Ambrose POV
My father had finished speaking to me and had exited the room; the assistant approached me and congratulated me on becoming the owner of the most well-known corporation.
I am the CEO of that corporation, and all the decisions will be mine.
"I am really glad for you, Ambrose, you are now the owner of the crystal company," Jeremiah said as he approached me.
"Yes, Jeremiah, I am the owner of the most well-known company that belongs to my father, but I am unhappy because I have no interest in it."
"Ambrose, you can't do anything about it. You need to try your best even if you are not interested. Maybe this is your destiny."
"Let's see Jeremiah, I will try to make this company more successful, so that I can prove myself."
"Yes you will Ambrose, now let's leave because we need to also get ready for the party."
"I am not going to the party."I said.
"Why??, What happened??, It's your party and you should attend it."
"I am not in the mood, Jeremiah, that is the reason why I don't wanna attend this party, it's for my dad not for me."
"It's for you, your dad has kept it for you Ambrose, he just announced it in front of everyone." he tried to explain to me.
"Yes Jeremiah, sometimes things don't happen according to your expectations when the reality is totally different. I live in the real world and not in the world full of fantasies, anyways let's leave now because I am feeling suffocated here."
"Okay fine Ambrose, then we should leave."
We headed towards the car, Jeremiah opened the door for me and when I was supposed to take a seat I was stopped by my dad's assistant.
"Where are you going Prince??." He questioned me.
"I am going back to my mansion, any problem."I said in a stern voice.
"Let me remind you that there is a party tonight and you should stay here instead of heading back to your mansion". My dad's assistant said.
"I am not attending the party, that is the reason why I am headed back to my mansion."
"Okay fine, you can leave but first talk to your dad because I am not gonna let you go until you talk to the king." He said.
"Fine then", I headed towards my dad's room, Jeremiah followed me but he was stopped by my dad's assistant.
"You are not going anywhere, you are staying back here," he stopped him.
I turned behind and looked towards Jeremiah,
"Wait for me, I will be right back".
"Okay."Jeremiah said in a soft voice and waited back for me.
I headed towards my dad's room. His guard opened the door for me.
My dad was standing near the window, his back faced towards me while his hands were in his pocket.
I entered inside, "you wanted to talk to me??," I asked him.
"Where were you going, Ambrose??"He asked me.
"I am going back to my mansion."
"Aren't you aware that there is a party tonight??," He told me, his back still facing towards me.
"Yes I am aware that there is a party tonight but I don't wanna attend it".
"Why so??." He asked me.
"I am not in the mood to attend it.
"When I told you that this party is especially for you, the company is now in your name. When the guests arrive what will I tell them??." He said.
"Ambrose, you have no idea the people who are coming to the party are just not anybody. They are all business related people. You can get business from them. Now as I am handing over the business to you so it is very important that you know these people personally. To keep relationships in future you will have to attend these types of parties. These parties are just not for enjoyment but this will help you with your business. Just attend it for sometime and then you can leave. The business which we are in needs contact. There is a lot which you have to learn, don't be overconfident. It was not easy for me to build up this business. So please don't ruin it with this type of mentality. Even though you were not interested in the business but now you have taken over it so you have no option. It's a must that you have to attend. If you really want the business to grow. You think by sitting in the office or in the mansion and not socialising with people you will be able to get business??."
"Okay fine I will do as you say, I am leaving for my mansion, I will be here in time for the party. As I have to get ready for the party," I said.
Jeremiah was waiting for me outside near the car, I told him to drive towards the mansion. I reached there and headed towards my room.
I went to the washroom and
I took a warm shower, wrapped my towel around my waist.
I then headed towards my wardrobe, I took a grey suit and grey trousers.
I wore I white shirt and grey tie, I got ready for the party, I got out of my mansion and headed towards the party venue.
As I reached the hall, I saw the hall was decorated with lighting and white flowers, there was a bar and some of the guests had already arrived.
Jeremiah then headed towards me, "your dad is gonna arrive shortly."
I looked at the maids and workers around who were busy serving the guest's.
Before going towards the guests my dad's guard headed towards me with a mask in his hands.
"You need to wear this." He said.
It was a grey mask, I looked towards my dad's guard.
"This mask but why should I wear it??," I questioned him.
"Just wear it prince when your dad arrives he will explain everything to you.", he said as he handed me the mask.
I took the mask from his hand and I wore it.
I headed towards some guests and asked them if they were enjoying the party.
"I hope you are enjoying the party," I told one of the guests.
"Yes I am prince, the party is going on really good, where is your dad??," He asked me.
"He will be here in sometime, he just got some important work."
"Congrats prince, you are now the CEO of your dad's company." The guest congratulated me.
I smiled after thanking them and then headed towards the other guests but greeting them and asking them the same question.
After a few minutes the hall was filled with guests. Many guests had arrived and so my dad.
My dad then stood on the stage with a mike .
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like your attention here."
As he said this everyone stopped talking among themselves and they looked towards my dad.
"I want to make an announcement that my son, Ambrose, will be the CEO of this company from now on. I would like you all to wish him good luck and give him your blessings and support.,"
They all then clapped for me.
Everyone there greeted me and congratulated me for becoming the new CEO in my dad's company.
My dad then raised a toast in my name.
All were cheering for me.
My dad then came and stood next to me.
"Why did you want me to wear this mask??," I asked him.
"I don't want anyone to know how you look, Ambrose, because I still want to keep your Identity hidden from everyone," he said in a soft voice while he took a sip from his glass.
"In the outside world people know you as the devil prince, it could be dangerous for you if they knew what your true face is and that would not be good for the business too." He added.
"I am proud of myself too, dad, because I love when people fear me, I love to see the fear in their eyes that they have for me, I get happiness in that dad."
"These are the symptoms of a true Mafia, and you are doing great. So I am waiting for that day to arrive when you will become the king just like me, everyone will bow down before you and they will fear you more, you can't imagine how happy you will be."he said with a smile.
