RICH ROWAN

Chapter five

Your name is Daniel Rowan and there is a mark close to your ear, I have that mark too.

I was inside the car that fateful night when we were surrounded by some notorious criminals. My wife had warned me several times to stop traveling at night, but I wouldn't listen.

The thieves kidn*pped you. I was so lucky that I was not killed. Your mother and I tried all we could, but they were gone. We invited the police and others but there was nothing they could do about it.

I was at home when the manager brought your application letter to my office.

"Daniel Rowan."

I kept repeating the name boldly written on the letter.

I took up the task to know more about you.

One day, I decided to follow you when you closed from work, that was how I knew where you live. I had come to your house several times, but I only stood close to the gate.

As bishop Daniel narrated his story, everyone was silent.

"Was the CEO cooking a c**k and a bull story?"

"How can thieves just kidnap his son so easily?"

The only lawyer in the room cleared the atmosphere by greeting everyone. He continued from where the bishop stopped. He told everyone how they were able to locate Rowan's guardians.

"On the 20th of July, I was inside the room after a hectic day at work when my phone rang. Alas, it was bishop Daniel. He told me that he wanted me to follow him to follow him to someone's house, but I objected. He pleaded with me and told me that he was going to compensate me with a huge amount of money. Permit me to be secretive. However, we got to Mr. James's residence."

At the mention of Mr. James, Rowan became confused. Mr. James was the father he knew. He wondered how the bishop was able to locate Mr. James.

"I think I have been able to share a little light on this case. Mr. James came inside now," these were the lawyer's words before the door flung open.

Alas, Mr. James was standing close to the door, he was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. Although he was a retired farmer, he still ensured that he dressed smartly.

"Do have your seat," the lawyer said.

"Thank you."

"Who is Daniel Rowan?"

Mr. James greeted everyone before he started his long speech. Everyone was embedded in his story as if he was one of these Hollywood screen writers.

"I saw the name Daniel Rowan inside the bag close to the young boy, that was how we started calling him Daniel Rowan," these were Mr. James last words.

"You mean you saw me close to the river and you took me to your house? You mean you are not my biological father?" Rowan said with tears.

Eva was the only woman inside the room, she was shocked about every piece of information she had received about her husband. She never knew she was married to the son of the popular bishop Daniel. She hoped someone would take her out of her dreamworld.

"As the Chief Executive Officer of this great company, I hereby appoint my only son, Rowan as the new CEO while Silvester will automatically become the managing director," these were the words that turned Rowan into the CEO of one of the best brewery industries in Singapore.

"I am also happy to announce that Dr. Silvester was not part of the plane crash. It was the morning flight that had a crash. I received his message a few minutes ago, stating that he was outside the gate. He will join us soon. I would introduce him properly when he enters.

As soon as Silvester opened the door, everyone started shouting.

"Dr. Silvester is alive!"

He was very happy to be accepted into the meeting, he sat close to bishop Daniel.

Bishop Daniel told everyone everything they needed to know about Dr. Silvester.

"When another child was not forthcoming, we went to the orphanage to adopt a young boy who is now a fully grown up man. We had grown to love him, because he is clever and intelligent," bishop Daniel ended his narration.
