34.RICCARDO"It's been several days now that I have been trapped in this body, but I just remembered I have not visited the gym, not even for a day." Sir Riccardo said, "How do I stop these petty thieves? I just hope they aren't armed !" "Keep calm you all, I will go check through the back door" "Wait. Don't go empty-handed, go with something. I'm coming with you!" Auriella said to Sir Riccardo."Just take care of your baby in here. I am the man!" He responded."This is no time to argue!" She got up on her feet and tiptoed with Sir Riccardo. "Where is your gun?" She whispered. "My what?!" He responded shocked. "Yeah you hid it inside your black bag. Is it here ?" She asked him. Sir Riccardo was surprised and mute. "Wait, I will go get it!" Auriella tiptoed back to Sir Riccardo's room."Here, Catch!" She threw the pistol to Sir Riccardo. It almost fell out of his hands. "I will use this" she took the turning stick from the kitchen."How could a woman be this brave?" Sir Riccardo
Denola and Martinez both let go of the gun immediately. It was fired!. Denola was faster. He immediately picked up the gun but his feet began to stagger as he moved."Where do you think you're going??" He shouted, pointing the gun at Laurel and Martinez."Save your strength, you are bleeding" Laurel said to Denola pitifully."His men will soon be here. It would be harder to get away from them if we didn't leave that instant."Martinez held Laurel firmly. "Meet me at the back of the stage!" He called Sebastian.Swiftly, he got the car ready,"Don't let them get away!" Denola's goons were closing in on Martinez and Laurel. "Where are you Sebastian!?" Martinez muttered with fear. Sleekly, he drove the car just in time to help Martinez. "Get in boss!" He shouted and drove off in a haste."Who is she?" Sebastian asked Martinez."Guess!" He replied with a smirk. Sebastian looked back from the driver's seat, Martinez was seated with him in front."I'm I dreaming?" He asked Martinez. "Chill
Sir Riccardo."Today I leave, nothing will change my decision" Sir Riccardo muttered beneath his breath as he walked to the place where he was to collect the passport and flight tickets. "Here! That's the form signed by a guarantor. Can I have my passport please?" He asked happily with a high tone. "I'm sorry something came up and you might need a bit more money to get it" he said, looking at him stone cold. "That's heartless and unfair. How much ?" Sir Riccardo responded bluntly. Kicking his foot against the table. "Just a hundred more bucks more will do" the man responded. "Have it", Sir Riccardo angrily threw the money at the men. "I'm Bieber Gorge, nice doing business with you", he offered a hand shake to Sir Riccardo. "Just give me my passport!" He commanded with annoyance. "You still owe me, remember?", Bieber said jokingly. "Your friend was here again yesterday!" He added. "What ?" Sir Riccardo asked. "Yes, he threatened me and caused some damage. That's what I made you
"I had a very long day, Sebastian. Take me somewhere I can offload this stress" "Be precise, Sir Riccardo; these days. What means fun to you is different", Sebastian replied, pressing hard on the car's horn."What do I do for fun ?" Martinez asked Sebastian. "Visiting the SPA, the golf club on Saturdays, the cinema and most times you'd always choose to go home after a long day"Martinez chuckled as Sebastian listed the things Sir Riccardo did for fun."That explains why he had to come to Cartagena. He has a boring life" he said to himself." I will make Sebastian choose for me. That way my tracks are extra covered.""What about you, Sebastian? What do you do for fun?" Martinez pushed him on his shoulder jokingly.He left the back seat and sat beside Sebastian in front."Are you serious, Sir Riccardo?" "I don't think you want me to answer that. I became clean and a different man because of you"Sebastian replied, bustling with laughter. "Spill it. I wanna hear it" Martinez asked err
Sir Riccardo. The elevator opened and the occupant came out. “This is not real!” Sir Riccardo said as he set his eyes upon Martinez. “He has my body!” He jumped up in joy, making everyone around him step away from him. Sir Riccardo moved forward to see Martinez and talk to him. “Step aside please”, two men in uniform pushed him away. They followed Martinez to the office. “He saw me! I know it, he pretended not to!” Sir Riccardo muttered as he tried hard to see Martinez. “I came all this way for that! I won’t give up now!” She secretly followed Martinez and his men to the office. “Seal all the corridors and doors. Place a man at every stop!” “This place must be fully guarded!” Martinez said to his men. “It would be extra hard for me to break through!” “Talking to someone would just be as if I am chasing myself out of this place with my own hands” “This idiotic boy, has the appearance of a playboy and a con artist.”“Are you here for the employment job?” a woman said to Sir Ricc
MARTINEZ.“I’m I still reacting from my hangover?” “I just saw a man in my own body!” “Wait a second. Could that be Sir Riccardo?” The elevator opened and Martinez saw Sir Riccardo. He followed Sebastian and the other security officers, to evade meeting with Sir Riccardo.He went straight to the board room where the meeting would be taking place. “Wow, Lorraine’s sister is here too. But why?” Martinez asked him.“Mr. Cruz might be trying to spite you, Sir Riccardo. You should brace up”. Sebastian replied Martinez, helping him to adjust his hair, which had been scattered and looked unkempt.“Good morning Sir……..What! Why are you like this? The meeting is about to start in a few minutes” Christabelle exclaimed as she saw Martinez.“NO. Me appearing this way to the board meeting has a special message and impression I want to pass to them all” Martinez insisted on going to the board meeting looking shabby.“Your ex-wife will be one of the guests attending this meeting Sir. I suggest you
Riccardo."The boss will see you now." Sir Riccardo was anxious at first but happy his sacrifice finally paid off. "There's no way he can run from me this time.""Who could have planted that bomb and why?" "Can this organization go to this level of endangering the lives of others? This is why I have dreaded things carefully all through" Sir Riccardo was led to where Martinez was."Wait here. He will attend to you soon."Sir Riccardo was served some coffee as he waited for Martinez. "What would I do when I see him?" He asked himself as he sipped on the hot coffee. "It's been a while since I drank this." "Come in, Sir", Christabelle said to Sir Riccardo. His jaws dropped when she came to call him. "It's me Christabelle" he said in his heart."Why do you look so familiar?" Christabelle asked him. "No, ma'am I doubt if we've ever met" he replied. "I know she's referring to that day after the basketball game when I approached her" Sir Riccardo stepped into the office slowly. He saw Ma
Martinez."What if the car trailing us was just to scare me and make me come here?' Martinez thought as he sat in the spot Mr Cruz Antonio had reserved for him.Martinez took out his cellphone, he dialled Sir Riccardo. "Don't take your eyes off me Sebastian. I suspect fowl play" "Sure boss, I would be out here!" Sebastian replied."A CCTV is attached to our car. I might just check it before I head back to you, Sir Riccardo." "A CCTV? That's great. I need the results as soon as you view them. Come directly here. I don't trust this Antonio Guy either."Lorraine moved near Martinez. He pulled out the chair next to him for her. "No, I'm not sitting. I came to tell you I was leaving!" She said in a low tone."Why did you make me come here? I considered Sebastian's suggestion just because of you", he added."I want to go clear my head!" Lorraine replied to him.Martinez saw Sir Riccardo walking towards where he sat, still dressed in the security guard's uniform."I hope he's not coming o
