Deciding to pursue the ‘solar high tech’ business proposal, the next morning Richie decided to meet up with a new company that worked in the line of business with Alexis, his PA. When his car came to a stop infront of the company, he spotted a red sports car that he could swear, looked exactly like Gordon’s. “Your mind is running places, Richie”. He chided himself. “Anyone can have that same type of car”. As he tried to move his gaze away from the car, he couldn’t help but notice the plate number as he cursed softly. There was no denying it. That was Gordons car, alright. Richie heaved a heavy sigh as he started to dwell in numerous contemplations and seeing just how his mood had changed instantly, Alexis probed him further. “Are you alright, sir?”. Deciding not to let his hatred towards Gordons get the best of him, he decided to lift up his mood by turning to face Alexis, flashing her his best smile. “Do you have anything to say? Like maybe a funny joke you’ve heard of before or
On hearing Richie’s words, a wide grin spread across Kate’s face as she couldn’t hide her excitement. “Really?”“Yes”“Thank you”. Shs said gripping his hands in-between hers. She was so overwhelmed as filled with lots of emotions right now as she couldn’t remember the last time she’d been outside. She stilled as the memory started to flood in slowly. The moment John had taken her outside, to help her escape at the cost of his life. She shook her head as she decided to focus on the present. “Thank you very much. I apologize if I’ve been a bad girl.” She continued. “By the way, did something happen to you of recent?”Richie looked away from her worired that his worries had shown. “What do you mean by that?”“I mean, I’ve noticed how cool yoyve been acting lately”. “So is that why you think something is wrong with me?”. Richie questioned partly hurt and relieved at the same that that his worried hadn’t displayed on his face. “I can’t believe this is what I get in return for being nic
Kate bit down on her lips trying to suppress her moans as Richie’s hands twirled round her pussy. She was sure as hell that she was having a wet dream but even with that, she could bring herself to moan out loud because if she did remember correctly, she’d slept in Richie’s room and tha only meant that he was around her. Kate’s toes curled up In a ball as she heard Richie’s groan, his fingers sliding through the walls of her hymen as she finally let out a soft moan. Kate tried to remind herself over and over again not to enjoy this. She tried to channel back all the hatred she felt towards Richie in her mind but still with that, there was denying she was enjoying this. Kate felt hot tears form at the back of her eyes as she tried to remember when last she’d been tired passionately like this. Everytime it was either Richie was touching her violently or the other. She’d missed this. Although she couldn’t remeneber when last she’d felt soft gently touches as this upon her skin.
The following morning, Kate woke up feeling better than ever. Maybe it was because the sex she’d had last night was different from any other and was something she’d always wanted to experience.Seeing Richie still fast asleep on the bed beside her, she slowly stood up without making a noise as she headed to the bathroom to shower. As the water ran down her skin, her mind slid back to John, that happy soul who had risked it all to help her escape and had become her confidant just like fluffy.It’s been two weeks since he’d died and Kate still blamed herself for his death. If only, he hadn’t seen her try to jump out of her window. If only she had waited until John had left the house before she’d made an attempt to escape. Then, he would still be alive. Thinking of the times they’d spent together at the Adrian’s secret game room, tears she hadn’t noticed rolled down her cheeks, falling freely as she couldn’t bring herself to a stop. When she heard footsteps approaching closer towards
CHAPTER 33Very early the following morning, Kate noticed Richie leave the bed slowly, trying not to wake her up, thinking she was sleeping, but she still did. It was even at that moment he’d woken up that Kate was about to fall asleep because it be honest, she couldn’t sleep all night thinking Richie would do something to her like last night. She was still angry with herself on how she’d given in so easily to her desires that night. But now, back to the present, Kate couldn’t fall asleep because she’d mistakenly overhead Richie’s conversation on the phone. “What do you mean, you can’t do it!?” Richie snarled angrily. While, she’d probed her ears further to understand Richie’s conversation, he’d then remainined silent, listening to the the receiver. “Look, get it for me by whatever means necessary. I need it!”.And with that said, he hung up before joining her back on the bed. Richie placed a soft kiss on her forehead, thinking she was still asleep as he turned around, heading to
It's been days but Richie still felt guilty for what he did back there at Gordon's club. The idea of having something to do with other girls who weren't Kate iriked him but it also made him horny at the same time. Richie was at the office so he had to stay well and ensure no one saw that changes in his mood and whatnot. While working alongside Jane, he noticed how she would try to make flirting passes at him and touch him. Damn, the lady was even bold enough at most cases to bring him out and kiss him like couple of kids who just started dating and what iriked him the most in all this was that he didn't make attempts to stop her. No!. He was actually rude enough to ignore it all just let her be. Looking for a form of self restraint deep within him, after work, Richie told Jane that he had to call it a day and with that that said, he made his way home. When home, he looked around the house tired when Mariam came to greet him. "Welcome, sir" "Thank you. Where's Kate?" "The y
Settling on what to wear, Kate decided to pretend as if she didn’t notice Richie walk in. She pretends to be scared when he wrapped his arms around her waist as he placed a soft kiss at the nape of neck. But meanwhile she wasn't scared. Rather, she liked it. Richie backed away from her to push back the curls of her hair behind her ears. "We would be going out to get your favourite ice cream today". "Can I go alone?" Kate asked. Seeing Richie's expression darken immediately and sensing that he was angry, she apologized. "I'm sorry. I was just hoping for some alone time and you did promise to do it for me one day so I was thinking 'why not now'?" Richie sifted his hands through his hair, clearly annoyed that despite all his efforts to keep her safe this was all she could ever think of. "Let's not forget that Gordons is still out looking for you. Your death isn't really something to joke about and anything can happen" Kate tilted her head to the side, partly confused. He'd just s
Coming to realize just how much Richie loves her, Kate began to get confused. Although she'd slept last night with him and they even had sex, the memories of their love making made her slide her hands under skirt and through her red lace as she slid her fingers deep inside her wet pussy, beginning to masturbate. Something she never thought she'd be capable of doing and just then as she was wallowing in pleasure, Mariam walked into her room, catching her off guard. "I apologize. I knocked fervently but got no response". Mariam said looking away as Kate wallowed in a moment of embarrassment. Given the tensed up awkward moment between them, Mariam decided to laugh it off."I came because lord Richie said I should inquire if you are good in the kitchen as be would be down soon" "I see.."Kate responded awkwardly. "Anyways, shall I go prepare your bath?" "Please do". Kate responded as she watched Mariam disappear into the bathroom. When the bath was all ready, Mariam called Kate t
Days later…(Taormina, Sicily)“Please be quick about it..” Kate said to the hotel receptionist and quickly dropped the phone almost as soon as Richie waltzed out of the bathroom looking as though he was running an ad for a modeling agency.He looked so handsome in his bathrobe and had droplets of water on his hair and face which only made him look more breathtaking to Kate; and she couldn’t help but thank her stars for allowing her to get to meet someone as perfect as him.He was the perfect depiction of her childhood dream man; and sometimes she feared that he was just too good for her.Their eyes locked and held; and for a moment they were so enthralled by each other that nothing else mattered anymore.Not even the fact that they were clad in nothing but their birthday suit. Richie winked at her, making her blush fiercely.After a long while of comfortable silence, Kate let out a long sigh and screamed excitedly;“I still can’t believe that I’m right here in Atlantis bay! My dream
Chapter 91Kate“Stay back!” Jane growled fiercely but Kate couldn’t exactly say if she was yelling at her or at Richie.Her body shook with fear as she stared at the black metallic object clasped in Jane’s hands but she didn’t show her fear; She couldn’t bring herself to because she knew that that was exactly what people like Jane thrived on.She couldn’t give her that satisfaction.Before she came here, she had braced herself for the absolute worst; had expected Jane to pull a stunt like this from the very beginning that now it no longer surprised her.All she wanted right now was to get out of this situation unscathed. She didn’t care how she intended to do that but knew that that was her only aim.Ashley had told her that a thing like this would happen; had warned her and thankfully she had listened.At first she didn’t want to be scared but when she looked into Jane’s eyes, and saw the crazed maniacal look in them, her fear only intensified.This witch was crazy enough to do anyt
Richie.Richie wanted to snap. He was pissed at everyone’s overly bubbly attitude today and was beginning to wonder if the day was his or theirs.He couldn’t really say that the day was his though because he was practically being forced…more like threatened to do this.He still couldn’t comprehend why his grandfather would present him with a decision as difficult as this for his own personal interest, and it made him mad.The brightly lit air conditioned room still felt unbearably hot for Richie as he yanked uncomfortably at his necktie and glared against the high fluorescent lights that seemed to want to blind him.He didn’t care that his discomfort was being let out in the open and that the press could make a fuss out of it later, all he cared about was getting done with this accursed wedding ceremony and being back to the confines of his room.He drowned out the loud cheerful noises around him, wondering to himself why these people seemed a lot more happy that he was getting marrie
Richie.“Try it again and again.” The male voice from the tv spoke loudly but to Richie it felt like he was being spoken to.He loosened his tie, copying the gestures of the young magician on the screen and began mimicking the man’s actions.A few minutes went past, and after a while of copying the magician’s actions Richie decided to stop. It was no longer fun to him; in fact nothing felt like fun anymore.The world felt like it was spinning in circles, and to Richie everything was in a flux. He couldn’t say exactly what stand his life held right now or what its meaning was but knew he was simply going with the flow that came.Pressing the bottle of liquor to his lips, Richie took a big gulp and winced when the fiery liquid burned its way from the back of his throat down to his chest.He loved the feeling though, but the aftermath was what he disliked.He hated how it usually made him feel crappy and how his fingers shook like that of an epileptic person whenever he took it excessive
Richie‘Wait, something didn’t feel right.’ Richie thought to himself as he sat unmoving on the large red sofa he had adored as a kid but now it held no significance to him, and all he could think about was how to get out of it and fast.Right in front of him sat Jane and his grandfather Phillip and Richie could do nothing but glare at the both of them as they went about chattering between each other like he wasn’t in the room.Jane’s loud giggles infuriated him, even the way she had suddenly changed her sitting position into some sort of lazy style while she rubbed continuously on her flattened stomach.On a normal day, he would’ve sent her out of the house but this was his grandfather’s and not his… he had no right to do that here and that was her saving grace.“How aren’t you sure that this isn’t some sort of joke the same way you thought Kate had lied about being pregnant?” He snarled at his grandfather who seemed too enthralled with talking to Jane that nothing else mattered.To
RichieRichie staggered up the airy flight of stairs with only a bottle of chilled liquor clasped in his cold stiff hands.“One green bottle standing on the wall… one green bottle standing on the wall…” he sang drunkenly as he trudged upwards, absolutely oblivious to the shocked stares his workers threw at him as he walked past.Truth is, he didn’t even notice they were staring nor did he care if they actually did.He rubbed his hands again and again across his face to stop himself from falling asleep as he walked but that seemed as impossible as walking on eggshells and praying that it does not crack.His body suddenly shook with a kind of cold that he hadn’t experienced before but then he couldn’t quite explain if it was as a result of the weather or due to how cold he actually felt inside.He couldn’t bring himself to talk to anyone about how he truly felt…about how his dreams were constantly plagued with memories of Kate and how he felt he would go crazy soon if nothing was done a
Kate“How’s this even possible?” Kate mumbled very quietly under her breath after taking her first bite of the almost half cooked cheese sandwich which smelled way tastier than it actually tasted.Her taste buds which had previously been on overdrive immediately came to a rest and then she began to munch slowly on the food whilst fighting the urge to drop it in order not to offend Ashley.That would be bad.She couldn’t even bring herself to tell Ashley that she wasn’t such a good cook and that the food tasted bad, instead she ate on slowly and decided to strike a conversation with her.“I get the part where you always had people working for you and so you should always have them doing your biddings. Why then did you still learn to cook?” Kate asked whilst chewing.She grinned when Ashley frowned at her half opened mouth but wasn’t remorseful as she kept chewing absentmindedly on the offensive tasting sandwich.Ashley rolled her eyes; “I never learnt to cook pumpkin, and I know exact
KateHer eyelids were heavy, almost like they’d been previously sealed shut with a cement and then forcefully ripped open after it had gotten dry moments later due to indecision.Kate winced under the pain. It was a little too much and her body throbbed from it.She could feel her stomach twist painfully from it too but she didn’t care, all she wanted was to understand what she was doing here when only moments ago, she was at the back of Richie’s Rolls Royce…on her way to her wedding reception.She wanted to understand why anyone would decide to kidnap and beat her up when in fact, she could swear she hadn’t done anything to warrant such treatment from anyone.She was confused and at the same time shocked but was also scared because she was quite unsure about who was behind all these.What if it was Luxander… Or Ashley?Her eyes widened at the thoughts as her heartbeat accelerated. She prayed that It shouldn’t be any of those two because she knew of how crazy they could get and she di
RichieThe tie clung onto his neck like a choker but he didn’t notice it as his mind was somewhere else entirely.He yawned, rubbing at his heavy eyelids only to sit up in shock when he discovered that he was still inside his car since the previous night and that he was still clad in his wedding suit.His wedding suit…The suit that he had planned to take off the instant he was alone with Kate after their ending; the suit he no longer had the strength to take off his body because suddenly it felt like all of his dreams were already going up in smoke.…a thick choking smoke.He slowly trudged out of the car, walked all the way into the house, and stood hopefully in front of the large TV screen which only brought news of the exploded warehouse over and over again.He couldn’t believe that something this drastic could simply happen only a few hours to something he’d always dreamed of.It felt like a dream, a very terrible dream that he had still not woken up from and at the same time he
