When Ric and Damon arrived the event venue, they were very neatly dressed in suits of similar fashion and luxury that stood out amongst others.Damon handed the keys to the new Mercedes to the valet and both men walked in as camera lights flashed from every direction.It was a masquerade ball so everyone wore a mask and everyone was curious to know who the new Chairman of the Hemsworth board was, news had already spread like wild fire about the Chairman being the lost Dragon heir of Lord Maximillano another anonymous figure to the public eye.The ball was filled with people in and out of Avrilla city because most people wanted to know who the chairman was since they never knew Lord Maximillano, a lot of people expected that since the new Chairman has suspended Lord Maximillano before he retired, he would do things differently and reveal his identity.Rumor already had it that he was a simple man that chose to live in Avrilla city amongst common people despite all of his riches and infl

Ric walked in with Damon to meet someone."I think you should wait for her at the table alone," Damon told Ric when they accessed the restaurant address they were given.Lord Gullathova had insisted that Ric met his granddaughter even if Ric had agreed to the marriage.Ric sat at the table number he was given dressed in a casual White dress shirt with several buttons from the collar left undone.He busied himself with pending work he had left incomplete to attend this blind date. The only thing he knew about his date was that she was the grand daughter of the man he had just entered into a business deal with.He had told the man he did not care what his granddaughter looked like since he was marrying her based on the conditions stated in their agreement and to Ric it was a fair deal on both sides.Two beautiful and familiar ladies pushed open the restaurant door and chatted away, one had jet black hair while the other had blonde hair."What do you think he will look like?" The blonde h

When Ric and Damon got home, both men were exhausted and completely exasperated but Damon had something weighing on his mind.Damon; his excitement mixed with concern ultimately caged him in an intricate web of uncertainty."Do you really trust this process?" Damon inquired from Ric who changed out of his clothes into a casual attire. The day was still very young and noon was yet.Ric had a lot of documents to review in his new position as Chairman and a lot of get acquainted to do, the last thing he wanted was to explain himself to his friend who was not going to understand the reason for his decision."What are you talking about?" Ric always had this extra cool demeanor about him that portrayed to others that nothing ever bothered him.Ric was always carefree yet meticulous and calculated, this personality combination was one thing his friend Damon could never wrap his finger about."You accepted to marry the Gullathova girl on the spot last night and by this morning you're meeting h

When Mr Lombardi said those words, the security immediately granted Ric access, Mr. Lombardi had intentionally invited Ric to the event to evaluate his wealth and influence and he was a bit disappointed when he discovered that Ric did not even have as little as a Milano Garden gold card."Brother, did you forget your card at home or do you not have one at all?" Mr. Lombardi asked this question to ascertain the extent of Ric's wealth and influence.However, Ric was not one to boast so the question did not make him feel any less and he did not try to claim importance or fame either."No, I don't own any card from the Milano Gardens," Ric answered rather politely though he was very uninterested in the conversation."You should have told me earlier and I would have made an alternate solution for you to avoid such embarrassment.""This is my first time being here so I did not know the rules." Ric did not want to go into details of telling him that he actually had a VIP pass to use the VIP

Ric strolled away with Aaliyah in his hand, her heart beat steadily to the rhythm of the risk of recklessness but she cared little. She had always been the obedient and perfect young mistress. While Ric walked, he spotted the young man who had participated in the bid on his behalf. "Take me to Lord Gullathova." He told the young man. There was something about Ric's demeanor that made the young man obey without hesitation or questions. Also, Ric held the Gullathova young mistress in his arms and she looked asleep. "This way please." Ric was led to a private lounge where he sat with Aaliyah across his lap snoring softly. "I see you two are getting along quite well," Lord Gullathova commented when he came out from another door and saw the position Ric and Aaliyah were in. "She's not well, I only brought her to you for her safety." Ric knew that Aaliyah was the target of a lot of people out there as well. "She was fine when we left home this morning." Lord Gullathova examined his
