My Ghost Billionaire

Adrian Ryder's world shattered in an instant. One moment, he was driving home with his family.

Next, brakes of the car failed, causing their car to crash.

Adrian Ryder a young successful Billionaire and at the age of 25 he was up and ready to take over his parent's legacy as the only child he was given all the love and attention needed

On this day

"Mum, you know you don't have to follow us to this meeting,

it's just a champagne party we need to approach some potential investors this evening" Adrian spoke his tone was gentle yet firm wanting to ease her worries

"Do you take me as an old hag? Boy don't worry I have my friends too I won't disrupt any of your business dealings" she replied with a frown on her brows

"Alright now boys come on let's go get ready," Adrian's mum said with a smile,

she knew she would win this fight even before it started.

Adrian glanced at his dad, who just shrugged, choosing to keep his mouth shut.

"Helpless romantic," Adrian muttered in frustration.

Upon reaching the event, Adrian and his dad concluded their discussions with potential business investors.

However, Adrian started to feel restless. He called his mother so they could be on their way home. As they walked to the car, his restlessness increased, but he brushed it off.

There had been a series of attacks on him since he was old enough to take over the family legacy, and he didn't want to put his family in danger.

He opened the passenger seat for his mom, but she stood there, refusing to get in.

"You want to separate me from my husband," she huffed, turning her head away.

Adrian rolled his eyes and opened the back seat door. "Mom, please stay with your husband. I'm not trying to separate anyone."

"Don't worry, Adrian. I'm sure you'll find a fine young lady that you'll fall in love with and never want to be separated from her ever again."

"I don't think so" Adrian replied with a shrug

"You and your father are one of a kind you act so tough but you have a soft heart" Adrian's mum replied

After a few minutes of driving, they saw a big truck parked horizontally across the road Adrian tried to hit the brakes but it wasn't working his only hope was to drive the car in another direction to avoid a collision;

Their car changed direction with such speed that the car tumbled before reaching a cruel stop.

Shattered glass and screeching tires filled the air.

' Somebody... help,' he weakly whispered as he turned his head to look at his parents in the back seat, but they were almost unrecognizable with the blood all over them,

he could remember vividly the feeling of knives piercing through his heart, then he passed out from the pain.

Adrian's spirit drifted from his body and he stood, witnessing the chaos. He saw his family motionless,

first responders team was in the process of wrapping their bodies in body bags, surrounded by flashing lights,

"It's all my fault. I never should have brought them here," he thought to himself. Grief and guilt consumed him.

He saw his body being rushed to the hospital while he stood at the scene feeling dead, watching as the first responders and doctors were trying to save him.

'Why!!!' he screamed, with his heart burning in his chest, but nobody could hear him; feeling so broken and empty,

he then turned his back and walked away. From the pain, from the past, he just kept walking forward.

Months passed, or perhaps years. Time was lost to Adrian as he was lost to himself. Adrian's spirit wandered, searching for peace, but he never found it.

~Somewhere In City A~

After what felt like an eternity of wandering, he found himself in a bustling town, irresistibly drawn to a vibrant campus. As he stepped onto the campus grounds, he saw her

"Is she an angel?" Adrian mouthed to himself as he caught sight of her. For the first time in a long while, his raging heart and stormy mind fell silent.

He spotted her, a student perhaps, whose sparkling eyes and infectious laughter captivated him. Adrian watched entranced as she interacted with her friends.

She had a striking pair of silver eyes and long brunette hair, and she wore a simple outfit of baggy black jeans and a white crop top. Yet, there was something extraordinary about her that set her apart from every other girl, even amidst the crowd.

For weeks, Adrian observed Sheila from a distance. She radiated positive energy, and her presence lit up the space around her.

And for the first time since his grieving Adrian thought about something else apart from the death of his parents.

"What happened back then was it an opposing family or was it an insider, that job was done by an insider no doubt but who is the mastermind" his head was working overtime trying to figure things out

"I would not show mercy, whoever did this they have to pay," he thought deeply with anger coursing through his blood.
