Richardson hated the guts of the woman before him. She had ruined his life and yet she wanted his forgiveness.He did not care about her or what she did at the party so long as she was not in his way. “I…”“Let me finish,” he raised a finger, shutting her instantly. He had spent all his life listening to her speak, it was time she listened to him. “Now, I had my hopes set on you as my mother was unconscious in the hospital. I wanted you Alice. Just you. I had no one else but you and you ditched me!”“Richie…”“I love how all of this is playing out because it shows what kind of person you are and your type disgusts me,” he laughed. “You ditched me for money.”“That’s not…”“…true?” he completed, spreading his arms around. “Look around you girl. Why the actual fuck are you here if not because of that?”“It’s because I love you Richardson.”This statement was what he had not expected to hear from the woman.A light chuckle escaped his lips, “You are delusional, you know that?”“If…”“Y
Driving off into the traffic, Michael slammed his palms across his steering wheel in anger. He had so many embarrassing nights, but this had to be the worst. It had to be at the top of his list.Richardson had thrown him out of a respectable gathering with so many respectable men there. How dare he?! How could he do so with no one stopping him?!Swerving dangerously close to a Nissan with its brake lights on, he flipped off the driver, zooming through the traffic lights.Turning up the volume of his radio, its music blaring dangerously loud from his speakers, he went on to put his foot down on the accelerator.The memory of the party haunted him over and over as he heaved heavily. How he had been carried out with his dignity thrown out of the window. It was crazy to think of.Seeing a bar loom up in the distance, he could feel his throat itch for a drink. He loved the taste of the drink at the party. He wanted something like that.Swerving like a mad man, he parked close to a dumpster
It had been a shock to see the man in an expensive suit but he knew something had happened after their separation.How had he changed so much in so little time? It wasn’t even up to two months and he had gotten rich. What did he do?!He knew when Richardson would beg him for food and he would give him the remnants from his fridge. Their university days had been a bit difficult as he had tried keeping his identity a secret to Richardson.He did not like being associated with him, but he was intelligent and it gave him the open doors he could attain. He had used the man, but it was all for a great cause. If Richardson had known about his money in the university, the man might have requested for some of it which he did not like to give out.He enjoyed making fun of Richardson. He had loved the look on his face after finding out of his affair with his girlfriend.It had elated him so much and made him feel more superior to the poor man.Hitting him across the cheek was part of the plan.
“I love your suit,” a man complimented the suit he had on, causing him to swell with pride.“Thanks,” he sighed, trying to not blush under the dim light. He liked whenever he was the center of attention. That was how Michael had grown up. He had loved being the main character. Even in other peoples stories, he loved being the main center of attention.Getting kicked out of the party had bruised his ego but getting compliments from the bar was healing him up really good.“How much did you get it?” the man went on with more men coming closer to get a feel of his suit. “A hundred thousand dollars,” he replied like he was bored but deep down, he was jumping for joy at the attention he was getting.“Oh my God!” He heard the men gasp in shock at the price with some whistling. Take it all in, he smiled to himself watching the reaction around him with an air of arrogance. It felt good to be rich amongst the poor. He was once again, the center of attention for the men.“Here,” he dropped a
“Where are you going, Sir?” Richardson’s driver asked him as he got into the Bentley, requesting for the keys.“I’m taking her for a little spin, I’ll be back,” he smiled taking the keys from the driver as he started it up.Roaring the car to life, he sped into traffic, heading for Jennie’s abode.“That was the most fun I have ever had,” she clapped her hands for joy. She was elated at how everything had gone for her.She had mingled with so many rich people, lived a life of luxury and had a wonderful night with Richardson. Being his girlfriend had gotten her so much attention.“I did too,” Richardson laughed, slowing down to get into a street way. “I had to deal with my ex and her crazy boyfriend.”“I saw that,” she concurred. “What happened to you both anyway?”Her question took him back to the past as he remembered his time in the company while watching himself dance, the look on his boss’s face as he was getting fired and his surprise to find out about his girlfriends affair with
While driving through the night, he remembered he had not paid her for her services. Stopping at a red light, he took out his phone, dialed her number and listened to the phone ring.“Hello,” her voice came on the phone.“You haven’t slept yet?” he chuckled.“You just left, silly,” she chuckled back. “I was about to make dinner but I was undressing.”“Oh,” he replied, beginning to imagine her sexy body out of her clothes with her naked body in his bed. Focus Richardson, he mentally hit himself.“Anyway, I forgot about your pay. I should have told you about it.”“Oh yeah,” she laughed. “That.”“Yeah, I’ll send it to you once I get home. I got your account number from Tom. Remember you gave it to him during your training session.”“Yes I remember. Just drive safe.”“Sure,” he nodded, watching the lights turn green. “I’ve got to go.”“Alright, bye,” she said before hanging up.He laid his head on the rest while breathing in deeply. There was no need to rush as it was late at night and
Jennie felt extremely giddy immediately she got into her room. She could not believe that she had gotten into fights with rich folks and gone away unscathed. That was a first and it elated her.She had heard stories but not been to any rich party to see how the rich fought.Getting into her room, she stared at the mirror before her. In her dress she looked sexy. No wonder he had stared at her like he had seen a ghost. She could not help but also admire what she had.Taking off the dress while she got ready to have dinner, she found her phone buzzing lightly.It was Richardson.“Hello,” she said over the phone, listening to him breathe. “You haven’t slept yet?” he chuckled. It had a nice ring to it. She could hear him chuckle all day and not get tired of it.“You just left, silly,” she chuckled back. “I was about to make dinner but I was undressing.”“Oh,” he replied. He didn’t say anything and she started to wonder if she had given off too much information. “Anyway. I forgot about y
Three days after the party, Richardson stood at the hospital park waiting for Jennie to join him. He had on a polo with blue jeans. His sneakers screamed of wealth as it was the latest one in the stores.He paced around, kicking about the grasses as he waited for her to join him in the garden. He had grown tired of sitting and playing games on his phone so he was moving around to pass away the time.“Hey,” he heard her call behind as he turned to see her dressed in a decent flower dress. “You’ve been here a long time?”“You know I called you like an hour ago,” he chuckled.“Yeah I did, I’m sorry I lost track of time,” she apologized. “I was working. My boss yelled at me for missing so many days at work so I was trying to make up for it.”“Alright,” he nodded.She looked him over admiring his fashion sense. He was rich. She only needed to fuse with him and all her financial troubles would be a thing of the past. She would not even have to work anymore.“So, shall we?” He pointed to his
