Richard got home that day confused and frightened. He went over to greet Victoria and he noticed that she was packing her things. "What is going on here," he inquired. But rather than give him an answer, Victoria shot a sneer at him. "Do I have to tell you to take over from where I stop before you do it?" She thundered. "And for your information, we are going back to the Villa," she muttered. Richard could not believe his ears. How could they be returning to the Villa when they were chased just a few days back? And besides, Living with Lady Tashia and Mrs. Luci was going to be another hell for him. "We can't go back there," Richard mumbled. "You said what?" Victoria shot a glare at him. "Why should we return there, they have done more than enough to you already. Can't you see that they are just using you?" Richard inquired. Immediately after he said this, Victoria stopped what she was doing and stared angrily at him. "My family's matter is out of your business. And my decisio
"What is happening Ken, please speak to me," Richard inquired still shivering. "There are reports reaching us that some men came into the police station and shot Williams Armstrong and all his gang members dead," Lawrence explained. Richard swallowed hard at this revelation. How could anyone just break into a police cell and kill someone in their custody. His thoughts all boiled down to one fact, the deed was done by one of the police officers as per somebody's orders.But who could this person be and what did he aimed to gain by what he did. How does this relate to the strange watcher that had been following him around that morning? "So what are your findings now," Richard finally inquired. "Williams was not the only one involved in your father's death. He had other people working for him and they had to silence him so that he would not spill a word," Ken revealed. "All that he just said boils down to the narrow fact that your life is not the slightest bit safe," Lawrence added.
"Must you always be the Black sheep? Can't you just act like a normal human being like the rest of us?" David fired angrily. "I didn't say a word, I swear," Richard swore already shivering. "And why do you think we should believe you," Francisca fired. "Bloody lair," she spat. Seeing what was happening, Gerald was forced to notice the oddly dressed man in their midst. He stared at him from his head to the sole of his feet. He was just the perfect definition of a frustrated peasant. He twisted his lips immediately in disgust and irritation. He just met this young man named Richard and he already hated him passionately. "And you must be Richard, the disgrace Rachael always talks about," Gerald shot a glare at him. But Richard did give him a reply, he only returned a glare. He wondered who this Gerald thing thought he was, a god? "Well I can see that you are as disgraceful as I was made to believe," he noted. "Please ignore him and have your seat, he is just another biological mi
"What are you doing there?" Victoria fired angrily at him with disgust and hatred sprinkled all over her voice. "I c..ame t.to get wa..ter," Richard said with a stuttery voice. He could already feel his heart beating hard against his chest and his blood ran cold. He was so careless and now, it would take the grace of a supreme being for Victoria not to hear all he had said over the phone. Victoria gradually walked towards him with a frown on her face. "God please help me," Richard prayed in his heart. Victoria didn't hear every part of what Richard said but she had the feeling that he was up to something dubious and the fact that he was already shivering confirmed her suspicion. There was something he was trying to hide from them, something really dangerous that she had to get a hold of. She held Richard tightly on his jaw and spat on his face. "If by any means I get you hiding something from me, consider yourself dead," she fired and left his jaw. Richard watched as she stor
A week later Lady Tashia through her agents had ordered the foreign textile materials they would be needing to keep the family business running before things were sorted out with the Weldoms, just as Richard had predicted. Now, it was left for Steven to make sure those goods never got to the Weldoms just as they had planned. "I just pray everything goes as planned," Richard prayed He stole away quickly from the house to see how Steven was doing with the plan. With every step he took, his heart raced ten times faster than the previous beat. Immediately he got out of the Villa, he got his phone from his pocket and placed a call across to Steven "Good day young master," Steven greeted cheerfully. "Good day to you too Steven, How did it go?" He inquired.Richard held his breath and his heart raced faster, waiting for a reply from Steven. Those goods just had to go missing so that his revenge plan would see the light of day. "I was able to make the goods look illega
Meanwhile, Mrs. Luci's phone beeped silently at the side of her bed. Immediately she saw the name of the caller, her heart skipped a beat. 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. Mrs. Luci's left hand shook violently as he waited for a response from the goods agent... "Nothing can go wrong," she said to herself as she continued to shiver. "T..the go..ods were seized by the custom service ma," the agent finally let out. "What!!!" Mrs. Victoria exclaimed. She rose forcefully out of her bed almost immediately. Her raging feets hit the hard surface as she moved up and down the room in a distressed manner. "What do you mean by that? For a job I paid you?" She fired. "Mam I tried my best, I swear," h
Meanwhile, at the Armstrong headquarters, something else was happening. Divo walked towards the large gate of the headquarters to continue with his assassination mission. A smile hovered on his face as he thought about the cruel death he was going to give to Richmond. "That's why I am the beast of the underworld," he laughed loudly. When he eventually got to the large gate, the security officer posted there stopped him almost immediately. immediately. "Hey," the security officer stopped him as he attempted to walk by without check. Divo turned around slowly and shot a grin at the security officer. "Hey," he returned. "What's is your mission here?" he inquired. "My mission? If you care to know, it is to get your boss and rip his head off frot his neck with my bare hands. After which I would take his rottening scule to my employers," Divo thought with a deadly smile on his face. "I asked you a question Mr," the security officer reminded, snapping him off his evil thoughts. "I
Tina continued to stare at him, her heart torn apart against itself. But she certainly could not go against the instructions of her boss, she would have to seek his consent first. "I will have to arrange a meeting with you and the manager, if he decides otherwise, I will have no say, but if accepts your proposal, I will send the proposed date to you," Evelyn explained. "We are very sorry for the inconveniences this might cause you," Evelyn regretted all she just said. Divo grinned at her with his anger stepping up gradually to his neck. He could not believe that this stupid company wanted him to return there. "Who does this fool thinks he is? Whoever this proud slut is, he is certainly worth eliminating and I will do it with great pleasure in my heart," he thought angrily. "What do you mean by all this you are saying," he thundered at Evelyn. "It's our company's policy, you can't see the manager until he requests to see you," Evelyn tried to calm him down but he refused to be
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. "But how were you able to find out that I had caught you?" Lawrence thought aloud. 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. He wanted to scream out due to the pian as little drop of tears escaped from his eyes but he was able to restrain himself. "Don't cry Richard, you have to be strong," he said to himself. "You think you are strong right, we will see how long you will be able to hold on to this," Gerald said with a hateful glare hanging on his face. "Whip," another whip landed on Richard's head making him groan in pain. "Hmmm," Richard groaned in pain."Such a harden fool," Mrs. Luci gasped angrily. "Why don't you just do what you are asked to and cut shot your pain?" Rachael gasped irritated by his self-acclaimed endurance. "I can no longer take this," Richard said to himself. Richard lifted his head and his eyes met with Victoria's. She didn't even show the slightest
"It is a great suggestion but we cannot deny the fact that I am married to someone," Victoria returned almost immediately. 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. Victoria sighed inwardly, she might sometimes act like she hated Richard passionately but it was still worth it seeing him around. 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?" 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. The problem is not with me, it's with Richard," Victoria replied quickly. "How? Does he have a say in a matter like this?" Mrs. Luci inquired. "He doesn't b
On that fateful Saturday morning, the morning that was going to decide Richard's and Victoria's finally state as it concerned their martial life, Victoria sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting with a friend on her phone and gradally sipping freshly squeezed orange juice. Meanwhile, Richard went about the daily business in the house. His hands, his feet and every part of his body ached bad but he just couldn't stop. Then, the doorbell rang twice and Victoria Rose from the sofa to scream Richard's name. "Richard..." She yelled at the top of her voice. Immediately Richard heard her name, she came running up to her like a little child to his wicked step aunty. When he got to her, his racing face was covered with sweat and he could hardly breathe. "You called me," he said in between trying hard to catch his breath. "I know I called you dummy," Victoria thundered. "Didn't you hear that someone rang the doorbell?" She growled at him. "Oh! I was busy inside," Richard noted and
Kindsley pulled his eyes away from the gun on the table laying the far end and returned his gaze to Lawrence. He might have informed somebody that he was going to find out about this ID. He knew that Lawrence was never the perfect person for an investigation team, so he might be working alongside with somebody who might smell something fishy immediatelys he gets missing."There is nothing wrong with card," Kinsley said quickly and returned the card back to Lawrence. "Are you sure?" Lawrence inquired with his eyes narrowed. He could not believe that the card was geniue, it was just too good to be true. "I think you did inspect it enough," Lawrence added. "Nah, I did all that inspection. The card is very much genuine," Kinsley revealed. "But..." Lawrence tried to oppose but Kinsley stopped him immediately. "I know why you are suspicious. It's the unque background of the card which is owned by a very high standing company," Kingsley revealed. "But I must say that you had a very
Lawrence stared at them with his heart divided against itself. His was left in such a dilemma that he shivered hard and his hearte ran cold. "What should I do now, Should I tell them or not?" multiple thoughts sprang up from his head. He drew a deep breath and decided not to inform them about it . He was going to get enough proof to make them believe that the ID card was perfectly forged. Lawrence slipped the ID card into his pockets as silently as he could and continued to stare at them as if nothing had happened at all. "I think we will have to go now and continue with our investigations," Ken announced. "Thanks for your massive help and cooperation," he appreciated warmly."You are welcome, anything for my boss's friends," she replied with a warm smile hanging on her face. Ken and Lawrence turned to leave immediately while Lawrence's heart continued to pound against his chest. "How am I going to prove my point to this dummy," he thought. He continued to think and finally
