But things work out you know? even if it doesn't feel okay for a long time, or even if it feels like things will never be okay again , everything works out in the end.

Amenadiel's P.O.V.

A few weeks ago, Donovan had a serious talk with me.
He told me about dad's trust fund which I had knowledge of some time back .
I had completely forgotten about it for some years now since 26 years seemed far away at that time.

Anyways the trust fund is my share of the inheritance but now I'm the only family member alive everything automatically becomes mine, but apparently father thought I wouldn't be responsible till a little over 25 where the hustles and difficulties I would have passed through would strengthen me, apparently he was right .

With this , a lawyer Donovan assigned took care of everything , now Donovan wasn't taking care of the money in other words I was now in charge of the money.

You could say I was literally a walking billionaire with this much money and properties I remembered a certain flyer I had seen at Pepe's ice cream shop.
It was a charity event for a school, Blueview high school.

I decided to pay them a visit but I knew pretty soon I had to step in dad's place and maybe just maybe revive the business.
I picked up the telephone and dialed my driver's number .
" be ready in five" I said and hanged up not waiting for a response.

A few moments later , I descended the stairs and made my way downstairs.
The driver as usual had the car parked already awaiting my arrival.
Immediately I got in he set the engine rolling and in less than 5 minutes we were on the road.
" you must be Amenadiel San Morgenstern, I presume "
a voice said with a stretched hand .
"yes , the one and only"
I said with a smirk , and you are?"
I finished off.
"Mr. Winters, the principal of this elite school "
he finished off as he let go of my hand .

He led the way to his office and I followed behind him.
" So my secretary informed me you had called to make enquirers about the charity event eh?"
" yes , I would like to sponsor the school in any way possible including each and every program and also in business terms I would say buy shares"
I finished off looking him in the eye for any signals.

"Is that possible?"

I watched him as he cleared his throat and I knew there was no way he would decline my offer.

"Yes that could be arranged, we would be glad to have a benefactor such as yourself " he said.

"I'm glad to be of help"

I said as I got up and straightened my tuxedo.
As I got closer to the door, I turned .

" my secretary will get in touch with you "

"Okay okay"
he rushed his words out as he struggled to get up and catch up with me.

He made small talk but I was not interested in talking with him.
He snapped me back to reality when I heard a familiar name
" Genesis"
My heart missed abeat when I saw the figure standing right in front of me with her back turned to me.
There was no way it wasn't her.

She turned slowly, fear struck because she wasn't in class.
She frowned her face when she laid eyes on me and I just smiled.

He has started questioning her on the reason why she wasn't in class.
I just stood there admiring her cute awkward replies. I could easily tell she was uncomfortable.
After a while , he left bidding his goodbye and I nodded back .

After he left , an awkward silence descended.
I asked of her how being and before I noticed I had started moving closer and closer.
She had pouted her lips when I didn't answer her, unknown to her this made her extra goofy and cute.
I closed the gap in between us. She got on her tip toes and just as our lips would connect the bell went off and within five seconds the hall way was full of people.

I really wanted to spend sometime with her.
All of a sudden I remembered the V.I.P reservations the Marina restaurant gave to me, I pulled their card fortunately for me it was still in my pocket.
" be there at 8pm this evening "
I said and turned to leave not giving her time to contemplate and accept or refuse .
I was surrounded by students, the girls visibly gawking at me but I didn't care at the moment , only one female had my thoughts . Sighs
Just as i reached out to push the door, a slender hand belonging to a lady collided with mine.
" sorry" she said and rushed out. In a way , I felt like a familiar presence was washing over me.  I quickly rushed out but she was nowhere to be seen.

It was probably my imagination , but I knew better than that .
" let's go to the office " I told the driver immediately I was in my seat."
