“I don’t want to do this with you,” Richester said walking towards his hotel room, Amanda didn't intend to leave. It was obvious that she came for what she had in mind and she wasn’t leaving until he accepted her.“No.” She retorted.“I thought you were annoyed and angry with me?” He scoffed, sliding the card on the access board. She followed him into his room. “What’s all these, Amanda?” He spat at her face in annoyance.She was ruining his mission, unintentionally.“Recently, you have suddenly become a playboy. How about we play together?” She curled her lips, approaching him.He got nervous and started walking backward.“I’m not asking for an apology for your last action. All I need is you. I want you to be mine.” They stumbled on the soggy bed and she laid above him, he swallowed hard.“You are on me.” He struggled to say, seriously avoiding her sharp gaze.“I know and I don’t intend to leave.” She whispered flirtatiously, stroking his chest.“Amanda - -” He began but the system o
“Finally, we can see you today.” The patient sitting across from him exhaled in relief, his brow raised.“Were you looking for me?” his lips straightened.The pregnant woman and her husband nodded sharply.“Yeah, we have been here three times this week.” She explained with a calm voice.“My apologies for that. I have been quite busy lately.” He smiled.“Hope all is fine with you, doctor.” The man politely inquired.“Yes, I’m.” He nodded and looked at them. “I’m glad that you are taking your medication properly. Your baby is fine and you are okay. All you need this period is enough rest.” He informed them meticulously and they agreed with soft smiles on their face.“With all that being said, our session ends here.” He haven a sigh of relief.“So, when is our next session? The nurse said my wife is almost due.” The man said with concern filled in his voice.“Don’t worry, the nurse will tell you everything you need to know at the front desk.” He assured them with a warm smile.“Take care
“What happened?” Grandma Pia panicked anxiously immediately his phone fell from his ear. He was still in a daze.“Talk to me.” She shook the edge of his suit.“We have fallen to stage one.” He mumbled, dolefully.“Stage one? I still don’t understand.” Her curiosity rose to its peak.“Mr. Amos is dead.” He reluctantly spilled sadly, that was when he could have his seat.“How come?” She reacted shocked and annoyed.“I don't know. I can’t even explain.” Richester rubbed his head. “We made a plan together and he promised to decode the letter after signing.” He frowned, explaining rashly.“They are close to him. They know you have the documents in possession and they will do all they can to make all your efforts futile.” She said seriously and he faced her.“What should I do, Grandma?” His eyes quivered and he looked cold.He was only a step away from ruining the life of his ex-wife and mother-in-law. He was a step away from vindicating himself of a false crime yet all his effort crashed d
Seven drove the car around the waterfall before pulling it to a stop at the mansion entrance. Richester approached the car with a confident stride with his hands tucked in his trouser pocket, he looked charming and smart.“What’s on my schedule?” He faced Raymond slightly.“Madam Pia reshuffled your plan, sir.” Raymond began and he faced him anxiously. “She asks that you visit somewhere else.” His statement followed.“Where is that?” He raised a brow with curiosity lingering in his eyes.“Sir,” Seven bowed with his hand holding the open door, he signified Richester to get in.“Let’s go.” He sighed heavily and entered the car.It was a quiet drive, Richester’s eyes were fixed on his tab as he surfed through the internet, going through the latest news report.Seven and Raymond stole glances and grinned in excitement. They were lovers, it was no longer a secret to anyone in the mansion, but still, they had to be courteous when they were with their boss.Richester’s phone suddenly rang an
"Congratulations, Mr. Richester." The board directors, shareholders, and investors of Rich Hotel chanted as they approached him, they shook hands with smiles on their faces.He continued nodding his head."I look forward to working with you." Another said.Soon, the noise subsided and he sat down."Thank you for welcoming me. I promise to make our hotel grow and spread beyond borders." He said seriously and they nodded their heads in affirmative."We trust the Winston family." They agreed.The meeting came to an end and Richester rushed out of the room with the plans of meeting with Amanda.All through the meeting, his mind has been on what he was told. He had tried to compose and finish up with the hotel meeting, at this point, nothing can hold him back.He wanted to hear the full explanation and truth if she was getting married.Darn! He was still alive so she can't move on without him.He has been a clodpole and a pushover but he planned to stop and embrace love for the first time.
A few hours later, some officers came into Rich Hospital and started the rough search of evidence with the detective. Richester didn’t react or show interest even when he was somewhat bothered, he didn’t know how the Mandela’s find out about fallacies happening in their hospital. It means that they planted a spy in his hospital, a very close spy.“How did this happen?” He whispered to Stanley as Stanley walked closer and stood beside him.“I can’t tell.” He shook his head. “They rushed in here as if we stole their belongings.” He explained dramatically.“Madam Harriet, I see you can’t do without offending me.” He broke the unbearable silence as they turned to him. “Are you so afraid of me that you can’t breathe?” He raised a brow with a hitch of mockery lingering in his voice.“At least I don’t want us to breath the same air since you don’t deserve it.” She said disdainfully and he smirked.“Richester, I knew you were up to no good.” Louis's voice came up after being silent all this w
Damien came downstairs with his suitcase in his hand, he also struggled to adjust his tie as Stella rushed downstairs like someone who was being chased.“Dammy.” For the first time, she sweetly called Damien. He wasn’t surprised because he expected it, a small smirk rested on his lips as he faced her though it vanished immediately.“What has come over you this morning?” He said as if he was getting annoyed.“I’m sorry to sound this way but please, I need your help.” Stella began, her eyes desperately begging him to at least listen to her.“What can I help you with? I thought you had everything? What is it this time, Stella?” He sighed heavily, trying to brush her away but she grabbed his arms with seriousness permeated in her eyes.Then he knew he had gotten her and it was time for him to slowly strike.“Help me.” She cried out and sobbed. “Mum is about to disown me which means she will be chasing me out of the hospital.” She began. “I need your help in terms of mental and financial s
Raymond’s eyes rolled around the entire cafe. He was still in doubt that somewhere so quiet and amazing existed even though he had stayed in the city for a very long time and had no idea about it.“Sir, do you want anything?” The waitress approached him after he had settled down and he shook his head.“Later, I’m waiting for someone else.” He waved his hand in the air.The cool music filtered in the air as his eyes continued wandering, admiring the small cafe. It was obviously for couples based on the theme, the style of the pastries, and other cuisines.And at the entrance, there was a big clipboard that was labeled couple board, it had pictures that were taken by the staff to paste on the board. Raymond shook his head in disbelief.He was dating a man. His love is a man and they planned to meet here for the weekend as a couple dating.He sighed heavily and diverted his eyes outside, and through the transparent window, he saw Seven approaching the cafe.Why wouldn’t he fall in love w
