While the fuss went on, Damon hurriedly rushed to his blue sedan that reeked of old age and poor maintenance.Damon had turned the ignition several times but the old engine seemed desperate to delay him even more. Damon flung open the car burnet and fiddled with the battery heads.He revved the engine again and it roared to life. Damon immediately reversed the vehicle out of his front porch only to find that he was blocked by a branded taxi cab."Move your vehicle, who let you in here in the first place?" Damon scolded angrily in a hurry to get to the gate and pick Ric.When the driver of the taxi wouldn't budge, Damon got down from his car and went to confront him, at the same time the man in the passenger seat also highlighted."Ric!" Damon exclaimed excitedly as he turned around the taxi to greet his friend he had not seen seen in months and was expectant to meet."Damon," Ric greeted him with less enthusiasm and accepted the embrace he had offered. Ric had always been a very calm

Ric narrowed his eyes and the agitated sorry looking property owner as he paced like a headless chicken unable to believe his fate, he had been very pompous earlier now he had lost everything in just the blink of an eye and he did not know who to blame or beg since Ric didn't accept responsibility for his demise."Excuse me Sir, the estate authority and management has requested we make sure you never step foot on this property again," a security van had pulled over and uniform security men addressed the property owner."What are you talking about?" The man looked confused, even if the property was seized at least he still has his human right of freedom to move about."A restraining order has been passed against you and this entire estate as well as the residents outside the premises." The head security informed him politely and patiently before leading him to his own vehicle and driving away behind him as escort.Damon could barely believe how fast his fortune had turned."Brother! Di

Damon had kept quiet until they reached his old rickety car. He was going to ask Ric about what just happened."Are you no longer getting the items from another store?" Damon asked Ric when the both of them were seated in the car."No, I am already running late for the appointment I have at the Milano Casino. Do you know how to get there?" Ric said in his very calm manner."Yes I know there but do you mind explaining to me what just happened and why you're going to the Milano Casino? That place is for the top one percent in this city." Damon asked curious unable to make sense of all that was happening."Just happened? What do you mean?" Ric shrugged and asked unbothered as he stared at the road ahead."How did you get so much money?" Damon was genuinely concerned and hoped Ric did not start dirty jobs to make money."Oh that, there's more even." Ric laughed and Damon was puzzled even more. Ric wanted to tell Damon the truth but Damon's reaction told Ric that it was not the right time f

"Take me to him immediately please," Ric said hurriedly, he had a lot of things to say to his father and maybe some stories would be told better by his fist.The man shook his head."I am sorry Sir, the security of this place allows only one person use na exit so that door is completely disabled for security reasons already." The man informed Ric.Ric nodded slowly, these Elites were really very cautious with security measures."I am Clarke DeVille from our of Avrilla city." The man took off his shades and introduced himself to Ric. Ric thought to do same but a thought crossed his mind before he took of his glasses and he immediately left them on."Ric Mar---" Ric paused. "Ric Maximillano, you know who I am already." Ric corrected himself.Ric had decided to not reveal his identity to the man even if he was in the close circle, he thought that if his father had put these security measures in place and insisted he alone became Chairman then they definitely had black cats within as well.

Ric rose early in the morning as he had a culture of rising early no matter how late he slept. Ric was surprised to find the space beside him empty and the sheets on that side was still neatly laid out.Ric dropped on his knees and said a prayer before studying the Rhapsody of Realities devotional he had found in the Chairman suit and carried with him.If he was going to pull through a lot of things then he needed to somewhat believe in something.He put on some running sneakers he had before he went to jail and a small sport short and jersey top before leaving the house for a run.When Ric returned, Damon who was asleep on the couch in the living room when Ric had left was fully awake and busy in the backyard tending to his garden."If I had a body as nice as yours, I'll never wear running shoes in my life." Damon teased a perspiration soaked Ric."That's why you don't have the build that I have." Ric replied Damon before retrieving a glass and some fresh juice from the fridge to refr
