Chapter 2 Grab the opportunity when You have one
[Tony's POV] Ten years later
A sweet scent lingered in the air as I turned and twisted in my soft bed and paused immediately. One of my hands had grabbed onto something very soft and squishy and it certainly was stressed relief to squish it more.
A moan came to my ears and I stopped doing what I was enjoying a while ago.
But what the hell was that?
I slowly opened my eyes and found a woman was lying naked just beside me and my hand had mistakenly found a really intersting part of her.
Oh!
The sheet that was covering us had fallen to her stomach and making her very profound assets exposed in the sight. Not a bad thing to start a day after watching it...
I took my hand away and sat on the bed while she was still asleep, snoring softly.
My eyes went to the clock and I groaned. I had a meeting in a few hours. Damn!
But before that I needed to throw her out of my penthouse.
I recalled I had a dinner date with her yesterday. I met her a week before the production house was recruiting the actors and the actresses and she was one of the leading actresses.
I even forgot about her until two days ago she came to me in a party and I wasn't into rejecting her. I'm a man after all. 'If opportunity comes your way, you gotta grab it' that is my motto.
I looked at her sleeping body and nudged her as she groaned.
"Fiona... Wake up. I need to go to office." I said but she didn't wake up instead she covered herself with the sheet and turned around.
I sighed. "Can you just get off my bed now?"
"But it is still morning..." She mumbled in her sleepy, hoarse voice.
"And I need to workout."
"Okay... Do that..." She said and started to snore again.
I exhaled a breath and this time I said with a cold tone. "Just get out of here already, will you? I have so many work to do and I can't entertain you now."
At this she woke up and looked at me with wide eyes. "But my name is not Fiona."
"Oh!" I nodded, "Then are you Katherin?"
And the next her face turned red with anger as she glared at me. "I am Vanessa! The famous actress of the movie, 'Your Heart'!"
"Ah! Sorry. I tend to forget names," I said smiling and added, "Now, could you please get out of my penthouse? I am busy."
She gritted her teeth as if contemplating if she should slap me or not but she knew doing that would hinder her career and said while hopping out of the bed, "You are a jerk!"
"And you slept with that jerk, honey." I said as I stood up, the sheet that covered my bottom part fell and exposed her my length as her face reddened. I added with a smirk, "If you don't mind me reminding you, you were enjoying the ride and were clearly moaning this jerk's name loudly."
"You are the biggest jerk I have ever seen, Tony Wilson!" And she stomped out of the room taking her clothes and things with her, not caring her smudged make up which made her seen like a clown.
I shrugged and mumbled. "Your fault. I had never said I was the nice guy."
As she went out, I got my boxers and wore it while my bodyguard cum my assistant came in. Tyler.
He said, "This was the 36th woman who went away..."
"You don't have to remind me the numbers. I don't really care..." I said as I went to the bathroom.
"Well, you should. Senior Wilson has said to find a suiter for yourself, you know?" He said.
I turned around and said, "Don't take dad's orders too seriously. You know marriage is not my thing."
"But you have to since you need an heir." He said. "Or your cousins will snatch all of these you have made."
I scoffed. "To snatch away everything from me, they need to born another hundred times."
"What if they join together to take everything you own?" He asked, raising a brow and I got a hint he had gotten something.
My dad had three brothers and a sister and all of their sons and daughters wanted to take everything my dad had built especially the profit which never belonged to them. Not to mention, because our grand father had given 60% of the property share to my dad, they were furious.
Well, it couldn't be helped since both of my parents were pretty good at handling businesses. They had more potential than them which was why he had to give my dad that much. Others were still stumbling while I made the companies more profit. I have expanded the companies and now it was one of leading companies in the whole world. I had even invested on a production house which made a huge profit and all those shares had grown under my watch made the whole Wilson family pretty jealous.
But if Tyler was implying them joining together to fight against me that means, he had gotten some clues.
"They have?" I asked.
"Well, there are some theories and actions which I have been monitoring for a few months now..." He hung his words in the air and it kind of pissed me off. He would always do that.
"Oh! C'mon! Just tell me already!" I said.
"After your breakfast." He said and left as I groaned. Breakfast was after I do my workout and shower. It was still too early and I was dying to know what did he get.
As I sat before the dining table, the cook served the food and Tyler stood beside me with a file. His brown hair combed back and he had been wearing the same black suit and trousers for the last eight years.
My eyes sparkled as he said, "These are the movements that are recorded of your cousins and your uncles."
He placed the file and spread the documents on the table as I ate but my eyes were on them. Tyler was always careful thus he had always made sure to keep an eye on everyone who might trouble me.
He said, "Your elder cousin sister is going to be engaged with the Thompson's elder son."
"The T Enterprise?" I asked as he nodded. I smiled and was pretty impressed as Thompsons were our rivals after my friend Mathew. Well, one of my best buddies, Mathew and I were already in a joint business and he wasn't into any rivalry with me at least. But The Thompsons had notorious ways to make their competitors suffer. Not bad if my younger uncle was going to be in an alliance with them.
"Hmm... But why did you say they are joining together against me?" I asked.
"The Thompson's only daughter is going to marry your cousin brother from your elder uncle, next month." He informed and I coughed.
"What?!" I asked. "Really?"
He nodded. "I am assuming they have tied up already since the marriage is next month."
I was surprised. Well, I should have been scared or terrified even but I wasn't as I grinned.
At that, Tyler seemed to be a bit irritated as he asked, "Why are you grinning like you are happy?"
"Because at least my family is trying hard to get there where I am now. I should be happy, you know?" I said and sipped on my juice. "Especially after all these years, I stopped helping them."
My father used to help them no matter how many times they had stabbed his back. For my dad, family is closer than any one else but not for me. I knew they were like this so when the company became mine, I stopped funding their useless theories of making profit and also stopped every help they were getting for free. 'You have to give something to me if you want to gain something from me' that is the biggest motto I believe. Of course, there were many mottos but I want profit if I have to invest even a single cent.
"Are you serious?!" Tyler asked, his voice coated with anger.
He was never the type of a man who would lose his composed self even when the situation was critical. He would always plan ahead something and execute which was why I hired him as my right hand man. Of course, he was my bodyguard as well but more than that he was intelligent and his assumptions and strategies were always right. But he was loosing his patience which means the situation was indeed dire.
Well, I knew it was. Because if the 40% of the company tied up with The Thompsons, they would become the top five ruling companies and also they had a good market value which meant it would be harder for me or any other companies to reach there. And I heard they were planning on a new product recently to take the market of all the car companies.
Of course, I didn't want that. My cars were leading right now and I had plans to keep it that way but I needed to plan my next product.
I smiled as now I have finished my breakfast and was wiping my mouth. "It doesn't matter if they tied up or not, Tyler. Even if they tied up, the market is already mine to rule and they know it."
I looked at him and said, "I am actually enjoying this since now is the time I make my move."
"What move?" He asked, "Well, I have some ideas on what would be the best move here from now on..."
"Like?"
"Like you can marry the daughter of Grandson's. They maybe are a small company but their product sells well. They even have a good value in their estate business and it is rising. With your help, it wouldn't be much of a problem to raise your company to top five." He suggested, "Also, Mr Grandson has only one daughter and no son so you get everything...including all the properties."
I laughed. Tyler suddenly was good at foreshadowing but I wasn't really fond of making an alliance by marriage. "You know, I am not into marriages..." I said.
"Just marry her already!" He exclaimed which made me laugh more. Lately, my dad and mom was eating Tyler's mind a little too much.
"I will only marry someone who won't ever give into my charm." I joked as he glared at me.
"You are certainly very confident of your charming self..."
"Of course, I am." I said as I raised my chin, "You know if I say the word, even the thompsons' daughter might call off her wedding..." I winked.
Tyler's eyes narrowed to the slit as he eyed me and said, "Then just marry already! Your parents and I are very worried in case you don't know."
"No." I rejected and said, "Just get an appointment with that Hawaiian company... What was his name again? The owner of MNS?" I asked.
"Mr Hudson?" He asked.
"Yes, that one." I stood up and went to take my laptop as I said, "I heard he is preparing for a mining project. I suppose it is time to expand my hands more."
