The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 88
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

Ric reiterated because the woman that spoke was not company he was willing to accommodate at the time, he could deal with her in the presence of her family members but she was a pain to him in person.The person that spoke was Roxanne, Aaliyah's cousin and the man that accompanied her was her husband.In all his supremacy, Ric was lacking in a lot of areas, his family and friends were unable to benefit from his influence.

Roxanne was being adamant to Ric's response. For a moment, the staff contemplated what to do ; Roxanne and her husband had been long time customers of the restaurant as they often patronized the former and already had Value cards."Sir, are you with Miss Roxanne?" The disturbed waitress asked Damon who had initially placed the other for the table, completely ignoring Ric.Damon heaved a sigh and looked at Ric for a response. Damon had no intention in coming between Ric and his new family to be by law so he was at a crossroad on the side to take."The table of five is fine." Roxanne said overriding the veto power the waitress had given to Damon to decide the tune of the music. "I bet he is concerned that the table for five will be too expensive for him to handle so you can just put it on our tab. Right honey?" Roxanne spoke in a coquettish manner as she clung to the arm of her husband and displayed their influence and wealth."Nothing like that Roxanne. Ric, Frank and I just wanted t

"I'll take number twenty seven," Ric placed another order after scanning through the menu in his hand."Two places," Damon added."Four actually," Frank included two portions for himself as well.Ric smiled, he liked the fact that the two men that had accompanied him were in support of the game he played.When Roxanne looked at her menu card, she realized that the meal Ric had ordered was 'Tequila-Lime Shrimp Ceviche, Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup with Queso Fresco, Avocado, Mango, and Jicama Salad with Citrus Dressing, Filet Mignon with Chipotle Adobo Sauce, Mexican Chocolate Mousse.'That was a very expensive dish, Roxanne had intentionally picked up the menu card immediately they arrived at the table so she could solely place the meal order for everyone.When she saw the price tag on the order, she immediately picked her device and multiplied the figure by four.Seventy thousand dollars!Roxanne physically paled and her throat instantly became dry, she looked to her husband Reynold wh

Lisa asked because she noticed only Ric and his friends had serving plates before them, the food was much and enough to go round for everyone yet Roxanne and her husband did not join in the feast."Oh, Reynold and I decided to sponsor a meal for Ric and his friends." Roxanne replied in a very coquettish manner.Ruc paused the spoon in his mouth and pressed his lips in a thin line."Is that so? Then we should have been better informed. I thought the bill was to be split with Ric here," Frank intentionally asked this to set the facts right and clearly state who was footing the entire bills.Camille and Lisa suddenly looked at Roxanne, if they were splitting the bill then why then did Roxanne have to sound so arrogant while she and her husband were not so high and mighty afterall."Actually, ---" Reynold started but was interrupted by his wife Roxanne before he wouldgive in to the pressure he was already feeling."I thought you are a smart man, can you not read a joke when you hear one?

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
