Introduction
My name is Dr. Mercedes Ricci. Yes, Italian. I am forty-two years old as I write this story. I have a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech. I am the founder and majority owner of a technology firm that invents devices used in security systems. Yes, I am a Rich Bitch!
I grew up in a small town in Georgia, smartest person in my small high school but weird and ostracized by my fellow students. Mostly my problem. I couldn't relate to anyone and had no friends. Plus, I spent all my time on my studies and trying to make money for college. Luckily, I received an academic scholarship to Georgia Tech. This allowed me to go to that university and pay for my education by working part time jobs. Again, I spent my time working on my studies and making what money I could. But as a result, I finished top of my class and achieved my PhD when I was twenty-five.
While I was at the top of my class, I had few if any interpersonal skills. I was a female in a male dominated field and saw males as the enemy. In engineering the dominate trait was macho. There was little time to care about anyone else's feeling much less your own. There was only winning and achieving. This environment made me hard. At least I blame the environment. Being female, I thought I needed to outdo my male competition. I became a very macho female, able to hide my femininity. People were intimidated by me. It was natural anyway because of my intellect but I made it worse, maybe not on purpose but still I used intimidation as a defense mechanism. In short, I developed the skill of being a hard-assed bitch.
My ability to be macho was only enhanced by my physical appearance. I am a big girl. By the time I got to college, I was five-feet ten and around two hundred pounds. And to be honest my weight only increased in college. I hardened my appearance by cutting my curly black hair severely short, wore no make-up, and dressed in the most masculine way I could. My typical campus dress was baggy cargo pants and bulky shirts. I can carry a lot of weight for a female. You see I have large breasts and a big round ass. But at over two hundred pounds these features were hidden in fat. Both my breasts and ass were flabby.
I dated only a few boys during the entirety of my educational experience. I wasn't the least bit interested in dating the people I was competing with so fiercely. I am also sure that I never gave a boy a reason to be interested. The few dates I had were with geeks like me and they all ended in some kind of argument. With me beating them down through intimidation and intellectual bullying. I did have a lesbian experience with a roommate. While I enjoyed playing around with my roommate, I didn't think I was gay. But it did give me some sexual experience. The one lasting effect of this was good techniques for pleasuring myself.
After college
After receiving my PhD, I went to work for a defense contractor in North Carolina. For three years I developed an expertise in electromagnetics. In my work, I began to see commercial applications for the types of innovations we were working on in the security field. I quit the security of the big firm to develop one of my ideas outside the defense industry. It took six months and all the money I had saved and could borrow to develop a prototype of the security sensor I had envisioned and file for a patent.
With the patent filed, I looked for an angel investor. There was one investor I particularly wanted to hear my pitch. He had some experience starting the type of firm I had in mind. After a lot of phone calls and endurance on my part I got a meeting. I gave them a business plan, a high-level description of the device and description of the patent application. That got me an invitation to make a presentation.
When I was working for the defense firm, my dress remained the same. My macho intimidating bitch act was honed to perfection. For this presentation, I took my last dollars and bought a cheap hard-ass business woman outfit. I thought it hid any femininity and as much fat as possible. The presentation and follow-up questions lasted for two grueling days. At the end of the two days and all questions answered I felt good about my prospects. The key argument was that the patent was defensible and would be granted. The angel investor on the second day had a patent attorney interrogate me.
For the next few days I was on pins and needles. Then I got a call to come in the next afternoon. I was to meet with Mr. Ned Freedman. He was the primary partner in this firm. I knew if he said 'Yes' the deal would be done. He had a reputation of being a hard sell and a hard man. Mr. Freedman was old. I knew he was a widower with two grown children. His children hadn't done much with their opportunity. They both lived far away from him. By outward appearances, his children were spoiled rich kids.
When I arrived at Mr. Freedman office, much to my surprise I was to meet only with him.
He said, "The team is really impressed with you and with your proposition. I think there is a deal to be done."
I kept my cool, "Well great. How do you see this deal being made?"
He said, "Hold on. I know all about you. You know we researched every aspect of you and your life so far."
I said, "I was sure you had. Is something wrong?"
He smiled, "No, but what do you know about me?"
I told him. He again smiled and said, "Yes that is me. So, you know that I am an old man with a lot of money and a business that is very valuable. You also know that neither of my children are worthy to inherit the business or my money for that matter."
He waited for me to say something, but I knew better.
He smiled, "Good. You realize there are times it is better to keep your mouth shut. There are two ways we can go here. The one you proposed with us being your angel investor. Of course, we are going to take all we can from you for your work. We know you are down to your last dollar. I imagine that outfit was the last of your money. So, we will make a deal, but you won't like it. I suspect you will take our offer anyway because you won't have a choice. But there is a unique opportunity I want to present you." He paused before saying, "Marry me."
To say I was shocked is an understatement. Not only had I not had sex with a male but was not interested in men at all. Plus, he was old. I was stunned. He waited for me to say something. I finally said, "Why would I do that? I don't know you."
"I am going to die soon. I am not guessing about that. I want someone to take over my business. I believe in you. I will give you money to develop your security sensor firm, complete freedom to do that, and not get in your way. Our firm will provide all the expertise you need. You get to keep most of that business. Far more than if we are just the angel investor."
"What are you getting? Look I realize you couldn't want me for sex. I know I am an unappealing bitch."
He said, "Exactly. Oh, I may want to fuck you occasionally, but I have professionals for that. No, I want you to leave me alone to my vices. What I want is for someone to take over my portion of the investment business when I pass. You will never change the name of the firm. You will also take care of my children but force them to be responsible citizens. While I don't want them to have all this money, I want them cared for. In short, you take care of my interest and you get funding for your business and retain ownership. This is more a business transaction than a marriage."
I said, "I need a couple of days to consider this. Just to be clear what happens if I say no."
"Then we go to war over how much of your future security sensor business we take from you in return for our investment and business expertise."
After a couple of days of very hard consideration, I did the obvious. I married him. The business was incorporated as Ricci Sensors (RS).
The marriage that made me a rich uncaring bitch
