The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 113
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

Melissa's heart raced fast at every step Ric took closer to the bathroom door. Her plan was going as she 2anted but the one reality of the identity of the man she intended to seduce plagued her.A million thoughts ran through her mind and she looked around for where to hide, though the bathroom space was vast and luxuriously furnished, there was no hiding place.Ric turned the door knob and let himself in, he walked straight to the wash sink and splashed cold water on his face."Damn! I need to get passed this." Ric stared at his reflection in the mirror perplexed and disturbed, his troubled mind was on several things. He had his wedding to Aaliyah was fast approaching so the emergence of more drama eluded his wildest imagination.Melissa held her breath and did not as much as breathe until Ric left the place. Melissa had hid herself in the bath tub and pulled the curtain over."Another meeting in two hours Sir," someone politely said to Ric, the voice was faint and it convinced Meli

Melissa had successfully exited the building unnoticed but the information she gained access to that day, still shook her. She stopped outside the building and tried to catch her breath.She had her her hands on her knees and she was bent over so air could flow to her lungs, subconsciously in the bathroom and along the walk way she has been holding her breath especially when she got to the reception area and had to casually walk out the door with out drawing attention to herself.The receptionist had still stopped her. She had frozen in her spot when the receptionist had said, "Are you leaving already Ma'am?"Melissa intended to ignore her but she knew it would only make the receptionist suspect her so she resolved to answering politely."Yes please, I just got a call. I have an emergency at home. I'll be back tomorrow. " Melissa flashed a very Beautiful smile.Melissa was a very beautiful woman and it was difficult for anyone to deny her any request when she smiled so lovingly.Catch

Melissa looked at the phone severally. Ric hanging up without saying a word only confirmed her suspicions."Damn it! How did I miss it that Ric was the short form of Ricardo?" Melissa was angry at herself for overlooking such minute detail."What is his damn surname?" Melissa fumbled with her phone to call her Dad. She had not changed her surname after marrying Ric so she never really knew his surname.When she repeatedly tapped on the finger print on the screen an the phone won't just light up like a bulb, she discovered she had a low barter and her phone had actually gone off.The line went dead on her end first.Her mind became even more disturbed, what will he think of her ending the call on him?She needed to power her phone immediately and speak to Ric, she needed to convince that she truly loved him, she needed to mend her relationship with him before he married that Gullathova girl; Aaliyah.Melissa rummaged her bags and found nothing. Her phone charger wasn't there, just her

Arizona fell silent, she felt as though Melissa's words were blasphemy, the Milano Group president was reverred like a God in the city and it was more impossible than not that he would grant Melissa audience so Arizona became suspicious of Melissa's claim."You saw him? Where?" Arizona's expression went from shocked to quizzical."You don't believe me and I know I sound stupid but I got into his office and I saw his face." Melissa emphasized at her attempt to convince Arizona."Let's say I believe that you magically gained access into the office of the most influential man in the city and he let you see his face, do you also expect me to believe that he let you walk out of there free to tell?" Arizona had a point, Melissa covered her face with both her hands in frustration.Whatever explanation she was going to give was going to sound dumb but she had to find the perfect reasonable explanation."Listen to me, I was waiting to see him and the secretary went to use the bathroom. I slipp

When Arizona got outside, she saw Melissa drive off."Melissa! Melissa!" Arizona tried to run after Melissa's car but she did not meet up, especially because two extra cars had driven behind Melissa making it impossible for Melissa to see Arizona through the rear view mirror.Unable to catch up, Arizona stopped and sighed. She regretted her decision and choice of words."Oh Mel, please don't be angry with me, I should have not responded to you that way." Arizona felt a bit sad as she stood a bit dejected soliloquizing.In the car, Melissa drove steady, her heart thumping fast in her ribcage. Her pulse irregular as she feared her fate. Worst still her phone was completely out so there was no way she could text anyone for help secretly.Sweaty palms held the wheel tight as Melissa followed after the vehicle in front of her.They got to a traffic stop and Melissa had a crazy idea pop up in her head, she could quietly unbuckle her seat belt and slip out of the car and get lost between th

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
