This was an unbelievable reality.Richard's presence reminded Vincent of everything that had ever transpired between the both of them in the past.How Richard used to treat him, humiliating him and pushing him around like a worthless piece of trash.How he almost broke his limbs with the sole intention of rendering him cripple, how he stole Elizabeth from him, and many more that he could barely even remember.Yes, Richard had committed many atrocities against Vincent both personal and also illegal.If only Vincent had the means back then, even Richard's former power and wealth wouldn't have been able to save him from the wrath of the law, for all of his actions were generally considered outrageous and inhuman. Maybe fate wanted things to go that way. Maybe the table wouldn't have turned on Richard this badly.Whenever he remembered any of these terrible memories, Vincent would feel a wave of anger wash over him.He would grit his teeth and squeeze his palms into a tight fist, feelin
“Thank you!” Richard showed his appreciation to the waiter when he came back to their table with their complete orders.Vincent knew from the very start that the conversation between himself and Richard was going to be a very awkward one especially since they’ve had a long bad history together in the past.“It’s almost like I haven’t seen you since forever Vincenzo……..It’s funny how fast time flies”“Yeah…” With a faint smile, Vincent nodded his head, Richard was right and he couldn't agree less.Vincent had a lot of questions on his mind about Richard but one thing he was overly curious about was what eventually happened to Richard after the incident that transpired at their final year prom night.He just couldn’t hold back the question he had harboured in his mind for a very long time as he thought of ways to ask Richard…... .What became of him after that very night.“I’m really sorry about what happened to you that night……”There was an awkward silence between the two before Richar
The drive from the sushi place to Vincent’s chosen branch of the consortium was not a very long one.After a few turns, Vincent’s car finally arrived at the place he was supposed to be.He was just a few minutes earlier than the expected time he should’ve arrived, that was a good start to the day. He got out of the car and breathed in the freshness of the air that circulated around him before taking out his folder and locking his car.It was a company that made furniture popularly known for its high quality materials such as Italian leather and solid wood with its classic yet modern designs and crystal furniture decor.He took a moment to stare at the tall giant building that stood right before his very eyes.If anyone had told him a few years ago that all of these would eventually be his, Vincent would’ve never believed it.Chin Furniture, a big name tag attached to the very middle of the building spelt out.The moment Vincent entered the building, everyone stayed put in a systematic
Vincent turned his head to the left and suddenly began walking back in the opposite direction of the building’s main exit.Something was wrong…….Or was it just his ears playing mind games with him?He slowly walked towards the direction of the arguing voices that he just couldn’t ignore while Mr. Kevin trailed behind him unaware of what exactly was going on in his boss's head.Kevin wanted to question Vincent further but he knew better than to indirectly raise an affliction against himself.After walking back up the stairs and into the halls, Vincent finally approached the room where the arguing voices were coming from.It was from the last office at the very end of the hall.Vincent began to walk down the hall in curiosity as Kevin quietly trailed behind him.The voices became much louder and clearer to Vincent with every step he took closer, this time even to Kevin.“You have no justification for that!........But please”“Rules are rules……..Please, I can explain”“Hear me out…….The
“What?!”The wind stopped blowing in their direction as the atmosphere around them became dead silent for a moment.With a confused look on his face, Richard slowly walked up to where Vincent stood “Vincenzo, do you realise what you’re saying?!”“Yes Richard, weren’t you informed earlier on about the anticipated arrival of your boss this morning?”“No way…….”“The Heir of The Chin Chain Consortium……..Is really you?!”“Correct!”Richard’s mind travelled back to the time when Vincent’s name was announced on the night of that business meeting party as the new Heir to the one and only Chin Chain Consortium.The biggest and the best within and beyond the fore walls of Midland City.Was it actually true?“But…..But I thought it was all a lie…….”“A well scripted scheme……”“How did all this happen?…..When?”Upon the shocking realisation he had just met, Richard became even more and more confused by the minute.All of this seemed so unbelievable to him but the truth was in plain sight and rig
“Please take down his details and show him his way around his duties”“Yes Mr. Vincenzo”And just like that, Richard got a new job.Vincent walked out of the office and proceeded to make his way out of the building, his work for the day was finally over.“So Mr. Richard, I’ll need you to fill in these…... .Please hold on” Richard abruptly interrupted the man in the office as he hurriedly made his way out of the place.Just as Vincent was about to use the main exit, he heard someone calling out to him.“Vincenzo! Vincenzo!”Vincent could instantly tell that the voice belonged to none other than Richard especially since he was the only person who referred to him as Vincenzo.Nobody else in the office would dare to.“Yes Richard, is there a problem?”“Thank you…….I just wanted to thank you”“I feel so terrible, over the past few years, I’ve been nothing but cruel to”Richard was close to tears as he expressed his gratitude towards Vincent “How do I ever pay you back Vincenzo?……..I really
Vincent continued to narrate to Jane howJane how he firstfirst met Richard in the RestaurantRestaurant and coincidentally met him again at his company.“He was even more surprised than I was, can you imagine the shock we had on our faces”“Woah…….I never really imagined that things woulds go that far Vincent”“Me neither, I feel so terrible for what I did”“At least you owned up to your actions by doing the right thing……..That’s all that really matters now”“You cannot continue to dwell in your past regrets”Jane always had a way of making Vincent feel less guilty for his actions whenever he did something without a justification.“To be very honest, I should’ve never even done what I in the first place”“I was so blinded by my thirst for revenge that I couldn’t even point out the difference between what exactly was right and what was wrong”“Vinny…….Don’t say that”“It wasn’t actually your fault……..His actions compelled you to take whatever step you did”“Basically, Richard was the ro
The entire place was arranged and decorated with ornamental flowers of different kinds from the ceiling to the very floor of the hall…….The types she liked.The exquisite place was a hall adorned with soft, twinkling fairy lights that draped from the ceiling which was complemented with the glowing crystal chandeliers that hung down from the ceiling.The reflection of the lights on the floor was magnificent, it was quite obvious that the floors had been thoroughly shined and polished.Given how few the tables and chairs were, It almost looked like a dinner party for a very limited number of guests.On almost all sides of the hall were snack tablesThe name of the hall was Masa, one of the biggest and most expensive luxury restaurants situated in that side of Midland City.He bought out the entire place for a special event that he wanted to host.He had planned out something grand for that day and it was all for one person.Staring at the quality of his expenses and slowly nodding his h
