From what he read, she already sided over fifty billion dollars from all the others she had already placed oversee.

The frequent buzzing of the cell phone woke Richard up from his peaceful sleep. Angrily, he got the phone from the corner of the bed where he kept it. He glanced briefly at the name of the caller who would be calling a human being at that time of the night. But when he discovered that it was Ken and he already missed twenty of his calls, his heart almost stop beating on the spot.

"What might have happened to Lawrence and Ken that they had to call me at that time of the night?" he thought. He placed a call to him, but all his lines were switched off and Lawrence wasn't picking up his. At this point, sleep had vanished from Richard's eyes.

At every step she took, her heart raced ten times faster. Then, she got to the meetings hall where everyone were seated and she swallowed a large lump.

Richard noticed Mrs. Luci advancing towards the door. Her face was tear ridden and It could mean that things were certainly not right. Richard smiled viciously to himself. "I have not even started unveiling what I have in stock for them and their faces are already like this?' he thought. "How is Grandma now," Charles inquired.

Apart from the fact that Richard had informed her to be extremely cruel to them, the fact that they were cruel to her young master made her hate anybody from the weldom lineage.

    "How dare," Charles glared at Richard. But Richard wasn't the slightest bit scared. He already knew that he was going to get this angry. "What did you say about consequences, and this company?" Mrs. Luci inquired. Charles's eyes narrowed as he listened to her mum. He could not believe that she had become this weak. How has she become this weak, taking sides with a useless church rat like Richard? "Thanks, Mrs. Luci. About what I said earlier. Charles here had sworn that he was going to kiss my feet if the marriage between Williams and Victoria doesn't work out." "And I must note that this situation in the family might be a consequence of not fulfilling his promise.

    Richard opened his eyes slowly after long hours of unconsciousness. He spun his head around and noticed that he was in a very dark room. He tried to move from the point he stood. But then, he noticed that he was chained to the wall. He could not seat nor bend, he could only lay his body into the wall. He could already feel his heart beating hard against his chest and his blood ran cold with fear. "What is the meaning of this," he exclaimed. "I don't have to panic," he said to himself drawing a deep breath. He tried to pull the chains clutching his hands and but it was of no use. Richard heard a cracking sound coming towards the room like someone climbing up a wooden stair. Mafia Don walked gradually towards Richard with a hateful grin on his merciless face.

    Richard stared at the cell phone on the floor and he shivered with anger and fear. He was angry because such a little device was about to get him into so much trouble that might end his life. He wished he would just say the word and it would move on its own. "Too bad those things do not happen in the real world," he gasped out of frustration. He wished he had called the police instead but he didn't Know the exact location that he was. He just hope Roger would recognize the name 'Mafia Don' and locate them.

    Lawrence stood there as more large lumps went down his spine like large stones thrown down into a rusty tunnel and cold shivers ran down his spine.

At this, Divo stepped towards him while he gradually moved backward, and at a point, he stop and shot a glare at Lawrence. "Well let us say I just got to know that you were spying on me from the way you stared at me that day when I walked by that day. I was

    Richard shivered hard with fear and cold shivers ran down his spine as the first set of whips created bold lines on his body. The whips felt like a surge of electric current all around him and he shivered hard at their effect.

Mrs. Luci turned towards Victoria the very instant she heard what her daughter just threw out of her mouth and she shot a glare at her. "Do you even enjoy living with that slut?"

Mrs. Luci inquired snapping her off her thoughts. "It's not that mum. You don't seem to get the point that I am trying to make here.

It was the agent in charge of their goods ordered from outside the country. She just couldn't wait to hear that the goods had landed safely. "Good day mam," the agent greeted. "Good day to you too," Lady Tashia replied. "So how did it go?" She inquired. "Hmmm," the agent lingered a little before answering her question.
