RICH AND FAMOUS

AMBITION

Drugs has been part of our culture since the middle of the last century. An estimated 208 million people internationally consume illegal drugs particularly cocaine. In 2014 there was an estimated 1.5 million monthly cocaine users aged 12 or older. The world of drugs became a market place however billions of dollars were made, the demand for cocaine grew higher as it became the fastest selling product in all of America. Just think about it, who produce these drugs? How much do they earn? How powerful are they? Most drug lords were famous but known as politicians or business owners, they kept their identity unknown while others loved to be known as the greatest mafia of all time however they become "infamous."
Being one of the most wanted drug lords alive at 30, Charles had his own drug cartel and was wanted by the Federal bureau of investigation and the Drug enforcement agency, he started from the bottom to become the infamous "Charles wilder" however he was known for being clever but without Chelsco, Charles would be futile. At this moment Charles is being interrogated by the DEA to turn in chelsco or go down for money laundering and drug trafficking, he was given an ultimatum.

" Hello detectives, it seems you are all excited to hear my story, ease your mind cause we will be here for a while." Charles tells the DEA agents.
" Enough of your sarcasm! we are not interested in your story just turn in Chelsco Rodriguez already. " One of the detectives replies.
" You have to let me speak if you need your beloved chelsco rodriguez, this is why I abhor working with the DEA, you all are always in a haste which is why you were never successful in all your operations to capture one member of the Rodriguez family for the last thirty years and look, now you need my help to capture the most wanted member of the Rodriguez family and you want it done in 10 seconds? Come on people if you could be patient for thirty years well what is another 24 hours?" Charles asks the detectives.
" Look Mr Charles this isn't a negotiation it is you or chelsco Rodriguez. " One of the agents replied Charles.
" Haha, me? Come on I know I have earned my place as a criminal but not as much as the Rodriguez family however we all know chelsco Rodriguez is worth more than me and Pablo Escobar if he were still alive so cut the crap and get your self a drink cause we will be here for a while. " Charles replies while he picks up a glass of whisky.

Snce I was five years old being Rich and famous was always my dream. You may ask your self why would a kid at that age know the value of money? well i didnt know the value of money however I knew money could buy me candy and other items which I loved. Back then if I was given fifty dollars I made sure I spent it all. I had always wanted to be rich and famous but what I didnt know was being rich and famous comes with a very high price but I didnt care, all I wanted was to be a billionaire however I payed no attention to it's cost because I was driven by revenge and the good life so it didnt matter who was standing in my way, I just knew i had to get it right. Everyone has a story to tell well mine will blow your mind, It all started with love. I was the most innocent guy around who could not hurt a fly. Selling drugs was never an option for me talk less of being the most wanted drug lord in the United States. I never wanted all this except the money. It all started with love, hate and revenge. I lost my best friend Anthony in this war, I now believe in the saying. "Money is the root of all evil". My name is Charles Wilder and I'm a billionaire drug lord who is now being questioned by the FBI and DEA, how did I get here? Well it all started with my best friend actually he was more like a brother to me.

" Charles! Charles! I got the job " Anthony screamed out loud.
" You mean your four hundred dollar job? " Charles replied with disappointment.
" Four hundred dollar job? At least I've got my self a job. Just take a look at your self Charles all You do is sit on the couch all day dreaming of becoming a billoniare, wake up Bro! That life ain't for you remember Your parents are no longer alive and you need to provide and care for your self, stop dreaming! ".
" You know Anthony, there is a big difference between the both of us. I actually have an ambition and I don't see my self working for anyone, I see my self being the boss." Charles replied.
" Charles if you actually worked for someone I would be happy for you. You seat all day doing nothing and all you do is dream. life doesn't work like that my friend."
" Wait a minute, who said I do nothing? " Charles asks.
" Everyone living in the streets of Williamsburg brooklyn! Including Mrs Aniston's daughter."
" How tho? What does that 12 year old brat have to do with this? "
" More than you can imagine, she actually referred to You as a jobless young man with no future." Anthony replies with sacarsm.
" What? You mean she said that? "
" Of course she did and she must have heared it from the streets. You know the streets got ears."
" Bull shit, I'll make sure they all kneel before me when I become a self made billoniare." Charles replies as he steps up. "Again with that crap? Charles you are 23 with a promising future ahead of You, get your shit right and look for a job." Anthony tells Charles.
" I get you bro but I ain't doing nothing if it has nothing to do with engineering." Charles replies.
" Forget about that, look for a small job for now."
" Alright then I'll do my best ". Charles replies.

Anthony has been a very close friend of mine since my parents died. We met in an orphanage home where we both looked out for each other. Anthony lost his parents in a car crash and Since then we have been like brothers. Nothing could come between us. Things were going so smoothly, Anthony had a new job that paid weekly so we were able to afford the rent and other expenses.
I always wondered what my life would be like if my parents were alive, they were the best thing that ever happened to me but they were found dead in midtown Manhattan. It was said that they were killed by a drug cartel apparently my father Mr Leonard had an information linking an important man in the government to the blue sea cartel however after investigations police stated that Mr Leonard called the police to report the smuggling of cocaine into the United States. His last words were "Help help I've got information about the blue sea cartel and their boss is in the government. " The police said he was shot while trying to spill the beans. People called him a snitch, they said he got what he deserved But what they didn't know was Mr Leonard was running for his life with his innocent wife and untill this day that mystery remains unsolved.

" I wonder who that important man is " Charles tells Anthony as he mopes at the ceiling.
" What man? Anthony replied.
" The one who was behind my parents death. " Charles replied.
" You still think of that? Let it go bro it's in the past now " Anthony tells Charles.
" I know man but anytime I think of it I can't help but wonder what life would have looked like if they were still here."
" Calm down Charles look on the bright side, at least you still have me."
" You are right bro I'm glad I have you." Charles replies.
" Now you need to get up and make your parents proud. look for a job and get married." Anthony briefs Charles while he walked towards the fridge.
" Haha, Get married? No man I am not willing to stick with one girl, I love being America's number one player. " Charles replies laughing out loud.
" You are so funny, if only you knew how lucky you are. I will do anything to screw one of those chicks you bring in here every week."Anthony replied.
" Haha, you mean every day right?" Charles replies.
" How about Maya? She's the only girl who lasted two nights you know."
" Oh Maya Maya Maya! She lasted two nights because she has a great ass a really big one you know." Charles replies with sarcasm.
" I hope you change your ways".
" I hope I do." Charles replies.

Although I never wanted to investigate my parents death but I never knew one day i'd come across their killers. All I cared about was being a billionaire, well my dreams were about to come true".
