## **Backstory**

June 24, 1987

Richard was born in Massachusetts on a Wednesday, a very hot one too, his mother was a Sales lecturer in a nearby college which she worked at for around 3 years prior to giving birth to Richard, her name was rose.

Now, the father, Frank, was an interesting character, he was an engineer for the U.S. Army Corps, new England division. Massachusetts wasn’t his home or anything he was just assigned to a water resource development project there which took him around a year and a while to fulfil his duty.

I say interesting and for good reason too, his mother and father are unknown, completely off the grid, but Frank has very clear memories of what his parents were like, what they’d make him for breakfast on a Friday, what car his dad had, but for the life of him he cannot remember their names. Rose actually hired a private investigator back in 79’ to search for any trace of them.

This being said Frank was a friendly character but when you pissed him off. God help you.

Richard had a desirable upbringing to say the least as both of his parents raked in quite the paycheck, he wasn’t spoilt and his father made sure of that by making sure Richard worked for any pocket change he got, Stern but reasonable.

In 2001 Rose and Frank split up due to Frank being at work most of the time, it was more or less a mutual decision, Richard didn’t take this very well at the time and acted out at school more, couple of scuffles with his classmates once in a while caught the eye of one of the head teachers at Richards high school, she was called Marylin and was the wife of an oil baron.

She went out and took Richard inside, Richard thought he was in for it.

Instead of telling Richard parents, Marylin and Richard would speak in a classroom, almost like therapy. Richard and Mrs. Lee (Marylin) talked in that class for around 45 minutes just about Richard’s feelings and his current progress at school.

Mrs. Lee was a very kind woman and saw Richard as herself back when she was a child as she went through the same thing. Richard and Mrs. Lee would talk nearly every day if not every other day and they developed a connection which resulted in Richard being able to tell Mrs. Lee more things than he could tell his mother.

Mrs. Lee talked about her Husband George, and what he was like, Richard knew how rich he was as he had seen him in newspapers before, “George Lee; Massachusetts’ very own!”

Richard wanted that, that life, the recognition and the benefits. With his fathers’ hard lessons nailed into his head he knew he had to work for it, so he did.

Richard ignored his parents Separation as much as he could as it hindered him too much, he was on the hunt for success

Mrs. Lee saw progress and let Richard return to his normal class schedule.

Just a year after when Richard was 15, he had a pretty solid game plan, he knew his weaknesses and what he had to do with them, and the people he had to keep close. Those people were His mother and Mrs. Lee. Not that anyone else didn’t matter but in Richard’s goal to be Like George Lee he had to only stay with beneficial people.

Through this, his mother would do sales lessons once every week after school which turned into one every other day as his mom was getting more time off work.

A burning passion for the chase soon developed in Richard.

He was a bit weird at school and wouldn’t speak to many people anymore, he would just do his work then go home and that was that. Mrs. Lee noticed but she knew what he was doing and was rather proud, she was right to be so as Richard recognised her as the spark to his passion of success.

3 years later…

2005, Richard was then 18.

“A remarkable student”

“Definitely a diamond in the rough”

That last one stuck with Richard and actually added “Diamond” to his name, Richard Dyer Diamond was now his name and was ready to take the town by its scruff.

Richard actually overachieved for the last year and a half but wasn’t moved up a grade since it was basically his last year at high school. He was urged to go to College or Uni but his desire for success couldn’t wait, he was right into it.

His mom put in a good referral to a firm that she used to work at and they accepted Richard with a smile on their face. Now Richards face too.

Richard worked hard and hard at that job until he was tired sick, it wasn’t healthy for him, not in the slightest and he knew this, but his determination was through the roof.

He climbed the Ranks of that job leaping from Sales associate to Sales representative and when Richard was 22, he was the Development Manager For RateX Ltd.

Richard had a phone call from someone asking to speak to “Richie” which was Richards name at high school, he knew it was Mrs. Lee. She wanted him to come to dinner with her and her husband the next day at the Grand. Richard was ecstatic and had to take the rest of the day off, he was actually going to meet THE George Lee, over dinner no less. Richard was dazed as he didn’t know what to expect but he finally got to sleep and awaited the next day.

He arrived at the Grand which he had only been to once with his auntie back when he was a little boy, the slight nostalgia of the lobby and the background jazz filled Richard with a tingly sensation. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Marylin and George sitting at the table but quickly scurried over to them.

George got Richard the best Beef wellington the city could offer and after all had ate, George only had one question for Richard.

“Hey Richard, wanna come work for me?” ….
