The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 20
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

Ric walked in with Damon to meet someone."I think you should wait for her at the table alone," Damon told Ric when they accessed the restaurant address they were given.Lord Gullathova had insisted that Ric met his granddaughter even if Ric had agreed to the marriage.Ric sat at the table number he was given dressed in a casual White dress shirt with several buttons from the collar left undone.He busied himself with pending work he had left incomplete to attend this blind date. The only thing he knew about his date was that she was the grand daughter of the man he had just entered into a business deal with.He had told the man he did not care what his granddaughter looked like since he was marrying her based on the conditions stated in their agreement and to Ric it was a fair deal on both sides.Two beautiful and familiar ladies pushed open the restaurant door and chatted away, one had jet black hair while the other had blonde hair."What do you think he will look like?" The blonde h

In the Gullathova Mansion, Lord Gullathova threw a party, he invited all his family members and close relatives saying he had an important announcement to make."Attention everyone." Lord Gullathova clinged his glass to get the attention of everyone around the table and there was silence."We are gathered today because I want announce to you all that my grand daughter Aaliyah will be getting married soon." Lord Gullathova spoke very confidently but Aaliyah did not look very happy."Father, did you really find a rich man for our Aaliyah?" Aaliyah's mother Charlene immediately asked excited. She knew how much her father in law loved her daughter and often bragged about how he was going to make sure he married her to a very rich and influential man."Oh, my Dear Aaliyah surely deserves the best and soon everyone will meet her husband, as for now enjoy the party." Lord Gullathova concluded.When Aaliyah got a chance, she approached her grandfather and questioned him."Grandpa," she called

When Ric and Damon got home, both men were exhausted and completely exasperated but Damon had something weighing on his mind.Damon; his excitement mixed with concern ultimately caged him in an intricate web of uncertainty."Do you really trust this process?" Damon inquired from Ric who changed out of his clothes into a casual attire. The day was still very young and noon was yet.Ric had a lot of documents to review in his new position as Chairman and a lot of get acquainted to do, the last thing he wanted was to explain himself to his friend who was not going to understand the reason for his decision."What are you talking about?" Ric always had this extra cool demeanor about him that portrayed to others that nothing ever bothered him.Ric was always carefree yet meticulous and calculated, this personality combination was one thing his friend Damon could never wrap his finger about."You accepted to marry the Gullathova girl on the spot last night and by this morning you're meeting h

"Who do we have here?" Ric looked over his shoulder at the sound of the voice to find Shirley, his wife Melissa's cousin and her Fiance Dexter.Shirley and Dexter never liked Ric and never hesitated to humiliate him at every opportunity they got especially when he was still married to Melissa.Now that Ric and Melissa were divorced surely, Shirley and Dexter had been starved of the opportunity to torment and humiliate Ric with their taunts as usual."Hello Ric," Dexter mocked as he extended his hand to Ric but Ric would not accept it."Oh well if you're having trouble gaining access I can help you but you seem to be very proud." Dexter continued with a smirk on his face.Dexter had welcomed the opportunity to humiliate Ric and better still it was going to impress Shirley if he showed that he was superior to Ric so why not?"Thank You but I don't need your help gaining access." Ric declined and it hurt Dexter's Ego."Who do you think you are?" Shirley queried "Simply because someone wa

When Mr Lombardi said those words, the security immediately granted Ric access, Mr. Lombardi had intentionally invited Ric to the event to evaluate his wealth and influence and he was a bit disappointed when he discovered that Ric did not even have as little as a Milano Garden gold card."Brother, did you forget your card at home or do you not have one at all?" Mr. Lombardi asked this question to ascertain the extent of Ric's wealth and influence.However, Ric was not one to boast so the question did not make him feel any less and he did not try to claim importance or fame either."No, I don't own any card from the Milano Gardens," Ric answered rather politely though he was very uninterested in the conversation."You should have told me earlier and I would have made an alternate solution for you to avoid such embarrassment.""This is my first time being here so I did not know the rules." Ric did not want to go into details of telling him that he actually had a VIP pass to use the VIP

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
