2026-02-15 07:40:01Chris kneeled in front of the Godfather, praying earnestly that he hadn’t crossed the most powerful man in the city.
“Look at me, son.” the don’s powerful voice called out to Chris.
Chris gently looked up. Immediately, his eyes glowed red as well as the Godfather’s.
“Your eyes… they’re red like mine.” Chris said with a puzzled look on his face.
Don chuckled, “Of course, my son. You are my grandson.”
Chris violently shook his head, “No… no way. I’m an orphan.”
“Not anymore.” The Don said in a low commanding tone.
As he spoke, he sat on his chair like a king.
Chris was confused.
All his life, he was called a nobody. A person without relations or family.
He even got used to being alone all his life till he met Charlotte.
How could he be the Godfather’s grandson?
It just doesn’t make sense.
“Wait…. But…” he said as he tried to approach the Godfather.
Instantly, the bodyguards stopped him from going further.
The Don raised his hand authoritatively, “Let him go.”
The men let him go and bowed to the Don.
“Chris, I know you have questions but now is not the time.” the Don said calmly.
“Why not?” Chris demanded.
Don Mikaelson sighed, “I’m getting old and I’m going to need an heir. And as my grandson, I can think of no better person than you to inherit my throne.”
He cleared his throat and continued, “So Chris Greene, would you like to take your place as my underboss and succeed me as the next Godfather?”
Chris stared at him, stunned. He? The next Godfather? How could destiny turn so sharply?
“You think I have what it takes? I’m just a nobody.” Chris said in a beat.
The Don chuckled. Then said, “Not yet. If you want to inherit the throne, you must first survive ten trials. Only then will you be fit to lead the Mikaelson syndicate.”
Don looked at him intently, “Or you could take a one time offer of $1 billion.”
Chris’s eyes widened.
“Walk away. Live your life in bliss. But you can never be part of this life again.” The Don finally said.
He clapped his hands and immediately, Lynda brought in the ring and the debit card.
He was to choose one of them.
Chris was in a dilemma
“A billion dollars or ten trials to become the head of the Mikaelson syndicate.” Chris said to himself.
“Have you come to a decision, my boy?” the Don asked in a low commanding tone.
“Yes, sir.” Chris said as he shook his head.
He picked up the debit card and smirked, “A billion dollars? It’s pretty decent compensation for abandoning me as a child.”
Don tightened his wrists. “Is he really picking the card?” he said to himself.
“But I want more.” Chris continued.
He picked up the ring, “I want to be your underboss or more precisely, the new Godfather.”
The Don laughed, “My boy. Your ambition is even greater than I imagined. I like it.”
Chris put the ring on his finger and smiled.
“That is called the eye of power. It’s the only one of its kind. Wear it, and you’ll be treated as a VIP at every Mikaelson syndicate establishment.” Lynda explained.
Chris nodded his head.
He was ready to do whatever it would take him.
He faced the Godfather, “So what’s next?”
The Don laughed again. Chris was being passionate and he loved it.
“If you want to be initiated, you must first face the ten trials. They’ll be dangerous and I won’t be there to help you but with each one you pass, you’ll gain money, power, women and anything your heart desires.” Don said passionately.
“So, what’s first?” Chris asked, standing strong.
“Lynda will fill you in.” Don said as he majestically stood up.
“But first, I need you to come to me. I want to show you something.” He said as he gestured with his hand to Chris.
Chris stepped closer carefully.
As soon as he got closer to the Godfather, he grabbed him by his shoulder and said, “Look into my eyes.”
Chris looked and immediately their eyes locked, it glowed red again but this time, the Don passed down his supernatural power to Chris
Chris groaned loudly, “Ha! What did you do to me?”
“Our eyes are the eyes of the Rom and I have awakened them in you with my blessing. Use them well.” He said with a powerful tone as he laughed softly.
The Godfather walked out as his bodyguards followed him.
Lynda called out to Chris, “Shall we begin?”
Chris smiled at her, “Yes, please.
They left the mansion together in a Mercedes Benz.
As Lynda drove, she explained his first task to him.
“Your first task is very simple, Mr. Greene.” She began.
“The Fin family is hosting a charity auction at our auction house. And the Godfather wants you there as our VIP.”
Aileen, Lynda’s assistant, was also with them. “Just show up with your signet ring and they should let you through.”
Chris looked at the ring again, “Okay… okay… but what’s the actual test?” he asked.
“The Godfather wants you to win auction item 15 but the money, that part’s on you.” Lynda said with a smile.
“What!?” Chris exclaimed. “Come on. I’m dead broke.”
“Exactly. That’s the whole point.” Lynda said as she gave him an assuring smile.
Panic rose inside Chris.
Where would the money for the auction item come from?

“I don’t know who you are, but I will not let you talk about my Chris like that. Unless… you want to end up bankrupt too?” she said easily.Charlotte shook slightly. She won’t let tonight ruin all the hard work she has put in the Woods corporation to waste all because Chris.She turned to Veronica, “Just drop it, Vee.”Then she continued, facing Chris. “You haven’t answered my question. Did you get the VIP invite from Michelle?” she asked again.“That… is none of your business.” Chris responded with a smile.“Chris! I know, I hurt your fragile male ego when we got divorced. But it was your fault and you know it too!” she accused.“Excuse me?” Chris asked, bewildered.“When you showed up today, all powerful… for a second, I thought, you finally got your life together. Guess you are a disappointment after all.” She said, shaking her head.“Oh you are one to talk.” Chris looked at her in disgust.“It doesn’t matter! Because you are still a loser. All you do is to hide behind powerful and

Just as they were wondering who Chris Greene in, an elegant lady with porcelain-like skin and gorgeous blonde hair walked in.“What’s wrong with my fiancé putting a few CEOs in their place?” Michelle Antonio said with a huge smile.She walked straight to Chris and immediately locked hands with him.Chris looked at her confused.Fiance? He last time he checked he was recently divorced and is currently single.He tried to say something to her but her innocent gorgeous smile melted his stone-cold heart.“Why does she look so familiar?” he asked himself.Michelle’s voice broke out again, “Chris Greene is my savior and the love of my life. That should give him every right to do whatever he wants to.”“What!? He is engaged to the Michelle Antonio?” Kent couldn’t help but to exclaim as he said.“I didn’t know he had ties to the Antonio family.” Jason said in disbelief.Charlotte shook violently with anger and jealousy, “When were you… uh! Chris! How did you end up like this?”Chris looked at

“As soon as Mr. Greene gives the order, we can have you all disappear.” Aileen said frankly.Charlotte and the others flinched slightly.“Mr. Greene, don’t you think that’s a bit overboard??” Mr. Tom asked“How so?” Chris responded.“Well, like we said, it was all a misunderstanding. And we are even willing to offer something to make up for it.” Kent quickly said.“You think I need your money?” Chris asked them, stunned by their foolishness.“Yeah. Between the three of us, we covered the entire market in the city. Dining, leisure, fashion, hospitality, you name it!” Jason said.“Not to brag, Mr. Greene. But, we hold all the cards as far as industry is concerned. And you are not the dealer.” Tom said proudly.“You sure about that?” Chris casually asked.“You are not high enough on the ladder.” Tom said angrily.“Tom Worth.” Aileen tried to warn him.“Oh, please, Ms. Aileen. I respect Mikaelson’s authority. But this man… is just another VIP at an auction house. I don’t care if he got in

“If you are the real deal, why don’t you show us something we haven’t seen before?” Veronica asked with an attitude.“Oh please, you would faint from the shock.” Chris responded calmly.“Shut up, Chris! All you do is to talk as if any of us would ever believe you.” Charlotte said mockingly.“Fine. If that’s what you want, we’ll give it to you. Aileen, tell them who I am.” Chris said as he faced Aileen.Aileen nodded slightly, “If you think Mr. Greene is just here on a VIP experience package, you’re wrong! He leaked that fake intel on purpose to see who would fall for it. Mr. Greene is actually Mikaelson syndicate’s ultimate guest of honor.”Everyone stared at her dumbfounded, shock striking through their bones.“What!? No way!” Fabio said in disbelief.“So, there are actually two VIPs here tonight?” Mr. Tom also asked in disbelief.‘The first one’s Ms. Michelle. That I know. But, you are saying the second one is… this guy?” Kent said pointing angrily at Chris.“He is on par with Anton
Chapter 14
In a private room at the auction house, news got to Ms. Michelle Antonio that her item was sold for 10 million.“What? My painting just sold for 10 million!? Who is the buyer?” she asked excitedly.“It was purchased for a Mr. Chris Greene, ma’am.” Her assistant Angelica told her.“Chris Greene…” she thought for a second.She remembered the little boy that had saved her when she was being chased by a bull dog.She remembered the boy had said his name was Chris Greene.She gasped excitedly, “We are going to the auction, Angelica. I have to meet him in person.”She happily walked out of the room.Back at the auction room, Aileen continued with the biddings.“Starting at $100, 000.” She said pointing at a gold necklace.“300,000.” Kent raised his hand.“700, 000.” Mr. Tom countered.“How much did we spend?” Fabio asked Charlotte in a low tone“Three million. Chris is still the top sender of the day so far.” Charlotte responded.“Fuck! Fucking charity auction. They are not even selling any

Fabio, Charlotte and Veronica turned sharply in disbelief.Peter Kent laughed out, “Look at this low life trying to buy back what little remains of his dignity.”“What did he just bid? A hundred thousand!?” Jason asked in disbelief.“That’s probably his entire net worth.” He added.“Jesus, Chris. Of all things, that’s what you are going to bid on?” Fabio asked in disbelief.“I made my move. The ball’s in your court now.” Chris said as he shrugged his shoulders.“I told you. I’m not going to let you go home with anything today. Not even trash like this.” Fabio said, determination evident in his voice.“200,000.” He said confidently.Chris smirked but a memory surged through.He remembered rescuing a little girl from a bull dog when he was younger.“Could this memory be connected to this item?” he asked himself.But now was not the time to be distracted so he continued to bid. “500,000.”“1 MILLION.” Fabio countered.“1 million is chump change to the DeLuca family.
