Alex walked out of the exclusive shop angry and embarrassed. How could this happen? Why was Ric given a preferential treatment over him? For all he knows, Ric was nothing but a poor church rat, where did he get the money to be able to afford the clothes sold at the store? His entire face was red with fury and his fists were clenched as he blew off steams from his ears. "Until you pay the outstanding balance you owe, you're not going to be allowed into the building, Mr. Alex." The words of the new manager who had walked in that moment rang continuously in his head. "What the heck was going on?" He asked confused and walked over to his car parked outside the building. He pulled the door open and slid into the driver's seat. Alex wanted to shout, he had just gotten a premium firsthand embarrassment but he could do nothing. He had to keep his cool and just leave the place. He threw an angry gaze toward the building he'd just vacated and cursed under his breath. He should be
The Serene Resorts integrated entertainment, dining and accommodation all in one building. Ric admired the different structures as he made his way to the reception area."Sir, excuse me Sir!" Ric was stopped by a few beautiful ladies when he entered the reception area."Do you have a reservation here Sir?" One of the ladies asked immediately as she took in Ric's appearance. These ladies were responsible for handling the reception duty and they were used to receiving a lot of Elites.Even though these beautiful ladies had contempt in their look, they were still polite in their speech towards Ric.However, Ric wore very cheap and worn out clothes unlike the Rich and influential people who regularly visited."I didn't reserve a place here myself but a friend of mine did." Ric answered as he smiled.At this time he observed the beautiful ladies and observed the high standards of the Serene Resorts. He finally understood why this hotel was one of the biggest luxuries in Avrilla city.The
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, wS 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 unw
Melissa's father paced the floor anxious, he had heard the recount Alessandro gave about Ric and it only made him more worried. He thought of different ways to make things better and secure right standing with Ric but his mind remained blank."Father, I doubt it is such a big deal," Melissa protested seeing how worried her father was."What do you know?" He snapped as his beloved daughter which further enrages her."The Gullathova family is a big deal Melissa! They are a big deal." Melissa's father found it hard to contain the information that Ric, the poor and lowly son in law that he had often maltreated, was now going to be in charge of the Gullathova property."Father, I think there's a mix up somewhere. Maybe Alessandro had not heard well." Melissa could also not come to terms with the fact that her Ex husband was about to have access to wealth and authority."Father there must be something that can be---"" The Hemsworth board." He interrupted her answering her questions before
The day of the wedding was fast approaching and everyone was nervous. Everyone was on edge because Ric had proved them wrong and secured the same venue he had a bet with Roxanne's husband with.Roxanne and her husband were quite on edge as the constant thought of losing to Ric and Aaliyah plagued them with sleepless nights.Melissa and Alessandro had also heard the news and the tension in their marriage grew thick while their intimate communication grew thin."The wedding arrangement are all set. It's going to put your face on the news for a while. Are you sure you really want to do this?" Johnson asked Ric concerned as they drove back from a board meeting.Ric sighed undecided. He has not envisaged so much drama accompanying his new identity and it looked like every passing day it only became more difficult to keep his identity hidden."How much longer?" Ric asked completely exasperated."What do you mean?" Johnson asked.Ric was struggling within himself and no matter how much he ju
Johnson already prepared the write ups and gave instructions to the tech people to go ahead with the publications. Ric sat still in the vehicle deep in thought, he was about to make a grave decision and at what cost?Did he really care as much about Aaliyah or was his deal with the Gullathova family that solid to cover him if he brought himself to the public?Ric was contemplating deeply, he had to make a quick decision. He received a notification on his phone and when he checked it, it was a publication on the engagement status of the Milano group President.The Internet was in chaos at the time, comments and reactions were already flying about and everyone wanted to know who the lucky lady was.Just then Ric's phone buzzed again and this time, it was a message from Lord Gullathova.'The risk you are about to embark on is one that comes with dangerous consequences. The Gullathova family will keep their part of the bargain regardless but you must protect Aaliyah at all costs.' This
It was a close call and miss but what bothered Ric was how Lord Gullathova was just in time to save him.He had a lot of unanswered questions and his wedding to Aaliyah was just a few days away.It didn't take long for the Internet to be flooded with pictures of Ric's Mercedes that was in flames with the body of the body guard and the driver in ashes. News media houses were already giving their opinions and thoughts some said the Milano president was completely burnt in the incident while others said he had escaped.Uncertainty filled the atmosphere and for a beat in time outside his heart's rhythm, Ric saw reasons to remain anonymous a while longer."Have you seen this?" Lord Gullathova shoved the phone in his hand to Ric."Are you being intentionally stupid and reckless to see how far I can keep my words or what is your aim?" Lord Gullathova snapped at Ric angrily and Johnson remained silent.Lord Gullathova was far older and more experienced than Johnson and Ric and even if Ric had
In all his supremacy, Ric was lacking in a lot of areas, his family and friends were unable to benefit from his influence. Ric made a personal decision to change it. "What else Sir?" the vice president asked the very distracted Ric as he sat behind his large desk lost in thought. "Mr Maximillano!" She called again jolting Ric to consciousness. "Say," Ric was stunned but he maintained his composure and responded very calmly. "I was asking if there is anything else you would have me do." She asked again. "No," Ric's response was short and abrupt and the vice president knew that she was no longer welcome in his office so she excused herself and left him to himself. The day dragged and Ric returned home exhausted. "Are you going to just lie lazy? Tell me how today was." Damon took it upon himself to bug Ric as usual. Infact, the reason Damien had gone to the room to trouble Ric was because he was really concerned about Ric and the fact that he still had no job to the best of Damie
