With the metal rod that one of them held in his hands, he hit Mr. Thompson hard on the right leg.
Causing him to lose balance so that he would quit struggling with them while they continued their mission with ease as they had been ordered to.After they had finished robbing him, they fled into different directions as Mr. Thompson lay on the ground screaming in pain.Mr. Thompson didn’t show up at school for three whole months after that.Richard was finally satisfied that the threat was gone.He thought that the man got scared and left the school.It turned out that they had broken the bone a little above his ankle, destroying a muscle which prevented him from walking properly.That eventually led to the permanent limp in Mr. Thompson's right foot.Also, the important documents he had earlier were for the custody of his child.Losing the papers that day was not the major problem, but unfortunately, he sRichard reluctantly collected the letter from the HOD as the man walked away without saying a single word.The HOD was a middle aged man of very few words, he barely said much but his actions usually spoke with volume.Richard tore off the seal on the envelope and slowly unfolded the neatly folded paper inside.In this envelope contained a letter.The students immediately recognized what it was because it was the exact same envelope that was handed to Mark David the very day he got expelled.It was definitely an expulsion letter.The look on Richard’s ace changed the instant he read the letter.His heart dropped as the feeling of embarrassment and sadness loomed all over him.Richard finally left the stage and went out to the school’s parking lot where he had parked his All white Range Rover.He rolled his right palm into a fist and punched it against the window, creating a few cracks in the tinted glas
“Oh, my darling,” Mr Issac said as he gave his daughter a hug.“I thought you wouldn’t come to visit your father”“Dad…If I don’t, who will?” The girl asked as she lightly chuckled at Mr. Issacs childish thoughts.“Pardon me Mr. Vincenzo”“This is my daughter Jessica”“Jessie this is Mr. Vincenzo, the new heir of the Chin Chain consortium”She was surprised to hear that.Usually, the heir to most of these consortiums were old men and in fewer cases middle aged.This is because they spend more than half of their entire lives growing the consortium and working their way to the top.She took a brief glance at Vincent with a flirty gaze, maintaining deep eye contact as she shook hands with him.“Pleased to meet you” She said in a soft voice as she continued to stare at him.Merely looking at Jessica, one would describe her as a goddess, the way she looked, spoke and comforted herself was e
The entire ride home was a very quiet one as the only thing that could be heard was the whistling of the wind hitting against the windows and cars that sped past theirs.Vincent and Jane finally arrived at Ms. Anna’s residence after a short drive.Vincent alighted from the car and proceeded to the passengers seat in the front.Just as he was about to open the door for her, she helped herself to it and alighted from teh car as she picked her purse and walked away without saying a word to him.“Jane, are you okay?” Vincent asked feeling concerned by the way she acted.She turned back to look at him with a straight face “I’m fine”“Go home, It’s late” She said whhile maintaining the look n her face as she faced forward and continued to walk toward’s the main entrance to the house.Vincent got into his car, intending to drive back home.He knew that something was wrong and Jane did not seem too happy with him “But what wcould the matter be?”. He thought to himself as he started the caHis
“What about the office itself??” Richard asked with a puzzled look on his face as he seemed to be getting even more confused by the minute.“Sir, the address you provided was a hotel, It’s a well known hotel along Maple Residential Area” “There were also no banners at those areas that you claimed to have seen some”Vincent’s eyes widened as he felt the ground beneath him crack.The Attorney’s words had just sent a cold chill down his spine.His mind drifted to several places at once as he couldn’t think of anything at that moment.Richard stayed that way for a moment, taking time to properly digest the fact that he was doomed and there was absolutely nothing that he could do about it.His body suddenly turned cold as he had his eyes fixed on the desk staring at nothing in particular with an empty void look on his face.“You said that they sent you an email once, right?” The attorney’s voice resounded in the overly quiet office as it snapped Richard out of his trance.Richard’s ey
“You mean Vincent?” “Exactly Dad, that guy”“I thought he already had someone else”“No dad, they’re just friends”“I see…..So you're only willing to prolong your stay only because of him”The relaxed look on Jessica’s face vanished and replaced itself with a look of surprise before she replied sarcastically “Dad…You've started twisting my words, that’s not what I meant” “By the way dad, do you perhaps have his contact?”“Of course Jessie, how’d you think I invited him to the party? Through telepathy?”“No, actually, I thought you summoned him through a mirror” Jessica rolled her eyes playfully, knowing that her father was just being sarcastic as always.Jane was in no mood to talk that night so she freshened up and went straight to bed that night.The next day, she finally decided to open up to her mother during lunch time.She narrated what happened the entire day, right from when the graduation ceremony, down to the incident at Mr. Issac’s residence.She told her mother about Jes
The drive to the car dealership was not a very short one as they seemed to have journeyed for quite a while.On the way there, Vincent asked that they make a stop at an eatery.When Samuel came across the next eatery, he alerted Vincent and made a stop beside it.Vincent walked out of the car to get something to eat since he didn’t finish his breakfast out of excitement that morning.As he got closer to the entrance of the eatery, he turned back to realise that Samuel was not behind him.Noticing this, he walked back to the car and knocked on the front passenger-seat window.Samuel rolled down the window for him “Aren't you coming with me?”“Don’t worry sir, im fine”“Don’t be ridiculous, I insist”“Fine sir” Samuel gave a sigh of defeat, finally giving up on his strong headed refusal as he got out of the car and followed Vincent into the eatery.They went into the restaurant and ordered some takeaway meals and drinks which they carried into the car.They continued their journey and n
The manager checked his phone to see the notification as a smile plastered his lips.“Nice doing business with you Mr. Vincenzo, I have received the alert”“What!” Elizabeth was completely confused as she didn’t realise when she accidentally said that out loud.Vincent ordered that the car be driven to his place that very day and gave the Manager the address of his residence.Everyone dispersed leaving Elizabeth alone in utter disbelief as cold shock waves ran through her body.Samuel and Vincent walked out of the car dealership and drove back home while the manager walked away as he called two of his boys to attend to the delivery.Elizabet was still there trying very hard to understand what had just transpired.“Was it all real?”“Was he actually real now”“Or was he just pretending when in reality, the tall blonde guy was behind all the wealth that Vincncent claimed to have acquired?”These thoughts ran through her mind as she couldn't place a finger on one thing.To clear these do
It didn’t take long before Elizabeth arrived at a giant mansion that was coloured in white and grey, along with a tag and a number by the side.“THE VINCENZO RESIDENCE” The black tag was attached to the wall spelt boldly in gold letters.Struck by amazement, Elizabeth couldn’t believe that Vincent lived there now.Her mind was still filled with so many doubts but she was somewhat convinced when she noticed the red sports car that he came to purchase earlier.Seeing that, she was certain that she wasn’t at the wrong house.She knocked on the gate for a while before someone finally came to answer her.“Good Afternoon Miss” The chef said with a smile.When Vincent got the call from the residence security office earlier, he ordered his chef to attend to his incoming visitor and to also inform her that he wasn’t around while he stayed upstairs in his room.He put his plans for Elizabeth on hold because a sudden matter arose.It didn’t take Vincent a very long time to notice what was going
