My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Alex went to Melissa as she called him and the super important thing she was talking about was a video of a cute little pup trying to climb a step and falling down.

Alex didn't have time to waste on unnecessary things but the ball of fluff kept his attention going and taking advantage of this, Melissa slowly pulled him into her embrace and watched more animal videos.

Two hours passed and only now did Alex realized that he had important work to do, but this cute silver-haired monster somehow diverted his attention and made him procrastinate.

Alex looked at her with knitted brows but Melissa only smiled in response and rubbed her nose on his nose lovingly.

Knowing he couldn't beat her, Alex accepted defeat and ran away after snatching the laptop from her, lest she involved him in something again and made him procrastinate.

Once Alex was back in his bedroom, he placed the laptop on his study table and began browsing through the various stocks available in the market.

Alex was well-versed with stocks as he had begun investing from the age of 22 in his past life and had a general idea of what the status of the companies would be in the coming years.

Although that was the case, the phone he was using from the age of 18 had a stock thing available on it that was right on the front screen.

Alex would see it from time to time and get interested in the news and prices.

He knew what were the best stocks he could buy at this moment.

But the only problem was...

"My bank balance is too low to buy anything right now."

But that wasn't much of a problem.

Alex punched in a few things on the laptop and soon he saw his bank's website.

He then applied for a loan and within thirty minutes, got a video verification call from the bank staff.

Once he was done with the verification, he signed a few documents digitally and in another thirty minutes, the process was completed and he heard his phone chime.

[Loan approved!]

[$20,000 has been credited to your account.]

Alex smiled looking at it. "Good ol' capitalism..."

Loans didn't take a lot of time to be approved now as everything was digital.

Another thing was that banks loved the interest they would get from the loans.

Usually it was 8% which was higher than the inflation rate of 6% per year. This meant no matter how much time passed, banks wouldn't go broke but the common man sure would.

Loans less than $50,000 were approved instantly due to this and being in an Ivy League med school, Alex had an even easier time getting a loan.

Once the money was in, Alex went to buy some stocks.

It was still noon and there was quite some time for the market to close.

Alex looked up the stocks and browsed through them for a minute. He found a few familiar names but not the one he was looking for.

Alex eventually searched the name and there he saw it:

MZNO 17.23

Mazzano Airlines Limited -0.72%

Mazzano's one stock cost $17.23 and it had fallen horribly over the past two years and was still falling everyday.

At their peak, the price of one stock was around $80 and from there, they have come all the way down to $17.23 today.

This had happened due to the various mishaps in the company.

Two years ago, one of their planes coming from Brazil had an engine failure followed by the spoilers not coming up.

The plane was running at high speed but halfway through, the pilots realized the problem and even though they tried to stop it, the spoilers couldn't come up and the plane broke through the barriers of the airport, going straight onto the streets and taking lives of pedestrians as well as the passengers.

The plane blew up after crashing and there were only three lucky survivors.

This incident shook the whole airline industry and the company was in deep trouble.

Their stock plummeted instantly by a whopping 50% and the company was starting to go broke.

Thankfully, they had a decent reputation before the crash and kept themselves running even till day.

Their stock had only gone down since then, but they had a big enough fleet and were still making some profits to run themselves.

By the end of the year, during New Year's eve in 2030, it would be announced that Mazzano would merge with the world's third ranked airline company Horizon in the coming three years and be assimilated with them.

This would rekindle the public interest and make their stock grow.

Horizon would also put lots of investment into the company before the merger and Mazzano's net worth was only going to increase from here on until it would finally be scrapped out of existence.

Alex bought $10,000 worth of shares of Mazzano instantly and with the remaining money, he bought the shares of a growing startup that was about to be funded heavily in the coming few days and rise.

The money from the startup that Alex would make would be around $50k in the coming fifteen days and he could repay the loan by then and be free.

The remaining amount would be poured into Mazzano's share again and by the end of the year, Alex was expecting to make around a million dollars just from this one company.

For the first time Alex felt relieved and happy that he kept himself up to date with the news.

But then he cursed himself for not looking at even one lottery.

Had he known the numbers for any lottery, he would've won it and wouldn't need to wait or invest as much to get a million dollars.

But nothing could be done now and he was just a normal person in his past life.

No normal person would think that they should keep themselves up to date with lotteries and whatnot just in case they ever died and reincarnated back in time.

Shutting down the laptop, Alex leaned back on his chair and exhaled in relief.

He soon felt a pair of hands on his shoulders massaging him and he couldn't help but feel relieved of all his worries and stress.

"Done with your work, honey?" Melissa had sneaked inside the bedroom while Alex was working and was waiting for him to finish, which she assumed he now did and asked that.

Alex nodded lightly. "I am free now. Do you want to go outside?"

"Sure." Melissa smiled. "Where are we going?"

Alex looked up at Melissa and asked, "do you have something in mind?"

Melissa shook her head.

"Let's go to Mr. Frank's Pizzeria then. It's lunch time as well, we may as well grab a bite."

"Sounds wonderful." Melissa was happy as long as she got to spend time with her husband.

The two got ready and Alex drove to the pizzeria.

The pizza shop was an old place and from the outside it looked normal, nothing fancy, and didn't stand out from the rest.

Walking inside, the whole furniture was old and the shop was almost empty, with only two customers dining.

Alex turned to look at Melissa's expression once they were in, wondering whether she was disgusted by this place or had any other emotion going on.

To his surprise, she had already taken a seat and was gesturing to Alex to come sit with her.

Alex wondered what sort of luck he had to get such an understanding and amazing wife. She never complained about anything and involved herself in everything he did and took interest in.

Alex had truly struck gold and he made a mental note to take good care of this gold he possessed.

The two sat down and after a while, a man in his late 40s came to the two.

As he saw Alex and was surprised. "Alexander?"

Alex looked at the man and smiled. He waved and said, "Hi, Mr. Frank. How have you been?"

"Alex! Hahahaha! Good to see you back! How's college?" Frank patted Alex's shoulder and asked.

"It's going good." Alex replied with a smile.

"So what do you wanna have? The usual or something else now that you have a lady with you?" Frank winked at Alex.

Alex chuckled and said, "the usual pepperoni, plus a classic margarita."

"Still going with the plain stuff, haha! Alright, I'll be back in a bit." Saying so, Frank left to get the pizzas

Fifteen minutes later, Frank served the pizzas and Alex and Melissa shared them.

The two chatted for half an hour and once Alex was done, he went to the bill counter to pay.

Alex saw Frank again here and noticing there wasn't anyone else but him in the shop, Alex asked, "Mr. Frank, you're handling the shop alone?"

Hearing this question, Frank sighed. "That's right. There are hardly any orders and the pizzeria isn't making a lot of money. I can't afford to have staff and now have to do everything alone."

Alex was a regular. He had been coming to the shop for almost a decade. Frank didn't feel any problem sharing this thing with him.

"I see." Alex nodded. He had been waiting to hear this and was here for this particular thing.

Getting down to business, Alex said, "Mr. Frank, I have an offer for you. It'll bring a lot of customers but it won't be for free."
