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
Amanda and Richester were standing on the hotel rooftop, the breeze flushed on their faces. He tucked his hands into his trouser pocket while she folded her arms, none of them were willing to speak to each other.“Amy,” He decided to make the first move since he was the guest.“Don’t call me that.” She shunned him almost immediately. “Amanda, I know no word would be useful to you at this point. I have messed up, I have been stupid and I have hurt you so much, and it’s silly that I can’t explain the difficult situation I’m in. I don’t even have the right to love.” He began dolefully and she gradually faced him. “But I want you to know that everything I did, the way I acted, they were unintentional and I meant no harm.” He informed her sincerely with affection pervading through his eyes.Amanda batted her lashes. “Your sugar-coated words won’t win me over this time.” She said nervously, meanwhile, her walls were slowly crumbling for him.“Amy,” He approached her. “Can you trust me, bel
“So, there is no way I can attain their wealth even after divorce?” Damien stared at his lawyer and the man rubbed his beard.“Of course, you can if you married in court.” The lawyer assured him and he nodded.“It was a court wedding since she remarried.” He began. “I don’t want to continue playing hanky-panky with this bitch.” Damien grunted.“But there are other ways to torment them rather than ending the match quickly.” His lawyer said and he turned to him in full force, he was up for anything that’d make the Mandelas filled with regret.“What are those?” He questioned and immediately, the doorbell rang.Stella strolled into the living room and saw her husband with their lawyer, he was the same lawyer that joined them during their marriage. She was a little bit suspicious but instantly got rid of it because she was in a cheerful mood.“Babe!” He stood up, reacting as though he was surprised. “Why are you back so early?” He questioned anxiously.“Why is the lawyer here?” She ignored
The prisoners who were awaiting judgment while waiting behind the counter formed a straight line. Madam Harriet was part of them and the line was for a selfish reason. “In other to call home.”Madam Harriet noticed that her connection wasn’t helping and she couldn’t break the line. She has been standing for more than three hours, attempting to get a hold of that cramped dirty telephone and call her suckling daughter.They made a deal and it's been more than a week and no one was paying attention to her. She was already hearing rumors and she wanted to leave the counter yet it was impossible.Inwardly, she blamed herself for not taking precautions which led to her doom.She bit her lips in anger at the thought of everyone abandoning her, she didn’t know what to do and there was no way to reach Maximo, Stella was her only hope in getting out of here.“Ward 210!” The officer had to yell at her before she realized that it was her turn to make a call.“I’m sorry.” Madam Harriet has never b
