"I'm afraid it is man.." Alex said, pointing to the area the location points too..Richard stared at it intently, "This is obviously close to where my in law stays, it's just some miles away" He said,"You're married?, you've got some in laws..?" Paul asked, sounding surprised.. "I thought you're some young dude..""Eemm….Paul, it's kinda complex.. you really can't understand.." Alex said,Richard paced around the room seeming worried, his right hand on his forehead as he worried about the secrets before him now."Can we really track the origin of this tape, I mean we could get some concrete evidence there… who knows?" Richard asked,Paul cleared his throat, turning to address the two.. "As it seems now, it's obviously gonna take a while for me to dig deep into the video's source and that might delay your investigation, I guess.. you gotta act fast" He said.He brought out a cigarette about to light it, not minding the presence of the two. Alex looked at him disdainfully as he pulled
******Richard stares intently at his laptop, his hands typing some commands fast as he tries to dig deep into the wayne's family company, searching deep to see if he could get any clue about their recent progress.The hatred he felt for them, burning hot in his heart. He'd been mapping out all ways to reach back to them, but none of them seems well aboslutely.Multiple notifications pop up on his Laptop, he clears them as he continues with the coding he was entering. He is currently on their family Business page, digging deep to know about their financial status currently."Oh shit" he cursed, the code he had entered did not work.He squeezed his face as he wondered what could be possibly wrong, this is the upteenth time he'd been trying it.Alex was cooking in the kitchen humming his favorite song as headphones blared it in his ears, his injured leg is now much better."Hey man, you're done with it?" He asked, holding a tray of dishes filled with grilled chicken and chips as he too
Chadwick paced around the room, wondering what to do.Merlin and Belinda were already walking towards the office with two other white men behind, giving comments on what they were discussing.He couldn't come out of the office that way since he was in there and he would be questioned.He quickly arranged the files back, the way he met them and sorted them gradually before thinking of how he'd get out.He tiptoed silently to the entrance, trying to get hint of what they are discussing about,"Yeah, we gotta make arrangements with the city media on Friday and we must make it known to them that this would be on our terms now…" Merlin said, turning round to address them as he handed his hand bag to Belinda."Yeah, but Mr. Merlin, is this not going to reach the CEOs hearing, I mean he gotta give his consent on this, I guess. To at least instigate more support from the public" one of the white men said,Merlin chuckled a bit, snapping his fingers together."I understand your point, we truly
Edward squinted his eyes as he tried to make out where he'd seen that face before…Richard noticed his expression and tried to act smart up to distract him. He walked towards him with a cheerful grin."Oh, Mr. Wayne. Nice to finally meet you.." Richard curtsied offering him an handshake,"Nice to finally meet you also, how do you do?" Edward said flatly, looking deep into his face as he accepted his hands in his."I'm doing well…" Richard caught his eyes, scouting all over me as he adjusted himself, slightly feeling uncomfortable as he tried removing his hands.Edward noticed this and quickly adjusted himself also, smiling at him and quickly released his hands."I'm sorry, sir…" Edward said, cheerfully. "I thought you'd be at the meeting hall with others…" "Oh, no. I'd check that out later, besides I already sent out my team to do that…" Richard responded,If Edward had not seen his picture and his nature on the internet earlier, he would have concluded this was not the man he was ex
"Richard, bring out the soup from the kitchen""Yes, mother""Richard, my spoon fell. Get me another""Yes, sister-in-law""Richard, the drinks are not here""I'll get them now brother-in-law"This was how dinner typically was for Richard Gray, the live-in son-in-law of the Wayne family. They called his name here and there, sending him on even the littlest of errands that were originally supposed to be for the help.Richard was an orphan and a college dropout who was married to Linda Wayne, the granddaughter of the prestigious Wayne family, one of the most powerful families in the entire Country Z. The marriage had not been because of love but because of Linda's grandfather, the old master of the Wayne family. After a chance meeting with Richard, the old master had insisted that he become his son-in-law by marrying his granddaughter Linda. The rest of the family had kicked against it immediately, how could they let a nobody like Richard marry Linda? It was preposterous. Richard himse
The taxi stopped in front of the hospital gates and Richard stepped out. He paid the taxi driver and looked at the hospital. The hospital was a very tall building with over fifteen floors. The sign at the top of the building read, 'St. Luke's Memorial Hospital'. From the ambience of the hospital, anyone could tell that it was a top notch hospital. St. Luke's was one of the best hospitals in the country. They provided top of the class healthcare and of course because of this the healthcare here was very expensive and only available to the one percent of society that could afford the healthcare. It was worth it. This was the hospital the old master had had Richard's mom transferred to as soon as he had agreed to marry Linda.As Richard walked into the hospital, he greeted the nurses who were at the reception. The nurses who were already very familiar with him, responded to his greeting with a smile. Richard walked to the elevator and punched the VIP floor. The elevator dinged to signif
Richard left the doctor's office with a lot on his mind. He kept thinking of the doctor's suggestion of surgery. He didn't like the low chances but the doctor had made it pretty clear that without the surgery, his mother probably didn't have much time left. What other choice did he have?Richard walked to the accounting department where the doctor said he would be told the cost of the surgery that was to be carried out.Richard stared at the paper in his hands, he could feel a headache coming on as he stared at the cost on the paper. The surgery would cost a total of ten million dollars. It was a large amount of money. There was no way he could get that kind of money, he had to turn to the Wayne family for help. As Richard stood in the accounting department thinking of what to do, someone tapped him. Richard turned around to see a woman standing behind him."Mr. Gray?", the woman asked."Yes?", Richard answered."I'm Sara, I work in the accounting department", the woman introduced her
Richard blinked."Tell me, don't you have any shame?", Linda asked him again."Aren't you ashamed? That you have nothing to do but to ask for money from me?""Linda, it's my mother's hospital bills we are talking about. I'm not asking for personal money to spend. You are supposed to be paying for the hospital bills and now the nurses tell me you haven't paid for the last three months.....", Richard began to speak and stopped himself.Linda stared at him intensely. She slowly put down the IPad in her hands and looked intensely at him."Go on", she said softly."Keep talking, you were lecturing me, weren't you?", Linda asked him."You were lecturing me on how I should spend the money that you don't earn a single dime of", Linda told him.Richard bit his lips."That's not what I meant. It's just your grandfather.....""My grandfather!", Linda exclaimed suddenly."My grandfather! My grandfather! My grandfather! That's always your excuse isn't it? Anytime you want money you bring up my gra
