Chapter 293: Lost and Confused

Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

Tuesday, December 29th.

Even though Theo went to sleep after midnight the night before due to his late-night performance on Nancy Nicholson's Live Show, he still woke up early the next morning.

He had a workout appointment scheduled with Aurora and the girls.

Theo slowly opened his eyelids as the biological clock told him it was time to wake up. He tapped on the clock placed on his nightstand and he saw it was indeed time to get up.

He sat on the side of his bed as he tried to shake off his sleepiness. His room was pitch dark as he liked to sleep in absolute darkness. And without even turning on the lights or opening the window shades, he walked toward his bathroom.

He had already memorized everything in the bedroom to the last details, so he did not need to see to know where things were.

A few minutes later, Theo left the bathroom after going through his morning routine.

"Sylph, open the shades a little bit." Theo asked as he walked toward his closet.

Sylph immediately obeyed his command by opening the window shades, the morning light passed through the glass windows and illuminated the dark bedroom.

"Oh, and show me the SA and Worldwide Charts from Track." Theo asked suddenly.

For the last two days, he did not pay attention to the charts, and consequently, he got clueless about what was happening to his rising fame and album success. He had to hear from others to know what happened.

That morning Theo wanted to see with his eyes the today's charts.

Without any delay, the huge screen in front of his bed lit up and showed the latest charts released by the Track Streaming Service.

Theo checked the charts as he got dressed for his workout with the girls.

And he was pleased to see that he still topped the two charts. He was dominating by occupying all ten positions of the Top 10. That was the second day in a row that he managed to do that!

He had a pleased face until he checked the number of streams of each song in the last 24 hours.

His face morphed into a shocked and dumbfounded expression.

"How is this possible?" Theo asked out loud in bewilderment.

If yesterday each song of his album managed to get at least 15 million streams, in today's charts the number doubled!

This meant that each song of his album registered more than 30 million streams in the last 24 hours!

And three of them even reached 35 million streams!

In the last 24 hours, his album registered in total more than 300 million streams!

If yesterday he had crushed the previous record on the most streamed album in 24 hours. Today he had crushed his own record that he had set yesterday.

It was crazy!

Even though he did not beat the record of most streamed song in 24 hours, if tomorrow's charts registered another crazy increase in the stream, it was probable he would set another record.

"It seems I underestimated the public acceptance of this album..." Theo mumbled as thousands of thoughts ran through his mind as he put on his running shoes.

Suddenly, Theo arrived at a shocking conclusion, "I'm going to earn more money with this album than what I earned from my other investments!" Theo exclaimed in disbelief.

His enhanced mind ran at light speed calculating all the numbers involved in this deal.

"Sylph, how much does Track pay to artists for each stream?" Theo asked.

"Track pays $0.008 dollars for each stream." Sylph's voice echoed throughout the room.

If Theo remembered well, in his past life Spotify only paid $0.003 dollars per stream. With these numbers, we can see why Track is a giant worldwide and why Track had a much bigger scope than Spotify. Its treatment of the artists was much better as it paid more than double when compared with Spotify.

Theo ran the number of streams from the last two days with these numbers and he discovered a staggering number.

The money he would receive from Track just from the last two days of streams totaled around 3.5 million dollars!

Just two days!

Even if the number of streams did not increase and only maintained at this number for some days, he would receive more money than all the money he earned during the year!

"Now I know why there are so many rich artists." Theo sighed.

He was a little lost with the amount of money in front of him. His goal was never to become rich or famous. His goal was to propagate his favorite songs from his past life. He wanted people from this world to enjoy and be happy with his music.

"Maybe I can donate part of the money to a place in need." Theo mumbled as he left his room.

Theo was still out of his zone and distracted when he greeted Aurora downstairs.

Aurora immediately noticed that there was something wrong with her brother. He seemed lost and distracted.

"What's wrong, Theo? You seem strange this morning. Did something bad happen?" She asked in worry.

Theo came back to his senses when he heard her worried questions.

Theo gave her a loving look as he chuckled, "Nothing bad at all. But sometimes the extremely good side of things can be something bad as well." He commented wryly.

"I don't understand." She said confused.

"Let me tell you everything as he runs outside." Theo sighed as he led her to the backyard.

"Okay." Aurora replied promptly.

"You know that the number of streams of my album is skyrocketing, right?" Theo asked as they stretched their bodies.

"Yeah, I checked it just before you got downstairs and you are dominating the charts once again." Aurora replied as she also stretched her body.

"When I produced this album, my only goal was to bring these songs to people around the world. To make them happy with my songs. But this morning I realized that I will receive a load of money from it. So much money that I can't even imagine the amount."

"You know me my whole life. When we were poor, my only goal was to be able to see you happy and well-fed. I wanted you to survive." Theo commented as he recorded the past.

Aurora nodded and tried to fight back the tears that were forming in her eyes.

She still remembered Theo's frail and weak body as he worked all day long to be able to have money to buy food for her. She still remembered his loving gaze as he gave her the last bit of food in one night, that night he did not eat so that she could have something to eat. Theo never complained to her about their situation. He always had a loving smile when he talked with her. He was her rock and the most important person in her life. She would die for him if it was necessary.

"But after our financial situation stabilized after I opened the Bluecloud Coffee Shop, I did not have to worry about money anymore. I could give you the best of the best and we wouldn't still have to worry about money. It was at that moment that I completely let go of material things and my obsession with money."

"At that moment, I decided to pursue my dreams!" Theo had a wide smile on his face as he said that.

Aurora could feel happiness emanating from him as he talked about his dreams.

But what were those dreams?
