Back to the Weldoms business meeting. "That would be enough now," Lady Tashia announced trying hard to suppress her laughter. "Well mum, he is the most stupid thing I have ever met in the world," Mrs. Lucis announced. "But Richard," Lady Tashia continued. "What gave you the guts to say what you just said. Are you okay?" "Grandma, I have the right to say whatever I want. Victoria is my wife, we are legally married." "And we want to legally dissolve that mistake you call a marriage," Lady Tashia said. "That can't happen. I will go to Williams Armstrong. And inform him that Victoria is legally married and her family is only looking forward to increasing their ranking through this so called married," Richard threatened. "You won't dare," David thundered. "How dare you. Do you always want to be an element of shame to this family? You are so wicked." As they rained insults on Richard, Mrs. Lucis and Lady Tashia whispered a few words amongst themselves and Lady Tashia nodded in af
"Wait," Victoria yelled. Everyone's attention turned to her, including Richard's. "What is wrong with her," he thought. "What is it again," Lady Tashia inquired. "It's noting grandma, I only wanted to say something." "What's that dear," Lady Tashia said with a smile. "I am sorry grandma, I was just over-excited over the turnout of events. Soon this family would be uplifted." "And this junk called Richard will be gone," David added. Richard tightened his fist to control his rising anger. The Weldom family now disgusted him. He felt like bombing the whole place. "Can I go on with my meal now, Vicky," Lady Tashia said. After a year, Lady Tashia called Victoria by the nickname she gave her at birth. Victoria smiled. She was not going to say anything, at least not now. She was beginning to enjoy her past fame which her marriage to Richard stripped her off. "Lady Tashia took the fork filled with rice which Victoria made her drop. Immediately it got into her mouth, she screamed i
"We are coming uncle David," the two children responded. Slowly, the two young children dragged a little bicycle to the dining hall. Richard recognized the boy immediately, it was the same boy Mrs. Lucis Made him apologize to on his knees during the last business meeting. He gnashed his teeth in irritation. He felt like strangling the young boy to death as he recalled what he was made to go through because of the young boy. "Thank you," David appreciated as the children dropped the bicycle before him. "Grandma, uncle David bought a bicycle for me and Angela," Dennis announced. "So thoughtful of you David," Mrs. Lucis commended. "Yes Mrs. Lucis, he is so kind. At least he has the money to show his kindness unlike aunt Victoria's junk of a husband." "Yeah Mrs. Lucis," Angela added. "When I become the first female president of this country, I will outlaw inter-class marriage." "Oh! Lady Tashia and Mrs. Lucis laughed. "What is this for anyway," Lady Tashia inquired. "It'
Richard stepped out into the paved street of Bee City. He recounted the humiliation he had received from the Weldom family but that meant nothing to him. They will all become events of the past when he starts unveiling what he had he stock for them. He wanted to drop the bicycle there but he was afraid it might be stolen. His neck was stiffened and he turned his neck to both sides to stretch it a little. Then his eyes meant with a strange man. A man that made his heart skip not only a beat but a lot of beats. He was most notable for his large size and the long scar on his face. Richard recognized him from somewhere but he could not recall when and where he had met him. "This must be the man Lady Tashia sent to watch if I am carrying out her orders," Richard thought. "He straightened himself on the bicycle and made sure his watcher had a full view of him. But the large man wasn't there for Richard, he was there for someone else. Since the large man was there, it met Lawrence was
When Richard had bought enough snacks to fill the Weldoms, he turned to leave but he was interrupted by two ladies in the restaurant. "Isn't that Son-in-law of the Weldom family," one of the ladies inquired. "Na, I don't think so," the other replied. "Why don't we ask him ourselves." Richard heard them discussing about him and he didn't want to get involved. He was a humiliation to the Weldoms already and exposure to the public would cause further trouble for him. Lady Tashia had successfully fooled the public into believing that Richard was a rich man through their grand wedding and that should end there. As he attempted to leave the restaurant, one of the ladies stoped him. "Hey," she screamed after him. Richard wished she had not shouted. Now everybody would think he was avoiding her if he continued walking. He turned around in a tired manner and shot a withering glance at the lady but she refused to be withered. "Hi," Richard spat out. "Hi," she replied. "Aren't
Richard was able to struggle his way out of the restaurant. When he got outside, he met a shocking sight. The bicycle David bought for him laid on the floor crushed beyond repair. "Oh my God," he exclaimed. "Who did this.' Now he couldn't restrain the tears that had formed in his eyes. What explanation would he give to satisfy David. Even If he could buy David a million of that same bicycle, he knew that would not change anything. David would insist that he wants him bicycle back. Besides, where will he tell them he got to he money from. He was stranded. Though David said it was a gift, Richard knew it was not. "Or David actually got him the bicycle to make fool of him?" Richard thought. "No that can't be true, if it was, what would be his gain for doing it," the stream of his thought continued. But he was not satisfied not his self assumed answer. What about the meal? he knew it was perfect when he prepared it. Or thought it was perfect for until Lady Tashia said took a ta
Ken searched his head for the right words to begin this conversation. He was scared beyond every hint of doubt. What would his young master say, how will he take the news o his carelessness? But he had to spill it out. Sooner or later, his young master will find out and it was better to say it now and find the solution than keep it to himself until things were beyond repair. "Why are you mute," Richard inquired. "You gave me a phone call." "I did? I meant I did young master," Ken stammered. "I want to speak with you about something very important." "I am listening Ken," Richard said. "Well young master, there is..." Ken stammered again. "Ken, what is going on? You aren't yourself today, is anything wrong?" Richard inquired. "Nothing, just a little headache," Ken replied. "Okay, I think we should have this conversation tomorrow, please take care of yourself." "No young master, please don't hang up." "What is it Ken, this is certainly not a headache, what's going on,"
Meanwhile, Lawrence stopped his car beside a bush path and headed for the beemer University executive hostel. He intended to drop a few things for his sister and cars were not allowed into the hostel for security purposes so he had to go on foot. Unlike Williams and Joshua he was from a poor background, an orphan precisely. He was able to secure a scholarship to study at the most prestigious college in the city. It was in college that he met Joshua and Williams. After college, he got a job and he was reunited with his college friends. That was the past now. He was well to do but he would not squander his money like the rest of his friends, rather, he would give it out to the less privileged and go hungry. As he returned from the executive hostel, he felt another presence around him. It was a tall with lean fat. There was nothing particularly strange about him but he had seen him somewhere earlier. "Where and when precisely," he thought. Richard searched his head for any poss
