Richardson gets a call from Damien, his grandfather.His grandfather rarely calls, majority of the times, he prefers to send text messages or emails instead.He had called to inform Richardson that he’d like to have a few important words with him once he arrived back at the office.As Richardson shoved his phone back into his pocket, he let a long sigh ease out of his lungs.He was currently leaning against the hood of his car, with his fingers running through his air. It was currently night time, but Richardson wasn’t ready to head home just yet.Richardson was thinking about his life.He had it all now.All that he could ever dream of, and things that he hadn’t ever been able to bring himself to ever think about, was what he now had.Even though he was keeping a low profile, he was still living an extremely comfortable life.A lot of people would kill to be in his spot, a lot of people are definitely out there, extremely jealous of him even though they didn’t know who he was But, s
Richardson slept like a log of wood. The sleep was so peaceful, coupled with the fact that he also had a really nice dream.In the dream, he grew up in his rightful place – in the Wilson’s estate, and his father whom he never got to meet in real life, was present in the dream.Richardson’s father was loving and passionate in the dream, he loved his wife, who was Richardson’s mother so much. Richardson’s childhood was a really happy one in the dream.As soon as Richardson woke up, he tried not to dwell on the dream too much. He also pointedly refused to reflect on how sad and pathetic his real life childhood was.The only great thing about growing up for Richardson, was his mother and nothing else.He shut the blaring alarm and went around his usual morning routine while getting ready. His schedule was quite packed today, and Richardson was looking forward to getting to the bottom of the records he had been analyzing at work yesterday.He decided to wear a brown color suit today. It
Before Richardson left the headquarters which his grandfather had brought him to, he called on Tom to help him bring his car to him from the house, since they both had a meeting to attend together.The meeting was supposed to have been held this morning, but the unexpectedness at which Damien had asked Richardson to accompany him, had made all the meeting be automatically moved forward.Richardson bit his grandfather and promised him to be careful, as he made his way out of the office, into the elevator.On getting into his car which was currently being driven by Tom, Richardson murmured a word of greeting to him as Tom sped up, sliding bank into the busy road. It took over fifty minutes before Tom and Richardson finally arrived at the location for the scheduled meeting.Which was because there had been a little traffic on the road, compared to how free the road had been this morning when Richardson and his grandfather had been headed towards one of the Wilson’s empire's headquarters
Chapter 36 “Wow… it has been a really hectic day.” Richardson muttered to himself before releasing a huge sigh of relief “I guess I should take some time off and get some air.” Richardson said to himself inaudibly as he sat back, relaxing all his weight on the chair and looking up to the ceilingRichardson got up from his desk and grabbed his car keys, making his way out of the office.He got to his car standing beside it and just stood there staring into space lost in his thoughts, he wondered who would be the one to accompany him to the gathering which was happening really soon.“Hmm… maybe I should just go find a supermodel? I think that sounds like a good idea. I would be envied and be the most admired person in the ceremony” Richardson thought to himself, lost in his fantasy of what a perfect supermodel would be like.Richardson got into his car and locked the doors, he picked up his phone and turned on his cellular data, opening his AppStore and next, he searched online d
Jennie’s face changed into a worried one as her smile turned into an unsure one. Her mind raced across millions of scenarios where she had gone wrong with the man before her but nothing seemed to come up.Have I done something wrong? She asked herself multiple times as he kept his smile on.He was still smiling so there was no way for her to be on his bad side. Had he changed his mind after helping her out? Was he here to ask for the money he had used in buying the shoes for the jerk yesterday?“Uhhh… Sir…” she stammered trying to come off as polite with a worried smile taking over her expression. “If you’re here because of the incident that happened yesterday, I’ll apologize.”He looked at her with a confused expression on his face.“If there was any misunderstanding between us I really do apologize but I do not have the money to pay you for the shoes.”“Oh,” Richardson laughed nervously, raising his hands up into the air. “I’m not here for those.”“You aren’t,” she sighed with an
He looked around to see some people around the park giving him the look of awe and respect. When he was poor and had nothing, all he got were hisses and looks of disgust.It was different now.He wondered what would have been his fate if his grandfather had not found him in jail. Maybe he could have been killed and his mother dead. Those thoughts made him shiver, creating visible goosebumps under the lit street lamp.“Are you cold?” Jennie asked in concern, noticing the bumps on his skin. “You seem cold.”He rubbed his hands together, putting them to his mouth to blow hot air into his open palms before dropping them down to his knees. “I’m alright,” he smiled at the woman.The park had children from the hospital playing in it. Their parents watching them in awe in their seats. A thought creeped up in his mind as he shut it down. “Can you dance?” he asked, taking her unawares.“What?”“Can you…?”“I heard you the first time, I’m just…” she stopped, taking in deep and labored brea
“What do you think I am?” she growled turning her hands into a fist.Richardson could see that he had made a mistake and tried to clarify the issue.“I don’t know what you’re thinking about, but it’s not what you think.”“What do you mean you would pay me to go out with you? Do you think I am a sex worker?!”“Okay, first off, reduce your high tones. We are having a conversation not a fight. And secondly, I am not paying you to go out with me. I am paying you for something else entirely.”That seemed to calm the enraged woman who was now comfortable with him.“You should have led with that,” she sighed, releasing her tender shoulders. “You really should work on your conversation starters.”“Sure, I will,” he laughed. “What is the money for then?” She was not going to feel safe until he had fully explained the terms to her.“Well, I want you to keep my identity a secret to people out there?”“What identity?” she asked, wondering what he was talking about.“After we go to the party, yo
Running through the hallway leading to his grandfather's study, he heard the commotion coming not from the study but from a different direction. “To your right young master!” yelled Tom running behind him. “Thanks Tom!” he yelled back, taking a sharp turn to see his grandfather in the study with someone else in there with him.The man was not as old as his grandfather but he looked like him. He could tell from the suit and the expensive jewels he had on that he was wealthy. He did not need a soothsayer to tell him that the man was a part of the family.Richardson wanted to intervene but Tom held his hand from going any further.“You can’t be serious!” the man yelled out. “You are a selfish and self centered man. Why give a stranger everything in the empire?! You don’t know anything about him.”“I know he is my son's flesh and blood which makes him my own flesh and blood. And don’t you tell me what I can or can’t do with my own empire!”Damien’s voice thundered in the large sitting
