The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 55
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

The Launch started and a variety of food was displayed on several tables with the most exclusive and expensive ones being displayed on tables with the Elites seated round them. The table Camille sat in coincidentally had Aaliyah and Lisa seated there along with several of the young men and women Ric had met at the Artificial Intelligence launch. "Oh Brother you came!" Gregory Martinez said when he saw Ric. Gregory was also a second generation rich man whose family was into interior decoration, he was also familiar with Ric from that day so most on the table easily accepted Ric since they were quite acquainted with him already. The Launch went smoothly and everyone had a bite of variety appetizers, main dishes and desserts. Ric had barely picked his plate most times and same with Aaliyah, the duo often glanced at each other during the event. Meanwhile Lisa tried her best to keep her mouth shut in order not to ruin Aaliyah's mood, Lisa had noticed that Aaliyah often got upset w

Lisa was the first to jump on the statement but one look at her friend Aaliyah and she immediately kept calm."Yes he is," Lisa had already said what she said before she realized that Aaliyah had cautioned her to be discreet about Ric's past."What?" Camille was shocked at the revelation but he asked to be double sure."What right do you have to slander someone like that?" Gregory was so angry that he didn't care if what Leonard said was true or false.Ric sighed, he knew that sooner or later the information about his past was going to come out, he was already used to this kind of slander so it barely made him feel uncomfortable even as a lot of people were present."Actually what he said was --""You don't have to justify or defend anything he said, what gives him the right to talk about people's private lives in public?" At this time, Gregory was already raising his voice and people began to pay attention to the scene being created."I was just giving the Gullathova mistress a warnin

At the front, Leonard pleaded for Greg and Camille to remain till the end of the launch, he knew that the restaurant was just a privilege and the last thing he wanted was to offend both men.“What he said was true,” Ric confessed shocking everyone across including Camellia and GregThey had all thought Leonard was the one forming the story against him just to pull him down, they didn’t expect to hear Ric admitting to his words.Ric never expected Leonard to spill that out in public out of jealousy, but seeing how things were going he had no choice but to clear the room.“What do you mean? You went to jail for killing someone?” Grey eyes widened out of shock.However, Ric shook his head negatively a littleRic turned to the crowd, and a soft smile escaped from his lips.“I would like to clear the rumors about me right here.” He said grabbing the attention of everyone even more.The whole room fell into total silence anticipating his next words.Lisa glanced at Aaliyah’s face trying to s

Leonard's eyes widened in shock. Ric left his side, he walked over to Aaliyah's sideAaliyah was in her seat paying full attention to what was going on in the room. Seeing Ric walking close to them, Lisa who had a little smile on her face scampered away from her friend Aaliyah giving her some privacy with Ric“Do you want me to drop you home now?” Ric gently asked her again, sitting on the empty seat right beside her.“Are you finally taking your chances?” Camila teased Ric interrupting the scene. “Woah, I can’t believe someone is making his moves behind us.” Greg’s voice also came in.They had ignored Leonard leaving him to deal with his shit by himself. After all, they weren’t there when he caused it and he had completely denied that his family was keeping the secret too not until there was sudden news about it.“You should give them some privacy at least.” Lisa was so fast to pull both Camila and Greg away, leaving the two on the seat.Aaliyah had a little smile tugged at the cor

Seeing his face it was obvious he held a lot of grudges towards him.Leonard had always hated him at first, but he hated him even more at the thought of him being behind his sudden misfortune.His family reputation which he was trying to build and improve suddenly crumbled completely to the groundAt this rate, no one will want anything to do with them. Even his fixed appointments with the men of the higher class are automatically canceled. Leonard's anger increased even more at the thought of it. Ric massaged his face that hurt and watched Leonard who had a smirk across his face towards himLeonard walked close to Ric and suddenly grabbed him by his collar again. “What on earth did you do?” He yelled at his face out of anger.Ric only chuckled. “I did nothing, After all, I wasn’t worthy to be here just a few minutes ago, I was nothing but a killer.” He shrugged innocently at his face annoying Leonard completely.He wanted to punch Ric again out of anger but he was stopped by Grey

“Ok, fine, I will beg,” Leonard said, falling to his knees, he couldn't bear to look at their faces for a couple of seconds, because he needed no one else to tell him that he had fucked up. Deep down he was feeling shitty, seeing the expression on their face will only make the way he is feeling worsen. “I am sorry. I am on my knees, begging from the depth of my heart, whoever it is that did this, should please forgive me,” he pleaded, his voice filled with conviction. He raised his head to stare at Ric, “Please,” It was him, it had to be him, ‘cause no one else left the room, he was the only one that excused himself and in a couple of seconds, his life was already in ruins. “Wait, you guys want me to place my head on the floor and beg, huh?” he asked with a desperate tone, still keeping his eyes glued on Ric, “sure, I will” he added and placed his forehead on the floor. “Please, forgive me,” he cried out. “Well, I am not the one that did it and even if I am the one, I am not sur

"Your smile is beautiful," Ric left a comment for Aaliyah and her cheeks heat up several degrees."Thank you," Aaliyah turned her face and stared outside the window avoiding Ric's eyes.The ride was quiet with each of them stealing glances at the other at different intervals. Ric always caught Aaliyah staring at him and she often averted her eyes when caught."I suppose it's a bit too early for you to go home, do you want to see something fascinating?" Ric asked wanting to spend a little more time with Aaliyah. "That would be great," Aaliyah avoided his eyes as she responded. She also wanted to get to know him a little before getting married to him.Their engagement had been fixed and her grandfather was on top of all the preparations, the date was going to be announced soon but Aaliyah barely knew who Ric was."Where is this?" Aaliyah asked when Ric pulled up the car in front of a building. She had expected he would take her to a small Cafe to have a drink or grab a bite but what wa

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
