Ric narrowed his eyes and the agitated sorry looking property owner as he paced like a headless chicken unable to believe his fate, he had been very pompous earlier now he had lost everything in just the blink of an eye and he did not know who to blame or beg since Ric didn't accept responsibility for his demise."Excuse me Sir, the estate authority and management has requested we make sure you never step foot on this property again," a security van had pulled over and uniform security men addressed the property owner."What are you talking about?" The man looked confused, even if the property was seized at least he still has his human right of freedom to move about."A restraining order has been passed against you and this entire estate as well as the residents outside the premises." The head security informed him politely and patiently before leading him to his own vehicle and driving away behind him as escort.Damon could barely believe how fast his fortune had turned."Brother! Di
Ric already said what he said and he meant it because he had carried along with him enough cash to avoid questions from Damon if he paid with his black card.A lot of people had left the shopping they came to the store for and now watched the drama, whispers also went around."Le Teté sells really quality and amazing products, I wonder how that man intends to pay for all the items in his trolley?""He seems very confident, maybe the store also sells cheaper less quality items than the original which maybe within his capacity.""He doesn't look like someone that can comfortably afford a three square meal. If he has life savings he should not waste it on such expensive clothing items."While some people were of the opinion that Ric boasted unjustly, some thought that he was foolish to take spend all his money on clothes just to feel high and mighty.Damon noticed people talking and also wanted to have a look at the pompous poor man that different shoppers spoke about."Our store is popu
Damon had kept quiet until they reached his old rickety car. He was going to ask Ric about what just happened."Are you no longer getting the items from another store?" Damon asked Ric when the both of them were seated in the car."No, I am already running late for the appointment I have at the Milano Casino. Do you know how to get there?" Ric said in his very calm manner."Yes I know there but do you mind explaining to me what just happened and why you're going to the Milano Casino? That place is for the top one percent in this city." Damon asked curious unable to make sense of all that was happening."Just happened? What do you mean?" Ric shrugged and asked unbothered as he stared at the road ahead."How did you get so much money?" Damon was genuinely concerned and hoped Ric did not start dirty jobs to make money."Oh that, there's more even." Ric laughed and Damon was puzzled even more. Ric wanted to tell Damon the truth but Damon's reaction told Ric that it was not the right time f
When Ric walked in to the meeting room, there was a large round oak table with about four doors around. He read the labels on each door and immediately knew which one to go through.He found dark shades placed strategically with the label Chairman and he easily unlocked the glass box and retrieved the shades before entering the room.When he walked in after scanning his finger and eyes, he saw a long conference table and five men sat around it making him the sixth.They were so far apart and each wore shades which made it difficult to tell who was who.The men were shocked to see such a beggarly dressed man walk in and assume the empty seat and the head of the table but none made a comment because they knew only the chairman himself could gain such access.All five men stood to acknowledge Ric and only returned to their sitting positions when he had fully settled into his seat.A system popped before Ric and Lazer rays scanned him and a profile appeared for all to see. When his name Ri
"Take me to him immediately please," Ric said hurriedly, he had a lot of things to say to his father and maybe some stories would be told better by his fist.The man shook his head."I am sorry Sir, the security of this place allows only one person use na exit so that door is completely disabled for security reasons already." The man informed Ric.Ric nodded slowly, these Elites were really very cautious with security measures."I am Clarke DeVille from our of Avrilla city." The man took off his shades and introduced himself to Ric. Ric thought to do same but a thought crossed his mind before he took of his glasses and he immediately left them on."Ric Mar---" Ric paused. "Ric Maximillano, you know who I am already." Ric corrected himself.Ric had decided to not reveal his identity to the man even if he was in the close circle, he thought that if his father had put these security measures in place and insisted he alone became Chairman then they definitely had black cats within as well.
Lisa could not pretend any longer since he was not a rich and privileged Man."Aaliyah Gullathova." Aaliyah introduced herself lost in Ric's captivating blue eyes and charm."We have to go now," Lisa immediately snatched Aaliyah's hand from where it was joined with Ric's and pulled her friend away.Ric stood there transfixed as he watched Aaliyah's retreating form. She had well outlined curves and she was tall. Maybe a five feet eleven, she was slender and her long black hair fell loosely over her shoulders so and the dress she wore accentuated her long legs.Ris did not pursue after them rather he returned to the car and met Damon offloading the items into the trunk of the car so he lent him a hand.Ric absentmindedly stuffed the things into the car alongside side Damon while his mind was preoccupied with Aaliyah's soft facial features. Her pouty pink lips and pointed nose. Her puppy brown eyes and perfect dentition."Who were they?" Damon asked Ric."Who?" Ric had no idea what Damon
Ric rose early in the morning as he had a culture of rising early no matter how late he slept. Ric was surprised to find the space beside him empty and the sheets on that side was still neatly laid out.Ric dropped on his knees and said a prayer before studying the Rhapsody of Realities devotional he had found in the Chairman suit and carried with him.If he was going to pull through a lot of things then he needed to somewhat believe in something.He put on some running sneakers he had before he went to jail and a small sport short and jersey top before leaving the house for a run.When Ric returned, Damon who was asleep on the couch in the living room when Ric had left was fully awake and busy in the backyard tending to his garden."If I had a body as nice as yours, I'll never wear running shoes in my life." Damon teased a perspiration soaked Ric."That's why you don't have the build that I have." Ric replied Damon before retrieving a glass and some fresh juice from the fridge to refr
When Ric and Damon arrived the event venue, they were very neatly dressed in suits of similar fashion and luxury that stood out amongst others.Damon handed the keys to the new Mercedes to the valet and both men walked in as camera lights flashed from every direction.It was a masquerade ball so everyone wore a mask and everyone was curious to know who the new Chairman of the Hemsworth board was, news had already spread like wild fire about the Chairman being the lost Dragon heir of Lord Maximillano another anonymous figure to the public eye.The ball was filled with people in and out of Avrilla city because most people wanted to know who the chairman was since they never knew Lord Maximillano, a lot of people expected that since the new Chairman has suspended Lord Maximillano before he retired, he would do things differently and reveal his identity.Rumor already had it that he was a simple man that chose to live in Avrilla city amongst common people despite all of his riches and infl
