Alice could do nothing but lay in her seat with regret and pain filling up her heart and mind. It was clear she had lost this one. There was no way she was getting him back.She could try but there were more chances of her being rejected than accepted.The memories of the past started to haunt her. How she had visibly hurt Richardson by dating Michael. It hurt to do that to him and she felt it. She had bitten him hard.She could see the look on his face when he had found out about her affair with his best friend. It had broken him while he was in the holding cell. She had gotten him arrested and lied on top of it.She had really ruined his life, she was sure she was not getting redeemed anymore.The party went hard, drowning her thoughts as she watched couples dance on the dance floor.“Oh come on!” she heard someone yell, glancing to see Jennie dragging Richardson to the dance floor. Everyone clapped their hands to the beat of the song as the dance floor cleared for the both of t

“Don’t touch me!” Michael yelled out in anger pushing against the hordes of guards gripping his suit in a rough manner.“Right this way sir,” Tom chuckled, ready to rough handle the man if it ever came down to it.“Alice!” Michael called to his girlfriend. “Alice, come here!”Alice could hear Michael calling her but she was already embarrassed by what was happening. Her boyfriend was being dragged out by seven men, she was already mortified. She secretly wished she was not associated with Michael.Jennie walked to where she sat with a drink in her hand. She watched the man being dragged out before turning to see Alice hiding her face from the crowd.“Isn’t that your man?” Jennie chuckled, almost spilling her drink in amusement. “You’re not going to leave with him? He seems to be in dire need of your care.”Alice gave a fake smile after hearing the sarcastic tone in her voice. “I'm not ready to leave yet,” was all Alice could say. She did not want to show everyone that she knew t

Richardson hated the guts of the woman before him. She had ruined his life and yet she wanted his forgiveness.He did not care about her or what she did at the party so long as she was not in his way. “I…”“Let me finish,” he raised a finger, shutting her instantly. He had spent all his life listening to her speak, it was time she listened to him. “Now, I had my hopes set on you as my mother was unconscious in the hospital. I wanted you Alice. Just you. I had no one else but you and you ditched me!”“Richie…”“I love how all of this is playing out because it shows what kind of person you are and your type disgusts me,” he laughed. “You ditched me for money.”“That’s not…”“…true?” he completed, spreading his arms around. “Look around you girl. Why the actual fuck are you here if not because of that?”“It’s because I love you Richardson.”This statement was what he had not expected to hear from the woman.A light chuckle escaped his lips, “You are delusional, you know that?”“If…”“Y

It had been a shock to see the man in an expensive suit but he knew something had happened after their separation.How had he changed so much in so little time? It wasn’t even up to two months and he had gotten rich. What did he do?!He knew when Richardson would beg him for food and he would give him the remnants from his fridge. Their university days had been a bit difficult as he had tried keeping his identity a secret to Richardson.He did not like being associated with him, but he was intelligent and it gave him the open doors he could attain. He had used the man, but it was all for a great cause. If Richardson had known about his money in the university, the man might have requested for some of it which he did not like to give out.He enjoyed making fun of Richardson. He had loved the look on his face after finding out of his affair with his girlfriend.It had elated him so much and made him feel more superior to the poor man.Hitting him across the cheek was part of the plan.

“Where are you going, Sir?” Richardson’s driver asked him as he got into the Bentley, requesting for the keys.“I’m taking her for a little spin, I’ll be back,” he smiled taking the keys from the driver as he started it up.Roaring the car to life, he sped into traffic, heading for Jennie’s abode.“That was the most fun I have ever had,” she clapped her hands for joy. She was elated at how everything had gone for her.She had mingled with so many rich people, lived a life of luxury and had a wonderful night with Richardson. Being his girlfriend had gotten her so much attention.“I did too,” Richardson laughed, slowing down to get into a street way. “I had to deal with my ex and her crazy boyfriend.”“I saw that,” she concurred. “What happened to you both anyway?”Her question took him back to the past as he remembered his time in the company while watching himself dance, the look on his boss’s face as he was getting fired and his surprise to find out about his girlfriends affair with
