Novel & Cerita Richard Sterling Story

I gulp His grip on my hand is a little tight, lingering more than it should until I have to pull back my hand away from his. I excuse myself to the kitchen to make tea for the guests and also try calm my pounding heart and clean the multiple drops of sweat on my forehead. How was this even possible? Serge Sterling? Leo? Leo Sterling? Why didn’t Matthew tell me his friend was a Sterling. And why wouldn’t this night just go in my favour for once? I know what I did was really wrong, but Karma had come for me quite too early. The Sterling family was very known all throughout of Seattle and NewYork. They had companies in almost every sector of business.

"You do not understand how the real world works. Richard is a billionaire. He has the money to drag this family court case out for years. He will drain Michael's trust fund with legal fees, and he will make sure the hospital board expels you from your nursing program. He will ruin your life." I looked right into his eyes. I did not feel intimidated by his expensive suit or his harsh words. I saw him for exactly what he was. "You are very misinformed," I told him calmly. "Richard is not invincible. Turn on the news, Mr. Sterling. His company stock crashed this morning. His corporate sponsors are leaving him because of the university bribery scandal. The athletic director is facing a federal i

"Amelia. I met someone." Amelia raised an eyebrow. "Someone?" "A man. At the club. We danced. We talked. We..." She trailed off, blushing. "You didn't." "We did." Amelia set down her coffee. "Valentina! You slept with a stranger?" "I know! I know! It's crazy." Valentina buried her face in her hands. "But he's not a stranger. Not really. His name is Richard. Richard Sterling. He's in finance. He's adopted. He's kind. And funny. And so handsome, Amelia, you wouldn't believe—"

What on earth did he say this time? She immediately went on G****e and searched it up. **From Accuser to Predator: How J.V.Vane Weaponized Slander to Hide a Violent Past.** Her eyes went wide. She didn't bother reading the contents and held the phone against her ear. "How did this happen?" "I'm as lost as you are," Ingrid said. "But I have a feeling Mr. Sterling is behind it." "What?" "I caught a glimpse of him leaving earlier. He looked—how do I say this—like a gangster?"

The Sterling Manor. I don't have a driver's licence, but then I am the billionaire boy, I've got connection in high places thanks to my father. Now it was time for my own legacy and my own story... For now my story in short: My name is Lance Sterling, and I am a fifteen year old billionaire, my father was killed by the vipers, a group that rumors claimed ruled our city's underworld, caused terror and some say they also control the Sterling Enterprises behind the scenes. Which ever way, I am going to find them, avenge my father's death and stop them once and for all.

"David... you... you’ve grown up, my son. I... I am proud of you." Those were the words David had dreamed of hearing since he was a teenager. Richard Sterling spent the next few hours in partial consciousness, speaking slowly with David, Olivia, and Daniel beside him. He recounted how Robert had faked his death and held him hostage under secret care, and how he fought to return from the darkness of the coma. Richard looked at Daniel. "My little Champion... thank you for giving Grandpa a reason to wake up." Richard Sterling died peacefully in The Sanctuary, surrounded by his family, as dawn broke over Flores. He died not as a victim, but as a hero protecting his grandson.

“Karen has discovered some things about her past. Revealing things, I would say.” Richard paused, weighing each word with legal caution. “Does she know she’s a Salvatore?” Sterling’s expression of happiness was almost caricatured, like a child receiving a Christmas present. “Not yet...” Sebastian raised the glass to his lips, savoring the moment as if it were sweeter than the alcohol. “But she knows her mother was murdered. Mrs. Malcolm told her.” Richard frowned. “And why does that make you happy?” Sterling smiled, showing all his teeth. It wasn’t an ordinary smile, but the kind of smile that sends a chill down anyone’s spine.

Celeste sat at the head like she’d been born for it, wearing power like armor. Then Nate walked in and sat opposite her. He looked wrecked, with dark circles under his bloodshot eyes, wrinkled shirt and crooked tie. Like he did not slept at all. The honeymoon started already, I laughed. I watched him, my half-brother took his seat opposite his new wife. The man who had everything I never got, the Sterling name, Richard’s public acknowledgment. The legitimate claim to his empire and he had thrown it all away, managed to destroy it all anyway for the wrong woman.

Option Four dressed up like Option One. I run until my lungs burn, until the sweat ruins the makeup I didn't want to wear, until my legs shake with the effort of just staying upright. Then I stop. I lean against the machine, gasping, trying to pull oxygen into a chest that feels too tight. "Ms. Bennett." The voice makes me freeze. I turn. Richard Sterling stands in the doorway. Victoria’s uncle. The board member who tried to remove Gabriel. Gray hair. Expensive suit. The smile of a man who knows he’s holding a royal flush while everyone else is playing Go Fish.

I don't know whose child this is, but it definitely can't be mine. "When I found out she was pregnant, I gave her two million to get rid of the child. I never expected her to use the kid to lie to two men!" He glared at Gina fiercely, his tone full of resentment. "Gina is famous in our circles for being promiscuous. If you don't believe me, Mr. Sterling, you can ask around." Sebastian's face was terrifyingly dark. He did not expect Gina to be entangled with other men while married to him and to frame him with another man's child.
