"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 million dollars. Besides, that will be nothing compared to what will stand to gain when I get married to manager Williams Armstrong."
Angrily, Richard stormed out of her presence and walked into the kitchen, banging the door behind him. He tightened his fist as his breathing pace increased. Angrily, he reached out to the new sets of glass cups Victoria recently ordered from Spain and threw them on the floor. They made a shattering sound as they met with the smoothly tiled floor.
"What have I done," Richard lamented, realizing his mistake.
Meanwhile, Victoria also heard the sound. "What his happening," she whispered. Taken over by curiosity, she ran to the kitchen and discovered that the new set of cups she ordered from Spain were lying shattered on the floor.
"What have you done," she yelled at Richard.
Her presence made Richard grow angry . "What have I done? It should to be what are you doing."
"Do you know how much those cups are Worth?" Victoria thundered.
"At least, they don't worth my heart which you have shattered."
"You are going to get punished for this."
"Punished? I have already divorced you in my heart so go ahead with yours it no longer matters," Richard said with tears freely running down his eyes.
At the sight of his tears, Victoria felt heartbroken and guilty but she had to act strong. His current pain was nothing compared to what he made her go through daily, the shame, the embarrassment, this was are payback time. She was going to reck his heart.
"When I am done divorcing you, I will make sure you pay for all the damages you have cursed until there is not a single penny left to your name."
"Is that a threat?"
"Consider it one."
"You will remember this day Victoria, I will make all of you who ever despised me come to me begging."
"How are you going to do that," Victoria laughed.
"Watch and see how your family goes bankrupt, From top fifty to bottom ten."
"How are you going to do that, Rob, us clean?" Victoria inquired. "I should not be having this discussion with you. I should be planning on how to get Williams to get married to me. You are just one unlucky fellow," she ended and left the kitchen.
"We shall see who is the unlucky fellow," Richard threatened.
Is love for Victoria had finally turned to passionate hatred and the Weldoms had brought out the beast in him. As he foamed with anger, his phone beeped. It was a text message from Ken. "Good morning young master, there is a new discovery you will like, I will call you by morning."
Before he finished reading the text, Richard gave Ken a call.
"Good morning young master," Ken greeted surprised.
"Good morning Ken, what is the new development, have you found my father's killers," Richard inquired.
"Young master, aren't you supposed to be asleep."
"That does not matter Ken, tell me what I need to know."
"Young Master, your voice doesn't sound too good. Who is making you angry."
"Ken...."
"I am trying to avoid attention," Ken said almost in a whisper. "Williams has the house guarded both day and night."
"What is his reason for that."
"He says your father's killers might not have gone far. But that is not true, he is trying to prevent any form of internal investigation."
"Why would he do such a thing, Ken."
"I think he has a hand in your father's death," Ken whispered.
"What. Have you gotten any concrete proof to back that?"
"Yes, but I can't relate it to you now, but it is enough to get him arrested and imprisoned."
"That is great," Richard exclaimed.
"Should I get the police involved young master," Ken inquired.
"No, not yet."
"Why young master, he is eating deep Into the business fund."
"I want him to run the business a little longer."
"What is your reason for doing this young master."
"I want him to soil the Weldoms with some mud. Then I will be able to get the financial crime agency to freeze their accounts."
"I don't get you, young master," Ken said genuinely lost.
"You Don't have to Ken. You will fully understand when I start rolling out my plans. It will be like judgment on the Weldoms.
"Whatever is your reason for doing this young master, I think is the best decision for now. This place is not safe for you."
"Okay, Ken. One more thing, do you think Williams is the only one involved in this murder case."
"I don't think so young master. I don't have any proof but that is what my instincts are saying."
"Your instincts are never wrong Ken. You are doing a very good job."
"I am not only doing this for you young master, I am doing this for my master who was gruesomely murdered."
Richard hung up and support his jaw with his fist. "This is going easier than I thought," he mumbled. "I will make Victoria and all her relatives pay for all the insults they have rained on me," Richard vowed

"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.

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.

"We have to talk," Joshua said to Williams almost in a whisper. "What do you mean we need to talk? What are we doing now, crying?" Williams returned. "It's something you won't want a soul to hear about. Or I could just spill it out here if you so wish." "I thought we have crossed that bridge already," Williams said crossly. "Not that, it is something else. Something that is eating me up." "Okay. But where do you suggest we go to." "The restroom," Joshua replied. That will offer us a little more privacy. "As you wish. I am right behind you." Joshua went to the restroom first, then Williams followed, a few minutes later. It was to avoid any suspension. "I am here," Williams announced when he got to the restroom. "Cool," Joshua returned. "What is it that is eating you up?" Williams inquired. "You might see this as irrelevant but to me, it's very important. We must take precautions so no one will find out about our little secret." "What precautions?" "It is abou

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?"

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.

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?"
