“Hmm…” the designer breathed in heavily and looked at the manager.“Chase him out.” “He wouldn't dare!” Alessandro said.The manager seeing that he was caught in between the two young men decided to use his senses. He can't annoy Alessandro as he is from a wealthy family and his father might withdraw his membership card, on the other hand, the designer if provoked might not want to interact with their store.He might even convinced other designers not to partner with the stores so he cleared his throat.“Sir, you're our special client and so is him. If I chase him out I might lose my job. Please try to understand me and not put me in a tightened situation.”The designer became quiet as he took his phone and scribbled on it before dropping it back in his pocket.Silence engulfed the air except for the small muttering that emanated from the designer as he conversed with Ric.Not long after a new man walked in and stopped in the middle of the store introducing himself.The manager’s ear
Alex walked out of the exclusive shop angry and embarrassed. How could this happen? Why was Ric given a preferential treatment over him? For all he knows, Ric was nothing but a poor church rat, where did he get the money to be able to afford the clothes sold at the store?His entire face was red with fury and his fists were clenched as he blew off steams from his ears."Until you pay the outstanding balance you owe, you're not going to be allowed into the building, Mr. Alex." The words of the new manager who had walked in that moment rang continuously in his head. "What the heck was going on?" He asked confused and walked over to his car parked outside the building. He pulled the door open and slid into the driver's seat. Alex wanted to shout, he had just gotten a premium firsthand embarrassment but he could do nothing. He had to keep his cool and just leave the place.He threw an angry gaze toward the building he'd just vacated and cursed under his breath. He should be the one bein
Melissa's father paced the floor anxious, he had heard the recount Alessandro gave about Ric and it only made him more worried. He thought of different ways to make things better and secure right standing with Ric but his mind remained blank."Father, I doubt it is such a big deal," Melissa protested seeing how worried her father was."What do you know?" He snapped as his beloved daughter which further enraged her."The Gullathova family is a big deal Melissa! They are a big deal." Melissa's father found it hard to contain the information that Ric, the poor and lowly son in law that he had often maltreated, was now going to be in charge of the Gullathova property."Father, I think there's a mix up somewhere. Maybe Alessandro had not heard well." Melissa could also not come to terms with the fact that her Ex husband was about to have access to wealth and authority."Father there must be something that can be---"" The Hemsworth board." He interrupted her answering her questions before
Johnson already prepared the write ups and gave instructions to the tech people to go ahead with the publications. Ric sat still in the vehicle deep in thought, he was about to make a grave decision and at what cost?Did he really care as much about Aaliyah or was his deal with the Gullathova family that solid to cover him if he brought himself to the public?Ric was contemplating deeply, he had to make a quick decision. He received a notification on his phone and when he checked it, it was a publication on the engagement status of the Milano group President.The Internet was in chaos at the time, comments and reactions were already flying about and everyone wanted to know who the lucky lady was.Just then Ric's phone buzzed again and this time, it was a message from Lord Gullathova.'The risk you are about to embark on is one that comes with dangerous consequences. The Gullathova family will keep their part of the bargain regardless but you must protect Aaliyah at all costs.' This m
The vehicle moved fast and another parked right in front of it."Get in the car immediately!" The voice of an older man commanded.Ric and Johnson had managed to obey the command immediately and vacate the vehicle the rode in without questioning the man that gave the instruction. The driver steered the car away, those on the attack oblivious of the exchange, he let the wheel stir itself but he was not fast enough to jump out of the vehicle into the nearby grass area before he was hit by a bullet and an explosion occured.It was a close call and miss but what bothered Ric was how Lord Gullathova was just in time to save him.He had a lot of unanswered questions and his wedding to Aaliyah was just a few days away.It didn't take long for the Internet to be flooded with pictures of Ric's Mercedes that was in flames with the body of the body guard and the driver in ashes. News media houses were already giving their opinions and thoughts some said the Milano president was completely burnt
In all his supremacy, Ric was lacking in a lot of areas, his family and friends were unable to benefit from his influence. Ric made a personal decision to change it."What else Sir?" the vice president asked the very distracted Ric as he sat behind his large desk lost in thought."Mr Maximillano!" She called again jolting Ric to consciousness."Say," Ric was stunned but he maintained his composure and responded very calmly."I was asking if there is anything else you would have me do." She asked again."No," Ric's response was short and abrupt and the vice president knew that she was no longer welcome in his office so she excused herself and left him to himself.The day dragged and Ric returned home exhausted."Are you going to just lie lazy? Tell me how today was." Damon took it upon himself to bug Ric as usual.Infact, the reason Damien had gone to the room to trouble Ric was because he was really concerned about Ric and the fact that he still had no job to the best of Damien's know
Ric reiterated because the woman that spoke was not company he was willing to accommodate at the time, he could deal with her in the presence of her family members but she was a pain to him in person.The person that spoke was Roxanne, Aaliyah's cousin and the man that accompanied her was her husband.Roxanne was being adamant to Ric's response. For a moment, the staff contemplated what to do ; Roxanne and her husband had been long time customers of the restaurant as they often patronized the former and already had Value cards."Sir, are you with Miss Roxanne?" The disturbed waitress asked Damon who had initially placed the other for the table, completely ignoring Ric.Damon heaved a sigh and looked at Ric for a response. Damon had no intention of coming between Ric and his new family to be by law so he was at a crossroad on the side to take."The table of five is fine." Roxanne said overriding the veto power the waitress had given to Damon to decide the tune of the music. "I bet he
The Salvatore family heir can handle this bill, right? Roxanne reflected as she watched Aaliya kiss Ric on his cheek as a greeting and relax with her friends.Aaliyah and Ric had agreed to act like they were in love to avoid unnecessary attention and questions from friends, family and the media. They already had their perfect story of how they met and fell in love.Love had to be the only logical explanation to which the young mistress of the Gullathova family was marrying a young man with an unpopular surname.“You look pale. Are you okay?” Aaliya asked with concern, unaware of the game going on in the background. “Glad of you to join our little charity!” Roxanne exclaimed, spiteful and almost shouting. "I suppose, darling. The heir to the Salvatore's estate wouldn't mind feeding an extra mouth.” Aaliya frowned and raised her brow as she turned to face Lisa. Lisa shrugged, implying that she knew nothing about what was going on. Roxanne's husband, Reynold, gave her a forced smile
