Accidentally A Trillionth

We are in trouble cause of you!

"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," Danica answered and they all laughed.

"Move it!" The butler ordered and crinkled his nose in irritation. "A trash thinks he has his way with the princess," he muttered.

The party went on with Richard serving the guest. Even though he still felt hurt by what happened, he made sure to put his heart into satisfying the guests as that was what he does best.

He went on and on and always got a mocking remark from people especially those from school. He hated it, he hated it all but he was used to it.

Mr Armstrong mounted the podium and faced the guest with a huge grin plastered on his face.

"Hello everyone, I hope you all are enjoying the party?" They all replied with some clapping, and some clicked their glasses with another. Their responses were in a positive manner.

"Then my friends, I want to bring forth some one very important not just to my business but my family. He is a friend and also my daughter future father in-law."

Richard halted and looked towards the podium in surprise. Danica is his only child so who was he talking about?

"Please welcome, Mr. Stallone."

The guest gave a clap as the old man rushed up to Mr Armstrong and they both fist bumped. They were really close friends.

Mr. Stallone took the mic and said into it, "Before I start, many of you are wondering why he called me his daughter's future father in-law, well, our children would be getting married. They are betrothed and right now, we fathers have both given our consent to them dating which they are."

The guest cheered again while he went on, "So, if anyone has an eye for Danica, my son Jason is first already."

Richard took his eyes to Danica who was smiling brightly while her arm were entangled with Jason's.

The tray on his hand fell, breaking the expensive glasses to pieces.

"No!!" he yelled out before he could stop himself and everyone faced him.

"And who may you be young man?" Mr Stallone asked.

He quickly reply, "I am Danica's boyfriend. She is my girlfriend!!"

The hall was left in total silent as everyone stared at him with one thought running through their heads.

'Is the young man okay? It is Danica he is talking about.'

Richard did not mind the stares instead he walked to Danica and took her hand in his. "What is going on babe? Tell them all that you are my girlfriend please. We are lovers!" he said out.

But she did something he never expected. She pulled her hand from his and slapped him on the face.

"How dare you? How dare you touch me you lowlife idiot?" She tightened her jaw, and her eyes were darkened.

Since the three months they have being dating, never has he seen her that way.

"Babe who is he? Let him leave already, he is stinky," Jason whispered to Danica but it was clear to Richard's hearing.

"He is just a server who want to dream. How dare he call me his girlfriend? I can never bring myself so low to your level."

Some of the young people present in the party already brought out their phones to record what was going on.

The students from his school step forward to add more salt to what he was facing already.

"We know him from school. He is a cleaner and he doesn't have parent. I am sure he is looking for this opportunity. Poor useless trash," one of them said.

"Yes, we all know him. He does this all the time. He goes after rich people just to get money. He is a crook," another said.

Richard stood in awe of what was happening but his eyes and attention were on Danica, forgetting what others were saying.

His heart was shattered in pieces as he still couldn't believe Danica would insult him or betray him. They love each other so much.

He took her hand in his, ignoring what everyone was saying and leaned closer with his eyes glittering wet.

"What is going on Danica? I love you and you know that. Please......" he was cut short rudely when a punch landed on his face, forcing him to the ground.

Jason straightened up, being satisfied by the punch he gave to him.

"How dare you touch her? Do you know how much she spent on her makeup, dress and perfume and you try to rub your sticky hands on her. You pervert." he pointed at him, "This pervert was harassing our darling princess right in front of us," he said out to the hearing of others who gasped.

"That's enough!" Came Mr Armstrong's voice. He snapped his fingers and his security guards came running in. "Take him out. You know what to do," he instructed them and they all nodded and picked him up from the ground.

Richard heart was filled with pain as he was dragged out of the hall in shame.

He thought he would be dropped off outside but the men had another plan. At first, Richard was too depressed to notice where they were taking him too but when he was pushed into a room, he got back his senses and noticed where he was.

A cold room!

The door was locked and he heard them leaving.

Richard stood up and ran to the door, banging it and screaming out for help but his silent fell on nothing as the door was soundproof.

He went on and on screaming out his lungs and banging the door until his hand began to bleed and his voice became croaky.

He sat on the floor, crying his eyes out. No one would help him. He was all alone and have being left to die.

.....

Richard jerked awake when a bucket of water was poured on him. He woke up, gasping for air. He couldn't see clearly as it was all blur but from what he could make out, Mr. Armstrong was in the room along with some hefty men.

"Beat him off and throw him out in the street. Beat him in a way that he would become unrecognizable. That is what my daughter want or I would have killed him instead," he ordered and the men carried the instruction immediately.

Richard was brutalized, tortured and made to cry for death. It was a nightmare for him. He couldn't cry anymore as his strength left him.

Who knows how long he had being in the cold room but he knew he had being in there for long.

The men went on brutalizing him until he was left half-dead.

He could only opened his eyes a little and aside that, he felt his whole body paralyzed. The men picked him up from the floor and went out of the cold room with him.

They kept him in their car and zoomed off. Reaching the orphanage, they dumped him in the trash bin, driving off immediately.

It was morning already. Richard was lucky to have survived being in the cold room. He kept breathing slowly until his eyes went shut.

After what seemed like forever, he opened his eyes slowly and groaned because of the pain he felt.

His whole body seemed to be on fire at that moment. He opened his eyes wide enough and found the orphanage keepers by his side, all glaring at him.

"I see you have decided to bring shame to the orphanage. Now, we are in trouble cause of you!" One of the keepers lamented.
