Shane Weber has led a hard broken life, a poor orphan, and his girlfriend is leaving him for a more richer prospect. But his fortune is about to change dramatically. Shane inherited immense wealth from his grandfather, shocking everyone. He was the heir to the only multi-googolaire family in the world.

How will he use his new-found wealth to shape those around him, as he reclaims his life?. With a new-found sense of responsibility, Shane will get revenge on those who mistreated him? Will he succeed?
Shane Weber
He is a previously impoverished orphan who took on a custodian job to survive. He is resilient, jaded, and determined. Shane faced immense judgment and criticism from others due to his circumstances. His life changed when he inherited a vast fortune from his wealthy grandfather. Despite the challenges, he remained steadfast in his ambitions. His past relationship with Samantha ended when she left for someone more affluent. Now, Shane has the means to exact revenge on those who wronged him.
Grandfather (Unnamed)
He is Shane's wealthy grandfather who passed away leaving him a vast inheritance. He is benevolent, wise, and supportive. The grandfather secretly maintained a food bank in Shane's name despite outwardly appearing harsh towards him. His will shocks Shane by making him the sole beneficiary of his vast estate. This unexpected gesture changes Shane's life forever, granting him the resources to achieve his goals.
Mrs. Reed
She is a wealthy socialite who frequently belittled Shane as part of her circle's snobbery. She is condescending, materialistic, and complacent. Mrs. Reed's attitude towards Shane was rooted in his perceived social status due to his poverty background. Her dismissive behavior toward him fueled Shane's resentment and desire for revenge once he gained financial power. Her husband’s easy acceptance into Shane’s social circle after knowing him as a custodian highlights her shallow connections.
I was an orphan and had been extremely poor.
My girlfriend left me for a richer guy, saying I would never be able to give her a good life.
I took on a job as a custodian to make ends meet, but my life changed forever when my grandfather, whom I had never known, left me with an inheritance of billions of dollars.
The news of his death spread like wildfire.
It was only two days since the death of Mr. Christopher Weber, the richest man in the world, reached our small town.
It wasn't until then that I learned that he was, in fact, my grandfather.
The whole town was talking about how his inheritance would be split among his children and grandchildren.
Little did they know that he had another grandson who was still alive and living amongst them.
I had just finished sweeping the floor when Samantha came to me in tears.
She hugged me tightly and then pushed me away, looking into my eyes.
"I'm sorry, Shane. I really am," she said, her voice cracking.
"What's wrong?"
I asked her.
"You know I really love you, don't you?"
She nodded her head.
"But I need a man who can take good care of me. I'm not saying you can't, but I really don't see a future for us."
I was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"I'm leaving for New York," she continued.
I grip the broom handle tighter, watching as Samantha's designer heels click against the polished floor.
She walks away, her slender figure disappearing around the corner.
The hallway feels longer and emptier than usual.
My movements become mechanical as I continue sweeping, pushing the bristles across the marble in slow, deliberate strokes.
A crumpled tissue falls from her purse, but she doesn't notice.
I sweep it into my dustpan, along with the dirt and debris from another day's work.
The lawyer's letter weighs heavy in my back pocket, still unopened.
After my shift ends, I sit alone in the employee break room.
The fluorescent lights flicker above, casting an artificial glow over the space.
I'm still in my gray custodian uniform, the fabric worn and faded from countless washes.
My hands tremble slightly as I pull the letter from my pocket.
The seal is unbroken, but I can feel the weight of its contents.
With a deep breath, I break the seal and pull out the papers inside.
There are multiple pages of legal documents, filled with terms and conditions that I barely understand.
But one figure catches my eye: $157 billion, along with controlling interest in Weber Global Industries.
The amount staggers me.
I read on, my eyes scanning the pages for any mention of what this means for me.
And then I see it: a handwritten note tucked behind the formal papers.
It's from my grandfather, Christopher Weber himself. "You were always meant for more than this, Shane," it reads.
"I know you've had a hard life, but I want you to know that you deserve better. You deserve everything."
I fold the papers carefully and place them back in the envelope.
For a moment, I just sit there, trying to process everything that has happened.
And then I stand up and walk over to the time clock.
I punch out for the last time, leaving my old life behind.
