Chapter One

The messenger delivered the letter in person's hands, he had strict instructions on this matter. Alexander waited for the courier to leave, and then stared out the window for a long time. He knew at once who the news was from. It was his real father, who reminded of himself after so many years. That I didn't even want to remember about him. Only contempt remained.

He remembered himself as a boy and all the humiliation that made him cringe. It was quite difficult for him to understand then why he was being treated like this. It seemed that he was just an outcast, and adults were mired in their dirty and shameless intrigues. No one paid attention to him. This killed him the most. The indifference of parents trying to prove to each other that someone needs them. Only Sasha turned out to be of no use to anyone in the end.

Now he is the owner of an advertising business, renting an office in one of the most prestigious business centers. And life seems to have been a success for him. Now he is rich and successful in his affairs. His original marketing method of work brought him satisfaction both in business and in life. He has what you can only dream of and a luxurious house on the outskirts of Moscow, a luxury car. True, there is no yacht, but this is a matter of time and desire.

His mother shone in elite society among many influential and wealthy men. They spared no expense to this woman's whim. So, Sasha studied in prestigious institutions and did not interfere with his mother's free life full of stormy romances. And so he couldn't even imagine who was who. Who is his real father.

But this is all in the past. And it simply makes no sense for Sergei Vasiliev to provide any help. Since Alexander has already established himself as a person and a businessman. Not only did he reject him as a son, but he was also furiously indignant when Nicholas wanted to see him.

Do you think I'll believe you're my son? Don't even count on my help. 

After such an impudent attitude, Alexander calmly said:

I don't need anything, I wanted to see you. Moreover, I have a different surname.

They were very similar, even with the naked eye you could see their similarity. Heavy look, brown hair, brown eyes, facial features, dimple on the chin. His tall stature and physique clearly betrayed genetic similarity.

Suddenly the phone rang. It was his mother, he smiled, somehow everything happens abruptly in one moment.

"Yes, mother.

"Son, this is very important. It is necessary to talk urgently.

"I'm listening.

"No, you don't understand, this is not a telephone conversation. We need to meet. I received a letter.

And me, Alexander said with hatred.

"Yes, and I thought to surprise you, well, it's not scary. You see, Sergey was your true father. And everything is so unexpected. He was not yet sixty. He was so cheerful and full of energy. Suddenly he was gone.

Alexander's heart sank, although he practically did not know his father, but he was sad. And this letter is a message from the other world.

"You know, he left me a necklace with diamonds, it's so cute that it reminds me of the Renaissance era. 

Expensive gifts were the price of a night out with his mother. Therefore, for her, luxurious things were like a rite after her stormy romances. Although she did not consider herself a whore. For her, the new man was just a fish caught in a secular pond.

In addition to her official marriages, there were flirts, which were a test of the pen. And what if you are lucky to find even richer and more solid. It was a kind of Catch the Millionaire game. To be honest, she was not going to marry Sergei Vasiliev. It was a fatal accident. Her future husband was a famous chess player, and they were going to leave for America after the wedding.

And Sergey was a handsome and handsome but simple mining engineer. Who knew that he would become one of the co-owners of a diamond mining company. Anna clung to the world champion with a death grip and hoped for a prosperous life. But alas, this marriage turned out to be unsuccessful and broke up due to the bankruptcy of her husband. Everything he earned on the world stage; he invested in business and went bankrupt in all respects. As a result, he went abroad and drank useless there and ended up homeless in Manhattan.

Anna played a double game and her lies did not end well. If she hadn't hidden her pregnancy, then the turn of events could have been different. Perhaps Vasiliev would have recognized his son. But the spoiled Anna did not want to go with him to the permafrost at all.

You can ask your mother, was the reply.

What's my fault if you fall out of love with her? Sasha was indignant, "After all, you are my father.

"No, not yours, it's your mother's inventions.

You don't know it yourself, but you have another family, but that doesn't mean you don't have me, Sasha said offended.

True, there was a difference, of course, but this is taking into account the appearance of matter.

You just don't need me? Sasha did not give up, realizing the piquancy of the whole situation.

Why did someone else's bastard surrender to me? Your dad went to America and got drunk there and spends the night in the garbage. A genius not recognized. Alekhine pretended to be a freak. You can go to him and buy a hamburger. Although there are garbage cans like in our cheap canteen. Vasiliev burst into wild laughter.

And little Sasha ran to his mother with tears.

"I am very sorry that Sergey is not your father, but you will soon have a new stepfather. I'm so sorry that this happened to your father. But America
