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 dipped a hand in his hair, ruffling it while the police officers checked the car over with their notepad in their hands while talking in hushed tones. He cursed silently and he crossed his arms impatiently while staring at the officer next to him who was sending him glares. “Sir, if I may…” Ric said in an attempt to defend himself again when the officer raised a hand to indicate him to stop. “No, no you may not” The officer cut him off gruffly while the other person tried to listen to Aliyah's father who was yelling something on the phone. Ric sighed and looked on, trying to know what would come out of what was happening. The officer who had the phone to his ear flinched slightly as something was barked in his ear and Ric watched the officer's face pale. “What is he saying? Give me my phone” Ric said annoyed as he stretched a hand out to recieve his phone while the officer handed it over with trembling hands. Ric cautiously put the phone to his ear while watching the faces o
The air crackled with tension as Captain Helmer, his face regaining a sliver of authority despite the fact that he had been stripped of his position, held up a hand silencing the sputtering neighbor. "Sir," he addressed Ric, "would you be willing to open the car so we can access the security footage?" He asked, his arms crossed. He knew that he had been sacked but he still felt it his job to get to the bottom of this matter. Ric's lips curved into a satisfied smirk. "Of course, Captain. Transparency is key in situations like this, wouldn't you agree?" He said with a smile. With a dramatic flourish, Ric unlocked the car, pressing a button on the key fob. As the sleek black doors hissed open, the crowd leaned in, a collective gasp escaping their lips. The neighbor, however, shrunk back, his face drained of color. Ric shot a look at the man who looked like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him. He looked really suspicious. Captain Helmer, along with his remaining officers,
It was the evening at the birthday dinner celebration of Ric's father - in - law to be, the venue was filled with sparkling chandeliers casting a warm glow over the elegant tables set with fine china and crystal glassware. The air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of gourmet dishes being prepared by top chefs in an open kitchen. Guests were dressed in their finest attire, mingling and savoring exquisite appetizers and signature cocktails. As the evening unfolds, a live band starts playing soft melodies, adding to the magical ambiance of the celebration. A black Benz stopped at the entrance of the venue. A gorgeous woman dressed in a black evening gown got down from the car. She had flawless skin and legs that went on for miles. Her intricate features complemented her graceful motions. "What a beautiful woman! Is she a famous actress?" "Her face and figure are out of this world!" "Isn't she the incoming mayor's daughter?" "I've heard about her but I didn't know that her
Melissa barely went in the hall when a familiar voice addressed Ric and Aaliyah. "Look who we have here" Alison, Aaliyah's cousin approached the duo. "It seems like you all can't wait to be legal yet before using the family's name and influence." She added with a hateful look. "And I see you're here." Aaliyah greeted reluctantly "Do you want me not to be?" Alison asked curtly "Look, I didn't say that and I do not know what you say about using the family's name and influence." Aaliyah countered, her gaze stern "Don't play dumb with me, I heard everything you said to Melissa about having class and money and willing to give it to this good - for - nothing fool beside you." Alison took in a deep breath as she tried to calm her agitation. "I always knew that your union was not genuine." She said flicking her index finger whilst shaking her head as if she confirmed something. Ric drew in a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he tried to keep his cool. He wasn't up for dramas
A house big like a palace beautiful like a penthouse. Words of beauty are below to describe the glamour of the house. A low noisy racket going on below the surface of two wicked ladies. Sitting inside the room each with a glass of their favorite juice. Each of the ladies is as beautiful as a princess one has curly hair while the second one has long blonde hair that cascades to her waist. It was evident they were so lost in the pool of their gossip and laughter that filled the whole white room. Roxanne Aliya’s cousin was the one with curly long hair while her friend was the one with blonde hair, Kiera. They were both wearing bum shorts and a white top that revealed their navel. “Did you think he cast a charm on grandfather?” Roxanne asked his gaze pears on Kiera's body. “I was thinking the same cause I don't know why he would choose an ex-convict to be his son - in-law...… like? What the heck is that” Kiera sipped from the juice in her hand her interest in someone’s else l
Ric held her hands and brought them to his lips giving them a gentle peck. “Thank You” he emitted with a husky voice and Aliyah's cheeks turned Rossy. “We should finish up and join the rest soon” she blushed. A sound knocked on the door and they both kept quiet. “Grandpa is now in the dining room” the maid stood on the door and announced. “Okay, we are coming” Ric voice replied. He stood up and walked to the closet bringing out ointment from it. He walked back to Aliyah and raised her legs to her Lap applying the ointment. Even though it was painful but staring at Ric erased all the pains. When Ric was done he raised his gaze and it met with Aliyah’s own. “Promise me,” Aliyah said raising er finger in pinky promise. “Promise you what?” he asked not sure where Aliyah was heading. “Promise me everything they say inside the sitting room tonight won’t get to your heart” she uttered. Eric stared at her for a moment before nodding and abiding the pinky finger. “I prom
