Nicks story

The saying "born with a silver spoon in my mouth" was how I really started to live my life. I was born in major wealth from my decedents, the Dukes of Buccleuch.  I personally didn't see them, but my father kept a painting in his office.  I loved to get everything that I wanted. My father sold bonds for a living, and my mother was the head of a local social group.  As a young boy I remember seeing my father do work in his office, and I would be fascinated about what he was doing.  When I would run around his office he would sit me down on his lap and show me how everything worked.


 
A Bondsman refers to anyone who pledges money as a surety for a contract. This usually refers to bail bondsman who pledges bail for a criminal's appearance in court in exchange for a small fee. If the criminal shows up for trial the bondsman receives his money back and ends up making a profit from the fee they received in the beginning. However it can also refer to anyone who backs any contract, such as in construction or other service industries, although this is mostly done by banks and insurance agencies today.
