The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter 68
Just like most days, as soon as Richard rolled over in bed in the mornings, the first thing he reached out for was his phone which he always leaves on his bed side table before he went to bed every night. This morning, as he pulled himself out of his Dreamland and tried to force himself to come awake, still with his eyes closed, he rolled over on his bed and began to grope for his phone.He couldn’t feel the bedside table and his eyes flung open. He was lying on his back and his eyes were trained on the ceiling overhead. The hidden air-conditioning unit in the room had made the whole place very cold. He tried to remember where he was. The room was unfamiliar and he couldn’t figure out how he managed to get into that strange bed. He blinked rapidly.Was he drunk the previous night to the point that he had ended up in a strange room? He asked himself in confusion.Where was he? The room had a stark difference to his regular hostel room where he slept every night with his two roommates. I

“What major did you do in the University? “ James asked, puffing hard on his cigarette.“Human Psychology” Richard replied.“So, besides helping out in the temple, what else did master Kai teach you when you finished with school?”Richard opened his mouth to talk but he shit it immediately and rolled his answer over at the back of his mind. He was suddenly on alert on how his saviour was asking questions that were beyond the surface level. He was now wary of saying too much than was necessary.“I learnt a good deal of physical combat and karate” He said.James nodded again. He was very pleased with the new things that he had just found out about Richard. “Do you ever have memories of your past? I mean, do you have flashed of the events that happened to you the night before I saved you by the roadside?”Richard shook his head, deliberately avoiding James piercing eyes. He tried to figure out where his saviour was headed to with the personal questions but he was still clueless.Soon, th

Elise sat in front of dressing mirror in her room, worried. She had just stepped out of the bathroom and her long hair was wrapped up in a thick towel. A bigger white towel was around her chest. Her heart hammered within her chest. She was now staring blankly at herShe picked up her phone and swiped through it. There was still no calls or messages from her friends from school. There was a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach. What manner of disappointment was this? She wondered in half annoyance.She decided to call her boyfriend, David. He had promised her that he was going to spend time with her a day before her birthday.

Elise had already told the staff downstairs to open up the main door whenever her friends arrived. They got to her place when it was some minutes after 9pm. Elise was already lying on her bed, her heavy duvet covered her from her chin down to her feet. Her phone was besides her and the voice of a man spoke from the phone. It was her boyfriend, David. She had dialed his number without giving it much thoughts and he answered.He apologized that he was caught up in the middle of a crisis as one of his cousins who lived with him in his private apartment outside school, had gotten a sudden asthmatic attack and badly needed to be rushed to the hospital.He then told her that he was going to make it up to her by coming over to see her at her father’s residence, but only for a few minutes, before he would go back to the hospital where his cousin was hospitalized.While still on the call, Elise heard some loud voices downstairs. She jumped out of bed, quickly bade David farewell, ended the cal

Richard had been turning around in bed, trying to catch some sleep. After futile attempts to fall asleep, he decided to just go out of the room and get a glass of water. Perhaps, the coldness of the room made it quite hard for him to fall asleep as fast as he wanted..He had gotten used to falling asleep in a room that had a warm temperature—his shared hostel room at school had an air-conditioning unit that was only turned on during the early hours of the morning, so he always had to fall asleep with sweat all over his body.It was quite hard for Richard to adapt to this new life, but it didn’t take him long to get used to it. Now, he was sleeping in a room where the air-conditioning unit was constantly running. He sniffed and pulled off the heavy bedsheets that was on his body. Then, he pushed himself up and got out of bed. He slipped his feet into his padded skippers that were by the bed and he headed out of the room.The hallways was quiet and the kitchen was only a few rooms away

The following morning, Elise was woken up with a splash of water on her face. She opened her eyes to meet smiling faces staring down at her. Her mind reeled.She had gone to bed earlier, thinking about Richard’s words the previous night. She knew that what he said was only to help her and bring her back to reality so she would know how much worth she carries, but yet she still felt a certain strange feeling about her relationship with David. She was willing to give him one more chance to make things right. Her mother’s Primary goal was to make sure she didn’t end up with any man that was as below her standards.As she thought about how complicated her relationship with David had gotten, she dozed off.She was still staring in confusion at the other women. She raised her head up and water dropped from her hair. Her eyes fell on the glass of water in Juliet’s hands.“Elise!” Juliet squealed, flashing a bright smile at her. “Sorry, I had to pour you water. You know the tradition! The bir

Niko turned around in the revolving chair and his eyes fell on the lady that had just walked into the office. She wore a bright red lipstick and her tight skirt clung firmly to her body, showing her curves. She held a document in her hands and her round glasses rested on the bridge of her nose.Sunlight pierced through the glass walls of the office and flooded the entire office.“Hello, Sir?” She called out again, taking a step closer to him.Niko raised his hand in the air and gestured for her to approach him. The apple laptop on the table was still on. The dim light of the laptop screen had still not gone off. The lady approached the work table in front of Niko and leaned one of her hands on it.“What did you say?” Niko asked her, his eyebrows drew together as he spoke. He looked up at her and saw how she opened her mouth to say something but shut it immediately. He sensed how tensed she was and it immediately got him upset.“I just asked you to repeat yourself” Niko said in a loud,

Richard was stopped twice by Susan when he got into the kitchen. After he had helped her carry an heavy carton of drinks from the kitchen to the living room, he saw his chance to slip away when she had to answer a phone call.He decided to use the main door of the house and go around it to meet Elise at the back garden. He stumbled on some rocks on the way to the garden and almost tripped over but he held himself back and leaned on the wall for support.As soon as he got to the back of the house, he saw Elise. She was on the same rock where he had met her the previous night. This role, she was not aware of his presence because she had her AirPods plugged in.It was only when he got close enough to her that she raised her face up and met his eyes. In a split second, her surprise changed into a glare and she hissed. She pulled off the AirPods and glared at him.“What exactly are you doing here?” She spat in anger at him as she jumped to her feet. “Are you stalking me, Richard? Why do yo

The next few days went by in a whir of emotions for Elise and Richard. As Richard drove down the sunny road, Elise’s nerves were palpable. She fidgeted with her fingers and sighed deeply. “Are you okay?”Elise spoke up, her voice laced with worry. “My Mom is going to be disappointed in me, she had always envisioned something else for me.”Richard turned and met her eyes. “We have nothing to lose, Elise. We love each other, and that’s all that matters. Elise, don’t worry. It’ll be okay. We’ve got this.”“I just don’t want her to be disappointed in me. I feel like I should have told her before now,” Elise replied, her voice wavering.Richard took one hand off the steering wheel to reach over and take Elise’s hand.“She loves you, Elise. She’ll be happy for you once she sees how happy we are.”Elise squeezed Richard’s hand and smiled. “You’re right. I’m probably just overthinking it.”As they arrived at the residence, they were welcomed by the high gates that led to the luxurious mansi

James’ wife, Susan, had been sitting quietly during Richard’s announcement, but as soon as he spoke the words “Hûlio is my father,” her eyes widened in shock. She had always assumed Richard was a lost cause, coming from a poor family and with no connections to speak of. But now, it seemed, he was from a wealthy bloodline.Susan’s first instinct was to make up for her previous bad character by offering something valuable to Richard. “Richard, my daughter Elise is also unmarried. I propose that you take her as your wife,” she said, smiling sweetly.Richard was taken aback by the sudden proposal. He had been secretly dating Elise for months, but Susan didn’t know that. He shook his head, declining politely. “Thank you for the offer, but I cannot accept. I have other plans.”Susan’s smile faltered for a moment before she put on a gracious façade once again. “Of course, I understand. We will do everything we can to help you reconnect with your family,” she said, still trying to make up for

The rich office of Hûlio was a grand affair, decked with lavish furnishings and ornate decorations. The walls were adorned with artwork and photographs of his family, giving a glimpse into the life of luxury that he lived. A large mahogany desk dominated the center of the room, on which sat an array of expensive gadgets and trinkets.Hûlio sat at his desk, pouring over old family documents when Rue entered the room.“Sir, I received a rather peculiar email today,” she said.Hûlio looked up from the papers and raised a questioning eyebrow.“It seems that an anonymous person claims to have found your lost son,” Rue continued.Hûlio’s eyes widened in surprise. “My son? But he was kidnapped when he was only 10 years old. How could he be found now?”“That’s what the sender of the email claims, sir. They are requesting a meeting at an open field to prove their claims,” Rue explained. Hûlio leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette, his thoughts racing. Could this be real? Could his long

As Elise stepped into her room, she closed the door behind her, making sure that her boyfriend Richard’s palm tree-patterned shirt was folded and placed beside her bed. The dim light from the bedside lamp created a peaceful atmosphere that made her feel relaxed. The apartment was small but cozy, with walls decorated with various paintings of the sunset, flowers, and the Eiffel Tower. She walked towards the mirror, and she could see her reflection, appreciating how her olive-toned skin glowed. She was wearing a cream tank top and her hair was tied in a bun.As she began her skincare routine, she applied her favorite cleanser in circular motions, ensuring it was thoroughly massaged into her skin. A faint fragrance of lavender from the lotion she was using soon filled the room. She enjoyed the calmness of the room as the music from the speaker on the shelf played softly in the background.As she continued massaging her face, her phone rang. Elise hesitated, assuming it was probably her

As Elise cuddled close to Richard, she felt the warmth of his body and the softness of the blanket they shared. They made small talk about the movie, commenting on the plot and the scares. Despite the creepy atmosphere, they both felt relaxed in each other’s company.However, as Richard stayed up after Elise went to bed, the mood in the room changed. His thoughts turned to the stranger he had bumped into at the airport, and the picture of his face kept flashing in his mind. The news about Sly being a direct heir of Hulio Adiento added to the sense of unease in the room. The image of Hulio’s face on the TV screen sent shivers down Richard’s spine as he tried to make sense of the coincidence.Lost in thought, Richard eventually headed to bed with a sinking feeling, wondering what the next day would bring.As Richard stepped out of his house, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a cool breeze blew across his face. He closed the door behind him, took a deep breath and started walk

It was not long before avoiding his work calls and watching the news in fear that he might be wanted by the police. His room was dark and messy, with clothes piled up on the floor and empty bottles scattered around. He didn’t care about anything anymore, not even himself.His thoughts were disturbed, swirling around in his head like a storm. He couldn’t believe what he had done, and he didn’t know how to face the consequences. All he knew was that he was a monster, and that he deserved to be punishedAfter two days of locking himself in his apartment he decided to speak up about what he has done and he visited his family house very early the following morning.One thing that had always in endeared him to this house where he spent most of his childhood was that it reeked of wealth. Sly’s family home was a mansion surrounded by lush green gardens, a swimming pool, and a fleet of luxury cars parked outside. The front door was adorned with a grand entrance, and the marble floors shimmer

It took a while before he could lift her off the wet ground and trudge through the quiet woods to the main road where his police vehicle had been parked. He carefully opened it up and out her in the back seat before he ran over to the other side of the car and got into the driver’s seat.He took her to the hospital immediately, where she was treated for her injuries and given a rape kit.As she lay in the hospital bed, Elise’s mind was consumed by the horror of what had happened. She couldn’t believe that Sly, someone she had trusted so deeply, could have done something so vile.The following morning, Hanna laid on the hospital bed, her body feeling violated and her mind consumed with the memory of the brutal attack. Her eyes were closed, but she wasn’t asleep – she was lost in thought, replaying the incident over and over in her head.The room was quiet except for the soft hum of medical equipment. The walls were painted a pale blue, and there was a small window that looked out onto

He tugged harder on her belt, her body pressing up further against his. He grabbed her hair in his fist and balled it up. He drew her head back and looked at her. She began to cry, to plead.“Please don’t,” She said. “Please.”“Shut up.”He kissed her again and this time, he inserted his tongue in her mouth. By pleading, she had left herself open to this. Again he pulled her head back roughly. “Kiss back,” he said.And I did.When he was satisfied, he stopped and tried to work the latch on Her belt. It was a belt with a strange buckle and he couldn’t figure it out. To have him let go of her, for him to leave her alone, she said, “Let me, I’ll do it.”He watched her.When she was done, he unzipped the jeans she wore.“Now take off your shirt.”She had a cardigan sweater on. She took that off. He reached over to help unbutton her shirt. He fumbled.“I’ll do it,” She said again.She unbuttoned the oxford-cloth shirt and, like the cardigan, She peeled it back from her body. It was like

He stated down at her with so much intensity in his eyes.It terrified the hell out of her as crossed both legs over her and sat on her thigh.“What are you trying to do? I need—” She got cut off as his strong palms came heavily on her mouth, sitting out her voice. “Hanna!” Sly growled. “Can you not see that I am madly in love with you?” He said His voice reverberated through the woods and bounded back to them.Cold sweat trickled down the Hanna’s neck as she locked eyes with himShe was numb.He released his hand from her mouth.I screamed. Quickly. Abruptly.The struggle began. She rose her feet in difficulty.He covered her mouth again. He kneed her in the back of her legs so that she would fall down. “You don’t get it, Hanna. I have fallen in love with you and if I don’t taste you first I will not be happy when I leave the island” He said in a bitter voice She struggled some more, trying to push off his weight from her almost tired body.His threat rang out into the air. It was
