The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Eight: School
Richard looked at the whole school that was bursting with activity. Since the last time he had been at his savior’s place for dinner, he hadn’t heard a word again and so even when he ought to have resumed there first, he had decided to come here first. “Are you really going to do this? There’s no point of getting some low level degree again with your accomplishments.” Niko said with dissatisfaction. Besides, he didn’t see the point of Richard repaying the debt by his own self.“If he didn’t sacrifice all that pain to climb the mountain top with another person for me back in that year, I would have died there. Not meeting master or even you.” “One must show appreciation to people that do deserve it. If they refuse this time, then I’ll step back and repay him some other way.” Seeing how resolute he was, Niko nodded and didn’t say anything. Although they had a very good view of the school from here, they were parked on the other side and some distance away from there. “So what would
The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Nine
The mother and daughter pair were stunned the moment they realized that the reason why there was so much crowd was because of Richard. “Just from his charisma, you can already tell that he’s some noble man, I really can’t wait to know his identity.” “Do you think he would take the title of the school prince from Justin?” A second year asked rather loudly making a certain kind of calm do descend in the open space. “We still don’t know who he is.” Another girl mumbled, her voice however, was audible enough in the just quiet room. “Tsk. You people are so ignorant. Just some silly pretty boy can have you all acting like little kids with no knowledge of anything. If he’s someone we should know, we would know by now.” One of the third year student, Helene, said. It was no secret that Helene, one of the top socialite miss in the capital was interested in Justin. At first, the young girl had kept quiet but the moment she saw that he was affecting Justin’s prestige, she had attacked immedi
The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Ten: School Prince or School Pauper
Are you already at the office?” Richard asks Niko through the ear buds that were connected to his phone as he walked out of the school. To anyone looking, from afar, they would hardly see anything as the buds were designed to be his skin color exactly and had no other trade mark. It made it easier to communicate with all the people around him this way. “Hmmm, your team is always better like always, everything has been set up.” Niko, who was currently looking at the new headquarters they had set up with a satisfied smile replied. He had his reservations about them moving the Country X headquarters to their capital. Since they started the company, the major thing they used to do was set up in a place with less bustle because he made it a point of developing places with lesser opportunities. Richard had however insisted on it coming here and since they were going to be here for the next few years, they could just develop it alongside. The both of them started to discuss some of the
The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Eleven: A Call From The Master
Nico was seated behind the desk. His fingers massaged his temple as he sighed in exasperation. The door had only been knocked once before it was opened. He could feel the authoritative aura that entered the room and when he looked up he smiled widely.‘’ Niko.” Richard called out , stretching his hand forward and smiling at the man. Nico stood from his chair abruptly, strolling towards Richard with hidden nervousness. Niko remembers the last time he and Richard had a talk. While it had not ended up as pleasantly as he had hoped, he knew that there were lines he couldn't cross. Both men shook hands, Niko taking the opportunity to glance down at Richard's attire. The simple top and pants was totally making him seem like the casual student that his friend and boss suddenly wanted to be. He seemed entirely different. Ever since he had come to this new city, communication between the both of them had somehow narrowed.“Richard.” he responded, shaking the man's hand and then
The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Twelve: The Wrong Roommate
Back in the university,Elise stood across her hostel hallway, exhausted. Unlike what normally happens, she had managed to stir her mother away from the idea of getting her a well guarded apartment in a gated community.Even though she was wild and spoilt with her dad, with her mom, she had to be careful about anything she wanted to do. It was always like living in her shadows. Elise had goals of her own. She wanted a shot at the world on her own.While living in an apartment had been an idea in her mind for quite some time, she didn't want it to be powered by her mother. If she had accepted the offer then the woman would never have stopped making her life miserable.She put her papers on top of the glass table and slumped onto the large leather coach at the corner of the room. The hostel was top-tier. She selected one that met her standards. Not just her standards, her mother’s standards too as it was the best and most expensive one in the school. The best part of it was that
The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Thirteen: A disturbing Neighbor
A few days later in the university, The rays of the sun pierced through the curtains of the hostel that beautiful morning. Elise, who had been fast asleep in her bed, is woken up by the soft knock on her door. She stares around, trying to shield her eyes from the burning light of the sun as she sets her feet on the carpet and moves towards the door with haste. She was never a morning person.“What?’’ She asked with irritability. On the other side of the door stood Sandra. When Elise saw her, she rolled her eyes and dropped her shoulders. She had no interest in dealing with this right now.“Good morning to you as well.” Sandra answered sarcastically. She had a big smile on her face as she rests her head lazily over the frame of the door and stares at a lease with a tank top and a pair of shorts. “I happen to have an emergency and I locked myself out of my hostel.’’ Elise could not believe what she was fvcking hearing right now. She had lost a good chunk of sleep while she w
The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Fourteen: Getting Threatened
The last few days had been full of work for Richard. Even though he never showed his face, he usually dealt with a lot of things behind the scenes, after all, if someone else could do the things he did, then the company wouldn’t even be his. After finishing up the bulk of it, he decided to make an appearance in school today. From his understanding, they would have already started classes but most of it would most likely just be the introductory. For someone that had done so many real estate projects, his course was not exactly a big deal to him. Besides, his major forte was technology. However, he also respected that a girl like Elise would go for a course like that. She seemed like someone that would go for courses like international relations. Since he had no idea about the school forum, the moment he entered the school, most of the girls hurriedly started passing the news. “See who’s back!” “I knew he was going to come back. He must have just been too ashamed these last few d
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.

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.
