Lady Agatha had decided to lay low for a while, but the anonymous caller had lifted the dejected woman's mood.

Perhaps all is not lost, and there is a way of saving El Ramon from the hand of that witch lady.

Though she knew she will be taking a great risk by putting her faith in a stranger, knew that the best thing to do in this situation is to remain still and pray for the best. However, the risk of not having another chance to fight for her love made her throw caution into the wind.

The cautious may not make mistakes but they never get things done. Because of this, lady Agatha knew she must be ready to take her fate into her hand. Or else, she must be prepared to say bye to El Ramon and everything that he stood for.

Perhaps she had been lenient in her dealing with her. Since she had now proved that only death can separate her from El Ramon, and because that was her wish, lady Agatha had vowed to grant it to her.

"What if you fail to eradicate her?" Her subconscious asked in a shr

Johji Inn became deafening with applause, as the musician bowed and stepped off the podium. A moment later, the silence that had descended after the earth-gripping song upgraded into an uproar as a fight suddenly boomed out in the section meant for liquor drinkers. "Did you dare insult my father and called him a goat?" "Yes. I called him a goat but not as an insult." "I beg your pardon. Calling a man a goat is an insult, and when the man happens to be my father, then I have no choice but to fight for his honour." "Be still. A goat means; great of all time and not an animal." "In that case, avoid unnecessary abbreviations when talking to me.

    After what appeared like a long time of depressing outcomes, a glimpse of hope emerged for the foreigners, when Onishi called to inform them of the success of his mission, and the plan to send the first batch of mercenaries down to Greenwich island. Only one thing remains, raising money for their movement and weapons.To solve this problem, the Country P's merchants were seen in their usual seats discussing the way out. "Thanks to Onishi, we now have a choice and won't rely on El Ramon to supply us with his mafias to strengthen our security," Aries let out. "Yes. But we need money to finance their coming here and for weapons," Priest announced, paused and resumed his speech," we have no more cash in our treasury and I have spent all my money as well. How are we going to raise this money?" "The only worthy thing we have is our gems with you. Since we are no longer contracting the black ninjas, for now, I suggest we find sales for them."

    As expected, lady Agatha couldn't sleep through the night as she tossed from one end of the mattress to the other side, in expectation of the call from the man who claimed he is from the foreigners. After Amara's confession, the thoughtful-looking woman had realized how vulnerable she is, as long as Andrea is alive. Thanks to the anonymous caller, how will she have realized her life is at stake? Informing El Ramon is futile, as lady Agatha was fully aware that he will always support Andrea, no matter the volume of the evidence against her. Her only hope lies in seeking help from the outsider, though she wasn't sure how he could help her in this circumstance. But then, if the caller had been so knowledgeable to the extent he knew of the plan to poison her, he shouldn't be belittled.

    Since Priest is not at the meeting hall, Barrymore decided to check him in his section of the headquarters, and the sound of his shoe echoed as he sauntered through the long corridor. After knocking, and being asked to come in, Barrymore opened the wooden door, walked into the well-furnished parlour and seat in front of the two men who stare at him as he bowed to greet them. "Welcome. How was your journey?" "We were welcomed into a cosy room and offered a whole bottle of red wine. It was an amazing experience for us." "What is the message from the royal family, we didn't send you to go and drink wine, did we?" "Be kind to Barrymore," Priest informed Augur, smiled and stretched his hand towards the package that was dropped on the centre table in his front."Did El Ramon attend to you?" "No. A tough-looking guard with a barrel chest and a thunderous voice was asked to attend to us." "That must be Banjo." The priest announced, opened the sealed parchment and read through the contra

    After her conversation over the phone with Andrea, Jade can be seen smiling in front of a life-size mirror. "The image am seeing is prettier than me," she muttered, standing up from the stool in front of the mirror and stretching her body. A moment later, the frail-looking lady was dressed in a white backless top and mini-skirt, and a black handbag was hung over her shoulder as she stepped out of a well-furnished room, into a long corridor that is poorly lit. Men and ladies bowed at her as she passed through the corridor and emerged outside. Far off, various exquisite cars were crammed in the car park, and Jade stepped towards a blue-painted sports car, opened the car door and hopped into the driver's seat. Seconds later, the car engine became alive, and the thoughtful-looking lady drove out immediately after. Hours later, she passed through a toll gate that separates an island from the other one, into the busy city and got lost among the tall buildings and mansions that covered t

    The night was in deep darkness, because the sky was devoid of stars, and the tiny light from a torchlight lead the way and was followed by two mafias and the two newly employed ladies of service.Minutes later, they arrived in front of the big black gate, knocked thrice, and the smaller section of the gate was opened by a tough-looking mafia in a red uniform. "Welcome. Please come in, her majesty is waiting for you."The four newcomers stepped into the mafia's main palace, walked through the grassland and arrived in front of a gate that is guarded by another sect of mean-looking mafias. "We are here to see her majesty." "Welcome. Please drop all your weapons here and followed me." Various weapons that were made of iron were brought out of the hidden places and dropped beside a pole. "Any other weapons with you?" "None." "And the ladies?" "They don't have any weapons with them." "Hey... Look up. How come she resembles her majesty? Is she her younger sister?" "That's why we are

    To Andrea, Jade is an indispensable disaster. One that she had no choice but to clear the mess she just made. "Leave her here and take off," Andrea instructed the mafias who just brought Jade into the palace. "She is a dangerous lady, your majesty." "Don't worry about me. She looked frail and I doubt she is guilty as charged." "If you insist." "Where is the key to the handcuffs?" "Here with me. Have it, your majesty." "Thank you. Please let this remain a secret between the mafias and the ladies of attendance. We can't bear having the rumour of a crazy lady circulating on this island. It will affect our sales in Johji Inn." "I will inform my people never to say this out beyond the wall of Johji Inn." "Thank you. Tell your supervisor to come and meet me tomorrow morning. I have things to discuss with him." "It will be done. Your majesty." Andrea sighed when the mafias were out turned towards the silent lady and unlocked the handcuffs on her wrists. "You won't ask me why I kil

    The barrel chest man in charge of Johji Inn was seen in his office soliloquising alone. No doubt, his invitation to the palace is to rob him of the position that had brought him so much financial gain in a few weeks. Since whoever pays the piper dictates the tunes, the mafia had no choice but to obey the last order. But before then, there are incomplete tasks to be completed.After sighing and hissing for a long moment, he jerked the telephone on the table in his front closer, pressed some numbers on it, picked up the receiver and waited patiently as it ring on the other side of the line. "Hello, this is Omega from Johji Inn, who am I speaking with, please?" "This is Alpha. What did you have for us?" "I Am asked to resume at the palace tomorrow and am afraid I may not be posted back here, due to some unforeseen circumstances. Just want to inform you of this because of our previous discussion."

    The coronation proceeds the following day, and the wedding ceremony takes place three days later. Unfortunately, only one of the two suitors got married, while the other man was chained inside one of the cells in the dungeon. "Tell me how you start the fire that prompt your escape." "I send them out of the house with my continuous nagging and after hearing them lock the door at the other side, I raced into the kitchen, connect their oven to the socket and poured lots of dried papers inside. Then I dragged the cylinder of gas closer, lose it, and then hide inside the large freezer by the wall far off." "You take a great risk. What if you were burnt to death?" "He planned to kill me after all, so I decided to take my fate into my hands." "What happened afterwards."

Since I had been in darkness for a long time, I can see two men searching blindly for me, so I jerked up a heavy rod and w

  • OPPORTUNITY TO PAY BACK

    The dark witches were associated with evil, even before the reign of El Guje. And this was part of the reason why El Ramon was filled with anxiety as he alighted from the vehicle and was followed by his armed-to-the-teeth mafias."This place is filled with lots of bandits. Protect our prince with your lives." This order from the general is quite unnecessary because most of the bandits were probably shivering in their hideaways at the sight of the heavily armed mobs. And except for the sound of the rodents who scurried out of sight, the cock-a-doddle-do of the birds calling to their mates and the chirping of the insects searching for their breakfast, only the sound from the footsteps of the mafias seemed to be the disturbance to the serenity of that expanse forest. Moments later, the group arrived at the entrance of the dark witches' village, and all who set eyes on them scampered to the safety of their rooms. "Why are they running helter-skelter?" "Their previous experience in the

    The journey to their destination was fast by driving, and the team arrived in a few hours, disembarked and spread across the deserted mass of land."This is the place where he stand and gawked at the ruin of that building.""Check and look for any item that can reveal the identity of the owner of this place."Apart from the Prince, none of the mafias knew what they were searching for, and this made them unearth several burnt gadgets, showed them to the prince, and then looked more puzzled when he shakes his head sideways in response."Where did this path leads to?""To the end of the island. It is an uninhabitable area of rocky land and a dangerous creek. And if we turn left then we will be heading towards the dark witches' village.""Let's drive there."The men breathed with relief when they were ordered to leave their blind search, and they immediately hopped into the trucks and sped out of sight. The route was barely passable, filled with erosion water and a slippery slope, and th

    Only a fool will be sleeping when his or her house is on fire. El Ramon is no fool, and this is the reason why his eyes are unblinking as he welcomed Banjo into his parlour.After the usual salutation, the sleepy-looking mafia was permitted to seat down."You have my ears.""He left the palace, went to his house and spend an hour inside, emerged later and went into Johji Inn. And it was very late in the night when he left the Inn.""He didn't come to the palace, so I assumed he went back to his house.""No. He waddled inside the heavy rains for hours and was followed by my men who lagged some feet away.""Be quick. Where did he go after leaving the inn?""Towards the end of the city.""And then what?""Nothing.""What did you mean by nothing?""He arrived beside a burnt down house, gaped at it for a while, then walked back into Johji Inn and he is sleeping inside the liquor section as we are speaking.""When was the house burnt down?""Just of recent.

    Zuma ordered more liquors and was drunk than a skunk when the stars appeared for their night duties. After finishing the content in the last bottle in his front, he belched louder, placed his two palms on his thighs and stood up with a grunt. The inn was populated by the few night crawlers, and no one seemed to notice the man wobbling among the columns of chairs and tables, nor seemed to mind when he crashed into a table filled with empty bottles, staggered and fell, and then stood up and resumed his waddling. A moment later, he arrived at the outside of the Inn, breathed out loud with relief and walked closer to the gate side."It's already late, Honey. Come to my room and let me make love to you through the night.""I need a man that can penetrate me through the backside. It's been days since I experienced doggy style.""Spend the night with me for just a few dollars.""Is that not Zuma?""He looked like him.""Hey! Come here...What's wrong with you?"He ignored the invitations o

    The two guards attending to the pregnant woman in captivity were having the worst time of their lives."I want the water to be hot and not lukewarm. Please prepare another one for me-. And you, did you call this disgusting morsel a meal? Get it off my sight before I puked and prepare my a flavorful feast with lots of vegetables, fish and meats."The two men scrambled out of sight, and one promptly returned to inform her of the readiness of hotter water for her bathe."Holy Madona! Did you want to burn my skin?.. I need cool water to mix it, please."After fetching two more buckets, the man was appreciated with more scowl and nag as he hurried out of the presence of the bitter woman. "The food is done.""Thank you, I hope it was worth all the time I had spent waiting for it.""Huh!""Oh my gosh. This is worse than the previous meal... Please take it out of my sight and get me a jug of juice as you prepare me a sandwich."After hundreds of errands in a few hours, the two men slammed t

I don't know why he speaks with false tongue."El Ramon shrugged, stood up and let out, "go back to your room and remained indoors. As I warned earlier, don't accept anyone inside until I allow you to.""As your lordship wish,"Mafias and maids bowed as he strode through the palace corridor, and the grim on his face became less horrific suddenly."I am on my way to see you, my prince.""Here I am. Tell me about the progress.""Nothing yet. All this island was ransacked but we didn't see the subject."" Did you meet Zuma on your way in?""Yes. And he was as sad as doom and hardly noticed my presence.""He lied that he spend his night in his house when I have mafias watching his places and he hadn't stepped there since he left here yesterday.""Why will he tell an untruth over trivial things like t

    All Banjo's efforts to locate Andrea proved abortive, and after searching through the nook and cranny of the Inn, he shrugged, hissed and instructed some of the men at his back to go into the town and search for her. All the ladies of services claimed they haven't seen any stranger except for a lady who believed she saw someone in a black tuxedo and head scarf."Where is she?""I have no idea. She informed me she is a new worker here, and I advised her to stand on her feet and look for customers.""Did you see her after?""No.""Did she talk with anyone else?""Not sure. I was picked by a rich merchant and we were together afterwards.""Don't hesitate to inform any mafia around whenever you see her again.""I will. Did she steal something from the palace?""Worse than that.""Any bounty on her head."Banjo nodded his head, stepped closer to the lady and whispered, "she is supposed to get married to my best friend in two days.

I was ordered to remain indoors and not to attend to anyone until she comes back.""What kind of clothing did she wear?""An oversize black gown, scarf and black net... She was talking to herself and I believe she is on her way to search for Jade.""Gush!" El Ramon exclaimed, cast a killing look on the kneeling lady, shakes his head and announced, "I will be back for you. Remain indoors and don't attend to anyone."The lady was too shocked at his shrieking voice, and the prince did not care to wait for an answer, but breathed out loud and stormed out of his wife's room."Where is Banjo?""At the rear gate.""Call him for me now!"He was still fuming and walking from one end of his palace to the other end when Banjo strolled inside, bowed and let out, "here I am, my lord.""
