your family are billionaires, and so you are!" Carlos happily explained this to his young Master.  

"W-What?" He could not help but feel speechless. 

He conveyed that he is wealthy. But this is more than he supposed. 

"Master, The Lopez assets do not only block here. You have more assets than this paper shows. You have uncountable lands and shares in reality. These files get only important ones, as I mentioned."

"So, what is the real value of my wealth?" Gaberial's eyes raised in shock that it was not an entire wealth.

"The true value is ultimate!"

"The file you are holding only contains state-level information. The international level assets still left the chart." Carlos's words made him pause, "You mean we got our wealth out of the country also?" He questioned him in doubt.

Carlos nodded with a small smile, "Yes, Master. You have uncountable assets and shares outside the country as well. You are even richer than your father's time because your wealth was increased daily through shares and interest." 

"How could you manage all of it alone, Carlos?" He could not help but admire the butler of his father.

Carlos smiled to understand his thoughts and explained, "After your father gone and Lopez corporation shut down. I needed to manage your wealth and find out where they took you. So, I made a small group with loyal people of your father in secret who helped me to protect all of the wealth, till now." 

"I can't believe you handled everything perfectly and waited for me till now. Thank you, Carlos." Gaberial felt respect for his loyalty.

"It's my responsibility, young Master. And now, hearing thank you from you, I feel I did well." 

"You did best." His smile made him return the smile back.

"So, Young Master, now as you know everything. What is your first order after seeing this?" 

Hearing him, Gaberial did not think long and answered in a straight tone, "For now,  All I need you to do is transfer a few large companies in my name and make a secret bank account to transfer a few million dollars into it. Make sure no one knows about it except you."  

"Got it, Master. It will be done in just an hour. You can reach me through this number if you need anything more." Carlos gave him a card. When Gaberial learned his number, he frowned and looked at him, "So, you are the one calling me this morning?"

"Yes. Young Master." Carlos smiled.

"I'll save that number."

"Thank you for all your hard work, Carlos."

"Now, I need to leave. I'm out for a long time. Sara would be waiting for me." Gaberial looked at his wristwatch.

"Okay, young master." Carlos bowed respectively. Gaberial nodded and turned. 

He glanced at the mansion with a deep gaze as Carlos informed him that this mansion belonged to him as well. He never thought that this kidnapping would change him like this. The poor man who could not find a simple job becomes a lost heir of some wealthy family. It still feels like a dream for him. 

After coming out, he saw the working men bow to him, and one of them opened the car gate for him. However, he denies them. The next moment, the cab arrived before him, and he took the seat to go house.

He had mixed feelings about what he had just witnessed and Whether he should share his true identity with his wife. What If it is going to be dangerous for her and their baby? He can't trust anyone right now.

"No, I need to hide my identity for now and first check on her safety. I hope she and our baby are fine." He was stressed for her all the time. 

When he was almost near to reaching the house, his phone got a new message, and he found out his new account had already been created and it had a 1,00,000,000 amount in it. He gasped for a second and finally realised this was all not a dream but genuinely happening to him. 

"I guess, now, I can at least tell Sara that I finally found a job, and she doesn't need to worry about money." 

The next moment, he thought about Jose's call and instantly paid the 25000 amount in his bank account. 

He received a call from him soon.

"Hello Gaberial, Did you just send me money?" He questioned.

"Yes, Jose, I got a new job, and this is my advance payment. Hope now you are not angry." 

"No, Bro, Sorry for my bad behaviour and thank you for sending me money. I need this so urgently, and congratulations on your job." Jose's words made him smile, "It's alright, Jose. If you need more money, you can ask for it."

"Thank you, Bro. You are a saviour." 

"It's alright." Gabriel felt glad that now he could help his friends just like they did.

He returned home with a relieved smile and opened the main door with his spare key. 

"Sara!" He called her, but he got no response. He walked inside, leaving the sitting area behind, to their room, where he found the door almost closed, leaving a slight gap. 

He opened the gate slowly and saw his wife standing on the balcony and speaking with someone on the phone. 

He frowned when he noticed her expression looked not so good. He opened the gate and entered inside. 

He approached the balcony door and heard the voices coming from her phone. She is on a video call with her family.

"Sara, I'll not hear anything. You need to divorce Gaberial. That's my last decision." Saara's father, Jack Gil, angrily shouts at her on a video call.

Gaberial's expression scowled at hearing that, but he stayed composed.

"Dad, I love Gabby, and most importantly, I'm now pregnant."

"I'll never divorce him," He saw his wife argue.

"I did not ask for your opnion."

"You will abort this child and leave that man." 

"Dad!" Sara's voice raised in anger while Gaberial tried hard to not go there and shout at him on the phone. 

"I'll never abort my baby, do you understand!" Her hand clenched on the phone tightly in rage.

"You will! Or else I'll drag you on my own to do that." 

Sara's eyes filled with tears and disappointment.

"Honey, let me talk to her." She heard her mother's voice, and the next moment, her mother's face came into view and looked angry.

"Sara, stop being childish!"

"What that son of bitch did for you in these past three years? He can't even feed you or get a job! Have you ever thought about how you will care for your baby without your husband's money help?"

"Mom, you don't need to care about that. Gabby will find a job. He will soon get a job. I know." Sara coldly answered.

"Just dream about that day. Because he was all failure till now." 

"And….most importantly, your father needs your help right now. As our daughter and what we did till now, you should fulfil our daughter's responsibility."

"So, you want me to do that by divorcing my baby's father?" She mocked her mother.

"Sara!"

"Why can't you listen, Mom? Are you dumb?" She suddenly saw that the phone was snatched by her brother Jose and he shouted at her angrily, "Do you know how much we are in trouble right now!" He greeted his teeth.

Sara frowned and asked, "What are you talking about, Jose?" 

“Divorce Gaberial, Sara. You should help us after how much we helped you all these years, even after your marriage to that looser." Saying that he gave the phone back to his mother. 

"Mom, what is Jose talking about?" Sara questioned. While Gaberial heard Jose's words, he got all his ears to listen to details.

"Listen, Sara, your father's company is in big trouble, and we desperately need a big contract to survive. If you leave that bastard and abort his baby. We have found someone who is excellent and wealthy as well. He will be ready to marry you and support you for a lifetime. While his wealth can get us so much help in the company. He got some resourceful man who can pull our company back to high." 

"Mom, still, I'm not going to do that." Sara refused again, making her mother go crazy in anger, "That's enough. I can't take your arrogant denial any longer. If you don't want to marry another guy, help us get a contract from Xing Company." 

"'Xing' company?" Sara questioned. 

"Yes, Xing company. We just found out they had placed a big contract in the market. If we get that contract, we can survive this tragedy." 

"But Mom, I don't know anything about them or bid. I can't help you get a contract from them." Sara left his father's company three years ago and did not get any clue about their business any longer.

However, her denial about this also made her mother out of control of her frustration, and she angrily announced," If you deny that. We will forget we have a daughter. And let me declare one more thing: whoever in our child helps us to get that contract. We will appoint the child as a family's CEO."

"Mom?" Sara's brows frowned, "Do you know what you are talking about?" 

"Yes, I know. So, remember, if you want to secure your place in Gil. You need to show your desire and how you will benefit our company. Or else, just sit and lose your right from your younger brother." 

"Mom?" She felt stunned by her mother's words. While saying all that, her mother disconnected the phone. 

Sara sighed and looked at the black screen with deep anger and irritation. She doesn't need business, but the way they blamed her and warned her. It hurt her.

Gaberial, who heard all his wife and in-laws talk, now understands why his brother-in-law phoned him this afternoon to divorce her. They require the contract. 

He clenched his hand in anger and thought they were not even thinking about their daughter. They were all blind for money's sake. He thought they were only evil with him, but he was wrong; they could eat their own kid also for their selfishness.

The next moment, he walked out of the room and phoned Carlos.

At the call,

"Hello, Young Master,"

"Carlos, I want you to learn about Xing Company and their contract." He ordered.

"Xing Company?" Carlos was a little stunned to hear that name.

"Yes, Xing." He replied.

"But Why Suddenly, Master? Is everything alright?" The butler questioned in doubt.

"Nothing grave, But I just discovered this is the right juncture to deliver Gil's family their first collision." His eyes darkened as he muttered those last words with a scowled expression.
