Chapter 14

5 years later "I'm Grace reporting here live at the Grand Silverman mansion. Anyone who is anyone in the show business, Wall Street, the richest and most famous are all here to attend a celebration party event that is being done to honor the late Lauren Silverman.

From famous celebs, directors, rich businessmen to billionaires from all over the world, they are all here at this grand luxurious mansion. And it is even being rumored that the president might be one of the honored guests attending. Millions of dollars have been spent in hosting this party as you can expect nothing less from a party of this magnitude.

From the tightened security of many men in black everywhere to the world's best master chefs being brought to cook the food, I can't even begin to describe this. And who might you ask is hosting this prestigious billion-dollar party?’’ The reporter said while facing the camera.

“It is none other than the 2 richest billionaires in America, Nathan Curtis Silverman, and Ricardo "Ricky" Cadillac. These two men have taken the world by storm from owning large shares in big oil companies to airline companies and even owning the major banks in many countries. They just came out of nowhere three years ago and have not stopped getting richer year by year. Although what we do know, is that one of the billionaires is the son of Lauren Silverman who is being honored today after dying from that tragedy. "

"Lauren would surely be happy to see what her son has achieved," the reporter said finishing her report while standing outside the gate as many reporters were doing while hoping to be allowed to enter into this magnificent mansion.

It was no longer the same as it was before, the mansion was now larger as it had been expanded after the owner bought the other two mansions next door for expansion.

It was rumored to have an uncountable number of rooms from indoor tennis courts, indoor theatre, party rooms, spa rooms, libraries, soccer grounds, etc., and many more. Heck, the place at about a hundred people assigned to look after it from maids, waiters, butlers, etc. However, the garage was another grand thing as it had cars that many people dreamed in their unimaginable dreams. The swimming pools, the Jacuzzi, it was the dream home.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our humble billion-dollar abode." I, Nathan Curtis Silverman the Billionaire said to the large audience of the rich and famous whose eyes were on me and my best friend Ricardo "Ricky" Cadillac the other billionaire.

As you can see, we had made it. Through hard work, persistence, and ruthlessness we had finally accomplished our quest of becoming billionaires. With my help, Ricky's drug business had boomed reaching worldwide status, after that Ricky did part of his deal giving me money to invest in other things.

I did so driven and intelligently investing in things that I knew from research and calculating would bring more money in the future. At first, things were not going as planned but I never gave up and did from real estate to investing in stocks the money started growing and growing that we ended up buying shares in things like oil companies, etc. which were now continuing to bring us more profits and more money. Ricky did all the dirty work.

As their eyes were on me and my business partner I enjoyed the envious gazes I was seeing on some of their faces as we were now the richest billionaires in the country and they all knew they had been invited here for us to gloat and shove our riches and accomplishments in their faces.

Some just came to try and befriend us to have powerful friends like the president for example he needed us for his next election to fund him.

What can I say, money was power.

"I would like to thank you all for coming here to honor my dear beloved mother, a wonderful woman who shall surely be missed, be free to look around this great museum made in honor of my mother," I said sincerely to the crowd that was standing in a large museum room dedicated to my mother.

There were pictures of her smiling on the walls, her first movies which she acted in, showing in the many movie screens on the walls. With projectors showing her life and history. Tears almost fell from my eyes from seeing her face filling this while room. Luckily, I had Ricky next to me for support as he knew how I felt about my mother. Me and Ricky had become close more like brothers sharing the same goals.

He now looked so different from that gangster Ricky I first met in school. He was now grown up and now dressed in a much better fashion than those baggy jeans he used to wear. He now looked more like a rich billionaire mafia always with his bodyguards surrounding him as he had many enemies in his drug business, other rich jealous mafias.

"OK ladies and gentlemen and Mr. President of course," I said doing a humorous wink to the president.

"It is time for us to go to the party room and party in grand style," I said to them and my servants came in and started escorting them to the party room.

Of course, me and Ricky we went first, and they all followed.

We entered the party room which had a big stage where celebrity singers were performing their hit songs, there was a jacuzzi and massage room once the corner, a bar with a minute expert bartender, a big dance floor near some famous DJ who was rocking his famous beats and there was a buffet table were famous chefs were standing to take any orders and cook them.

Waiters and waitresses were bouncing all over the room bringing goods to any hungry guest. There was also sift cushy comfortable lounged for guest to sit on.

There was also a special VIP section for me and Ricky and our important guest.

As I sat in the VIP section with Ricky and our important guest like the president, I felt good. The party was going well from the looks of the satisfied guests.

While talking to the president I then saw that all the guests were now in the party room especially my targets the ones I actually wanted to see.

I threw a wink at Ricky to inform him of what I was going to do. He just smiled and nodded at me.

I went and started mingling with other guests. The rich and famous, the celebs were all fighting to be even able to talk to me, hooligans I thought to myself.

Money made people lose their dignity. I called my bodyguards who came and surrounded me so no one could come near me. I walked until I reached my targets.

I signaled for my guards to leave some space so I could chat with these two people.

"OMG Nathan is that you," Claire said pretending as if we had departed under good terms. That Evil Bitch. But her partner did not look happy.

"It's good to see you again Claire and Kevin since the last time we departed under bad circumstances," I said to them with an evil smirk on my face and greeted my other high school friends who had also betrayed me by unfriending me.

Although they had unfriended me that last time, I knew that right now if I looked into my Facebook or Twitter, I would see their friend requests or follows and friendly messages from them. Pathetic people they were.

Noticing my evil smirk which they recognized from my high school days to mean trouble for whoever it was directed to, they all started to look scared nervous. They better be.

"Um yeah, but at least you have forgiven us since you invited us to this grand party. I can't believe you know the president and how does it feel to be the richest billionaire, you’re even much richer than before." Claire said to me now trying to flirt with me, blinking her eyes and biting her lips.

She thought I was going to fall for that act, she now disgusted me and heck, and I had at my disposal many more beautiful girls than her. However, I pretended to play along as my revenge plan for her had now started and I was going to crush her heart more than she once did mine.

And as for Kelvin, his destruction was coming first I thought while looking and seeing his jealousy at Claire's flirting with me. Hmm very good as it meant he was in love with her as I could see an engagement ring on Claire's finger. That meant more pain for him.

I then excused myself from them and went and stood in front of the stage and took the mike while holding my glass of expensive wine to make a speech.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, if you are enjoying the party shout out loud," I said to them, and shout and scream they did.

"Good. I would like to say that I came here to win, to thrive, to conquer, to prosper, and to rise to become Nathan Curtis Silverman the billionaire after losing. And here among enemies, friends, some wolves in sheep's clothing, I can safely and victoriously say that I have done that. I once lost and now, I win. So, to all who betrayed or deserted me during my fall, watch out as I'm coming for you." I said while staring at my old high school friends in the eye with a victorious smirk on my face.

"And so while also honoring my mother and to celebrate my success in taking over the Kevin millionaire company, I would like everybody to raise their glasses in the air as I drink to that," I said while raising my glass with everyone also doing the cheer while now staring at Kelvin who looked to be in shock from the news.

I then left the stage for some performer to come next.

As I came down the stage, I looked at Ricky who gave me thumbs up as I was starting my plan of getting my sweet sweet revenge.
