Chapter 18 lineage of power
The sunrise was beautiful and alluring. It is nice to watch the sunrise from the bottom of the endless sky from the East. Amazing view to admire and appreciate, but not everyone finds it pleasant.
Just in the center of this gigantic, wide, large mansion, the dark man dripped with sweat as he flexed those muscles on the metal. His back relaxed on the equipment as he lifted the weight that was directly above him.
He has been in the gym for some hours burning all of the thoughts and frustrations of the previous night. He stood up as he got on the treadmill. He ran non-stop.
He turned off the machine, as his steps deflates. He walked it out catching his breath, satisfied with his workout. He stood up as he walked to the bathroom in the gym room.
He got into the jacuzzi, water splashing from left to right cooling his heated body.
After a few minutes,
He came out grabbing a robe as he walked out and entered the elevator that lead directly to his closet. The thud on the door angered him.
Bennett walked in. 'of course, who else?' Nicholas thought. 'his old man needed a little torture' The dark man thought of this as he got a little excited.
"Good morning, sir". Bennett greeted politely as he bowed his head. Nicholas did not even bother to look at him.
"There is nothing pleasant about this morning, and what aspect of stupidity have you come to enroll me with this morning?" Nicholas spoke casually with no expressions at all.
"Miss Middleton is here". Bennett added. He had picked up the courage to tell him those words when the spoilt brat disrespected him earlier. A little torture from Nicholas would put her in her place.
Nicholas's brows rose to Bennett's words.
"I do not intend having a disoriented beguiled lowbrowed brat for breakfast, Bennett".
Nicholas walked out of the closet wearing a black long sleeve shirt that fitted him, showing off his built muscles. The black pants also fitted him. An expensive brand.
His right hand was on his left wrist as he wore the elegant wristwatch that was designed with both diamond and gold. His other wrist was filled with other black jewels that represent pride and power.
In his fingers, held the most powerful jewel of them all. A Ring. Not just any ring. It is the Ross's pride. It has been worn by generations. The lineage of power and wealth. It was passed from his father to him, and it never leaves his fingers.
"But she's waiting, sir". Bennett said calmly with smiles hidden behind those words.
"Are you trying to annoy me, Bennett?" Nicholas asked nonchalantly. "Because if you are, I wouldn't mind having you for breakfast this morning". The dark man said as he walked out of the room.
Bennett froze at first, his boss's words these days are highly terrifying, no one knows his thoughts.

In the same minute,
"Miss Genevieve, you have to wait for Mr. Ross to come by himself, you can't go see him, ma'am". A maid said as she tried to stop Genevieve from going through the elevator.
"You must be mad, do you know who I am?" Genevieve spoke so loud with anger. "Do you know who I am?" She repeated.
"I do ma'am but you still can't go, it's for your own......" The maid said as a slap landed on her cheek before she could complete the sentence.
The elevator door opened as the dark man stepped out. Genevieve had just descended on the maid when Nicholas stepped out. The lady's hand was still on the side of her face, head bent down.
