On a sunny day in the Johnson's villa a cold and dark atmosphere filled the air, the sound of silence was so clear that even the birds on the trees in the compound were hardly heard, in front of a window in a room oldmaster Richard stood there with his assistant Charles behind him they were just standing there drowning into the world of silence until the Charles finally spoke up when he couldn't take the pressure of the silence and the cold aura emitting from the old master anymore. He was scared, when the old master called him to his room It is usually something serious any time he is called like this. Clearing his throat he finally summoned all the courage to speak up.
Charles: old master what seems to be the problem you haven't saidanything since you called me here; he said shakily secretly praying in his mind that there was nothing wrong
After another five seconds of silence he finally answered
Old master: there is not wrong, I am just worried about raphael
Charles breathed a sigh of relief inwardly that thankfully it was nothing that serious
Charles: what do you mean, as Raphael done something wrong?
Old master: no he didn't do any thing wrong, I am just worried because you know Raphael will soon graduate from college and very soon I will step down and he will be the one taking charge
Charles: yes I know if you are worried about him taking over you shouldn't because I know very well that young master is intelligent and good enough to take over the company.
Old master: I know but I'm not worried about that I know he will do excellently well in that aspect
Charles: if I may ask young master what exactly are you worried about
Old master: I'm worried about the fact up until now he as never introduce someone to me and I'm not sure he ever will anytime I try to talk to him about it he just tries to change the topic
Charles: old master I will suggest you give him time after all he is just about to graduate let him enjoy his youthful years now
Old master: hmm I guess you might be right I just don't want him to end up alone.
Charles understood that old master was recalling bitter memories of how he Lost his wife and he knows how painful It can be so just doesn't want Raphael to end up like him he loves his grand child Raphael as much as he loves his children.
Flash back****
Old master Richard had two children with his wife patricha, they were both boys, John and Robert. John was the oldest. As time grew they both grew up and got married, John married Sabrina a beautiful but materialistic and rude woman because of this old master never liked her but because he loved his son John he let them get married for his own happiness, while Robert got married to Alex. Alex was a very beautiful and kind hearted woman so old master favoured her more than Sabrina.
Sabrina gave birth Elle but unfortunately for her she didn't give birth early, and Alex gave birth to Raphael, three years later Sabrina became pregnant and gave birth to Elle , because of this Sabrina as always had an unending hatred towards Alex . Sabrina had always raised Elle as a spoilt reach girl who could get anything she wants as a result Elle was very spoilt and rude to the less privilege people around her, she was not reprimanded by her family because she was the only female grand child who was always treated as a princess on the other hand Raphael was always a cold faced boy but he was caring and respectful unlike his cousin Elle although people sometimes are afraid by of him and even compare him with his grandpa Richard they still like and respect him more than Lisa.
End of flash back
Present time***
Raphael POV:
Raphael who just finished another boring day with lectures in college was on his way to the school's cafetaria with his best friend Theo.
Raphael: hey man I'm so sick and tired of this lectures I can't wait to graduate
Theo: you're not the only one bro, I can't wait to also graduate. What do you say we go....
Just when he was about to complete his sentence someone was yelling their names from afar, they didn't need to think twice before knowing who that was. It was Justin their other friend yelling there names from afar
Justin: hey ! Raphael, Theo !! Guys!!wait up
When he got close to them he was panting heavily like someone who just ran a marathon race
Theo: hey dick head why were you running and yelling our names like that
Justin: hey moron is that the proper way to greet a friend, anyways hello to you too; he replied sarcastically
Although Justin and Theo argue a lot they still love each other same goes to Raphael. The three have all been best friend since childhood even though they have different characters they still behave like brothers, Raphael has always been the more cold and serious type, Justin has always been the playboy, while Theo was like the mature one among them.
Theo: whatever, as I was saying before this dick head interrupted me , what do you guys say we go clubing tonight just to relax and have fun
Raphael: okay
Justin: I'm in
Theo: okay it's settled then let's meet at the usual spot
Raphael: since everything is settled let's go to the cafeteria and get something to eat it's almost past lunch break and I'm very hungry
Justin: yeah me too
On their way to the cafeteria girls kept gawking at them and most especially Raphael but he and his friends just ignored them, Raphael as always been a very handsome person even from childhood, he had beautiful blue eyes, a dark hair which as been put to perfection, with pink lustios lips and a well built masculine body. He was not only hand some but was always the top best in his class. Theo and Justin where also very handsome, but Raphael was still the most handsome of the three. when they got to the cafeteria they ordered their lunch and started eating and chatting happily with Justin doing most of the talking.
