Greater Heights

"Why won't you just let me die!?", Alex yelled at him, but it was the same expressionless face. But then, it slowly started to melt. And the next moment, tears were streaming down his cheeks.
"Because I made a promise to your mom to make sure nothing happens to you!", he finally managed to choke out. But before Alex even got a chance to ask more, the freezing cold and blood loss knocked him out...
-------------------------
Alex believes that there is nothing beyond him and his billionaire life... nothing beyond his mansion in NYC. But he is very wrong... when his family invites him to China, he goes happily, unaware that nothing will ever be the same... unaware, that he has more enemies than he knows...
Next thing he knows... he is stranded on one of the most deadly peaks on the planet. As if that weren't bad enough, that peak is in a country which doesn't have much of a good reputation.
Read as he battles not only physical factors, but emotional ones as well. Read, as he is shown the world as it is without the cloak of media... all while having a very unlikely companion...
