“Ok, fine, I will beg,” Leonard said, falling to his knees, he couldn't bear to look at their faces for a couple of seconds, because he needed no one else to tell him that he had fucked up. Deep down he was feeling shitty, seeing the expression on their face will only make the way he is feeling worsen. “I am sorry. I am on my knees, begging from the depth of my heart, whoever it is that did this, should please forgive me,” he pleaded, his voice filled with conviction. He raised his head to stare at Ric, “Please,” It was him, it had to be him, ‘cause no one else left the room, he was the only one that excused himself and in a couple of seconds, his life was already in ruins. “Wait, you guys want me to place my head on the floor and beg, huh?” he asked with a desperate tone, still keeping his eyes glued on Ric, “sure, I will” he added and placed his forehead on the floor. “Please, forgive me,” he cried out. “Well, I am not the one that did it and even if I am the one, I am not sur

The young officer suddenly paused as though controlled and his face paled.“Are you saying?” He didn't dare to complete the statement“Yes! We're all fired!” The captain screamed in sheer anger as he looked at the young officer.Ric was a bit surprised by the sudden news but he wasn't in the least concerned about it.The crowd had suddenly gone silent. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop from miles away.The officers were all staring at Ric. Everyone was staring at Ric, their mouths wide open and the silence was suddenly broken when a young officer stepped towards Ric, his arms rubbing together in a begging stance.“Please…” he pleaded, his eyes wide with regretRic who was taken aback, moved a step backwards and his eyes widened.“ What are you doing?” He asked feeling embarrassed.The officer looked like he was ready to burst into tears“Sir, I'm really sorry. I can't loose this job. It's my everything” The man pleaded.The captain buried his head in his hands, the car lo

"Sir," the officer in charge addressed Ric, "would you be willing to come with us so we can access the security footage?" He asked, his arms crossed. He knew that he had been sacked but he still felt it his job to get to the bottom of this matter.Ric's lips curved into a satisfied smirk. "Of course but there's no need for that."The officer was a bit confused but he remained quiet and waited for Ric to clarify."The car has a security device as it is and I have the keys with me." Ric said with a smile as he dangled the key for all to see. This was one of the things that Lord Gullathova had also informed Ric of over the call.With a dramatic flourish, Ric unlocked the car, pressing a button on the key. As the sleek black doors swung open, the crowd leaned closer in awe.The neighbor, however, shrunk back, his face drained of color.Ric shot a look at the man who looked like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him. He looked really suspicious.The officerin charge, along with hi

In a corner inside a room each with a glass of their favorite juice were two ladies seated for the same event. Each of the ladies is as beautiful as a princess one with curly hair while the second with long blonde hair that cascaded to her waist line. It was evident they were so lost in the pool of their gossip and laughter that filled the whole room. Roxanne Aliya’s cousin was the one with curly brunette long hair while her friend was the one with straight blonde hair, Kiera. They were both dressed in shimmering dinner gowns.“Do you think he cast a charm on grandfather?” Roxanne asked her eyes on Kiera's. “I was thinking the same cause I don't know why he would choose an ex-convict to be his son - in-law...… like? What the heck is that” Kiera sipped from the juice in her hand her interest in someone’s else life was chastely evident in her eyes. “We are friends for a reason always having the same thoughts” Roxxane teased and Kiera smiled. Roxanne opened her mouth to form a sent

Ric had ignored Roxanne and her tantrums all the while simply because he had made a promise to Aaliyah earlier.Not like any of what was said got to him but a part of him yearned to fix Roxanne and her husband in their place.This was an usual feeling for Ric and he had spoken out of impulse, he would normally let comments pass but he suddenly felt the need to shut the couple up a day flaunt his wealth in their face as they did with wealth that was not accrued by them in any way."Ric, you should sit here." Lord Gullathova offered his seat at the head of the table to Ric and everyone in the hall gasped.That light gesture held a lot of meaning which most people understood.As the host family, a long table had been put on the elevated platform so even the slightest movement of the people seated on that table was taken note of by all of the guests."Grandfather!" Roxanne protested."You will not utter a word against st my decision." The arch of his brow and the stern look on Lord Gullath
