The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter Twenty One
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

Both men, Richard and Niko, breezed through the wild crowd as they headed to the bar of the hotel where drinks were sold. The school had paid for the first drink of every student and any other drink afterwards would be on the students personal bills.Almost everyone at the party was given a name tag with some funny line underneath. Richard , still maintaining his blank stare, approached the bartender. There were some vacant high stools in front of the counter and both men sat immediately .The bartender flashed a quick smile at both of them as he hurried about trying to pour out drinks for the students that were gathered at the counter, waiting for him.The men, Richard and Niko , were watching the wild crowd of dancing students and the way each person pushed against the other in frenzy. The colored bulbs overhead were revolving and the lightening inside the hotel was not quite bright.Richard squinted as he closely watched the crowd. It occurred to him that he had not seen Elise. Did

As soon as Niko left, the beautiful brunette girl that had been watching Richard, jumped to her feet and scurried over where he sat. She adjusted the top of her blouse so here would be more visible.“Are you with your girlfriend?" She asked in a high pitched voice.He didn’t look up. Instead, he began to text someone on his phone."Hello?" She called again, pressing close to Richard.Richard raised his head and locked eyes with the girl before him. He racked his head, trying to figure out if he had seen her at school before then. She spoke with so much familiarity in her tone.She flashed a smile at him, revealing a set of strong white teeth. A small dimple showed up at the side of his mouth“I don't think you heard my first question. What's a handsome young man like you doing at a party without a lady by his sides?" Her eyes twinkled with mischief as she pulled a vacant bar stool and placed it next to him. Then, she sat on it in a position that made her right gown to slide up her b

It wasn’t a surprise that there was a clique of guys in the university that could walk up to him and try to provoke him to anger.He was determined to disappoint them by not even acknowledging their presence. Instead he reached out and pulled Laila closer to him in an warm embrace she seemed to enjoy it and she hugged him tighter."Is this not the reason you are here?" Justin threw his question at him in sarcasm. "You need a rich girl to get a drink for free. Something that you obviously cannot afford"Richard was almost finishing up the content of his glass when he heard what Justin said.

The lady at the front grabbed her bag and got out of the car. “Bring her in” She said and walked away without turning back.The three men at the backseat were still rubbing the sleep off their eyes when the driver shot a question at them “Did you hear what she just said? Take the young lady in, please.

Elise’s mother’s eyes fluttered open as she turned over on her side. She frowned at her husband and asked him, “What’s going on?” She stretched her body and turned to look at the small table clock besides her on the cabinet. She broke out into a small yawn and clasped her palm over her open mouth “Were you talking to someone on the phone?”Elise’s father remained quiet as he thought of his next line of action. He knew that he had enemies as a political figure and business guru that he was. What he didn’t get was why these people would choose to attack his young, innocent daughter instead of him.“What Is the problem? “ His wife asked, now she was very concerned and she pushed herself up into sitting position besides him. “Why do you seem like you were just slapped in the face? "Elise's father sighed again. He knew the kind of woman that his wife was she would raise dust in both heaven and Earth if anything bad dared to ever happen to their daughter."Elise" gasped, shocked.

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

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.

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.

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.
