Chapter 2: Flipping the Dice And Invitation

After my playful banter with Julieta, she left as there were still some stuffs pending for her to do since her company Morgano Industry had assigned her work. I am just imagining if by any chance, the reveal comes about my true heritage and how Morgano is a small part of my company what would her reaction be?

Would she be shocked, happy, angry or more? Well, we may never know until my poverty training comes to a stop, speaking of which I wonder how everything is going over in the company.

Well, whatever, I no longer possess the means of reviewing the company, so I shouldn't waste my time thinking about all those trivial matters. For now, I should upgrade my bank balance.

The question arises, on how do I plan to do that? 

My Answer is Real Estate, now I wasn't a fool who wouldn't think about this training from a very young age, so at the tender age of 13 years I started my journey and soon chains of hotels were under the Alias.

[Roberto Danfieldo]

This was the Alias I had found in a novel and decided to use this in my future plans. Now during my young age, I convinced my butler to handle all of the meetings posing as me but now I was an adult of age 20 years.

I took matters into my own hands and currently I was having a video conference with the board of directors as we discussed about our future plans and as our discussion continued, a plan popped up in my mind which may be controversial, but it did qualify for a great opportunity to create money.

"What if we build hotels, but inside we would have no functional security cameras installed discreetly allowing teens who are just stepping in their adult phases enjoy themselves with their boyfriend or girlfriends?" I said in a very subtle tone, and everyone present in the meeting looked shocked.

All of them were weighting the cons and pros.

On one hand this was a great opportunity to generate higher revenue due to naiveness of the teens but on the other, it possessed the danger of criminal activities.

After staying idle for a few minutes, nearly 70% of the board members accepted and I smiled rejoicing at my play. Now if you didn't understand my plan, let me explain.

Though higher income would collect in my pocket granting me opportunities to secretly live a comfortable for the remaining of Poverty Training, but it also possessed risk like the cops arresting me or something else.

But this where my contingency plans come in, since I am using fake information, aliases and even using multiple fake bank accounts tracing me would take at least 17 years approx., But by then, the existence of Roberto Danfieldo would be just a name nothing else.

So, all in one even if I couldn't describe my actions to you, I will just summarize that I wasn't going to be affected in the slightest instead the greedy directors would suffer.

After continuing my speech for a couple minutes, I exited the meeting and closed my mac as soon as I did so, my wife also entered with a very attractive skin revealing dress.

Now I did say that she was just a pawn for me to use but I have to admit she looked drop dead gorgeous with her long flowy jet-black hair and her shining green eyes accompanying it was light makeup with a pink lipstick.

Damn, another reason why I married her. Anyways, what was the occassion?

"How do I look?" She said twirling breaking me out of my deep valid thoughts.

"Drop Dead Gorgeous" I complimented with a sweet smile albeit it was fake. After hearing my compliment, she slightly blushed as she always said that even after spending so much time with me, she still gets flustered whenever I compliment her.

"But what's the occasion?"

She looked at me with wide eyes before exclaiming.

"So So Sorry, I forgot to tell you but today Morgano Industry is hosting a party and along with that the members of Dwindle family are also coming."

I slightly raised my eyebrows at her response, why did my family suddenly decide to host a party along with the Morgano Industry? Something didn't feel right to me as some kind of ulterior motive was hidden underneath, I could literally smell it.

"Oh Wow, babe enjoy" I retorted with a bored expression even though I tried hard to conceal it but thankfully she didn't notice.

"You are also coming."

As the words fell out of her mouth, the earth cracked and swallowed me in. Ok that was not really what happened, this phrase was just used to portray my surprise.

After so many years of ridicule and surviving the hardship of poverty, for the first time in a while I was going to meet my family, the Dwindle Family again. Also, I know that surname is a little bit weird but bear with me.

"I am sick" On instinct I replied but she looked at me with a deadpan as she shook her head silently cursing my awkward introverted shy personality. I know I know the words mean the same thing but again these words express my feelings better.

"Nope, no excuses. Get ready you oaf" She said as she chucked some brand-new clothes to me which I caught not wanting them to fall on the ground just to keep up my act of being poor and appreciating money.

Even though I used to wrap bundle of cash with drugs and smoke in my edgy phase, yep, I wasn't proud of that, maybe that could be the reason for this training.

Now I finally get but that still doesn't mean I was going to support it, nope if it was bad, it was bad no excuses. I sighed as she exited the room waiting outside for me to get ready.

At least she had some manners unlike my in-laws. Speaking of which, were they going to come as well?
