I was an orphan, raised in foster care.
My girlfriend left me for a richer guy.
I had nothing, owned nothing.
But my life changed when I found out my grandfather was a multibillionaire.
I inherited his entire estate, becoming one of the youngest billionaires in the world.
Everyone thought I was a failure, but I didn't give up and kept pushing forward.
Now, those who criticized me will bow at my feet.
I won't let anyone bring me down again.
I'll use my wealth and power to make them pay for their past actions.
My story is one of hard work and perseverance, proving that anyone can turn their life around.
I'm Shane Weber, and this is my story.
"Shane! Come here, boy!"
Helen called from the kitchen, her voice echoing throughout the small house we rented.
It was a typical evening: me doing my homework while she cooked dinner.
We were the picture of happiness, despite being poor and having no government support.
"I'm coming, Mom," I replied as I quickly finished writing the last essay question in my notebook.
It was my first year in high school, and I was determined to pass with flying colors.
"Well done, Shane," she said with a smile as she took the notebook from me and began flipping through the pages.
She was not my biological mother; she was one of the foster care mothers.
But she was different from the others.
I set my textbooks aside and walked into our cramped kitchen, where Helen stood over a pot of boiling pasta.
The familiar scent of tomato sauce filled the air as steam fanned up, fogging the small window above the sink.
She stirred the sauce with a wooden spoon, her other hand gripping the counter for support - her arthritis acting up again.
Without waiting for her answer, I grabbed plates from the cabinet and began setting the wobbly kitchen table.
The vinyl tablecloth had a burn mark from last month's candle incident.
Helen tried to wave me away, insisting she could manage, but I took the heavy pot from her hands anyway.
As I poured the sauce over the pasta, I realized that despite everything, this was where I truly belonged.
I sit at my grandfather's mahogany desk, sorting through the day's mail.
The afternoon sunlight casts a warm glow through the large windows, illuminating the dust motes that dance in the air.
I've grown accustomed to this room over the past few months, but it still feels surreal.
My grandfather's study, once a symbol of his power and success, is now mine.
As I sift through the stack of envelopes, one catches my eye.
It's from Stanford University, and I can't help but wonder what they want.
I carefully open the envelope and pull out the letter inside.
It's an offer for a scholarship to their business program.
A smile tugs at my lips as I read through it.
The irony isn't lost on me - they're offering me money to attend their prestigious program when I now have more wealth than their entire endowment fund.
But this is not just any scholarship; it's for the same program that Penelope's new boyfriend attends.
I remember applying to Stanford months ago, before I knew anything about my inheritance.
At that time, I desperately needed financial aid to pursue my dreams. Helen would have been so proud if she were still alive to see me get accepted into Stanford.
But now, things have changed drastically.
I no longer need a scholarship to fund my education.
However, as I hold the letter in my hands, an idea begins to form in my mind.
This could be useful in more ways than one.
I lean back in my grandfather's leather chair, turning the letter over in my hands.
Through the large window, I watch the gardeners trimming the hedges and tending to the immaculately manicured lawn.
It's a far cry from my life just a few months ago, when I was struggling to make ends meet.
The Stanford letterhead stares back at me, a symbol of prestige and exclusivity.
I recall Penelope bragging about her new boyfriend's connections to Stanford.
This could be my ticket into their world.
With calculated movements, I reach for the Mont Blanc pen that rests on the desk, another inheritance from my grandfather.
I begin filling out the acceptance forms, each stroke of the pen deliberate and precise.
My hand moves steadily across the page, as if guided by fate itself.
The words flow effortlessly, a plan unfolding before me like a puzzle.
I pause briefly at the section regarding housing options.
With a steady hand, I select on-campus accommodation.
I lean back in the chair, watching as Thomas, the butler, enters the room.
He approaches my desk, collecting the outgoing mail.
The stack of envelopes is neatly arranged, with the Stanford acceptance forms on top.
The crisp edges of the paper catch the afternoon light, casting a shadow on the polished wood surface.
My fingers absently trace the intricate wood grain of the desk, feeling the grooves and ridges that have been worn smooth over years of use.
This desk has witnessed countless business deals, each one meticulously planned and executed by my grandfather.
Now, it serves as my own workspace, a constant reminder of the legacy I've inherited.
As Thomas leaves with the mail, I turn my attention to the window once more.
The sky outside is beginning to darken, with clouds gathering on the horizon.
A storm is brewing, much like the turmoil within me. The months ahead will be challenging, filled with uncertainty and difficult choices.
But for now, I remain seated in this grand study, surrounded by opulence and power.
The weight of my grandfather's legacy rests heavily on my shoulders as I contemplate my next move.
"Is there anything else you require, sir?" asks Thomas from the doorway.
I turn to face him briefly before shaking my head.
"No, thank you," I reply curtly before returning my focus to the task at hand.
Thomas nods discreetly and exits the room once more, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
I shift in my chair and reach for my laptop, opening it on the desk before me.
The screen flickers to life as I navigate to Stanford's student directory website.
"You're really going through with this, aren't you?" Helen's voice echoes in my mind, a memory from our last conversation.
I pause, fingers hovering over the keyboard, and whisper to the empty room, "I have to, Helen. It's the only way to find out what Penelope's really up to."
The silence stretches before me, heavy with unspoken words and unresolved questions.
