“I have bad news Boss.  Your wife was kidnapped from the cruise ship.  Her bodyguards colluded with the kidnappers.”

“What? “ The pen he was holding snapped into two.  His face contorted in fury. 

“Find out who the kidnappers are right now!  Exhaust all resources to bring her back!”  He commanded urgently, his voice filled with both anger and anguish.

“Bo… Boss.   Their get away boat was caught in a tornado and has capsized.  The kidnappers’ bloated bodies were recovered.  Your wife is missing.”  The assistant was scared to say that probably his wife is also dead.

Time stood still.

Erik felt as if an iron fist squeezed his heart.  It stopped beating for a few seconds and he cannot breathe.  Clutching his chest, He staggered backwards and fell down as he lost consciousness.

The Billionaire’s Promise

"At least you were sensible enough to keep your marriage a secret.  Find time to divorce her.  You can keep her if you want but she can never carry my surname."  George said with finality.

"I have a lot of business associates and close friends whose daughters or granddaughters would be happy to marry you.  You don't lack choices.  Why settle for someone like her?"  George continued to scold Erik.

"Grandpa, you don't even know what she is like.  It is not her fault to be born into a poor family.  She graduated at the top of her class and is very talented.  Her beauty is only secondary to her talents.  Besides, it is as if I need to rely on the strength of my wife's family to succeed."  Erik explained.

George looked at his grandson thoughtfully.  'This rascal is right.  He doesn't need a marriage alliance to be successful.'  But he did not dare to utter his thoughts.
