Richardson had breakfast with his grandfather while they both prepared for work.They had on their suits while they ate in the dining room with the television playing the news on mute while opera music played in the background.It was the kind of life people would see on television and pray to have. It was a wonderful life to live, Richardson thought to himself as he picked up a lobster to feast on.Mary wasn’t joining them as she was still in bed. She had nothing to do but sleep and eat. She only needed to focus on her health and getting her memories back so Tom was helping her do that.It wasn’t going as planned but it was a plan nonetheless.“How has work been?” Damien asked, trying to start up a conversation as he distracted Richardson from his thoughts.“Uhhh… it’s been great,” the heir replied stuffing his mouth with more lobsters. He had been caught off guard by his grandfather and he knew where the man wanted the conversation to lead to. He had to avoid going there with the ol
“These are all files of the company and you have no right to be in my office,” Richardson said, dropping his suitcase on a couch.The man pointed to the files on the desk, opening some of them as Richardson tried his best to be polite to the man.“You don’t need to do all of that. Just tell me what you want and I will provide them for you. If I cannot, then my assistant will do just that.”The man ignored what he had said, scattering more of the files on the desk while searching for whatever he was searching for.Richardson felt extremely disrespected by that singular action. He had been ignored by the man sitting in his position while going through his files. That was something he was not going to tolerate any longer.Richardson took in deep controlled breaths to put his rage under control. He didn’t want to appear aggressive to the man.“The files you have here are not what I need. Pathetic,” the man spat out, leaning back in the chair to have a good look at Richardson. “I can’t bel
“I asked you a goddamn question,” he bawled, his hands on the table but they were balled into fists.“I-I tried to warn him sir but…”“This was the exact reason I fired the last lady at your desk. You have one job. One fucking job and you’re failing at it. Don’t get me pissed. I already have enough problems of my own.”“I apologize sir.”“I can’t be doing my job and your job at the same time. If you can’t do it you tell me and I will find someone else who can while you focus on something else.”The lady had nothing to say after this as she had her head bowed.“This will be the last time you will let anyone that isn’t me get into my office. The next time you do, you’ll be out on the streets looking for another place to get hired at.” The heir warned gravely as the woman trembled where she stood.“Forgive me sir,” she pleaded. “I really tried to talk to Sir Dominic but I got threatened by him. I had no choice but to let him in.”He gritted his teeth. For Dominic to have access to his of
As she left, he rolled his eyes. He knew her kind and it disgusted him. They were only there when they could sniff out money. They didn’t care if one was skilled or talented in their art, so long as one had the money they would flock around like pigeons around a grain house.He looked at the card one more time before tossing it into a waste bin, entering the company without a second thought about her.He knew her kind would never have approached him when he was broke, even though by that period he would be in dire need of money and would do anything nasty with her to have it.He shook his head, veering into an elevator which a security guard opened up for him.While the elevator door closed, he started to think about the women he had met who had approached him because of his new status. It was a shame none of them would have seen him before his riches came in.He had approached multiple women before dating Alice and it had all ended up in disasters.Most of them had left because he h
Jennie looked at the crowd as they walked around the mall. She had entered the mall to get something for her mother who was paying for it by the way with her own money.She had been called out by the woman even when the young lady had not been in the mood to leave. It had been a forceful outing but she had no choice but to do what her mother was asking her to do.“So, I take it that as you’re silent it didn’t go as planned,” the woman said while they settled into a bench by an artificial garden. Jennie had her mouth taped shut. She didn’t want to say anything to her mother who she knew was already disappointed in her.“Come on,” the old woman smiled. “Let me know. What happened? And tell me everything. Don’t hide anything from me. I’m your mother. I’ll find out later on. What happened?”Jennie took in deep breaths, looking around to make sure no one was going to overhear her conversation with her mother as she explained what has happened and how it had all gone down.She started from
“What do you think about this one?” Jennie’s mother asked, taking up a bag to show her.“I think it’s a bit too dark for your skin color. Take something lighter,” Jennie said. “You don’t need to stand here if you don’t want to. I can feel that you’re not happy to be selecting bags with me,” the woman said before turning to drop the bag, picking another one.“What? Mum I’m happy to be…”“Don’t lie to me girl,” her mother reprimanded. “I can see your legs tapping on the ground faster than thumper did in Bambi. How about you go do what you want to do while I pick up the bags I need. I’ll call you when I’m done.”“It’s just a quick call,” smiled Jennie, rushing away from her mother to get some privacy.She entered the restroom, taking out her phone as she called Richardson. She listened to it ring before beeping.“Hello,” she heard him say, his voice sending tingles up her spine. “Hello,” she greeted back. “Are you busy?”“Yeah,” he responded. “I’ve got like a shit ton of paperwork and
As Richardson left to go get ready for his date with Jennie, Mary arranged the board pieces. She was deep in thoughts at what was going on.She wondered if he was lying to her about just being friends with Jennie. What if there was something more going on between them she thought to herself. Mary didn’t like Jennie as she had not been nice to her at the hospital. She wondered if she was like that to Richardson or she was pretending to be a good person in front of him.Either way, it didn’t matter to her as she did not like Jennie. She could see through Jennie’s lies and facade. She felt that Jennie was lying and showing a side of herself that wasn’t shown to others.Mary could feel that Richardson was good. He was a great person with a wonderful personality. He was fun to be around. She did not have dull moments with the man but moments filled with excitement for what would come next.She knew Jennie was not good for him. She could feel it. Maybe it was because she did not like her
Alice sat on the floor clad in a pink robe in her and Michael’s bedroom. She had her entire wardrobe scattered all over the bedroom floor and bed as she was looking for what to wear for the evening.She couldn’t find anything amongst the heap of clothes with some of them unopened from their new wraps.She tossed some clothes around in frustration before letting out a frustrated scream. She didn’t want to wear what she had already worn before and she didn’t want to wear clothes that weren’t the reigning style.She deemed people who repeated clothes and wore styles that weren’t reigning poor and she wanted to keep up with her lavish lifestyle.The clothes before her had turned to trash. She did not want to wear them anymore. Michael burst into the room in an alarming way, looking around with widened eyes.“Are you okay?!” he yelled in a defensive mood, looking around for anything he could use as a weapon. “Did something happen?!”“What are you yelling for?” she hissed. “I don’t know wh
“Pack your things and leave,” Richardson said after returning home to see Jennie lounging around by the pool.“Excuse me?” she scoffed when he had said those words.“You heard me. Pack up and get out of my house.”“May I remind you that I am pregnant.”“You forgot to mention that the baby is not mine.” He said those words as she gasped to her feet. He got out his phone playing the video out loud as she watched it in shock.“That video is a fake!”“It looks pretty real to me. Now I have called my bank manager and every single thing I have sent you since this whole thing started has been refunded back to my account and you are back to where you started.”“But that would be that I would be owing the bank. My account would be in minus a hundred thousand dollars.”“Then I suggest you had better start working for your money as you are not my problem anymore.”He nodded to the security guards he had come with as they entered the house with one of them dragging her into the house.“They will
When the women had gone out of the restaurant, Alice listened to the conversation over and over again and was happy that she had gotten what she needed to use against Jennie.She could not believe that she was going to ruin the woman’s life and she was prepared to do it without remorse. If Jennie was going to have Richardson, then she would ruin what they had with this evidence.She had already known where Richardson would be the next day and she was prepared to meet him there.With a triumphant smile, she stood from her seat, no longer hungry as she went home for the day.***The next day, she garbed on her most wonderful attire as she started for the park where she would see Richardson getting his favorite snack.She arrived early to make sure she did not miss him and when she found his car parking there, she rushed to him with her phone to show him the evidence which she so greatly prided herself for.“Hey,” she smiled to him as he got out of the car but his face was swollen like h
She looked out to watch the heir step out of his car and look around in confusion at how the gate was open and how there was no one around the estate.She wanted to warn him but she could tell that her father would also hear her. She had to stop him from getting into the house.She hissed out of her window trying to get his attention but all he did was look around aimlessly trying to figure out where the noise was coming from.When he was done doing that, he ran into the house getting the lady to smack her forehead in anger.“He’s really going to get himsef killed.”Opening her door slowly to make sure she did not alert the man in the house, she started for the stairs as she watched the heir run into the living room.She tiptoed silently to not make any noise in the house and when she reached the bottom of the stairs, a thud was heard with the two men still having conversations.She hid behind the door of the living room to have a peek into the room as she found Richardson hiding behi
“Do you like your new position? I bet it’s really nice to sit on that very comfy seat and give orders from above. The question is, what would happen if someone decided to take away that power from you? Would you let us…”“What do you want?!” yelled the heir tired of the games. He had grown exhausted and he just wanted to see his grandfather. He wondered if everyone in the house was safe. Jennie, Mary, Damien, Tom and his mother. He did not want anything to happen to any of them. He wanted them all to be safe. He refused to believe that anything had happened to Damien.He stood to his feet to face the man once again. He was not going to be afraid of the man but he was going to face him and kick him out of the house.He knew being at the top would make him an automatic target but why would everyone see him as an enemy. He had done nothing wrong.He knew this was the goal of his family members and that was it. There was no one else mad enough to do this.They had hired this low budget h
Richardson arrived at the company with a sour mood as he was tired of the drama which was unfolding at the estate. The drama between Mary and Jennie was getting out of hand.Why would Mary try to be sexual with him? It was not like he liked her that way.“Sir Richardson,” someone greeted him as he looked to see Jace smiling at him with some files in his hand.“Hey, Jace,” the heir said, coming back to earth. “How are you this morning?”“Oh I’m doing alright. I’m here with the files you asked me to compile for you. They do need your approval and they would soon be used later on by the other team so I compiled it as fast as I could.”“That is great,” Richardson got into his office to see a letter on his desk with his name written on it. “Please, drop the files by the cabinet and I’ll give it a quick look.”“Alright sir,” Jace said, dropping the files before exiting the office with the door closing behind him.When the boy was gone. Richardson picked up the letter to read and found it to
Tom grunted as trying to explain his plans to the man before him could expose his entire plans and he did not want that to happen. He also did not want to end this without a climax which would get him a sure victory.As a master of subtlety he was going to try to win Damien over to his side. That was sure to grant him a win and he was prepared for it.“Listen, Damien,” he said again, shocking the man. “What I am trying to tell you is that I can turn this empire into a greater one. All your enemies I can wipe them out with a thought. No one would look down on us ever again. “We can rule and we can make sure that everyone who hears our name trembles in fear.”“Us? Rule? What are you talking about Thomas? Where are you going with this?” Damien asked in shock. “I already have a grandson who will take over for me when I am gone. I will teach him the ropes around everything. “I have watched him grow over the course of a few months he has stayed with me and I have watched him speak kindly
Tom looked out of his window one morning as Richardson entered his car to drive off for work. His face smeared into a grin as he watched the heir drive off.He had been after the heir since he had known after his existence. He could not believe at first that the heir existed and during the heir’s DNA test he had wished the heir was not real but it had come up positive that he was Damien’s grandson.This had infuriated him but he had decided that he would use this to his advantage instead.Before Richardson entered into his life, for years he had been planning steadily to get the company from the Wilson’s. He had made Damien trust him as the man was without an heir and he was the only person he trusted.He had built that trust until it was broken by Richardson stumbling into his life. And now he was back to zero as he could not get anything with the heir being there. There had to be a way to take back the company without Richardson being a thorn in his flesh so he had been trying to
Michael stared at her for sometime before bursting into laughter shocking Alice for she had not seen that reaction coming. She had expected that he would accept her pleas as usual and they would hug, kiss and make up and get back to the apartment to have mind blowing sex. But instead he had laughed in her face which was like a slap to her. Why was he acting so strangely?“What? You thought you would just crawl back to me after insulting me like I was a child a few days ago?” he asked. “Please, get real. I am not a child.”“Baby, let’s not do this here,” she said, being self conscious of how the public was looking at them.“Oh shut up,” he hissed. “Now they are your biggest concern. Do you know how many times I have begged for your love and attention and all I’ve gotten were scraps? Do you know how many times I wanted to be seen by you? “I loved you for a long time, Alice. Sometimes I would get you food to starve, that was how much I loved you. I got cursed by my parents, I got laid
For days she tried contacting different investigators to help her with her case as they kept sending her files which she kept on compiling.She was ready to destroy Jennie with everything she could find and she went through the files to see if there was anything she could use against the woman.She could see some incriminating evidence against the woman and when she tried to save the files into the desktop to read later a hot coffee poured over her desktop ruining her computer and destroying everything.“What is wrong with you?!” Alice yelled to her feet as she turned to the person who had done it to find Lola staring at her. The manager came out of his office to see what had happened and he found Lola carrying around a trolley of coffee going around to deliver to the workers.“I really do apologize. It was a mistake,” Lola apologized after finding out that her manager was staring at her.“You fool! This is all your fault! You just ruined my whole plan!” Alice was furious as everythi
