Chapter 121
Under different circumstances, Alessandro would have introduced himself with his full name to Camille without him having to ask but given the turn out of events, he remained quiet.Camille stared at Alessandro, his eyes boring holes through an already nervous man, his face already squeezed in disapproval."I'm waiting," Camille was not as calm as Ric, he was used to flexing his muscles as a wealthy person and he was ready to bring an arm down on whatever family Alessandro hailed from."Is he really your friend?" The woman who had accompanied her husband asked Alessandro perplexed, she couldn't understand why Alessandro would reveal such information about his friend to strangers.Alessandro nodded, too ashamed to claim Ric as his friend verbally after slandering him before the very same people yet too afraid to deny a relationship with Ric since Camille had no plans of letting the matter go so easily."I don't understand anything happening here anymore, if he is your friend, why did yo

Everything was happening fast before Aaliyah as she took in her environment, Ormond had invited her to accompany him to an event at the Conover club and she had honored his invitation."Do you like it?" Ormond took one of her hand in his and kissed it gently, Aaliyah withdrew her hand from him. Little gestures like this from him often made her uncomfortable especially because she thought it was unfair to Ric."What?""Please respect the ring on the hand at least.""So should kiss the right hand?""Still wrong to kiss my hand, I'm engaged." She scolded him as he pulled over in the marking lot and laughed."Fine, I'm sorry." He turned off the car and sighed."I won't do it again." He turned her face to him, her soft features illuminated by the parking lot lights. Puppy brown eyes and rounded pink lips, his thoughts were deeper.He inhaled deeply and sighed, his eyes shut as he suppressed his dark desires—he couldn't afford to ruin what they had or break her trust in him."Come," he walk

Meanwhile at the airport, Melissa was at a crossroad—she needed to get her investigator off her back and complete her mission. "You know how these things are," she shrugged, not having an appropriate answer, careful enough not to be misunderstood by him still. "Can I make a brief call with your phone please?" She diverted his attention from the subject, Melissa was a smart woman sometimes, she was a bit sly like her father and she knew how to slide out of situations like that—she paid attention to lessons she never received from him."Sure." Melissa took it and confirmed he was making any recording before dialing her own number. "Oops, it was just in my bag. My bad, I thought I dropped it in the darkness. Thanks." She squinted her eyes and faked a smile as she returned his device."I won't be around for a bit, don't miss me much." She said and walked past him down the hallway and through a turn before the power was restored. Melissa took deep breaths as she let herself out of the

Inside the party, Aaliyah and Ric easily blended with others, when Frank joined Ric, the event was almost over."Did you take care of everything?" Ric asked in a calm voice, he was never rash in his communication with Frank."All done,""The gift for the celebrant?" Frank produced a gift bag and handed it to Ric. "Thank you," he received it before going to hand it over to her.Camille had a broad smile on his face when he saw Ric stroll across the hall, he had so much faith in whatever was in the bag."What did you get me?" The little princess dressed in a pink sequence dress with feather ruffles asked, excited like she did for everyone else."Happy Birthday. Open it when you get home." Ric told her."Why and who are you?" The celebrant asked, a slight frown on her face."Your brother's guest." Ric added and turned to leave—he was done with the event, he had made meaningful connections and had completely exhausted his social battery. It was no news that he didn't like parties or even

The long evening finally came to an end and everyone fell silent when Courtney finally opened the gift bag that Ric had got her.She frowned slightly as she peeped and saw just an envelope. "An envelope?" Her countenance fell as she reached into the bag and took it out."What did you get Frank?" Ric looked at him and sighed deeply.Ric really trusted Frank to take care of Petty things like this."What's in it?" Sabrina was the first to ask but Courtney didn't feel too elated to open it anymore.Knowing how her friend Aaliyah always hot her luxury gifts, seeing a light weight envelope, she didn't feel too excited. "I'll just do as he said and open it when I get home." Courtney didn't see the need to make her friend Aaliyah feel bad, though she felt very disappointed. Camille knew that his sister underestimated Ric, "I'm sure Ric wouldn't mind if you opened it here. Right brother?" Camille added. Ric shook his head, "she can do whatever she likes," he wasn't agitated because Frank w

The Conover club had not seen a more luxurious birthday gift than that and it was the talk if the city for days, as the sun continued to rise on the roof of both dubious and good men alike, tension brewed amongst the top families.The quest for the Milano president who was also suspected to be the next Hemsworth board Chairman was still on.Ric sat at the table with Lord Gullathova and a few other members of the Gullathova family—the men alone.Roxanne had protested and insisted on attending if Ric was being allowed but no matter how she whined, Lord Gullathova declined her request. "I called for the meeting to give an update concerning our partnership with the Milano group." Lord Gullathova took the lead and gave details of the meeting to the rest."Ric here will give us more information in the new tech project and let us know how to come in to secure a good place." Once again Lord Gullathova put Ric on the spot."Why me?" Ric asked, he had honored the invitation simply because it w

In the house, Damon busied himself with celebration for Gordon. It was a double win, he hit a partnership contract with the Milano group and the boys also planned a surprise party for him."We didn't end up with a hist that day," as usual Damon troubled Ric but he paid him no attention. "At least you can at least think of something good as a gift if Ric would not respond to me," Damon turned his attention to Frank when Roc kept mute and didn't even as little as spare him a glance."A sports car," Frank shrugged before opening the oven to retrieve the freshly baked muffins. "Are you kidding me right now?" Damon said in shock. "A sports car will cost several thousands of dollars." He further expressed his concern."Millions maybe but he is worth it. Don't you think?" Frank shrugged, he had access to more information than Damon did and he thought to himself that if Ric could gift Courtney who was only the younger sister to Camille—a man he just met, then he would definitely desire to g

The sun had not begun its slow descent as it still cast a warm, amber glow over the serene beach.The serene beach was one Vittorio street where all of the wealthy people relaxed.The soft waves lapped gently against the shore, their rhythmic whispers blending with the laughter and chatter of the ladies who filled the sand."The sun is good today," a blonde haired lady told her companion. She was beautiful, with attractive features, especially long legs.Dressed in flowing casual gowns and stylish beachwear, she moved gracefully, her vibrant outfit swaying in the salty breeze. "I'll touch the water a bit," she strolled away while some strolled barefoot along the shoreline, leaving delicate footprints that the waves eagerly erased. Others reclined on colorful beach towels, sipping refreshing drinks as they watched the horizon where the sky kissed the sea.A few women stood in small groups, their dresses fluttering like delicate petals as they engaged in lighthearted conversations.

The event Roxanne had organized to undo Aaliyah and prove to be more capable had flipped in Aaliyah's favour. The event that was meant to be a show of luxury because a silent battle field.Of course the women were showing off but not as Roxanne had anticipated, instead they all sought to outdo themselves in sponsorship of Aaliyah's wedding and by the time the place was dark, Aaliyah already had a free yet extremely luxurious and extravagant wedding."I didn't expect you all to actually take on responsibilities at my beloved cousin's wedding." Roxanne chirped in when she realized the situation was already beyond her control."Oh don't be silly, what I chose to do is nothing at all. I may even do more before the date reaches." One woman bragged, she felt as though Roxanne thought that they broke the banks to show off so she established the fact that she was wealthier than that."Oh no, that's not what I meant. What I was saying was that Aaliyah's husband to be is already very rich and m

Away in a dark room, a man twirled a tall glass with slender fingers as he flipped through an album filled with pictures of a particular woman.Slow music played that filled the room with an emotion that brought depression to its listener. His dark eyes were hid under dark shades despite the darkness of the room, his expression reflected his dark mood and desire."Son," someone called out to him disrupting his solemn moment—more like a ritual as he mourned a future he never hard but still had faith in."You can't keep doing this," she turned the life on."Turn it off!" He barked, those moments were times when he preffered to be alone with no light illuminating the sorrows that pierced his heart."You can't keep doing this Son, you need to get a life! She's gone–belongs to someone else now." His mother had long tried to talk him out of it but each time she tried, the deeper he plunged in an abyss, dark and bottomless. He was long lost, to him great injustice had been done to him and
