I was an orphan, raised in foster care.
My girlfriend left me for a guy who was richer.
I had nothing, owned nothing.
But life took a dramatic turn when I received news that my grandfather, whom I had never met or known about, died and left behind an inheritance worth billions of dollars.
The shocking part was that I was his only heir.
Suddenly, the poor boyfriend became a rich boyfriend overnight.
The news of my inheritance spread like wildfire.
Everyone was talking about it, everywhere, on social media, blogs, news channels, etc.
I became the talk of the town overnight.
People who never knew me existed suddenly became my friends.
Those who mocked me and called me poor suddenly became fans.
Those who wronged me suddenly became remorseful and apologized.
But I never forgot how I was treated when I had nothing.
I retreated to my newly acquired penthouse, letting all the calls go to voicemail.
My phone was buzzing nonstop with notifications and messages.
I sat at my desk and opened the leather-bound journal my grandfather had left behind.
It was filled with his business strategies, personal philosophies, and insights into the world of finance.
The city lights twinkled outside my window as I began to draft a detailed five-year plan.
I listed the companies I wanted to acquire, the people I needed to meet, and the deals I wanted to close.
At the bottom of the list, I wrote a single name: Megan.
My hands shook as I scribbled it down.
Just then, there was a knock on my door.
It was Ella, carrying a tray of food like she used to do before everything changed.
I sat at my marble kitchen counter, watching Ella unpack the containers of homemade lasagna, garlic bread, and a green salad.
The aroma wafted through the air, reminding me of the countless nights she had brought me dinner to my cramped studio apartment.
"Thanks, Ella," I said, taking a bite of the lasagna.
"You know I can cook for you now."
She smiled and patted my shoulder.
"I know, but I like doing it. Besides, you've been so busy with everything."
I nodded and continued eating while scrolling through my phone.
I pulled up Jeremy's number and typed out a quick text message.
"Need intel on Marcus Holdings," I sent, referring to the company where Megan's new boyfriend worked.
Jeremy was an old friend from the orphanage who had made a name for himself as a private investigator.
I trusted him with my life, and he always came through when I needed something done discreetly.
Ella noticed my distant expression and asked, "What are you up to?"
I showed her the journal entry about gathering strategic information before making a move.
"I'm going to see Jeremy," I said, finishing my food and grabbing my keys.
Ella nodded and began cleaning up the dishes.
I walked out of the penthouse and into the garage, where my new Tesla was waiting.
I had bought it a few days ago, but this was my first time driving it.
The engine purred smoothly as I pulled out onto the streets.
The downtown area where Jeremy's office was located was a far cry from the luxury high-rise I now called home.
The buildings were run-down, graffiti covered the walls, and people milled about on the sidewalks.
I drove past a group of homeless people huddled together for warmth.
Through the tinted windows, I recognized three of them from when I used to live on these streets.
I made a mental note to send Jeremy some money to help them out.
Turning down an alleyway, I parked in the back of Jeremy's building.
The fire escape creaked as I climbed up to his second-floor office. The door was unlocked, just like always.
Jeremy looked up from his desk as I entered.
His eyes widened when he saw me standing there in my tailored suit and designer shoes.
"Hey, man," he said, standing up to shake my hand.
"Long time no see."
I took in the familiar surroundings of his office: stacks of filing cabinets, old coffee cups littering the desk, and surveillance photos plastered on the walls.
Jeremy gestured for me to take a seat and handed me a folder filled with documents and photographs.
"Marcus Holdings," he said, pointing to the name on the folder.
"I dug up everything I could find."
I opened the folder and scanned through the contents: financial reports, business deals, employee profiles.
But what caught my attention were the surveillance photos of Marcus Holdings' CEO meeting with known criminals. My hands clenched into fists as I saw Megan's boyfriend shaking hands with a man who looked eerily familiar.
Jeremy leaned back in his chair, watching my reaction closely.
"Recognize him?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
I nodded slowly, my mind racing. "That's the guy who used to run the foster home."
I spread the surveillance photos across Jeremy's cluttered desk, arranging them in chronological order.
The CEO of Marcus Holdings and the director of my former foster home were meeting in various locations, exchanging briefcases and envelopes.
Jeremy pulled up more files on his computer, showing wire transfers and shell companies.
The knot in my stomach tightened as I recognized some of the addresses: they were the locations where I had lived, suffered, and survived.
My hands clenched into fists as I pieced together the evidence.
"It's a scam," I said, my voice low and deadly.
"They're exploiting foster kids for their own gain."
Jeremy nodded grimly.
"It's been going on for years. They create shell companies, funnel money through them, and use the foster kids as fronts. It's a complex web, but once you see it, it's hard to miss."
I checked my watch; it was almost noon.
The CEO of Marcus Holdings had a weekly lunch meeting at a high-end restaurant downtown.
I stood up, straightening my suit jacket.
"Send everything to my lawyer," I said to Jeremy.
Jeremy nodded, his fingers already flying over the keyboard.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked, glancing up at me with a mix of admiration and concern.
I met his gaze, my resolve unwavering. "It's time to bring them down."
I sat in my penthouse office, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city.
The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the concrete jungle below.
I leaned back in my leather chair, scrolling through the detailed legal brief my lawyer had sent over.
It was a thick document, filled with evidence of every fraudulent transaction between Marcus Holdings and the foster care system.
There were fake invoices, inflated costs, and kickbacks that lined the pockets of both the CEO and my former foster home director.
My hands shook slightly as I read through the testimonies from other foster kids who had suffered like I did.
Their stories mirrored mine: neglect, abuse, and exploitation for the sake of greed.
Opening my laptop, I began drafting a press release that would expose everything.
The words flowed easily as I typed, fueled by years of suppressed anger and a desire for justice.
