"Memory Lane"

Chapter 2- Raphael

*********

3 years passed...

A huge room that has the best interior design, a wide black tainted window with a snow-white colored curtain, folded neatly on each side. Extensive dark brown wooden bookshelves on the left of the entrance door are made from the finest woods that scream expensive. The elegant light brown sets of sofa and ottoman are on the right near the vast window.

A king-size bed covered in white cotton linen, a beautiful set of lampshades on each side, and a black floor carpet under the bed. A rack of clothes mostly white long sleeves for business attire and a set of luxurious neckties and bowties that match the color of the suits.

A man standing on the edge of his bed, staring at the sets of formal suits that hung in front of him and trousers that lay above his bed. Thinking of what is best to wear as he introduces himself to the business world once again.

"RON! " He called his secretary as he massage his temple and take a deep breath.

"Yes, master. " Ron stands behind him and bows.

"Choose the best suit for me, I feel like I'm going to throw up while choosing. Next time, don't present me with this many clothes to choose from. Anything is fine as long as it meets the dress code of every occasion. " The man said and left his executive assistant for the task.

He is RAPHAEL BRIGGS

He is in the grandest five-star hotel owned by his family. After his parent died in a suspicious car crash he was left alone at a young age and was trained by his grandfather to be the best of all the best in the business world.

"The Briggs Hotels & Chains"

Being the only heir and only child of the family, he inherits all the estate from his parents and grandparents.

The owner and CEO of the well-known hotels, the bachelor, handsome young man who became a failure to every beautiful woman when he announce that he is gay. And became a perfect prey to those who have evil intentions and the ambitious mindset of some asshole.

BUT...

He is Raphael Briggs, a grandson of an ex-military colonel. A black belter in mixed martial arts and taekwondo. A well-trained shooter from a very young age.

No one can put him down except if he allows it.

Raphael stands on the balcony, holding his phone. He is waiting for someone's call. A report from the detective that he assigned to find someone. 3 years ago, when he was freed from his heart problem. He was transferred to Europe to continue his medication with the help of his two personal doctors.

The beating inside him is not his. It was from a kind donor, a woman who died after she gave birth to a son.

He asked about the information of his heart donor from his two personal doctors but the address given to him was not the same anymore. The husband moved to another place after the burial of his wife to begin a fresh chapter with his son.

Raphael wants to give back, he wanted to give full scholarship to the child until college, he even wants to give a house and a lot. He will do anything the family wanted just to show how grateful he is.

Money can't buy him a second life, only the kindness and miracles from God can save him. So he promised himself that he will fulfill whatever the demands of the family.

He is in his deep thoughts and got startled when his phone rang. A number appeared under the name of Detective Griego Madrid.

He took a deep breath and brings the phone to his ear after pressing the answer button.
