, Richard said, clapping his hands together and laughing aloud as though what he said was funny. Carissa glanced at Ethan, who was throwing dead glares across to Richard. “Who is he?” She asked Ethan. “I’m his brother, Richard. Well, I just discovered that I’m his brother from another mother”, Richard quickly chimed out, beaming at Carissa who wore a massive scowl on her face. “I know who you are! You are the lady who he is going to use to ensure that his position here is not moved”, Richard said and broke into another round of laughter.

Richard had just arrived at the pool party the previous night when Ava went over to kiss someone, so he didn't get the chance to see that man's face. Meanwhile, Ava couldn’t believe her ears. What part of it's over did Richard not understand? She had dumped him for Christ's sake. As usual, the latter didn't think twice to use her when he needed her. Such a selfish prick. “Yes, I am!" Richard answered. "I have a Master’s in Software Engineering. I believe I can be of great help to you and your company. I’ve left several applications at your company, but I haven’t heard from-”

she asked, her expression carrying that of suspicion. Richard nodded, running his hands through his tousled black hair. He didn't look that old, but he wasn't that young either. He smiled at Samantha and she sighed. "I know, but I want you to trust me on this offer. My company is willing to invest heavily in your business," Richard continued, his smile unwavering. "We believe your innovative designs and commitment to sustainable energy align perfectly with our vision for the future."

Just then, the door flew open and a guy came rushing in, looking around wildly. “Oh, man,” Red said. “Get ready for the drama.” Jax got to his feet. “That’s him?” “Richard. Yeah.” “Be right back, doll.” She nodded. “Good luck.” “It’s my place, Red. Luck I don’t need.” **** Sarah Matthews watched the drop-dead-sexy guy walk across the room to Richard. Her eyes lingered on the guy’s back and shoulders with appreciation; the man had tight, huge muscles over his entire body, she could tell. He was tall and strapping and holy Lord, was he ever gorgeous, in a smoldering, dangerous kind of way. His black hair was a bit messy, and her fingers itched to smooth it down, lay it flat.

Mateo raised his glass and toasted Richard. "After seeing how bravely you drove those thugs away, my impression of you had completely changed. "And you learned everything so quickly. No matter what it was, you always managed to do it better than anyone else. "I came from a small fishing village and didn't have much experience with the world. I've never met anyone more capable than you." Mateo continued enthusiastically, recounting Richard's heroic deeds. Victoria cooperated as well, showing surprise and admiration as she praised him.

Intentional or not she sought me out to feel safe, and that means more than she'll ever know. "Alpha Nicholas. Thank you for informing me of the situation and allowing us to be here." While I knew that I couldn't stop the Elders from coming here it didn't mean that I would allow them near my mate if I didn't trust them enough. Luckily for me, I've worked with Elder Rick more than once and he's honestly one of the best men that I have ever met.

POV MADDISON # CHAPTER 9: Splitting the Prey The sting of the morning’s revelations still burned in my veins long after Caleb had left me breathless and trembling against the polished wood of his desk. Richard was having a child with Lauren. The betrayal was absolute, but the weakness I used to feel had been completely ironed out of me.

I was scheduled to accompany Asher to the northern district to inspect one of the primary commercial properties Richard’s company had just defaulted on.

“Avery, this is Richard De La Fontaine. And his son Lael.” “It’s my pleasure to finally meet you, Avery,” Richard said, standing up fully to offer me a warm genuine handshake. He had a strong build, but unlike his son, his expression was kind. “Your mother hasn’t stopped talking about how brilliant you are.” “Thank you, Mr. De La Fontaine. It’s nice to meet you.” I managed to say, my voice sounding incredibly small even to my own ears. “Oh please, call me Richard,”he insisted with a smile before gesturing to the guy next to him. “And this is my son, Lael. I believe you two go the same university?”

Sam hesitated, then said quietly, “Should I bring Miss Valtieri out? That was… a bit too harsh.” Inside the room, Liesa blinked in surprise. Then she smiled. “Ten million?” Liesa repeated softly, tilting her head. She thought, For a second, she looked almost tempted. Richard watched her carefully, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. “As long as you leave him,” Richard said coldly, folding his hands. “You’ll never have to worry about money again.” Liesa lowered her gaze, as if seriously considering it.
