Alexander stood at his desk, his mind drifting aimlessly since his meeting with the WHO executives. Their words echoed in his head, particularly hers: "Don't expect history to remember a man like you."
The words had been circling his mind for a while now. Who was he, really? He was Alexander Blackwell, the second head of the Blackwell fortune. But that was the problem—he was the second head.
His father had been a pioneer of his generation. As long as Blackwell Investments thrived, his name would be etched into history alongside the likes of John D. Rockefeller Sr., Mayer Amschel Rothschild, and other financial titans. He would be exalted as a visionary.
But what about him? The second head? Do people remember John D. Rockefeller Jr.? Or the Rothschild heirs, who, despite amassing even greater wealth than their father, remained overshadowed? Their names weren't spoken with the same reverence as the men who started it all.
