They told me nothing could be done, the ugliness I see each day was a heavy burden reigning over me.

Because of carelessness,  I've had to suffer the consequences everyday of my life.

I was only a boy then, to this day, all I held onto was the memory of what happened years ago.

No friends, no visitors, no one to love, just me and my dark sorrows.
I can never show my face in public, everything around me had to be hidden, I was a living ghost.

The decision to lock me away from the world's eye, was made to save me from great mockery and humiliation, and I didn't mind.

My dad had officially passed down the family's company in my grasp, but not even that could make me a happy man.

My father, I haven't even saw him or my mother not even any of my family members since my fatal accident in my youth, I was locked away, noone could see what became of me, including my own family.
They isolated me, and I couldn't fault their decision, because of my hideous state, but what they did for me, was gave all that I needed to survive through life.

I did my studies in my dungeon,  studied hard, became smart and ready, now that I was the C.E.O of The Montego Publications.

A company thrived from my father and his father before him and the father's before, a company that was passed down from generation to generations.
The business makes millions of dollars being in the construction field,  hired by high end companies to build businesses from scratch.
It was projects, only the rich could afford,  the more projects done, the more money The Montego Publications makes, the more increase in clients.

Now it was my turn to lead.

Having the fortune wrapped around the finger tips, means getting anything done promptly.

Whenever I leave my mansion no one must ever be aware of my presence, it was one of the rule I had instilled for my staff on the compound. 

They were all aware of my schedule time of when I come and go, therefore they would never be in the area at a certain time or place.

I operate my businesses via speaker, my voice was all they could hear, nothing more, nothing less was offered.
It was my only means of communication.

Not even my staff at The Montego Publications were ever aware of my presence.
All they knew was who they worked for by name.
Maybe they all thought I was a very arrogant man, but if its the arrogance that kept the establishment legit then so be it.
Who didn't like my means of operation could be fired in an instant.

Whenever I arrive at the company's building, my driver always takes
my private parking lot, there was a secured elevator that takes me straight to my office.

As early as the morning was, It sat well with my mood, gloomy, so are all my days.

There was much to be done, as I sat behind the large, well polished mahogany desk, I was wrapped up in my work.

The telecom beeped.

"Mr Montego telephone call on line one", Katherine informed.

Even though I haven't met the person behind the voice of my personal assistant it wasn't hard to draw a picture through my mind.

"Put it through".I told her.

"Good day, Mr Montego, this is Doctor Hemsworth calling from the St. Claire's District Hospital, I'm sorry to inform you on such short notice, I'm calling on the behalf of the one Mrs Dorothy White, well sir she has now passed on, we have no means to contact her family, for the only such thing we found from her belongings were a letter she wrote to you with your address stamped on it", in truth I've never met the woman, but she has been my personal caretaker for almost fifty eight years.

"That's preposterous, she was here a day ago, what could of possibly happened?",.

"Well sir, I believe the good Lord has called her home, she was taken off a bus last night, the driver thought she fell asleep not knowing she was already dead", it was such a shame the way she died like that but I still wondered what this all had to do with me.

"Doctor Hemsworth, what does this has to do with me, if I may recall this isn't my problem", it didn't matter to me  if I came off in a rude manner.

"Well sir, I'm afraid that's for you to find out, as I said before she left a letter addressed to you, i haven't opened it, as I believe that should be your doing, but what I would be able to do is fax it over to you, if you may permit me the address information for me to do so", the doctor had already sensed the man's withdrawal.

Alejandro thought about about it once more then made his decision.

The doctor jotted down the details then bid Alejandro a farewell.
