Two days after the conversation he had had with Tom in the fields, Richardson walked about the fields again, this time with company while enjoying the evening scenery before him.Mary, in the distance, ran about the fields with gusto while he watched on with an amusing smile on his face. He was getting used to her presence in the estate. She had warmed her way into his heart and his grandfather's heart, turning them both around.He had not shown her his mother who was still in a coma yet. He wanted that part of him to remain a secret.She had of course asked him about the woman but he had brushed the question off numerous times as he did not want to talk about it.“Sir Richardson!” someone yelled his name, getting him to turn and see Tom running towards him.“Whoa!” Richardson yelled, holding Tom from falling over. “What is it that is making you run blindly into the fields without restraint?”“You have a letter from the mafia don,” he said, raising a letter to his face.The heir star
“Alright! Let’s go!” yelled the first don, banging the roof of the Cadillac while his partner laughed at his actions.Richardson heard some people shout before hearing the driver’s door open up and slam shut.Within seconds, the car roared to life as they started on their way to their fun night.“I don’t know your names,” he said, trying to be as confident as possible. He was going to show the men that he was not afraid of them.“James,” the first don smiled at him with a salute.“John,” the second one said with a hand dazzle like he had just performed a magic trick.Richardson started to wonder how these two jokers were mafia dons. He knew he could not judge based on their appearances but on their actions. They must have done something dangerous to have gotten to the top.“So you’re James,” he pointed to the first don who nodded. “And you’re John,” he pointed to the second don.“You got that right. See? You’re not so slow after all,” laughed John.While they talked and laughed about
He held his breath in fear as the sounds around him became muffled.He watched James’s head pump out blood, pooling around him as his open eyes lost the light in them. There was no way he was surviving that.The man who had shot James dead bent down to look at Richardson with his mask which had a different color from the others. He must be the leader.“And you must be Richardson,” the man’s deep voice said with a rumble. “Forgive my manners. I should have introduced myself first before killing the pig.”Richardson could not talk but shiver where he knelt. He had watched his first cold murder and it rattled him down to his bones. How had it gone from the car ride to a murder scene?Was he going to die? Was this how his life was going to end?So many thoughts rushed through his mind as he tried to control his breathing which seemed to fail him.The man went on to speak while waving his gun around but he could not hear anything.He was shaking all round. This was going to be his last and
The next day after the shopping incident with Alice and Michael, Jennie called her mother to hang out again.“You miss me already, don’t you?” the woman laughed, hearing her daughter grumble about how stressful her work was. “I’ll be at the hospital in five minutes.”“Alright mum,” she sighed, dropping the call to head to her ward for a lunch break.She dressed in a red gown, taking up her bag as she headed for the entrance of the hospital in time to see her mother walking up the stairs.“There’s no need,” she called to the old woman. “I’m already here.”“You look stunning,” the woman smiled, hugging and kissing her daughter. “I love your new perfume. It smells expensive.”“Richardson got it for me,” the young woman smiled, opening the front glass door for her mother to walk through as she did the same.“You should be with that man.”“Mother, not now. I just want to spend a wonderful time with you. I’ve missed having that mother-daughter relationship with you,” she arranged her gown w
“You know, if you don’t want him for yourself I’ll take him for me,” laughed the woman as Jennie joined in after her.“I’m pretty sure you both will make a wonderful couple,” Jennie could not help but cringe at the image which popped up in her head. It was weird to think about.They focused on their food as they both ate in silence while the restaurant bubbled with activities.“Whatever happened to those people who got thrown out of the store yesterday,” remembered Jennie’s mother, breaking the silence as Jennie shrugged indifferently.Alice and Michael were the least of her problems. They were not worthy of being remembered. To her they were a waste of brain space and that was that.Jennie as usual had her mind filled with so many things. She was thinking about how she was going to tell Richardson about her ploy to stay with him.He was definitely going to bring up excuses and that was why the only solution she could think up was the one of getting pregnant for him.Her mother was ri
“Fuck you!” yelled Alice to the cab driver as she got out of the cab, slamming the door shut.The driver had suddenly hiked the price of the cab fee without telling her and she had to pay double the fee which angered her.Standing in front of a nightclub while she arranged the things in her purse cussing the driver, she was the center of attraction as every man who passed by her whistled at her outfit.Her cleavages were like huge balls squeezed into a bag which was not their size with her mini skirt being too short for her to walk in without her underwear being seen.She was determined to get her target, and nothing was going to stand in her way. Whatever Alice wanted, Alice got.She got herself ready, entering into the club with the bouncers stepping out of her way. She was not going to stand in line like the other losers. She was going to waltz in like the boss she was.The loud music blared at her, catching her off guard as she squinted under the weight of the dim light.She never
“You made it,” he laughed, signaling for the people at the booth to leave while the both of them sat next to each other.“Of course I did,” she smiled. “You didn’t think I was going to miss this for the world.”He looked her over licking his lips, “You’re sexier than I thought.”“I’ve heard that a billion times,” she chuckled, dancing slowly to the music while giving him a seductive look. She looked around the table to see multiple drinks around. He had been here for a long time.“Would you like a drink?” he asked, his eyes still stuck on her breasts, putting a hand on her lap.“Sure,” she smiled. “What would you get me?”“Anything you like,” he chuckled, admiring her long legs which stuck out of the mini skirt she had on.“I like the sound of that,” she smiled at how he had said it. She knew she was going to get a lot from the man. There was no need in holding back. If she wanted something, she was going to take it.“I’d like to have some fun with your hot body,” the man said finally
“What in the world?” He heard more voices muttering while they all watched the video play out.He could remember that video like it was yesterday. It was still fresh in his memory. Suddenly, everyone’s phones started to ping as they all took it out to see the video playing out in their phones. He watched the video with his open mouth. He was still thinking of how to react to what was playing before him.He remembered what had made him fight in public that day. Someone had attempted to steal his only money which had made him fight back but he knew the people in the meeting would not understand.Watching the video without context or explanation of what had occurred in the past was a different thing. He knew no one would believe a word of what he would say as they would think that he loved fighting in public. They would all see him as a public menace.He was confused as to how the video existed in the first place seeing as the incident took place so many years ago.Some people started
