The young officer suddenly paused as though controlled and his face paled.

“Are you saying?” He didn't dare to complete the statement

“Yes! We're all fired!” The captain screamed in sheer anger as he looked at the young officer.

Ric was a bit surprised by the sudden news but he wasn't in the least concerned about it.

The crowd had suddenly gone silent. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop from miles away.

The officers were all staring at Ric. Everyone was staring at Ric, their mouths wide open and the silence was suddenly broken when a young officer stepped towards Ric, his arms rubbing together in a begging stance.

“Please…” he pleaded, his eyes wide with regret

Ric who was taken aback, moved a step backwards and his eyes widened.

“ What are you doing?” He asked feeling embarrassed.

The officer looked like he was ready to burst into tears

“Sir, I'm really sorry. I can't loose this job. It's my everything” The man pleaded.

The captain buried his head in his hands, the car l

    "Sir," the officer in charge addressed Ric, "would you be willing to come with us so we can access the security footage?" He asked, his arms crossed. He knew that he had been sacked but he still felt it his job to get to the bottom of this matter.Ric's lips curved into a satisfied smirk. "Of course but there's no need for that."The officer was a bit confused but he remained quiet and waited for Ric to clarify."The car has a security device as it is and I have the keys with me." Ric said with a smile as he dangled the key for all to see. This was one of the things that Lord Gullathova had also informed Ric of over the call.With a dramatic flourish, Ric unlocked the car, pressing a button on the key. As the sleek black doors swung open, the crowd leaned closer in awe.The neighbor, however, shrunk back, his face drained of color.Ric shot a look at the man who looked like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him. He looked really suspicious.The officerin charge, along with h

Guests were dressed in their finest attire, mingling and savoring exquisite appetizers and signature cocktails. As the evening unfolds, a live band starts playing soft melodies, adding to the magical ambiance of the celebration. A black Benz stopped at the entrance of the venue. A gorgeous woman dressed in a black evening gown got down from the car. She had flawless skin and legs that went on for miles.Her intricate features complemented her graceful motions."What a beautiful woman! Is she a famous actress?""Her face and figure are out of this world!""Isn't she the incoming mayor's daughter?""I've heard about her but I didn't know that her be

    In a corner inside a room each with a glass of their favorite juice were two ladies seated for the same event. Each of the ladies is as beautiful as a princess one with curly hair while the second with long blonde hair that cascaded to her waist line. It was evident they were so lost in the pool of their gossip and laughter that filled the whole room. Roxanne Aliya’s cousin was the one with curly brunette long hair while her friend was the one with straight blonde hair, Kiera. They were both dressed in shimmering dinner gowns.“Do you think he cast a charm on grandfather?” Roxanne asked her eyes on Kiera's. “I was thinking the same cause I don't know why he would choose an ex-convict to be his son - in-law...… like? What the heck is that” Kiera sipped from the juice in her hand her interest in someone’s else life was chastely evident in her eyes. “We are friends for a reason always having the same thoughts” Roxxane teased and Kiera smiled. Roxanne opened her mouth to form a sen

    Ric held her hands and brought them to his lips giving them a gentle peck.“Thank You” she replied in a very low voice that made Ric smile.Camille had stepped aside a bit and they were pretty much alone in the corner.“We should finish up and join the rest soon” she blushed under his watchful gaze."Grandfather will make public our alliance today," she studied Ric but his expression was blank as he applied ointment to where her skin was broken before covering it up with plaster and gauze."It's a small cut, I think you can leave it open and apply G.V or the powder to it to dry it up." Aaliyah told Ric.Aaliyah was a medical personnel skilled in basic medicine and pharmacy so she knew what to do but she had left Ric to do as he pleased so she could evaluate his prowess in the field."I know but this is a public place and the event has barely begun, I can't risk you walking about with an open open wound. What if it got infected?" Ric defended his course and finished up with the plaster.

    Ruc had ignored Roxanne and her tantrums all the while simply because he had made a promise to Aaliyah earlier.Not like any of what was said got to him but a part of him yearned to fix Roxanne and her husband in their place.This was an usual feeling for Ric and he had spoken out of impulse, he would normally let comments pass but he suddenly felt the need to shut the couple up a day flaunt his wealth in their face as they did with wealth that was not accrued by them in any way."Ric, you should sit here." Lord Gullathova offered his seat at the head of the table to Ric and everyone in the hall gasped.That light gesture held a lot of meaning which most people understood.As the host family, a long table had been put on the elevated platform so even the slightest movement of the people seated on that table was taken note of by all of the guests."Grandfather!" Roxanne protested."You will not utter a word against st my decision." The arch of his brow and the stern look on Lord Gullat

    The fun and every other thing had swung into full gear and grand dinner event was turned into a cocktail party as people relocated to the next hall for a brief meet and greet with the newly engaged couple.Melissa barely gave it a thought to go to the hall when a familiar voice addressed her.All Melissa wanted was to hide her face from the embarrassment and shame she had accrued for herself. "Are you leaving already?" Aaliyah asked in a cautious tone, her hand locked unto Ric's. Not like Aaliyah was a bully like Melissa or Roxanne but she disliked the way Melissa had belittled Ric simply because he was her ex husband and she was not going to let anyone make her feel like she was settling for second or hand me downs by Melissa. Hence, she felt the need to prove to Melissa that Ric was worth much more and Melissa had been making a mistake by divorcing him."Congratulations to the both of you." Melissa avoided eye contact with any of them and forced a smile."Thank you, you were say

    "Tell me, is there any reason why I shouldn't speak to him in that manner? Is there any reason why he should have my respect?" Roxanne asked as she taunted Aaliyah with wide eyes in search of answers to set her ball rolling."Have you no shame? How can you pull a scene in front of guests who have come to celebrate with grandfather on an important day like this? What do you think grandfather would say when he hears about this?"Aaliyah pulled away from Rics hold and tried to call Roxanne to order in a low voice using their grandfather but Roxanne was ready to play in the mud as long as she could get a chance to drag them with her. Roxanne was absolutely shameless."Well guess what? I don't want him to hear about it, I want him to see it for himself." Roxanne replied as she closed the space between them, her eyes filled with anger and hate for the couple."What did I miss?" Reynold, Roxanne's husband walked to them, breaking the tension between the ladies who intently glared at the othe

    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

    "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

    When Ric appeared at the gate of the Conover Club, he was quite mesmerized by the beauty of the infrastructure. He had expected it to look beautiful but the pictorial panoramic view he had envisaged, was nothing compared to what his eyes beheld."Excuse me Sir, please can I see your membership card?" One of the security guards interrupted his thoughts about the place."I'm sorry but I don't quite have that" Ric was naturally a polite person so it was nothing to him to respond kindly to a lowly security guard."I'm sorry Sir, but your card type is the determining factor for the entry access you are granted" the security man was not being rude since Ric had dressed up properly and looked like a rich man, however, he was only doing his job."That won't be any trouble, I'll just call my friend to come out" the Conover club was a place reserved for only the richest of richest. Some of these accesses, Johnson could give Ric to drive through preferential gates but Ric severally declined unwi

    When the lady heard what Melissa said about Ric, she was a bit Ashamed of what was being said. The lady was Aaliyah.She had been passing and had only been oppurtuned to hear what Melissa said and because the man in question was related to her as her Fiance she had paid better attention.She had observed Melissa closely from her distance and concluded that indeed she was Ric's Ex wife."He is still so useless." Melissa scoffed annoyed.Melissa had dropped the items she carried in her car before she recalled she had wanted to pick an extra item and she had to return to the store in a rush.It was on her way back inside the store that she had bumped into Aaliyah on her way out."Oh, please watch where you're going." Aaliyah said politely when someone bumped into her.Melissa was rather rude, despite just being humiliated, she could just never change. That was how she was."You should also keep your eyes open to step aside before someone crashes into you accidentally." Melissa snapped at

    Melissa had her heart in her mouth when Ric remained expressionless, she feared that he would ignore Damon and keep her on her knees for longer but she was wrong.Ric was not like that, he did not intentionally hurt people or their images for self gratification or cheap glory and moreover, Damon had a right over him since he also considered Damon as his older brother.When Frank noticed Ric gave no response, Frank was ready to prolong Melissa's suffering."Oh Mel it seems you would have to-""Let it be Frank," Ric held up a hand to frank and stopped his sentence halfway.Melissa had a slight frown on her face.How could Ric talk to the man that made her tremble to her bones so casually? Melissa was puzzled but then again she thought to herself that Frank surely was in a disguise around Ric so Ric didn't know who he truly was.That was just how Melissa was, it was better for her to think that way than for her to admit to herself that Ric could have such a powerful friend that frightene

    Melissa's legs felt like jelly when the words hit her ear drums. She was expected to apologize to Ric and that too on her knees."Is there a problem Melissa?" Frank was going to surely see to the end of it all.Just as the drama was taking place, Damon came back.Melissa was already on her knees before Ric but her lips were heavy, she found it difficult to apologize to Ric.It would have been easier for Melissa to render the apology to a complete stranger than for her to apologise to Ric. Even if Ric looked clean, Melissa was not willing to accept that he was worth being treated more than a street begger.Yes! She thought that lowly of him."Say the words, I don't have all day to waste here." Ordinarily Ric would have stopped Melissa and ended all the drama but this once he chose to put her in her place."You! Don't even try to act high and mighty because I'm apologizing to you." She was quick to raise her voice and scold him but she had lost her voice ever since when it came renderin

    If Ric wanted to punish Melissa by sending her off without purchasing anything then he would have done so but when he saw that what she came to purchase was beneficial to him, he let it slide and awaited a more amicable way to settle the drama. "I am sorry Ma'am," the Manager of the store ran behind Melissa and pleased after she threatened to shut down the store with her father's influence. Melissa often used her father's status as soon to be Mayor to intimidate people in the city and get her bindings done. "Don't even try to beg Me, that is the staff of yours that has insulted me and most of all because I was trying to warn you against wasting your time with this man." Melissa was raising her voice and shouting that she successfully got the attention of most if not all the people that came to shop that day at the store. "What is happening here? Why is everyone shouting so much?" "I hear that the staff here are insolent and even give preference to just anyone that steps foot into

    Melissa had mixed feelings about running into Ric after he had hung up on her, she wanted to lash out at him for his misconduct yet she still wanted him on her side if she was going to complete her assignment but Melissa being Melissa, she let her emotions cloud her decisions and she decided to taunt Ric instead."Tell me what a man like you is doing here. Can you afford anything here?" Melissa said to Ric who was standing side by side with Frank."What do you want Melissa?" Ric asked when she would not get out of his way."Hmmm, a very tricky question you asked but the actual person who should be answering that is you. What so you want in a store like this?" Melissa said with a coy smile on her lips.Ric was very composed in as much as he detested Melissa for all she did to him in the past, he still gave her some respect as his ex wife and stood to give her audience."What I do with my life is none of your business Melissa," Ric replied with a blank expression.Melissa took her time

    Melissa was shocked at his audacity, she screamed in frustration. She needed his help navigating her way in order to get to Italy but Ric was not cooperating.Ric dropped the call and massaged his temple, Frank's idea of using Melissa and her father's influence to find the assassin was a good idea but it was going to involve Ric constantly communicating with Melissa and possibly following her to Italy as her husband to reduce any suspicions.Melissa worked with the immigration so granting access and falsely approving fake identities was going to be a walk over with Melissa on their team yet no scam will be traced to the Milano Group president at all if the foreign authorities found out.Ric picked up his phone and answered the incoming call."Ric, you have to come home early today. Where are you?" Damon questioned him immediately the call connected"Why so?" Ric was a bit lost in the sudden demand from his brother and friend."It's Gordon's birthday anniversary tomorrow and we have to
