"What do you mean by that?" I asked Emiliano. There was no way those words were mere utterances. "Nothing, I just thought after that stress you would be too worked up" I knew he was lying, he knew something about Martinez and he was playing smart. "Why were you eavesdropping?" I asked with a harsh smile on my face. He laughed hysterically. He was playing on my intelligence. "We all know you're her toy boy, watching a life performance is not a bad game is it?" Emiliano said. He was off my hook but I knew we'd get back to it. "Why are you here?" I asked him "We have a game to ace, remember? I don't want Adrain on my head, I have just a few days here and I need to be safe till then". "What do you mean by few days?" I asked immediately. "None of your business, let's go for practice". A few days? I kept pondering on it. Maybe that thief, Martinez, will return my body by then. "I have to pick up something first at beauty's house. Can you help me with it"? I asked Emiliano. "No way!" He thun
Martinez."I woke up so healthy and relieved. I felt like I slept for too long. Funny how it turned out the time was just six am. I always find it hard waking up early, back home. But now, in luxury, I'm an early bird". I smiled softly as I found my way to the sitting room. Vazquez was already there in the dining room. "Welcome back Sir, it's good to see you in good shape". "What do you mean by that? I have been indoors since yesterday, what's the 'welcome' for!?" Vazquez always found a way to annoy me at the slightest chance he gets."Yes sir, since you returned from Cartagena you haven't come down this early, you've also abandoned your routine, here sir" he handed me a drink in a glass cup. "What's this for?" I asked. He looked at me confused, "Sir, that's your healthy smoothie just the way you like it, green and rich!" His beaming smile was nothing but disgusting to me.I dipped the tip of my tongue in the drink, the taste wasn't so bad, it tasted like one of my mother's ingredien
Riccardo's POV.Sad and heartbroken, I walked back home….The text I received from that imposter kept ringing in my head. "How could he do that? I'm I going crazy !? I had given Charlie's phone back to him but it was still clear in my head. "Your father is at it again. Go help your mom and sister" an old woman said to me. I was still a few miles away from home. At first I thought about running, but then I remembered how hurt I was by her son. I walked majestically back home."Where have you been? I have been looking for you", Elizabeth said, with a teary eye. I felt really bad. Without her, I wouldn't have gotten Charlie's phone back. She did help me when I needed her. Hurting other people for another person's sin wasn't something I did. "I'm sorry, I was tired" I said to her. We both walked inside the house. Mrs. Richarlison was severely battered by that wretched man. I could only pity them. I was too late to save her.I felt like beating that man, but then I had no energy left. N
Martinez at the meeting."Bold of them to think they can scare me"!I made a great appearance, so I walked inside the hall where the meeting was to take place, ignoring the wild state of the people. It was filled with men. Just a few attractive and ugly women were there. The place looked like a meeting between senators at the parliament."I must say, this is different. There's something different about you!" A man in a red tuxedo said to Me"Was that call from you from you?" I asked him. "Of course, Riccardo, you're my best friend. I will do anything to save you" he said to him."I had thought the message I sent to Sir Riccardo warranted that attack on my life. I told him to fuck off. He's weak and poor now. He can't do a thing!""Finally, a friend on Sir Riccardo's side, if I hadn't gotten that tip off earlier I would have chickened out like a coward. The senators' threats were real after all. They sent those guys to scare me off", I thought in his head."So bad this is Sir Riccar
"Christabelle! Christabelle!! Christabelle!!" Riccardo called out to her. He was stuck within the crowd's jubilation."Only if she would just hear me" he sighed. He struggled to free himself from those rushing to congratulate him. "Sure three, not when we thought you had lost your magic!" One of the fans greeted him.Riccardo ignited them. All his focus was on Christabelle. "Please excuse me, he said as he rustled his way through."These long legs should at least do something great for me today" he muttered as he ran towards her. "Martinez, the coach is looking for you!" Emiliano said to him. After so much tussle and distraction, he finally caught up with her. "Christabelle! I need your help" he asked, gasping for air due to the rush. "I'm sorry but I don't know you!" She retired and moved steps away from him. "It might sound crazy but I'll explain", Riccardo assured her."Leave the women for now, let's celebrate, Martinez, you can have any woman you want after this big win, now we
The room was heavily scented, with a strong pleasing aroma. Two female models and a young man sat down waiting for Sir. Riccardo."It is so great to hear you agree to meet with us again" the man stood up from his seat to welcome him."It's no big deal. Just run over the proposal again. Let me hear it one more time", Martinez said.The models and the man were lost. "What proposal Sir?" "Seems you're mistaken, were here for you to agree on our deal, not a proposal. We're bearing the whole cost" the man said to him."Bearing the whole cost, at the expense of my image," Martinez replied."You do have a point. What do you say? Are you in?" The man asked him."Can I have samples of what you want me to do?" Martinez asked.The model and the man once again stared at each other in confusion."If you mean the templates and ideas we would use, I have forwarded them to your secretary" he said."Ohh Christabelle? She's not around this minute. Just show me something" he replied.The man handed ove
RICCARDO'S.“Why did you and your little sister disappear suddenly”? Mrs. Richarlison asked Riccardo in a tired tone.“Relax mother, you just came back from work. Elizabeth saw something that scared her”, Riccardo replied.“When are you collecting your prize money”, Mr. Richarlson asked Riccardo. “Now, the whole strange caring act, from this woman beater, is clear. All he wanted was my money”. Riccardo ignored his question.“Let’s eat everyone” Mrs. Richarson commanded Silvanus walked in through their door that was, rarely closed.“You came in at the right time. Join us!”, Mrs Richarlison invited Silvanus.“Thanks ma, I would love to but I just dropped by to see Martinez” he replied to her. Riccardo stood up from his food and went out to see Silvanus.“I just collected my own part of the money. Have you collected yours?” he asked him.“NO, I don’t how to. I thought we'd be called upon or it would be sent individually”, Riccardo replied.“Don’t be so full of yourself, because you won
"She's gone, you can come out" Martinez said to Claudia. "Why was she here?" She asked him."Work related issues" he replied, moving close to her."We should continue from where we stopped" he said, drawing her closer to himself."I'm still in shock. What would I have done if she had seen me" she muttered.Martinez pinned Claudia down to the chair, choking her slightly as he kissed her. The next morning,"Why so early?" Claudia asked, packing her scattered rough hair with a band. Smoothing her face that is filled with smeared make-up. Martinez stood up from the bed, still naked. He roamed around the room to grab a towel."Off to work girl" he responded. "Ain't it too early? It's just five a.m" she said, checking her cell phone.Martinez grabbed a towel, wrapped it around his lower body. "No my love, I have to go now!" He kissed her on the forehead. "Should I wait for you?" She asked with a cheeky voice. "Can't say, I don't know when I will be back," he said."Fine, I'll wait" she sa
