“What are you doing here?” They asked themselves at almost the same time and faced each other.“I came for the same thing you came for.” He swallowed hard.Richester took Amanda to Grandma Pia’s mansion, though she reluctantly followed in order not to cause suspicion in Mandela's mansion.“The vault?” She rolled her eyes. “I’m never giving it out.” She tightened her grip.“What are you going to do with it?” He rubbed his nose, staring at her scornfully because he doubted if she had the password.“What else? Crack the password out of course.” She scoffed, giving the vault a second look.“I have the password.” He cleared his throat. “How about we unlock it together?” He raised a brow and her eyes widened.“You have the password?” She tried not to react convinced, staring at him intently. “Why should I believe you?” She batted her lashes.“Because you have just three chances, otherwise the vault will be deemed useless.” He scorned, looking proud. He felt courageous because he knew the pro
“Mum, why are you screaming? What is it?” Stella asked anxiously, staring at her mother intently.“Where is it? Who took the stuff that I kept!?” Madam Harriet barked at their faces.“What stuff?” Damien questioned.Madam Harriet exhaled sharply when she realized that none of them had an idea where she had kept it, not even Stella. She was only wailing her tail without a master.“Mum, are you okay?” Stella snapped her out of her thoughts.“I - -, did someone come here?” Madam Harriet stammered.“Someone?” They rubbed their chin.“I didn’t see anyone here when I came in.” Bianca rattled out with her hands in the air.“That reminds me.” Stella began and everyone faced her. “The security at the entrance told me something about a burglary in our mansion,” Stella informed her.“Burglary?” Madam Harriet gasped, her eyes shooting sharp daggers at Damien and Stella. “Why didn’t anyone inform me?!” She queried with a loud voice.“That’s because it wasn’t necessary.” Damien found his voice back
The calm soul catchy music played in the background as couples and business partners on each exclusive reserved table enjoyed their time.“Why did you invite me over?” Stella broke the silence, staring at him in disgust. She doesn’t look pleased to be with him and wasting her time on a date but would be thrilled if he was with Bianca, Stella was one insatiable woman just like human needs.“A lot has been happening these days and we barely have time for ourselves.” He curled his lips, with affection permeating his eyes.“I miss you so much, my woman.” He said, grabbing her hand on the desk.Stella scoffed in mockery while pulling her hand. “Are you stupid?” She shook her head. “There is a lot on our plates now and you are talking about love.” She scorned him.“Does that mean a married couple should love?” He tried not to feel hurt no matter how sharp her words were piercing into his impatient heart. “We have nothing to do with Mum’s vault.” He reminded her.“Right? But we are both susp
Richester groaned in dissatisfaction and pain as he struggled to open his eyes.“[User failed Mission]” Suddenly, the computerized voice came up.He was astonished and shocked to hear it, he had condemned and thought the system had left him.“[This User will be demoted to Level 35 with limited access]” it continued.“[User’s punishment: Become a Cassanova for one week.]” It instructed.“Cassanova?” That was the word he said as his eyes slightly opened and his vision became clear.The system had earlier warned him to stay away from intimate affairs for three years, he tried but couldn’t hold himself. He would have to live like a playboy for one week as punishment. He was a little bit happy because the punishment wasn’t death or the loss of an organ.Richester signed heavily as the hangover feeling he was getting vanished, he turned to the left and found a lady sleeping soundly.“Amanda?” His lips trembled and his eyes widened in shock.“What’s going on?” He mumbled to himself as flashe
“How did it happen?!” Richester sprang up from the bed, quickly putting on his shirt.“Boss, you have to come home quickly,” Raymond’s voice sounded tense over the phone. “Your grandmother is on fire.” He urged him.Richester was about to leave the hotel room when the lady that had been quiet on the bed grabbed his hand, he slightly turned.“What now?” Richester groaned, struggling to pull his hand away.“You are going, just like that?” She groaned, adjusting the duvet up to her chest.“I don’t have time for this, as time clocked eight o’clock, I was done with you.” He finished his statement, placed some dollar bills on the table, and stormed out of the room. The lady groaned.As Richester stepped outside of the hotel, he saw Seven already waiting for him at the entrance.He gave a last look at the hotel, remembering what happened the other night and how he cast Amanda aside before entering the car.Just as he had thought, the media and paparazzi were all over Rich Hospital. There was
“How can I crack this?” Amanda bit her lips slightly with her eyes fixed on the files in her hands.She reluctantly flipped to the next page looking depressed. It sounded ridiculous because they have finally gotten the evidence yet it was hard to solve the coding.“15, 14. 1, 21, 7, 21, 19, 20. 2023. 13, 1, 4, 1, 13.” She continued calling out the weird digits wondering what could be hiding behind it.Soon, there was a knock at the door and she put the files away.“Who’s it?” Her voice came up.Mr. Leonard walked into her office and they exchanged pleasantries.“I assumed you are still here.” He curled his lips.“Were you looking for me?” She raised a brow.“Of course.” His lips pursed. “We are visiting the new land we bought for our new structure, have you forgotten?” He questioned her rhetorically and she rolled her eyes, looking tired.“Oh, my goodness.” She returned to her desk. “I forgot, I have been so busy lately that organizational affairs keep slipping from my mind.” She said
“Madam Pia asks that you meet her on the terrace,” Stewart informed him courteously, and with a short nod, he walked over to the terrace.The cool breeze flushed on his face and he was welcomed by the intoxicating smell produced by the water flowers, he cleared his throat nervously and Grandma Pia faced him having an inexpressive facial expression.“You are here.” She was calm.“I will go first.” He walked closer. “I apologize for the mess I created.” He lowered his face to the ground.“It’s already fixed,” she sighed heavily while facing him. “If you met me earlier, I can’t imagine what I would have done to you.” She pursed her lips.“All these incidents are inevitable and this one was creepy because I couldn’t tell where the leak came from. Do we have a spy in Rich Hospital?” He pressed his lips against the other and Grandma Pia shook her head.“No, rather we have someone patiently waiting for our lapses to expose us to the public.” She assumed with certainty.“I have a feeling that
The black Benz rode inside the penitentiary and gradually stopped at the entrance, the officer checked their plate number and the driver’s license, but he curled away when he saw the person sitting in the back seat. He signaled his colleague who was at the opening point, and soon the gate opened and the driver drove in.“Who is that?” His colleague walked up to him after seeing how frozen he was and had no intention of returning to his seat.“It’s the boss, Richester.” His lips trembled and his colleague closed his mouth with his hands while his eyes widened.Raymond parked the car properly in the garage while Richester strolled into the prison yard with James.“Boss!” One of the prisoners saw him and was startled.“Boss?” As he walked into the hallway which had prison cells at both sides, they continued shouting and hailing him.“Boss!” Their voices echoed in the entire hallway as they were surprised and excited to see him.Richester waved at them and returned the gesture with a smil
