Prologue

La Defense, France

Inside of one of the biggest tower, on the highest floor, a man was typing on his laptop. In his background a beautiful view of snow falling down, the room was almost empty, the only thing present were three chairs, a desk with a laptop.

The view seemed to accompany the man, his expression was icy cold, his eyes were indifferent. The man was terrifyingly handsome and his icy expression only increased his aura.

The whole tower was filled with sound but only in this room silence was present. Even when he was typing no sound could be heard from the keyboard.

The door of the room opened without even a knock, an old man in a black suit entered the room. His appearance was neat, His whole being was clean, not a single crease in his suit could be seen, his hair was combed back neatly without a single a hair sticking out. He had a bit of resemblance to the man sitting behind the desk.

Each of his steps was heavy, he directly sat down in the chair in front of the man who didn't even react at the entrance of the old man. And with a rough voice:

"Jack, I want a great-grandson"

Jack stopped typing, he slowly looked up to his grandfather sitting in front of him. His eyes held a trace of surprise.

"Don't want" after this answer, Jack returned his eyes to his laptop while his finger hit the keyboard.

"You are already 28, it's time for you to give me a great-grandson, I already arranged a blind date for you with the daughter of a friend, you must be there next Friday at 8 pm"

"I have meeting" the man once again stopped typing and he answered. Even though he didn't show it, the man was annoyed.

"I am old, this is my last wish, I want a great-grandson" the old man pleaded.

This time the man closed his laptop.

"I will find someone myself. No need to bother yourself" the man stared straight into the eyes of the old man in front of him, unknowingly the man who had once luxurious black hair was left only with a head filled with white hair. The eyes who were once filled with arrogance and power, those eyes who terrified anyone stared by them had become muddy. His face was filled with wrinkles even though the man step were still heavy as the past, his figure tinned down.

"I will give two years at most" the old man returned the stare; his face was determined "Even a great-granddaughter would be good".

The eyes of Jack softened, the old man in front of him raised him up alone when both of his parents left this world when he was alone the old man took him under his wings and protected him against those wolves who were aiming for his shares.

The old man who retired and sworn to never go back to this dog eat dog world returned for his grandson and protected and taught him until he was able to be a qualified leader.

The old man left, this time with lighter steps as if he had one less problem to worry about.

A bit later Jack taped a key on his laptop.

In less than a minute, a knock was heard.

"Enter"

A beautiful woman entered the room, she was dressed in business attire. Her voice was soft but her tone was respectful: "Yes, Sir do you need anything?"

"Marry me" Jack voice still held the same indifference while he stared at the numerous number flashing on his laptop.

"..." His secretary's face was filled with disbelief, she still stared at the devilishly charming man sitting on his chair. Her thoughts were in disarray. She was repeatedly telling herself that she had misheard but she did not have the gut to ask him to repeat himself, the last time a person dared to ask this man to repeat himself the person was demoted.

After hearing no response Jack looked at his secretary who was in a daze while staring at him.

He got up, and slowly walked toward his secretary. Each of his steps was heard in the silent room. As he approached her he could see her blushing, he didn't even know that someone could blush so much.

She stared at her boss slowly walking toward her. She could hear her heart beating madly against her chest. Even though he was in a suit, she could feel that the man in front of her had a godly body.

Just his face was already enough to charm the world but if you added his body in the mix, he was so good that he shouldn't exist.

She knew that her boss was famous, a lot of people were madly in love with this man. This man who at the age of 28 controlled one of the most powerful titans in the world. The man who was worth more than 10 billion officially, but more than 100 unofficially. The man who was the dream of countless girls.

But this man who just asked her to marry him. She knew, she knew that her boss isn't the joking, as always, his expression was calm and serious.

Secretary: URGENT my boss just asked to marry me what do I do? Waiting for a response!

Secretary: URGENT my boss is dangerously approaching me what do I do? Waiting for a response!
