“Sir you haven’t observed your daily routine since you arrived from Colombia”, Vazquez said to him.
Martinez had his full focus on the large television screen, he was watching a movie. “Excuse me sir” Vazquez pestered him.
Martinez still wasn’t giving him an audience; “you have a visitor sir should I tell her to come in?” Vazquez asked his master.
Martinez took the remote control that was on the table, lowered the volume of the sound system and asked Vazquez a question. “Did I hear you say she?” Hurry up and let her in he shouted”.
A beautiful, moderately dressed woman of average height walked in, she held a big tablet with her and an office bag; Martinez stared at her lasciviously from her head to toe, she was what people describe as a ‘Thick woman’.
“Is everything all right sir” she asked
Martinez thought in his head, “Riccardo is one hell of a lucky guy”, “who could this beauty be”?,” I’m sure it’s not his wife; he told me he has no family, she might be his side-chick or girlfriend”, “I won’t let her pass me by, I will play smart”.
The woman was staring at him, she was beginning to feel different about him, “you don’t look like yourself sir”, you haven’t showed up to work in a while it’s so unlike you”, “I decided to check on you, I know you hate it but I just had to”, you weren’t picking up any of my calls also”.
“Who could she be?”, “why wouldn’t Riccardo want this beautiful woman to visit him”… “I get it, he done with her and dumped her, that’s it”. Martinez said to himself.
“As you can see, I’m perfectly alright, ill resume to work when I want to, for the time being I’ll be off work”.
He told her.
“But sir, you have a presentation next week and we haven’t drafted out the full plan” she insisted
Martinez was in a fix, he had no idea of the business plan or whatever the woman had said, he’d keep playing till he gets caught anyway, that was his gang slang back in Cartagena “Fake it till you make it”
“Yes the meeting, I haven’t forgotten, will you stay over let’s get through it or you’d rather wait till I am ready to come to work”? He asked her.
“I’d rather you rest and get well before you resume sir, I could see you’re not in your full form” she relied.
“Looks like she’s a smart one”, he looked at the tag on her neck, he blamed himself, he should have done that earlier, was he loosing his skills because of this old mans body, not too old though.
“Christabelle” Martinez called out
“Yes sir” she responded, Martinez smirked and brushed his hair with his hand to the back.
“You can leave now , I will get back to you”!.
She wasn’t expecting that response, she paused a little, packed her bags and was about to leave; she turned back. “Maybe she forgot something” Martinez said to himself.
“Sir I need your signature here, its urgent, the contract scheduled for next month came in earlier”, Martinez knew he’d be screwed if he accepted to sign the contract; he told her to place it on the table he’ll do it at his leisure
She laughed fondly, “I have to take my tablet back with me sir”
Martinez had seen gadgets like that before but coming close to using one has never happened to him. He was reluctant, seeing his reaction, Christabelle asked if she should forward the document to him instead; she said it really fast like it wasn’t something to be mentioned.
“That would be great” Martinez said,
“What”! oh yes sir, I’d do so right away”. she said not believing her ears.
Chistabelle walked out of the apartment, she saw Vazquez getting the car ready, she went over to him; “Is Mr. Riccardo alright”? “he’s been acting really strange”.
“Not at all, he’s been the same why do you say so?” Vazquez asked her.
“You know how well he hates procrastination, and working from home, he just accepted that I send a soft copy of a contract to him directly, Mr. Riccardo would never do that”.
Vazquez wasn’t soothing her thirst for answers; she got mad at him and left. “I never should have asked you in the first place, Sebastian was he right person I should have spoken to”. She said
Ever since Martinez arrived all he did was eat, drink, and enjoy himself in the mansion. He was living the dream.
He hasn’t stepped out of the mansion since he got in; it was big enough to keep a human busy for a whole month.
Martinez decided to up his game, if staying indoors can be this interesting, how about going out there; how rich is this man though, “I haven’t gone through any of his things; Binge eating and watching movies is so relaxing and time consuming”. He said.
“I don’t have to do anything; that weird looking man literally does everything for me”. He said referring to Vazquez.
“How is my mother doing back home? ; I know Mr. Riccardo would definitely be having a hard time”.
Martinez smacked his hand on his heard hard; “No sure three, you can’t let your emotions inside of you get you; we just arrived, they can survive without me and more-so they have someone with them; he should be grateful at least he’s no more a sick man”.
“Come to think of it, I might die soon so I’d live it, then I’ll stick to my game plan”; that’s it!.
He ran inside the bedroom; his action made Vazquez curios, he rushed inside the room with him thinking something bad had come up that warranted him run that fast.
“Is everything alright sir”; he said panting and trying to catch his breathe. Martinez not seeing anything wrong in his actions nodded the negative with a curious expression on his face.
“why should anything be wrong with me going into my own room”?. Still in a fixed state from the sudden action, he said after placing his hands on his chest to help him stop chocking “sir all my years working for you, you have never run up the stairs like that, I found it very strange and I had to help”. Vazquez said.
Martinez laughed out loud, “wait did you just say Mr. Riccardo had never run through these steps, how then did he move when he was in a hurry”? he asked him with a broad and wild grin showing al his teeth.
Vazquez still struggling with his irregular breathing kept his peace bowed to his master and left the room.
“Can you imagine that? So that man doesn’t run, no wonder he’s sick”.
“Why did I put his cellphone, I need to check things out”.
He scrutinize the room with his eyes, he couldn’t find what he was looking for, he opened a room directly opposite his bedroom, it was a long broad way filled with clothes shoes and luxuries.
“What is this? A shopping mall inside a bedroom”? “Now I believe he’s filthy rich”.
Martinez enters inside the room, he sees Mr. Riccardo’s collection of sun shades, a dressing mirror was at the center, he tried one of it on.
“this looks good on me, so bad it’s not my body”; he returned it back to its spot, he opened one of the numerous closets, it was filled with new, clean well arranged tuxedo’s of various colors and styles.
“Even if I wear one per minute, will not be done in a year; this is crazy”. A passage beside the closet caught his attention.
The room was painted white also just like the sitting room, but that passage had a yellow painting, Martinez walked inside the passage; there was a door’.
He bends to examine the door and see through the small space from the keyhole, not pleased with the view he places his hand on the door knob to open the door.

Posed with mixed feelings he sets out to reread the letter, standing up from his sit.

Mrs Richarlison said as she stormed out of the house hurriedly; dressed in her uniform she added "you already know I have to go very early". Riccardo was startled "Poultry?!"

Christabelle came in, she wouldn't look me in the face, she still hadn't processed what she saw, how was I to know that she had never seen him in that state? "How may I help you sir" she finally struggled to say. Acting like a boss, I am. "Call me Sebastian.I left my phone in the car." I lied but that was the only way I could get her to believe me. "Yes sir" she said, still avoiding me, "why are you still here?" I asked because she was still there. "I don't know if you'd like to see them but they are here saying you called for them."

I saw him from my window in the room. You have to run now.”Not today, I have had enough of this built-up tension. “What do you mean, you told me no one was home?”“Did you not hear me clearly, why are you acting as if this is the first time my father is coming home unannounced,” she said with disgust.That brat, Martinez, was everything bad and a problem. “Why visit a girl when you know her father allows no such things? You could court her in the right way. To stop it all, she is

Martinez POV"You're awake, Sir Riccardo, how do you feel?" It was a doctor, talking to me with smiles on his face. I tried sitting upright. "Don't worry, hold still, you are still weak. You need more time to rest." I couldn't utter a word, my body felt really weak and heavy. "You slumped in the office. It's a good thing you were rushed here very early. The effect could have been adverse", the doctor said. Nothing could scare me though."Where is Sebastian or my secretary? One of them brought me here? Get one of them for me", he smiled briefly and left.He returned with Sebastian, " where is my phone?!" I asked him.He handed it over to me. "Make sure he rests adequately and reduces his screen time. I will join you soon", the doctor said, and left.Sir Riccardo's phone has lots of security. Aside from his thumbprint, some applications require passcodes and passwords.I needed to access his money.

"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.

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

Martinez.“We were worried, Sir Riccardo, we would be late for tonight’s fashion show.”Christabelle rushed after Martinez as he walked briskly into his office. “I don’t even know what this company is about. The other time I was offered a contract to be a model and now I am going to a fashion show?””One time, there was fighting with share holders and annoying meetings with board members. I find it so hard to keep up with them. Then again, the organization!”“I'm so done with keeping up with his business, this is the last straw. I will just stop working and keep spending. He has lots of money though!”Martinez murmered all through until he got inside his office. “Tell Sebastsain to get the car ready, but I am hungry. I only drank champagne.”“You did what?” Christabelle exclaimed with a wild eye.“What ? You heard me! I just drank champagne!” He stormed off. “Another annoying woman!”CHristabelle was in a confused state, hardly comprehending what had overcome Sir Riccardo, who doesn'

Moving closer, the emotions became infectious for both of them.Sir Riccardo made out with Scarlett, embracing her tightly in his arms.“I couldn’t stop myself” he voiced trivially after making out with her. “Just let us eat” Scarlett avoided eye contacts with Sir Riccardo.“Life gave me a second chance by sending this beauty in front of me to my life”, Scarlett broke into laughter, forgetting the uncomfortable scenario that just happened between the two of them.“Knock it off, you’re a joker”. Scarlett and Sir Riccardo played with the food. Feeding each other with their spoons.“Its really getting late, won’t you go home?”“No, I will stay here, I can walk you back to your office. Are you sleepy?” Sir Riccardo packed the food flask and tidied the place they ate. Scarlett watched him distractedly.“I’m done tidyin

Stuffing his face inside the large bowl. “Hey my man”, Martinez shook hands with the doctor. “Dr. Armando?” Martinez wanted to confirm if he was right to address him that way.“You didn’t check the card I gave you last night. Did you?” “NO, not at all. I knew we would meet some way or another” “Why aren’t you drinking?” “Satisfy yourself, there is more than enough” “Do you know the best part of it?” Martinez nodded negatively. “The women!” “Go ahead, I’m coming”, Martinez was getting sober from the drink. “I can’t keep living this new life like this, I need to go out there and fulfill all my dreams. I don’t know why I suddenly don’t feel alive anymore.”“I have everything I always wanted. Why then do I feel this way?”Martinez jumped inside the pool filled with ladies. Drenched his clothes.

Riccardo.Sir Riccardo flicked his scattered hair, “I don’t think so“ he answered her, doubting if it were him she knew or Martinez. It would be Martinez and not me. He concluded, “Maybe I was mistaken, but you look so familiar. I’m Scarlett and you are?” She offered Sir Riccardo a handshake. “Martinez!” He accepted the handshake softly. “Sorry I was somehow rude earlier. Where are you heading to with the little girl?” Scarlett asked him. “To the hospital, not too far from here” he smiled simply. “Your daughter is cute too. She looks like you”. She waved at Elizabeth. “Not my daughter, my baby sister” he corrected with a wild grin. “We might be heading in the same direction, I am also going to a hospital but I don’t know the direction” Scarlett took her phone from the car. “This hospital” she showed Sir Riccardo. “Wow……… it's the same place.

Martinez got a call from the motel he lodged last night with Bianca. The caller wouldn’t reveal the reason for calling. He just requested that he showed up at the motel. Martinez had his heart in his teeth. “Follow me Sebastian. We have a place to be”. Hesitantly, Sebastian started the car and they left the mansion. Martinez called Christabelle and told her to put his lawyer through. “Make sure she shows up as soon as possible at this location”, he ordered. Martinez was gloomy and down-hearted. “A lot must have happened after he dropped me off angrily last night” Sebastian thought, after seeing Martinez’s melancholic expression. “Do you want to share, Sir Riccardo,” he voiced out from his thoughts. “Are you still angry at my faulted incompetence that made you relieve me of my duty last night?” “I am sorry I got your message very late, I was stranded before I found my way, sir”, Sebastian added. “I heard about the accident, Sir Riccardo. Is that where we are headed?” Sebastian kept

Riccardo.Sir Riccardo sat down and relaxed inside the airplane, ready for it to take off. “Cartagena, Here I come” he pronounced as the plane took off. “I still have a long way to go, I might just plan my life ahead” Sir Riccardo said to himself, to while away the long hours ahead of him. “What do I do about the baby that’s not mine? And the girl, beauty?”. “To be honest, she’s beautiful and I like her, but then the baby? Imagine how cruel it is when she grows up and finds it hard to understand everything.”“I just used a she. I don’t even know the baby’s gender”. “I need to stop thinking so hard and let things unfold naturally just the way they are supposed to be”.Sir Riccardo slept off while he was lost in thought. “Sir, the plane has landed”.

Martinez.“Bianca was so weak and light for my body, I mean Sir Riccardo’s body. It's mine now though. I easily overpowered her and took her into my bed”, Martinez said to himself. He forcefully took off her clothes, tore off the other parts. She was semi-naked. It turned him on really well.“Please stop this” She begged Martinez innocently. “I wasn’t going to listen, not until I am done with her”, Martinez said to himself.. Martinez's phone rang. He thought it was Sebastian who finally got through him. Alas, it was annoying Vazquez. “I need to pick this call”, Martinez said and pinned Bianca down. She hit me hard but I couldn’t feel her lifeless punches and beatings. Vazquez told him a man was there with the tape. Martinez wanted so badly. He told Vazquez to keep the man there till he returned.“ If I found any means to take me home at that moment, I would gladly jump on it” Martinez said.Bianca was beginning to bore him. He was happy with the news Vazquez gave him. “Stop it!” “Yo

Riccardo.The driver dropped off Sir Riccardo angrily at the bus terminal. "Get a life!" He said, giving him the middle finger sign."That's what I'm doing, getting my life!" Sir Riccardo yelled at the driver happily. He boarded another car that took him back to his home. "It's my house anyway. I will figure out a way to get in there." Sor Riccardo said to himself after observing the highly protected gigantic building he once lived in."Do you know the man that lives here?" Sir Riccardo asked Vazquez after pressing the doorbell repeatedly. "I am the plumber he asked to come but I told him I would wait till he arrived", Sor Riccardo said.Vazquez was cracked up. He laughed tirelessly, holding his stomach as he listened to Sor Riccardo."For your information, this house has zero problems and even if Sor Riccardo needed a plumber he would have called me." "Call him" Sir Riccardo said confidently.Vazquez was taken aback, "You mean I should go ahead and confirm ?" He stopped laughing

Martinez. The skies were dark and cloudy. It was a perfect match for Martinez's mood. "Will it rain today?""No, Sir Riccardo, just thunder and lightning. I saw the news this morning", Sebastian replied."Don't go that way. Take the right turn. I need to check the place again!" Martinez ordered Sebastian to head back to the site of the incident."What about the police, Sir Riccardo?" "Don't worry, they won't know." Sebastian reversed and headed along that direction. "Park here! We would walk the rest of the distance", Martinez said. Martinez and Sebastian sneaked inside the abandoned store. It was taped with the restricted area tag. "There's nothing here, Sir Riccardo. The police might have taken it!" Sebastian voiced out after searching non stop for minutes. "Should we ask the police? Why is it so important to you ?" He asked him sincerely, hoping he would be able to help."No……. You don't get it! Yes, it's very important to me, but I don't think it's with the police. I took i
