CHAPTER 63
The moment Richard arrived at his mansion, he went straight to the living area. His footsteps were slow and each one seemed to be filled with restraint. Seated comfortably at the dining table, his mother appeared at ease as though she had every right to be there. A glass of wine rested between her fingers, and she took small sips as she spoke with elegance. The biscuits laid out before her had been arranged and she picked one up continuing her conversation. She spoke to Michelle, recounting fragments of stories of Richard when he was younger. They were stories of a child she had never raised and memories she had only come to know through the mouths of others who were present when she wasn't. She spoke with such confidence that painted her as a caring and nice mother who was present and always available in Richard’s past.Michelle sat across from her, listening with curiosity in her eyes. She had welcomed the woman out of courtesy. When the woman had introduced herself as Richard’
CHAPTER 62
Richard had woken up earlier than usual that morning.The sky had brightened a bit and the villa was quiet with most of the household still asleep He had stood by the window of his room, looking out at the surroundings, but his thoughts wandered soon after. There was something he needed to settle today. Without making any noise, he had gotten dressed and left the villa without disturbing Michelle or Marty. By the time the sun was at its peak, Richard’s car was already moving through a different part of the city.The environment changed gradually as he drove and the familiar urban landscape gave way to an exclusive area.Eventually, his car slowed as it approached a grand estate.The property was impressive, surrounded by tall gates and carefully trimmed hedges. The architecture spoke of money and elegance and its design set it apart from ordinary residences.Before Richard even came to a stop, the guards at the gate had already recognized him and the gates opened without hesitation
CHAPTER 61
Despite everything that had just happened, Michelle found herself letting out a chuckle.It came unexpected, even to her.Richard frowned as he looked at her. He didn't understand what she found amusing at a moment like this.But Michelle shook her head, a faint smile still on her lips.The great Richard Carter had stuttered.It was such a little thing yet it felt significant. She had never seen him lose composure before. He was always calm and on point with his words and actions but just now, he had faltered and that made him feel real.Her mind drifted back to everything that had happened earlier that day.The moment he appeared beside her on the highway and the way he had taken her away from Alister. He had shielded her and handled the situation with ease that left her speechless.Even in the car while they were being chased and shot at, she had not felt the kind of terror she expected to feel. He was there with her through it all and despite the danger she had trusted him.Mic
CHAPTER 60
Denzel Washington had been in a good mood that night. He laid with a huge smile on his face as he held the lady laying naked beside him with sweat dripping from both of their bodies. The private hotel suite he occupied was one of the most expensive in the city and was meant for people with power and influence. The lightning from the chandelier filled the room, and the faint scent of expensive cologne and wine lingered in the air.For the first time in days, the irritation he felt whenever he thought about Richard Carter had eased. The idea that the man who had disrupted his affairs, humiliated his brother, and threatened his position would soon be eliminated filled him with satisfaction.He leaned back with a smug smile at the corners of his lips as he enjoyed the moment.Beside him, the woman laughed, completely unaware of the thoughts running through his mind. She had been there to entertain him, and up until that moment, everything had gone exactly as expected.But then somethin
CHAPTER 59
The car’s speed increased and she finally realized something was wrong. Richard’s driving had changed and his movements behind the wheels became hurried as he maneuvered through the traffic.Within seconds, the car surged forward, weaving between other vehicles on the highway. Michelle’s fingers tightened around the edge of her seat as her heart skipped in alarm.“Richard…?” she called out in fear. He still didn't answer as his eyes remained focused on the road.Her eyes instinctively moved toward the side mirror, and that was when she saw them for the first time.Two dark vans were speeding towards them disregarding the other cars on the road. They were closing in and a wave of unease rushed through her. Before she could process what was happening, a loud sound tore through the air. The men in the van behind were shooting at them. Michelle flinched in fear. “They’re shooting at us!” she gasped, her voice rising in panic.Her heart began to pound uncontrollably as she ducked in
CHAPTER 58
After the clash by the roadside, Richard had wasted no time as he walked Michelle back to his car. His grip around her wrist was firm as though he needed to reassure himself that she was safe. The entire time, he did not say a word and the silence made Michelle unsettled.Once they got into the car, Richard started the engine and drove off without another glance behind.He could not believe that Michelle had gone to see Isabella without informing him but all the same, Richard already understood why she had done it. He knew her far too well by now, and her kind heart was something she could never suppress, no matter how dangerous the situation became.Yet as much as he admired that part of her, it also made him worried because in a world like his, kindness often came at a cost. And right now, that cost might be greater than she could imagine.Inside the car, Michelle sat in the passenger seat, stealing glances at him. She had noticed the shift in his demeanor but as usual, his expressi
