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

He could not stand them anymore.“Hey Oliver,since you are so wealthy why don't you pay for me as well?”Dominic shouted with a poker face after he and heard what Oliver said.Oliver turned to glance at Dominic.

Trevor stumbled back, his expression quickly morphing into one of forced composure. “Richard, I—this isn’t what it looks like. I was just talking to Rose, trying to understand what’s going on with her. I—” “Don’t lie to me,” Richard interrupted, stepping into the room, his tone sharp as a blade. “I’ve seen enough.” Rose sat frozen, too stunned to speak. She had heard Richard’s voice, but in this moment, the room felt suffocating, as if she were trapped between two opposing forces. Richard’s arrival should have been a relief, but now she found herself caught between them—between the man who had once been her ally and the man who had tried to control her every move. Richard’s eyes never left Trevor. “I know exactly what you’ve been doing, Trevor. You’ve been manipulating her. Pressuring her. And if you think for one second that I’ll allow this to continue, you’re gravely mistaken.” Trevor’s jaw clenched, his usual calm demeanor shattered. “You don’t understand,” he spat, taking a st

The next day, Rose returned to the restaurant. It felt surreal, as if she was stepping back into a life she had tried so hard to leave behind. The familiar smells of sautéed onions, sizzling steaks, and freshly baked bread filled her senses, stirring up memories she wasn’t sure she was ready to face. But the moment her foot crossed the threshold, everything changed.Her colleagues greeted her with surprised smiles, open arms, and enthusiastic chatter. The warmth they offered was genuine, even though there was an undertone of curiosity about her sudden return. The news had spread quickly through the kitchen, and they had all wondered how she could come back after the way she had left.The first person to approach her was Maya, her old friend, now looking more confident behind the pass.“Rose! You’re back!” Maya said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “I didn’t think we’d see you again. You really came back.”Rose smiled faintly, a soft, nervous laugh escaping her lips. “I didn’t thin

“There is still hope—but only if we act fast,” Richard said, his voice steady yet urgent. His eyes locked onto Rose’s, a flicker of determination in his gaze. “Get me a quarter pound of caterpillar, a quarter pound of cockroach, and a quarter pound of spider. Fry them, then place them in an airtight container.”Rose stood frozen, her mind reeling. She stared at Richard, her expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion. She had no idea what to make of his words. The thought of such bizarre ingredients was both unsettling and baffling. Was this really the way to save her mother?“Is that all you need?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly. She wanted to believe him—desperately—but everything felt too strange, too foreign.Richard met her gaze without hesitation. “Yes, this is just the first treatment,” he said calmly. “Once you have those, I’ll also need the back of a mango, the seed of a watermelon, cashew nuts, and water from a watermelon. Those will be used to prepare a concocti

“You don’t have to worry about Mary. She’s always like that,” Linda said, her voice light but with a hint of resignation. “Soon, you’ll get used to her way of treating people.”Linda was one of the waitresses at the restaurant, and unlike Mary, who radiated an icy distance, Linda had a warmth to her presence that made her stand out. She always wore a smile, as though she was trying to make up for the coldness that lingered in the air.Richard glanced at her, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “Is she always like that, even with customers?” he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how someone in customer service could be so indifferent.Linda sighed, her gaze briefly flickering toward the door as though she were weighing how much she should reveal. “Yeah, she’s pretty rude to customers too. It’s honestly cost us a few regulars.” She lowered her voice, leaning in slightly. “But don’t tell anyone I said that. It could get me into serious trouble.”Richard frowned, his

Richard had not planned to stay long at the restaurant. He only wanted to check on things before heading back to his dorm, but now he could tell that the restaurant needed him. He was ready to help out.“I think something’s off here, and I need to find out for myself,” Richard stated.“How do you plan on doing that?” Trevor Spanner asked.“Do you have room to hire an additional staff member?” Richard asked.“An extra staff member isn’t what we need right now, especially with the decrease in revenue. But if the staff is resourceful, then I suppose it could be a good idea,” Trevor replied.“Then consider me joining the team,” Richard said.Trevor Spanner was taken aback. He thought Richard was asking for someone else to join, but instead, he was the one offering to work at the restaurant.“Are you sure about this?” Trevor asked.“Yes, just for the time being. I want to find out what’s really going on with the restaurant, whether it’s an external issue or something we can solve internally

Everyone was shocked as Trevor Spanner, known for his elusive presence in the company, hurriedly approached Richard.“Who is Mr. Richard Morgan?” Trevor Spanner asked with curiosity.Richard was slightly taken aback, but he knew exactly who it was. Trevor Spanner was a name known across the industry.“Mr. Richard Morgan, it's truly an honor to meet you,” Trevor Spanner said, bowing slightly in a gesture of respect.The group around them froze in disbelief. The powerful Trevor Spanner, someone who was usually seen at high-profile meetings, was bowing to Richard?“I’m terribly sorry for the delay,” Trevor continued, still bowing. “Please, feel free to punish me as you see fit. I truly regret the inconvenience caused.”Richard replied calmly, “You’ve arrived just in time. I thought you might not make it.”Trevor smiled, “I was held up, but as soon as I received your call, I rushed here. I never want to be the reason for delaying anything important related to the restaurant.”The onlookers

Richard stood outside the gates of the Quantum Restaurant, his eyes scanning the sleek, polished exterior. Though he had frequented many high-end eateries before, there was something undeniably alluring about this place. The gleaming glass windows and the sophisticated architecture were like a beacon, promising luxury and exclusivity. The kind of place where the wealthiest of the wealthy dined. He felt a sense of anticipation and curiosity welling up inside him. This restaurant was one of the few he hadn't yet stepped foot in, and he was determined to make it today.However, his appearance was less than fitting for such a prestigious venue. He wore casual clothes, the stark contrast to the polished corporate suits worn by the others entering. Richard wasn't concerned about his appearance, though. He had a meeting to attend, and that's what mattered.As he approached the entrance, two security guards stepped forward, blocking his way with stern expressions.“Hey, you, stop there. Where

Richard didn’t quite understand Laura’s insistence, but there was a glimmer of hesitation in his heart. She had given him the black card, something valuable, and yet she was not satisfied. She felt she owed him more, and as she spoke, her voice carried an intense sincerity that seemed to both pull him in and push him away at the same time."Richard," she said, her voice soft yet determined, "I’ve told you many times that it's not about the black card. What you did for my father was beyond what anyone could have expected. You gave him back his life, and for that, I can't just thank you with a card. You're special, Richard, and I want to treat you like someone who deserves that kind of appreciation."Richard felt the weight of her words. There was genuine gratitude in her tone, but beneath it, there was something more—a pull he couldn't quite place. Before he could respond, Laura stood up and walked towards him, her steps slow and deliberate, a seductive sway in her walk that caught Rich

Richard walked into his grandfather’s study, the familiar scent of mahogany filling the air as he approached the man sitting comfortably in his chair, looking as composed as ever. His grandfather, George, looked up with a warm smile, clearly pleased to see his grandson."Hello, grandfather, it's been a while. I decided to check up on you," Richard said, his voice calm, though there was an underlying curiosity that had been building inside him since his last encounter."Ah, my grandson," Mr. George said with genuine affection, his eyes lighting up. "You did well by making time to see me. I truly enjoy moments like these, where we can sit and talk, just like a grandfather and grandson should. I wish these visits would come more often."Richard smiled faintly, but there was something else that weighed on his mind. He sat down and began recounting the strange experiences he'd encountered over the past few days. The healing power he had discovered, his ability to assist his colleagues, and
