"Tell me, is there any reason why I shouldn't speak to him in that manner? Is there any reason why he should have my respect?" Roxanne asked as she taunted Aaliyah with wide eyes in search of answers to set her ball rolling."Have you no shame? How can you pull a scene in front of guests who have come to celebrate with grandfather on an important day like this? What do you think grandfather would say when he hears about this?"Aaliyah pulled away from Rics hold and tried to call Roxanne to order in a low voice using their grandfather but Roxanne was ready to play in the mud as long as she could get a chance to drag them with her. Roxanne was absolutely shameless."Well guess what? I don't want him to hear about it, I want him to see it for himself." Roxanne replied as she closed the space between them, her eyes filled with anger and hate for the couple."What did I miss?" Reynold, Roxanne's husband walked to them, breaking the tension between the ladies who intently glared at the other

Ric did his best to maintain his composure and not cause a scene by being physical with Alessandro but that was the only thing that clouded his thoughts.Finally he suppressed the urge and took the path of a gentleman instead. His friends were watching.“That is none of my business. My initial business here is what I will go for, and that is, to buy and leave. I hope you don't try to cause any trouble.” Ric replied calmly.The truth was that Ric haboured resentment for Alessandro, not only because he was Melissa's new husband which of course was a major factor but also because Alessandro had constantly poked his hands in Ric's eyes and though Lord Gullathova had claimed the snipper that was caught that night was independent from Alessandro’s thugs, Ric still had his share of doubts.“I need some particular designer suits for I and my friends,” Ric ignored him totally while he talked to the one behind Alessandro, a lady.That was the lady’s job. To bring whoever wanted to buy clothes so

Benhardt observed Ric's countenance towards him was beginning to fall, he pressed his lips in a thin line and managed a plain smile that didn't get to his eyes.Benhardt could barely comprehend why Ric was unwilling to forgive his father and identify fully as his son leaving behind wretched wanna be people like Alessandro."Young Man!" The manager scolded Ric but before he could charge towards him with a raised hand, Frank side stepped and blocked his path while Benhardt immediately held up his hand to him.Ric looked at Benhardt with disdain and Benhardt knew he had overstayed his welcome, he initially planned to teach Alessandro and the manager a lesson for daring to talk Ric down but at the time, he knew that any public action he took was only going to kindle Ric's anger towards him so he did nothing. "The young man is in his right," Benhardt declared calmy and slumped his shoulders disappointed that he could not prevail to defend his young master.The same person that he could t

“Where are your shopping bags?” Frank came out of the car, surprised to see their empty hands.“We weren’t allowed to buy the designer suits that we wanted.” Gordon muttered in a low tone as he banged the car door closed.“Let’s head out to somewhere we can cool our heads.” Damon said to Frank while Ric got into the backseat beside Gordon.Everyone who was enthusiastic about buying from the exclusive store had gone, drained of their excitement.Damn Alessandro for ruining their plans!Frank drove to the nearest cafe where the friends could chill out and figure out what to do next. He understood perfectly well what they had gone through in that store.“I hope we don’t get bashed here like earlier.” Gordon muttered as they stepped into the exclusive restaurant.This restaurant was also one of the popular ones in the city, known for the best tastes and exclusive food etiquette.The friends picked an exclusive table. “What do you want, sirs?” One of their female attendees came forward to a

"Sir...Good day Boss." He stumbled over his words."Don't call me Boss, I am not your boss. Answer the fucking question if you want to keep your job.""An important man did come to the store but—"The man cut him off.The caller knew he was going to mistake who he was referring to for Benhardt so he stopped him."He came with his friends and what did you do?" The manager’s eyes widened twice their size when he heard that.If this strange man was talking about the one who had just left a few minutes ago, it should be those poor people that he had bashed about not being able to afford their exclusive services.Were they the ones this man is talking about? It couldn’t be!“Sir, there has been no important guest here today come here with his friends. I’m afraid I don’t know what you are talking about. If there were important guests, I would be informed about it, and I would have attended to them myself. I’m sorry, sir, but you made the wrong call,” the manager denied it.It was easier for
