Becoming A Billionaire Novels & Stories

“He talked to the ship’s captain. Luckily, the man was kind—he helped my dad instead of taking advantage of him. Without him, Dad wouldn’t be who he is now.” “Where is he now?” “He passed away five years ago.” I fell silent. His father was old, after all. At least he lived long enough to see everything he built. “But still,” I continued softly, “how did he become a billionaire? Even with the captain’s help, a lottery win only makes you a millionaire.” “True. But Dad was a college graduate before all that. You wouldn’t notice it from how humble he acts, but he’s incredibly smart. He reinvested almost everything into studying more—learning about what fascinated him most…”

“And this has to do with me?” “I want you to marry me.” The café seemed to tilt. She laughed. Loudly. “That’s insane.” He reached into his coat and placed a folded document on the table. A check. Her laughter died. The amount made her dizzy. Half a million dollars. “I’ll cover your mother’s medical bills,” he said. “All of them. Immediately. The rest is yours.” Her hands trembled. “You don’t even know me.” “I don’t need to.” “That’s supposed to convince me?”

The backdrop was just a set. Yes, I must be right. With what little dignity I had left as a working-class person, I convinced myself to believe my theory. However, there was this tiny voice in my head. What if he was telling the truth? What if he were a billionaire? Where would that put me?

“It’s a long story, but basically… when I left Avanguard five years ago, I didn’t just run and hide. I had to survive. I used the money you sent me before everything fell apart to get started in a new country. I finished my degree there, but I also started building something of my own. A tech consulting company at first, helping small businesses with security systems, apps, that kind of thing. It grew faster than I ever expected. Within a couple of years, it expanded into bigger contracts, investments, partnerships. Now… I’m a billionaire, Daniel. On paper, at least. I own the company outright and have major stakes in several others.” Daniel’s eyes widened, genuine surprise flashing across h

“But stop trying to change the subject. This is about us. I want you to answer me with a straight face.” I rolled my eyes. “You were always hellbent on not caring about other people’s ideas.” “Oh come on. You already know I love listening to people’s ideas.” I shrugged and waved her on. “What was the question again?” “It wasn’t really a question. It was more about how you’ve become a billionaire.” I laughed, rubbing the back of my neck. “Well, it didn’t happen overnight. A lot of hard work, a lot of sleepless nights. You know how it is.”

But he’d earned it, every damn dollar. Born to nothing and raised in a two-bedroom apartment with a mother who worked three jobs. He started coding at thirteen and by nineteen, he’d built a start-up in his dorm room. By twenty-two, he sold it to a global tech firm for eighty million. And then he got greedy...in a smart way. Investments, real estate, patents, security software. He saw holes in the market and plugged them before anyone else could and the moment he made his first hundred million, he learned the secret to keeping it.

She said as I sighed deeply. "But then, what would it take to qualify to be the heir". I ask her although I'm not interested in being the Heir to the Black family. I just wanted to know that's all. "Her condition was easy and tasking though, it was stated by her that the first person to get a Billion dollars business could be the Heir". She said as I bit my lips. What if I compete with them? I'm most likely going to be chosen as the Heir to the Black family business.

After placing their order, the little boy had not forgotten what she had said. “Aunt, quickly tell me! What does the richest person look like?” “Why are you so curious to know? ” “Because I want to be the richest person in the future.” The little boy looked ambitious. Tania was not able to hold back her laughter. “You’re still just a little bean!” “Aunt, are you looking down on me? I’m telling you the truth. I’m going to make lots and lots of money in the future. I’m not going to let mommy work hard anymore.”

"At first, he doesn't want all of our companies and businesses. He wants to start all on his own, you know. He doesn't want our help." He stopped talking to sip on his coffee. I don't know what to say, so I just remained standing in front of him, listening to him. "He actually did it. He became a billionaire at the age of 20. Imagine that? He was just 20 years old when he became a billionaire." He sighed as he shook his head a little. "And now that he's 22, he's learning how to run our whole empire. I'm so proud of my son." His voice broke.

"Don't let his confession manipulate you now, Penny! And don't forget he is a man with the biggest empire and wealth in Bloomcrest. He can buy all the moons on Saturn if he wills to and you're saying he was tricked by Zara?" Penny's lips parted but no words came out. Her friend wasn't wrong with her observation. "Come on, Penny, both of us know that it takes both brains and in-depth research to become a billionaire businessman. Hunter is one of the youngest and richest businessmen around the globe. You can't justify him saying that he was manipulated!"
