"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
When Henry saw that his extended hand was not accepted he returned it to its initial position. "I can see you are not in the mood for formalities," Henry said. "Who are you and what do you want from me? I know Williams sent you! So don't you just blow up my head and leave me alone. Why are you antagonizing me." "Well, we could strike a deal," Henry said. "I am not striking any deal with those evil men. Not with you, neither With Williams nor Joshua." "Start the car," Henry ordered, we are going somewhere. "I won't start any car. Why don't you just kill me. I know your type. After getting what you need from your captures, you breach the dictates of the deal." Henry sighed. "This gonna be harder than I thought. But I want to make this clear, I am not making any deal in your favor. Besides, failure to comply will also put Laura at potential risk," Henry threatened. A cold shiver ran down Lawrence spine and he shivered absently. Henry noticed and smiled. He had touched Lawr
Richard opened the door of the dining table clumsily. He decided not to say anything about the bicycle. He will wait for David to bring it up. If he did, it meant it was all a setup. "He is back," Rachael hissed. "Here is the snacks grandma," Richard said ignoring Rachael's comment. Lady Tashia stared at Richard before uttering a word. She expected Richard to come back stranded, begging for the money to buy the snack. But here he was with enough snack, smiling sheepishly at her. "He must have stolen the money," Lady Tashia thought. Cause there was no way he could have gotten that money from another source. "Where did you get that from," Lady Tashia inquired. "I don't get you," Richard replied. "He stole it obviously," David said. "From you right?" Richard replied crossly. "You won't even dare. That would be the end of your miserable life." "Do you really think so?" "Enough! All of you," Lady Tashia yelled. "Tell him to watch his tongue or he won't have them to us
