Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Mission
22.It had been a week and Macy was back to work and Richard was just there smoothing things out for the Dragon Empire without much to do. His days were low key as he supervised his daughter's meals, her meds, which had reduced and he was happy that she was good, supervising her homeschooling, playing for her, going to the office for a few hours and then coming back home to play with her. He didn't want to inconvenience Macy by sending Melvin to her because he knew that she is busy getting ready for the upcoming shooting. May had managed to infiltrate the crew by pretending to be Macy's assistant. From the report he got from May, Angela was fuming. She wondered how and why Macy got an assistant. She, Angela, was the one allowed to assign one to her and since, according to Angela, Macy wasn't a star like her, she didn't need an assistant. Thus, Angela asked May to leave because she won't be paid and Macy said that she was there because she was Macy's friend and had decided to help

De La Paz wasn't like how Richard expected a capital city to look like. It was a run down town that didn't qualify to be called so. It looked like it had been a thriving town once but had been run down over time. It was like no one invested in real estate industry in this city for from this side of the town, there weren't any new buildings around. Ever heard a capital city devoid of at least one sky scraper? Yeah, that was De La Paz for you. 'Wow! This is the worst president even. Some countries should come and see this so as to appreciate what they have,' Richard thought as he walked around. He wondered how these people had survived this far. In a country with less than twenty million people in total, he expected better. No wonder the population was declining every year. People of Dela Lucia didn't want to give birth and now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he could tell why. From the report on this country that he read on his way here, he could tell that the youthful popul

"So, you are telling me Dog sent you?" President Antonio asked for the third time as he looked at the documents this Kano guy came with. If this was anything to go with, then he was even qualified than Dog was. But what Antonio didn't get was why Dog never talked about this... what did he say? "How did you say you are related to Dog again?" Antonio asked. "His mother, Maria De Santos, was my mother's cousin. My mother and her family migrated to Africa when my father got a job in Kenya. That's where I have grown up in," Kano said in a heavy African accent which was funny but cause he was so white. "But you look nothing African. In fact, if I am not mistaken, you look,... you look...," Antonio seemed to think trying to place the face. "Oh, sorry I forgot to tell you. I am half Latin and half Greece. My father was, is, Greece. I seem to have taken my father's face than my mother's. Also, going to school in Kenya gave me the African accent. And that's why I also speak Swahili," Kano

Meanwhile.... In a cafe in Washington, Macy was taking her morning coffee while she talked to May. Up until now, she didn't believe that she had an assistant who didn't ask for anything. May usually said that she was working for the experience. "Don't worry about money. I have enough to get me by. I just need the experience," she would always say. May not only cared as an assistant but also as a body guard. Since May joined her, life got easier. It had been a few days into the filming and Macy was yet to get to filming as they started with the main leads parts. "Today is the first day to start shooting. How do you feel?" May asked as they took their coffee and croissants."Truthfully May, I am nervous as hell. Not because of the cameras, no. I have been in front of enough though as a double stunt mainly, but this is my first major role. I really don't know how to feel. Also, I'm nervous because I don't know who the investor who asked for me is. Why did they ask for me specificall

The director returned after a few minutes and he was followed by four men. One looked like the boss and the tiger three like his body guards. "Everyone, please meet Mr Queen Gray. He is the investor who gave us twenty million for the movie," the director introduced and his brow was sweating. It was clear that he wasn't ready for the impromptu visit of the rich manMurmurs started going around the people who were there."Do you know him?" "No. I have never heard of him either.""Macy, do you know him?" Another actress seated next to Macy asked. "Never even heard of the name Queen Gray," Macy said. "Mr Director, may I see the script. Where are you shooting today?" The man, Mr Queen, asked and the director rushed to give him a script and a chair was provided for him. "Here. We are at scene ten of act one," the director said as he opened the script. "Okay, let's see what you all are doing," Mr Queen said as he made himself comfortable. The director briefed him about the movie in ge
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir What good luck? or, was it?
What made Richard good at what he did were a lot of things. One, he worked alone. This meant that there were no chances of being betrayed by anyone like what happened last time when he was forced to work as a group. Working alone made him efficient and minimized risks. Two, he was the master of disguise. He could turn to anyone whenever the situation called for it. Then, he was never afraid of a challenge. He loved what he did and facing a challenge even if it was scaling mountains or walking for miles or going without food, he could take them all. That was what was happening right now. After he left State House, the first thing he did was ditch the disguise he was wearing as Kano and go to the hotel he was staying at and check out. After that, he dumped the vehicle he took because he knew driving a government vehicle would sell him out. After that, he entered a public toilet and he came out as an American who was there for tour. He wanted to go around Dela Lucia and see the famo
Burning with vengeance: The runaway heir Inside
He was finally inside the bunkers and that was when he realised that it was bigger than he could have expected and there were many rooms there. He figured that it was like a small skyscraper but built downwards instead of upwards. He wondered how he was to know which room belonged to him and he came up with a plan.He sneezed loudly and swayed. "Oh, Bluecomb, are you okay?" One of the soldiers coming from the duty with him asked. "No. I... I... Can't walk," he said weakly still pretending to be sick. "Okay, let me take you to our room then. I will help steady you," the soldier said and Richard thought 'fuck!' He hadn't banked on the fact that they were sharing rooms. But that wouldn't be an hindrance at all. He was going to work around it. They walked slowly and then came to a lift. They took the lift and it had no numbers on it. The man who seems to be this leader produced a card from his inner jacket and put it on a slot on the inside of the elevator and it clicked and starte

Then it occurred to him. He was dressed like a soldier here and he was even in a mask and no one could tell who her was. He could thus understand why the General looked at him like that. "General, I am a friend. I have been sent here to come and rescue you," Richard said and the General didn't relent. Richard understood because he, too, couldn't trust just anybody because they said they were 'a friend'."Code?" The General asked. "Dragon," Richard answered simply and he finally saw the other man relax and sigh I'm relief. "Ah! Finally! Took you guys long enough. I almost thought that that motherfucker in the oval forgot bout me. I thought I was dead. They pumped me with so much drugs I don't even know whether this is me speaking or not," the general, Jose Maria Luis, said as he made himself comfortable on the small bed. "What type of drugs?" Richard asked. "All types. Cocaine, mandrax, heroin and others I can't even name. I even think I'm hooked now," the General replied. "How d

128. By the time Richard and Macy were done with entertaining the guests, time was far much spent.They thus decided to retire to their room and then leave for their honeymoon the next morning. Richard carried Macy across the threshold as was traditionally unacceptable for a groom to let his wife to enter the door walking in her first day as a wedded wife.Macy was so happy that she felt as if whatever she had going through was being compensated. By the time Richard was placing her on the bed that had been decorated with red roses, her ribs were tired from all the laughing.She was happy.She had two children and a man who adored her. She could not ask for more. “Do you want to take a bath first?” Richard asked her after helping her take off the high heeled shoes she had been wearing.“Yes. I will go first,” she told him.“Okay. I will help you prepare the bathtub," he offered."No. That's okay. I want to have a shower because I am tired. I just want to lay down,” she said and he n

127. The moment was intimate and all Richard could see was Macy. He didn't want to think of everyone gathered in the hall because he hated crowds and the reason why he did all this was for her.Another reason he held this wedding on an island was to make sure that not many people attended.The air was charged with excitement as those gathered waited to hear what Richard would say. Some wondered if it would be as heart touching as Macy's or if it would be blunt. As Richard took a deep breath, the crowd fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. He turned to Macey, her eyes sparkling with joy, and began to speak the words he had carefully crafted in his heart. “Macy,” he started, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion, “from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. You are my rock, my confidante, and my greatest adventure. With you, I have found a love that I never knew existed.”Tears glimmered in Macey’s eyes as Richard continued, recountin

Please find it in your heart to forgive us," Mrs Phillips said and Macy just stood there both embarrassed and angry.She wondered why they had to make a scene even though she had allowed them in.“We are also thankful that you allowed us to your wedding. Thank you so much darling," her father added.“Just sit and let us continue," Macy said feeling all embarrassed because there were other people in the hall who weren't family and although it wasn't a secret now after the live broadcast of Angela washing her dirty linen in public that these people had neglected their own daughter and nurtured the one who had killed their own son, she wasn't ready to deal with them.This was supposed to be her day and not theirs.“No, darling. We won't sit unless you say that you have forgiven us," her mother, Mrs Phillips, said and she sighed.“You do realise that today is supposed to be about me and not you, right?" Macy asked the two wh

125. Macy couldn't believe that this day was here. All her life ever since she found out that she had slept with a stranger and got pregnant, she never thought that she would ever get a man to love her but here she was.Not only did this man love her but was also the father of her child-ren.She followed Richard's footsteps until they came to the raised dais where her brother, Asher, May, Mel and Jared were standing.For the first time ever, Macy got to see May in a flowing dress.She had always seen May with leather pants or jeans pants and leather jackets. But now, she really looked like a girl.Macy stood on the left side of Richard where she was directed and they faced the people.She hadn't gotten the time to look at this place since they obviously had got there at night and she hadn't gone around since, well, she was getting ready for this.The hall wasn't as big and she even didn't know that they were on an island but she felt the waves hit rocks and she, at first, thought that

124. Life is a blessing and we only have one of it. In this life, we have plenty of challenges and heartbreaking events that we at times feel like we won't be able to move on from but as long as we have theones we love right beside us it makes it all worth it.One of life's gifts is finding someone you can share the rest of your life with, someone who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for who you arenot what you have.Richard had found such a person who was currently lying in his arms. He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this woman and no one else. As he lay on the bed his gaze lingered on Macy with a hard to describe smile on his face. He couldn't believe that he had been this lucky.He also smiled when he remembered when he was drugged by his brother. He almost killed his brother but now, he was happy and he would even reward Asher with the latest Tesla that he had been asking for.They had arrived at his uncle's villa on the Indi

It wasn't that Macy wasn't ready it was just that she had just been informed by her man that they were leaving in an hour's time and they were going for a vacation. “What should I carry? Why didn't you tell me at least yesterday and I would have gotten ready!" She had complained wondering where to start. “Don't worry about that. It was a surprise and we already packed for you. All we want is for you to go with us," he has said and the children had beamed. “Yes ma, just wear something and let's leave. This will be my first vacation with my real family," Jared had urged and that was how Macy had found herself getting ready and now, she was wondering what to wear because she had even forgotten to ask where they were going. “Where are we going again? What do I wear?" She shouted from her bedroom and Richard shouted back, “just wear anything. One of those cute dresses of yours.” "Yes mama. The

122. Since Macy said yes to marrying Richard and they got their boy back, Richard had become like Macy's second cloth.He would be wherever she was and if he wasn't lying on her if she was sitting, he would be touching her here and there provided he could feel her.He even spent his days in the studio watching her film but Macy didn't mind although people started talking.For the first time, the mysterious first son of the Armstrong family started showing up in public.This clingy behaviour went on for a month though it wasn't as severe as before. He stopped following a lot but he would casually send cute texts and pictures whenever they were apart.All of a sudden, the ice cube who had no social media accounts created them and shared with the world that he was the happiest man alive.His IG moments were always filled with things like 'My Beautiful fiancè made me breakfast today #inlove' followed by a picture. Sometimes it was random pictures of Macy doing the most regular of things

"A wedding?" Ash asked, low-set ginger brows furrowing even deeper."Why so fast?" He shouted this time."A wedding," Richard said with a slow grin,and a collective set of gasps filled theair. "I'm gonna marry her on the thirtyfirst this month. I want to belong to her, legally. I want to say those vows you see in movies, to give her not just my mind and body and heart, but the very essence of my soul. I want to give it all since I'm in this relationship for the forever haul.""Er, a-a-actually, uh," Kyle stammered, looking flustered, "well, um... y-yeah,we could do that. But don't you think that we could give my sister some time to prepare? She is a girl and they tend to want everything to be meticulous," he said and they all looked at him.Dinner had been eaten and now, then men were in the pool room playing pool whole the women were somewhete catching up.Richard had just dropped the bomb that he wanted to marry Macy by the end of the month which was like a week and a few day
