Richardson was stunned into shock at the man’s words, and he made himself glance around the entire area to be sure that this man right here was indeed referring to him and not someone else.
“Excuse me?” Richardson managed to croak out.
The man whose suit’s texture was as smooth as butter, went ahead to bow his head, which unnerved Richardson so much that he almost dropped to his knees as well.
“Pardon my disrespect, sir, I’m here to pick you up.” The man spoke once again, and Richardson wasn’t sure of what to make of what he was hearing right now.
“Are you sure you have the right person, Mister?” Richardson asked skeptically while taking a long look at the tattered clothes on his body, and the silky suit this man right here was in.
‘He definitely has the wrong person right now.’ Richardson thought to himself.
“I’m very certain that I do, sir.” The man responded, and Richardson instantly felt skeptical.
“Why are you here to pick me up? I didn’t do a damn thing, you probably have the wrong person.” Richardson shot out defensively, while taking a few steps backwards.
Richardson’s eyes roved around the street to check if he'd find something suspicious or unusual, but he found nothing. The street was almost empty, except for a few people going around their different businesses.
The man whose suit definitely cost thousands of dollars instantly threw his hands up in surrender while taking a step closer to Richardson.
“We knew you didn’t do a thing wrong, and I’m very certain that you’re the person I was sent to pick up.”
Richardson took another step backwards while still feeling very skeptical.
Was he supposed to just get into the man’s car without questions? Who the hell does that?
“I’m sorry I didn’t come earlier, sir, which made you spend the night here in a cell, please pardon my inadequacy.”
The man spoke after a moment while bowing his head again, and that was when Richardson knew who was behind his sudden release from the prison.
But, why would the man do that for someone like me? What use could I ever be to him, for him to get me out of prison this morning? Richardson silently asked himself.
“Thank you for getting me out of prison,” Richardson said after a few moments, feeling honestly grateful for that.
“It’s not a problem, sir.”
“But, why did you get me out though?” Richardson asked.
The man clasped his hands together, and Richardson noticed the gleaming Rolex on the man’s wrist, as he spoke. “I’m afraid I can’t disclose the reason just yet, sir.”
“Who sent you to pick me up then?” Richardson asked again.
“I can’t disclose any actual information, sir, and I’m deeply sorry about that. If you’d just come with me, all your questions would be answered.” The man responded.
Richardson shook his head and took another step backwards. “I can’t come with you because I don’t know you.”
“And, no offense but I do not trust you… Thank you for getting me out of the prison though, I really do appreciate it.”
“I do understand your skepticism, sir, and I know you do have a lot of questions.” The man spoke, and Richardson gave a sharp nod of his head.
“If you want to get answers to all the questions you have right now, there’s someone who can help you with that.”
“Who’s that?”
“A Chief head executive. He’d tell you everything you wish to know, and I’m certain all your questions would be answered by the time you’re done with him.” The man continued.
Richardson kept nodding his head even though he was already silently thinking of ways to escape from this man’s attention and go on his own way. He had a lot of problems at the moment and hated that his time was being wasted here.
“Where is he? I want to go to him.” Richardson asked and the man pointed down the street.
“He’s somewhere over there, in a car. You can ask him whatever you want and he'll answer all of it.” The man continued.
Richardson nodded his head slowly. “Thank you, I’ll go to him right now. Thank you for getting me out of prison once again.”
And then he slowly started walking in the direction the man had pointed him to.
Richardson wasn’t dumb. They probably thought he was, thinking he was really going to go meet an unknown person for some answers.
With the look of things, Richardson was sure that man was a bad person. Perhaps a kidnapper or a human trafficker, and that thought made Richardson hasten his steps.
The man was probably going to drive him to where he’d be killed and all his organs would be removed, had he agreed to get into the man’s car. Richardson thought to himself in disgust.
He was planning on heading home, when he felt different pairs of strong hands on him, holding him tightly when he vigorously struggled to get out of their hold.
He had probably missed the sounds of their footsteps while he was deep in thoughts, he thought to himself as he got dragged towards a car.
Richardson tried to free himself to no avail, the men were very strong. They got him into the back seat of a luxurious looking car, and one of them bowed to him while speaking.
“I’m sorry, young master. I have to take you back today.”
Richardson couldn’t make sense of that, nor could he make sense of why he was being taken against his will. His heart was racing, he was convinced he was being driven to his ultimate doom.
Richardson grew rigid with shock when the car finally slowed down, as the gates of an impossibly huge estate got opened for it.
And as the car drove into the estate, so did Richardson’s shock and confusion intensified. Richardson didn’t know what to think, or what to make of this particular situation.
He alighted the car when the door got pulled open, and one thing he definitely hadn’t expected, was for everyone to keep blowing down to him in respect as he walked past them.
The compound of where he was being led through, was impossible huge, with ridiculously high walls. The flooring of the entire place was done with gleaming marbles, and the part which he was being walked through, had the finest looking tiles he has ever seen.
There was a large waterfall located in the middle of the large expanse of space, and flowers were brown in different spots of the compound. A few marble statues stood tall and proud in different spots as well.
From what Richardson had seen so far, he was convinced that the owner of all of these was impossibly rich, which made more sense for him to be an organ trafficker.
Richardson began to feel immensely scared once again, as he got led into a tall, heavily decorated room, whose chandeliers and walls lights almost blinded him.
A man walked out from a door which Richardson hadn’t noticed before, with his hand spread out. He looked matured enough to be in his late seventies, and the luxurious suit he had on, made Richardson feel more out of place.
“Finally. Welcome home, my grandson.” The man said after he stopped a few feet away from Richardson.
Richardson froze up in shock, and then he blinked slowly while racking his brains. The man’s words kept echoing around in his head, but it made zero sense to him.
“‘Grandson’? My grandfather died years ago!”

Richardson wasn’t sure of how to react to that statement, nor did he understand how he was supposed to make sense of this current situation.

After Richardson signed the spot on the document with slightly shaky fingers, his grandfather shook his hand while beaming excitedly.“Congratulations, Richardson. You’re officially the owner of the empire now.”Richardson was speechless, but he found his voice after a fleeting moment which he used in thanking his grandfather.His grandfather waved him off with a low chuckle as he sauntered towards the area in his study where a bar was located to fetch a drink.“I think we should toast to this.” He said while pouring the drink which Richardson already knows would be nothing but the very best version. Richardson shook his head politely. “I think I’ve been through a lot today already, wouldn’t want to overwhelm my brain more.”His grandfather guffawed at that while downing a glass of the said drink. “You’re probably right. I must be in need of dire rest as it is.”Richardson watched as his grandfather picked up a telephone which was gold in color. He spoke to someone through the phone w

“Your grandfather had ordered that we visit one of the automotive companies beneath the empire, in order to pick some cars of your choice.”Tom said just as they existed the bank where Richardson had been treated like a president, with so much respect that almost overwhelmed him.“To pick some cars?” Richardson echoed after Tom as they got back into the Rolls Royce which was held open by the driver.“Yes, young master. It’s part of what you need now that you’re the owner of the empire.” Tom explained and Richardson nodded, while his head reeled.The car moved smoothly and Richardson comfortably settled against the spotless leather of the chairs in the car, allowing himself to relax.He kept twirling the black card around his fingers due to his excitement.

Right there, walking into the building together, was Alice and Michael, his girlfriend and best friend. They were both holding hands and plastered against each other.To say Richardson was shocked, would be an understatement.Richardson got to his feet just as his best friend and girlfriend noticed him, and began to walk in his direction.“Look who’s here right now.” Michael mused and Alice giggled like Michael had said the funniest thing ever.They both thoroughly looked him up and exchanged a glance, and Richardson silently cursed himself over, for not insisting on purchasing some clothes before coming here.“Isn’t this the clothes you were in before you were arrested?” Alice asked and Michael hummed.“Those are the clothes, Alice. Did you think he’d be able to afford a change of clothes?” Michael snickered and Alice tutted.“Absolutely not. He’s way too broke for that.”Their voices were starting to get loud. Richardson had initially planned to ignore them, but now that their voice

Michael didn’t understand what was happening. After he had stumbled upon Richardson here, he had gleefully thought that this would finally be his moment for him to flaunt his wealth, which he had done a good job at keeping a secret for years, right in Richardson’s face. He had been doing a great job at that at first, and by how Rildhardson had remained silent throughout, he had thought his plan was already working out.But, that had been before everything had turned around right before him, when Richardson who had been thrown out, returned with a man who looked like he compared power.

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.
