[•••Richie&Elena•••]

CHAPTER ONE

"Good morning dad"

Little Lisa said while hugging her dad warmly.

"Morning princess" Richard said kissing all her face and she giggled cutely.

"C'mon dad. It tickles!"she spoke still laughing.

"OK princess you need to go and prepare for school. Your nanny already has your bath prepared"Richard spoke pulling her up.

"But daaaaaaad"she drawled.

"I don't feel like going to school today. Can't I just tag along with you to the company? I swear I'm gonna be a good girl,you won't even hear me squeak. Daddy please!!"she clasped her small hands together.

"My angel, daddy's busy today. I can't let you miss school either. I promise,this weekend I'll see what I can do and maybe we can go to the park together huh?"he suggested either and she rolled eyes rudely pulling away from her dad.

"Are you serious? I'm not dumb dad. You kept me and that stupid nanny waiting for you under the sun for hours the last time. You can't play me for a fool this time"she hissed and stormed into the bathroom angrily.

"Princess Lisa. Your bath is ready"the maid spoke respectfully bowing.

Lisa eyed her and hissed.

"Just get out"she muttered and the maid dashed out.

"Stupid people all around me. What sorta life is this"she mumbled and a devilish grin spread on her lips.

"She's been here for you to 3 days. It's time she leaves"Lisa scoffed and turned on the heat regulator on the bath tub making the temperature increase drastically.

Richard made to walk out of the room when his daughter's scream made him rush in madly.

"Lisa what is it!"he asked in panic.

"This witch intended to roast me!! The water is boiling hot!!"Lisa complained crying.

"Pamela!!!!!!"Richard screamed and the maid rushed in.

"Boss I...."

"You're fired! Get yourself and your lowlife personality out of my house!"he ordered angrily.

The maid rushed out without even begging. Staying here for one more day was like hell anyways.

"Did you see that? She's an arrogant b*tch. I want another nanny dad"Lisa sniffed.

"Sure baby. I'll get one for you okay?"Richard assured.

"You will?"

"Sure princess. Now go bath and dress up before you come for breakfast"she nodded and smiled.

"I love you Daddy"she smiled.

"Daddy loves you more"he pecked her hair before leaving her in the bathroom alone. After regulating her bath temperature of course.

Soon,she was done dressing up.

She wore a short pink skirt and white crop top on which they inscribed Barbie.

She made her way to the dinning room while pressing on her iPhone as her school bag hung on her left shoulder.

"Finally, she's here"Richard rolled eyes with a smile.

"Whatever. So tell me"she twirled around cutely.

"How do I look?"

"You're looking great as always princess"he spoke pulling out a chair for her to sit on.

"Thanks. Oh, and that reminds me. Hope that witch's out of here already?! Remember she almost ruined my perfect skin"Lisa frowned giving her this witchy vibe and Richard chuckled.

"And what's funny here?" she said as her frown deepened.

"Nothing baby it's just that...it's just that"he was still saying

"Am outta here! She cut him off, Lucas!!"she cut him off and walked out on her dad.

"Young Miss"Lucas replied immediately walking towards her.

"What are you waiting for? Are you planning to make me late or what?"she eyed him walking towards the red Ferrari.

"My apologies young Miss"he bowed his head slightly.

"Just shut up. We're taking this baby today. Can't wait to see the look on that idiot called Becky"she smirked.

"You're too young to curse at your friend"Lucas muttered slowly.

"Do you really want me to say something?"she raised a brow obviously pissed out and he immediately opened the door for her as she hopped in not without banging the door.

{STAR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL}

Immediately the car drove in,student gathered round it.

"Have a nice day ma'am"Lucas smiled opening the door for her.

"You don't expect a thank you right or do you? Anyways,vamoose"she scoffed and walked out.

Immediately her limited Celine shoes dropped down,screams rented the air.

*SHE'S SO CUTE!!!

*I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND

*I LIKE HER SKIRT

"I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST GIRL ON EARTH IF I BECOME HER FRIEND!!

A girl shouted and she smile egoistically and flaunt her hair.

"I deserve this attention. Afterall,your generations combined can't afford you the Ferrari I drove in"she boasted walking majestically towards the entrance.

She was still walking when she caught sight of a boy sorted on a bench while reading.

Obviously,he was the only one who wasn't affected by her presence and that thought irked her madly.

She wanted all the attention for herself and this idiot was giving it to some silly book?!!

"Hey you come here"she spoke loudly and he started shaking immediately he heard her voice.

He's always been her prey cause he's poor and doesn't give her the attention she seeks.

"You...you called for m..me" the boy Liam stuttered fearfully.

Who knew what his punishment was gonna be today? Students murmured but she careless.

"I know I did" she said with a devilish grin. New task Liam, I want you to go down on your knees right now and lick my shoe"Lisa spoke with a smirk with folded arms.

Everyone's eye widened.

*I KNOW HE WILL DO IT

*A POOR MAN CAN DO ANYTHING

*I PITY HIM

A girl sad from the cloud and Liam started crying immediately but he knew better than beg.

"You are wasting my time!!!"

Lisa yelled and he flinched, he was about bending down when a voice stopped him.

"DON'T TRY IT!!!"All eyes turned to see the owner of the voice who turned out to be....

How's it for a start?

[•••Richie&••• Elena]

CHAPTER TWO

✓✓✓✓

"DON'T TRY IT!!!" All eyes turned to see the owner of the voice who turned out to be....

Becky!!

Lisa's one and only rival. They hate each other so damn much and it's impossible for them to be anywhere near each other for more than a second. Chaos is sure to display if it happens.

Though Becky is also from a rich family, she's nothing compared to Lisa who had everything at her beck and call.

You wouldn't even want to know Lisa's net worth. The money her bank account carries can buy the whole of NYC and she'd still have change remaining! Tell me,why won't she be rude when the world basically rotates around her fingers?

"And who gave you the f*cking audacity to butt into my business. When did that rubbish start?" Lisa frowned fumming in anger.

Becky was about to reply when a voice from the speakers interrupted her.

"All students to your classes. Lectures are about to commence"

"The stupidity you just displayed, don't let it repeat itself again else!! Your dad's company will reduce to dust. You should know I don't bluff"Lisa scoffed before walking off sassily.

The crowd watching the drama followed her leaving Becky to clench her fist in anger.

"That stupid b*itch!"she cussed and stormed in.

Mario sighed.

"If only Lisa could just quit bullying"he muttered before walking in too.

"Lena you're late already!!"Mrs Harper shouted from the kitchen.

"Enough with the noise please. Why am I the only one in this house who works huh? What happened to that lazy butthead son of yours?"Elena grumbled from her bed.

"Don't drag me into your laziness issue. I'm still a college student so duhhhh"Kraig rolled eyes and his mother laughed.

They were both in the kitchen with Mrs Harper preparing breakfast and Kraig eating from it constantly due to his hunger.

"Just shut up will ya"Elena hissed finally standing up from her bed.

"No rest at all. Everytime, working my butt out for some ungrateful peeps"she grumbled kicking away the empty pizza box laying on the floor.

She looked around her room and frowned. It looked like a pigsty right now.

Her clothes including her panties, brassieres and underwears were littered around. Her shoes were visible in different corners.

Even the plate she used in eating 4 days ago was still visible in her room making the room smell weirdly.

"Should I just arrange this shit today?"she muttered.

"Nope. I'm too tired. I'll just do that when I return"she concluded and rushed into the bathroom with her towel.

"This is taking too long mum. I'm getting late for my first class"Kraig complained.

"Shut up!"Mrs Harper snapped dishing out the food.

"Ah finally"

"What's finally? Better get ready for school cause you're not eating. You've had your share while eating since"she rolled eyes.

"Mum!! C'mon"he whinned but she ignored him taking the trays out to the dinning.

"Breakfast ready?"Elena asked hopping in on one leg as she tried to tie the lace of her second shoe.

"Yes..."Mrs Harper was still saying.

"Oh no. Almost 9!! I gotta bounce mum"she picked one piece of turkey and ran out with her hair following behind her.

Richard just came out all dressed, he took his car key which was lying on top of the table and left the building.

"Should I drive you sir?" Blake said and Richard glared at him.

"Am I supposed to drive myself or what?"Richard snapped.

"My apologies" Blake bowed his head slightly.

"Rubbish"Richard muttered hopping into his red Bugatti Veyron.

Blake is Richard's personal driver the only one who has served him for 5 years without getting fired so far.

Blake ignited the engine and like that,they zoomed off.

Elena could be seen walking along the road with her hands in her pocket, she is wearing a black leather skirt and pink crop top that fits her so much.

She wasn't walking like someone who was late or something...she walked like she had all the time in the world!

She was still walking when a car splashed mud on her obviously by mistake.

"What the fuuuck!!!"She shouted crazily and started chasing after the car not minding the speed. Good thing she was an excellent racer.

When she saw that the car is moving faster than she could catch up with, she picked a stone and threw it, targeting the back glass.

She hit her target as the glass cracked madly since the stone was quite huge.

"What!!!!!!! Stop the god-damned car this instant!!"Richard screamed and came down with anger written all over his handsome face.

"What have you done? Do you have any idea how I got this car? This can feed you and your entire generations to come!!" He shouted angrily.

"Uhm, excuse me but what's my offense?"Elena asked holding her waist.

"Is it that you're blind or you can't see? Can't you see you just broke my glass? Merely fixing it costs millions of dollars!"Richard said tighting his fist.

"So you're the only one permitted to get mad right? Are you gonna deny you didn't see me while driving? Yet you splashed mud on me. Mud!! You think it's easy getting this clothes from a brand like Celine? Huh?" she glared back at him

"Make sure we never cross paths again cause I'll make sure to ruin you. I'll make you pay for this...slut!!!"he issued a long hiss before entering his car and zooming off.

"That crazy wench! Who does he think he is?! All talk no action. He can't do nothing"she scoffed.

"He's lucky I have somewhere to be. If not,I'd have stayed on his car roof and follow him to his destination. Lemme see what he'd be able to do. Rubbish!"she muttered Dusting her clothes as she walked away.

Speak of the only top one clothing company in NYC? It belongs to Richard. He's also got branches littered all around USA.

Richard got down from the car immediately Blake halted, slamming the door behind him angrily.

He took his personal evaluator which took him from the parking lot to his office. He ignored all the greetings that came his way and just entered his office.

"What do you think made boss this angry?" Mabel, Richard's secretary asked looking at the door to Richard's office.

"Are you serious? Boss is ALWAYS angry. It's not like you've seen him smile before"another random staff spoke truthfully and got a glare from Mabel.

Mabel has been obsessed with Richard right from the day she started working in R&L EMPIRE.

She's been looking for any means to make Richard fall for her, but all her plans so far had woefully failed.

"Just continue with your work and stop saying nonsense" she hissed and walk away shaking her small butt.

★★★

In Richard's office,he could he seen pacing around with his fist clenching and unclenching at intervals. His anger refused to melt off.

Everywhere was a total mess with all his files scattered all over the office.

"Make sure we don't cross paths again whore!" he said breathing hard.

The door to his office opened and Ranger came in with a friend.

He's Richard's childhood friend. They've been friends since diapers.

"What's wrong dude? Another offender?"he asked knowing his friend too well.

"Not just an offender Ranger. She insulted me!!"Richard spoke angrily.

"Calm down first and tell me what happened"Ranger convinced.

Richard hissed in between his story and by the time he was done,Richard was already a laughing disaster.

"What's funny here?" Richard asked holding his waist dramatically, making Ranger laugh more.

"You're hopeless. What brings you here anyways?"Richard said sitting on his table edge.

"So I need a reason to visit now?" Ranger said rolling his eyes

"I know there must be a reason why you came. You never visit unless you need something" he said knowingly.

"Okay fine,you caught me"Ranger muttered.

"I heard there's a really good restaurant nearby. Let's go grab some food"Ranger convinced.

He's the type who didn't like eating alone.

"No thanks,I've eaten breakfast already"Richard declined.

"C'mon man. Please?"Ranger begged.

Richard opened his mouth to speak when his phone pinged.

It was a debit alert of 50 million. Only one person was capable of doing this very early in the morning.

"Havana Wealth!!!"he groaned aloud and as if his sister heard him,her call came through.

"Hello big bro. I withdrew just 50 million from the card I seized from you. I needed it to buy a thing or two"he could tell Havana was smiling from the other end.

"How the hell did you know the pin? I thought I changed it?!", Richard spoke.

"Just 5 bars of chocolate together with an ice cream outing, Lisa spilled it"Havana grinned.

"If a single dollar goes missing again,I swear, I'll ship you back to your parents in Miami. It's a promise"Richard warned and hung up.

"Anna and her stunts again?"Ranger asked with a chuckle.

"Swears, that girl is an energy drainer. Let's go. I'm suddenly feeling hungry"he muttered standing up.

Real Oxford highschool,the number one name that rings a bell in NYC.

It's super populated due to the school's influence. It's meant for the rich only since only they could afford it but then some poor yet intelligent people were given a chance via scholarship.

Just 2 students are recruited once every year and fortunately, Kraig happened to be one of them.

He's been in this school for about a year and six months. He wouldn't deny the exclusive knowledge he got from schooling here but then the bullying was on another level.

Even the rich bullied the less rich. How much more him who was poor and fatherless?

He sighed walking into the school compound which was wide and looked busy.

"Hey bruhh"Craig,his friend hung his hand around his neck.

Yes,they were name sakes just that their initials differed. It was same prononciation.

"Hey. Done with your project yet?"Kraig asked.

"You know I forgot so I stayed awake through the night but could only do half. Miss big boobs has gatta accept it like that"Craig spoke and Kraig shook his head.

"Crazy"he chuckled.

That was when 3 flashy red sport cars drove in.

"Uh-oh. Trouble"Craig muttered and Kraig's grip over his bag strap tightened.

The first one opened and an incredibly hot girl stepped out looking so posh.

She was putting on a crazy bum-short and a net top with nothing underneath. She completed the dressing with white sneakers.

The second one opened revealing a girl with red hair. She looked beautiful too but much more crazier and hotter.

The last one opened and it took a while before red heel boots stepped out.

Kraig's nervousness increased. She was coming. His number one nightmare in the school.

She stepped out completely and flaunted her hair.

She was putting on a mini skirt and small cloth which covered her boobs only. Every other part of her body was left on full view.

Guys swallowed cause of her hotness.

"Damn, she's hot!"Craig commented but Kraig could care less.

"Damn, Pearl you look muah!"

"Just one night Bianca and I'll die happy!!"

"That Savage look on Summer is everything!!"

Who are they? They're the GOLDEN BIXCHES!

Their parents are so damn wealthy and each one of the had a certain share in the school. Main reason why everything they do is never questioned.

"I love you too guys"Summer who's obviously the leader winked at them.

"Where's my baby?"she asked sarcastically and Kraig hesitantly pushed himself forward.

"I'm....I'm here"he spoke lowly.

"So I really need to call you before you do your job?"she raised a brow at him.

"I...I'm sorry. I was using the.....rest...room"he stuttered hurriedly taking her bag.

"Whatever. Let's bounce"she walked into the building with her friends and Kraig following her.

"I seriously can't wait for the pool party Roman plans on throwing! I can almost taste the pretty d**ks that'll be present"Bianca,the bitchest one squeaked excitedly.

"I know right? I plan on rocking the black bikini I purchased last week"Pearl chipped in.

"Well,I have nothing in mind yet. My "baby" will pick out mine for me. Right?"Summer turned to Kraig who raised his head up.

"Huh? Me?"he poked his chest.

It's no new news that Summer once liked Kraig. She took the initiative to ask him out but he turned her down. That's when his room began.

Her bullying him is just a way of revenge.

"Of course. You'll help me right?"she repeated her question tauntingly.

"Y...yes of... of course"he muttered pathetically.

"Good b..."Summer was saying when Kraig mistakenly stepped on his shoe lace and tripped mistakenly pushing Summer.

Together,they crashed on the floor making their lips accidentally meet!!!

{Richie and Elena....}

CHAPTER THREE

✓✓✓✓

Making their lips accidentally meet!!!

The people around who witnessed this gasped loudly.

Kraig hurriedly got up with this unreadable expression on his face.

He just lost his first kiss to the girl he hated most!!?

"Girl are you okay!?"Pearl and Bianca helped Summer up.

"I... I'm sorry I didn't mean for...it to happen"Kraig muttered looking down.

"Are you being serious right now? You deliberately pushed me!!"Summer shouted and raised her hand to hit him when a voice interrupted her.

"I dare you rainbow Ruby"Havana smirked walking towards them while unknowingly flaunting her beauty.

"K were you seriously gonna let her do that to you?"Havana frowned looking at Summer like she was some piece of trash.

Kraig and Havana have been friends since forever. He just doesn't like associating with her in school to avoid trouble.

"Anna,please just leave. You'll make things worse for me"he pleaded lowly that only Summer and her could hear.

"You heard him right? Leave!"Sumner spoke obviously angry.

"I don't listen to what a dumb headed b*tch like you says so shut the hell up before I shut it for you"Havana hissed and faced Kraig.

"You know what? I'm done playing word games with you. Kraig? Let's go"Summer spoke and Havana held his hand firmly.

"He's not going anywhere. Kraig I've got something real urgent to tell you"she spoke.

"I... I'm sorry. Maybe later?"he pulled himself away from her grip and stood beside Summer who smirked.

"I guess my point is crystal clear?"she giggled annoyingly and walked off with Kraig and her friends following.

"That idiot! He'll Meet me later"Havana muttered feeling offended as she walked off too.

Elena sneaked in trying not to get caught cause she was SUPER late!!

"You're finally here. Boss has been waiting for you. He asked uoi to come see him immediately you arrive"Tatiana,her friend in the restaurant spoke..

"That good for nothing old man. I'll be right back"Elena sighed and walked into the office briskly.

"Hey boss"she beamed trying to hide her nervousness.

"What says the time Elena?"Mr Qulams asked as calmly as he could.

"It's past 9 already but I swear,it wasn't my fault!!"Elena defended.

"That's what you say each and Everytime Elena! Every normal staff resumes work by 7:30 but you? I'm so done with you!'"he yelled angrily.

"Are you seriously gonna fire me right now?"she asked in disbelief.

"No. But this is your final warning. Any more mistakes and you're out Elena. I promise you"he spoke and she glared at him before storming off obviously angry.

She threw on her apron and grabbed a menu as she headed for table 12.

Earlier,Ranger and Richard had arrived as they parked the car in the lot.

"This is the place you were talking about?"Richard asked and Ranger nodded.

"Yeah. I heard they've got good food"

"Not up to my taste buh okay. Let's try it out"he muttered walking in with Ranger.

They headed for table 12 and settled down.

Elena made her way towards them with an angry face as she dropped the menu.

"Your orders"she grumbled and that's when Richard looked up causing both their eyes to widen.

"You!!!"they both exclaimed.

"You two know each other?"Ranger asked in confusion.

"She's the one who that to my car"Richard glared at Elena who just stared at him blankly.

"This is my workplace Mister so I advice you leave and not cause any commotions for me"Elena spoke as nicely as she could.

"I'm here as a customer. Serve me"Richard smirked.

"Fine. Your order"Elena brought out her small jotter and pen from her small pocket.

"Just grilled turkey and your best selling wine to go with"Ranger replied and Elena nodded, writing it down.

"You?"she asked with a forced smile.

"Tacos and same wine"Richard replied.

She nodded and left only to return few minutes later with their orders.

"Enjoy"she spoke sarcastically and made to leave when Richard's voice stopped her.

"Wh... What's a Roach doing in my food?"he asked in horror staring at the tacos in front of him.

"What are you saying?! Dude,if I get fired because of you,I swear to gawd,it won't be funny"she warned.

"Get me your manager!! Is this how customers are f*cking treated here? I made a complaint and you're supposed to correct it not bark at me like a dog!"Richard shouted obviously annoyed and everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the drama.

"With all due respect, you should leave! My job is on the friggin line here!"Elena yelled back angrily.

Who the hell does he think he is go just try and ruin things for her.

"Bro you should stop"Ranger spoke.

"I'm not resting till she bleeds through her palms"Richard glared.

"Manager!!!"

"What is going on here!? Elena you again?!"Mr Qualms spoke disappointed as he walked towards them.

"Mr Qualms,it's not what you think. It's this man's fault"Elena tried explaining.

"There was a roach in my food!! You didn't expect me to stay quiet about it!"Richard snapped.

"So what're you tryna say? That I put it there?!"she snapped back.

"It's possible!!"he snapped too.

"Enough!!!"Mr Qualms yelled in frustration.

"Elena, you're fired. Get the hell outta my restaurant. And you sir,I apologise for any misconduct. We'll get another staff to attend to you"Mr Qualms spoke.

"Qualms!! You can't do this!!"Elena spoke.

"Well I can and I'm actually doing it already. Leave or I'll call the security to help you out"Mr Qualms spoke and left.

Elena turned to face Richard who smirked.

"I told you didn't I? Make sure we never meet again"

"Why did you decide to come here of all places. This is the only good paying work I've got! And you ruined it!!"she shouted at him.

How was she supposed to feed her family now?

"Well,you ruined my car too. That Bugatti Veyron was the only one in the country!"he shot too.

"That's the problem here. You've got money at your beck and call but I don't! My problem isn't a f*cking Bugatti. I have a mum to feed and a brother to send to school"Elena spoke angrily and Richard scoffed.

"So? How's that supposed to be any of my business?"he retorted.

Elena stared at him in disbelief and stormed out.

"Bro!! That was way too harsh!"Ranger reprimanded.

"She deserves it. She deserves more"Richard spoke and Ranger shook his head.

Even he doesn't recognize his friend anymore. He just wanted to have his friend back.

They finished eating and paid for their meals. Meanwhile Elena was waiting for him outside and when she saw him, she rushed and smacked him with her bag.

"What was that for?" Richard shouted and groan.

"For making me loose my job" she said angrilyand walked away.

Richard turned to see Ranger smiling.

"what's funny?" Richard asked and glared at him making Ranger laugh.

"I think I like her. She totally fits in with your grumpy personality" Ranger said, chuckling and Richard scoffed

"She's so not my type. I mean, she's not even beautiful to begin with"he said and Ranger rolled his eyes.

"Just admit it. You won't die"he spoke as they entered the car before driving off.

< THE HARPER'S APARTMENT >

"Lena, you're back? So soon? What happened? Hope it's not what am thinking!!?"Mrs Harper asked all at once with worry evident in her face.

"Yes, it's what you're are thinking. I got fired"Elena snapped and went to her room banging her door behind her.

< RICHARD'S ESTATE 7:30 Pm >

Richard could be seen in his room, with a glass of wine in his hand.

His door opened and Lisa came in.

"Dad" she called and hugged him tight.

"What is it princess?"

"You promised to get another nanny for me" she pouted faking sad tears and Richard sighed.

"I know princess, but dad is always busy. I rarely even have time for myself but still,I promise to do something about it hmm?"Richard said cleaning her tears.

"That's what you always say"Lisa scoffed rolling her eyes.

"But dad is serious this time"Richard said and kissed her cheeks.

"You know I love you right?"he asked but she ignored him and he sighed.

"Okay Princess its time for bed. Good night" he kissed her forehead and she left without a word.

"How can I find another nanny now?" he muttered in concern as he lay down. Slowly,sleep overwhelmed him.

Elena came out of her room all dressed. She hugged her mum from the back, and pecked her cheek.

"Get off me" Mrs harper said and Elena roll her eyes.

"Where are you off to? " She asked facing her this time.

"To find another job of course"she said and Mrs Harper sighed.

"Are you sure you won't cause trouble and ruin things yourself?"Kraig mocked and Elena shit him a glare.

"Don't worry,I will be back before you know it"she hugged her mum, choosing to ignore her nasty brother, and left.

*

Richard was Currently in his way to work. Apparently,he dropped Lisa off per her request.

He was still driving when he saw three guys chasing one girl and as the kinda person he was, he wanted to ignore but he halted the car and stepped out.

He was still thinking on what to do when the Elena ran behind him, holding his shirt looking a bit scared.

"PLEASE SAVE ME MR COLD FACE!!"
