Talentless Owner Novels & Stories

“You said your business.” “I did,” Talen took a sip of his wine. “You’re not an employee of Zeus,” Rhett pressed. Heath had turned in order to look at Talen. “You own Zeus.” Talen lifted an eyebrow. “You are only just realizing this?” “Well, shit,” Cameron said slowly. “I thought that Zeus was owned by the Concordia royal family.” “I am one of the owners of Zeus,” Talen replied. “And I was a member of the Concordia royal family, but they do not own Zeus or myself.”

" You know that you do not own this company, do you?" Zara had a smug smile on her face as if she was gloating to Nelly who seemed like she was not aware of her employment. Nelly on the other hand was quite shocked and could not believe that her cousin was now working at the same company as her. The other party was not talented at all and did not have what it took to be considered for employment at Electrotainment, so how could the Human resources department hire such a person like Zara who had no qualifications at all.

My best friend worked as a bartender in one of the casinos. Even though it was a famous name, the current owner barely attended any interviews or showed his face in front of the paparazzi, which was why I couldn't recognize him at first. Besides, his surname was Storm, which meant he was the son of the richest man in the United States, Mr. Tansen Storm, who was the previous owner of Berserkers and Storm Dynamics, one of the top armament companies in the world. "That sums up everything," I blurted out, not realizing I had said that aloud.

She found a few articles about him, describing him as a successful entrepreneur who had built his fortune from the ground up. Sarah was impressed by his achievements, but what really caught her attention was his personal life. He was notoriously private and had never been photographed with a significant other. Sarah wondered if he was single, and if he was, if he might be interested in her. The thought made her heart race, but she quickly dismissed it. She didn't even know the man, after all. It was just a silly fantasy. The next day at work, Sarah was surprised to see the hotel owner waiting for her at the front desk. Her heart skipped a beat as he flashed her a dazzling smile.

“Sir… Ms. Rainee Garcia applied to our company, but she doesn’t know you’re the new owner.” He smirked. Recently, he had bought shares of a company that was suffering losses, but he believed it had potential, they just didn’t know how to do business. He saw the future of this company if he became the owner, so he bought all the shares. The owner gladly sold them, as he was drowning in debt. Yesterday, he signed the papers with the owner, and they hadn’t announced it publicly yet. So, no one knew that Alex Fraser was now the owner of the company.

The room filled with light. --- Her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She reached for it, glanced at the screen. Her face changed. "What is it?" he asked. She turned the phone so he could see. Unknown number. I've been watching your work for years. The "Horizons" series is your best yet. I'm not a collector. I'm a gallery owner. I want to represent you exclusively. But first, I need to know: are you ready to be seen? Elena stared at the screen. Then she looked at Alexander.

“Oh, you don’t know?” He took a step closer. “Your father—Alessandro Corsetti—borrowed two hundred million dollars from our boss. He said he’d pay it back in a year.” Her mouth went dry. “That’s not possible,” she said, shaking her head. “That’s… that’s an insane amount of money.” “He promised he’d repay every cent,” the man continued, “and to make sure he wouldn’t run off, he used you as collateral.” The world tilted. “No. No, that’s not true. He wouldn’t do that. Not my father.”

She felt perfect there, her weight light against my legs. "Look at this," I said, pointing to the screen. I opened a series of bank accounts and property files. "This one here? This is an account in your name. Alaric set it up the day we brought you home. And these three houses? They’re yours too. One in the mountains, two by the ocean." Elena stared at the numbers on the screen. Her eyes went wide. "Silas... this is too much. I don't even know how to spend this kind of money."

From people who always planned to ruin me in several ways. "I don't know yet. No information about him had been disclosed to anyone. His name is not even whispered among the executive directors." Disappointment laced in her eyes for not being able to give me the information. She always felt that way whenever she couldn't. "But I heard he's extremely wealthy. Even wealthier than the previous owners joined together." I wasn't surprised. For someone to have bought the studio in just 24 hours, he had to possess unimaginable wealth. "But I also heard he is a tough one. Not someone you'd want to cross. The meek ones are already afraid he might fire anyone he deems incompetent."
