The hot, cold drink hit his throat, burning him up immediately and so sharply that he had to withdraw the cup away and shut his eyes so tight. Rina laughed seeing his reaction and stood up."Now that my friend, is the first step to becoming a fearless king. Being able to take in even the strongest alcohol that every one thinks not possible." She applauded and patted his shoulder before she walked back to the bar. "Why don't you drink as much as you want? Not that I visit here frequently. I am worried most of this drinks would reach it expiring dates before I realize it.He drew his brows with a thought that the drink he had might be expired but she waved her hand and shook her head."Not the least expired," she answered as if hearing his thought. "Just got it three months ago all the way from Vietnam. One of my most expensive wine,"He heaved a sigh of relief and went for another sip.....The next morningThe sun ray stoned on his face forcing him to groan and tossed to the other sid
Being able to do anything for someone you love is truly a bliss to the heart. Someone who deserves it, who makes your meaningless life meaningful again.He was ready to do anything for the sake of that one person, Danica Armstrong, his girlfriend.Richard looked at the mirror one last time and smiled in satisfaction of how he looked. Even though he wasn't classy enough, he made sure to look as good as he could. He planned on making his Danica proud.The door opened and a young man his age walked in. Seeing him through the mirror, the young man laughed out loud."What do you think you are doing Richard? I thought you listened to me when I told you to forget about the party? That party isn't for someone like you. The class of people attending are way more than your class. Infact, you are just a piece of garbage to them." As always, his friend Mike was there to mock at him.He has always being jealous of him since he started dating Danica so Richard wasn't surprised at all.Danica is of
"Hurry! Go change and start your work. You were specially recommended by me so don't mess this up," she added with a frown.He took a step forward and she took a step backward to maintain a distance. "What are you talking about?""The pay is two hundred dollars. You don't wanna lose that amount and you will get free food too," she answered and turned to leave but he held back her hand."You said I was going to meet your father."She slapped his hand off hers and frowned deeply. "Do you think your place is with the high social guests? You look so low and you want to seat with them? Your place is with the servants so get to work now and don't embarrass me," she sneered and walked away as fast as her legs could carry her.Richard stood still in shock of what she said. Danica never says something like that to him. She never talks about his class so what happened?"Isn't that Ric the cleaner? What is his smelly butt doing here?" He heard one of her friends asked."He is here to work," Dani
"He is such a badluck. Ever since he came into this orphanage, it's being one trouble or the another. I don't know what the priest sees in him to still allow him here," another said."He is of age and should be sent out of here but his useless self wouldn't want to leave cause he want to end this orphanage. Our reputation has being tarnished," another scorned.Richard tried seating up but fell back immediately due to the pain he felt in his head.The door was pushed opened and Mike rushed in. "I warned you Richard. You just don't listen at all." He tried his best to speak as calmly as he could but his voice failed him.Richard could tell how angry he was.He went on, "You have being fired from your jobs. Because I am your friend, I have also being fired. Your picture is trending in the internet and you have being tagged a bad egg. You will never get a job in this city. Your life has being messed with by those evil rich men. Even the orphanage is being affected cause the sponsors have
Richard almost fell when Mike unconsciously moved back. If only he was a minute earlier, they would have gone out."Is he Richard Flair?" one of the cops asked to which the assistant director nodded her head."He is. He has being a nuisance to everyone. He does deserve any punishment you give to him." she added, and for a reason known to her she was avoiding to look at him.The cops nodded and got hold of his arms."He is sick. Please pardon him!" Mike tried to beg but he was pushed aside and made to watch as Richard was roughly dragged out of the orphanage.Richard was thrown into a closed room. He was sure they were at the police station but he wasn't kept in a cell but a dark, empty room with just a chair in the middle.Suddenly, the door opened and a familiar figure walked in, being followed by three men who weren't police officers.Jason had a smile on his face seeing his situation. Richard would definitely not make it. He was a goner anyway."How do you like it in here?" he ques
Days? Months? Years?He had no idea, but it felt as if he was locked up in a dark cell, with no place or entry or escape. No lights or anyone around.Was that his punishment? Was that how the afterlife was? So miserable too. Or was it just his life been miserable even in death?He couldn't remain that way. He shouldn't allow his life be so ruined. He shot his eyes opened and began swimming around for a way out.To find a way out was his goal. He swam around, but to no avail. He was in a place of nothingness."Help!!" He cried out and shut his eyes tight as he felt being drawn more into darkness. "No!!!" He screamed.Waking up to a bright light stoned on his face, Richard groaned and shut his eyes, falling his head back to what felt so soft.He shot his eyes opened and gasped, finally taking note of where he was. The last thing he remembered was falling into the river after being pushed down by a car. How did he end up in a big room, with a massive bed, big enough to take five people.
"I choose," he paused. He was moving too quick and what he had in mind was giving it all up.She said a world of wealth. He had tasted the opposite and because of that, he hates the world. What about trying wealth? Would it make him see the world in a different light?"How rich did you say I will be?"She raised a corner of her lips, "Trillion rich. Your wealth would be too overwhelming."Giving it a trial wouldn't hurt. He looked at the ring on his fingers and took a deep breath."I will keep the ring. Make me as rich as you said I would be."She nodded in satisfaction. "That is the best answer to choose right now." she faced Fred and Yvonne. "It's your job to get the master ready to meet the clan members. We would be waiting." She instructed and faced Richard again. "We will be waiting for you downstairs. Your elites would all be there."With that said, she walked out of the room, leaving her instructions to be followed. Fred went to get his cloth ready while Yvonne prepared his bat
A week later...Richard came out of the cab in front of Purpulus bank. A popular bank owned by a popular business tycoon. She is a member of the second ranked clan and the sister of Rina.He was told to open an account in her bank and an asset, paid in by the Delta clan would be sent immediately.Ricky sighed deeply and looked around. For a week, he was locked up in the Delta's villa, undergoing more lessons as the new king.It was still a dream to him. Getting the ring, been the king of a society that has to do with riches, been made the CEO of Winter-blues company. A well known company in the country. He went into the bank and for a minute, he thought about going back outside. The bank had people been attended to.The thought of someone knowing him, filled his mind. What if he sees a classmate of his? They would definitely yell it out that he is a puppet. No one knows about him been the new king and if he is been said to be a puppet, all Rina and the Delta clan worked for, would be
