I Inherited Trillions, Now What?

Without missing a beat, Everlyn continued.

"Then we have Noah Dantana Tinubu, the only son and heir to the Tinubu dynasty—one of the wealthiest and most politically entrenched families in Nigeria. Noah is spoilt beyond measure. The Tinubus are a powerful lineage with deep roots in both the southwestern and northern regions of the country, their influence spanning decades. They are, without question, the biggest oil barons in Africa, their wealth built on vast reserves, government contracts, and an intricate web of business dealings that have ensured their dominance in the industry."

She took a measured breath before continuing. "But their power does not end with wealth. The Tinubu family has long mastered the art of political control, shaping Nigeria's leadership from the shadows. For years, they have installed governors, controlled political appointments, and brokered deals that have kept Lagos—the country's economic powerhouse—firmly in their grip. They are known as the 'Godfathers of Lagos,' having handpicked every governor of the state since Nigeria gained independence. Their reach extends far beyond the borders of Lagos, influencing national policies and cementing their place among Africa's most powerful elites."

Her voice remained steady, factual, as she pressed on. "Noah's father, the current head of the family, has spent years cultivating a political legacy, placing allies in key government positions, and ensuring that the family's name remains synonymous with both power and wealth. But this year marks a turning point—after decades of operating behind the scenes, he is finally making his move for the highest office in the land. For the first time, a Tinubu is poised to sit in the presidential seat, a position that would solidify not only their political dynasty but also their hold on Nigeria's future."

She let the weight of those words settle before adding, "Their wealth is staggering, their connections untouchable, and their reputation—both feared and respected. But with power comes controversy, and the Tinubu name has been linked to more than its fair share of corruption, backdoor dealings, and whispered scandals. Yet, none of it has ever been enough to bring them down. If anything, it has only strengthened their grip, proving that in Nigeria, money and influence are the ultimate currency."

Everlyn took a brief pause before moving on to the next name on the list.

"Next, we have Paul Orsini. Unlike the last name on the list, the Orsini family does not flaunt their power—they do not need to. Their influence is not measured in wealth alone, though they control vast fortunes through their banking empire. The Orsinis are one of the oldest and most secretive aristocratic families in Europe, their legacy stretching back centuries. While their name rarely makes the headlines, those who understand power know that they do not merely shape economies—they shape history itself."

She leaned slightly forward, her tone unwavering. "Officially, the Orsinis are a prominent Italian banking family, their wealth spanning generations. But behind the scenes, they are far more than that. At the heart of their dynasty lies an ancient role—the Shadow Papacy. Paul's father, Lorenzo Orsini, is the current Red Pope, a title whispered about in elite circles but never acknowledged publicly. He is the true power behind the Vatican, controlling decisions that go beyond religion and seep into global politics, finance, and governance. While the world focuses on elected leaders, it is men like Lorenzo Orsini who pull the strings, ensuring that their family's will is carried out across continents."

Everlyn barely paused before pressing on. "The Orsinis do not simply stand among Europe's elite—they rule from the shadows. Families such as the Rothschilds, the Habsburgs, and other powerful dynasties are nothing more than branch families, their influence stemming from the Orsini lineage. Yet, the Orsini name is not given lightly. Only the head of the family and his direct heir are permitted to bear it, a tradition that has ensured the bloodline remains pure and undisputed."

"Paul Orsini, as the sole heir to this vast empire, carries his name with an effortless grace. Unlike his father, who is rarely seen in public, Paul is a known figure among Europe's elite—polite, well-mannered, and impeccably composed. He is respected for his intelligence and admired for his cool, detached demeanor. While he does not wield his family's power recklessly, those who have crossed paths with him understand that behind his quiet exterior lies a mind shaped by centuries of control, strategy, and precision."

Everlyn continued, "His mother, Isabella Rothschild, passed away years ago, leaving him to be raised solely by his father—a man who believes in legacy above all else. Paul was not just born into power; he was trained for it. The world may see him as a refined and charming young man, but those who know the Orsini legacy understand one truth: his kindness is a choice, his loyalty is absolute, and his power, though veiled, is beyond measure."

As Everlyn finished reading out the names, Alexander, who had already heard all he needed, gave a simple nod. "Good."

But before he could end the conversation, Everlyn continued, her voice unwavering.

"Then there is Caroline Blackwell, 15 years of age. She is the granddaughter of financial tycoon Cassius Blackwell. The Blackwells may be a relatively new family in the global financial sphere, but publicly, they are recognized as the wealthiest in the world. Caroline is, as of now, the only heir to the family's current head—Alexander Blackwell, her father. She was born when he was still young, her mother being Sus—"

"Stop."

Alexander's voice was sharp, cutting through the cabin's low hum. Everlyn paused, glancing at him. He was staring at her, his expression unreadable.

"Was that necessary?" he asked, his voice controlled but firm.

Everlyn met his gaze with an almost sarcastic tilt of her head. "Sir, you said all the Montgomery kids. I was just following directives."

Alexander sighed, rubbing his temple. "It's all good, Everlyn." He leaned back in his seat before adding, "We're in the air now. You can excuse yourself—I have something to think about."

Everlyn lingered for a moment before nodding. "Okay then, sir. If you need me, I'll be right outside." With that, she turned and left the private office, closing the door behind her.

Alexander sat there in silence, staring at the spot where she had stood just moments ago. He knew she was growing frustrated—frustrated with the way he had been sidelining her, keeping her out of certain matters. But he had his reasons. Before everything unfolded, he needed to be sure where loyalties truly lay.

He sighed again, his fingers tapping lightly against the armrest. His mind replayed all the information he had just received, but amidst the flood of details, one thought stood out:

He should come.

Alexander exhaled deeply, feeling a rare wave of exhaustion settle over him. He had planned every move carefully, but the one thing he needed now was certainty. He needed to meet him. And just as importantly, he needed to have a conversation with his daughter. Caroline had to be prepared—he refused to let her be caught off guard when everything started.

As he closed his eyes, resting his head against the seat, he could only hope that everything went according to plan.

Meanwhile, at an airport…

A sleek, high-end terminal bustled with quiet efficiency. In the exclusive first-class lounge, a woman stood near the boarding gate, her expression composed yet unreadable.

"Miss Susan Beaumont," a flight attendant announced smoothly, "your flight to Switzerland is now boarding."
