The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Fifteen: Face Smacking A Professor
The whole class was eager the moment they heard the lecturer’s words. Clearly he had very terrible luck, after all, who didn’t know the kind of person that this professor was very strict. Normally, professors like him won’t take first years but he had asked for it with the claim that he wanted to be sure that the students that came into his class in their final years had a good background. “Okay sir.” Richard accepted calmly his demeanor not changing in the slightest. “First question. How do you affordably capture real-time, equipment-level performance data?” The man asked. The students looked at each other confused, this shouldn’t be a question that a first year student should know right. “Anyone can capture equipment-level data using off-the-shelf hardware from legacy device manufacturers…..” Richard started and the more he talked, the more the look on the lecturer face changed.“In addition, many of these “smart meter” devices can only capture data at 15-minute intervals.

Almost as if it was planned, the moment Richard sat down on one of the couches in the already well furnished house, he got a call from his master. “Little brat! You don’t know to call?” His master, master Kai’s voice sounded over the phone making Richard to wince slightly. “I just managed to settle down, did you have them prepare the house?” He as he stood up and looked around suspiciously. Although the distance from his school wasn’t too much, the most important thing was how beautiful the house was. It had been furnished to the boots for his tastes. Clearly, this wasn’t something his subordinates would do. “Humph! After looking at the houses in those school area, I knew you wouldn’t stay there, after all, your taste is so big now.” The man’s voice was still stern, yet, it was easy to see the doting love in there. Clearly, he adored the young man even though he was talking like he wanted to rip him apart.“Also, unlike overseas where you can just show your faces to the top peo

There was still a lull of noise in the background as several students hung around him.They were talking in hushed times about Richard who had almost been disgraced by their professor.

She placed her head in between both hands and leant on the study table.Her eyes fell on her newly pedicured toenails. Pink. That had always been her color.Her mother never failed to get all her items in pink. She had grown to accept the color as a part of her.

Richard stood at a corner of the noisy stadium, peering into the crowd with his arms folded across his chest. He terribly hated places like this. The whole place was raving wild with noise from the mammoth crowd. Almost everyone was singing in unison to the song that the artistes were performing on stage.His phone beeped. It was a message from Niko.His frowned deepened and he could feel his jaw tighten. Niko had dragged him over to this concert because he wanted him to meet an old friend who also happened to be on the concerts ground.The message from Niko read that he was going to show up a bit late at the spot where Richard was waiting for him.Richard shook his head in anger. Niko, one of his trusted men, had a way of making him do things that he wouldn’t usually do for another person. Niko stretched him to his limits sometimes but he always remained sane.He yawned and clasped his left hand over his mouth. Then, he decided to while away time by closely watching each person a

Just as Richard got down from the school bus, he switched on his earbuds so that if Niko had anything to tell him, they could easily communicate without him having to pick a call. A loud rock song began to boom from it and Richard put the music on repeat since he wasn’t particular about the song and just needed some distraction.The blaring beat of the song helped to distract him from his environment. He stood under the morning sun as his eyes raved the entire expanse of the schools. There were flashy cars parked almost everywhere. Students bustled about with lively energy while a few moved about in solitude.He began to move towards the building where his department was. As he pushed through the surging crowd of students at the entrance of the building, he suddenly remembered that the previous day, an announcement had been passed on to the students through the public address system that had been fixed overhead where he stood.The announcement had been a short and concise one ; it

Niko strolled over to the table by the wall. There was a playful grin on his face. A small towel hung around his sweaty neck. He picked up the open bottle of soda that was on the table and began to gulp down its content.“I’m very serious” Richard said in a slow drawl. He was lounged on one of the couches in his apartment. He had a frown on his face and some open textbooks on his legs.“I still can’t believe this” Niko said. He had just dropped the empty bottle of soda on the table and turned around to face Richard.“Call it whatever you want but the school administration has made it mandatory for every fresher to be in attendance at that party” Richard said.“So, you’re actually going? “Richard nodded his head.“I think I would love to come with you.” Niko broke outRichard’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why? “Niko threw his hands in the air. “Well, isn’t it obvious enough ? I’ve been working under too many deadlines and I really do think that I have to loosen up a bit. It’s a g

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

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.
