The party

Chapter  5

Richard's pov

I took my cellphone and dialed Ella's  number. She’s a model I take to evening parties when Rose wasn’t available.

She has an excellent figure and nice shape. Her legs were smooth and her skin color was breathtaking. I loved this features and that’s why am able to stand her being around me.

She’s not famous or anything, she just began her career in one of my companies where I met her.

She picked up after the second ring.

“Boss Richard .. “She gasped.

I smiled slightly.

“Come to my mansion before 5 pm. We have a party to attend. “I said.

“Sure thing boss. “She said and I disconnected.

Now.. Time to find something nice to wear.

I took my Tablet and looked for the best new cologne to order.

Am Richard Okafor, best of my age.

…………….. 

It was time. I walked into the living room to see Ella sitting on one of the stools before the wine tower.

She was backing me.

“Ella. “I called.

She turned. She was holding an alcoholic half drank wine in her hand.

How dare she??

Serving herself without my knowledge.

She his the bottle behind her and got down from the chair . she approached me laughing.

“Hey.. “She said.

She looked really drunk.

“Ella, you’re drunk! “I said angrily.

“We can still manage. And maybe after this party, we’ll go have some fun in a hotel. “She said.

She tripped and fell on my couch. Her eyes fluttered open as she bent forward and began throwing up on the floor.

I groaned angrily.

“You B*tch! Security!!! “I yelled in furry and they came running in.

“Get her out of my mansion and never let her in ever again.! “I ordered.

They lifted her carrying her out of the living room.

Amanda's  pov

I was hiding behind a door watching the scene. Richard must be extremely angry with the way the girl just behaved.

And he’s taking her to the party???

Must he show up with a girl?

I was suddenly feeling offended with what he did.

Can’t he dress Ruth up like a fine lady and take her along?

Richard  is a jerk face.

“How long will you stand there eavesdropping?! “I heard his voice yell and I knew he was referring to me.

I came out of my safe zone and stood before him but far away.

“You snoop around too much Miss Amanda . “He said.

“Am sorry sir, just that I was bored to the bone. “I said rubbing my hands together.

“Here “he said and threw a black dress at me.

I caught it with both hands.

“Wear those. You’re coming with me to the party. “He said.

“What?! “I exclaimed.

“You have to. Its part of your task to get my finger prints . “He said.

I groaned tiredly.

“Fine… “I muttered under my breath.

He rolled his eyes at me and left through the main door.

I went to my room to wear the dress. It felt too light and I hope its not too explosive. But I hoped wrong, it was d@mn hot dress.

It stopped few after my butt and left my br**st ajar.

I tried fixing it and it covered up a bit. Truth be told, I don’t want to wear this.

……………….. 

I entered the Range Rover  car and closed the door.

“What are you wearing?? “Richard  asked.

“I told you am pregnant. I can’t expose my body. Its shameful. “I said.

I was wearing one of my ball gowns which was short and cute but not explosive.

He sighed.

“What’s there to cover up when you’ve already done it? “He asked.

I didn’t know when I angrily smacked him on the head.

“Shut up and drive! “I ordered.

He angrily turned on the car and we drove off.

Controlling Richard  is fun but I hope he doesn’t turn that against me and avenge.

Amanda's pov 

Richard  pulled over by the parking area where other exsiquite cars were parked.

We alit from the car and began walking to the Hotel where the event was been hosted.

“Remember, you’re with me. I don’t want you to go around fl!rting. “He said.

“Jealous already? “I asked.

“Shut it. “He whispered as we walked into the reserved hall.

There were many guests who wore Poncey outfits. Most ladies looked like cartoons with their m0nstrous color riot make ups.

I had no make up on but I knew I looked best.

Some people cluttered round with their arms entwined with the opposite s*x.

“Follow me. “He said and began walking amongst the crowd.

I followed him like he asked.

The hall was lit and a huge chandelier lights hung very high on the ceiling. Its light was bright and colorful and it looked very expensive.

Richard  walked ahead and stood by the assortment table. There was alot of wine, fruit bars, stakes and other delectable snacks.

Richard  took two glasses of wine and handed one to me.

“Thanks… “I muttered and emptied the content in my mouth.

Richard  scoffed softly before sipping his wine.

“Richard . “Someone said from behind and we turned.

It was a lady with long afro hair and silver eyes. She had a dashing smile.

“Richard , what is it with you and women? I thought you and Rose are together now. “She said to Richard  but then she looked at me.

“No offence. “She mumbled.

I smiled dryly.

“Stop poking your nose around peoples business loveth. “Richard said and took my hand into his.

“Hi cup cake. “I heard from behind and turned.

It was a blonde guy that looked pretty hit though.

He wore a red suit and had that killer smile. Just that smile made me rate him better than Richard .

“How you doing? “He asked sed.uctively.

I was forced to smile.

“Am great, thanks. “I muttered.

“In for a drink or two? “The guy asked.

I felt a hard squeeze on my palm… It was Richard . But he wasn’t looking at me.

“As you can see, Am with someone. “I said just to please Richard .

If it was just me, I would surely go with him and capture all sides of his handsomeness.

“Someone? I don’t see anyone… Or are you referring to this guy. He’s a big time playboy and can’t keep a girl. “The guy said.

I hated every part of what he said.

“If you’re so righteous and keeps a girl better, where’s your girl? You’re rather here looking for an expensive p***y to take home… Or wait, you don’t have a home, you live in the sewers. Maybe you can afford a hotel.. Pathetic. “Richard lashed out.

I was short of words. The insult was lengthy and pretty offensive.

The guy clenched his fist and was about to say something..

Suddenly, we heard a young lady scream.

Our attention drifted to the scene. A young lady in a fine long gown stood startled. She was staring at a little girl in fright.

The girl wore rags and looked unkept.

“She.. She crawled outta the table! “The lady yelled.

The woman standing with us frowned. She approached the young girl. Everyone couldn’t stop staring.

“You little dem0n! How did you get in here?!! “She yelled at the girl. “You came here to ruin my party you nit wit. ”

I turned to Richard .

“Do something Richard.. “I muttered.

“No. Let’s go. “He said and took my hand and dragged me out of the hotel.

We got into the car and he began driving.

“Why is it that you don’t like defending the helpless? “I asked him.

He clicked his tongue.

He focused on his driving ignoring me completely.

I chuckled.

“Are you offended with what that lady said about your love life? “I asked.

He scoffed.

“That shouldn’t concern you. “He said.

We arrived at the house some minutes later

Everywhere was dark even the streetlights.. What’s happening??

We alit and entered the mansion. There was a huge flashlight kept on the table in the living room.

The maids sat on the couch. Even two security men. They all stood up on seeing us.

“Thank goodness you’re here boss. We had a black out in the whole mansion. But we’re getting it fixed now. "Ruth said.

Richard sighed and walked in fully. He took off his jacket and hung it on the chair.

“Sit! “he said to the maids and guards and they sat.

“Come here Amanda… “He instructed and I walked to him.

He pulled me to Sit and I did. He motioned for me to turn and I did… Soon, I felt his soft hands touch my z!pper and he drew it down slowly.
