2024-10-29 19:42:56" Wake up sleeping head," Richard heard someone screaming.
It was Victoria and she was looking furious. Immediately Richard noticed that it was already morning and he was filled with awe. He had over slept.
"I am very sorry Victoria, I will prepare your meal right away," Richard apologized.
"Right now, do you know what the time is?" Victoria yelled.
"I am very sorry," Richard apologized again.
"Will your apology put food on my table? Oh, I know why you did this, cause I made you sleep on the floor in the kitchen right."
"No, Victoria, I will never do that."
"You want me to go to work on an empty stomach as a punishment right," Victoria said angrily and attempted to slap Richard but Richard stop hands halfway in the air. He was so emotionally down and he needed some love, not another trouble.
Richard and Victoria exchanged a meaningful glances as they did when they first meant. Then Richard did the forbidden, he kissed Victoria passionately. At first, Victoria liked it then, she realized what she was actually doing. Immediately, she pulled away from Richard and spat on the floor.
"How dare you," she said angrily, slapping him on the face.
Richard did not mind the slap he would do it again for another. He wanted some affection but he knew for sure that he will get non.
Go and get the ready car immediately, I don't want to be late for work. For starving me, no food you today "
"I owe the kitchen department, you won't even be at home when I prepare the meal," Richard thought.
Quickly, Richard got the car from the car park. "Please go get my phone, I forgot it on the bed," Victoria ordered.
"Okay."
Richard got to the room and got the phone from the bed as he entered the room. He opened the phone since he knew the password word, it was his little secret. The first thing he met was the Video Emmie sent to Victoria.
"Holy shit," Richard cursed.
"I never told Ken to reveal that I was a school dropout? this is beyond the line. Richard also noticed that the pillow was wet, Victoria must have been sobbing throughout the night, he recalled hearing someone sobbing when he was asleep. He was not a deep sleeper.
"Poor thing. I am not supposed to sympathize with you looking at the way you treat me but I know you are only pouring your anger on me. You will soon be compensated for everything. "My phone too," Richard exclaimed.
"Quickly, he ran to the kitchen to get his phone but he noticed that that the door was locked. "Shit," he exclaimed.
He wanted to send a text message to Ken to come over while Victoria was away. "What do I do now," he whispered aloud.
"Richard..." Victoria screamed.
"I will be down in a minute," Richard yelled back.
Quickly he wrote a short text to Ken with Victoria's phone. "Report at my place at ten am today, there is trouble," he wrote. "Don't reply to this message."
Richard ran down to meet Victoria, waiting impatiently for him beside the car.
"What took you so long," Victoria said.
"I am very sorry, I saw a rat in your room and I had to kill it." Richard knew Victoria hate rats.
"A rat, where is it now," Victoria said frightened.
"It's dead and I disposed of it properly."
"This is all your fault."
"How?" Richard inquired.
"I told you to always keep the door locked."
"I did that."
"I can't argue with you today. Please take me to work, I am running late.
Richard drew a stop in front of the Weldom's group company branch administered by Victoria. Victoria got down from the car. "Can I help you with your bag," Richard inquired. He always carried Victoria's bag to her office whenever she was around.
"No, not today."
Richard knew exactly why Victoria refused him from carrying her bag, she was trying to avoid any form of embarrassment. "Good morning ma," someone greeted Victoria from behind.
Victoria turned backward, are lips parted into a smile as her eyes met with her best friend, Elsa.
"Good morning to you Elsa, what an August visit at a very odd place,"
"I have been preparing for my wedding ceremony," hands Victoria her wedding card.
"Wow, good to hear, who are you getting married to," Victoria inquired.
" Henry, He his from the Bulders family." This family was ranked among the top ten families in the city.
"Wow," Victoria exclaims.
"Are you still hooked up with that poor fellow, hmmm Ror no Tom, what is his name again?"
"You are not even half the age of my grandmother and you are already this forgetful," Victoria mocked.
"Now I remember, Richard."
"Bravo."
"He is cute though, super cute. Where is he now," Elsa inquired.
Immediately, Victoria discovered that Richard was already in the car eve dropping them. "What are you still doing there, she yelled.
.......................
Richard got to the house and packed the car at the car park. "How am I going to get my things now," he thought.
Just then, he noticed a car parked beside the house, the door was opened. It belonged to Ken. Richard journeyed into the master room and Ken bowed at his presence.
"Good morning master," he greeted.
"Good morning," Richard replied. "How did you get into the house?"
"The master key remember," Ken said removing a black small card from his pocket. It was the only master key that existed in the city, Richards's dad was able to purchase it before it was banned by the government.
"Can I have it?"
Ken gave the card to Richard and he used it to unlock the room. A few minutes later, he returned with his phone. "Do you know him," Richard inquired showing a picture displayed on the front screen to Ken?
"I know him, he is your cousins Williams."
"That's okay. I want to inform you will that you will have to switch locations, you are needed somewhere else."
"It's okay but what is happening. In your message, you wrote that there is trouble."
"Yes it is painful news, my father is dead," Richard announced, tears running down his cheeks.
"What, my kind master," Ken exclaimed.
"When I lay hands on his killers, I will crush them with my bare hands."
"What do you mean, 'his killers'," Ken inquired.
"He was poisoned."
"Shit," Ken exclaimed.
"What do we do now."
"Ken, I now have two revenge cases before me, mine and that of my father."
"If he was poisoned at home then finding his killers will be a piece of cake. I know in and out of the house."
"That is exactly why I called you Ken, I want you to get me his murderers."
"But what has Williams got to do in all this. I know him as cruel and ambitious but.."
"He is trying to squander my father's company fund, everyone thinks I am still overseas and I am not interested in my father's business."
"Then you have to return right away master."
"I can't, my father's killers might not have gone too far, they will certainly come after immediately I return."
"You are right master. I will get my things ready right away but what excuse do I give to Rachael."
"Come up with something, tell her you are leaving for a business trip."
"That would be perfect. See you when I return master."
"Be careful down there Ken Richard. Stay safe.

Richard was exhausted. He just finished washing the pile of dirty clothes Victoria left before leaving for work. Clumsily, he journeyed to the master bedroom and fell face-up on the bed. "Life sucks," he exclaimed. Then, his phone rang. The caller was Victoria. "Hello," Richard greeted. "Please come get me for work, I am feeling dizzy and can't drive." "But," Richard tried to say something but he changed his mind. "Are you trying to say something?" "'Yes, how will I get to your office, I don't have money to get a cab." "That's why I called you two hours earlier, you know what to do," Victoria ended and hanged up. When Richard eventually got to the office, he was in-between life and death. Victoria was already standing beside the car. She was staring at her wristwatch. "What took you so long? Or did you go to visit a female friend?" Richard was mute. Please start the car, I am exhausted. Richard got into the car and started the engine. Halfway through their journey,

"So what are you going to do about Richard," Rachael continued. "That would not pose a problem, we will cross that bridge when we get to it." "The fact that he took my Virginity will be enough to convince him that I am not married before now. As for Richard, a few dollars will shut him up," Victoria thought. "I will break this good news to mum tomorrow," Rachael ended and hung up. "Why are you staring at me that way," Victoria inquired. "I never knew the woman I got married to was this shameless." "Call me shameless again and you will rot the jail and I assure you, nobody will miss you." "But I thought you hated the Armstrong family," Richard said. "When did we discuss anything about the Armstrongs," Victoria inquired. "During our courtship." "I said that because I was jealous. But that doesn't matter now, I will soon be married to one of them." "You won't dare," Richard threatened. "You don't have to worry, I will persuade grandma to compensate you with a milli

Meanwhile, Victoria remained in her room, bursting into short laughter at regular intervals. She was chatting with her friend Elsa. Richard knew the laughter was made towards annoying him but he refused to be moved. Then, the doorbell rang. Reluctantly, he answered the call and his eyes met with someone he did not want to see, not today. It was Lady Tashia and her bad mouth. "Good morning grandma, great to see that you are looking happy today," Richard complimented trying to fake a happy look. "Do you mean I am always sad?" the old lady returned coldly.

"Get me a glass of water garbage," someone screamed from the other end of the table. "I want one too," another screamed. Richard felt like tearing apart as the yell of his name filled the air. Sweat flowed down from his face like a stream of water. "Hey Victoria, Why is your husband so lazy. Just a few calls and he is already sweating? What if he has a job like the rest of us, what will happen to him," David said. He was Victoria's favorite cousin, Lady Tashia's favorite, and Richard's major stalker.

On their table were three glasses of Lickis wine, sold at the rate of half a million dollars per glass Lawrence, one of William's friends sat in his chair like someone trying to hide something. His eyes were filled with fear and he shifted on his chair at regular intervals. "Guess who I met yesterday," Williams said smiling sheepishly. "You know we aren't good at guessing," Joshua replied. "Speak for yourself," Williams said. "What about you Lawrence." "How am I supposed to know," Lawrence returned. "I met Victoria," Williams announced. "Who is Victoria again? What about Isabella," Lawrence said. "Let him finish before you attack him," Lawrence said. "Exactly my point. This time it is not all about relationships, it is something else."

Lawrence journeyed to the restroom. His heart was heavy with grief as he walked like a man stripped of his life. He did not feel like using the restroom, he just wanted to get away from Williams and Lawrence. He knew they were evil. If he continued with them, he will not be able to keep his little secret for long. A secret that gave him sleepless nights like the ghost of an old lady.

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. He stared into the man before him, staring at him with an evil smile hovering on his face and he felt like tearing that smile away from his dark face. "Just walked into your trap, did you?" Divo said to Lawrence. "I knew that this was the perfect bait to get you," he added to what he had earlier said. "I knew that something was you walked passed us the other day," Lawrence whispered out loud still shaking with great fear and trembling like a little child about to be locked away in a dark scary room.

At this, Divo stepped towards him while he gradually moved backward, and at a point, he stop and shot a glare at Lawrence.

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 trying hard to control a total outburst since Victoria was the center of attraction there.

The fact was just that most of the time, her disgust for him and hatred always overshadowed her soft heart toward him. "Did you even hear what I just said?"

"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.
