The phone kept ringing nonstop but Brandon had no intention of picking it up as he made out with Caitlin. It had been a long night for him, he had a fight with his wife Amber, now she was blowing up his phone desperate to know where he was. As the phone kept ringing, Caitlin tried to pull away from Brandon.

"Your wife's calling," Caitlyn said pointing to his phone, "it could be important."

"Whatever it is, it can wait." Brandon said pulling Caitlin closer to himself and continued to kiss her, "the only thing important to me at this moment is you and nothing else."

"But…" Caitlin started but Brandon cut her short. "No buts, please don't ruin the moment" he said and went on kissing her.

Brandon Swift was born into wealth, the son of renowned businessman Freddy Swift. Freddy was the CEO of Swift Transnational Holdings, a company that specialized in real estate development, oil and shipping, commodities trading, biotechnology, investment banking, and private equity. The company's global reach made it a force to be reckoned with in the business world, and Brandon was groomed from an early age to follow in his father's footsteps. From a young age, Brandon was tutored by his father in the art of business. Freddy, his dad took him to meetings, introduced him to colleagues and taught him the tricks of the trade. By the time he was a teenager, Brandon had was already adept at reading financial reports, analysing stock trends and making shrewd investment decisions.

Growing up, aside from spending a lot time with his father attending business meetings together, he also spent alot of time with his maternal grandfather, Sebastian Rockwell. Rockwell was a retired business man, he was once a director of Halifax Holdings, a company that specialized in Investment Banking and Private Equity. His daughter Anne was married to Freddie Swift and Brandon was their only child. Brandon always looked forward to meeting his grandfather, and in turn his grandfather taught him a lot of things, like how to answer crossword puzzles, entrepreneurship and philanthropy. Rockwell was a well known philanthropist who donated millions every year to charity.

One winter morning, Cassandra, the maid who worked for Mr. Rockwell, knocked on his door. She waited for a response but heard nothing. So she knocked again, but still no reply. She tried the door and found it unlocked, which seemed odd. Mr. Rockwell was a very private man and always kept his door locked. She entered the room and called out to him, but there was no response. She went over to Mr. Rockwell and touched his arm. He was completely still. She tried to find a pulse, but there was none. She felt a chill run down her spine. Something was terribly wrong. Panicking, she called Mrs. Swift, his daughter to break the sad news.

After Sebastian Rockwell's death, his grandson Brandon was devastated. He had loved his grandfather deeply, and could not imagine his life without him. Brandon decided to live by all the lessons his grandfather had taught him. In his will, Sebastian had left all his estate to Brandon, and appointed Brandon's mother as trustee until he came of age. Brandon was determined to make his grandfather proud and to be a man worthy of his legacy. Although he knew it would be hard without his grandfather's guiding presence, he felt determined to make the most of his life.

In his final year of high school, Brandon was named valedictorian - the top student in his class. He was celebrated at the school's awards ceremony, where the principal praised his outstanding academic performance. He had scored top marks in all of his subjects, far exceeding the average student. This achievement caught the attention of the town's mayor, who had heard about Brandon's excellent grades. The mayor decided to honor Brandon for his academic success. Some people in the town began to gossip that the mayor was giving special treatment to the son of his friend, who was Brandon's father. To address the rumors, the mayor held a press conference at his office. He explained that the purpose of honoring Brandon was to celebrate academic excellence, and that he hoped to encourage all the students in the town to work hard in their studies. He stressed that this had nothing to do with any personal connections, and that the decision was based solely on merit. This put the rumors to rest, and the town's residents continued to celebrate Brandon's achievement. Brandon was proud to have received this honor, and it motivated him to continue working hard in his future endeavors.
