“Pfft.” The taller man burst out laughing.

With how cocky he had been earlier, who would have thought that the man was just here to be some low-end staff like them?

A bodyguard?

“Oh!” The shorter man exclaimed “I think he wants to apply for the position of a bodyguard here at the suite”

A wave of understanding dawned upon the other man and they broke into a lot of cackling bout of laughter.

The shorter man held his stomach and coughed, trying to control his laughter. His small round face reddened

“You’re not good enough to fill in that role. Go back to the streets where you –“

Richard did not allow him to finish talking when his fisted palms landed with force on the other man’s jaw, sending him to stagger back in shock.

The man fell to the ground with a thud. The other security man immediately swiveled into action and headed at Richard with a loud cry of anger.

Richard caught him just in time and lifted him a few feet above the ground. Then, he planted a neat punch on his bulging stomach.

The man immediately let out a sharp cry of agony while the other one on the ground got up to fight back, shouting at the top of his voice.

Richard dished out another leg throw.

This time, he landed on the other man who was now struggling to get up to his feet.

“You bloody bastard!” one of the men yelped in frustration as he felt like they had just gotten face slapped right after saying he didn’t qualify.

“How dare you come into our territory to assault us? Who the fuck do you think you are?”

The other man clutched his stomach and gritted his face in pain.

Richard stood In a stance, flexing his muscled arm in front of his body as he squinted at both men. His small slitted eyes glared at both men trying to predict their next moves.

“Joe! Lucas!” one of the men began to call in a loud voice. He was calling for help from the other bodyguards that were inside the residence.

Clearly, this man wasn’t someone only them could handle and if they didn’t call security now, they didn’t doubt that they would be beaten to their death.

With how Richard stood, feet apart like some death god or grim reaper from the ancient time, they felt like he was going to have their lives taken if they didn’t call for help.

It wasn’t long before the gates of the mansion was flung open and several men rushed out.

They were in uniforms just like the men that were panting heavily on the floor.

“What’s going on?” one of them asked in surprise.

The group of men gathered around the two men on the floor as they helped them to stand to their feet.

“He did! This insolent stranger. He assaulted us for no reason” One of the men shouted, pointing at Richard who was now standing a few feet away from the scene.

His right hand firmly gripped his suitcase that he had dropped to the floor shortly before the brief confrontation had began.

The men that had rushed out of the building now went to meet Richard with questioning looks on their face.

“Who the hell are you?” one of them asked.

“You touched our men? Why” Another shot at Ryan.

Richard clenched his fists as he tried to tame his wild anger.

“They weren’t doing their jobs. I’m here to see Lord Rodriguez.” He said curtly that the new guards that were close to ten all sneered.

They felt like it was clear to see why he had been beaten up, after all, if anyone of them was here, they would do the same.

“Do you think our master is anyone that some local dog could just request for and see?” One of them sneered.

“He even had the guts to claim that he wanted to become a bodyguard here.” The fat one that was struggling to stand said. His body was in pain and he felt like his colleagues could inflict that kind of pain on him also.

“Take both of them inside. We would handle this man. We just need to tell the boss that some suspicious individual was trying to test our security.” One of them said and then cracked his fingers.

Richard shot him a look of disdain. It was clear to know who was trained and who wasn’t. Neither of the security that he had seen here today looked like they had any type of training he even wondered how exactly they could protect a mansion like this.

The man that had just cracked his fingers saw that Richard was only standing there looking stupid and thought he had been scared shitless by his show of power.

Although his opponent was bigger, he knew that there were several people now that relied on some type of drugs to make them grow out muscles but when it came to physical strength, they were usually lacking.

Yet at that moment that he rushed at Richard, he felt like the world became a type of vortex that sucked him in and made faces lose their balance.

“Ahh!!” He screamed as he felt immense pain from fists hitting his chin. Before he could try to register the pain or where Richard was, he felt another kick to his stomach that had him reeling until he finally fell to the floor, unable to hold on anymore.

Up until the point he fell, he had no idea how Richard had gotten to him or hit him in two vital places.

Seeing how easily he had destroyed their colleagues. The remaining nine decided to rush out at the same time.

Although his face remained impassive, disdain flashed through Richard’s eyes at their reaction. They were not the type to bow in the face of strength.

Before long, howls and pig-like shouts were heard in front of the huge gate as Richard dealt with each one of them until neither of them could get up.

As soon as he was done beating them to his heart’s content, he dusted his shirt slightly and stood with his back straight like all the fallen and howling men on the floor had nothing to do with him.

Unknown to him, his action had attracted the people inside the fenced mansion.

She had always wanted things to be done her way.He gave Richard a calm and embarrassed smile. “Well, I need you to overlook that unnecessary outburst from my daughter, please.” He pointed a finger at the door absentmindedly. She’ll come around somehow to the idea of having a personal security guard. She has no other choice than to succumb to the plan” Her father said with a grave voice.Richard, on the other hand, was more intrigued by how she spoke to her father with as much disrespect as she could gather. She told her father that she needed to have a normal life and that having personal security personnel would stand in the way of enjoying life as a normal person.He pondered over her personality and told himself that he actually had loads of wor

    “This is the young boy you saved then?” Mrs Rodriguez asked as she looked at Richard with a dubious expression. Unlike the last two times he had been here, Richard had taken something from his own wardrobe and looked every bit stunning that Susan almost felt like she was looking at some supreme boss. ‘Was this really just some bodyguard for her daughter?’Unlike James who had been born into a humble background, Susan had been born as the last child into a family of long standing wealth. Although James was wealthy in his own right, she still constantly felt like she had married below her status because of the rough patch her family had gone through back then. “He was only a small boy then, but he’s all grown now.” James said with a chuckle, completely oblivious to his wife’s averseness to the young man. Richard also played the ignorant card and sat down by the far end of the seat. She nodded subconsciously as she felt like it was good that he knew his place at the very least. For

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 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

    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 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.

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. 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.

    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.

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.
