The unexpected rise of Ric Maximilanno Chapter 96
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?

The Salvatore family heir can handle this bill, right? Roxanne reflected as she watched Aaliya kiss Ric on his cheek as a greeting and relax with her friends.Aaliyah and Ric had agreed to act like they were in love to avoid unnecessary attention and questions from friends, family and the media. They already had their perfect story of how they met and fell in love.Love had to be the only logical explanation to which the young mistress of the Gullathova family was marrying a young man with an unpopular surname.“You look pale. Are you okay?” Aaliya asked with concern, unaware of the game going on in the background. “Glad of you to join our little charity!” Roxanne exclaimed, spiteful and almost shouting. "I suppose, darling. The heir to the Salvatore's estate wouldn't mind feeding an extra mouth.” Aaliya frowned and raised her brow as she turned to face Lisa. Lisa shrugged, implying that she knew nothing about what was going on. Roxanne's husband, Reynold, gave her a forced smile

Camille was shocked when he heard Ric's order and he did not blame Reynold for declining and walking away. If he was in Reynold's shoes, he would have done exactly the same thing.He would not I dulge in such a petty game of millions of dollars even if he had the money yet Ric played about with several hundreds of millions of dollars like he was ordering drinks in the thousands of dollars.Camille was both stunned and impressed, he wondered who Ric really was.Damon on the other hand swallowed hard mirroring Aaliyah’s concern. Damon had joined in the game earlier but he had not expected Ric to take it this far. Sometimes Damon wondered if he really still knew who Ric was."You did not have to order extra three bottles that a lot of money." Aaliyah complained to Ric but Lisa nad the other ladies beamed with smiles. They liked a man who was willing to spend in the hundreds of millions and never thought how the bill was to be cleared."How much do you have in your account? My Grandfathe

Back at the table, Ric's phone beeped with a notification after the man dropped the call.Ric read through the message in his mail but he didn't take action immediately. He sat in his place and sent a text to Frank.Ric knew that someone was watching him so he rather sat in his place and looked around."Thank you for the treat, I will leave first, I have to drop Lisa off before heading home." Camille said rising to his six feet three length.Lisa and Camille did not live in the same house despite their relationship. Camille did not live in his family's mansion, he had his own rented apartment were he enjoyed his freedom."We should really Thank Reynold and Roxanne for their kind gesture," Ric mocked and everyone laughed and agreed.In the eyes of Aaliyah’s friends Ric had a better reputation already just by the simple action of his friend clearing the bill.It was believed that if you were not rich but had rich people as very loyal close friends, then you were bound to lack nothing

Aaliyah decided to silently trail Ric because she still had her doubts and suspicions about his identity. Often questions that came to her mind were about his identity and where he had emerged from to earn her grandfather's trust so much."Where is he headed this late in the evening and why does he not want to go home with his friends?" Aaliyah sat alone in her car tracking the vehicle on her app and following the route the driver had taken.She was determined to find out who Ric was that evening and what he was up to. Just as she was still following the car, she noticed the ride had ended at a certain superstore.It took Aaliyah a little while to get there but when she did, she didn't find Ric there,"Damn it!" Aaliyah hit the steering wheel upset that she had lost track of him. Upset she pulled her car in reverse and the scream of someone made her step on the break instantly.She had been so dismayed that she had not looked in her rear view mirror to scan the area before attempting

Ric arrived at the location and it was still live. It was a lonely alley and he pulled up the fancy car he rode in several streets away not to draw too much attention while he played the role of knight in shiny amour in the dark night. Aaliyah was there.Ric did not go to her rescue because he felt a connection with her rather he had gone there because he knew the implications if anything happened to her on his account.Afterall she had stayed out late from home on his account and if something was to go wrong he would shoulder the blame because he was very bad at aportioning blame, he was used to taking responsibility for others, that was how he had ended up behind bars for six month."And who do we have here?" A female voice echoed through the empty hall where Aaliyah’s location had stopped.He looked around and saw no sign of anyone not even the speaker. It was normal for Ric to remain calm and composed in the face of daunting challenges.Slam!The sound of the huge doors shutting c

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
