Chapter 49 : A system that heals
The Denali energy contract was launched, but Richard barely had the time to go out of the house. He was more focused on trying to heal, but it looks like he was having a difficult time healing. Tony had done a bit of research and finally found out who ambushed Richard, but all traces led nowhere. The video was a bit messy and blurry, hiding the face of the man who tried to have him killed.“I think you should let this go, man. I don't think we are going to ever catch this guy.” Richard said, sliding into the chair. “How is business going these days?”“Better, I must say. We are getting more delivery jobs than I care to admit. And there is this one company. It is more focused on us and has been calling us from time to time.”“And do you think I know this company?” Richard arched his eyebrows. Tony scratched his head trying to remember. “Oh, yeah. I have got his business card right here.” He dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out an ID card. “One of these men gave this to m
Chapter 48: Restrategize.
Troy, Tony , Calvin and Clara all rushed into the hospital demanding to see their boss. Troy, who was supposed to have driven Richard that day, couldn't forgive himself.The thought of Richard's death made him even more scared. They all knew he was the bread winner of their families. As they walked into Richard's wards, he couldn't stop wondering how they all got to meet themselves. “ What is your definition of lying low, boss?” Troy said, looking at him. Richard wanted to talk but he could only wince in pain. The door opened and one of the nurses walked in carrying a small tray of medicine. “ You need to let him rest. He has to recover fast and talking now isn't too good for him.” she said, staring at their faces. Tony, who was a former military man, decided he was going to be staying right outside the door for his protection. He wasn't a man of many words but Richard could see his heart. He was sincere and loving. Richard took his medicine and relaxed. He looked at their faces
Chapter 47: A Faint Heartbeat
Who is married to Mr Richard Tucker?” he said with a tired face. “ That would be me.” Dianne said with a cocky face as she cleaned the tears off her face. Sarah looked a bit worried as she stared at the man who was in a white coat “ How is he?” The doctor sighed and removed his gloves. “He’s alive,” he said slowly, “but he’s in a very critical condition. We managed to stop the bleeding, but there’s head trauma and several broken ribs. He lost too much blood.”Dianne’s heart dropped. “Can I see him?”The doctor shook his head gently. “Not yet. He’s being moved to the intensive care unit. Once he’s stable, you can see him for a few minutes.”Tears filled her eyes again. “Thank you,” she whispered.Sarah stood a few steps away, her arms crossed. “See? He’s alive,” she said coldly. “But you still managed to almost destroy him.”Dianne turned sharply. “Why are you even here, Sarah? Haven’t you done enough already?”Sarah scoffed. “I have every right to be here. I care about him more tha
Chapter 46: The Night of the Crash
Money isn't everything. When a man has money, he craves for something else. Love maybe, power, or something more. As the car tumbled, Richard thought it was all over. Away from the Warren’s who only saw him as a tool to be used. Away from Sarah who wants his heart and of course Thomas Bishop who wanted him gone for some weird reasons known to him. The rain didn’t stop that night. It poured harder as if the sky itself was crying.Broken glass lay scattered across the wet road. Richard’s car had flipped twice before landing in a ditch. The headlights were still on, flickering weakly in the dark. Steam rose from the crushed bonnet, and the sound of dripping water filled the silence after the crash.Inside, Richard’s head rested against the steering wheel. Blood trickled slowly down his forehead. His breathing was faint but steady. The phone that had caused his distraction was lying near his feet, its screen was shattered but still glowing faintly with Sarah’s name on it. Minutes p
Chapter 45 : Fatal accident
Dianne looked at Brian with anger. Her hand slightly placed on his chest as he was about to move closer. “ Why are you so persistent? I told you I don't want to have anything to do with you. When are you going to realise this and leave me the hell alone.” Brian took a step backward, he slowly brushed his hair backwards and smiled. “ You still don't get it, do you?”“ Get what?” Diane asked, her hands slightly resting on the table. “ Richard is not at your level anymore. He has moved on and if you are smart, you will see that he doesn't need you anymore.” Brian said locking gaze with her. His eyes slowly went towards Richard who was still talking to his guest and back at Dianne. “ You know, I have been wondering. The Denali contract you promised my parents, I don't see you fulfilling that promise exactly Richard who made it happened. Remind me why you are here again.” Brian wanted to talk but he couldn't. He could see that Dianne was flooring him.“ Funny. Do you know how he got h
Chapter 44: The launch of the Denali contract
Meanwhile, The Denali Contract was launched with Richard standing right beside Sarah Robertson and trying as much as possible to keep a low profile. He only needed to take some pictures and also sign a few documents since he officially collected the contract on behalf of The Warren’s family. Gerald and Kathleen felt a bit drawn back. They couldn't go and meet him or even shake hands with him while Dienna also felt bad. She could read the atmosphere and noticed how Ricard had distanced himself from her. But Sarah, she was all over Richard. She kept introducing him to each business tycoon and also to many of her business associates. But then, Brian Lawrence walked in, even making the tension escalate. Sarah has given strict instructions not to allow him to enter but somehow, Brian found a way. He walked towards the Warren’s family and greeted Gerald. At first, Gerald didn't want to pay him any attention but he reminded him of the money he had given to him just in the nick of time t
