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
Ric packed his belongings off his desk and placed a call to Frank. "Come in,""Young Master, " Frank greeted when he entered into Ric's office.Ric and Frank were very informal outside the office environment but Frank never overstepped his bounds or addressed Ric with the slightest bit of familiarity when Damon was absent."We are going to Melissa." Ric said as he walked to the door and Frank tagged along behind him."We? Do you want to go to her Sir?" Frank asked."She saw my face already so it's no use playing any more games. She knows the truth." Ric said without slowing down or sharing Frank a glance.In the underground parking lot, Frank got into the driver's seat while Ric sat behind. Underground parking lot was one common design with Milano buildings for security reasons."I think your Ex wife only knows what she knows and doesn't know what she doesn't Sir." Frank said watching Ric's mood and expression through the rear view mirror.Everyone was always careful around Ric becaus
Melissa had been summoned by the Boss, she did not need a soothsayer to tell her who was standing in front of her, he had exact same features as her Ex husband Ric and for his hair, he had the same style and suit on as she had just seen but the only difference was that he was a bit more muscular.Melissa had lived with Ric for several years so despite the similarities, she knew that the man before her was not her Ex husband even if he worked out to attain this stature.His jaw line was not as defined and his accent was not fluid, he was not Ric, he was not her Ex husband.That was when Melissa knew she had made a mistake."Answer me!" He barked, making Melissa jump a bit, her eyes went hide with fear and her knuckles turned white as he took calculated strides towards her.Melissa in turn, took recording steps until the back of her leg collided with something and she almost fell over the side table if Mr. Maximilanno did not save her on time."Are you mad? Are you trying to get yoursel
