Richard Sebastian
I sat down in my favorite spot close to the pool slowly inhaling the smoke from my cigarette and puffing out the air from my lungs, It felt good as always.My gaze darted towards the pool and I watched the ever fresh, eye-catching water, I wanted to dive in right here and now and relish in it's purity and coldness, it was the only thing that could soothe my soul now but I'd more important things to think about. I will save that for later.
Speaking of the more important things, it was Damien the ruckus of a son that had to bear my name, it feels so frustrating and annoying that the brat doesn't try to listen to what I say, he never wanted to inherit the company at first saying that he doesn't want such life that he wants to further his studies and become a fucking lawyer. And if he does that, who will inherit my company then, I can't just hand over my years of hardwork to some random human who I can hardly trust. He's my heir for Christ sake so he should do what's right, he will grow to love the business world.
And not to mention the slutty gold digger he wants to tie the knot with, like why can't he see what the lady is up to, is he that blind.
I can't let that bitch get married to him under my watch, I despise her so much and don't want her to be part of my family or household. She's in love with money and not Inlove with my son.
"Boss the girl has signed the contract, preparations could kick off now". The voice of my body guard interrupted my trail of thoughts. I didn't smile just remained expressionless.
"Ok, so you take it from here , make sure things are well sort out. I don't want any form of deviances". I said with an air of authority lifting my gaze up to meet his.
"Yes boss, but you needn't have threatened the girl, am sure she would have given in without that lame threat"he said.
"She was wasting too much time deciding so I had to come up with that idea to push her and of course I would have easily carried on with the threat if she had refused. I'm a man of my words, you know that right?"I winked at him and he just bowed.
"Yes sir" he said .
"By the way, when will that bitch be here? it's almost past the time we agreed on meeting ". I said slowly becoming impatient.
"Boss I guess she's here already " he replied as we heard the sound of tyres screeching into the marble grounds of the Mansion. A small grin appeared on my lips.
"Thank the stars that's she's right on time cause I have a ceremony to attend soon" I said and rose to my feet in a split second.
"Tell her to come meet me in the living room on the second floor ". With that I strode away after Henry mumbled 'Yes sir'.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Courtney asked, settling down on the cushion adjacent to mine. She was so fair, tall and slender and had the long legs that could fit a supermodel. She was dressed in a red short sleeveless gown that was above knee-length and a white suit jacket was hung over her shoulders, the dress synched with her red stiletto heels. Her long brown hair was let loose and it swayed down to her upper back, but the one thing that was off was the heavy make-up. It was just too much. She had every trait of a noblewoman, her parents were rich and she was every inch pretty but beauty doesn't always come from the outside look, the inner mind and heart matters.
"It's something very important". I replied after taking time to study her.
"Okay so let's have it " she said re-adjusting herself on the seat to feel more comfortable.
"I don't want you to show up at the wedding" I said calmly. She looked suprised for some minutes cause she just kept staring at me with a confused look.
"And what do you mean by that?" She asked now so curious than never.
"I've found someone else for my son and I want you to step down". I said now so serious. She just burst into a soft chuckle.
"Is this some kind of joke? I really don't get it" she said looking so pissed.
"I'll lend you some money"I said and the moment I mentioned money, of course her deep caramel eyes lit up.
"How much?" She asked. I know i could easily get her, after all she wasn't Inlove with my son, it was the money she was after, very unsatisfiable bitch!
"Thirty million dollars" I said. A small smile surfaced on her lips.
"How about an extra ten on top" she smiled mischievously.
"Fine, Fourty million dollars and that's it" I said with a note of finality.
"So when will I get the money?" She asked.
"As soon as you get on a plane and get out of my Son's life and custody, the money will be wired to your account, he will definitely look for you so make sure you leave the country, am I clear?". I warned.
"Of course Mr. Richard ". She smiled and I just looked away.
"You can leave and make sure to take the next available flight, I'll be tracking all of your movements. Now you may use the door" I said and she smiled broadly.
"Mr. Richard you are such a desperate man, anyway I loved doing business with you, I will be off in the next twenty-four hours ". With that she left and I heaved a sigh of relief.
'Now that was quick '. I muttered to myself.
I punched some numbers on the intercom beside me and called my bodyguard.
"Boss" he said from the other end.
"The bitch is gone, prepare my ride to the Peterson's headquarters" I ordered. Today was my bosom's friend birthday bash and I was gonna use that opportunity to celebrate cause my plan paid off. A few bottles of Champagne would be worth it. I grinned.
"What ride will you be using this time?" Henry's voice alerted me from my thoughts.
"Um_ what about the blue Lamborghini?"I asked.
"Sounds great". He replied
"Then do just that" with that I hung up and rose to my feet to go get a change of clothes.
And so my plan just worked out perfectly, 'Too good to be true Richard Sebastian'. I muttered to myself.
