I am Brian Munson, Jr.
My life has been hard, ever since I was a kid.
I was born out of wedlock to a poor couple.
My mom was the housemaid of my grandparents, the Munsons.
They are filthy rich and part of the top billionaire families in the world.
When I was born, they were told about my birth and they did nothing but kept it a secret from the rest of the family.
I have a twin sister named Sarah who also looks exactly like me.
Both our parents died when we were little, so we were left in the streets with no one to care for us.
We were lucky to have been picked up by a charity organization which took us in and fed us.
We stayed there until we were ten years old.
When my grandfather found out about our existence, he immediately sent his assistant to pick us up and bring us back to our home, the Munson family home.
But here’s the thing: we were not treated as part of the family.
We were instead treated as servants or as if we were hired help.
My sister and I were given different chores every single day, from cleaning to washing dishes and even taking out the trash.
We were not allowed to sit on the living room couch or sleep in a real bed until I was fourteen years old.
I walk through the dimly lit hallway, my hands shaking with anger and my heart beating so fast it might burst out of my chest.
My eyes are fixed on the mahogany door at the end of the hall, a door I have never dared to cross without an invitation.
The door is slightly ajar, and I can see the silhouette of my grandfather hunched over his desk, his reading glasses perched on the end of his nose.
The soft glow of the desk lamp casts a golden light on his wrinkled face, making him look even older than his sixty years.
I stop in front of the door and hesitate for a moment, wondering if I should knock or just barge in.
But then I remember why I am here and how angry I am, so I raise my hand and knock firmly three times on the door.
The sound echoes through the hallway, and my grandfather looks up from his work.
His steel-gray eyes narrow as he sees me standing there, and he frowns.
"Who is it?" he asks in his deep, commanding voice.
"It’s me," I reply, trying to keep my voice steady.
"Brian."
"What do you want?" he asks impatiently. "I need to talk to you," I say, pushing the door open wider and stepping inside.
My grandfather sighs and sets down his fountain pen on top of the stack of papers in front of him.
The metal tip clicks against the wooden desk, and I flinch at the sound.
He leans back in his chair and looks at me with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.
"What is it that you want to talk about?" he asks gruffly.
I plant my feet shoulder-width apart and clench my fists at my sides.
I force myself to meet his gaze, even though it makes me feel uncomfortable.
"Why did you make us sleep on the floor?" I demand, my voice cracking with emotion.
"Your own grandchildren!"
My grandfather raises an eyebrow at my outburst, but he says nothing.
He leans forward, resting his elbows on the desk.
"Because I needed to see if you had the strength to survive in this world," he says, his voice cold and measured.
I shake my head, disbelief mingling with anger. "Strength? Or was it just cruelty?"
I clench my fists tighter, my nails digging into my palms.
My grandfather stands up from his chair, his movements slow and deliberate.
He walks to the window and stands there with his hands clasped behind his back, looking out at the dark night.
"I watched you grow up from afar," he says, his voice low and gravelly.
"I saw how strong you were, even when you were just a child."
He turns to face me, his eyes glinting in the dim light.
"I knew that you had the potential to be great, but I also knew that you needed to be tested."
I feel my anger rising again, but I force myself to stay calm.
I want to understand what my grandfather is trying to say.
"Why did you test us?"
I ask, my voice shaking slightly.
He walks back to his desk and pulls open a drawer.
He takes out an old photograph and places it on the desk between us. I step closer and look down at the picture.
It’s an old black-and-white photo of a young woman standing in a garden.
She’s smiling and holding a bouquet of flowers.
I recognize her immediately as my mother.
"Your mother was a beautiful woman," my grandfather says, his voice cracking slightly.
"I loved her dearly."
He pauses for a moment, collecting himself before continuing.
"When she died, I was devastated. But when I found out about you and Sarah, I knew that I had to do something. I couldn’t let you grow up on the streets like she did."
I look up at him, searching for answers in his eyes.
But all I see is sadness and regret.
"Why did you keep us a secret?" "Because I was afraid," he admits, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Afraid of what people would think. Afraid that they would judge me for having children out of wedlock."
He pauses again, taking a deep breath before continuing.
"But most of all, I was afraid that you would hate me for keeping your mother’s secret."
I don’t know what to say or how to feel.
Part of me wants to scream at him for being so cruel and heartless, but another part of me feels sorry for him because he seems broken and vulnerable. He gestures towards the empty chair across from him.
"Sit down," he says softly.
I hesitate for a moment before sitting down in the chair across from him.
"Do you know why I called you here tonight?" he asks, his voice softer now.
I shake my head, unsure of what to expect.
"I want to make things right," he says, looking me straight in the eyes.
He reaches into his desk drawer and pulls out a thick manila envelope.
His hands are shaking slightly as he slides it across the polished surface of the desk towards me.
"This contains documents naming you as my primary heir," he says, his voice steady.
"I have been preparing this for years, but I wanted to wait until you were old enough to understand the significance of it all."
I stare at the envelope, my mind racing with questions and doubts.
"Why me?" is all I can manage to ask.
My grandfather smiles, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Because you are my grandson, and because you deserve it," he says simply.
I open the envelope and pull out the stack of papers inside.
They appear to be legal documents, filled with terms and conditions that make my head spin.
I look up at my grandfather, confused and overwhelmed. "This is too much," I say, feeling like I am drowning in a sea of paperwork.
My grandfather chuckles softly and leans forward in his chair.
"I know it’s a lot to take in," he says gently.
"But trust me, this is just the beginning. You will inherit everything I own when I pass away, including my business empire and all of its assets."
I feel like I am dreaming as I flip through the pages of the documents.
The numbers are astronomical, and the properties listed are extensive and impressive.
It’s hard to wrap my head around it all.
I look up at my grandfather again, searching for answers in his eyes.
"Why now?"
I ask him quietly.
He sighs softly and leans back in his chair once more.
"I know that you have been struggling lately," he says gently.
"I know about Helen leaving you for that rich businessman. And I know how your relatives have been treating you like dirt just because you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth."
I feel a lump form in my throat as I listen to him speak.
No one has ever shown me such kindness or understanding before. My grandfather continues speaking, his voice filled with compassion and regret. "I want you to know that I am sorry for not being there for you sooner," he says softly.
"But now that I am here, I want to make things right. This inheritance is not just about money or power; it’s about giving you the life you deserve."
I don’t know what to say or how to react.
Part of me wants to scream with joy while another part of me wants to cry tears of relief.
I look at him, my voice barely a whisper. "What about Sarah? What does she get?"
My grandfather nods, as if expecting the question. "Sarah will have her share too, but she chose a different path—one that doesn't involve the family business."
I feel a mix of relief and confusion. "So, she knows about this?"
He nods again, just as I hear the familiar sound of heels clicking against the marble floor outside his office.
The door creaks open, and there stands Sarah in her designer suit, her hair perfectly styled and a warm smile on her face.
It’s been months since we last spoke, not since our fight over Helen.
I stare at her in surprise, and she meets my gaze with a knowing look.
Grandfather nods at her entrance, as if he had expected her to arrive at this exact moment.
And then it hits me—this was all planned.
They knew I would come here tonight, and they prepared everything in advance.
Sarah crosses the room and places a manicured hand on my shoulder.
"I knew you’d handle this well," she says softly.
I look at her, my emotions swirling. "You knew about all of this?"
Sarah nods, her eyes filled with understanding. "Grandfather and I have been working on this for a while; we wanted to make sure you were ready."
My grandfather interjects, his voice firm yet gentle. "We both believe in you, Brian. It's time for you to step into your future."
I lean back in the leather chair, my eyes scanning the pages of the inheritance papers spread out on the polished desk before me.
Sarah and Grandfather exchange a knowing look, as if they can sense the weight of realization settling upon me.
My fingers absently trace over the company letterhead emblazoned at the top of each document - Munson Global Industries.
Soon, it would all be mine.
The responsibility of managing a billion-dollar empire weighed heavily on my shoulders, but I was determined to prove myself worthy of this unexpected inheritance.
Sarah clears her throat, breaking the silence that has settled over the room.
She leans forward, her slender fingers pointing to various sections of the documents as she begins to explain the intricacies of the transition process.
"The transfer of ownership will occur in stages," she explains, her voice steady and confident.
"The first phase will begin immediately, with you taking on a more active role within the company. You will work closely with Grandfather to learn the ins and outs of our operations."
I nod attentively, my mind racing with questions and doubts.
But Sarah continues, her words providing clarity amidst the chaos.
"The second phase will commence six months from now, at which point you will officially assume control of Munson Global Industries. Grandfather will remain involved as an advisor, but ultimately, the decisions will rest in your hands." I glance at Grandfather, who is watching me intently with a mixture of pride and anticipation in his eyes.
It's clear that he believes in me, despite our tumultuous past.
I turn my attention back to Sarah, who is now pointing to a specific clause in the documents.
"This section outlines your responsibilities as CEO," she explains.
"You will be required to make key decisions regarding investments, partnerships, and overall strategy for the company's growth."
I feel a surge of adrenaline mixed with trepidation as I absorb her words.
The weight of this new role settles heavily upon me.
Suddenly, Grandfather slides a gold fountain pen across his desk towards me.
I hesitate for a moment, my heart pounding in my chest.
Memories of all those nights I went hungry because he refused to help flood my mind.
But revenge can wait; this is about claiming what is rightfully mine. With a deep breath, I grip the pen firmly in my hand and begin to sign my name on every marked line.
With each stroke of the pen, I feel a sense of power and determination wash over me.
Sarah watches me, her eyes softening as she speaks.
"Brian, I know this is overwhelming, but remember, you're not alone in this," she says reassuringly.
Grandfather nods in agreement, his voice steady as he adds, "We're here to support you every step of the way; this family is finally coming together."
I hand the signed papers back to Sarah, my hand steady despite the turmoil brewing inside me.
She takes them with a professional nod, her fingers betraying a slight tremor - this changes everything for both of us.
Grandfather rises from behind his desk, retrieves an old brass key from his suit pocket, and extends it towards me.
"The key to the executive suite," he explains, his eyes gleaming with a mix of nostalgia and pride.
"This was once your father's office. Now, it will be yours."
Sarah begins organizing the papers into a leather portfolio while Grandfather guides me to the window overlooking the sprawling campus of Munson Industries.
Standing between them, I grip the key tightly in my fist, already plotting how I'll use this newfound power to settle old scores.
Sarah glances at me, her voice barely above a whisper. "Just remember, Brian, power is a tool, not a weapon."
Grandfather nods, his gaze fixed on the horizon. "Use it wisely, and you'll build a legacy far greater than any vendetta."
I take a deep breath, feeling the weight of their words. "I understand," I reply, determination hardening my resolve.
I lean forward in my leather chair, scanning the detailed asset list spread out on the polished mahogany desk before me.
Grandfather, seated across from me, reaches into his desk drawer and retrieves a sleek black folder adorned with the Munson crest.
He opens it meticulously, revealing a stack of neatly arranged documents.
"The major holdings," he begins, his voice steady and authoritative.
"Three private islands in the Caribbean, two mega yachts docked in Monaco, penthouses in New York and London, and a fleet of luxury cars."
I nod intently, absorbing the magnitude of the wealth laid out before me.
"And what about liquid assets?"
I ask, my curiosity piqued.
Grandfather slides a single card across the desk towards me - a black and gold Citibank card adorned with the platinum M logo.
"This card grants you access to all cash reserves. As of today, you control $4.2 billion in liquid assets."
My hands tremble slightly as I reach for the card, memories flooding back to the days when I couldn't afford basic groceries.
Sarah watches me closely, her voice gentle yet firm. "Remember, Brian, this isn't just about money—it's about responsibility."
Grandfather leans back in his chair, his gaze unwavering. "And how you choose to wield that responsibility will define who you truly are."
I nod slowly, the weight of their words sinking in. "I won't let you down," I promise, feeling the enormity of the task ahead.
