Richard’s response to Amelia was smooth, convincing—exactly what he had planned.For a moment, Amelia had suspected that Richard was more than he appeared to be. The way Mr. James and Mr. Fabian treated him with such respect made her question everything she thought she knew about him.Was he really just an ordinary man?But after hearing his explanation, her suspicions faded. His story made sense. He was just a regular guy who happened to have helped a powerful man at the right time. Nothing more, nothing less.And that was exactly what Richard wanted her to believe.“Alright,” Amelia said, nodding. “Thanks for helping me out today. And… I’m really sorry for doubting you earlier.”Richard smiled. “It’s no problem. You’re my girlfriend. It’s only right that I help you whenever I can.”His words sent a wave of warmth through Amelia’s chest. She gave him a small, grateful smile before Richard bid her farewell.They parted ways, each lost in their own thoughts.As Richard drove home, he no

Richard decided to grant Clara’s request and followed her inside for a cup of coffee.By now, she seemed a bit more sober, her movements steadier as she made her way to the kitchen. Richard settled into the plush couch in the living room, letting out a quiet sigh. He hadn’t planned for any of this—meeting a drunk stranger, driving her home, and now being inside her house.But something about Clara intrigued him.She was reckless but independent, wild but strangely composed.Still, this was nothing more than a favor. Once he had his coffee, he would be out of here.Or so he thought.A loud crash from the kitchen shattered the silence.Richard shot up from the couch, his heart racing as he hurried toward the sound.When he reached the kitchen, his eyes widened.Clara was on the floor, a broken mug beside her.He rushed to her side, his hands instinctively reaching for her. “Oh dear, what happened?” he asked, concern laced in his voice. “I wouldn’t have let you do this if I had known you

Richard leaned back slightly, arms crossed, his sharp gaze fixed on Charles and Oliver. He could see the curiosity burning in their eyes, the unspoken questions they desperately wanted to ask. He had expected this—sooner or later, they were bound to notice the shift in his demeanor, the way his life had taken an unexpected turn.But now wasn’t the time for explanations.“You’ll find out soon enough,” Richard said with a casual smirk. “For now, just know that fortune has been on my side. Let’s just say I’ve been pretty lucky lately.”Charles squinted at him, skeptical. “Did you win another lottery? Or are you still living off the winnings from the last one?”Richard chuckled, shaking his head. “Something like that,” he replied vaguely. “Just take it as me stumbling into a few good opportunities.”His nonchalant tone only added to their confusion, but after a moment of exchanging looks, Charles and Oliver dropped the subject.“Well, whatever it is,” Oliver muttered, “at least you’re not

Richard arrived at the restaurant earlier than expected, stepping inside to find the place already bustling with activity. The scent of freshly cooked meals filled the air, mixing with the soft chatter of customers and the occasional clatter of dishes. It was a lively atmosphere, the kind he had grown used to over the past few weeks.The first person to notice him was Lily, one of his co-workers. She turned toward him with a bright smile.“Hi, Richard! You’re right on time today.”Richard returned the smile, adjusting the strap of his bag. “The lecturer didn’t take up his full time today. He had something else to attend to, and since it was my only class, I decided to come straight here.”Lily nodded approvingly. “That’s great! We’ve got a lot of customers today, so we could really use the extra hands.”Richard didn’t mind. He quickly made his way to the staff changing area, swapping his casual clothes for the restaurant’s uniform. He rolled up his sleeves and stepped back into the din

Richard’s grip on the food tray tightened the moment his eyes landed on the unexpected group seated at one of the booths.Dominic. Jane. Natasha. Isabella.He hadn’t expected them to show up here, let alone track him down to his workplace.A knot formed in his stomach, but he quickly masked his unease. He wasn’t about to let them get a reaction out of him.“What are you doing there just standing around? Hurry up and serve our customers!” Rachel’s voice cut through his thoughts.Snapping out of his trance, Richard hurried toward her and took the food tray she had prepared.“Serve those kids over there. They just placed this order,” Rachel instructed.Richard hesitated for a brief moment before taking the tray. He knew he had no choice but to do his job, even if it meant walking straight toward his coursemates.As he reached their table, Dominic and Jane exchanged amused glances.“Well, well, well,” Jane mused, a smirk playing on her lips. “So, after everything, you’re just a waiter?

Richard’s slap across Blake Wade’s face echoed through the restaurant, sending a wave of shock through the onlookers. Every pair of eyes widened in disbelief. The entire room fell into an eerie silence.Blake Wade, now clutching his burning cheek, slowly turned his head back toward Richard, his expression shifting from stunned disbelief to unfiltered rage.“How dare you lay your dirty hands on me?” Blake hissed, his fists clenching. “Now, I won’t spare you.”Rachel’s face drained of color. She knew what Blake Wade was capable of, and she feared the worst for Richard. Without thinking, she stepped in front of him, her hands trembling as she tried to reason with Blake.“Please, have mercy on him,” she pleaded desperately. “He’s just a new staff member, and he knows nothing about you.”Blake let out a cruel laugh, his eyes flashing with malice. “Mercy?” he spat. “I was willing to forgive him before, but now? Now, I’ll make sure he regrets ever stepping into this restaurant.”Lily, still s

Richard stood firm, his expression unshaken despite the overwhelming danger before him. The restaurant had never been this silent, with everyone holding their breath, waiting for what would happen next.Ms. Jessica was terrified. She had seen Natt Wade’s cruelty before, and she knew he wouldn’t let Richard go easily. Desperate to save him, she quickly stepped forward.“Please forgive Richard,” she pleaded. “He’s just a new staff member. He didn’t know who he was dealing with. I will agree to give you the 20% share of my restaurant if you let him go.”Natt Wade’s eyes darkened, his rage still burning from the humiliation Richard had inflicted upon him. “He laid his dirty hands on me, and you think I’ll just forgive him?” he snapped.Ms. Jessica swallowed hard, trying not to show her fear. “I will increase the percentage of earnings I give you if you let him go.”Natt tilted his head slightly, pretending to consider her offer. “If you want my forgiveness, 20% is nowhere near enough. If y

Richard stood firm as Natt Wade hesitated, his face filled with confusion and disbelief. It was clear that he couldn’t understand why a man as powerful as Mr. James would go out of his way to protect someone like Richard.“What are you doing here, boss?” Natt Wade finally asked, his voice laced with curiosity and a hint of nervousness.Mr. James folded his arms and fixed him with a sharp gaze. “I should be the one asking you what you were trying to do to this young man.”A heavy silence settled over the restaurant. The tension in the air was thick, the weight of Mr. James’s words pressing down on everyone present.Natt Wade struggled to hide his unease. He had expected to punish Richard without interference, yet here he was, facing one of the most feared men in the underworld.“I was just trying to teach this loser a lesson,” Natt Wade muttered, his pride preventing him from backing down. “He humiliated me today, and I can’t let that go unanswered.”The moment the word loser left his m

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

The situation had escalated beyond anything Richard could have predicted. 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

The days that followed the collapse of Victor Carmichael’s empire were a blur of media frenzy, legal battles, and corporate upheaval. The world had woken up to the truth, and the sound of Victor Carmichael's fall echoed through every newsroom, every government office, and every financial institution. Richard Harrington had been the one to orchestrate this monumental shift. He had been the ghost in the machine, the man who patiently waited for the right moment, only to strike when the empire was most vulnerable.As the revelations about Carmichael’s illicit activities spread, the public outcry was deafening. Television screens blared with news of Carmichael Enterprises being implicated in corruption, illegal arms deals, and exploitation of labor across the globe. News anchors debated on air, and lawyers and investigators scrambled to get in front of the cameras, making bold statements about how they would bring the company to justice.It was exactly what Richard had wanted. He had care

Richard’s breath came in shallow bursts as he stood in front of Victor Carmichael, the man who had orchestrated the destruction of his family, who had built his empire on lies and bloodshed. The safe, which he had just been moments away from opening, now felt like a distant memory. His hand was still resting on the lock mechanism, but his focus was entirely on the man standing before him—Victor Carmichael, his face a mask of calmness, but with eyes that betrayed a flicker of unease.Victor’s calm voice echoed through the room. “So, you thought you could get away with this, Richard?”Richard straightened, his gaze unflinching as he met Victor’s cold stare. “I didn’t think I could get away with it. I planned for it. And I made sure my friends know exactly where I am. You can’t touch me, Victor.”There was a long pause as Victor took a step back, seemingly surprised by Richard’s resolve. His lips curled into a tight smile. “You’ve really thought this through, haven’t you? Always one step
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Nine
For months now, Richard had been living two lives: one as a diligent student, balancing his classes with the pressures of his ambitious career, and the other as a trusted employee within Victor Carmichael’s empire, working tirelessly to dismantle it from the inside. He had quickly risen through the ranks of Carmichael Enterprises, and the trust he had garnered from his colleagues was undeniable. Everyone had begun to see him as a competent, hardworking, and reliable part of the team. He had proven himself time and time again by securing new partnerships, building relationships with key figures, and handling increasingly complex tasks.Richard’s friends, Charles and Oliver, had always known that Richard was up to something bigger, something dangerous. They had supported him in their own way, understanding the importance of his mission but also growing concerned about the toll it was taking on him. They’d seen the late nights, the constant tension in his eyes, and how he sometimes seeme
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Eight
It had barely been a month since Richard had joined Carmichael Enterprises, yet the impact of his presence was undeniable. In just a short period, he had transformed from a fresh-faced employee to one of the most talked-about people in the company. His connections, his quick thinking, and his ability to navigate the corporate landscape had granted Carmichael Enterprises several high-profile partnerships, and their position in the industry had grown exponentially. Victor Carmichael himself had taken note of Richard’s rapid ascent, a rare feat in a company where loyalty was earned through years of backbreaking work. At first, it had been subtle. Richard had helped secure a deal with Baldwin Industries, bypassing months of stalled negotiations. Then came another deal—this time, a partnership with a consortium of government contractors that pushed Carmichael Enterprises into new, uncharted territories. Richard’s business acumen and ability to leverage connections had made him invaluable.
