Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

The shrill cry of the alarm clock interfered with his sleep and he straightened on the bed; he cursed and fell back on the California king sized bed.

The sun’s golden rays streamed into his room and he felt like going back to sleep but he couldn’t.

‘Another day, another dollar’ he groaned and jumped out bed.

His head throbbed like he’d been hit with a club or something heavier; this was his aftermath after some wild partying.

Greg Beecroft was the C.E.O of the Beecroft software Empire; he had taken over the company when he was just twenty as he showed so much promise; he had worked so hard to take it to the level where it was now.

Now he was thirty, he had not given up on the software empire; he had bigger and better plans for it, except that his father was starting to get in the way of that.

He turned on the shower and stepped into it. The water was cool to his skin; it quenched the ache he felt in his head; it relaxed and soothe him.

As the water ran down his thick black hair, he took a mental trip to the events at the party.

Before he got dead drunk; he remembered a girl slapping him for something he didn’t do.

Why she was so mad? He would never know, but there had been a mix up obviously; he had sent the note to one of his numerous girlfriends, Trudy and somehow the note had gotten to the crazy faced blonde.

‘Savage’ he murmured and stepped out of the shower.

He was Greg Beecroft and no woman had ever laid hands on him before; no woman had ever disrespected him. He was a god and women swooned over him, they lived to worship him.

He wished he knew a little bit about her, maybe he could teach her a lesson or two; he had been slightly tipsy when that had happened, that was why she was able to go scot free.

As he dried his body with the towel; there was a light knock on his door. He stopped.

He lived alone in a penthouse; far from his father or other members of his family; he hated any form of family interference.

‘It’s me Wendy, open up’ a voice called out to him.

His heart froze at the mention of her name. Out of all the girls he dated, Wendy was the only one that he really liked; she loved the things he loved; she was ruthless and ambitious, not to mention sexy.

She was tall and slender; her breasts were perky and round; her eyes were bright green like emeralds and her hair; a mass of auburn curls.

‘Are you going somewhere’? Wendy sauntered into her boyfriend’s bedroom.

‘Yes. Work. I’ve got an important meeting’ he replied.

‘I came here with your father’ she replied with a frown.

‘My father? Are you on his side now’? Greg scoffed. Ever since his mother passed, he had fallen out with his dad; they hardly got along except when it came to business.

‘When will you ever grow up Greg’? Wendy’s green eyes glowed angrily.

‘I don’t understand you? He slipped on a shirt and quickly worked on his buttons.

‘Look’ she took a deep breath and showed him some pictures; they had gone viral on the internet.

“The Sexy Billionaire goes wild again” said the caption along some photos of him kissing the girls from the other night.

‘Where did you get this’? Greg snatched the phone from her, this would be the third time something like this was happening and it wasn’t good for his image as future CEO.

‘The internet of course! why are you so irresponsible, you’re thirty Greg not sixteen. You are the C.E.O of Beecroft, don’t you think your wild habits are getting in the way of that’? Wendy was exasperated.

‘You don’t have to call me names, I know I cheated on you again and I am sorry. I know you are hurt that I cheated, but it just happened, it was a mistake’ he stuttered.

Greg and Wendy had begun their relationship five years ago after they were introduced by their parents at a dinner event.

‘I can’t believe this, you’re such a liar. I don’t have anything to say to you Greg, but I think your father does’ Wendy hissed angrily and stormed out of his room.

‘Phew! What now’? He rolled his eyes and moved out to meet with his father.

‘Morning dad’ he murmured a greeting.

‘Sit’ the older man ordered. He was an older version of Greg, but still very handsome for his age.

‘I handed over the company to you in good faith. I thought you were hardworking and smart and against the advice of so many, I resigned and then you took over’ the man begun.

Greg moved to the fridge and fetched a bottle of water he fidgeted abit .

‘When you started sleeping around; partying and going crazy, I ignored it. I felt you were young and would come out of it someday; but as the years rolled by, you have only gotten worse. Tell me, what do you think our partners and competitors would think when they see that picture of you? This is the third time this crap is happening Greg and I am really sick of it’ his voice rose as he spoke angrily.

‘So I made a mistake and some crazy person took a photo of me, what do you want me to do about it? Partying does not make me less efficient at work; you’re all making a big deal out of this’ Greg sipped his water coolly. He was not in the mood for any argument.

‘There’s only one way that I can give up the hold I have on Beecroft Softwares; I can only will everything to you when I know that you are responsible’ he rose to his feet.

‘And what’s that supposed to mean’? Greg saw the dangerous glint in his father’s eyes; he didn’t like the tone of his voice.

‘Get married to Wendy before your thirty first birthday else I’ll take Beecroft away from you’ the older man said with finality.
