The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 108
Aaliyah was in shock, her body vibrated as she struggled to come to terms with the revelation her eyes beheld. This was the same man that she had decided to give a chance and entrust her safety to.Curiosity got the better part of Aaliyah and she decided to follow him.It was a risky decision but Aaliyah had always been careful most of her life and there was never much of a difference so why not.The man had his back to her and Aaliyah did not want to jump into conclusion immediately so she kept her mind blank and clear with the possibility that it was just someone with the same physique as who she suspected.Aaliyah did not know much of him and all she could do was follow.While Aaliyah followed, a certain man at a distance had also been watching her and following her.He also had a habit of keeping his eyes in her but when his trail led him to a warehouse, he was alarmed and he immediately changed his focus."They are heading to the warehouse, clear all evidence." It was a short ca

Aaliyah was half conscious but she was still able to see where he took her, the blood smeared on her arm dripping down staining her cloth made her even more anxious but she remained calm.She could not feel any pain on that arm."Where's your car?" Ormond asked when they were a distance from the scene."I - I parked it and the entrance of the park." Aaliyah's voice shook, a resplendent indication that she was scared. Ormond was careful, his arm felt weak but he endured and navigated his way to her car on the other side.Aaliyah felt sick in her stomach, she hated to see blood, she had a phobia yet she had seen it on her own skin."Where's your key?" Ormond kept on making small talk with Aaliyah to keep her conscious at least until he could get her to help and safety."Just keep your eyes open," Ormond said as he laid her in the car.Aaliyah's body trembled. She was still shaken by the scene she beheld."No, don't leave me, please." She pleaded with Ormond when he attempted to close th

"How did they find out?" Ric slammed his fist on the desk and questioned those who stood with him.A lot had happened and Ric and his men had been forced to evacuate the vicinity immediately the warehouse was blown up."They are one step ahead, someone is following us or you," Lord Gullathova commented on response to the question Ric had thrown openly. Everyone else dreaded to reply as Ric's fury was at its peak already.There was no way they could k ow which party was being followed since they had all arrived through separate routes and at separate times. It was difficult to ascertain since the person and waited for them to be complete before opening fire."What if they have someone on the inside, right here amongst us." Johnson Rogers said.These where the only two people that dared speak in response to Ric.Ric was no Mafia Lord but his natural first and cold demeanor coupled with his very short fuse of a temper kept them walking on ice."The stakes were too high Tonight and it wa

Aaliyah laid down in the soft sheets, her mind filled with pictures from the night. Ormond had stepped out after laying her to rest."May I come in?" A feminine voice called but Aaliyah was too weak to respond so she nodded slightly. The tendency that the person at the door saw her head move was very unlikely but the person at the door let herself in all the same."How are you feeling my dear? Let me tend to your wounds." A warm voice accompanied by warm hands cradled Aaliyah into a sitting posture. Aaliyah noticed that the person attending to her was a woman in perhaps her late forties or early fifties. "I - am - not - hurt. He is." Aaliyah counted her words as she spoke. She had no physical injuries however her mind was greatly scarred.The woman had a warm smile and a certain glow about her, Aaliyah noted that though the woman looked young and lovely, they were lines of age at the sides of her eyes hence the age conclusion Aaliyah had drawn.Aaliyah got no response, the woman p

With no other option and against her will, she found herself in a dark place as she lost consciousness of her environment.Once again another foolish decision. When Aaliyah opened her eyes again, a pair of dreamy green eyes watched her, she blinked severally and his finely sculpted jawline came into view. It was a gentle caress in her face that had woken her up."Ahhhh!" Aaliyah shrieked when she discovered that a man was in her room."Hey, calm down. It's just me." A masculine voice comforted her as he reached his hand out to her. She shifted in the sheets, that was when she noticed she was covered in a duvet.Taking in her surrounding, the memories came flooding back, the room she laid in was unfamiliar yet welcoming to her subconscious mind."Fine, I'll stand back if that is what you want." His voice made her return her attention to him. "What are you doing here?" She asked.She didn't ask who he was because a fragment of her memory already answered the question."I came to check

Ormond searched his brain for an excuse to Aaliyah but his brain was not producing one at the pace he wanted. Ormond stared a bit longer than normal at Aaliyah and she raised a suspicious brow at his growing silence. It didn't take long for Aaliyah to feel dizzy, she began to see Ormond in several places, the floor spun before her eyes and merged with the well patterned POP ceiling. "Are you ok?" Ormond asked rushing to her side when he saw the way she swayed.Aaliyah could barely understand the way she felt. Her limbs were nunb and her mind hazy.She was slowly loosing consciousness of her reality again. No matter how hard she fought to regain control of herself she could not."What is happening to me?" Aaliyah beckoned as she fell into Ormond's hand."I think it's the trauma from yesterday." He guided her carefully before lifting her off the floor when she could not move."You have to be really careful." Freya cautioned Ormond, a face mask over her face and a spray bottle in her h

Outside the Gullathova Mansion, a conversation had ensued between two people in the same vehicle."I hope I'll see you soon. Drive around the city with you maybe." Ormond told Aaliyah.Aaliyah smiled indeed ot was going to be a beautiful option to explore but Aaliyah was still loyal to someone."There's something I didn't tell you. I am getting married in a couple of weeks and my engagement date has been fixed as well, I hope you understand. "Ormond nodded, a bitter smile playing at the corner of his lips."I know he is dangerous and I heard everything you told me. I will be careful but we can't be seen together often if we are going to pull this off successfully and I don't want to break my grandfather's heart." Aaliyah explained."I understand your meaning very well. I'll stop here so we don't draw too much attention to ourselves. " Ormond alighted from the car and watched it drive into the Gullathova mansion gate."Gullathova girl." He said before entering into the Mercedes that p

Lord Gullathova had made a mental note to up the security of the Gullathova Mansion and his close family members but when he got home the night before and heard of Aaliyah's absence, he had been so worried through the night that he didn't effect any change.Lord Gullathova had remained in the sitting room till dawn and had not stopped spitting treats when Aaliyah didn't return before breakfast. His mind had played games on him especially because they had shut down all the cameras in the city so he could not track her movement after she left the restaurant where she had dinner with Ric and the others.The night before was a blank spot in timeNo one had breakfast and everyone paced the floor so hearing that there was a guest, Lord Gullathova was skeptical even if Aaliyah was back already."Did you get his details?" Lord Gullathova asked cautiously."No Sir, he would not say anything about his identity. He said to give you this." The card handed a small card to Lord Gullathova, it looke

Inside the Conover Club, Ric and two others were seen at a table. Ric sat quietly and observed the event. The Grahams had lavishly spent on the drinks and food there was more than enough to go round yet Ric was not bothered with eating anything."Will you just sit there and act like you don't want to have a taste of these luxury dishes?" Alessandro found Ric on the table where he sat and taunted him.Ric did not waste his time to look up at Alessandro, he was more concerned about the feedback from the assignment Melissa was working on."Come on, don't act all busy. We all know just how jobless you are since you can't secure a job be a of your status as Ex convict." Alessandro intentionally let out this information and just like he anticipated, the people seated on the table with Ric exchanged uncomfortable glances."Is he really an Ex convict?""The man seems to be ignoring him, he may be bluffing.""He didn't deny it, maybe it's true."The couple were not comfortable with the knowled

"What is happening here?" Camille had finally remembered he was to pick Ric at the entrance and had rushed over. Good thing he only met the end of things."Ask your guests." Frank shrugged before tossing the gun in his hand at Camille's feet."This not some shooting range, why did you bring a gun along?" Camille paled at the sight of the gun at his feet."I didn't, just borrowed it from one of them so like I said before 'Ask your guests.' Will you?" Frank lied.He never went anywhere fully armed with more than just a pistol even when he wore just a polo shirt and combat shorts.Frank wasn't exactly the careless type and he wasn't going to take chances with the young Master at all."Please no weapons allowed inside." Camille put his hands together and beckoned on them that was when he noticed the three wounded men."Oh shit!" His eyes widened in shock alarmed."Y'all already had a complete show down didn't you?" Camille looked to all of them and Frank smiled politely."I already told y

When Ric appeared at the gate of the Conover Club, he was quite mesmerized by the beauty of the infrastructure. He had expected it to look beautiful but the pictorial panoramic view he had envisaged, was nothing compared to what his eyes beheld."Excuse me Sir, please can I see your membership card?" One of the security guards interrupted his thoughts about the place."I'm sorry but I don't quite have that" Ric was naturally a polite person so it was nothing to him to respond kindly to a lowly security guard."I'm sorry Sir, but your card type is the determining factor for the entry access you are granted" the security man was not being rude since Ric had dressed up properly and looked like a rich man, however, he was only doing his job."That won't be any trouble, I'll just call my friend to come out" the Conover club was a place reserved for only the richest of richest. Some of these accesses, Johnson could give Ric to drive through preferential gates but Ric severally declined unwi

Melissa did not care to know if Aaliyah was romantically involved with the man she saw with her, rather, Melissa was more interested in emphasizing on how much of a loser Ric was and also to put a stain on Aaliyah's integrity subtly without getting her directly involved."What are you talking about?" Aaliyah asked uncomfortably. Aaliyah felt guilty because she had been spending a lot of time with Ormond and she felt attacked by Melissa's statement.Actually, Aaliyah had entered into the store and seen Ric, she had not wanted to create an awkward scenery of Ric running into Ormond with her, it was not as if Ormond was unaware of Aaliyah's engagement with Ric but Aaliyah just thought that it was better if they did not meet."Oh, I said nothing actually. I only stated the obvious. Look, I am not saying anything to offend you, the only thing is that you are about to make a very big mistake by subjecting yourself in marriage to such a loser." Melissa was intentional with her words, she int

When the lady heard what Melissa said about Ric, she was a bit Ashamed of what was being said. The lady was Aaliyah.She had been passing and had only been oppurtuned to hear what Melissa said and because the man in question was related to her as her Fiance she had paid better attention.She had observed Melissa closely from her distance and concluded that indeed she was Ric's Ex wife."He is still so useless." Melissa scoffed annoyed.Melissa had dropped the items she carried in her car before she recalled she had wanted to pick an extra item and she had to return to the store in a rush.It was on her way back inside the store that she had bumped into Aaliyah on her way out."Oh, please watch where you're going." Aaliyah said politely when someone bumped into her.Melissa was rather rude, despite just being humiliated, she could just never change. That was how she was."You should also keep your eyes open to step aside before someone crashes into you accidentally." Melissa snapped at

Melissa was bothered about how she was expected to pay such high bills that Ric himself could not afford to pay. Frank was going to further play his game but Ric gave his hand a gentle squeeze and stopped him."You see, I was not going to pay for any of these if you were not present. Frank here was going to do it." Ric stated factly."Yes, I know how to reward those who are loyal to me handsomely and how to..." Frank paused and smirked. Melissa had her heart in her mouth when Ric remained expressionless, she feared that he would ignore Damon and keep her on her knees for longer but she was wrong.Ric was not like that, he did not intentionally hurt people or their images for self gratification or cheap glory and moreover, Damon had a right over him since he also considered Damon as his older brother.When Frank noticed Ric gave no response, Frank was ready to prolong Melissa's suffering."Oh Mel it seems you would have to-""Let it be Frank," Ric held up a hand to frank and stopped

Melissa was puzzled but then again she thought to herself that Frank surely was in a disguise around Ric so Ric didn't know who he truly was.That was just how Melissa was, it was better for her to think that way than for her to admit to herself that Ric could have such a powerful friend that frightene

Damon had stood aside watching for a while until he could no longer contain it by standing in the corner so he spoke up.He was met with silence from Ric and also frank."Damn it Damon!" Frank cursed under his breath annoyed. If Damon had not showed up then Frank already had a full line up for Melissa to give her a taste of her own medicine but Damon's intervention was definitely a change to the fate destined for her by Frank.Frank knew that there was no way Ric was going to continue after seeing Damon.Damon could be said to be Ric's weak point after his mum since Damon was the only person Ric considered family."Ric?" Damon called out to him when he got no response but Frank answered instead."Oh Damon it's not what you think. Melissa here is just really sorry and repentant for all the things she had done to Ric in the past and thought to render an apology." Frank smiled but Damon wasn't buying it.Even if Damon had not seen much, he knew Melissa very well."Are you sure about what

Melissa's legs felt like jelly when the words hit her ear drums. She was expected to apologize to Ric and that too on her knees."Is there a problem Melissa?" Frank was going to surely see to the end of it all.Just as the drama was taking place, Damon came back.Melissa was already on her knees before Ric but her lips were heavy, she found it difficult to apologize to Ric.It would have been easier for Melissa to render the apology to a complete stranger than for her to apologise to Ric. Even if Ric looked clean, Melissa was not willing to accept that he was worth being treated more than a street begger.Yes! She thought that lowly of him."Say the words, I don't have all day to waste here." Ordinarily Ric would have stopped Melissa and ended all the drama but this once he chose to put her in her place."You! Don't even try to act high and mighty because I'm apologizing to you." She was quick to raise her voice and scold him but she had lost her voice ever since when it came renderin
