King Tucker

King Tucker was a man who, if defined with one word, would be defined by the word “regal”. He was born to a family that had an exorbitant amount of wealth. His father was a railroad magnate, and his mother was the daughter of a famous hotel owner from the east coast.

When he was only a boy, he mastered big game hunting. When he got tired of one school he merely moved to another, which rest assured, would be one of the finest institutions that money could afford. He was an unparalleled fencer, pugilist, and beekeeper. He held the high school pole-vault record for the entire state of Connecticut.

When he was a young adult, he inherited his father’s wealth and business assets. He eventually expanded the business, and many thought he was destined to inherit the world. No one was more capable, as he had charming wit and sizable ambition. However, the world was to fall just outside of his grasp. It wasn’t that he was incapable of reaching those heights. No, it was for a far more complex reason.
It was a woman.
