The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 48
While they were seated round the table about to eat, everyone heard the knock, the three men looked to themselves, they were not expecting anyone but Damon went to answer the door all the same."A parcel for the house owner," a delivery girl dressed neatly in her uniform announced when Damon flung the door open."Did anyone place an order?" Damon yelled to the hearing of Ric and Frank."Not me, I don't live here." Frank said"Check the name on the parcel and stop being dramatic." Ric responded casually too but Frank had a worried look."What if..." Frank said to Ric's hearing and trailed off, Ric became very uncomfortable. What and if were two words which were unlimited when combined, those were words capable of denying a person's existence and Frank as well as Ric understood this.Damon easily signed the parcel and carried the box in since it had his name on it. He dropped it on the table and started unboxing it.When Damon walked into the kitchen, Ric and Frank exchanged looks befor

While Frank worried himself, he thought to just end his life before Ric got back because his life was already going to be over when Ric learned that Damon had gone missing minutes after he gave the assignment to him.Frank took a kitchen knife and held it to his wrist by the sink. He planned to cut himself and let the blood flow neatly without causing a mess.He didn't run away because he knew if the young master found out, he was going to come after him and his entire family.The Maximilanno family were powerful beyond Avrilla city and their tentacles spread wide abroad."You're back early," Damon's voice startled Frank.Frank immediately spun on his heels confused as he was truly standing face to face with Damon, Frank was stunned."Where did you vanish to?" Frank immediately put the knife away on the slab to avoid any suspicious questions from Damon."The light bill has been reading so fast lately so I just took a visit to the ceiling to you know tweak it a bit." Damon wiggled his b

Only Ric knew what had happened so he motioned to leave the broken Mr Garvin to his demise but the over zealous man wouldn't let Ric leave so easily."Where are you going? Didn't you say twenty minutes?" Mr Garvin bragged in his self confidence as he challenged Ric before all the onlookers."I did and it's barely fifteen minutes left already." Ric smiled so coldly it didn't get to his eyes but it creeped the onlookers."Such a creep, he was about to save his face just now and leave with the money.""Honey, we should go this disgusting proud man is making me sick.""Poor and arrogant? What sponsors his pride?"Several people bad mouthed Ric and they blocked his path."You can not threaten someone so openly and just expect to walk away.""Yes! We will beat you to a pulp in fifteen minutes time if nothing happens.""Thirteen you mean," Ric corrected them."He is even still audacious, surely we will beat you up today.""If what you say is true, we will join him to apologize to you.""I wil

In the Steffanina mansion, there was a little bit of an uproar.Garvin had called in to apologize for whatever way he had wronged them and pleaded their forgiveness but they seemed oblivious to whatever he was referring to.Garvin had explained the enter scenario to them and no one had a clue of what he was talking about."Honestly, we do not have such power and authority to terminate your contract deals with others asides us," The master of the Steffanina family tried to reason with Garvin and make him come to terms with the fact that he had no hand in his misfortune.Garvin was so devastated and desperate that he had to immediately sell his fancy phone to pay for a night at a hotel for his pregnant wife and children to lay their heads to rest for the night.It was the worst day of Garvin's existence that day and he cursed himself for ever challenging Ric to such feat.The truth was that it was possible that Ric had no hand in it and like the Steffanina master had said, only someone v

Ric had successfully left the scene and navigated his way to the salon section in the mall."Excuse me Sir, do you require our services?" The very polite beautiful lady asked Ric very cautiously."Yes," Ric replied coldly wondering why she asked him the obvious."This way please," Shirley as her name tag stated, led Ric to the waiting area for his turn but she was stopped soon by a neatly dressed young man.Jeremy"What are you doing?" Jeremy scolded the lady.She jumped a bit in fear because she had so much respect for Jeremy as their top tier customer."I was just leading the gentleman to a seat to wait out his turn." Shirley explained to Jeremy but Ric stood still with a grim expression. Ric knew what Jeremy was up to and he was ready to teach him a proper lesson if he tried to act in an unruly manner which was quite inevitable considering the character of Jeremy."What do you want this time Jeremy?" Ric asked rescuing the innocent lady from the awkward situation."You don't qualify

Jeremy checked the caller ID and smiled when he saw it was his father that was calling him.Ric and the manager stood to wait for the outcome of the call."You are going to regret everything you ever said. My father is calling and I'll be sure to make sure he puts in word to have this salon closed as well since you all despised my words and doubted my claim." Jeremy boasted and the manager immediately got scared."You fool! Who did you offend? What have you done?" Jeremy's father scolded him the minute he picked up the call."Father?!" Jeremy was shocked at the response he got."We have lost everything, we are now poor and wretched. Who did you offend to make the banks liquidate our loans and investors withdraw their investments and sell off their shares?" Jeremy was stunned, he paled in the instance when he heard the news.Jeremy slowly lifted his head to Ric who had a small smile on his face."Father I don't understand what you are saying," Jeremy tried to make out other meanings fro

Ric had told his friends that he had a lot of errands to run so he was going to be a bit late for the launch.However Ric had several meetings to attend and different regulatory boards sort him because of his new project.News had spread in days about the new project of a smart estate being proposed by the new president of the Milano group of companies.Several people suspected that he was the same that had just been elected as chairman of the Hemsworth board but that information was reserved for only the top one percent of the Elites in the city."Good afternoon Mr. Maximillano," Ric's secretary and the vice president greeted him cautiously.She knew Ric because he always accessed the building through a particular entrance and accessed his office through a separate elevator but she had never seen his face before as he always hid it underneath shades.Ric was not exactly trying to hide his identity from her since she was quite prominent and has no idea about his dual personality but he

Melissa had been married to Ric for over a year and in that time, she lived with him and saw him everyday so the glasses were not enough mask. She immediately recognized him. "I'm sorry Ma'am but please the both of you have to leave immediately." Rachel insisted more this time for fear of losing her position or even her job because of the stubbornness of the couple. Ric did not enter back into his office when he saw them, rather he walked right to them and spoke very few words. "It's fine if they won't leave, severe all ties with them at once." He spoke with that very thick Mexican accent that Melissa doubted it was Ric behind the glasses even if the man had similar features and physique as Ric. Just as Alessandro was about to go on his knees to hold onto Ric by his legs and beg, he got a kick from Ric and security immediately picked him and Melissa away. It was very embarrassing the way the security had dragged Melissa and Alessandro out of the building entirely and it was even

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 knowledg

"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 yo

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 unwil

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 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 his sentence halfway.Melissa had a slight frown on her face.How could Ric talk to the man that made her tremble to her bones so casually? 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 frightened

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 rendering

If Ric wanted to punish Melissa by sending her off without purchasing anything then he would have done so but when he saw that what she came to purchase was beneficial to him, he let it slide and awaited a more amicable way to settle the drama."I am sorry Ma'am," the Manager of the store ran behind Melissa and pleased after she threatened to shut down the store with her father's influence.Melissa often used her father's status as soon to be Mayor to intimidate people in the city and get her bindings done."Don't even try to beg Me, that is the staff of yours that has insulted me and most of all because I was trying to warn you against wasting your time with this man." Melissa was raising her voice and shouting that she successfully got the attention of most if not all the people that came to shop that day at the store."What is happening here? Why is everyone shouting so much?""I hear that the staff here are insolent and even give preference to just anyone that steps foot into here.

Melissa had mixed feelings about running into Ric after he had hung up on her, she wanted to lash out at him for his misconduct yet she still wanted him on her side if she was going to complete her assignment but Melissa being Melissa, she let her emotions cloud her decisions and she decided to taunt Ric instead."Tell me what a man like you is doing here. Can you afford anything here?" Melissa said to Ric who was standing side by side with Frank."What do you want Melissa?" Ric asked when she would not get out of his way."Hmmm, a very tricky question you asked but the actual person who should be answering that is you. What so you want in a store like this?" Melissa said with a coy smile on her lips.Ric was very composed in as much as he detested Melissa for all she did to him in the past, he still gave her some respect as his ex wife and stood to give her audience."What I do with my life is none of your business Melissa," Ric replied with a blank expression.Melissa took her time t

Melissa was shocked at his audacity, she screamed in frustration. She needed his help navigating her way in order to get to Italy but Ric was not cooperating.Ric dropped the call and massaged his temple, Frank's idea of using Melissa and her father's influence to find the assassin was a good idea but it was going to involve Ric constantly communicating with Melissa and possibly following her to Italy as her husband to reduce any suspicions.Melissa worked with the immigration so granting access and falsely approving fake identities was going to be a walk over with Melissa on their team yet no scam will be traced to the Milano Group president at all if the foreign authorities found out.Ric picked up his phone and answered the incoming call."Ric, you have to come home early today. Where are you?" Damon questioned him immediately the call connected"Why so?" Ric was a bit lost in the sudden demand from his brother and friend."It's Gordon's birthday anniversary tomorrow and we have to
