He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was the only heir of a global chain of hotels. His father, the ultimate boss of the hotel industry was renowned for the posh hotels all over the world. There were hardly any countries on this planet where their hotels didn't existed.
"The Victors" was the famous chain of hotels which was also their family name or surname.
Although being rich and famous, Augustine at the age of 35 couldn't spare time for his wife Martha and their only son. He used to meet them once in a week, on Saturdays. He traveled the world to check his hotels throughout the year.
James missed his father but his mom was his pillar of support. He loved his parents, but they didn't love each other. James had a very rough childhood because of his parent's quarrels every time. He had grown sensitive.
It was Saturday. James was 17 then. He was back from school when he saw his dad's Ferrari in the parking. He knew his dad was home.
While going upstairs, he could hear his mother's yells. They were having the regular Saturday morning fights. He ran as usual to look what was happening between them.
Martha threw the Daily Telegraph on Augustine's face which had the news, ' "The Victors" caught naked with a British supermodel' There was a picture where he was lying naked with this supermodel whose breasts were censored.
Augustine remembered the night he was presented this beauty from the diamond tycoon of Africa. He took her to The Ritz. They had a short conversation before going to bed. He offered her a personal secretary post which she accepted politely as she had a family to support which couldn't be supported only with her modeling carrier. They made love the whole night. Little did they knew that their carrier would be affected by the camera in the suite.
Augustine was brought back to his senses with Martha's slap. this was the first time anyone had hit him. He lost his control. He took out his 9mm automatic and fired a shot. The bullet hit her at the centre of her chest. She just grabbed his Armani suit with her right hand holding her left hand on her chest. She collapsed with a thud on the ground. Augustine slapped his forehead several times for his mistake, but there was no comeback.
James witnessed all the drama from the keyhole. He opened the door with a bang to see his father crying over the greatest mistake of his life. He went near him and asked, "Is she dead." Augustine hugged his son for the last time and said, "Yes." The only sound James heard was a gunshot near his head. He felt his father's body heavy and cold. He screamed for the first and the last time in his life. The butler and the maid servant rushed to the room to see two dead bodies and a dead look in the little boy.
He never cried for their death. Now James was young, handsome, rich, son of the famous, but he was an orphan, which was the most important thing which made him lonely. He was worth $100,000,000,000,000.
He was now 30 and he needed a mate but was afraid, reminding his parents' fights, he always feared to get into a relationship. But God had something good for him and He was waiting for the right time.
James now moved to New York and was looking his global business from here.
