CHAPTER 4: HE'S THE MASTER?
1148 Words
He staggered back to get his trousers from the bed. He was still feeling dizzy when he managed to slip his trousers on.
The men, sensing his actions, guarded him to the car. Williams only had to tell the driver his address and didn't even know when they got home.
When he stepped out, he stopped suddenly as he felt peace overtaking him.
Suddenly, he wasn't feeling pain as he initially was. It felt like he was healing up. The pain coming from his head was also gone.
No, that wasn't it. It was his determination that was making his blood boil. What if there was something about himself that he didn't know? He couldn't just drop from the sky, something must be connected to him.
It was at that moment that he was determined to get back his memory at all costs. Perhaps, there was more to him than he knew.
The drive to the party was longer than Williams had expected. Dressed in a black suit that he had struggled to buy after his third salary, and black shoes, Williams complemented it with his good looks.
Merry didn't talk to him when he got to her house. And the view that greeted him told him the reason why she was so upset. Williams was a pauper and nobody but Merry was a billionaire.
For Williams, he never wanted any of it and didn't even remember the previous character of his life. It felt like life was playing tricks on him.
He had to visit the hospital last night, and the doctor confirmed that he had broken some ribs, but he would be fine.
Williams played with the big ring on his finger. Actually, the ring was the only living thing he found on himself after he woke up in the orphanage years back. Though he didn't remember anything about it, the ring gave him a sense of belonging.
So, he loved wearing it even though it was old-fashioned already.
"Can you please remove the ring? It's old-fashioned and annoying," Merry said softly.
Williams looked at her for a moment. "I'm sorry but I can't. The ring is all that I have got."
Merry scoffed just as the car pulled to a sudden stop. It seemed like they'd arrived at the Party hall already.
Diamond Hall was the venue for the party, and it was one of the top-notch venues in the state. Billionaires love to party in it because of its designs and high-quality taste.
Actually, Williams had never imagined he could be entering such a building so soon in his life.
When they walked inside, the first person Williams saw was Jack. He was walking towards them with a lady whose hand was locked in his.
Apparently, it seemed like Jack saw them first.
"What the f**k are you doing here?"
Jack sounded surprised.
Merry sighed. "He's my husband."
"Husband?" Jack was suddenly afraid, because he knew he was nothing
Compared to Linas' family, why did he want to be with Kate?
"Oh, see a dear cousin and her homeless husband," Jack said suddenly, coming to join the others.
Jack was confused, but soon Jack explained, "He is just a son-in-law in Linas' family, the lowest person in our home, lower than servants!"
"I have a home!" Williams said at once, already boiling with anger.
Hearing Jack's words, Jack suddenly burst into laughter. "Then, I'm going to put your good-for-nothing husband into jail. He should learn to be one."
Merry stepped forward. "You will not speak to him that way. He's here as an invitee and as important as you are."
Jack laughed more. "You should be ashamed of marrying him. He's nothing but a loser and well, he's not as important as I am because he has nothing! Absolutely nothing!" He muttered with a smug face.
"Jack, what the f**k is happening here?" A rich baritone voice boomed again, and everyone turned to look at him. He was dressed in a BRUNELLO CUCINELLI SUIT that cost $45,000.
Apparently, he was very wealthy.
"Don't mind, Mr, Alfred, "Jack said quietly.
"This guy is a criminal and a loser. He should be kicked out of the party, " he opened.
Merry sighed and looked away with embarrassment while Smith gave Jack a pleasing smile.
Alfred nodded at him and looked over at Williams, at his old suit. "I don't remember I invited you. Who are you?
Merry explained, "Sir, he's my husband; he didn't mean to mess up your party. I'll let him leave right now."
Alfred looked at Merry, "little princess of the Lina family? Ok, just let him leave, I won't give him an extra punishment."
"Ok, I'll leave." Williams reluctantly raised his hand.
At this moment, Alfred suddenly noticed the ring on Williams's finger.
Shock flickered across his face as he noted the inscription on the ring.
Though he couldn't really see it clearly.
"What are you waiting for! Get the good-for-nothing guy out of the hall at once!" Jack yelled when Alfred's guardians stood back.
Alfred raised a hand to stop them and looked up at Williams. "May I see you for a moment?"
Williams stopped., "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes, young man, don't leave, come with me," Alfred said, and he shook his hand, his guardians then surrounded Williams.
Merry was scared, Alfred is the most powerful and richest man in the city, and even Lina's family can't disobey his order, not to mention rescuing his son-in-law from him. Although Merry hated Williams, she didn't want him to be killed.
"Don't worry, girl, I won't hurt him, "Alfred said, seeing the worry on Merry's face. He comforted her, which he seldom does.
Williams' feet felt heavy as he followed, and he couldn't stop feeling out of place. He entered a room and the door closed behind him. He looked behind him, while fear crawled into him.
"Don't be scared," Alfred said suddenly, "I just need to check something."
Williams looked at him and raised a brow.
"What is that?"
Alfred looked down at the ring. "May I have a look?"
Williams clenched his hands angrily. I'm not giving you this ring! It's mine, and I don't care if it's old-fashioned, but it's mine!"
"What?" Alfred gathered his brows. "No, I mean I'm not taking it. I just want to check something out, please."
Williams hesitated for a moment and slowly stretched the ring out.
Alfred took it and looked over at the inscription. The word was clear as the day. There was a big 'Hercules' on it. Alfred's heart skipped a beat as he looked up at Williams, his body shuddering slightly.
This old man was very excited, he mumbled, "Hercules, Hercules....
Williams didn't know what had happened, but he didn't dare to move. Suddenly Alfred got on his knees, and the old man cried.
"Finally, we found you, master!"
