A few hours later, Richard was done with the house chores and almost with cooking. He just had to take the meal to the dining table. He took the fried rice from the burner and dished it into a Large dish. When he was done, he sealed it up. As he was about to take them to the dining, Lady Tashia screamed his name, interrupting him. "Richard," she yelled. "Are you deaf? come down here this minute." "Okay grandma," Richard yelled back. He left what he was doing to answer her call. Meanwhile, Rachael who had been secretly watching him from afar saw this as an opportunity to carry out the evil plan she Intended when she volunteered to join Richard to prepare the meal. As she got to the kitchen door, she spun her head left and right to ascertain that he was really away. "He is gone," She smiled to herself and straightened up. She got close to the burner where Richard kept the food. She opened the lid of the large dish and took a bit of the fried rice. "Great taste," she exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Williams Armstrong, the new manager of the Armstrong business group was celebrating his new position with his best friends, Lawrence and Joshua at Legus Hotel, the most classic hotel in the city. On their table were three glasses of Lickis wine, sold at the rate of half a million dollars per glass Lawrence, one of William's friends sat in his chair like someone trying to hide something. His eyes were filled with fear and he shifted on his chair at regular intervals. "Guess who I met yesterday," Williams said smiling sheepishly. "You know we aren't good at guessing," Joshua replied. "Speak for yourself," Williams said. "What about you Lawrence." "How am I supposed to know," Lawrence returned. "I met Victoria," Williams announced. "Who is Victoria again? What about Isabella," Lawrence said. "Let him finish before you attack him," Lawrence said. "Exactly my point. This time it is not all about relationships, it is something else." "We are listening," Lawrence said

"We have to talk," Joshua said to Williams almost in a whisper. "What do you mean we need to talk? What are we doing now, crying?" Williams returned. "It's something you won't want a soul to hear about. Or I could just spill it out here if you so wish." "I thought we have crossed that bridge already," Williams said crossly. "Not that, it is something else. Something that is eating me up." "Okay. But where do you suggest we go to." "The restroom," Joshua replied. That will offer us a little more privacy. "As you wish. I am right behind you." Joshua went to the restroom first, then Williams followed, a few minutes later. It was to avoid any suspension. "I am here," Williams announced when he got to the restroom. "Cool," Joshua returned. "What is it that is eating you up?" Williams inquired. "You might see this as irrelevant but to me, it's very important. We must take precautions so no one will find out about our little secret." "What precautions?" "It is abou

"Wait," Victoria yelled. Everyone's attention turned to her, including Richard's. "What is wrong with her," he thought. "What is it again," Lady Tashia inquired. "It's noting grandma, I only wanted to say something." "What's that dear," Lady Tashia said with a smile. "I am sorry grandma, I was just over-excited over the turnout of events. Soon this family would be uplifted." "And this junk called Richard will be gone," David added. Richard tightened his fist to control his rising anger. The Weldom family now disgusted him. He felt like bombing the whole place. "Can I go on with my meal now, Vicky," Lady Tashia said. After a year, Lady Tashia called Victoria by the nickname she gave her at birth. Victoria smiled. She was not going to say anything, at least not now. She was beginning to enjoy her past fame which her marriage to Richard stripped her off. "Lady Tashia took the fork filled with rice which Victoria made her drop. Immediately it got into her mouth, she screamed i

Richard stepped out into the paved street of Bee City. He recounted the humiliation he had received from the Weldom family but that meant nothing to him. They will all become events of the past when he starts unveiling what he had he stock for them. He wanted to drop the bicycle there but he was afraid it might be stolen. His neck was stiffened and he turned his neck to both sides to stretch it a little. Then his eyes meant with a strange man. A man that made his heart skip not only a beat but a lot of beats. He was most notable for his large size and the long scar on his face. Richard recognized him from somewhere but he could not recall when and where he had met him. "This must be the man Lady Tashia sent to watch if I am carrying out her orders," Richard thought. "He straightened himself on the bicycle and made sure his watcher had a full view of him. But the large man wasn't there for Richard, he was there for someone else. Since the large man was there, it met Lawrence was
