Chapter 319: Power Abhors A Vacuum

I know that. What is the big news that brought three women from almost halfway around the world to my house?

Camden’s eyes went wide when she heard the three girls speaking the variant of the Elder’s language the families used to have a common language. Camden didn’t know it. I did and needed to be very careful in how I joined the conversation.

“What language are you speaking? I seem to be able to pick up spoken languages easily from hearing them, but I don’t think I’ve heard that one before. I heard many repeated sounds that I can guess are common words like they, and, if, or, and similar words from English. Some words seem that they may be some in a book an old language professor at a university asked me to try to read,” I asked.

Skylar, who was on my left, typed in something into her phone and had Giggle start translating it two seconds before she was in my lap with her face buried in my shoulder as she cried.

I’m getting better at dealing with girls and women crying on my shoulder.

As I held her tightly to me and rubbed her back, the translation said, “It is the language the man, who we called the Elder, required all the families to speak when we were meeting together, such as during our annual Spring vacations. It is an old one from his family that only those in the inner circle learn. We all got an automatic email message from Darren moments before his death. Darren put his phone in the pocket of the Elder’s bodyguard when he threw him to safety. It listed everyone who remained in the conference chamber. The floor of the room dropped into the lava that rose from below. He apologized for not saving himself, but it was his responsibility to do what he could to save anyone he could until he wasn’t able to do so any longer.”

The translation stopped there.

Mary and Corwin filled in a lot of details for my parents, which lined up with what Terrance and his sister’s told them. The girls went in much more in-depth, though. My parents got to find out the full details of what the various families were involved in, where the girls fit in the pecking order, and how the changes Darren suggested had taken their families off hit lists around the globe. All three girls ensured that none of them had any parts of their families earning income from businesses that would put them back on the radar of any nation. Sure they had some involvements with drugs, guns, and other things the various governments tolerated in exchange for their families paying taxes on the sales.

“Should I choose to believe that such a powerful group of elite people exist, wouldn’t telling us put us in mortal danger,” mom asked.

Skylar pulled back, sniffled, and began using Giggle translates to say, “Darren may have perished, but many of the world’s elite mercenaries own him their lives, which he was fully within his rights to end when they tried to capture him. When Darren came to get Terrance’s dad, he had these mercenaries set up to ensure David’s safety because of their nearly similar appearance.”

“We have done DNA testing when trying to find Darren. We proved that he and David only share a similar appearance and not a familial tie. Darren wanted to ensure that if there ever was a need for Skylar, Camden, Corwin, and I to have a safe place to hide for a while, it would be here,” Mary’s phone said.

The four girls looked between each other before electing Camden to explain more.

“It goes beyond Darren finding out that he had a doppelganger. The daughter and owner of the resort where David stayed briefly vouched for David. It was explained that David is an amazingly considerate and all-around great guy. He knew he could trust Darren, so we know we can trust him,” Camden explained.

She had to pause for Tee to crawl up to be on my one knee and Dee the other after Skylar moved away to give up my lap. They laid their heads on my chest and were back to sleep as soon I put my arms around them to hold me.

Camden continued to say, “As if I need any more proof than that. My twin sister and brother will only allow Bambi to hold them, but only when they all three sleep together. They loved Darren, and yet never went to crawl up in his lap. If they weren’t my siblings, I wouldn’t think twice about them being his children or at least siblings. Each year the heads of the families meet in a heavily secured location to pay the one in charge, who was Darren, his cut of their gross income. The wealth Darren inherited when his parents died in a plane crash was already worth in the hundreds of billions of US dollars. My aunt and uncle rescued him from the boarding school, where his parents sent him when very young. With someone back at the helm, his wealth doubled each year since. With the wire transfers from the families for his cut, he is easily worth close to a trillion dollars. Corwin’s, Skylar’s, and Mary’s families paid over a hundred million dollars each, and they not in the top twenty-five percent of the highest income generating families. Per his instructions, which none of the families will question, even though he is dead, is that his wealth transfers to David. Darren didn’t need it, Skylar, Corwin, and Mary don’t need it either. He wanted to give it to someone outside of that elite world to keep it from being used to just increase the power of one family over the others.”

“Fuck,” dad said, which mom automatically replied, “Not tonight, dear, we will both be having headaches soon.”

Mom then asked, “So let me get this straight, this Darren guy was worth over a trillion dollars and gave that all to David out of the blue? I find that very hard to believe.”

“Why me? Wouldn’t he split it between the four of you if you four are so close?” I asked the girls.

“As he was the heir apparent for Corwin, Skylar, and Mary’s families, to become the head of each family when their fathers died. All this happened before the Elder placed Darren as the head of all the families. Each of the girl’s family empires transferred to Darren at the time of their father’s death. Darren dying make them the heiresses of their family. It was a man’s world, and they are women, so Darren was to be the male face to represent their family when those with whom the family did business wouldn’t respect a woman. Those families in the elite world knew that the girls were in charge ever since they were old enough for the heads of families to fear them. They scared the hell out of the Elder. They don’t need his wealth. We only await the families to confirm the heads of families who still live for them to be officially the joint head of all families,” Camden explained. “While I was close with Darren, and I attend the annual Spring vacations, I am just a guest of my Uncle Al and Aunt Sue. These powerful families accept me as a visitor into their world temporarily, but would never permit me to be one of them, not even if Darren declared it to be so. He was my cousin, not a sibling. My parents, sisters, brothers, and I each now have a very sizable bank account that will ensure we never need to worry about how we will be able to live comfortably for the rest of our lives.”

Corwin pulled a stack of papers from her bag that she handed to mom and dad. They showed that when his automated emails went out, the three girl’s families bought all of Darren’s businesses, except for the real estate he owned around the world, including mansions or penthouse suites in every major city in the world. He even had a palace in Saudi Arabia and two on Egypt. A quick check on my computer showed that the sales of all properties to the girls were completed while they flew here. Darren’s demise triggered an automatic process. He had over a trillion US dollars in cash spread out in banks all over the world. A secure email came in that detailed the money, gold, platinum, and diamonds in the safes in each house. I got a second email with every resort, restaurant, golf course, cruise ship, and other high-revenue earning property and asset that had no ties to the elite families. The elite families never knew that Darren owned them.

They couldn’t know since the man-in-the-machine juggled around Darren’s assets to buy them using shell companies.

“You don’t have to live in this tiny house any longer,” Mary said through her Giggle translator.

I replied, “Why would I move? I like it here, and some people did a lot of work to renovate it for me, my parents, and my siblings.”

Beca added, “You can at least buy yourself any car you want, even the exotic sports cars.”

“I don’t want exotic sports cars, and my cars are both amazing,” I explained. “Some people around here could total a bulldozer driving across a perfectly flat piece of land. My car looks like a piece of shit, so not even those who have cars held together with duct tape and rivets will park near me. They don’t have a clue that the person who gave it to me used the dented, rusting metal to hide the reinforced titanium alloy body, frame, and panels inside the doors. The engine doesn’t even run unless the batteries are below a quarter percent charge, then it powers the electric motors directly while quick-charging the battery pack. They hid it all inside the factory engine and transmission housing. I have a Maserati in the garage. The people from the high-performance driving school had a client who wanted the Lotus Exige they gave me to keep my skills fresh. The man had various exotic cars on the truck he brought to trade for the Lotus, but the Maserati is practical. I can go to his school and drive the exotics where I can open then up.”

“Wow. Darren did that for you,” Terrance asked.

“No. It was someone around here,” I said. “I don’t know who exactly.”

It surprised the hell out of Terrance when Corwin, Skylar, and Mary insisted on clearing the table.

“Tee and Dee stink,” Camden declared. “They need a bath. Bambi can probably stand under the water in the shower, but someone would need to wash her. Bart needs a shower too.”

I thought about the dynamics and then said, “Grab a kid and come upstairs. I will take Dee and Tee to the guest bathroom since it has a tub. My room has a big shower, so Beca and Brook are going to wash Bambi first, and then Bart. Camden, you are going to have to get Bambi dressed for bed, even if she sleeps naked at home. Dig through the big dresser near my bed. Beca and Brook are going to dig through my chest of drawers to get something that might fit Bart. While you wait on Bambi and Bart, dig through my dresser to find you something to sleep in as well. When Skylar, Corwin, and Mary come up, they need to do the same. It is another of the things I won’t discuss other than to say that most of my friends, including my best friends, are girls. Sometimes my best friends have girls sleepover since the girl’s parents will let them sleep in my bed, but not at my best friend’s houses. You see, only two of my best friends are straight. The other three are lesbians. Oh, tell Bart, and Bambi, that they will find pretty much any form of birth control they want or may need, in the nightstand in my room or the guest room. It is there for a reason, and they need to be sure they are using it.”

I headed to the guest room to bathe Tee and Dee. When I had them both clean and wrapped up in towels, I went to find their pajamas. They were missing. In their place, I found ones that had either Ts or Ds on them in various fonts and colors, which made them very happy. Mom came up to tell me that they could sleep in the bed in the nursery. Both kids were small enough to sleep side by side, but if I needed it, there was a trundle underneath that would raise to match the height of the bed.

Once I got them settled in the nursery, I figured out the sleeping arrangements, mostly. Bambi was sleeping on the trundle next to Tee and Dee. Bart was bunking in with Terrance. Camden, Corwin, Skylar, and Mary can see who gets the bed or couch. Beca and Brook liked sleeping in the gaming chairs, so that settled that. I would crash on the couch or out by the pool. It was a bit cool by the pool at night for everyone else to sleep out there, but I wouldn’t notice.

When I took Bambi down to put her in bed, I found April cuddled up between Dee and Tee.

“Your daughter is cute. She heard Tee having a bad dream, climbed out of her crib, pushed a stool over, and then got up in bed with us. Tee is sleeping better now. Night, night,” Dee told me.

Bambi gave me a big kiss on the lips, hugged me, and then laid down for me to tuck her in.

I went to my room and changed into sweat pants and a t-shirt. All the girls in the room had to check out my dick. Beca and Brook acted like this was their first time to see it or touch it. I wasn’t going to say otherwise.

“You shouldn’t have to sleep on the couch, this your bed,” Camden said. “Even if you aren’t part of the Elite club, you are the wealthiest person on Earth currently.”

I hugged her lightly, which she seemed to need badly, and said, “You’re my guests. My mom would skin me alive for having you sleep on the floor. The den isn’t quiet, especially when the babies wake up. Plus, I don’t know who might come over to babysit. You’ve had enough trauma for a few days, if not more.”

She came down with me, pulled me out into the pool changing room, stripped, pulled my pants down, sucked me hard, and then said, “I’m fertile. Corwin, Mary, and Skylar will be over the next few days. We talked about it. You are as close to him as we are going to find, and all four of us want to have another baby. You already know you won’t ever have to worry about any of us coming to ask for child support. Let them come to you, but they will get your sperm inside them, so sit back and enjoy it.”

I surprised myself by pumping a full load of swimmers up inside her in under five minutes.

I probably would have gone longer if her pussy wasn’t starting to hurt.

She was all set to go again in the shower, so we took a nice long shower and fuck. My sperm were done with their job before we got her hair wet.

She relaxed out on a lounger with me for a bit and then went to find a spot in my room to sleep.

I woke up around three to find Skylar working on getting my dick inside her.

“Hello,” I said to let her know I was awake now.

“Camden explained this,” she said in her language. “I saw you understood some of it earlier. I went to find a piece of paper and a pen when I found your PhDs in languages. I know of the oldest man in that department. He would not have awarded it to you if he didn’t believe you were a natural linguist, or able to memorize the nuances of a language to be able to understand it better than those who speak it natively.”

I pulled her down to kiss me in reply. The sperm in my precum wouldn’t have gotten her pregnant if the place in my head hadn’t pushed in the energy needed to have her egg mature faster. Skylar’s nightshirt hid my dick pushed up inside Skylar’s pussy, but she didn’t hide that she was fucking me. That is how Bambi found us when she walked out, rubbing her eyes.

“Can we switch out,” she asked via her Giggle translate. “I could use a lot of that. He isn’t Darren, but he has a dick like Darren’s, and I need some comfort too.”
