2024-04-18 01:11:02Richard Morgan boards a bus to the Star Royal Hotel where he works as a waiter there.
Today was a special day because it was this day two years ago that Jane Andrew agreed to be his girlfriend.After work today he planned on going on a date with her.
Filled with joy all over his face,Richard went into the Star Royal restaurant where he works.
As he put on his black trousers and black shirt, the dress code for his work,he waited to be called upon by the customers in need of his service.
Just then,a young man and a girl walked into the restaurant.The man was wearing a Gucci shirt,a Rolex watch,and a Benz key fold hanging on his waist.The woman was dressed in a short red gown that revealed her curvaceous shape.The two clung to each other and flirted with each other like they were a couple.
“Jane?” Richard could not believe him and he hastily ran to them.
Earlier that day,Jane had told him that she was going to see her aunt who just gave birth but she would return back later in the day.
She was startled,her expression changed.She subconsciously wanted to break free from the youngman when she heard Richard's voice,but the youngman was holding her tightly.
“What are you afraid of? Do you still want to be with that broke guy?”The young man beside her asked sternly.
Jane's eyes flickered for a moment.She was not as panicked as before.But she was filled with rage.
“Well now that you have found out,I guess it's time to let you know,Richard,” said the youngman holding Jane, “Your girlfriend is dating me now”.
He was Richard's classmate,Dominic Prescott. Unlike Richard,he was a rich kid.
Richard staggered back as his face was grave when he heard Dominic's words.Then,ignoring Dominic,he pulled Jane over. “ Come home with me,Jane.I promise to work harder to do anything you want me to do for you.
“Don't touch me!” Jane pushed Richard's hand away. Why should I go with you?Can you afford to buy the phones and handbags that I like? Everytime I ask you to get me a new item you always say I should manage the old ones I have.How long will I keep managing them?”
“Maya,I may be broke now,but I will work harder.” Richard said convincingly.
“Work harder?You are an orphan with no money or background.You can't achieve anything the level of wealth that Dominic has just by being a waiter in this restaurant” Jane sneered.
‘Wake up,Richard.Jane won't go with you.Do you want her to become a waiter with you?Dominic taunted him.
“I have long wanted to tell you that you don't deserve me because you can't afford to take care of my needs.We are done,Richard.” Jane said in an icy voice.Then she turned to look at Dominic with a fond smile and hold him by his hands.
“A broke guy like you doesn't deserve love you know? Dominic shot a disdainful look at Richard as he walked Jane to the reserved table he had made for them.
Richard looked at both of them while his heart was aching as Jane left.
He immediately noticed as all eyes around stared at him.Those around had been watching the scene as it unfolds and was wondering why a waiter like him would be interested in such a beautiful lady.
Richard felt angry,painful,indignant yet helpless.He was humiliated in front of the people there at the restaurant.
Richard lowered his head in shame because he had been publicly humiliated.
Richard and Jane met in college.They had been together since 100 level of resumption.She was innocent back then,but now,she had betrayed him and chose Dominic.
Richard did not beg or persuade Jane to stay because he was broke,Jane had repeatedly insulted him for the past two years.Nevertheless,Richard had never said a thing.All he could do was work harder and make more money to support her.However,she cheated on him by hooking up with the rich kid.
“You have humiliated me today.One day,I will make you realize that it is you who don't deserve me,” Richard said to himself with a gleam in his eyes.
Richard angrily left the restaurant,his Charles who was also working with him as a waiter chased after him to ensure he was safe.
Charles quickly catches up with him.Charles who was not just his friend but also his room mate said “You have to pull yourself together and move on.I told you a long term ago that Jane doesn't belong to our world.She is beautiful,hot and have good shape.I knew at first glance that she wasn't serious with the relationship”
“You have nothing to lose, just get another girl as a replacement for her.They are many girls out there you shouldn't be tied down by one.”
“The thing is I genuinely love her and I'm only interested in her,” Richard said.
“But she has left you for someone else so you should move on and let's go back to work if not you will lose both Jane and your work” Charles replied.
“I will be heading back home,you can return to work as for me I'm done working” Richard stated.
Richard was only doing the part time work so that he could cater for the needs of Jane but since they have broken up there was no need for him working.
Charles returned back to work while Richard headed home.
As he was walking down the road thoughts of the confrontation he had with Jane filled his mind.
“How would she have done this to me after everything I did for her?” he wondered to himself.
Filled with thoughts about his breakup with Jane he didn't notice the black coloured Rolls-Royce coming towards him as he crossed the road and he was knocked down by the car.

The path ahead was risky, but there was no other choice. If he was going to take down Victor Carmichael, he would need to get inside the beast’s den—his company—and slowly, piece by piece, tear it apart.The room around him seemed to hold its breath as Mr. James paced in front of him, the older man clearly troubled by the course Richard had chosen. Every few steps, he would glance at Richard, his face a mix of concern and disbelief.“You can’t be serious,” Mr. James said, stopping to face Richard. His voice was steady, but there was an undercurrent of worry. “This is a dangerous game, Richard. Getting inside Carmichael’s company? That’s not something you walk away from without scars. This man—he’s ruthless. And if he even suspects you’re playing him, he won’t hesitate to make you regret it.”Richard met his gaze with a

As Richard entered, Mr. James straightened, offering a respectful nod.“Richard,” he said, his voice steady, “I’m glad you could make it. We have much to discuss.”Richard didn’t bother with pleasantries. “I’m here. Let’s get to it.”Mr. James nodded, gesturing toward the chair opposite his desk. “Please, sit down. This will take some time.”Richard took a seat, his gaze focused on Mr. James. The urgency in the older man’s tone only increased his already heightened sense of anticipation.

“I didn’t change overnight. But I’m done letting people tell me what I can and can’t do.”The bell rang, signaling the start of class, but Richard wasn’t thinking about the lessons or the work ahead. He was thinking about the choice he’d made.He wasn’t a nobody anymore.And from that day forward, everyone in the room would know it.The bell rang, signaling the end of another class, but Richard’s mind was elsewhere. He had just experienced the most public moment of his life—his declaration of independence in front of Eliza’s friends, his unspoken shift from quiet student to someone who could stand his ground—and yet, something was gnawing at him. His interactions with Eliza had changed, his standing among his peers had shifted, but there was still a quiet weight in the back of his mind, a presence he couldn’t escape: the past.As he gathered his things, slipping his laptop into his bag and adjusting his coat, Richard’s phone vibrated on his desk. His fingers hovered over the screen. H
