Chapter 1

Author's POV 

At Rodgers Villa

The big dining table was filled with different types of delicious food. 

Old master rodgers was sitting in the head chair. His grandson was sitting two chair away. 

"I want you to settle down. I want grandchildren" Old master Rodgers demanded.

Duke put down the chopsticks hearing the meaningless demand of his grandfather. 

"I have no plan of settling down, grandpa. I don't see any benefits of it" 

Duke picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Old master Rodgers felt like hitting his grandson's head until he came back to his sense. 

"You are already 26, Duke. How long do you want to remain single? Don't you think you are being disobedient now? Do you really want me to die before seeing my great-grandchildren, you brat?" Old master Rodgers said coldly. He was already eighty five years old but still healthy and strong.

"Grandpa, I am doing fine. I really don't see any use of getting married" Duke said again. 

"Some rumours are floating in the air" Old master Rodgers burst the balloon at last which has started bothering him and Duke sighed. He knew what rumours his grandfather was talking about. 

"From when did you start believing in those nonsense grandpa. I think you have so much free time in your hand. Why don't you go on a world tour? If you want I can make the arrangements" Duke said to him as he knew his grandfather loved travelling. 

"You brat, don't change the topic. Are you trying to kick me out of the country? Everyone is saying you are a gay" Mr. Rodgers burst the balloon at last. 

Duke ignored it and kept eating. His full attention was on the food although to him food is something you need to eat to survive. He never gets how someone can enjoy it too. 

Old master became more angry when he saw the relax expression on his grandson's face. 

"Duke Rodgers, if this turns out to be true, then I will kick you out of my company. Don't forget you have only the power of attorney on your hand while I have the original right" Mr. Rodgers said more like threatening him.

Duke put down his chopsticks and looked at him.

"Stay calm grandpa. I am not such a thing. And about this company, I don't think you will get any advantage after kicking me out of it. I don't think your old brain still have the ability to run it" Duke said 

"This brat! How dare you insult your grandpa? Okay, I admit you are running the company better than me and your dad but don't forget I am your grandfather" Old master Rodgers said being offended by his words. 

"Grandpa I don't want to get married now. Do you want me to do anything else?" Duke asked.

"Alright then. Give me a grandson. You don't want to have a wife but no harm to have a girlfriend. I am giving you one year, Duke. If you don't obey my words, I will shift into the old homes and I will never allow you to see me" Mr. Rodgers threatened him using his weak point. He knew his grandson loved him madly. And he will never let this happen. 

Hearing this, Duke's eyes darkened. He knew his grandpa was doing this because he knew he would never let this happen. 

"You will get the result soon" Duke, said and wiped her mouth. 

Hearing this, Mr. Rodgers's eyes lit up. 

"Really?" He exclaimed with joy like a kid.

Duke shook his head and left from there.

"Don't go back from your words" Mr. Rodgers shouted from back. 

"Cody, give me a glass of wine. It is celebration time. At last he agreed" Mr. Rodgers said to his caretaker whom Duke appointed personally. 

Cody made sad face. 

"Old master, you hit me several times when I gave you this idea. Now see it actually worked." Cody said 

Actually, it was him who gave this idea to him. After hearing this, Mr. Rodgers hits him as he said he would shift into old homes. 

"Don't ruin my mood. Give me the glass." Mr. Rodgers said. 

"I am sorry sir. I can't do this. Young master strictly prohibited me to give you wine. Young master said your old health cannot bear the wine" Cody said.

Hearing this, Mr. Rodgers frowned. 

That fool. How dare he call me old?

"You are my caretaker not his. Obey my words not his. Now bring the wine" Mr. Rodgers said 

"Sir, of course I am your caretaker not his but young master pays me. And also there are hundreds of CCTV camera in this villa. Young master observed it everyday to know your activities. If he finds out about the wine, he will drag me to the hell. So, if you want I can give you juice only" Cody said being nervous 

"Forget it. I need to take care of my body because my great grandson is coming soon. I need to keep my body fit to play with him" Mr. Rodgers, said and left from there. 

Cody followed him helplessly. After working for him for the last five years he found out one thing that all Rodgers were hell stubborn. They had their own ways to makes people listen to them. And they loved to be dominant. 

"Cody, you have to do one thing" Mr. Rodgers said 

"What is it, sir?" Cody asked 

"Hire someone to keep two sharp eyes on Duke. I want to know he takes my words seriously or not" Mr. Rodgers said and put gloves, then started cleaning his beloved late wife's favourite garden. 

Hearing this, Cody gulped in fear like someone put him in a cage with a hungry lion. 

"Sir, who will dare to enter the lion den? Also, the young master has bodyguards who kill first then doubts at someone. No man can reach young master with ill intention" Cody handover the water jar. 

"Sometimes I wonder is he really my grandson?" Mr. Rodgers wondered thinking about their old habits being charming playboy. 

"Sir, should I investigate the young master's birth?" Cody asked him out of blue. 

Mr. Rodgers's eyes darkened after hearing this. He looked at Cody with a murderous look which snatched the color of Cody's face. If looks could kill someone, he would be dead by now. 

"Got a dead wish, I see" Old master Rodgers glared at him with his sharp eyes. 

"Sir, I forgot to bring your phone. I am going to bring it" Saying this, he ran off like a wolf was chasing him.
