Episode 3

Ria's POV

Words can't explain how I feels right now, I am just very angry, very angry that my client turned to be a psychopath..

One of the thing I hated so well was seeing someone falling in love or acting crazy for love, those sweet words of feelings sounds so much annoying to my ear, he just used it on me and got my slap, I even forgot he was Xavier's son.

Gosh!!

I pray he doesn't report to his father, I still values the relationship, he is one of that major buyer, I would also profit from his son if he opens his company branch here..

I got no time to talk with him all because of those annoying advance, can't believe he even tried touching my cheek, something no man except my dad had did..

I made a deep sigh before sitting down inside my office,

I opened up my laptop and began my regular examinations, I need to check the status of the sales, I need to check the activities of the workers in every department, I would also make sure no e***l message from customers is left unattended to..

        Ryan's POV..

"This is all I got!" I stated handing the few dollars to my mother who lay on the bed, in her ill state, she is diagnosed of kidney failure which had brought her down, some treatment had been made but a major surgery is required, well..that is my dream because right mid, I got nothing!!.. no money for the operation,

My name is Ryan, a nobody...

My dad is dead long ago, my mother is sick, I do all the work and fend for us, I'm her hope of survival but it seems I would fail her soon..

For years I had been indulged in series of job and works, I couldn't graduate from the university so having a good job seem so hard, being working hard labours, I help in building house and would be paid..

Right now, things are getting harder!

I can't find much to do, the few dollars was my last coin..

"I'm sorry son.." my mother's weak voice sounded as she saw how down I look.

My fear was coming closer as the day goes by, the fear of watching my mother suffer, the fear of not having anything doing to help..

I wish I would find anything that could earn me money, I don't mind how hard or stressful it is!!

I'm ready to face it all provided that my beloved mother doesn't lack anything!

"Let me get something for you to eat while I go in search for job!" I breathed and walked out..

I just pray today would be like other days when I go and come back without getting anything..

I stepped out of the smug house sighing deeply, looking around as the breeze slapped my cheek, I felt a cool warmth run through me, 

Slowly, I walked further with my palm fixed into my pockets, the thought of the past won't stop flashing through, it came like a dream but was reality, My dad was shot dead by an unknown gang who invaded our house..

They were sent to kill him, whoever sent those men was a mystery I can't solve, right now, I takes all the suffering!!

Walking further without knowing where I was heading to, I was too lost to think of that..

I got to a street garden and sat on the bench there watching the busy street and cars speeding past the road..

The rich and the poor are two people of different world, the poor are rejected, they has nothing to do with people like me, all I can do is admire their picture when I sees it..

Yes!!.. I've seen many of them especially the ladies all looking classic, wearing expensive jewel that could feed me for the rest of my life..

These are people who don't have to strain their self to get what to eat..

Mom is sick and can't be admitted to hospital because there isn't a dime left..

I raised my gaze and looked around, there were houses, there were people who got it all, I can see ladies driving cars...

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, my stomach grumbled in hunger and I could only sigh..

Just then, a car stopped by, music were jamming in it...

The door opened and groups of girls jumped out dancing as they screamed in jolly..

They looked so beautiful with those make up and jeweleries, their phones really made me drool..

I watched them for few seconds before bending my heads over my palm, I can't keep watching because it only cause more pain to me...

These are girls, why can't I....

Gosh!!!

I was still I thought when the girls scurried over to where I sat, I stared at them surprisedly..

"Hey, dude, can we get some money from you!!!..ready to give you a sweet rides!!!" one of them squealed and the others laughed..

i could only stare..

"Don't you get it??..5000 dollars and you got us all for a night!!" they chorused touching my trouser..

"Just get off me!!" I seethed and moved away from them, this got their laugh more higher..

"Oh, poor boy..he is so broke!!" one of them jeered and I felt my head spin..

"I heard his stomach grumble, who knows he hasn't eaten for months..."

"But he was staring at us lustily, with his empty pocket who would come near him!" another sneered leaving me in shame..

I glanced around and saw some people stare and chuckle, 

"Hey you girls, won't you stop being stupid!!" I swallowed hard as they laugh mockingly..

One of them flung a dollar note to me, 

"Go get something to eat!" they mocked and made fun..

I breathed and turn away leaving the money, can't believe I just did a mistake of coming here where the rich lives, I just left the slum and got myself here, now I was just insulted!!

Just as I made to rush back, something got my attention....

A magazine on the floor with a lady on the front page...

I bent and picked it, what I saw left my mouth agape, 

A very beautiful lady with a blonde hair, her face was like an angel, the hot lips, pointed nose, perfect jaw chubby cheeks, everything was just so perfect... I couldn't help but got stunned by her beauty...

My eyes refused to leave the image, I kept staring, the young girl look so rich and wealthy, I peered into the glistening eyes and it seemed to struck my heart...
