Henry Patrickson sat at his desk, staring at the bank statements in front of him. He had lost so much money in the robbery, far more than he could ever afford to lose. And as the reality of the situation sank in, he felt his rage building. He began to tremble, his fists clenched so tight that his knuckles turned white. He stood up, knocking over his chair, and began to pace back and forth, his breath coming in gasps.He started to smash things, throwing books and papers across the room, kicking over furniture.Finally, he stopped, panting and sweating, his heart pounding in his chest. And as the rage subsided, he was left with a deep sense of shame. He had lost control, acting like a child instead of a man."Leo, you bastard!" Henry seethed, his voice hoarse with rage. "You took everything from me! You took my wife, my money, my reputation! And now you've taken my dignity, with your little puppet, Melissa. I swear I'll make you pay for this! You'll regret the day you ever crossed me!"

Henry was filled with anger that was covering his eyes from seeing the world clearly. All he wanted now was to do things his own way, to make things work in a quick and faster way.He opened his drawer and pulled out a small sheet of paper which had some numbers scribbled down on it.He dialed the number on his phone and put a call across the contact.“I knew you would call.” The person at the other end started.“I'm up for the deal.” Henry said after ignoring the statement made by the other man.“(cracks into a laughter) what deal?” The man asked Henry as he found that statement very funny.“Stop beating around the bush. You know what I am talking about. I'm in for the discussion we had the last time we met.” Henry replied.“I've heard you.” The man replied.“Dennis, stop joking around please. So, is it still open? I'm fully ready for whatever you need me to do.” Henry replied with a desperate tone.“You are not serious, or are you?” Dennis asked him again with a serious voice now.

He pushed away his friends and family, convinced that he was doing what was best for them. But as he became more and more isolated, he started to feel the weight of his actions, the emptiness of his life. And yet, he still couldn't stop himself, couldn't give up the quest for money and power.It was as if he was trapped in a cycle, unable to break free from the chains of his own making. He was caught in a web of his own design, and he couldn't find a way out. He felt like a prisoner in his own life, trapped by his own decisions and desires. He was a slave to his own ambitions, a slave to his own greed. And as the days and weeks and months passed, he felt himself sinking deeper and deeper into despair. He felt the darkness closing in around him, and he couldn't see a way out."I don't understand it," Melissa said, her voice full of confusion. "It's like a miracle. How did they manage to turn things around so quickly?"Leo shook his head, still trying to wrap his mind around the situati

Soon, Leo and Melissa sat down and the coronation began. Some people at the back muttered. "How old is he?" They asked among themselves. "Isn't he too young to be a prime minister?" "The king is obviously being sentimental here, making his daughter's love interest the prime minister." They continued to gossip. However, that wasn't the case. He did this because he believed that Leo's kind, determined and creative mind was what the country needed for better development. The gossip and mutters didn't help. The Royal house had made its decision and no one could oppose it especially when there was really nothing against Leo. He had no history of crime or law opposition. "Let us to Rise to our new Prime Minister, Mr. Leo Luke." The moderator of the coronation commanded. Everyone rose to their feet, including the king to pay his respect. Steve, the king's brother and Prince Colton were present. They had to be for they were royalty and tradition demanded they were present. They stood

Leo and Melissa went home exhausted. They stayed through the whole event, then the after party. Leo had to meet and greet all the top men of the country who were at the occasion. "Alas!" Leo said as he fell to the bed with a deep sigh. His fiancé laughed at him. "Is this how tired you'll always be when you come back from work?" She asked him. "You have no idea." He replied. "Well, you need to take off your clothes and have a shower." She advised. Leo sat up and took a deep breath then followed her towards the bathroom. He couldn't wait to have his goodnight sleep. He thought to himself that he finally had everything he dreamt up. A good partner, a high ranking job. The kind of job he never dreamt of. He was finally at peace. Little did he know that his enemies had come up with new ways to destroy him.***At Henry's house***Clara was on the bed, not asleep. She had a lot on her mind and couldn't wait for him to come in, so she could spill it all out. After Henry was done with
