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
Richardson watched the man before him cough before drinking the water given to him by Tom.“You’ll need to take in more liquid Sire,” suggested Tom. “You lost a lot of energy when you fought with your brother.”“You sly devil,” laughed the man, hacking another cough. “I don’t need more water, I need rest.”With that, he waved Tom away, glancing at Richardson through narrowed eyes.“Right now I can tell from your stance that you’re in need of answers,” sighed the man. “What do you want to know?”“I only hope you’re okay,” Richardson mumbled, wondering if the frail old man before him could still work into the next day. He looked weak and frail. He was like a big baby. “I can take a beating and stand on my two feet, boy,” laughed the man. “I once held two men away from me while fighting a boxer with my other hand. I was a beast in my day.“Richardson had heard so many old men exaggerate about their past dealings but he could believe what his grandfather was saying. The old man was larg
Damien walked to where his grandson stood seeing the young man stare through the window deep in thoughts.He could tell that he was worried about what was going to happen in the future and he had to reassure the man of his involvement in his safety.“You don’t need to be troubled, kid,” the man grunted out a reply, going to sit on a couch with his legs crossed. “After everything you’ve told me, I feel like the chaos in the family. I can tell that this evening would not be the worst we’ve seen. He will come back and it could be worse.”“Elijah is not going to be a bother to you,” he reassured the young man, motioning for him to sit with him. “Trust me on that.”However Richardson knew better. He knew that was not going to be the case at all. He knew the troubles would be much once Elijah shared his tale with the rest of his family.That would make everyone want their pound of flesh taken out of his body.Suddenly it dawned on him that the gathering would soon take place and there was a
“Hey,” he called to her as she paced to where he stood.”“You showed up,” she smiled. “I didn’t know if you were just playing or being serious.”“Me neither,” he chuckled jokingly. “But at least I’m here.”He looked at the trolley behind her. It seemed like she had a lot of work on her hands.“What time would you be off work?” he yawned. He had forgotten to have lunch while at the office due to the work he had had all day. It had been a stressful but short day at work for him.“I’m almost done,” she pointed to the upturned mops in her work station. “A patient threw up in her room so I have to go clean it up. I’ll soon be done.”The thought of a sick patient vomiting in the hospital room made him sick. For one he hated hospitals, secondly, the idea of vomiting in a place such as a hospital gave him goosebumps. He was not a fan of either.“Should I wait for you or…”“I’m done,” she laughed, noticing his upturned nose which he held in disgust. “I just need to drop these in the store a
“Look, I got you out here so we can get you ready for the gathering. You need to relax. You seem tense.”That was because she was tense, he thought to himself.Her cheeks flustered turning red as she released her hands a bit, “It’s my first time being in a place this luxurious before. I feel so out of place.”He understood her dilemma. It was how he felt the first time Tom had taken him to the place as well. It took him a while to adapt to his whole new life and he did not expect her to change overnight.“Sir,” the receptionist called to him as he turned to see her with two of her workmates by her side. “This way please.”He stood to his feet, following the women into the inner stores as Jennie plodded behind him, clanging her slippers noisily on the marble floors.They got into a room filled with expensive designer suits and male clothes as he shook his head.“Is anything the matter, sir?” the lady asked.“I’m not getting anything for myself. A friend of mine would be getting the
“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
