C8 Chapter 8

"They're under illusions."

"Great fools," he smirks.

"I just don't wanna delay getting rid of them. I have to learn management skills along the way, how to manage your empire. Can you hire someone to teach me that?"

"I can, I have Mr Richard Leo, he's my favorite business consultant. He studied business management and has lots of degrees in related fields at the famous Harvard University and other great colleges worldwide."

"Wow, I'll love to have him lecture me."

"That's gonna be from tomorrow, right?"

"Yes dad, as you wish."

"Not as I wish," Jackson chuckles.

"It's as you wish, you're my grandson, heir and everything to me now. So all lies on your shoulders, authority and everything, you'll soon take over from me."

"Oh," Ezio blushes wide.

"Is this a dream?"

"I know you've suffered for a long time and it's time to take your rightful place."

"Oh, so thrilling." Ezio embraces his dad.

The helicopter lands at Belos' estate, Ezio steps out with Jackson, the cool air from the sea surrounding it greets them, he has lots of plans running in his head right now, Daisy and Nancy would soon pay for the abuses they've executed on him.

Ezio leaves his wife's apartment being assumed to go driving, in truth, he heads to the Wit-can Group office to start his lecture session with his new consultant. Mr Richard has served his grandfather for years and was now gonna lead him through. With the old Alpha to train him on ruling the pack and Richard on the vast business empire, he's set to take over.

He first heads to the Wit-can pack estate to greet his granddad first. Along the stairs leading to his room, he wonders if he is even awake. He has no option but to continue.

"Good morning Alpha," a maid greets, bowing low.

"How may I help you Alpha."

He smirks. "I'm okay, good morning. I'm here to meet the old Alpha."

"He's still having his night's rest, and hasn't woken up yet." To her, she indirectly means that he doesn't want to be woken up whenever he's asleep.

She can't speak this out directly because of who Ezio is to her boss, she looks timid.

Ezio smiles, understanding what is going on in her mind. "I want to wish him good morning, hope there is nothing wrong with that?"

"Fine Alpha, you may go in." She steps forward and opens the door for him to go inside.

He gives a slight nod as gratitude, despite his new status, he still has manners and has learnt to respect women. Daisy has taught him this, although in a rude way.

His granny's room is more massive than he ever expected, this is his first time visiting him here, he has always seen him somewhere else in the Pack estate .

The tiles, walls and railings which lead to another room are luxurious.

The maid closes the door behind him soon after he walks inside, he walks further to the inner chambers where Jackson is lying on a red velvet covered bed, gold pillows. How does he cope with all these luxuries?

For someone that has spent years of his life in suffering, it's almost insane for him but he has to learn how to adapt. This would be his home, of course it's already a part-time home, soon to be full-time.

He taps his granny, making him shiver a bit. Who is disturbing me when I'm sleeping? He guessed him saying this inside him being that he had instructed all his staff not to let him get called while asleep, except for vital emergencies.

This wasn't an emergency, it's just a few minutes past seven. The lectures with Mr Richard Leo can wait but Ezio is so zealous to learn the basic facets of managing billions dollar business empire.

He didn't have the opportunity to go to college, all that would be possible now he's wealthy, he'd even register for an online degree program in Harvard, before then he needs the services of this consultant and after, he'd be his own personal consultant.

"Good morning grandpa!" He greets after Jackson opens his eyes, they are widened in shock.

"Woww, I'm surprised to find you here. Morning son, how did you get here? You know I've always asked no one to call on me while asleep but you're here!" He gives a slight grin full of satisfaction.

Ezio is wondering what he'll say next.

"You're the exception." He finally adds to his ego, at least he's now special and doesn't fit me into the ordinary class of people in the public. Kudos to him, he's gone a milestone in his life.

"So what brought you here so early?" Jackson gets curious to ask.

"Yeah, I'm out driving and decided to come meet you. I was told by the maid, "you don't usually like people waking you up from your slumber?"

"Yes, I don't." He snaps.

"Hope I didn't offend you. I'm sorry for waking you up grandpa."

"Why are you bothered, you're my son and this is even more special than any emergency."

"Woww, thanks for the privilege." He gives a warm smile, walks over and gives a perk on both cheeks of Jackson.

"I love you so much. I was too enthusiastic to have your consultant lecture me. I just can't wait."

Jackson erupts into a loud laughter.

"So that's what made you come, indeed you're funny."

Ezio is amused. "How grandpa?"

"Hey, call me dad from now on. You're now my boy, my son, everything."

"Really?"

"Yes!"

He rises up and gives Ezio a passionate hug. The type that fits a man who has lost his son for a long time and is more than happy to have him back.

He asks him to wait for him while he goes to brush his teeth and have a bath.

Ezio looks at him in admiration, he still has the perfect body even when he's old. He dreams to be like him and would soon start visiting the gym and taking body building lessons.

"So how is your mate, sorry Daisy, her mom and most especially, your son?" Jackson asks over breakfast.
