The Incredible Anderson Denfield: path to power

04

That night, Anderson had just arrived in Bedford City for a secret meeting with one of his associates when he was attacked.

He managed to escape and was running in the empty street with his white shirt soaked with blood.

When he couldn't walk anymore, he collapsed to the floor and was slowly losing consciousness when a girl walked up to him, looking him in the eye.

His vision was blurry and her voice echoed softly in his ear.

He thought he was caught and smiled painfully and his world went dark shortly after.

By the time he opened his eyes, he met a pair of black hazel eyes staring at him.

He thought it was a dream.

He was meant to be dead by now.

He rubbed this eyes gently to see it was the same girl, staring at her with the same loving eyes as she did the night before.

that girl was Ashley.

During his healing process, they fell in love.

He decided to give up his life for her and placed Eduardo in charge of all his business, living a simple poor life.

He went undercover and got a delivery job.

He remembered how her mother and father persuaded her not to get married to someone as poor as him but she was defiant and still went ahead.

Back then, Ashley was a normal employee at a fast food restaurant and life was good.

The first year was full of love and care and slowly everything changed after that.

Complaints became more frequent and the distance grew bigger.

He had always thought it was the company she was working hard to build that changed her but he was all wrong.

Everything fits perfectly now.

He had planned that at their third wedding anniversary that is happening in two days, he would reveal the truth to her but he was glad she showed him her true color before then.

Over the span of those four years, he had turned down countless business offers, uncountable members of powerful families had reached out to him but he threw everything aside just for a life with her.

Everything was tucked in his room as he forgot to carry anything.

They were divorced anyway.

He didn't care if she saw them as he has no regrets of any sort.

Anderson planned to stay for only a month to settle all his unfinished business before traveling back to Switzerland.

" We are here, sire." the driver's voice brought Anderson out of his thoughts.

" Hm, okay." He got down and took in the magnificent structure before him. A lot had changed over the last fifteen years since his last visit here.

There was no one around to welcome him and he was grateful for that.

....

Meanwhile, Ashley was driving in her Mercedes Benz GLE with loud music blaring softly from the car speakers.

She was so elated to be finally done with Anderson.

Just then, she received a call from her father.

She connected it to the car speakers.

" How is my angel doing?" The old man's soft voice came from the other end.

" Very great, Dad. I'm so happyy "

" Hmm, share the news girl"

" I finally broke up with Anderson, Dad! I feel so free." She giggled loudly.

" Yes! that's my girl. Did you give him any compensation? "

" Why would I do that! I kept a roof over his head for three years and counting, doesn't that sound like enough compensation? " She sneered.

" That's sweet, I'm glad I trained you well."

" Of course. That's why I've always been a daddy's girl, hahaha. " she laughed heartily.

" In that case, you can tell Mr Kurt to visit me sometime. I'll make your mother cook the best of dishes and take the time to talk about your wedding preparations."

"Yes, daddy. Right now, I'm currently on my way to see him."she answered in a cheerful voice.

" Do well to greet him for me. After all, he's much more important and son to the fifth most prestigious family in Bedford city unlike your ex husband who's a nobody."

" I know, Dad. I'll bring him in, in one of our free time, thanks dad."

" Alright. I'll call you later. Enjoy your time together."

" Thanks Dad, bye." The call ended with a sweet smile on her cheek.

She can't wait to see Alex.

The more she thought of him, the more her yearning deepened.

Alex is rich, handsome, wears expensive clothes and takes good care of her unlike Anderson whose four month salary can't buy her dress.

She wondered how she even made it this far with him.

She and Alex would have been married by now if not that she was considering Anderson but it seems he was meant to die a pauper and she can't live with that.

And now, Anderson is out of the way, she and Alex would get married soon and she would be the pride of the Kurt family.

The thought alone sweetened her belly.

....

3:13 pm

Anderson had just rounded up the meeting.

There were guards following him behind but he ordered them to go claiming he needed to be alone.

He sighed gently as he walked.

When he arrived, He had to go through the stress of clearing his identity before he could be allowed in but he didn't take it to heart.

He understood the guards were only doing their jobs.

He decided to take a stroll through the building premises to cool himself.

Everything looked so different, he could hardly recognize anything.

The design of the building was still the same, it still looked elegant as usual and most important of all, it still maintained its beauty, looking even more beautiful.

He smiled to himself seeing the good job Eduardo had done.

He turned into a large hallway where people moved to and fro.

He smiled and walked amidst them.

He noticed there was an increased sense of security at every point and knew it was all for him.

He smiled and decided to take his leave since he still has other things to do.

As he was about to walk away, he heard someone call his name.

ANDERSON!

He turned slightly to a man dressed in black tuxedo

The man had perfectly curly hair, the type that looked like it took days to achieve.

He looked to be in late twenties.

Beside him was a woman dressed in a beautifully stoned blue gown, her hair was tied into two ponytails and she had incredible features.

His eyes raised a bit when he saw it was Ashley.

He looked at the man and assumed him to be the Alex she was talking about.

They were whispering and laughing with each other as they made their way to him.

Anderson frowned slightly.
