Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rick's Dilemma: Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

Rick returned to Robin's former office. He went to the safe to inventory it's contents. What he found was several exquisite diamond necklaces, diamond rings and several diamond bracelets. In addition, there were other parure sets in rubys, sapphires and emeralds. They would make a fine addition to the sets he had been collecting for his wife and daughters. The diamond set and the sapphires set would go to Debbie, while the ruby set to Ellie and the emeralds were destined for Ella. The cash totaled tens of millions in US dollars. It would take several suitcases to pack it all to take to the bank. Then he had another thought. All of the men on this trip had run a great risk in coming along. Although Matthew was not in any real danger, he did have that idea to look at the banking side of the Westhouse matter. So Rick decided to divide the money between them all. That meant that each one would recieve just over fifteen million in cash. It was a lot of money, but for the loyalty and dev

So now they had landed in Cairo. It brought back pleasant memories for Rick, Matthew and Brandon from the last time that they were here. They, along with Debbie, had toured the immediate area, and had seen some amazing things. They had made memories together that they each would carry with them for the rest of their lives. They were going to stay in the same hotel as last time, since Anita was still accommodated there as well. They were only going to be there one or two nights. Old Wilson wanted to be sure the new Managing Director was settled in, and that Anita could leave with the sense of a job well done. They all went out to dinner after Anita got back from the office. She was surprised to see them all lounging around the hotel lobby waiting for her. The one that she was really happy to see above the others was General Han. As soon as their eyes met, they both knew that they belonged together. The general had a question to ask Anita, but now was not the time. He decided

Rick's next stop was to pay a visit to Larry Watters at the Creative Renovations office in the RBG LLC Tower downtown. When he was shown into Larry's office, they greeted each other warmly. Rick then said "Larry, I have a project for you. I want to build a room size vault in Ting Gap. Recently, Debbie and I have acquired a lot of expensive jewels. Some of it is being kept for my daughters, and the rest is for Debbie. But in total, there are several billion dollars worth of pieces and I want to keep them safe. The room needs to be fire proof as well as secure. Can you do it?" Larry replied "That's a piece of cake. The only issue is, where do you want this room located and what kind of door do you want. Will it have a secret lock or combination to it, or do you want to use keys? There is also the option to use a finger print lock or even a facial recognition system." Rick was astonished that there were so many options. He said "Well, whatever you think will be the most secure

The day of Debbie's birthday arrived. It was a beautiful early summer day, with blue skies and no rain in the forecast. Rick was excited to get the day started. He had thought of a few surprises along the way to the build up of tonight's party. To start, he had gotten each child a gift for their mother. Of course they had no idea what was so special about this day, as they were too young to understand. But Rick wanted Debbie to share this day with them as well. The gifts from the boys were some simple scarves that Rick had found in Cairo. The girls gave her some handmade soaps from Kenya. Debbie was delighted with them all. Next came Breakfast, Rick and Matthew had a talk earlier. Matthew had asked Rick when he planned to present Debbie with her necklace. Rick was curiuos to know why Matthew wanted to know. Matthew finally had to confess the reason. "Well, after you left us after buying the necklace in Cairo, you went back to the hotel. We returned to the jewelry shop and bough

It had been the most amazing birthday that Debbie had ever had. She was so proud of her husband and her friends, Matthew and Brandon, who had organised the whole affair. From the food to the surprise concert, she could not have been happier. The next day, she woke up with the feeling of being the most loved woman in the world! She rolled over to find Rick staring at her. He said "Do you know that you smile in your sleep?" Then he kissed her on her forehead before getting up to go shower and begin his day. Debbie yawned and strecthed before sitting up. It was the weekend, and she had guests in the house. She would have to entertain them before they were off to their respective homes. She had planned a brunch for them before they went home. Chef Matthew had an idea, and she let him have his way. He always had something facinating to offer. The guests had started to stir as well. They came out to the pool area to chit chat with everyone and await their breakfast. Chef Matthew
