“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 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

    “This doesn’t seem like ‘nothing’.” One of the women standing at the entrance of the building spoke. Richardson couldn’t remember her face.“Wait, is that… Richardson?” The second woman asked, and they all began to inch towards where a little scene had been unfolding in. Richardson recognized this woman, she was someone he had ran into countless times in the hallways and elevators. Richardson cleared his throat without responding, feeling awkward having been placed on the spot. By the look of shock and awe oh the woman’s face, one could tell she was genuinely shocked to see him dressed like this.Richardson was thankful he hadn’t come here in a suit, or in one of his cars, that would have definitely pulled more attention on him. Even though Richardson was dressed in a casual outfit, it was still obvious that he wasn’t wearing regular clothes. “Hello, Helen.” Richardson finally responded. He watched as the woman let out a sequel and – flew into his arms.Richardson was lost. He

    Richardson was busy going through some files in his newly assigned office. The office wasn’t permanent, because as the head of the empire, he can automatically get access to every office and spot, so far the said company was affiliated with his empire.Some of the files records were not adding up, leaving Richardson confused.He had been in this office for over one hour, and had been going through the finance records receipts, and the more he observed, the more some things just doesn’t rhyme together.Richardson was busy wracking his brain and trying to figure out where the problem is from, when his phone began to ring. He answered the call because it kept ringing as soon as the first call stopped.“Hello, can I help you, please?” He said into the phone.“Hello, Mr Wilson. This is Doctor Romeo, the doctor the patient you brought into the clinic two days ago was placed under.” The voice said into the phone and recognized instantly dawned on Richardson.“You dropped your number and re

    A man dressed to kill in a suit that was undoubtedly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, was the main reason for the commotion. He was speaking really loudly, and it was obvious that he was extremely furious. Richardson wondered what the reason for the ruckus could be, just as he noticed a woman who was currently on her knees.She was dressed in one of the hospital’s cleaners uniforms, and had her hands clasped before her while pleading with the angry man.Richardson wondered why she was currently pleading for mercy and out of curiosity, he drew closer to the crowd.Unexpectedly, the man reached out and delivered a sound slap on the kneeling woman’s cheek, which made Richardson flinch, along with the onlookers.The murmurs amongst the crowd went up at that moment, resulting in everyone speaking at once.“Oh my god, he slapped her!” One of them whispered furiously.“Why would he hit her? It wasn’t like she did it on purpose, and she has even apologized.” Another muttered beneath t

    Richardson wasn’t sure he had heard right at first.Instantly, the murmurs admidst the crowd went up a few notches. It was obvious that like Richardson, they were all extremely scandalized.Richardson couldn’t believe his ears. He couldn’t believe that a human could be this crude.“Oh my. Did he really mean that?” A random person exclaimed.“I think so. He didn’t seem like someone who jokes around.” Another one supplied.“But, everyone would see her naked if she did as he had requested.” Another one mused in sympathy.“Serves her prudish ass right. I’ve always been curious of how she looks underneath that gown anyways.” A snort looking man muttered and the men around him snickered.Richardson’s lips curled up in disgust, and then he glanced up at Jennie who was still on her knees.More tears fell down Jennie’s face. “Sir, please… anything but that.”The man shook his head firmly. “That’s the only option I have to offer. You entire do that or prepare to be arrested.” He responded flatl

    “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

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

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.

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.

    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
