The Rise Of Lord Almero

The atmosphere at the dining table seemed calm as usual, no one made a sound, the three of them were busy finishing the food on their respective plates. Until a man's voice broke the silence.

 "Mother and father. "I'm going on holiday to Turkey for a few months," said a 25-year-old man known as Elan. Likes to waste money, doesn't want to work and always wants to live a luxurious life, his attitude is still like that of an elementary school child who always asks to be pampered.

 "Elan, you're an adult, you still like playing with women, you should help me take care of the company and not have fun incoherently like what you've been doing all this time," reprimanded Almero, who has been managing the Gladwin Group company.

 "Stop talking Almero, don't act like you are the one who will inherit the company," growled Elan, not accepting Almero's words.

 Joni nudged his wife's hand, asking her to break up the argument, their plans could all fail if Elan couldn't control his words and would reveal everything before the time came.

 “Never mind, it's still very early, you two don't argue. "Elan, if you want to go then do it now and let Dad send you the money," said Lili, Elan's mother, who always loved and defended Elan, making her second child spoiled and unable to live without the help of her parents.

 "Mother, it's the best," answered Elan by kissing Lili on both foreheads in turn.

 Elmero noticed the way his mother spoiled Elan, and he didn't like it, it was fitting for his little sister to be spoiled like this. But if you think about it, since childhood, his parents have always defended Elan as if Almero was not their biological child.

 "Almero, Elan still wants to have fun, just let him, later when he gets tired and tired of all those women, then Elan will take care of the company together with you," said Joni with her hand gently rubbing her first son's arm.

 "Almero, don't you have an important meeting with shareholders this morning, so you have to eat more than usual? I believe you will finish everything," persuaded Lili, trying to divert Almero's attention from his emotions towards Elan.

 "Almero will try his best to do it," Almero answered without thinking much.

 "Work very hard because in a few months I will appoint you as heir to the company if you are capable," said Joni.

 "Thank you because Mom and Dad believe in Almero," replied Almero with a sweet smile, he was even more enthusiastic about working.

 ***

 Almero felt very happy because in the end, the hard work he had done was not in vain, his father and mother would make him the main heir of the Gladwin company-a company that Almero had grown to this point and even had several branches in other countries, what an achievement which is not easy for him.

 The sound of a knock on the door interrupted Almero's thoughts.

 “Come in,” said Almero.

 Slowly the door began to open, a beautiful woman was seen wearing a red dress, sexy, beautiful and seductive.

 "Zili, you've finally come," said Almero as he pulled the woman into a warm embrace.

 "I'll come if you need me, now tell me why you called me here," Zili asked as she clung to Almero's arm.

 Almero and Zili have been in a relationship for 2 years. Almero said he would make Zili his wife when he had everything, and Zili agreed.

 "This morning, father and mother said they would make me the heir to the Gladwin company in a few months and when that time comes, I will immediately propose to you in front of many people," said Almero with a look full of love.

 Zili immediately hugged Almero very tightly, she really liked the news that Almero gave her. They have been waiting for this good news for a long time.

 "I will faithfully wait for that day to come, the day when you become the heir to the Gladwin company, didn't I tell you that you will own this company because thanks to your hard work the Gladwin Group company has become as big as it is today," explained Zili with a happy smile.

 Without Almero and Zili realizing that now a man was watching the two of them from the door of this room which was slightly open, and that man was none other than Elan.

 Several months later.

Today the Gladwin family is holding a big party involving state officials, colleagues from the business world and even top artists in this country.

 The food is lined up neatly on long tables, complete with chefs who make the dishes directly in front of the invited guests. The beautifully decorated lights make this evening's party even more magnificent. Yes, this is the party Almero has been waiting for, where he will become the legal owner of the Gladwin Group company.

 Almero wore a black tuxedo, so perfect with his handsome face, the beautiful Zili had been standing beside him for a long time wearing a red dress with a low cleavage, Zili held his arm gracefully, all eyes looked at them with admiration and longing. The journalists captured pictures of the two of them looking very harmonious, really like kings and queens tonight.

 Zili is a top model in this country and everyone is familiar with her face always roaming the television screen.

 "Zili, you enjoy this dish first, I'm going to meet father and mother," said Almero, who was immediately answered with a nod of his head.

 "Mother father. "When will the event start, all the invited guests have been waiting for a long time," said Almero with a face beaming with happiness.

 "You're so impatient, wait for Elan to come, then we can start," replied Joni with a straight face.

 "My son hasn't come yet, let him come first," said Lili as if to say that Elan was the only son and not Almero.

 "Did Mom and Dad forget that Elan is on holiday?" Almero asked, he was starting to feel that there was something strange about his parents' behavior tonight.

 "Father, Mother, I have come." Almero turned towards Elan, who had now joined them.

 "My son, you finally appeared," said Lili as she hugged Elan lovingly.

 "I will announce the main heir to the Gladwin family," said Joni.

 Almero's eyes widened perfectly, he was shocked by what his father said, yesterday the man said that he would make Almero the heir of the Gladwin Group company and not the main heir of the Gladwin family.

 "Mother, did father say something wrong?" Almero asked.

 "He didn't say anything wrong, we held this grand event on purpose to inaugurate the main heir of the Gladwin family," explained Lili with a flat face, not a trace of a smile or the friendly gaze that Lili usually showed Almero.

 "Hopefully this is just my feeling," said Almero to himself.

 "Honey, get ready to go up on stage after Joni says your name," said Zili with a sweet smile.

 All the invited guests looked at the stage, no one spoke, the media were also ready with their cameras, not wanting to miss a single moment. The Gladwin family is not the number one family in this country, but it is ranked among the 10 most influential people who are always respected in this country.

 "Thank you to the invitees who took the time to attend tonight's party. As you all know, we, the Gladwin family, will appoint the main heir to our family," said Joni while looking around at her guests.

 "Father, tell me quickly, the invited guests must be impatient," continued Lili with a sweet smile.

 "Honey, get ready to go upstairs," said Zili, to which Almero immediately nodded his head.

 Almero looked at Elan, who was smiling broadly. Who knows what his little brother was thinking now, Almero didn't know.

 Almero returned his gaze to Joni. Almero walked slowly towards the stage so that when his name was called he could immediately go up to join his parents, he thought. But Almero's steps stopped after he heard the name Joni mentioned. And that's not his name.

 "The main heir of the Gladwin family is Elan Gladwin, he is my only son, our biological child."

 "What does this mean?" Almero thought.
