Richester followed Seven’s lead into the hideous warehouse, it was a little bit dark aside from the burning woods that made the space bright.“He will be here shortly, master.” Seven informed him politely. “Raymond and I will be on standby.” Seven bowed and left the warehouse with Raymond who really had no idea of what was happening.Though Richester had appointed Seven to brief him of the ongoing matters and schedules.“You are here, sir.” The underground investigator came out from the dark place that was foggy because of the smoke made by the woods.Richester stepped backward stylishly. “You must be M, my old lady told me about you.” He tucked his hands into his trouser pocket.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Richester.” He grinned. “It’s been a while since I saw the heir of the Rich enterprises up close, you were three or there about.” The man laughed a belly laugh.“Can we go straight to the point?” He scoffed, rolling his eyes away from the man.“Madam Pia gave me the order to investigate
“Mr. Richester. I look forward to doing business with you.” Richester shook hands with his new India investor as they sealed the contract.He left the upper room and prepared to return back home since his schedule for the day was over.He was tired and stressed, he wanted to return home and dispatch all his thoughts in an available vase called a dream.Maybe not much but the fact that he saw his woman - his lover - with another man kept him on his heels. He would bear anyone but not overbearing Lorenzo who was all over the place.“Master, do you want anything for dinner so I can ask the kitchen to prepare it?” Seven asked as they entered the elevator.“Boss, how about I make a reservation at your favorite hotel? I heard your favorite meal is also trending on their menu.” Raymond suggested nervously.Inwardly, Richester knew he had two choices to make and rejecting one would make them feel bad. He wasn’t ready to start playing a hanky panky emotional game with them.“I will take care o
“Where is my mother?” Stella asked the servant that was in the living room.“She left a few minutes ago with some people.” The servant informed her politely.“Go ahead.” She waved at the servant and the servant bowed before leaving.For some reason, instead of walking freely in her mother’s house, Stella started leaping and walking suspiciously as she stepped into her mother’s room. Damien saw her as soon as he was coming out from their bedroom but he was in a business call that was why he didn’t follow or call her out.“It should be somewhere.” She bit her lips with her hand on her head as she started thinking wide. Then, her eyes drifted down to her mother’s stamp that was lying on the table - connected with a mirror.“Perfect.” She grinned happily as she shuffled through until she found an A4 paper, she used her mother’s pen and placed the clean sheet on the paper that had her mother’s handwriting.“Slow and steady - -” She mumbled as she carefully tried to fake her mother’s handwr
Richester stepped down from the car, advancing into Rich Hospital with pride. The reporters and paparazzi were still in his office, pressuring him to give responses to their questions but his guards took care of them as he entered the reception.He didn't bother to meet the nurse at the front desk this time around since Raymond had decided to take care of his schedules in the hospital."What's on today's list?" His hands were tucked in his trouser pocket with his attention on the phone he was operating."Diagnosis medication for patient in room 324 and surgery by 12pm" Raymond said professionally as it was time for business.Meanwhile, Seven walked behind them waiting for his turn so he could act smart the way Raymond was doing."Richester." He stopped as he heard his name, the person was standing adjacent to him which made him turn.His eyes quivered a bit when he saw Amanda. She was holding his favorite flower and also a pretty red dress."Amanda?" He raised a brow in astonishment.
"I want you in my study room, Richester." Pia said to him seriously and he followed her immediately with no delay.He respected her since she was the only family he had, especially since she was nice to him.Her study was not so big but comfortable and nice. With the look and state, it was obvious that the study room had a lot of memories from both past and present."Grandma, hope all is well?" He broke the deadly silence as his grandmother was busy admiring the books in her library."Rich - -" She placed the book on her desk and approached him. "There is a favor I want you to do for me." Her voice became less hostile and filled with respect.He quickly bowed: "You can ask me for anything, Granny." He said."Get married to a friend's daughter. She will be your shield and armor." She said seriously and Richester scoffed.He was taken aback by her sudden offer."Grandma!" He called her seriously to get her attention and sense back in order but it seems she was more serious than he was.
Richester was in the living room when Stewart walked in, he bowed. Shortly afterwards, his grandmother followed suit."You're here." Her voice was smooth and lively."Grandma." He made advances to stand but she flicked her hand in the air and he sat down."There is something I want you to meet." She smiled sweetly and bent over to him. "The lady to your shocking tides." Followed by her words in whispering form.His eyes wide open as Stewart ushered a lady in and the lady turned out to be Zoey. He scoffed and cleaned his eyes as it was as though life was toying with him."Zoey?" He sprouted out of shock and his grandmother's gaze widened."Oh? You know her?" Her stare was anxious and intent."Of course." Zoey approached them, walking elegantly.That was it, back again to steal timid Richester's heart.What confused him mostly was the fact that he saved Zoey's father's life and now he turned out to be his number one pest? He continued sighing and laughing at himself all these while, as
"Must you show yourself even to the new guy?" Stewart's voice could be heard from the hallway and it seemed like he was scolding someone.Raymond had no choice but to listen to them since there was nothing on his table."I didn't do anything." Seven shrugged. "We only went shopping together." He lowered his face."Wasn't that how it started between you and Mark?" Stewart raised a brow. "Have you forgotten?" He inquired disgustingly."But I didn't do anything, Stewart." Seven tried to be defensive, protect himself but Stewart knew he was only being ridiculous."Mark got fired because of you and if you want to repeat your mistake, you will get fired this time." Stewart warned him and attempted to leave but Seven's statement stopped him."What's going on?" Raymond mumbled in a low voice as he tried to ascertain what was happening. He couldn't see them except from the voices he was hearing. He knew it was Stewart and Seven but didn't know what they were talking about."Is it my fault?" Se
“Stella, I have warned you severally to stop getting ahead of yourself.” Madam Harriet scorned her. “Do you know what you cost me?” She raised a brow, staring at her daughter in disgust.“I don’t understand you anymore.” Stella shook her head in disbelief. “When did you turn into a murderer?” She asked in annoyance and Madam Harriet approached her, lifting her chin with a finger.“Better keep your mouth shut and stop rapping! It can cost you your life.” Madam Harriet barked.She was scared and tried to push Stella’s mind from following up the case because she knew her daughter might end up losing her life.“I want nothing but an explanation as to why you did what you did.” Stella curled her lips and her mother fling her face away, walking away from her.“Stella, I think it’s time you go for vacation with your dear husband.” Madam Harriet exhaled sharply and immediately Stella sprang up from the seat.“Mother!” She cried out in disbelief.The fact that her dear mother had changed overn
