“You never keep to your promises, Richardson. I’d be called stupid if I ever lend you money again.” A sweater cladded Kiara snapped angrily.
“I promise to return every dime back. There’s this project…”He was cut off harshly. “Yeah, yeah, I know. Your supposed project that’s somehow going to transform your entire life. Yeah, right… that’s never gonna happen.”Richardson spluttered. A lot of onlookers had gathered and were throwing him long glances.“Kiara, listen to me, I promise to…”“No, Richardson. Save your promises and get the hell out.”~~~ One thing you need to know about the man named Richardson, was that he was always unlucky.Icy wind whipped at his face. The cold rain pounded him without mercy as he tried to gather his thoughts while hastening his footsteps.He wiped his face but it was no use because of how heavy the rain was. He decided to instead place a palm against his pocket to save the little money in there from getting soaked through.His heart thud against his chest as he approached the hospital, the old building looming before him and making a dreaded feeling overcome him.He could feel his confidence give out, but he squared his shoulders in the rain as he made his way into the building.Thoughts about his mother engulfed him as he walked down the bleary looking hospital’s hallways.It was currently some minutes past eight p.m and he hated how it had taken him almost the entire day to gather the little money he had succeeded in gathering.He could already imagine the doctor and nurses regarding him mockingly, due to how pathetic he must appear to them.On arriving on the floor where his mother was located, his mouth fell open in shock on seeing his mother right there in the freezing hallway, in her bed.Anger overcame him, which quickly transformed into a feeling of helplessness as he stormed down the hallway to the doctor’s office.As expected, the doctor didn’t bother to stand up on seeing him. He was chewing on a gum and regarding some books on his table with a lazy expression on.“I take it you were unable to raise the required money for your mother’s surgery, right?” The doctor murmured tauntingly while regarding Richardson with a raised eyebrow.Richardson spluttered out in anger. “Why is my mother out there in the hallway?!”The doctor rolled his eyes a little and threw his pen down. He leaned back in his seat and folded his hands while chuckling.Richardson suddenly wanted to punch the doctor.“Well, Mr. Wilson, you see– your mother’s hospital bill expired today, and on seeing how long it took for you to show up here for her surgery’s payment, which was supposed to have been held this morning…”“We assumed you were unable to gather the money, so there was no use for your mother to still be in the ward when another patient whose payment had been fully made was in need of a room.”The doctor spoke impatiently, his words digging deep into Richardson’s heart.“Here’s the money for my mother’s surgery. It took longer than I expected to raise the money.”Richardson spoke quietly as he dipped his hand and brought out the money that was unfortunately wet and stuck together, courtesy of the heavy rainfall.The doctor let out a loud scoff as he regarded the money.“Why are they wet? Did you pick them from the ground? Or stole them from someone?”“No, that’s impossible. Here you go, so my mother can get back into her room at least.”The doctor shook his head as he stood up. “I can’t touch that, unfortunately. God knows the amount of germs on it right now. Perhaps you should go get it dried or something.”Richardson squinted. “It’s money. Of course it has germs on it from a lot of people touching it.”“More reasons why you should get it dried up.”Richardson knew the doctor was only doing this because he knew he could walk all over him without retaliation, and that angered Richardson so much.Richardson sighed resignedly. “Fine, at least put my mother back in the room while I go dry up this money.”“Absolutely not, the money needs to be cashed in full first.” The doctor declared as he suddenly pulled the door open, which almost hit Richardson in the face.Richardson stumbled out of the doctor‘s office along with the doctor, he was mortified but not surprised that the doctor was treating him with such nonchalance.Richardson kept following the doctor while trying to convince him to get his mother back into the ward, when the doctor turned around to glare at him.“Stop following me around like a lost puppy! The faster you get the wretched money dried up, the faster your request would be considered.” The doctor thundered loudly.There were quite a few people located here in this hallway and they all turned their heads around to focus on the doctor and Richardson, making Richardson grow more mortified.Richardson gestured around helplessly and attempted to speak, but the doctor turned around and walked in the opposite direction, leaving Richardson dumbstruck, as the onlookers began to murmur amidst themselves.Richardson gathered the last of his tattered pride and went to the restroom when he dried the wet dollar notes with the hand dryer.He returned to the doctor’s office in mortification, and had to stand stiffly while the doctor and his assistant attended to five people before finally attending to him.“This money still isn’t enough for your mother’s full hospitalisation.” The doctor announced as he threw the money back at Richardson, while his assistant tried snickered.Richardson had to pick the money from the floor and wipe them against his shirt, before handing it back to the doctor. He pleaded, promising to return with more money in a few days.~~~ Richardson cradled his mother’s frail hand in his cold ones and brushed a soft kiss against it.He missed her so much.After a lot of pleas, his mother was finally moved back into a room that was smaller than the one she had previously been in, and he was currently perched beside her.His mother was the only family he had left in this world, apart from his girlfriend named Alice, and he’d do everything in his power to not lose her.He dropped his mother’s hand carefully and walked towards the window. He fished out his phone and scrolled through it.The familiar feeling of dejection slowly washed over him as he realized that he was still yet to get a response to his message, as he had anticipated.The dejected feeling was so intense, he hit his head against the window frame a few times while despising how completely pathetic his life was.

“Pack your things and leave,” Richardson said after returning home to see Jennie lounging around by the pool.“Excuse me?” she scoffed when he had said those words.“You heard me. Pack up and get out of my house.”“May I remind you that I am pregnant.”“You forgot to mention that the baby is not mine.” He said those words as she gasped to her feet. He got out his phone playing the video out loud as she watched it in shock.“That video is a fake!”“It looks pretty real to me. Now I have called my bank manager and every single thing I have sent you since this whole thing started has been refunded back to my account and you are back to where you started.”“But that would be that I would be owing the bank. My account would be in minus a hundred thousand dollars.”“Then I suggest you had better start working for your money as you are not my problem anymore.”He nodded to the security guards he had come with as they entered the house with one of them dragging her into the house.“They will

When the women had gone out of the restaurant, Alice listened to the conversation over and over again and was happy that she had gotten what she needed to use against Jennie.She could not believe that she was going to ruin the woman’s life and she was prepared to do it without remorse. If Jennie was going to have Richardson, then she would ruin what they had with this evidence.She had already known where Richardson would be the next day and she was prepared to meet him there.With a triumphant smile, she stood from her seat, no longer hungry as she went home for the day.***The next day, she garbed on her most wonderful attire as she started for the park where she would see Richardson getting his favorite snack.She arrived early to make sure she did not miss him and when she found his car parking there, she rushed to him with her phone to show him the evidence which she so greatly prided herself for.“Hey,” she smiled to him as he got out of the car but his face was swollen like h

She looked out to watch the heir step out of his car and look around in confusion at how the gate was open and how there was no one around the estate.She wanted to warn him but she could tell that her father would also hear her. She had to stop him from getting into the house.She hissed out of her window trying to get his attention but all he did was look around aimlessly trying to figure out where the noise was coming from.When he was done doing that, he ran into the house getting the lady to smack her forehead in anger.“He’s really going to get himsef killed.”Opening her door slowly to make sure she did not alert the man in the house, she started for the stairs as she watched the heir run into the living room.She tiptoed silently to not make any noise in the house and when she reached the bottom of the stairs, a thud was heard with the two men still having conversations.She hid behind the door of the living room to have a peek into the room as she found Richardson hiding behi

“Do you like your new position? I bet it’s really nice to sit on that very comfy seat and give orders from above. The question is, what would happen if someone decided to take away that power from you? Would you let us…”“What do you want?!” yelled the heir tired of the games. He had grown exhausted and he just wanted to see his grandfather. He wondered if everyone in the house was safe. Jennie, Mary, Damien, Tom and his mother. He did not want anything to happen to any of them. He wanted them all to be safe. He refused to believe that anything had happened to Damien.He stood to his feet to face the man once again. He was not going to be afraid of the man but he was going to face him and kick him out of the house.He knew being at the top would make him an automatic target but why would everyone see him as an enemy. He had done nothing wrong.He knew this was the goal of his family members and that was it. There was no one else mad enough to do this.They had hired this low budget h

Richardson arrived at the company with a sour mood as he was tired of the drama which was unfolding at the estate. The drama between Mary and Jennie was getting out of hand.Why would Mary try to be sexual with him? It was not like he liked her that way.“Sir Richardson,” someone greeted him as he looked to see Jace smiling at him with some files in his hand.“Hey, Jace,” the heir said, coming back to earth. “How are you this morning?”“Oh I’m doing alright. I’m here with the files you asked me to compile for you. They do need your approval and they would soon be used later on by the other team so I compiled it as fast as I could.”“That is great,” Richardson got into his office to see a letter on his desk with his name written on it. “Please, drop the files by the cabinet and I’ll give it a quick look.”“Alright sir,” Jace said, dropping the files before exiting the office with the door closing behind him.When the boy was gone. Richardson picked up the letter to read and found it to

Tom grunted as trying to explain his plans to the man before him could expose his entire plans and he did not want that to happen. He also did not want to end this without a climax which would get him a sure victory.As a master of subtlety he was going to try to win Damien over to his side. That was sure to grant him a win and he was prepared for it.“Listen, Damien,” he said again, shocking the man. “What I am trying to tell you is that I can turn this empire into a greater one. All your enemies I can wipe them out with a thought. No one would look down on us ever again. “We can rule and we can make sure that everyone who hears our name trembles in fear.”“Us? Rule? What are you talking about Thomas? Where are you going with this?” Damien asked in shock. “I already have a grandson who will take over for me when I am gone. I will teach him the ropes around everything. “I have watched him grow over the course of a few months he has stayed with me and I have watched him speak kindly
