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 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. My mother works here”. Sir Riccardo and Elizabeth joined Scarlett in the car. They drove down to the hospital. “I will see you around” Sir
Martinez.The blindfold was loosened. “Now I am pleased!” Martinez smiled vigorously. A wild party was going on the whole field. Martinez took some bottles of champagne for himself. 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. They surr
Martinez.“What happened to my lips? Ohh Is it stained with food?” scarlet shrugged, wiping her clean finger on her lips. Sir Riccardo stared at Scarlett’s beautiful eyes. 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
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'
Riccardo flung the medical result papers in a rage; he couldn’t handle the pain anymore. He was trying hard to console himself but nothing was working. The Doctor’s words flashed back in a rush to his head, “You have a year at most to live, I will send the test result to your office tomorrow morning. Don’t worry about it sir, with the best of care and attention we’ll make sure you have adequate treatment that’ll guarantee your safety for the next six month before you start experiencing any form of uncontrollable difficulty”. “You’re suffering from a rare cancerous disease, and it has no cure, I said that earlier, I’d advise you sign the treatment required papers so we can start the process. I will forward it with the Test results”. “Excuse me sir? Are you listening?” Asked the doctor Riccardo was absent minded, he stretched out his hand to shake the doctor, he couldn’t look him in the face. “You mean I will have to die at 54”? “I’d be 54 next month you know”? ” I heard you say
IN RICCARDO'S MANSIONIt was a spacious, empty but aesthetically layout design in the mansion, it was painted all white, only the furniture and equipment had different colors. In the sitting room there were several artworks on display, only one was portrait of Mr. Riccardo Ferdinand Deville. The portrait was an original painted image of him, it looked so real and clear, it would be the first thing to attract ones attention when you step inside the mansion.A big white blinding light from the gigantic chandelier in the room pierced into his eyes, he was fast asleep, enjoying the smooth and soft feeling of comfort from the bed. He rolled left- right on the big king sized bed he was sleeping in, anyone would find it hard getting out of such a comfy and big bed. “Good Morning sir, you’re late for your morning routine” it was Vazquez his house keeper and personal assistant, who turned on the light in a bid to wake up his master.He tardily took off the heavy, fluffy cover he used on his

He was to visit his only distant relative and child-hood crush Jacqueline Camille Alphonso who stays in Cartagena, Colombia.Sebastian drove him directly to the airport, he was with just his travelling bag, his cellphone and a water bottle, Mr. Ricardo loved the simple and exquisite life style.Ditching his private jet, he opted for a convenient first class flight, the journey lasted for roughly twelve hours, he enjoyed it because he could sleep and was less worried, the plane landed at the international airport in Colombia.The time on his wrist was different from that on the display screen in the airport waiting stall. He saw a group of people cheering up to welcome someone also from London where he came.He admired them and wished he was in their place.Sebastian had booked a private taxi t
