THE HILL'S MANSION_Richmond's POV_"Mom... I'll get a wife for you so keep a low profile". I said coming out of her room as she followed me.She had pretended to be sick so I'll come visting but I know all her tactics, that's what she uses,I mean her charm to make me come see her."Son...when will that happen? You're my only son, I'm aging already and I'll soon die-""Mom...no body is dying okay...and if you die,we have the best family doctors that will resurrect you so please.. stop , I'll bring her tomorrow". I said without thinking. Then I thought for a minute,OMG....who am I deceiving.. Mom's gonna kill me once she finds out I'm kidding.....wait a minute, Jeanne.... that's right, she's the one" ."Mom...I need to go now, right Ann? I faced my PA who was seated on the couch drinking coffee. I know the reason why Mom insists I brought Ann along whenever I'm coming home to visit her."Yes sir... your next meeting is with the Birchwood Magazines by 10am" . She smiled glancing through her tablet.Ann is very beautiful,I mean really beautiful and she comes from a good background, we're kinda close a bit,she knows everything about me and most importantly that I can't date her. She's way out of my league. If I go out with her,then that's for primary purpose... I'll do the usual and sack her. But she has been my best PA so far ,she never admires me at all, unlike the other PA'S they made advances at me... that's how handsome I am."Hello...Ann".Mom said, ignoring me as she moved over to Ann giving her a big hug, that's unusual with all of my PA'S . Mom has taken a special likeness for Ann and she wants me to marry her ,but that can only happen in her dream."Hi...Mrs Hill... thanks for the coffee, I'll take my leave now ma'am ". She said politely. She's always so polite as she headed towards the car,which was parked outside with my driver in it."She's beautiful....I know". I said, interrupting Mom's words as she looked back. I knew she was gonna say that ,with that look ,it is boldly written on her face and that smile playing on her lips....I know that smile."She's the perfect match , Richmond". She smiled holding my arms, that's the only height she reached ,arms length ."Mom...cut the crap....Ann is my PA, besides she's like a sister to me,my younger sister for crying out loud". I groaned and adjusted my tie."Son...I didn't give birth to any other child other than you so stop claiming her to be your sister at all....". She shouted flinging her small shoulders in the air which made me laugh."Richmond Hill.. it's not funny" . She grunted and sat on the chair."Mom... don't worry,if you'd stop disturbing me about that talk.. I'll bring a wife soon" . I bent down and kissed her forehead and bidded her goodbye as I moved out, I blew her a kiss again as she frowned ."Ann....let's go". I said to her as we both entered my car ,my driver was in it before so we zoomed off to Birchwood Magazines... headed by Rita Birchwood. Rita Birchwood,a very beautiful and elegant model,a mother of two and a divorcee. She maintains her beautiful self despite what happened to her,I can't marry nor date her,her husband had already opened the cover so there's nothing more to look at. We even went to the same primary school and she was this poor pauper then, she just rose up and became a model who got married and had two kids.How can she be so gullible to get married and make useless commitments? I scoffed .That commitment made her husband cheat on her and she divorced him, taking her kids with her,she actually threw him out of her house and moved on. Everyone knows the story .At last,we got there. _-BIRCHWOOD MAGAZINES-_That was the bold inscription that welcomed us first. Truth be told, that is one big metallic office. It is covered in silver metals and glass.I alighted from the car with my secretary . I had four securities with me. They came down too as they surrounded I and Ann and few others from my office."OMG...!!! He's so cute"."I'll get him to sign this...""Richmond Hill. I'm in love with you""Our little god"They all squealed as my securities obstructed them from touching me.I decided to stop and sign whatever they wanted me to sign. Celebrities stuff!A lady came over to me screaming my name,with half opened breast."Sign on this place... it's all yours if you want it" . She smiled giving me that seducing look every lady possess. I collected the pen from her and wrote my name on her half opened breast ."OMG....he just signed on my breast". She ran off like a mad woman. I shaked my head as I watched her leave amidst the crowd."Richmond Hill.. we love you". They screamed."I love you all too....I said and took my handkerchief as I threw it to them. They were like hungry lions as they rolled on the floor fighting over my handkerchief.I laughed and entered the company as Rita's workers welcomed me warmly and I responded by giving them that warm smile that melts their hearts. They all drooled I even heard one of them say."He's so cute that I wish he was gay"."WTF...gay? That's the last thing I'll ever do..I gave him a mean look he only smiled at me. Then I heard a familiar voice ."Hello... Richmond, it's been a while". The voice which was feminine and familiar said.I looked back to behold the beautiful Rita. I stood there glancing at her as she gave me time smiling as well."Come over here lad...." She said hugging me tight."Hey.... Wow! Rita you look more prettier than the last time we met, during your wedding" . I said as she withdrew from the hug and we headed to her office with Ann and few others from my office while the securities stayed outside."Awwwn and you don't look bad either,you look more taller...." She laughed. And she was right,I was short and often bullied even though my Dad was rich ,but Rita was my angel in the darkest moments. She was way taller than I am and she was fat."Yeah. I know, don't start what you won't finish girl ". I said playfully wrapping my arms around her neck. She giggled and slapped my butt."You know I'm still permitted to do this right? She slapped it again as we both laughed."I hate you..". I cussed and removed my hand from her neck."Awwwn.....I love you little brother,now get your head over here now....I have another place to go to" . She said as she instructed her workers to do some stuffs .I dressed up and was looking stunning as usual. I took the pictures and I took some with her as well . She promised to hang it in front of her office and make all ladies drool.I left there some minutes later as I entered my car with the aid of the securities, because of the hungry crowd waiting to meet Richmond Hill."Phewww....that was close". I said as I entered the car giving Ann a hand to enter the car."What's my next appointment? I said glancing at my phone."The Global Magazines". Ann said glancing at my Tablet which she held firmly."Okay...I need to refreshen up, let's go to my hotel first". I said as we all headed to my hotel.News spread so fast ,It was already on social media and the internet that I visited Rita Birchwood. Some even made comments that something is between us. They would never change. And yes,the lady I signed on her breast also commented with a picture of her signed breast.Who cares anyways. That does not change the fact that I'm Richmond Hill.TBC 💐SIX_-"Global Magazines Company"-_Daphney's POV I got to the office a bit late. I exchanged pleasantries as usual,I looked so stunning in the black pencil gown I wore . I marched down to my desk smartly as my heels made sounds . I got to my table to see the usuals there."Awwwn....Drille won't cease to amaze me". I thought smiling to myself as I planned to seat on my chair I heard a familiar voice."Jeezzzz! This girl is here again....". I groaned gritting my teeth as she hugged me from behind. "Heyyyy....Bes". She squealed hugging me tight almost lifting me off my feet, thankfully she's short and plump .Anita had been my best friend right from college , she's one of the best thing that has ever happened to me. Sometimes she's a pain in the ass and sometimes she's with sense,I guess all besties are like that anyways . We graduated together and got to work in the same company. She's number one gist, she's always following the internet every seconds infact she's a number one fan
"Richmond's POV" When we got to my hotel , actually... it's a private hotel for my family and I. Dad spend most of his time there,same goes for Mom whenever she's less busy. I on the other hand rarely visit . We got there and my securities stayed outside while the attendants in the hotel paid due respect to me, I looked like the president son. I entered my special room and told Ann to take a break for a while and I'll call her when I needed her. I called my two best friends Charlie and Walter , they're my best advisors too. They came over as we went to the bar in the hotel. "Mom is so demanding...she still wants me to get married, she's bent on this marriage of a thing...and she said she would end everything I built ...what do I do? I lamented to them"Richy.... tho' we're not in support of marriage too...I mean,one has to flex ". Charlie chuckled trying to make jest of me a bit ."C'mon man... I'm serious here...I can't just go out and pick one babe even though they're head over
EIGHT"Ohh... Here comes the future wife of Richmond Hill" . Walter said winking at me. We all directed our attention towards the figure that walked towards us. Jeanne Ross, the beauty and pillar of our country. She's quite influential and worth taking risk for . She's beautiful and passionate about the welfare of other people, she doesn't like sharing her properties, things she cherish so much and that was why it couldn't work out between two celebrities. Richmond Hill and Jeanne Ross. "Yeah.. we'll excuse them first". Charlie added as he and Walter stood up ."Hi guys". She smiled cheerfully at Charlie and Walter."Hello Jeanne". Charlie greeted "The beauty goddess". Walter flattered her and she responded with her smile. I know that smile I snickered. She's up to something"Babe...!!!" I said standing up to hug her when she did what surprised everyone. It was one sound that made everywhere silent. They all looked towards I and Jeanne. I held my cheeks wincing in pain. This was th
NINE"Global Magazines Company" Richmond's POVWe got to the company it was more bigger than that of Rita's. We were welcomed warmly as my escorts marched out of the car. Some people were already outside raising placards with different signs. I immediately remembered the woman who told me to sign on her breast and Jeanne too. I love Jeanne,but now she's so mad at me,I can't bring myself to apologise to her. I'm Richmond Hill for crying out loud. There are lot of women who wants to be my wife so who the hell is Jeanne Ross. I can even have second thoughts about Ann. I looked at her. She's just so sweet and innocent,I can't tell if she likes me or not. But I'm too used to her, she's like a sister to me. I don't know how I will feel if I ask her out. Her voice brought me back to reality. She noticed I glanced at her and she smiled. "This way sir. .". She said as we entered the company. They welcomed us warmly and I didn't hesitate to give them that bright smile that got them drool
TENDrille is my boss's younger brother , Mr Kendrick McCoy ,and he has an eye for me. He is always asking me out for dinner and guess what I'm always turning the poor guy down. Who cares about any stupid dinner . He won't stop sending me love messages and sometimes flowers and yeah... he's the provider of the junks Anita eat or should I say steal from my table . Anita has a crush on him...not really a lovey dovey thing. She actually crushes on almost every handsome guy . "Hey...". He said in his husky voice as he placed his hand on my desk. I traced his fingers down to his muscular arms. He wore a tight fitted white and well starched shirt as he rolled it up to his sleeve making his muscles more visible. "Hi...Drille". I gave him my fakest smile. Drille is actually lucky I do talk to him. I don't tolerate nonsense from guys . But come to think of it. Drille is so cute with his black and beautiful skin. He smiled showing his set of white teeths."What's up...I heard you had a little
ELEVENMusic playingDAPHNEY'S POV I was about going to bed when my phone rang. I took it from my reading table when I noticed five missed calls. I heard it ringing while I was having my night bath but I resolved to calling the caller the next morning, I had a long and stressful day at work. I took the phone and saw Anita's number. "Why is she calling this night? I thought worriedly and was about dialing her number back when her call came through."Heyyyy....!!". She yelled from the phone and I had to put the phone miles away from my ears ."Are you crazy? Do you wanna block my ear drums? What's up with you? I said sitting on my bed."Girl, I've been trying your number for a while did you intentionally ignored my calls knowing the reason why I called? She flinched ."What? No, no, wait, why did you call? Did he break up with you already? I gasped."No, sheesh! There's a party tonight...!!!". She yelled again and I could feel the excitement coming from her voice."Oh, party? Good for
EPISODE TWELVE"I really feel uncomfortable in this stupid mini skirt you designed yourself". I said as we approached the door. "Hugh! Like you said, designed myself..it's beautiful I know you're so grateful that words failed you". She cackled. "Grateful? I feel stupid and little, lets just get done with this and come back home". I said locking the door and we both entered my car and zoomed off. ______****"I love this song..." Anita shouted on top her voice because the song was too loud and you can hardly hear someone's voice. She moved her body to the rhythm of the song as she was seated."I know right...." I shouted back . We sat at the counter drinking chilled beer , I wouldn't have gone but because of Anita...I had to go. She has the love for club and parties I don't know why but she has been like that eversince we were kids. I sat down playing my candy crush game and also sipping from my cup.Seriously, you've got to play that game. I have this excitement when I'm playing it
THIRTEEN"We're really sorry for this mess, kindly accept our apologies". I watched Anita plead on my behalf. I rested half of my butt on the bonnet of my car."Sorry? Sorry? Sorry cannot fix my broken nose at all, so we're going to the police station". He argued covering his nose with his palm."That must have been so painful,ouchhh". I smiled at myself for the achievement. Anita kept pleading on my behalf. "I'll pay your medical fees then". Anita quickly removed some cash from her bag and gave it to him. He collected it unappreciative and hissed. Anita turned back and glared at me. "What in heavens name is wrong with you? Why do you keep doing this stuff? Why? Why? Anita said as we drove home. She decided to drive thinking I was drunk for causing such a tantrum at the club . I didn't give her a reply I just fixed my gaze on my Candy crush game."Seriously...!" She said and snatched the phone from me."Bitch....give me my phone, don't let me lose my chances of winning pls" . I said
