"What is happening here?" Camille had finally remembered he was to pick Ric at the entrance and had rushed over. Good thing he only met the end of things."Ask your guests." Frank shrugged before tossing the gun in his hand at Camille's feet."This not some shooting range, why did you bring a gun along?" Camille paled at the sight of the gun at his feet."I didn't, just borrowed it from one of them so like I said before 'Ask your guests.' Will you?" Frank lied.He never went anywhere fully armed with more than just a pistol even when he wore just a polo shirt and combat shorts.Frank wasn't exactly the careless type and he wasn't going to take chances with the young Master at all."Please no weapons allowed inside." Camille put his hands together and beckoned on them that was when he noticed the three wounded men."Oh shit!" His eyes widened in shock alarmed."Y'all already had a complete show down didn't you?" Camille looked to all of them and Frank smiled politely."I already told y
Inside the Conover Club, Ric and two others were seen at a table. Ric sat quietly and observed the event. The Grahams had lavishly spent on the drinks and food there was more than enough to go round yet Ric was not bothered with eating anything."Will you just sit there and act like you don't want to have a taste of these luxury dishes?" Alessandro found Ric on the table where he sat and taunted him.Ric did not waste his time to look up at Alessandro, he was more concerned about the feedback from the assignment Melissa was working on."Come on, don't act all busy. We all know just how jobless you are since you can't secure a job be a of your status as Ex convict." Alessandro intentionally let out this information and just like he anticipated, the people seated on the table with Ric exchanged uncomfortable glances."Is he really an Ex convict?""The man seems to be ignoring him, he may be bluffing.""He didn't deny it, maybe it's true."The couple were not comfortable with the knowled
"Please don't let them take Father, please do something. He's all the family has got, the family business would crash in his absence if they take him away for a month." Melissa, Ric's wife cried to her husband.Melissa's desperate plea tugged at Ric's heartstrings. Ric's deep love for Melissa fueled his determination to bring peace to her distressed heart. Despite enduring mistreatment as a live-in son-in-law, his commitment to their relationship remained unwavering, he had always loved her whole heartedly. "Please Ric, it's just going to be a month and you'll be granted the opportunity for bail and Dad will get you out of there, please!" Melissa sobbed even harder as she asked the impossible from Ric."In that month, Dad's campaign would be at its peak, if they take him he'd never become Mayor with the record of an Ex convict, please." Despite Melissa's earnest pleas, Ric shook his head in dejection, torn between his love for her and the weight of accepting responsibility for her f
Three hundred million dollars?!Ric was completely shocked, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape. He knew that his Father was a very wealthy man and the Maximiliano family was a very powerful family in Westmoreland county but as a kid he never really understood the concept of wealth and didn't know his father's net worth.Now he understood.If three hundred million dollars was just pocket money, then it meant that the Maximiliano family had a net worth of over three hundred Trillion dollars.Honestly, at this moment he was slightly moved. However, when he remembered his mother and the suffering she had endured with him when they were thrown out of the mansion, he knew he couldn't forgive his Father so easily.When Benhardt saw his frustration, he quickly said "Young Master, this money is yours after all, see it as compensation for all the suffering and humiliation you've had to endure.""Lord Maximiliano has said that if you would accept, he would let you inherit the Five hundred T
When Mr. Lombardi requested for Ric, the cashier immediately motioned for Ric to come to the counter while she returned to the back of the counter. However, when Mr. Lombardi saw Ric he had doubts in his mind but he was a smart man.Mr. Lombardi masked his doubts and greeted Ric in a polite manner. "Good afternoon Sir, I am Lombardi Leones."Ric was a bit embarrassed but he managed to introduce himself "Ric Mariano" Mr. Lombardi was careful to not offend Ric because the Mariano last name was not very popular in Avrilla city and he suspected that Ric may be from a very rich and wealthy family."Mr. Mariano, please how much would you like to withdraw?" The cashier asked roughly, since the card wasn't fake, she was going to humiliate Ric and prove that the card didn't really belong to Ric. "Please call me Ric, I would like to withdraw thirty thousand dollars." Ric immediately added."But the minimum withdrawal with this card is hundred thousand dollars at once" The cashier asked, her s
The Serene Resorts integrated entertainment, dining and accommodation all in one building. Ric admired the different structures as he made his way to the reception area."Sir, excuse me Sir!" Ric was stopped by a few beautiful ladies when he entered the reception area."Do you have a reservation here Sir?" One of the ladies asked immediately as she took in Ric's appearance. These ladies were responsible for handling the reception duty and they were used to receiving a lot of Elites.Even though these beautiful ladies had contempt in their look, they were still polite in their speech towards Ric.However, Ric wore very cheap and worn out clothes unlike the Rich and influential people who regularly visited."I didn't reserve a place here myself but a friend of mine did." Ric answered as he smiled.At this time he observed the beautiful ladies and observed the high standards of the Serene Resorts. He finally understood why this hotel was one of the biggest luxuries in Avrilla city.The
Ordinarily Rose would have left out the detail of the poor man who tried to feel rich but she felt like if she told Mr. Rogers about it then he would punish the man further and commend her for handling the situation. This would also give her admiration and confidence from the guests that filled the lobby at this time.However, when Ric was brought before Johnson, he was bleeding from his nose and mouth and he was barely able to stand from all the beating. Mr. Johnson was shocked to see who the man Rose was referring to was. Ric had a striking resemblance with his father and Johnson immediately recognized him.Johnson Rogers had diligently served Lord Maximilanno during his stay in Westmoreland county that when Johnson relocated to Avrilla city, Lord Maximilanno had put him in charge of most of his property in the city. That was how Johnson became a very Rich and influential man in Avrilla city."Excuse me Sir, Are you Mr. Ric Maximilanno?" Johnson asked Ric.Although Ric looked nothi
When the door to the Chairman suite was pushed open, about five or six beautiful ladies walked in.It was Rose and the other receptionists.At this time they were looking at Ric with a very different expression on their faces other than the contemptuous looks they had on earlier.Rose was also smiling very charmingly as she said "Mr. Maximilanno, I am very sorry for the misunderstanding earlier.""Sorry, Mr. Maximilanno!"The other beautiful ladies immediately added."What do you want? Why are you here?" Ric dried his short black hair with one of the white towels.Honestly, even though Rose and the other ladies had looked down on him earlier at the reception, he held no grudge against them save for Rose who had categorically instructed the guards to beat him up.He just didn't like that they could easily judge and mistreat someone because of their physical appearance.It was obvious that Johnson had already cautioned these beautiful ladies sternly."We are here to accompany you and wo
