The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 27
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

Ric simply turned around and exited the hall."Sold to the Boss on the phone for three billion Dollars." The applauds erupted everywhere.For Shirley and Dexter, it was much easier for them to believe that Ric was only privileged to attend such a high profile event than for them to believe that Ric had become a rich man.When Ric stepped out, he put a call through to Johnson and gave him instructions on how to credit the amount he just spent.When Ric returned, there was an uproar. The announcer had informed everyone that the project had been bought over by Mr Maximillano.Though a lot of people felt this name sounded familiar, only a few could piece that the same person was the new Chairman of the Hemsworth board.A lot of things in Avrilla city was owned by the Maximillano family but a lot of people were unaware.The Maximillano family was a wealthy and influential Mexican group that most people in most parts of the world feared but the smaller cities like Avrilla city were obliviou

Ric strolled away with Aaliyah in his hand, her heart beat steadily to the rhythm of the risk of recklessness but she cared little. She had always been the obedient and perfect young mistress. While Ric walked, he spotted the young man who had participated in the bid on his behalf. "Take me to Lord Gullathova." He told the young man. There was something about Ric's demeanor that made the young man obey without hesitation or questions. Also, Ric held the Gullathova young mistress in his arms and she looked asleep. "This way please." Ric was led to a private lounge where he sat with Aaliyah across his lap snoring softly. "I see you two are getting along quite well," Lord Gullathova commented when he came out from another door and saw the position Ric and Aaliyah were in. "She's not well, I only brought her to you for her safety." Ric knew that Aaliyah was the target of a lot of people out there as well. "She was fine when we left home this morning." Lord Gullathova examined his

When Ric got home, he was so exhausted he ran a bath and sat at the dinning table to have his dinner while reminiscing on his day and appreciating his progress.Damon was already long asleep before Ric returned home but he had left a note on the refrigerator for Ric to easily find his dinner in the microwave oven.Ric slept content, he was already making progress with his new position and something new was on his mind.Expansion!Ric was always a man with the expansionist mentality. He never believed in managing resources to recycle wealth, he always thought of ways to manage resources to multiply and distribute wealth.The sun peeked through the blinds too early and Ric had barely had enough sleep because of how late he had retired the night before but he got up all the same."Do you get to sleep at all?" Damon complained when Ric returned to the house after his morning run."What has to be done, has to be done, Hi Frank. You're here very early this morning anything new?" Ric replied

When Frank found a place to park the vehicle, Ric got down and journeyed to the gathering on foot instead. Frank followed behind Ric but gave him a comfortable distance so it wasn't very noticable that he followed after him. "Hey look!" "Is that not that poor Mariano kid?" "That is definitely Ric, he still walks like he owns the world," The badmouthing already started before Ric got to the gathering. He had not stayed more than fifteen minutes after Damon left so he was certain Damon was yet to come searching for him so he scanned the area with his eyes in search of him. "Hi Ric," A petite rounded lady approached Ric with a smile that Ric wasn't moved by at all. "Hi Anna," Ric responded with a plastic smile. "I see you cleaned up a bit after jail," she smiled after raising her voice so the others could here what she had said. Ric said nothing. "I mean, I'm sorry for what you had to go through in jail but I really think you look good today," she continued making sure to emph

The food and drinks were served and Leonard didn't stop bragging through the meal. "Candace, I heard you have a big world tour coming up," Leonard acknowledged Candace. "I do, I see you are a big fan of mine already," she teased him. "I am but I'm also concerned about you, you have become a star since you're a front cover model now," Candace furrowed her brow unsure of what he was getting at. "And?" She asked curtly "I was just saying that it is going to be bad on your reputation if you were seen sitting so close to an ex convict, your credibility maybe questioned." Leonard finished. Ric paused the spoon in his mouth, he knew that Leonard didn't like his closeness with Candace but he didn't believe that Leonard would go as far as that. "I guess you will be better off seen sitting beside her won't you?" Ric asked annoyed. "Ric, don't be so rude simply because your friend is paying for an extra table. Leonard here is an established realtor and he also has several estates he mana

Everyone was surprised by the sudden change in decision and behavior of the manager. How did he go from being extremely angry and furious to even compensating them? None of them could solve the puzzle of what had just transpired. "Surely someone higher must have called him to order," "I reckon it may be Jeremy's Dad since he has a lot of influence in the city," "True! Jeremy's Dad has saved us." Several of the classmates exclaimed and Ric was surprised that everyone drew conclusions and praised Jeremy for something he had done. "I think we all made calls, let's all call again and confirm this before concluding so we do not thank the wrong person." Gordon protested. "That's true!" The other classmates agreed and for another twenty minutes, no one could confirm that they were responsible for the change. Jeremy had indeed called his Dad earlier and he called again to confirm but his Dad had told him, he didn't have such influence. When Jeremy saw that no one took responsibili

Everything had happened so fast that Damon and Gordon could barely understand what was going on. Ric had left them when the incident occurred and they thought of a way to sort out the misunderstanding.Anna looked very pale when she saw how much the dress she had ruined cost. The sales representative waited patiently for her next line of action."Damon, please can you borrow me the money? I heard you've become quite rich now and even have a net worth of a million dollars plus." Anna pleaded with Damon.Damon didn't know how to explain to he that the net worth was in terms of assets and in fact, he didn't even have a stable source of income at the moment.The car he won had come with an unlimited free gas coupon that was recognized by all the gas stations and that was how he had been able to move about using the coupon on any of the cars.Damon suddenly thought to offer the coupon as a temporary solution till they figured out what to do."This is all Ric's fault, he knew the dress wasn

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
