No.
He will not take 'No' for an answer. He has given up so much, suffered a great deal to be where he is today. Up to date, he has been named as one of the most influential figure in the entertainment industry. Coming from a billionaire background, he has been under the spotlight since he was young. As he watched his siblings gained popularity from the family business, he wanted to run away. However, the responsibility now falls in his hand. The blinding lights of the cameras and the loud cheers from reporters and fans alike, he has nowhere to go. The only person he finds confidence to confide in was his mother, but now that she has passed away, he is once again left alone. Before she passed, she left him a note that directs him to where he is right now.
=================
Blake Carson is an intelligent businessman. He inherits his father's stunning figure and his mother's intuition. Once, he was a troublemaker, a rebel who challenged the law and could not care less about the world. His life changed after his mother's passing, his father was devastated that he retired from the entertainment industry, leaving his youngest to take over. Blake was a TOP young model in his 20s, under the influence of his eldest sister, Elena Carson, who is now a renowned model and fashion designer. Despite his notorious past records in High School, amazingly he still held such flawless academic record that teachers were convinced he was a born genius. He received a scholarship to Yale to study business and he worked as a casual model while completing his studies. Blake and Elena are very close, they both inherit their mother's witt and sense of humour. On the other hand, Jacky Carson, the middle kid of the Carson's family has a different agenda. He might not have the good looks that Blake and Elena have, but he is gifted with a strong character and boldness that lands him the job as a high end lawyer in Sydney. The 3 siblings work together in a perfectly synchronised harmony that earns the respect of their employees and partners alike.
At 29 years old, Blake manages Altheda Entertainment as per his father's instruction. He has got many big celebrities signed under his company name - models, artists and actors. Altheda has a powerful presence in the entertainment industry that other smaller companies dream of advancing into the limelight. Elena manages Altheda's branch in the US, together with her husband who is a jewellery designer, Francois Sorrentino. His unique designs win the hearts of many admirers, with the ladies dreaming of wearing a custom wedding ring under FS special design - which is only made once, thus making it very precious. Jacky helps the family by enforcing contracts and solves disputes between those artists signed under Altheda with their clients. Both sons of the Carson family are dubbed the most eligible bachelors in Vogue magazine and paparazzi flock to where ever they make an appearance.
Aren't they impressive?
Everything is going well up to the point where their mother's will is to be revealed.
=========
The 3 siblings gathered together in the spacious meeting room of Altheda's Main HQ. All of them wear a gloomy expression on their faces with occasional confused glances at one another. Indeed, Mum did not leave them with an easy instruction to follow. In order to receive the inheritance, each sibling has to complete a mission. Unfortunately, only Elena is eligible to claim her share as she had already fulfilled her duty - to open an overseas branch of the family business and give back to society. Elena and Frank (nickname for Francois) are both philanthropists, their charity work is endless. The Carson's legal team, under the direction of William Carson, their father , has agreed to give Elena her share.
Jacky is the younger version of his father's iron fist. He is very determined to win cases and he will do anything to achieve success. As a very successful lawyer, he only takes in cases which he knows he will win, otherwise he will not accept. He does not do pro bono service, his partner firm exists for that purpose. He has a cold personality on the outside, he only warms up to his family. He is stubborn and indifferent, so distanced that his love life is almost non-existent. His mother's task has left him feeling bewildered as he knows he is challenged completely out of his comfort zone. In order to gain a little bit of warmth back into his life, Mrs.Carson ordered him to take over the Merinda Hospice and Orphanage just on the outskirts of Sydney. She wanted Jacky to learn to care about other people without thinking of gaining something in return.
As for her youngest son, late Mrs.Carson has a special request. Since young, due to his rebellious nature and good looks, Blake has been stamped with a big "Casanova" label. He is known to plaster his face on the front cover of magazines with different girls that he dated for the thrill of it. Now that he has a huge responsibility in his hands, he can't afford to live like that anymore. The condition is lied out for Blake - he has to find his one true love and get engaged on his 30th birthday or else his shares as CEO of Altheda will be divided equally to all stakeholders. Mrs.Carson believed his son has a fear of commitment, but to be a good CEO, he has to learn to commit to his duties and think of what's best for everyone under his command,not just his own.
=============
With such an absurd revelation, the 3 siblings are left stunned. Elena is worried about her brother's tasks, knowing very well how the two would handle it, she's sceptical. Nevertheless, she has faith in both of them to do as required. Although her main concern is Blake. As people file out of the meeting room, William Carson, tugs at his daughter's elbow gently and asks her to stay behind. Jacky and Blake exchanged glances, Elena nods at both of them and watches as the two confused boys walk out.
"As expected, Ali did not disappoint me."
Bill (William) speaks with a slightly amused tone.
"Dad, did you know what Mum has planned in her will?" Elena asks.
"Ali and I drafted them together when her conditions got worse." a solemn look sweep over Bill's face. "We know her time is almost up and we can't let things run a mock after her departure."
Elena looks up at her father, with a quizzical expression.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Is Blake still dating that raunchy model, Melissa Winston?"
"I don't know. The last time we spoke was before Mum's surgery 6 months ago and he mentioned about proposing. Mum was very reluctant to agree, they've only been dating for 3 months!" Elena sighed.
"Find out discreetly. If he is engaged, he has to make a public declaration on his 30th birthday with his fiancee. Prior to that, he has to make public appearance with her, once every month for at least 6 months. This is my way of tracking if he's doing his mission right." Bill's lips curved into a smile.
Elena's eyes sparkle. She understands what her father wants and she knows exactly what to do. With Altheda's resources, she can get informations really easily. Even exclusive information that has yet been released to the public.
"Report to me about your findings. Remind them we've got our Charity Night in two weeks and I expect Blake to come with a date."
Elena smiles as she nods her head and makes her exit.
'Blake.. time to grow up lil bro.' she thinks to herself as she makes a call to her assistant.
"Find out who's Blake's fiancee is and make sure he doesn't appear alone for the Charity Night. He's only got 8 months to make it right before his next birthday, let's see what my sneaky little brother will do."
