2024-04-18 01:13:22As Richard walked aimlessly on the street of Vatican town,he couldn't help but keep thinking about what Jane said that he can't take care of her.
He couldn't believe that someone he loved and out of his whole heart could betray him like this.He loved Maya with his whole heart and he thought she loved him as well.He had never hated being so poor his entire life.
He looked around his surroundings and saw that he was now at an open field.The moon shone brightly on the field,creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.He sat down on the bench and closed his eyes.
The day's events started running through his mind and a myriad of emotions ran through his heart.He regretted being poor today.How good would it have been if he had an abundance of wealth?If it was so no one would look down on him.He wouldn't lose Jane to someone like Dominic.Afterall women love money and he wouldn't have been disturbed about any of them since he will have a good number of them fighting over him.
He sighed.It was only wishful thinking.He doesn't have an abundance of wealth and there was no hope he will get one anytime soon.He was just Richard Morgan,a poor university student.
Richard sat there in silence,staring at the moon and numerous stars scattered across the sky.
He was still gazing at the stars when he saw a black and white car coming towards his direction.At first he wasn't bothered but he discovered the cars kept coming close to him.
“Is it time for me to take my leave? What if they are kidnappers?” Richard thought to himself.
Richard suddenly laughed at himself.Kidnapper? As if.He was a poor as a church rat.Kidnapprs usually did their research.They would never waste their time on someone as poor and miserable as him.
The two cars came to a stop a few feet away from where Richard sat on the bench.Although Richard was poor, it didn't mean he could not tell an expensive car from a glance.After all,he attended Willowbrook University,a top university that had a lot of rich kids attending it.
The door of the car opened and a man stepped out. He was wearing a black suit.The man looked to be in his late 40s.His black three piece suit looked very expensive and the man smelled of luxury.His hair was neat styled and his beards properly shaved.
Richard looked at the man in confusion.He wondered what a big man like him was doing here.As the man walked toward him,Richard was in awe and he found himself sweating profusely.
As the man walked closer to him he couldn't help but was terrified.
“Young Master Richard,we have finally found you” The man said with a smile on his face.
Richard looked at the man in shock.
“Young master Richard?”
The man nodded,and Richard stood still in shock.
“That's right.I have finally found you,young master Richard.
“Are you sure you don't have the wrong person?” Richard asked in a skeptical tone he was completely confused as to why a wealthy person would act so respectful and call him “Young master Richard”.
“Of course not,Young master Richard”.The man answered with a tone of conviction.He had searched for a long time and finally found the young master here.There was no way he could mistake him for another person.
Richard looked at the man again.At first he had thought it was all a dream but had to face the truth that there was actually a young man who was calling him young master Richard.
“Please come with me,young master Richard.My master has been waiting to meet you for a long time now”.
Richard looked at the middle aged man again.Everything was happening so fast to him.It hadn't been an hour since he broke up with Jane and now someone he had never seen was here claiming that an unknown master wanted to see him.
Richard sighed before nodding his head.He knew that he had nothing to lose.He was just a poor student trying to survive and If this unknown wealthy man wanted him to come along with him,he was willing to go.
“Alright,take me to see this master of yours.” Richard said.
“Ofcourse young master Richard!”The man said,bowing deeply to Richard.Richard paid the man no heed.He was curious to know who the master was and why he had sent someone to meet him.
The man led Richard to the expensive looking car.He assisted Richard with the door.
Richard could see the symbol of the car that it was a Rolls-Royce car.He knew that Rolls-Royce cars of this model were very expensive.He wondered what the Identity of the master was.Afterall, anyone who could afford such a car was definitely rich.
The duo entered the car,and the driver drove the car and they zoomed off.
The ride was silent as neither of them spoke to each other.The middle aged man identified himself as James tried to start a conversation with Richard but he was too tense to answer any of the questions when James noticed it he decided to keep quiet and quit bothering Richard with any more questions.
After driving for two hours,the.var finally came to stop in front of a gigantic gate.Richard found himself marveled at the design of the gate.He had never seen something as majestic and luxurious as this.The gigantic gate seemed to be made of gold as it radiates a brilliant gold appearance.
Richard was wowed by the luxurious design of the gate.He wondered that if the gate was as luxurious as this then what was inside would be so grand to see.
After the security guards at the gate have thoroughly checked them,the car made it way past the gates.At the sight of the entrance,Richard found himself dumbfounded.He was unable to utter a single word and was completely thrilled.
What was beyond the majestic gate was an immense mansion that its design looked unreal.The whole mansion speaks luxury and majesty.The building was surrounded with beautiful flowers.
There was a beautiful fountain in the middle of the mansion and a beautiful carving was on top of the fountain.Richard was marveled at the sight of the water sprouting from the fountain and sparkling under the moonlight.
The car slowed down for Richard to get a clear view of everything he wanted to see.
Finally,the car came to a stop at the entrance of the mansion.The driver quickly came down to open the door for the duo,before getting back into the car and driving off.Richard stared at the Roll-Royce longingly.James noticed this and he tapped on Richard to male it clear to him that the cars were not up to his standard.
Richard noded and kept mute but grumbled in his heart.Is this how the rich think and behave.
“Not up to my standards? It's a great honor to be here,it still feels like a dream that I'm actually at a place as luxurious as this!”
James didn't see anything wrong with Richard's response and smiled.He bowed his head before gesturing his hand.
“This way,young master Richard”
Richard nodded and started walking past the hallway of the luxurious house.He was amazed at the beautiful paintings on the wall and the creative designs.
They walked for a few more minutes,passing several paintings and luxury items before coming to a stop in front of a door.
James stepped forward and knocked twice on the door.There was a voice from inside which sounded tired and weak permitted them to come in.
James stepped backward to lead Richard to the room.
“After you,young master Richard”
Richard paid little attention to James' behaviour.His heart was beating very rapidly as he stood there.He was sure that the person behind the door was the master James was talking about,the master who instructed James to find him and bring him all the way here.
Richard took a deep breath and took up courage as he approached the door.He opened the door and stepped inside the room.It was time to meet the master

Richard stepped inside the room and entered what seemed like a study.There was a huge and neat desk with glass top and a mahogany stand in the room and behind the desk sat an old man.There were some documents littered on the table and it seemed that the old man was going through them before James walked into the room.Richard had expected the master to be someone who was high and haughty with plenty of women surrounding him ready to obliged to any of his demands.After all,it was a known thread that happen with wealthy men like this.However his imagination was a little too wild and completely different from the actual scene.The master was no high and haughty person,but a simple old man.He was different from the actual person he has thought him to be.As Richard was staring at the master,the master was staring at him in return.He narrowed his eyes and adjusted his glasses to take a closer look at Richard.After a few seconds of studying Richard turned to James who had been staring at hi

The walls were adorned with intricate carvings, and the scent of expensive perfumes mingled with the rich aroma of fine foods. Inside, the atmosphere was one of hushed excitement and quiet tension.Men and women dressed in the finest silks and tailored suits, their expressions guarded, moved through the halls in small groups.

As he squared off with his opponent, he took a deep breath and focused. For the first time, he wasn’t relying solely on his speed or strength. He had learned to read his opponent’s body language, to anticipate movements before they happened. He wasn’t fighting against the assistant—he was fighting with him, learning his rhythm, his strategy.The fight was brutal. Richard’s muscles screamed for rest, his body aching from the endless sparring sessions. But this time, things were different. As Richard ducked beneath a punch and countered with a precise strike to the assistant’s ribs, he felt something shift inside of him. For the first time, he was truly in control of the fight. He wasn’t acting out of anger or frustration—he was calm, focused, and in sync with the flow of the battle.When the assistant finally went down, it was with a surp

The following day, after another grueling set of classes, Richard received a call from Mr. James. The voice on the other end was calm, yet filled with a certain urgency. “Richard, I need you to meet me after school. There’s something important we need to discuss.”Richard, still processing the chaotic events of the past few days, agreed. He didn’t know what to expect, but something told him that whatever Mr. James had planned, it was going to be another step deeper into the world he was trying to navigate—a world that had been anything but ordinary.After school, Richard met Mr. James at the designated spot, a small café tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. Mr. James looked as composed as always, his usual calm demeanor unwavering. After a brief greeting, they walked together, moving through the busy streets until they reached an unassuming house. It didn’t look like much from the outside—an old, two-story house with peeling paint and a small yard. But Richard had learned long a

Margaret had been taken away by the guards, Thomas, too, was nowhere to be found, and it seemed as though the Hamilton Enterprises building was becoming more of a fortress with every passing minute. Desperation settled in Richard's chest. He had to do something—he couldn’t just stand by and watch them take everyone he cared about. The guards were getting more aggressive, and the protestors outside were beginning to panic, unsure of what was going on inside the building.Richard’s mind raced. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that the time for patience was over. There were people inside—his friends, the ones who had been wronged—and he couldn’t let them suffer anymore. The building that once felt like a symbol of the Hamiltons’ strength now felt like a cage, and Richard had no choice but to act.Richard moved toward the entrance, his eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for any sign of weaknes

Lucas approached the gates with purpose, his eyes locking with the security guards. He spoke with them for a few moments, his voice smooth and firm. Richard couldn’t hear the exact words, but it was clear that the guards were now taking him seriously. One of them stepped back, presumably to relay the message inside, and a few moments later, the gates creaked open slightly.“Follow me,” one of the guards instructed, gesturing for Lucas to come inside.Margaret, filled with a mix of hope and caution, nodded and moved forward. “This is it,” she said to Richard, turning to face him with a weary smile. “I believe it will be resolved now.”Richard, however, had an uneasy feeling deep in his gut. Something wasn’t right. He could feel it in the air, the tension that was almost palpable. He wanted to trust Lucas, but he couldn’t shake the nagging doubt. This was the Hamiltons’ world, and people like Margaret and the protestors were just pawns.Minutes passed, then an unsettling sound cut throu
Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Three
The air was thick with tension as Richard stood among the gathered protestors, his mind racing through the events that had led up to this moment. The group of disgruntled investors, led by Margaret, was growing increasingly frustrated with each passing minute, their voices rising in anger as they faced the iron gates of Hamilton Enterprises. Richard had stepped in to help, offering his expertise and resources, but even he knew that this was not a fight that could be easily won. Hamilton Enterprises was a powerhouse, and the Hamilton family, with all their wealth and connections, were not used to being challenged.Margaret, however, was undeterred. Her passion and sense of injustice were palpable. She had been duped into believing in a future she could trust, only to be burned by the very people she had put her faith in. Now, she wanted nothing more than to get the money back that she had invested, and she was determined to make sure everyone knew the truth.Despite Richard’s support,

Richard was tired. It had been a long day filled with both class and work, but as he walked home from the university, something unusual caught his eye. He noticed a group of people gathered near a building, their voices rising in frustration and anger. At first, Richard thought it was just another protest, maybe something political, but then something made him stop. The figure standing at the forefront of the crowd immediately drew his attention.It was Amelia’s mother, her face twisted with emotion as she stood at the front of the group, demanding something. Richard’s heart skipped a beat. He knew of her, of course—she was a woman of stature, well respected in the business world, and married into the Hamilton family, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the region. But what was she doing here, in front of a building that looked like it belonged to another powerful figure? It was rare for people of her caliber to be caught in such public displays of protest.He had alway
