Richardson wasn’t surprised that he wasn’t able to get a good night’s sleep. After he had seen that post Alice made on Instagram, his entire mood got ruined.Throughout the time Alice and Richardson had dated, it had been a secret. Alice told Richardson she wanted to keep her romantic life really private, and Richardson went along with it.After he saw that post, he remembered that Alice never agreed to post any picture taken with him back when they were still together. She made sure Richardson never told anyone about their relationship, and the only person who knew about his relationship with Alice, was Michael.Now that Richardson was thinking about it, it made him feel like a fool, because it was now obvious that she had been utterly ashamed of him and hadn’t wanted anyone to find out she was dating someone like Richardson. Alice’s post caption has said; ‘The only one who owns my heart.’Richardson almost puked while reading that. He forced himself out of bed and dragged himsel
Chapter 21 On pulling up before the building which the meeting was getting held in, Richardson felt extremely gobsmacked. The building was so tall, Richardson was sure it was over fifty floors in total, and as he exited his car and pocketed his keys, a nervous feeling engulfed him.Tom led the way into the building, past a bunch of security men who bowed in respect on sighting Richardson, who was trying to hide how nervous he was by pocketing his hands.On the elevator which was taking them to the highest floor of the building, Tom explained to Richardson about how he shouldn’t let whatever is said to him in the meeting get to him.At this point, Richardson just wanted to attend the meeting so it could be done and over with already.The elevator finally stopped and Tom had to input a code, which he informed Richardson was an exclusive code needed to access this floor of the building.The code gets changed daily, in order to ensure the tightest security ever. Richardson was wowe
The man who was being currently accused of wanting the heir’s spot for his son, had a pair of dark shades on which is identical to the one he son also had on.He was totally unfazed by the accusation, telling from his body language. Instead, he fired back the accusation at the one who had accused him.“Not you acting like you didn’t recently suggest your son step into the position of the heir of the empire, like you always do, so stop this bullshit talk at once.”All eyes were instantly on the man sitting beside Tom’s other side, who got to his feet in the next moment as he responded.“Well, at least my son has all the qualifications needed to take on that role, unlike yours!” The man with sunshades sprang to his feet at that, pointing a finger at the one on Tom’s other side.“Your son would never be fit enough for that role, and he doesn’t have any damn qualifications! Don’t forget we all know you paid his way through school for him to graduate!” “Well, at least I don’t act like I’
“That was really something.” Richardson murmured after some time, being the first one to break the silence. Tom shrugged his shoulders a little. “Could have been worse, to be very honest. I believe most of them just held back because of your grandfather’s presence.”“Great. Just great.” Richardson muttered with a long sigh, reminding himself to steer completely away from that side of his family until when completely necessary.Tom was once again scrolling through his list on his phone, looking through Richardson’s schedule.“The meeting with the lawyers is next.” Tom announced after a few seconds.——— After a few more hours, Richardson was finally done with his schedule for today. He bid Tom off and decided to drive around the city on his own, in a bid to clear his head.The song playing from the radio was a really horrible hip hop which he switched for a cool melodic RnB song, and then he lost himself to the song and the early evening breeze.He decided to stop for a refi
Richardson’s heart was thumping fast as he flew out of his car, running towards the front where he had hit someone.It hadn’t been his fault. He hasn’t been going at a ridiculous speed just because he could, it’s the person’s fault who had decided to cross the road at that moment.A gasp flew past Richardson’s mouth as soon as his landed on the unconscious body lying on the floor, right in front of his car.It was a girl.A young woman, rather.He quickly checked If she was still breathing and sighed in relief on feeling a pulse at her neck. He was thankful that there hadn’t been much blood on the ground.A few people had alighted their cars in curiosity, and one of them had assisted in getting the girl into Richardson’s car.Once she was successfully in, he quickly drove all the way to a hospital, one of the high class ones which he had desperately wished he could take his mother to, but had been unable to because of his lack of money.The nurses took over from Richardson as soon as
“Why do you have to always be rude to me?” Richardson demanded into the phone in a low voice.Mr Landlord, Mr Morris, spluttered once again. Mr Morris had always known Richardson to be pathetically poor. He’s always owing his rent before he’d finally pay everything completely.Mr Morris was confused and taken aback by Richardson’s weird attitude. He’d have normally already began to plead for more time to gather money for his rent.No matter how much Mr Morris mock and walk over him, Richardson never complained, he took everything quietly, which made it turn into a habit.Which is why Mr Morris is currently confused, because he had been expecting Richardson to instantly began to plead for more time, and not Richardson talking to him this way.Which made him become furious.“What do you mean by that stupid question?” Mr Morris demanded. Richardson’s scoff was loud in his ear, which made him more shocked.“I meant what I had asked. Why do you have to always be rude to me? You’ve
Richardson had a dream.A dream where he was back in high school once again. It had been really horrible, leaving Richardson feeling cold with anger once he woke up.It’s been ages since Richardson thought about his time in high school, much less have night mares about it. But he wasn’t really surprised about this nightmare, seeing as Gregg had definitely triggered that nightmare.Richardson’s mouth twisted bitterly, an image of him being forced to drink from a toilet while students watched. Richardson shook that image out of his head and silently wondered if he had been too soft on Gregg by letting him go just like that.Richardson pushed himself out of bed, slipping into a silky robe. It was around four a.m, but Richardson was sure he wouldn’t be able to get any more sleep.He quietly existed his room, absent mindedly glancing around as he walked by. He found himself on the balcony a little while later. And, he sat there, losing himself to his thoughts until the day broke.He got
Mr Morris' heart skipped a few beats while his eyes widened in shock.He tried to mask his facial expression instantly, but wasn’t fast enough, and a bigger smirk tugged at Richardson’s lips knowingly.“I- how did-” Mr Morris spluttered, stumbling over his words.He had been thoroughly shocked just now after Richardson had referred to him with a name which he hadn’t heard in years. A name which he had desperately tried to bury.“You’re not saying a thing.” Richardson pointed out.Mr Morris spluttered once again, not knowing what to think.Richardson barked out a mocking laugh after that. “Who knew you could ever be quiet? Huh?” Mr Morris shifted his weight from foot to foot while clearing his throat. “You should get y- your things and l- leave. Don’t b- bother to beg for an extension of t- the deadline, just take your stuff and g- go.”Richardson snorted as he folded his hands. “Hold on, dear landlord. There’s no need for us to rush things now, is there?”“I have better things to do
