Alex walked out of the exclusive shop angry and embarrassed. How could this happen? Why was Ric given a preferential treatment over him? For all he knows, Ric was nothing but a poor church rat, where did he get the money to be able to afford the clothes sold at the store? His entire face was red with fury and his fists were clenched as he blew off steams from his ears. "Until you pay the outstanding balance you owe, you're not going to be allowed into the building, Mr. Alex." The words of the new manager who had walked in that moment rang continuously in his head. "What the heck was going on?" He asked confused and walked over to his car parked outside the building. He pulled the door open and slid into the driver's seat. Alex wanted to shout, he had just gotten a premium firsthand embarrassment but he could do nothing. He had to keep his cool and just leave the place. He threw an angry gaze toward the building he'd just vacated and cursed under his breath. He should be

When Ric appeared at the gate of the Conover Club, he was quite mesmerized by the beauty of the infrastructure. He had expected it to look beautiful but the pictorial panoramic view he had envisaged, wS nothing compared to what his eyes beheld. "Excuse me Sir, please can I see your membership card?" One of the security guards interrupted his thoughts about the place."I'm sorry but I don't quite have that" Ric was naturally a polite person so it was nothing to him to respond kindly to a lowly security guard."I'm sorry Sir, but your card type is the determining factor for the entry access you are granted" the security man was not being rude since Ric had dressed up properly and looked like a rich man, however, he was only doing his job."That won't be any trouble, I'll just call my friend to come out" the Conover club was a place reserved for only the richest of richest. Some of these accesses, Johnson could give Ric to drive through preferential gates but Ric severally declined unw

The day of the wedding was fast approaching and everyone was nervous. Everyone was on edge because Ric had proved them wrong and secured the same venue he had a bet with Roxanne's husband with.Roxanne and her husband were quite on edge as the constant thought of losing to Ric and Aaliyah plagued them with sleepless nights.Melissa and Alessandro had also heard the news and the tension in their marriage grew thick while their intimate communication grew thin."The wedding arrangement are all set. It's going to put your face on the news for a while. Are you sure you really want to do this?" Johnson asked Ric concerned as they drove back from a board meeting.Ric sighed undecided. He has not envisaged so much drama accompanying his new identity and it looked like every passing day it only became more difficult to keep his identity hidden."How much longer?" Ric asked completely exasperated."What do you mean?" Johnson asked.Ric was struggling within himself and no matter how much he ju

It was a close call and miss but what bothered Ric was how Lord Gullathova was just in time to save him.He had a lot of unanswered questions and his wedding to Aaliyah was just a few days away.It didn't take long for the Internet to be flooded with pictures of Ric's Mercedes that was in flames with the body of the body guard and the driver in ashes. News media houses were already giving their opinions and thoughts some said the Milano president was completely burnt in the incident while others said he had escaped.Uncertainty filled the atmosphere and for a beat in time outside his heart's rhythm, Ric saw reasons to remain anonymous a while longer."Have you seen this?" Lord Gullathova shoved the phone in his hand to Ric."Are you being intentionally stupid and reckless to see how far I can keep my words or what is your aim?" Lord Gullathova snapped at Ric angrily and Johnson remained silent.Lord Gullathova was far older and more experienced than Johnson and Ric and even if Ric had

Ric reiterated because the woman that spoke was not company he was willing to accommodate at the time, he could deal with her in the presence of her family members but she was a pain to him in person.The person that spoke was Roxanne, Aaliyah's cousin and the man that accompanied her was her husband.In all his supremacy, Ric was lacking in a lot of areas, his family and friends were unable to benefit from his influence. Ric made a personal decision to change it."What else Sir?" the vice president asked the very distracted Ric as he sat behind his large desk lost in thought."Mr Maximillano!" She called again jolting Ric to consciousness."Say," Ric was stunned but he maintained his composure and responded very calmly."I was asking if there is anything else you would have me do." She asked again."No," Ric's response was short and abrupt and the vice president knew that she was no longer welcome in his office so she excused herself and left him to himself.The day dragged and Ric r
