CHAPTER TEN
The man sat in the drivers seat,started the engine, and drove off instantly.
The Lamborghini drove for several minutes and finally pulled over in a beautiful compound. Perry opened the door and stepped out of the car. He glanced around the place with his jaw dropped after scoping the landscape littered with expensive cars packed around every corner of the compound
"This way please." The man dressed in black suit spoke in a respectful tone as he began to lead Perry to the entrance door of the mansion,the man pushed the door open as he gestured Perry to walk in. Perry Stood there for some seconds before walking into the mansion.
Entering the mansion, Perry glanced around the place with a look of awe. The mansion was far better than that of the Miguel's family.
While glancing around the place Perry caught a glimpse of Mr. Jacob Salvador sitting alone on a sofa.
"Oh, at last Welcome, son ." Mr Jacob greeted with a smile.
Hearing the words of Mr jacob, Perry's expression darkened as he made his way towards him in anger and clenched face.
"Why do you keep calling me that, I told you it is not possible"Perry voiced out in anger.
"That's because I am truly your Father, Perry." Mr Jacob responded with a smile.
"How is that even possible?" Perry voiced.
"Have a seat, Perry. I shall explain it all to you"Mr jacob spoke pointing towards an empty couch.
Perry glanced at the couch for a few seconds before walking towards it and having a sit.
"Okay but I'm not saying I believe you, let's hear what you have to say so I can get going" Perry said as he sat on the couch he was offered.
"Why are you in a hurry?Most people in your situation would be jumping for joy when they hear I'm their father,"Mr Jacob said.
"I'm m not like them, I am a honest man" Perry said in a low tone.
"It was a long time ago, your mother died when giving birth to you at the hospital that is why you can't see her around.
Unknowing to me my house keeper also gave birth the same day my wife gave birth. So they plotted behind my back with the nurses to swap the children together so the wretched housekeeper's son can enjoy the wealth while my real son suffered in poverty and I was not aware of that, so i took care of the little boy I thought was mine who i gave some riches to and later discovered the house keeper had left with her child, i thought it was her child not knowing it was mine that she swapped. After some years i did a DNA test on my son only to find out he wasn't my son so i went back to the hospital to sue them for swapping my child and they confessed and since then i have been searching for you not until i met you in Mr Miguel's house" Mr Jacob Salvador said with sadness in his eyes.
Perry sat in silence for several minutes as he struggled to digest Mr Jacob's words. The whole thing sounded surreal and he struggled to believe it was actually true.
"So you're telling me I'm from a rich family or what?" Perry questioned, still in disbelief.
"Yes Perry, you are." Mr Jacob responded with a smile.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" So you're trying to say I am from a rich family and I have been here suffering my whole life, is that what you are trying to say?" Perry voiced out,his face bright red in anger.
"Pls understand Perry it wasn't intentional, we had no idea where you were. We searched tirelessly and endlessly for you all to no avail."Mr jacob explained.
Perry sat in silence once more. He had thought his family died years ago since he grew up in a foster home and his foster parents also told him his real parents were dead.
But as it turns out, his father was very much alive,and also one of the richest people in the country.
"What about the house keeper that swapped me for her child?" Perry asked, looking angry.
"We later got to find out that she died"Mr Jacob said.
"I know you have been through a lot in life due to the unfortunate events that deprived you of the good life you were supposed to live and won't still believe me that I am your father.
I'll give you a token that might make you believe." Saying those words Mr Jacob took out his phone and typed away on it for few seconds.
Seconds after Mr Jacob finished typing, Perry's phone chimed in his pocket causing him to take it out and glance at the screen.
Catching a glimpse of the screen, Perry's eyes widened in shock.
"Five Hundred million dollars" Perry exclaimed in shock and disbelief.
"Yes Perry that is just the tip of an iceberg, use the money to get yourself a few things and when you are ready you can return back to the main family mansion to reclaim your rightful position as the family heir.
Perry sat down in disbelief, glancing at his screen every now and then, to make sure what he was seeing was actually real and wasn't hallucinating.
Five Hundred million dollars! He pinched himself to ensure he wasn't dreaming ....
It was actually real. Five whooping Hundred million dollars. His father gave him to rebuild his life before taking over as his heir.
Glancing at the amount, Perry wondered how the Miguel family would feel if they knew he now had Five hundred million in his account and was actually the son of the owner of the company they worked under.
"I honestly don't know what to say, but thank you father, but we will still need to get a DNA test." Perry finally spoke up after a few minutes of silence.
"Of course we will," Mr Jacob replied with a smile.
One particular question came to Perry's mind to ask Mr Jacob.
"So father, what is the boy's name I was swapped for at the hospital and you've been taking care of him?" Perry said curiously.
"I believe you might have met him, the boy's name is Shawn Pane" Mr Jacob said with a solemn look.
"What!, that Wicked man?, I guess it is time I pay him back" Perry said angrily before letting out an evil grin.
