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
41. Richard came back after two days from LA after making sure that May did her job well. It's not that he doubted her capability but he wanted to make sure that every member of the Four Ninjas mafia organisation had been taken care of.The elders of the organisation knew why and they didn't complain. They were lucky that Richard didn't touch their bank accounts. That would be a lasting example to those who thought that he had lost his touch. When he came back home, there was an additional suit in his closet. He noticed it right away because it looked like a misplaced colour in the sea of black and white. It was royal blue. He went to see what it was and his face looked shocked when he saw a second one: maroon. He wondered whether someone had made a mistake and he walked towards the back of the mansion where he had been told Melvin and Macy were. He saw them talking seriously and he walked slowly without making any noise to see what they were so engrossed in. "So, you do it
42.Macy sat with Melvin at a corner as Melvin trembled and cried."It's okay baby. We'll be okay. Shh! Don't cry. It will be okay," Macy soothed the young girl and all that time, Cassy was looking at them. "Who are you?" She asked Macy because she could tell that these two had a close relationship. "Oh, me? No one. I am just an employee of the Armstrong family and I have been taking care of the little miss here," Macy answered. What Cassandra realised was that this girl didn't have any fear in her eyes. "Then, why risk your life for her? Do they pay you enough?" Cassy continued asking. "It's not about pay ma'am. It's about the relationship I have with Melvin," Macy answered as she continued soothing the young girl. "Hey you, come here," Cassandra called to Melvin. Melvin either did not hear her or she ignored her. "Melvin, your mother is calling you. Come here,"Cassy repeated again and again, the young girl ignored her. "How dare you! My life is a living hell because of you.
43.Richard was dying from the inside and thinking of a thousand ways in which he could make Cassy suffer. He knew that she had changed from the woman he fell in love with but he hadn't known how much. It never occurred to him that she had the guts to kidnap Melvin after everything he had done to them. This time, he was going to erase them off of the face of earth, literally. As he boarded the military grade helicopter, he couldn't wait to get his hands on Cassandra.He just hoped that both Macy and melvin were okay. He really hoped that Macy was strong enough to deal with whichever people who were still in the jet.But what Cassandra did not know was that after almost losing Melvin that day she had been locked in the utility room with Macy, he had put a tracking device on her.He could tell where they were in the air and where they were headed. As Cassandra thought she had everything under control, Richard had already started deploying people ready for action. His first missi
44.Richard was waiting for Michael's call. He wanted to be the one to take caren of Cassy.He really didn't want to hurt her but he remembered the time he tried to beg her to stay and she did not care to listen.When Richard and Cassy met, she was the sweetest girl ever.She fell in love with him despite the fact that he was just a waiter in a small cafe.Richard remembers that she lost several of her friends due to her decision to marry him.The day she accepted his proposal was the happiest of his life.The life Richard lived before he met Cassy didn't encourage one to have a family.This is because he knew that he would be putting them in danger the way it was right now with everyone trying to hurt Melvin.He thus never thought of getting a partner or getting married let alone having a child.But after that mission where he was betrayed and almost killed and managed to save himself with multiple injuries, he decided to leave his life as an assassin ans live a normal life.After hi
After that incident and Richard making sure that he took care of the human organ traffickers, life continued as usual.But what he wanted to deal with was the teacher who let Cassandra take Melvin away.According to the school rules, only the people the parent had authorized could take a child out of the school gate.Richard had authorized himself, Macy, Asher and her grandparents.He knew that if Cash or May ever went to the school, they would be accompanying any of the people he had authorized.So, how come that she allowed Cassandra to take the child?Richard was a man who was very very patient.Like a snake and a frog hunting each other, he could also wait.But when he striked, he would make sure that the enemy felt it.He thus pretended all was well and he returned the child to school and made sure that his instructions were understood.He threatened the teacher that if that happens again, he would have the school closed.It was a privately owned school but the family wasn't as r
Richard and Asher both stopped but did not look at the woman."Are you very hungry?" She asked Richard asked his brother seriously ignoring what she was saying.He treated her like she was air."Yes, I didn't have a chance to take lunch," Asher replied getting what his brother was doing."Okay. Let's go eat and rest, we will return again tomorrow," Richard said and took two steps towards the door."Please, please I beg you.If you take that money, my mother will die.I will tell the truth.Anything you want to know," the woman shouted with all her bravery gone.She was not the composed woman of a few minutes ago who was wearing a courageous facade."Talk," Richard said still standing near the door as he turned slowly to face her."My mother.... *sniff, sniff* my mother is very sick.She has been diagnosed with stage two colon cancer and she is bedridden since she can't sit or stand.She needs an urgent surgery and my insurance is not enough to cover her.I told it to my director, Ian
