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 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. Whi
The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Sixteen: Afraid My Legacy Would End
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

Richard waited for the buzz around him to die down before he slipped his phone out of his Jean pocket. He had received a message notification earlier but his mind was too distracted to check who the sender was. His lips drew back a snarl as he scrolled through his phone. 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. A few of them wondered in disbelief over how he was able to attempt a year four question. The confidence he has used in attacking the question earlier had left a number of them surprised.“Perhaps, he’s not even that smart” One of the male students, who felt slightly threatened by Richard , said in a forced laughter.The guys who huddled around him picked up the cue

He had completely ignored her when she spoke to him but yet , he readily spoke to another girl who was probably a common place person.She fumed inwardly as she sat in the car while her mother drove. Although her eyes were trained on the houses that does past as the car drove, her mind was elsewhere. It was heavy.Every effort by her mother to engage her In a conversation priced abortive.

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

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.

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.
