As May and Macy were setting up Angela, Richard had just arrived home and he was playing with his girl. They both had missed each other so much and Melvin couldn't be happier. She had a bucket load of information to tell her father. Her uncle Asher was busy stealing an election and he thus couldn't make it. Richard wanted to make sure that Asher did it before he went back and made sure that General Jose became the president and eliminated any person who would have thought of playing foul. On the set of the movie Major Calamities, investigations were underway and the props manager had been arrested as he tried to flee the country. He had run away immediately when the first bomb detonated and he knew that if the one Macy was holding was to go off, he would be arrested for murder. In short, he had grown cold feet at the last moment. Reports from the bomb experts had already revealed where the bombs had been bought and with the help of the props manager who agreed to act as a state
As would have been expected, Richard heard about all that had happened to Macy and the bomb thing from May and his brother. He had asked people to investigate Macy's and like his brother had said, she wasn't liked by her family and the sole reason was Angela. What Richard couldn't understand was whether the family was full of idiots or what. Any sane person could see that all what was happening to Macy were a series of setups. But no one in the family cared. Richard also wondered why he was so interested in the girl. He justified his actions by telling himself that Macy was Melvin's friend and she wanted the other girl to be okay and happy for Mel's sake. It had been a week since he returned and Asher was done. Antonio, the president of Dela Lucia, had been arrested on crimes of Human Rights and he had been taken to an international jail that was not disclosed to anyone for security reasons. Richard needed to go back once again so as to make sure that General Jose became the pre
Macy got out of the washrooms in a splint as she held Melvin under her arms. She then saw two men standing on the corridor that led the way they were going. She knew that she couldn't confront them in combat as she didn't want to take her eyes off the girl. She ran and the two men produced guns and aimed at her. When they thought that she was going for them, Macy changed her path abruptly and entered the men's washrooms.They hadn't expected that as they were waiting for her. She entered and immediately locked it from the inside. She looked at something that could help her block the door for a while and she didn't see anything. "Baby, you see those bad guys out there, they want to hurt me and I want you to help me. Will you help me?" Macy asked Melvin as she moved around. Melvin nodded her head. She wasn't worried because she wasn't even crying. "Daddy said that I shouldn't be afraid of bad guys because he will get them and punish them. I will help you and we will tell daddy s
The whole of that night, Richard didn't sleep. One, he wanted to keep an eye on Melvin and Macy. He knew that Melvin must have been shaken by what happened and Macy needed to go to work the following morning. But he has Asher call the director to ask for a two day's leave for her. "Do not worry second young master, with Macy's acting, we have saved more time than we thought necessary. I will, in fact, give the whole crew two days off. So won't have missed anything," the Director said cheerfully and Asher was happy. At least he didn't have to face his brother's hurricane with bad news. Another thing that was keeping Richard awake was the fact that Cash was in the hospital. Cash was one of his best. For someone to put him in the hospital, they must have been good. May had been dispatched to go and investigate those who wanted to harm them. At around midnight, she came back and she found Richard in the sitting room of this mansion. "How was it?" Richard asked even before she cou
37.Macy talked nonstop all through breakfast. She told her after about all the places she has went to with her grandmother, her classes, and how she visited Macy. She then narrated how they ran from those bad people and went to the air vent. She described Macy as if she were describing a superhero. It was a nice breakfast as as they were eating, Richard received a call from one of his men telling him that Cash was finally up. Richard wanted to hear Cash's side of the story. This was because Cash was among his best and he knew that for him to get hurt, there must have been an expert among the group. Richard wanted to know who this expert was so that he could give them a personal visit. "Mel, will play with auntie for a while as I go to work for a bit?" Richard asked and Melvin was anything Hut happy. It was like she didn't like him anymore and all she wanted was Macy. "Is it okay?" He asked Macy and Macy just smoked and nodded. "It's okay sir. Take your time," she said as she
38.Macy was left with a lot of thoughts. Yes, she understood that Angela was after her life but she loved that it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. She was ready ever since she decided to leave for home from China. She was ready to handle her so-called family and all. What she hadn't banked on was meeting Richard. The first young master to the Armstrong empire. At first, Macy didn't even know who he was and she had to do her research after meeting him at the hospital for the first time after seeing him with Asher and seeing how Asher worshipped him. Asher was a very well known figure in DC for he was in the entertainment industry and headed one of the entertainment industries in the state. Thus, when Macy found out who he was and saw how mysterious he was, she didn't know how to behave. She thus did what she could do in such a situation: hide and make sure never to meet with him again. She couldn't afford to offend the likes of Richard. No. What she hadn't planned for was
Macy sighed and looked at this so-called sister of hers. She smiled because she could read the other girl's thoughts. Angela has never been happy since she found that she was not a Philips by blood. Since Macy came to live with them, she made it her mission to make Macy's life miserable and she succeeded. It was like torturing and humiliating Macy was her favourite pastime entertainment.Macy remembered this one time their father's company was having an end of year celebration for all employees and investors because they had made a huge profit turnover that year. As was given, the whole of the Philips family had to be there because this was a family company and by then, it hadn't been made public. Angela was asked by their mother to help Macy choose a dress for the occasion. She did and asked Macy to keep it hidden as a surprise to the family during the D-day. Macy going the innocent country girl she was and she didn't know anything about version, and being very trusting, belie
"Did yours get lost?" Macy asked her as she followed the manger who was walking towards the cashier to swipe the card. "Excuse me miss. Everyone holding the black platinum card is our VIP and I won't allow any disrespect to any of our customers. Please choose what you want to buy or walk out and let the others shop in peace," the manager said and Macy was both smiling and crying from the inside. Happy because she had put Angela at her place and crying because she had just used Richard's card. She had even forgotten about it until Angela mocked her and everyone had their pride. But what to do? The clothes belonged to him anyway. Angela and her minions walked out in a humph and Macy knew that it won't end well. She didn't want to put Melvin at a risk and she decided to go straight home and continue playing with the girl there. "Baby, we will go back home and then we will do something fun there. Okay?" She asked and Mel nodded with a smile. She had enjoyed herself and she was rea
