Rich Love Nine
The Q was located in the business district of Lancaster, right in the middle of the city center. It towered up to the 77th floor, the highest building in the city and the largest hotel in the country. It used to be known as The Quotidian where most businessmen and women owned a suite there and used them as a second home so it was easier to commute around the area in their busy daily life and work.It was solely owned by the Love Dynasty, along with dozens of other luxurious hotels in the world. There’s no telling what businesses were owned by the dynasty because they owned either a small portion, half, or the entire share of the businesses all over Lancaster. And by dynasty, it was under one prominent name, Richard Gabriel Love.RGL logo was plastered on the helipad on the 77th floor of the building, it was also plated in gold on the sign leading up to the 76th floor. It was a long way up, she had to get clearance to use the elevator, not to mention three security check stops along th

The suspense was killing her. She thought the meeting was going to be over soon without having to revisit that night. But who was she kidding, it was the very reason why she was sitting in that oversized luxurious office in the first place.“Okay … let’s just cut to the chase … let’s just get rid of the elephant in the room once and for all,” she got it out of her chest.Gabriel sat back on his chair, and crossed his leg over to the other, he seemed relaxed. “Do you know there are 5 women in Lancaster named Margot Simmins?”A question she didn’t need to answer.“Well … I do … because I’ve checked each and every one of them and none of them were you.” He took a deep breath, “That wasn’t very nice of you to lie to me like that.”“To be fair … you knew it was just a one-time thing, we were not supposed to meet again after that,” she was defensive.“And yet … here we are … and no … I didn’t know it was supposed to be a one-time thing, you seduced me into having sex with you in that God aw

“What the hell was that?” Jamie told Perry about her awkward meeting. “I mean … what the hell? Was it harassment? Was he mocking me? He was upset that I lied about my name and accused me of luring him into some kind of a sex trap … and then he had the audacity to offer me ‘assistance’ for … and he refers to it as a biological urge cycle in a mating season! Who does that??” she paced up and down the living room.Perry held his amusement after listening to the whole story. “He’s a single 44-year-old billionaire, good looking … very … I might add … and single … have I mentioned that already? Even if he’s not a billionaire it would be weird for someone like him to be single … I’m sure his strangeness had a lot to do with that,” her judgemental hat was talking.“I mean … Can you believe that a guy like that had never had a ‘no-strings-attached’ sexual intercourse? Can you? I can’t … he knew his way around the bed, I can assure you that … he probably had sex slaves tied up somewhere in his
Rich Love Twelve
Jamie Knox hated working in an office, she tried it once when she graduated from the University and it almost gave her a mental breakdown. She came home crying every day after a 9 to 5 job as a Public Relation Officer at her father’s company and was laughed at by her family because they thought she was being a princess.She grew up privileged even though she didn’t ask for it, and she was always told to be grateful because of how easy her life was. She was never ungrateful, it’s just not the life she preferred and her family didn’t know the difference.She held onto the job for two months before she quit cold turkey on it. She took up online courses to develop her writing skills and started taking freelance jobs to do small campaigns and PR work for small businesses.In a couple of years, she managed to compile quite a variable portfolio and her dad offered her another chance to do PR work for his companies. She gave it another try. That was when she learned the dark side of the busin

One week after the meeting, Jamie was halfway finished preparing everything she needed before leaving for Bhorma for a year. She finished all her pending work in the city and informed all her ongoing clients that she will be residing on the island of Bhorma.Work wasn’t going to be an issue because she’d been doing most of it long distance or from home. She handed over pending events to Perry to handle all the operational details on location.She had renewed her passport for another 5 years because it was required before she started working. She organized her bank accounts to automatically debited her account for all her monthly payments in Lancaster, and all other tedious details she didn’t really enjoy.“Ooh … do you think I’m doing the right thing? It already feels like a commitment and I’m starting to doubt if it’s even worth it?” she sighed.“Of course, it’s worth it, think of how many turtles you can save through this program and how much more you can do with the facilities he’s

Being in a car like that reminded her of the days when she was married to Eduard. There was a set of alcoholic beverages, complete with crystal glasses, if she pushed out the middle compartment, she was sure she would find an ice dispenser.The screen in front of her was the internal cinema experience, the speakers planted in the corners of the interior would be the surround sound if she decided to watch a movie or listen to music of her choice.It’s always nice to enjoy luxury, she just didn’t enjoy the things that came along with it. Especially the fake people, with fake love, fake smiles, and leeches that posed as friends. Somehow, she understood Gabriel’s strange behavior and lack of trust. He too must’ve gone through a lot worse than she ever did.“Jamie?” a deep soothing voice came from the speakers and pulled her out of her daydream.She had been in the car for almost 20 minutes. “Gabriel?” she looked around, not sure what she was looking for. “Yes … I’m sorry to interrupt … h

He threw himself on the tall chair across from her, she could smell a hint of his perfume.“Well … Jamie … as we discussed earlier, there are some papers I need you to sign,” he took out a folder from his drawer and pushed it toward her. “Since you will be working in my close circle, there will be a lot of information I need to keep to yourself in regards to my company, its operation, and of course my private information.”She took the folder and opened it, “By private information, are there any specifics?”He sighed, “Let’s just say … you are not allowed to talk about me, my company, and how it operates … even with Perry.”She skimmed through the agreement, “Hmm … Perry … so you have him checked too? What else do you know about me and Perry?”“Everything there is to know,” he answered simply with a faint smile. “I always check the backgrounds of everyone I will be working with, including the people they are closely associated with, no offense … information is a currency Jamie, that’s

Get to know each other. What the hell did he mean by that? He practically had her whole life history printed out on paper and read them all overnight. He already knew more than she did, he knew about Eduard. What else could he possibly want to know more about? And what for?And that offer of fulfilling sexual needs? What the hell is wrong with that guy? Is it some kind of strategy to get her to bed without making it look like harassment? Not that she was even thinking about sleeping with him again at that point. As handsome as he was, Gabriel Love was as weird as it gets.Maybe all that money and power had gotten into his head for too long. She knew how controlling billionaires can get, she was raised by one, and married one too. And now she’s dealing with another one who was going to invest in her good cause. Her stomach clenched as she processed the thought of letting another billionaire control her life once more.“Fuck!” she muttered to herself. After all her roller coaster of run

Rich Love Fifty One
She started to understand why Gabriel was the way he was. All those confidentiality agreements, how he kept his private life tight shut from the public, why he was so paranoid about people knowing details about his life. From a single picture of his ‘pregnant date’ on a magazine spread, someone had already plotted to kidnap the unborn child. It was dangerous to be that rich. No wonder he was so isolated from the world and lost his trust in people. It took almost a month for his wound to heal and then they were back in Bhorma. She wanted to be with her turtles, collecting eggs, caring for her hatchlings, and releasing batch after batch of her babies. Most of all, she was ready to visit her baby’s grave. She left flowers on her tomb and wondered how different things would’ve been if her baby was with her at the time of her kidnapping. Bhorma became her second home because that’s where her baby was. “Do you remember what you said to me before you fainted in the car?” She brought up

He woke up to find himself in the waiting room. He was tired from the adrenaline rush and fell asleep while he waited. Gerrick Finlay approached him, Gabriel’s lawyer had been the busiest man in the city after the incident. He briefed Perry on the urgency to keep all information under wraps. The case has been taken over by the police and everyone involved will be signed under a confidentiality agreement. Perry didn’t care about any of that, he just wanted to know what was going on with Jamie and Gabriel. “They’re okay … Gabriel had undergone surgery, he survived the critical phase … the bullet had been taken out of his body and given to the police for ballistic evidence … he’s still under anesthesia in the ICU and Jamie …” Gerrick smiled, “She insisted to stay in there with him … we had to get a special clearance for her to be there … she’s fine too.” Perry let out an exhale, “Thank you … I’ll just wait for her here.”********** Jamie sat on the chair beside his bed. The doctor ha

A shot was fired. It startled everyone outside. Melvin’s first reaction was to punch one of the guards in the face and took over his gun. The other man pulled his gun from the back of his pants but Melvin was too fast for him. He shot the second man in the leg and arm and took his gun too. A second gunshot was fired. Jamie went into the room, she got down on the floor to avoid a stray bullet. She looked for Gabriel, he was not far from the door, he was on the floor. She saw Eddie still with a gun in his hand, he too was on the floor near the armchair where she had sat. “Eddie! Did you shoot him?” was the first thing that came out of her mouth. “Gabriel!” she shouted in panic. His shirt and jacket were stained with quite a significant amount of blood, but he was conscious. He sat up and checked on his wound. His left abdomen was bleeding. “Are you fucking crazy? What the hell did you do?” she screamed at Eddie. “Come on we have to get you to the hospital,” she looped her arm around

“Gabriel … what are you doing here?” she couldn’t figure out whether she was glad to see him or was she more nervous that he was in the room with Eddie holding a gun.Eddie grabbed her and wrapped his arm around her neck and he pointed the gun at her head. “Yeah, Asshole … what are you doing here?” He was calm, even though he too had a gun pointed at his head by one of Eddie’s men. “I believe we have an unfinished business, Eddie … I’m here to settle it … man to man,” he focused his attention on Eddie now. “Why don’t you just let her go so we can talk privately … I’m unarmed … those fine gentlemen have searched me … if you could tell him to leave us alone … I’m all yours,” he offered. Eddie scoffed, “You’re such a cocky son of a bitch … What makes you think you can come here and tell me what to do? I have the upper hand here … you see this gun?” he waved the gun and pointed it back to Jamie’s head. “I’m not afraid to use it … I can make a hole right through her head, right here, rig

She looked at the barrel of the gun in horror, she laid back on the chair and raised both hands in front of her. There was no way of telling what he was going to do next. If he was going to shoot her, all she could do was stall him while she figured out a way to escape her situation. “Eddie … please, calm down, can you just tell me what’s going on? I promise I will try my best to help you,” she said calmly. “You had your chance to help me when I first came to you, Jamie! But did you? Huh?” he stood up still pointing the gun at her. “I’m sorry … I’m sorry … I couldn’t help you then, there was no way I could’ve helped you then, I didn’t know anything about the tapes … but I will try and help you now … if you tell me what the problem is,” she crouched on the armchair looking away from the gun that was so close to her face. Eddie started to pace back and forth, swinging his gun every which way. “He promised not to leak my video … he lied!” he screamed at her. Oh my God, she muttered

Jamie looked over her shoulder, the black car was there. After what Gabriel said, the car that gave her a sense of protection now felt like a threat. Her heart raced. “Are you sure they’re not your men?” “Men? There are multiple people inside? You can see them?” She started to pick up her pace as the car moved forward following her footsteps. “No … the windows are pitch black.” She glanced back at the car, “I think they know something’s up,” she said and ran faster. Her mind told her to run as fast as she could to a public area, but the commercial area is 5 minutes away. Then she heard a car door slam, and another, and another. Her earphones fell off from her running, she didn’t have time to put them back on. “They’re chasing me, Gabriel …” She tried to take a glimpse of the men who were running after her, but she didn’t recognize any of them. Three men in black suits and sunglasses were right on her tail. She looked around, there was no one else but her. Her constant looking

“Do you think he really has a torture chamber in his basement? To be fair, I’ve never really explored his house, and it’s huge,” Jamie asked Perry when she was back home. Perry laughed it off, “Pfft … come one, Gabriel? My guess would be a dungeon where he keeps his Pegasus or a cave at best, you know … where he stores all his high tech shit for doomsday prepper.” They laughed. “But honestly, Perry … I don’t really know him that well, the times we spent together were amazing, but he never really opened up to me … it felt like he’s incapable of doing that, he didn’t stop me from leaving, even though I wanted him to, maybe he didn’t want me to stay … not really?” Perry leaned closer to her on the sofa, “It seems like he knows you better than you know him … you’re taking this break to figure yourself out and you should … I think Gabriel is a very intimidating figure because of who he is, it made you feel that distance, but everytime I see the two of you together, all I can see are tw
Rich Love Forty Four
Two weeks after her miscarriage, she packed her suitcase. She put in all her maternity clothes she bought in Bhorma, she was taking them home to keep in her closet. She couldn’t bear to look at them anymore, at least for a while. She leftt most of her summer outfit in the hotel’s wardrobe, she will be back in a month or so. She looked into the mirror after she showered, and really looked for the first time. Her breasts, they weren’t round anymore. Her belly was getting back into its normal size, but not quite yet. The small incision from the C-section was visible, it was almost completely healed. Stretch marks, like footprints of what had been in her swollen belly. Soon enough, her body will get back to the way it used to look, except for the stretch marks. She put on her robe, tied the knot and walked out from the bathroom. Gabriel was standing over her suitcases, he came in from the internal elevator. She wasn’t sure what he was doing there. “You’re leaving tomorrow?” his hands w

It felt like all the lights in her world had been turned off, everything was dark. The baby blues hit hard. She curled up on her bed at the hotel for days. Everything hurts. Her soul ached and nothing can make her feel better. Her breasts were leaking milk, her whole body swollen, the wound from the C-section was painful but there was no baby. The worst thing was there was no explanation to why it had happened, one minute it was there, healthy and fine, the next it was gone. One minute they were planning to welcome a new person into their lives, the next was a funeral. She didn’t want to be there. She didn’t want to bury a tiny casket with her child in it. What was once growing inside her body was going to rot in the ground. Gabriel and Perry took care of the arrangement and said their goodbyes to tiny baby Kendall Patricia Love, the name they put on the tombstone. “Can you stay here for awhile? She needs the both of us here … and to tell you the truth, it’s hard for me too …” Ga
