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

Melissa was writhing in pain on the floor from the kick she received, she held her side and nursed herself as she tried to get back on her feet. The man that had kicked her was not the same man she was pleading with but one of his aids. "Stay away from the Boss," the man that inflicted her with pain warned strictly and Melissa complied. "I see you are a very good actress, reasons why you were hired not so?" Mr Maximilanno further questioned a crying Melissa. Melissa regretted her actions because her desperation to get audience with Mr Maximilanno had ultimately led to the misconception she found herself in at the moment. "Believe me Sir, no one has sent me and I am not an assassin at all." Melissa pleaded uncertain of her fate since she had no idea where she was and no one was aware of her predicament. Melissa had to plead her way out of the situation otherwise she was certain that she was definitely going to meet the end of her story. "Tell me, how much were you paid and I'll d

"You left this behind," Mr Maximillano dangled Melissa's charger before her eyes and she regretted her decision to visit the Milano company that day.The thought of the decision and the conditions she was given weighed heavy on Melissa's already troubled heart. She had not been coerced but her limited options had compelled her to act unreasonably.Mr Maximillano had asked the impossible from her and she had been left with no other option to save herself so she accepted his terms without protesting.Horn! The sound of a car's horn jolted Melissa to reality again, she had been so lost in the thoughts of her demise that she had not been stepping on the accelerator making her car almost come to a Halt on the highway."If you don't know how to drive then hang a large letter L on your vehicle so we all know you're a loser rather than try to cause an accident woman!" The man that drove the car she gave way to yelled at her ad he drove passed her.Melissa shook her head and concentrated on t

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
