I am Shane Weber, a poor guy who had been an orphan, adopted but not loved.
My girlfriend left me for a richer guy.
And now, I just found out that my grandfather was one of the richest men in the world.
I am his only heir.
My life is about to change dramatically.
"I'm sorry, Shane. I'm just not feeling it anymore," Penelope said as she stared at me with cold eyes.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Was this some kind of joke?
We had been together for two years, and now she was just telling me that it was over?
"Are you kidding me? What's not feeling right? You and I have been fine. We've been good together. What's wrong?"
I asked as I stared back at her.
Penelope sighed and crossed her arms over her chest as she looked away from me.
"We haven't been fine, Shane. A lot of times, I had to lend you money so you could pay your bills. You are poor, Shane. I need someone who can take care of me," she said coldly.
I felt like I had been punched in the gut.
She was breaking up with me because I was poor?
This was too much to handle.
I didn't know what to say or do.
I just stood there in silence, staring at her.
"I'm sorry, Shane. I really am. But I have to think about my future. And I don't see you in it," she said as she turned and walked away from me.
I stood there for a long time, trying to process what had just happened.
I couldn't believe that Penelope had broken up with me because I was poor.
It wasn't my fault that I didn't have much money.
I worked hard every day to try and make ends meet, but it was never enough.
And now, because of that, I had lost the one person who was supposed to love me no matter what.
I sighed and shook my head as I turned and walked away from the door.
I didn't know what I was going to do now.
But I knew that I couldn't stay here any longer.
I packed up my things and left the apartment, not knowing where I would go or what I would do next.
My life had just been turned upside down, and I didn't know how to put it back together again. I stand in my cramped studio apartment, methodically folding my worn t-shirts and jeans into a battered duffel bag.
The bare walls mock me - Penelope took all our photos when she left, leaving nothing but empty spaces that echo with memories of laughter and love now lost.
My hands shake slightly as I gather the few possessions worth keeping: my father's old watch, my high school diploma, and a small stack of rejection letters from job applications that never panned out.
The landlord's eviction notice sits crumpled on the kitchen counter, a harsh reminder of the reality that has been closing in around me for months.
With each item carefully placed in the bag, a sense of finality settles over me.
This is it - the end of a chapter in my life that once held promise but ultimately succumbed to heartache and financial struggles.
Sitting on my worn couch, I stare at my phone, debating whether to call Mike and ask if I can crash on his couch for a while.
Just as I'm about to make the call, an unknown number flashes on the screen.
I hesitate for a moment before answering.
"Hello?"
A formal voice greets me on the other end.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Weber. My name is James Morton from Morton & Associates Law Firm."
I furrow my brow, wondering who this could be and what they want with me.
"Yes, this is Shane Weber. What can I do for you?"
"I've been trying to reach you regarding an urgent matter concerning an inheritance," he explains, his tone professional but tinged with a hint of urgency.
My heart skips a beat as I process his words.
An inheritance?
From whom?
I have no living relatives that I know of.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about," I respond cautiously.
"Mr. Weber, we have reason to believe that you are the sole beneficiary of the estate of Henry Edward Weber, your grandfather," he continues, his words hanging in the air like a bombshell. My mind reels as I try to process what he's saying.
A grandfather?
I've never heard of him before.
How could I have a grandfather who left me an inheritance when I've never even known of his existence?
"This must be some kind of mistake," I manage to say, my voice shaking slightly.
"I assure you, Mr. Weber, there is no mistake," James Morton responds firmly.
"We have conducted extensive research and verified your identity through multiple sources. You are indeed the rightful heir to your grandfather's estate."
My head spins as I try to wrap my mind around this revelation.
A grandfather I never knew existed has left me an inheritance?
It sounds like something out of a movie or a dream.
But James Morton's words are unwavering and filled with conviction.
"Mr. Weber, it is imperative that you come to our office as soon as possible to discuss the details of your inheritance," he presses urgently.
"The matter is time-sensitive, and there are important decisions that need to be made."
Still trying to process everything he's told me, I nod absentmindedly, even though he can't see me.
"Yes, yes, of course," I stammer.
He gives me the address of the law firm and instructs me to come right away.
I hang up the phone in a daze, my mind racing with questions and doubts.
I take a deep breath, knowing that everything is about to change.
With trembling hands, I dial Mike's number.
I need to tell someone about this surreal turn of events.
The phone rings five times before he picks up, his voice groggy from the night shift he just finished at the factory.
"Hey, man," he says, his voice thick with sleep.
"Hey, Mike," I respond, trying to form coherent sentences.
"You won't believe what just happened."
I explain everything - the lawyer's call, the mysterious grandfather, and the inheritance that seems too good to be true.
Mike listens silently on the other end of the line, his breathing the only indication that he's still there.
When I finish, there's a long pause before he speaks.
"Man, this is huge," he says finally, his voice filled with a mix of disbelief and awe.
But beneath his words, I detect a hint of hesitation.
"Mike, can I crash at your place for a while until I figure things out?"
I ask tentatively.
There's another pause before he responds.
"Shane, I don't know if that's such a good idea. My girlfriend is moving in next week, and we need some space."
I nod understandingly, even though he can't see me.
"Yeah, no problem. I'll figure something out."
We exchange a few more pleasantries before hanging up.
I stare at my phone for a long moment after we disconnect, the weight of my isolation settling heavily upon me.
The lawyer's business card sits on the coffee table, his name and address printed in bold letters: "Morton & Associates, 1440 Park Avenue."
With a deep breath, I stand up from the couch and walk over to the duffel bag I packed earlier.
I grab it and take one last look around the apartment that has been my home for the past few years.
The bare walls and empty spaces mock me, reminders of the life I once had with Penelope and the dreams that never came to fruition.
My footsteps echo against the hardwood floor as I walk to the door.
Each step feels like a final goodbye to a chapter of my life that is now coming to a close.
I pause at the threshold, taking one last look around before stepping out into the unknown.
I drive across town in my beat-up Honda, the engine coughing and sputtering as I navigate through the city streets.
The address on the business card leads me to a gleaming high-rise building in the heart of downtown, its glass and steel façade reflecting the vibrant colors of the city.
I park my car in a nearby lot and make my way to the entrance of the building, feeling out of place among the suits and briefcases that hurry past me.
The security guard at the front desk gives me a suspicious glance as I sign in, his eyes lingering on my worn jeans and faded t-shirt.
I take the elevator to the 47th floor, where Morton & Associates is located.
The doors open to reveal a sleek marble reception area, where a woman with perfectly manicured nails and an impeccable suit greets me with a professional smile.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Weber," she says, her voice dripping with sophistication.
"Please take a seat. Mr. Morton will be with you shortly."
I sink into one of the leather chairs, clutching my duffel bag tightly as I wait for what feels like an eternity.
The sounds of typing and muted conversations drift from behind the closed doors, creating an air of anticipation and unease within me. As I wait, executives in expensive suits walk past, casting curious glances my way.
I feel like an outsider in their world of power and privilege.
The polished brass doors of the elevator reflect my image back at me - a man unshaven and tired, still reeling from the shock of Penelope's departure.
The receptionist's voice breaks the silence, "Mr. Weber, Mr. Morton will see you now."
I stand up, my legs feeling unsteady as I follow her to a large office with floor-to-ceiling windows.
James Morton rises from his desk, extending a hand with a warm smile, "Mr. Weber, thank you for coming on such short notice. Please, have a seat."
I settle into the plush leather chair across from his mahogany desk, my duffel bag at my feet like a reminder of my poverty.
Morton opens a thick folder and begins laying out documents one by one.
His eyes scan the pages before he points to various figures and lists.
My own eyes widen as I take in the contents - private islands in the Caribbean, a fleet of mega yachts, penthouses in major cities worldwide, and liquid assets in offshore accounts.
When he slides a metallic blue and gold Citibank card toward me, its platinum W gleaming under the office lights, I reach for it with trembling fingers.
"Mr. Weber," Morton clears his throat, "there's another matter regarding your inheritance."
"Your grandfather left a letter, and it changes everything."
Morton hands me a thick cream-colored envelope, the paper expensive and weighty in my hands.
The wax seal bears an intricate "W" that breaks with a satisfying crack as I open it.
The letter inside is handwritten in elegant script, dated just two weeks before my grandfather's death.
My fingers tremble slightly as I unfold the pages, the rich paper crinkling.
Morton leans back in his leather chair, giving me privacy while remaining present.
The first line stops my breath: "My dearest grandson Shane, I have watched over you from afar all these years."
My eyes scan the elegant script as my grandfather's words spill onto the page.
"I watched you graduate college, though I was not there in person. I have investigated your adoptive parents and found them to be unfit. I hired private investigators to document their mistreatment of you."
Each paragraph reveals a hidden world, one where my life was carefully documented.
My grandfather writes of watching me struggle, of hiring private investigators to document every aspect of my life.
He explains how he tested my character, arranging scenarios where I would face rejection - job applications that never went through, rental applications denied without reason.
Even Penelope's betrayal was part of his plan, a final test to ensure that I wouldn't become spoiled by wealth.
My hands grip the paper tighter as I read on, discovering a life that was both mine and not mine at all.
Morton clears his throat, breaking the silence.
"Mr. Weber, your grandfather's legacy is more than wealth—it's a choice."
I lean forward, the leather chair creaking.
The duffel bag presses against my leg, a reminder of the life I left behind.
Morton pulls out another envelope from his desk drawer, this one black with a silver "W" seal.
He places it on the desk between us, a silent choice waiting to be made.
"Your grandfather left two paths for you," he explains, his voice steady and detached.
"You can take the money now, no strings attached. Or you can choose to participate in a six-month program he designed. It's a chance to learn how to manage the empire while being tested further."
His eyes flicker to the black envelope before returning to mine.
"It's your decision, Mr. Weber."
I stare at the black envelope, my mind racing with possibilities.
"What happens if I choose the program?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
Morton leans forward, his gaze steady. "You'll be immersed in every aspect of the business, under the guidance of your grandfather's most trusted advisors."
