The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 40
Candace could not fully comprehend the reason for Aaliyah's attitude but Lisa calmed her down."Don't mind her, she and that Ric guy may have something going on." Lisa explained and Candace was immediately sorry for her actions. Candace had thought Ric was single since he just recently divorced."I should explain to her that we are just old time school classmates and friends." Candace immediately went after Aaliyah to apologize.When Candace weaved through to the back, she saw Damon with Aaliyah at the back."Hi Aaliyah," Candace greeted."Hi, I'm sorry for my reaction just now, Damon already explained everything to me." Aaliyah apologized first."I'm sorry too. I didn't know he had a girlfriend." Candace apologized."He doesn't. I'm not his girlfriend, I don't know why I reacted that way, there's nothing between us." Aaliyah realized there was nothing binding herself to Ric since they had not done as much as an introduction.Ric sat in his seat and didn't bother to rectify any damage

When Aaliyah and Lisa drove back home, they drove in silence. Aaliyah just wanted to get home and query her grandfather for setting her up with an Ex convict."Grandpa you didn't tell me he was married before and is even an Ex convict." Aaliyah scolded her grandfather angrily after being humiliated at the party."Ex convict? Are you sure of this information?" Lord Gullathova asked cautiously knowing the real truth of Ric was.Lord Gullathova had done a background check on Ric Mariano and had found nothing since his documents carried Ricardo Maximillano and all information about Ricardo Maximillano were properly covered and protected from public access so there was no way anyone could get any information about Ric except the basic ones he posted himself on his social media handles."I don't know how concrete your claim is." Lord Gullathova tried to defend his choice for his granddaughter but she was more than certain since Ric had admitted the potency of Jeremy's claim."He admitted i

Lisa didn't give any room at all as she wey on running her mouth embarrassing Ric non stop and that pissed Aaliyah off. Aaliyah had meditated all through the night on everything that had happened and had felt sympathy for Ric getting divorced from his wife after his jail term. She had inquired and found out that he had been sent to jail for a driving accident and not any vice, she also gave excuse for him not being interested in anyone and attributed it to the divorce trauma. All these she did to justify the option her grandfather had chosen for her. "Lisa! Just stop already." Aaliyah yelled much to the surprise of everyone. Aaliyah was always very quiet, calm and lovingly obedient. "Aaliyah! Can you hear the things she is saying, are they truth?" Aaliyah's mother was quite alarmed at her daughter's outburst at Lisa, she thought it was better channeled to Ric since he was the culprit of deceit. "I know of the things she speaks of but it is not her place to reveal such thi

When the table was emptied of all the bodies, Ric sat still hoping to have a word with Aaliyah before leaving. Aaliyah walked Ric to the door and they walked in a very comfortable silence. "I guess this is goodbye till we meet again," Aaliyah said to a mute Ric after they got to the car where his friends awaited him in the car with Frank behind the wheels. Ric had so much to say to Aaliyah but he had walked down the stairs in front of the Gullathova Mansion with her yet he said nothing. "Did you send me any gifts?" Aaliyah asked hoping to satisfy her curiosity. "What gift?" Ric was very good at playing dumb. "Oh, nevermind." Aaliyah dissed the matter, if Ric knew nothing about the gifts then they were obviously not from him. "Say," Ric insisted in a cold voice yet his tone was gentle. He watched the rise and fall of her chest as she struggled to say what was on her mind. "It's really nothing. My grandfather just pulled a little stunt on me and used you as a cover

When Ric got back from the meetings he had, he stopped several meters from the estate with Frank and they both took a ride back home. Ric was shocked to see police vans surrounding their home and Police officers talking to different people in the neighborhood. When Ric got down from the taxi cab, people looked at him strangely and some whispered to themselves. "What is going on?" Ric asked Frank who was equally as confused. "I'll find out just now Boss, I think you should wait in the car a while longer." Frank said before walking into the house to figure out what was happening. Ric sat back in the car because he understood the importance of his safety and security even if he was not known by the public just yet. "Frank! Where's Ric?" Damon jumped from the table where he was explaining to a detective what had happened. "Outside," Frank said eyeing the officers. "What is happening?" Frank inquired. "I got back and didn't find the both of you, I checked with the security

Ric was panting heavily and he was drenched in sweat. "What happened to you?" Damon rushed to Ric's side but he was stopped by Frank. "He's hurt, let's get him to the hospital!" Damon told Frank who restrained him from getting any closer to Ric. "We can't go to any hospital." Frank said and this was true because any hospital Ric went would definitely need his details to open up a file for him and that was the last thing Ric or Frank was going to agree to but none could explain this to Damon. "Get him home safely, I have unfinished business." Ric literally growled. "I'm not going anywhere without you, don't be silly." Damon protested but the look in Ric's eyes were different. They were not just cold, they were unfamiliar and murderous. "You will go with him and you will not open the door for anyone until I return, even if the building is in fire, don't step out until I return." Ric instructed and although Damon wanted to argue further, he found himself doing as he was told

When the sound of the gun went off, Ric had dropped to his knees, his heart rate was faster and his breathing slowed. Ric hung his head low and awaited the approach. Cold hands wrapped around his torso and helped him stand to his feet. "Deadly game you are about to involve yourself in," the man in the car informed Ric as he was supported into the car. "Thank You," Ric said simply when he got into the car. "For what? A deal is a deal." Lord Gullathova replied from beside Ric at the back seat. "That could have been me," Ric stared out the window at the body of a man with a gun shot injury being carried away. Lord Gullathova had people monitoring Ric and his movements. When the trigger has been pulled, the shot was aimed at the man who released the gun safety attempting to shoot Ric. "Do we have evidence to nail him for attempted murder?" Ric asked not willing to let the case slide. "The sniper wasn't shot dead, we'll take his testimony and get all the information we need fr

Damon and Ric barely said a word to each other when the sun gave it's light and illuminated the little house the inhabited. After his morning routine and a cold breakfast at the same table with Damon, Ric sat in his desktop and finalized all the details of the new project he was launching. "It's time for Lunch, I'll be going to the factory a bit late today," Damon informed Ric who had sat in his spot for hours already. "Why?" "The property owner is demanding we pay two years advance to keep using it so we're about selling out." "What do you mean selling out?" Ric asked alarmed, the weary look on Damon's face already communicated his meaning but Ric didn't want to assume anything. "We can't pay such an amount and the factory is already running at a loss with a lot of debts. The bank didn't shut it down because I was able to use this house to service the loan as collateral." Damon explained. Ric gnashed his teeth, he couldn't believe that he had so much money and influenc

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
