“I know you have gotten to some classes but do you now come to places like this?” Stella scoffed in surprise.“Who brought you here? This is not a place for slum men.” She spat at his face disrespectfully.“Have you started again? I’m reserving my comment because today is a good day and I have a date.” He said boldly.“A date?” Stella laughed. “You? Who would go out with you?” Stella questioned disgustingly as she rolled her eyes all over him.“Mr. Richester or whatever you call yourself, you have no reservation here.” The receptionist began. “Please leave before I call the security.” She said conclusively.Stella couldn’t help but laugh as she pompously placed her debit card on the counter.“What is going on here?” A voice came from behind them and each step that the woman took, the sound of her heels could be heard. They turned.“Boss.” The receptionist bowed courteously while trembling.“I asked a question, didn’t I?” The woman made a comeback.Richester had to steal a glance from
“Zoey…” He grabbed her hand. “Please, I want you to answer me.” He said and they locked eyes.“Do you mean you don’t love me? If I don’t have money, you won’t look at me?” He asked seriously and desperately with his eyes begging for a second chance.He loved her so much and he was also at the mercy of the system.“No, I don’t.” she said vividly, so deep that the statement echoed in his head and like someone who’s lifeless, he let go of her hands.“But you assigned me to your father, you always treated me nice even before I bought the hospital, you were good to me and you trusted me. How come?!” He didn’t know when he raised his voice at her.“I don’t love you and I never will.” She said seriously as she picked her handbag and stormed out of the suite.“[Mission Failed!]” The computerized voice said with some things flashing in his eyes.“[Punishment: Loss of Hearing and Deduction of 1.5 Million.” It continued speaking.“What?” Richester placed his hands on his head as he screamed.“Th
“Your suit is fake, that’s what I said.” Richester looked fearless, he was alone since Amanda had to find space for two inside the canteen.She was a regular thus she felt they might make an exception.“What do you mean? This suit is the most expensive in the world, the name is Brioni Vanquish II, worth over $43,000. It was imported from Germany in the largest ship unit. Are you mad?” Leonard was pissed, he was more annoyed since everyone was staring at them.“I know and I understand how you feel but, this is a cheap suit. It’s fake and I know.” He said vividly, walking closer to Leonard.One thing Richester was good at was also knowing a good outfit even at first glance. He has worn cheap outfits a lot and could tell what it looks like even from a distance.“And what if it isn’t fake? I would definitely put you behind bars.” Leonard said in anger.“Call my tailor!” Leonard instructed his PA and the PA quickly took out his phone to make a call.“There’s no need for that.” Richester sa
It was Saturday and like the entire city emptied in Mandela’s hospital. The patients were rambling with complaints, some doctors and nurses rushed in with the rolling bed and sick patients. The hospital was filled with sorrowful activities. “What’s my schedule for today?” Richester asked as his eyes wandered around each sick looking patient. “Nothing.” the nurse informed him. “What do you mean nothing? I wasn’t fixed in the OR, ER, OB GYN or any?” He asked seriously because he felt he needed to be useful since the patients were more. “I said nothing, sir. Kindly return back home." The nurse’s voice sounded polite but her facial expression was obviously mocking him. “I’m not leaving, I’m afraid.” He said curtly as he left her desk and returned to his office. Richester had already put on his doctor coat, he approached the bed that had injured and sick patients lying on it. He pulled the curtain to the left. “Were you assigned to the patient?” John, who was treating a patient nearb
“Do you know her?” Zoey’s voice resonated in the atmosphere since none of them wanted to speak.“Oh, yeah. I do.” Richester nodded, looking confused.“You must be Miss. Zoey, the lady from that night in CQ Hotels.” Amanda curled her lips. “I see you two played the drama very well.” She nodded with her voice filled with disdain.“I don’t seem to know you though.” Zoey shook her head.“It’s alright, I’m already leaving since the place is full.” Amanda said and attempted to leave.“I’m sorry.” That was the only word Richester could process before she left completely.“How come she knows about our meeting in CQ hotel?” Zoey asked, still stealing a glance from Amanda.“She is the owner.” Richester said slyly as he started eating.“Wait, was that Amanda Conrez?” Her eyes were widening and when Richester nodded, she gasped.“What? And you know her? How come, this is insane.” Zoey couldn’t believe her eyes, immediately she grabbed Richester’s hands on the table.“I will love you with all my l
“When I knock, you should open up without asking useless questions.” Madam Harriet barged into his room when he delayed opening up.“How can I help you, ma’am?” He looked at her before checking the time on the wall clock, it was past midnight.“I guess you must have heard our conversation one way or the other, you need to accept your fate and leave.” She began.“Our visitor crave for some midnight snacks, make some and serve them.” She snorted at his face and he smirked in disgust.“Really? Up till now you still have the guts to send me errands like a slave?” He asked in disbelief.“If not a slave, who do you think you are?” She raised a mocking brow and he sighed.“I know I’m nothing compared to all the mother and daughter rich clients but at least you should have respect since I’m a man. You brought another man into this house even when we haven’t settled for divorce and now you are about to turn me into a dandy boy for him.” He almost gasps, shaking his head. “I can’t believe you.”
“I asked a question, didn’t I?” He narrowed his gaze at Raymond. “What is going on?” He questioned seriously with anxiety lancing in his eyes.“It’s --- It’s ----” Raymond has lost his sense of speaking, Stella chuckled as she approached him and slapped a document on his desk.“Mr. Richester, game over.” She said curtly, locking disdainful gaze with him.“What do you mean?” He tried to pick up the document when his phone beeped. It was a text message.[Credit Alert: 1.7 billion Sender: Damien C]“What the---?” He gasped in astonishment.He has never put the hospital up for sale and their shares were ranking high. How come it was bought overnight without his knowledge?He looked at Raymond in anger.“Did you con me?” He asked in disgust with flames of annoyance burning in his eyes.“No sir, I have no idea about this either.” Raymond rattled out, shaking his head.“Then, how come?” He faced Stella again, by this time Damien had already walked up to her.“The deal is done and you don’t n
His head hurt so bad, his eyes were hard to lift and his mouth was sore. He groaned in pain as he used his hand to block the sunray that flashed through from the open window.He wondered where he was, the last thing he remembered was drinking to stupor.Yes! He heard a voice. His eyes finally opened completely and he noticed he was in a massive wide bedroom, lying on a soggy king size bed.“Where am I?” He wondered anxiously as he sat upright on the bed.“[Congratulations, you have unlocked Level 25]” the computerized voice came up, he was a bit startled.“Level 25? How come?” He asked, looking confused.“[The system works with your condition, state of mind and pulse. It was your innermost wish and the system leveled you up. Congratulations again.]” It continued.“You also have to complete your last task to activate this level, officially. You have six days remaining.” it said conclusively.“So, this is my house?” He asked, scanning the entire spacious bedroom.“Yes, it is yours. You
