Nicholas heaved a sigh looking depressed, he had just lost his father to lung cancer. Every effort to save the deceased was to no avail.
It was a long battle and now the old man had given up the ghost, leaving a very big company in Nichola's name and properties too numerous to mention.
As the corpse was conveyed into a business jet, Nicholas blinked away the tears that had just gathered in his eyes. He wanted to be strong from the outside even though he was weak from the inside.
Same pain he felt when his mother, Mariana passed away in a ghastly car crash years back. But her death touched him more the fact that he was too small to comprehend.
At precisely 10am the business jet sped and climbed into the air en route El Salvanis, the country's capital, where his father's corpse would be buried in the national cemetery.
His father was a hero, people praised him for his generosity. He had lifted many citizens of Salvania out of poverty and had sponsored many to school.
In his last moment on sick bed before death claimed him, he smiled and said he had achieved his dream. The dream of helping humanity...
As the business jet finally touched the ground at El Salvanis International Airport, Nicholas was pulled out of his trance by the sudden vibration.
He looked through the window and found out they had just arrived and the pressmen were already outside waiting for him.
He gently unfastened his seatbelt and walked into the cockpit. "Tell the security guards outside to send the pressmen away" He said to the pilots in what seemed like a whisper.
"Alright sir" The captain nodded and did as instructed while the first officer by the right hand side focused his attention on the flight instruments.
Nicholas sighed in relief as the security guards began dispatching the pressmen. The business jet was then taxied into a hanger and everyone onboard hopped out.
It was a short drive to the national cemetery. While the burier was taking place, the whole internet was flooded with the news of the death.
Among the people that benefited from the deceased, many took to their social media handles to mourn his death. It was really a great loss.
However, some had already began contemplating as to if Nicholas would continue with his father's legacy. They expressed fear since Nicholas was known to be a not-so-friendly person and a pervert.
After the burier, the cemetery was deserted. Nicholas flew back home and locked himself in his father's grand mansion, he wanted to be alone for at least some time.
His head ached and his heart beat as if it was going to explode. He couldn't stop thinking about his father. Some years back it was his mother, and now his father? What had he done to deserve such loss?
He clenched his fists trying hard to control himself. He thought isolating herself at home would make him feel better but it only made things worst, the house was filled memories... lingering memories of his parents.
He took his car keys and drove out like a maniac, his security guards quickly trailed him in a black SUV. The speed of their car was no match for his Lamborghini but they made sure he wasn't out of their sights.
On reaching Caligulas Casino, one of the best gambling places in the city, he pulled over and handed his car keys to a valet parking attendant standing an inch away from him. The attendant quickly collected the keys from him and drove the car to the parking lot.
His security guards arrived afterwards, they saw him entering the Casino and quickly followed him. He obviously wanted to be alone but that wouldn't be happening because people like him aren't safe without bodyguards.

Lena gave the paper in her hand one more glance before letting out a worrisome sigh. It was a pregnancy test result which indicated she was two months pregnant.
No doubt, Nicholas Brian the son of the founder of Global Airlines was the one responsible for it. He was her ex, someone she broke up with few weeks ago.
"That jerk!" She cursed recalling the time they spent together, he was a pervert and had wanted nothing more than sex from her.
At first she thought what he had for her was love but eventually realized he was only after her body. They met during her convocation at Northwest College where she obtained her college degree.
When he was summoned to the stage to make a speech unbehalf of his father whom was absent, his eyes landed on her and his attention was divided. She was sitting in the forefront together with the rest of the graduates.
After his speech, he reached out to her and gave her his card. That was how it started and in less than a year, they were already apart. It was a hard decision for her, it took her some time to redeem herself.
And now, just when she thought she was done with him she found out she was pregnant for him. Something told her to abort the baby, it would be better if she do that...no one had to know about it but wait a second, what if she die in the process?
She thought extensively before finally deciding to keep the baby. Wouldn't it be great if she keep it? She could be the mother of a billionaire in the future! She smiled evilly, placing her hand on her belly. She could definitely teach Nicholas a lesson too.
And if he reject the baby, she could take him to court. She could do anything in her power to fight for her child's right, even if it means doing anything!
She took her phone about dialing his contact when someone bounced into her room. Or should I say barged.
"How was the test result?" Said the person. It was her father.
"Fine dad, there is actually nothing to worry about. It's just... you know, stress" She lied smiling at him.
"Oh, I see!" He said smiling back at her. "Anyways," he continued. "I just want you to know I've been transferred to Vincity, so get your things ready 'cause we would be leaving tomorrow"
"What?" She puzzled. "Vincity? That's far!" She complained.
"Yes, far away from this creepy apartment building. I love that" He scoffed. "There is a whole new house waiting for us there, also I talked to someone and he's willing to get you a job there"
