“Leaving so soon? Won't you even say goodbye to us.” One of the men muttered, causing Adolphus to move backwards, his heart racing very fast.The two men were the same height as him and he could fight them off, if they fought with bare hands. However, they had weapons and he could not afford to be careless, especially at a place like that.With a resolute mind, Adolphus stopped moving backwards and stood his ground, head up.“Who sent you guys? And what do you want from me?" He inquired. "Wait, I think I know who put you to this.”Thinking about it, Adolphus quickly made the deduction.It was Richmond's handiwork.As they stepped closer without saying a word, Adolphus lifted his right hand up. “Wait." "Richmond put you this. What did he ask you guys to do to me?”While his heart was pounding in his chest, Adolphus had to pretend like he was not afraid. However, he was terrified.They were in the middle of nowhere and there was no way anyone would come and rescue him there.Does it me

The thugs Richmond had hired for Adolphus have just turned on him. And for what reason exactly?Richmond scurried up but before he could completely stand to his feet, another kick sent him back to the floor.“What's going on, guys?" He cried out, nursing the little bruises he had been inflicted with.“Why are you hitting me when I'm the one who employed you to beat up Adolphus.”"Shut that trash can you call a mouth." The thug leader barked at him, causing him to go silent.“It's like you don't understand what…” The man had to stop himself from completing the words he was about to say. There was no point revealing to Richmond that they were paid triple his amount just to beat him up.He just had to cook up a cover story.“What did that poor innocent young man do to you? A boy who's just struggling to earn some money for himself and his school." “Not like a lazy arrogant brat like you who only depends on his father's money." He added, going round Richmond who was groaning in pains on

Svetlana, Vincent and Gabriel had earlier gone to the hospital but were not allowed in.Richmond was sleeping and his father sent some of his domestic staff to look after him.There were also two men guarding the door of his VIP ward.The man was on a business trip and wasn't physically available for his son.Svetlana decided to drop by her mother's house in the company of Vincent and Gabriel. She wanted to ask her for some money since Richmond wouldn't be giving her any that day.Svetlana had been living with Richmond in his exquisitely furnished rented apartment. She didn't live in the hostel nor in her mother's house.She and Richmond were living like a couple in his apartment with Richmond providing everything.With Richmond's friends behind her, they crossed the road to the other lane, just to get a cab that'd be taking them to her mother's apartment.No riding in Richmond's BMW that day because he was confined in the hospital. They wouldn't dare take his car without his permissi

Adolphus and his friends made it to the school gate after classes. They were on their way to visit Richmond at the hospital.Standing close to the major road, Adolphus tried to hail a cab but Glover didn't let him.“Getting on a bus is cheaper. Come on, let's wait at the bus stop." Glover suggested and started towards the nearest bus stop.The others followed behind with Donald giving Adolphus a suspicious look."I noticed that you take cabs a lot these days. You used to always wait for the bus anytime you're going for your part-time jobs.”"What changed? Is it because of the new job you got which we don't know much about?”The question took Adolphus off guard and he remained silent. He was thinking of the right response to give to Donald.“I already told you that the new job has good pay. Don't worry so much about me taking a cab." Adolphus replied after a while as they continued towards the bus stop.Just when they reached the place, a bus pulled over and they got inside.The ride t

Adolphus was already full from his lunch, but decided to take advantage of the situation.With his eyes fixed on Joel who was looking really anxious and angry as well, Adolphus decided to order him around.“Take these glasses away and bring me another glass of cola.” Without a word, Joel tilted himself and cleared the table. He was about to walk away when Adolphus called him back."Hey, come back here. I need you to clean up this table. I want it sparkling.” He ordered, grinning mischievously.Now, Joel would have to see how it feels to be ordered around.A rich kid like him who had lived off his parents wealth, has no idea what it feels like to work hard and earn money.Adolphus had earlier given the order to Bradley. The man had met up with Joel's parents and had a very serious discussion with them.“I'm only here as a messager. And believe me, you wouldn't want my boss to come himself. That'd mean trouble for you guys." Bradley had said to the couple seated before him.He had gone
