Chapter 23 - Welcome to the Ricky's paradise.

The Ricky's mansion is more so like a paradise in the desert.

Outside , it is bright and colourful with yellow and pink roses lining to the entrance of the mansion.

Standing at the entrance,you definitely see yourself an the door entering the Lord's secret chambers.

Inside the mansion, the shining light that resembles eternity welcomes you to the life that you've ever yarned for.

Looking at the walls' texture, their colour represents the peaceful and gracious lion that have been starving for years.

Besides the texture , walls on the left hand are decorated with ancient paintings and they're worthy loves of people on planet earth.

On the right hand side, there are family photos for every moment in life.

" This is a paradise of eternity," most people say.

But in reality , it's a paradise of torture.

Behind the walls of love , peace , harmony and beauty, there is hidden walls of hatred , violence and evil in the Ricky's mansion.

Judging on the family photos, the family consist of three members.

Alvin Ricky , the eldest child child of Louis Ricky.

He does all his father's dirty works.

Him and his father don't get along , they spend their free time arguing and quarreling over simple occasions.

His father don't agree with his feelings towards his sister Anita.

Anita's photos are filled in every corner of his bedroom.

His obsession towards his sister overwhelms everyoment that passes.

Louis Ricky , is Anita and Alvin's father.

He runs every every dirt business in the country.

He is more interested in human and drug trafficking.

His favourite game is to murder and torture those who tend to betray his trust.

Louis Ricky is filled with the longing hatred towards the Andersons.

He believes that all the Andersons deserve to pay for the death of his mistress -wife ( Anita's mother ) who killed herself because of sexual harasment caused by Marcus Anderson.

Anita Ricky , whose mind was filled with thoughts of revenge and hatred.

She was trained to avenge her mother's death.

In life , she never experienced what it is to be loved , cared for or how it feels to be a normal child.

Anita's mindd is tortured with her brother's harassments.

Back to track.

Sniffling and sobbing voices are filled in the darkest room inside the Ricky's mansion.

A man with bleeding wounds and swollen - reddish eyes is sitting on the chair.

His hands are tied behind the chair and Louis Ricky is standing beside him.

Infront him, a man with a built body and terrorist face is standing infront of him holding a hunter's knife and rolled his nakles with a chain.

Alvin is also standing besides his father with a golden pistol in his hands.

Louis punched the man's face.

" Bastard, did you really think that you can just run away with my drugs before I catch you". Louis says.

" He is already dead, boss". The man says.

"Really!

Then he will need someone to work with and talk to in the after life.

Besides, you're good friends after all, am sure he will be happy to see you there..."

" What do you mean , boss? , I have been loyal to you this all time.

Why would you want to kill me along with him?"

" You're right , you've been loyal to me but to him as well". Louis says.

" Did you really think that we won't find out that you two conspired to run away with our drugs.

And you betrayed him after knowing that we found out about your plans".

Alvin says.

" Am really sorry for that but please don't kill me , sir.

I have a family and I did all of that for them ".

"Family,huh?

You've a family.... ?" Alvin says.

" Yes , sir and I need to be with them".

" He also had a family as well but you killed him.

Don't you think that his family is there waiting for him". Alvin says.

" Can you just finish him already?

I hate to see traitors".

" Okay ,dad".

Alvin raises the pistol and points it in the man.

He starts wetting his pants and tears pass in his eyes as he plead for mercy.

Alvin rapidly shoot him on his fore head.

" Make sure that the men clean this up". Louis says as he walk away.

Alvin rubs his hand through his face and spits on the lying corpse as he breathes out.

At the Rocky jewelries.

Josh Rocky is remembers his first meeting with Anita.

" She seems to be pretty but not smart enough.

I do know that you know something about Emmanuel's videos but why are you hiding it from me.

Why do you pretend to be in love with him?

I surely need to find out the real you ".

Josh makes a phone call to the reception desk.

" Now I will surely find out what you're hiding, my secret love.

In a mean time , Emmanuel arrived in Josh's office.

" Why did you call me here , bastard?"

" Bastard!

Really?, or you're the bastard , Emmanuel?

Your parents got you as a result of adultery".

Emmanuel filled with anger , he stepped forward to punch him.

Josh holds his hand in the air.

" Cool down , mister Anderson.

It's not good for your healthy and besides, I don't want to argue with you today.

I want to tell you who released the videos".

" Who else besides you ?"

" It's your fiancee , Anita Ricky....".

Emmanuel giggles and extends more close to him.

He pulls Josh's tie.

" Do you really think I can believe a deceitful person like you, Josh Anderson?

A person who can disguise himself to be someone else".

" That is true , you cannot believe a person like me but you've no choice but to do so.

If you don't help me, you'll never find out which kind of poison is eating you inside".

" I love her and I know she loves me as well".

" She does not love you, she is pretending to be in love with you because she wants to avenge her parents' death.

Your dad was the cause of their death".

" Liar...., I know that you're doing this to make me separate from her because you also have feelings for her".

Emmanuel says as he walks away.

" It's fine if you don't want to listen to me but you can find out from her deeds".

" I know you're easy to be manipulated and to be fooled.

And you'll surely make some research about her.

In that way , you'll help me to know what kind of a person she is.

This is what they call hitting two birds with one stone.

You'll break up with her and she will only be mine and by the end of all of this, I'll clear my company's name".
