Eleanor walked sluggishly into the room, having received the info of their flight back to Chicago. She never wanted to return to a clingy and busy environment like her home in Chicago.Romsey sat, his face buried in a newspaper, "The Times," which sounded more different, more subdued, more questioning than it used to be. Even the looks on the guards' faces were different, except for Robson, who was happy that he would reunite with his wife and daughter.Romsey dropped the paper on the table, looking at Eleanor. "You didn't tell me everything you wanted to," he said. She smiled. "You will find out more, young master," her face showing a mixture of pleasure and turmoil.She thought of the strict nature of her father, who would always insist that she take over one of the mini-companies. Eleanor preferred having personal time at the beach, her leisure time playing the piano and, of course, reading novels, her favorite being the urban genre where several male leads get humiliated by female

Today was the day they would embark on their journey, and anticipation hung in the air.Romsey was dressed in a striking blue suit that exuded sophistication and class. The suit, a custom creation from a top designer, was rumored to have cost a highl fortune of $100,000, with every detail meticulously crafted to perfection. The fabric was the finest wool, sourced from the most exclusive mills, and the cut was so precise it seemed as though it had been tailored to his body alone. His tie was a masterpiece from a renowned Italian designer, its rich colors and stylish patterns catching the light with his every movement.On his feet, Romsey wore a pair of handmade Italian leather shoes, a limited edition design from a luxury brand that commanded a hefty price tag of $180,000. The shoes were a statement piece,

Romsey's flight arrived timely at the Chicago airport, a new phase of his life was about to begin, when the pilot's voice cracked over the intercom."Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to land, please prepare for arrival."Romsey glanced out the window, anticipation bubbling within him as the sprawling city came into view.The plane touched down smoothly, and as the door opened, Romsey turned to Eleanor, his step-sister. "Ladies first, dear," he gestured for her to take the lead. She turned in with a calm and welcoming smile.Romsey and his entourage of guards stepped onto the tarmac, the air was filled with the scent of fuel and excitement as they were greeted by a flurry of activity."Welcome back, Mr. Romsey and Miss. Eleanor," the pilot said, stepping forward to shake their hands. "I hope you had a pleasant flight?""Thank you, Captain," Romsey replied, his voice tinged with excitement. "It's quite comfortable." Eleanor smiled warmly at the pilot. Their arrival was not without a s

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Maybach sped through the streets of Chicago, leaving behind the chaos and danger of the ambush. Romsey sat in the backseat, his heart still racing from the shock of the escape. Robson, focused and determined, expertly drove through the traffic, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger."How long will it take, Rob? Romsey asked, his voice tinged with fear. Not long after his phone blared from the floor of the car, it had fallen from the owner's seat, he picked it up.Hello! A deep unsettling voice sounded from the other side, it was Baron Spears, his father. What's the situation right now, son? His voice breaking as he breathed harder, Romsey could hear from the phone that the shocking news had been related to him. "We're closer to the house, Dad! Romsey cut in instantly, his heart heaving."I've informed the police, I personally told my wife to go there with all the securities, but she decided not to listen". He stammered. Jus

Romsey turned in shock to his Dad "You can't tell me that I'll have to allow these ladies bathe a grown-ass man like me," Romsey took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, his eyes fixed on the ladies who were waiting for him to take the first step."Here, you're treated as royalty, and that's why we prepared these nymphs to take care of you," Mr. Spears replied with a smile that made the unchanged parts of his teeth show."No way, dad! Come on, I can handle that myself," he replied calmly.He moved towards his room, and the ladies followed him. The tall, dark-skinned one had a white towel in her hands; it sparkled as it dangled, showing it to be new."You'll all have to wait out here," Romsey turned with a sharp gaze to the women who were waiting to follow him into the room."It's our duty to ensure you're taken care of, young master.""Okay, tell me, is there any of you who is married here?" Romsey asked in a tone that scoffed a little."Of course, I am!" the dark lady winked. "And yo

After dinner, Romsey waved goodbye to his Dad and step-mother before returning to his room. Aurelia was still in her room and didn't come down till it was very late when the others had retired to bed. She strolled out almost like a peep, sitting lazily on the sofa. Immediately, Genevieve her younger sister joined her, she sat very close to her, Aurelia caressed her cornrows; she really liked to to do that, playing with her sisters long punny tails. Tracing the strands of hair from different parts of her scalp, then she meshed and tied them together. Genevieve sat on the lower part of the chair, hugging a big pink teddy bear that seemed to contrast with her slim stature, leaning her head to its soft hairy body."Why did you walk away from the table?" Genevieve broke the silence, turning her head with a blank stare at her sister's face. The silence in Aurelia's mouth lingered as though the words were heavy but then she replied coldly. "You can't imagine Dad believing that crap that t

As the sun peeked over the horizon, casting a golden hue upon the city, Chicago came alive with its usual bustle and energy. The streets, usually bustling with activity, were now teeming with life as workers hurried to their jobs and pedestrians filled the sidewalks. The air was filled with the sounds of honking cars, ringing bells, and the chatter of people going about their daily routines. It was a typical morning in the vibrant city, a symphony of movement and noise that signaled the start of another bustling day.Back in Baron Spears Mansion, his house was located in the mastery areas where no noise is heard aside from that of birds and barking dogs, of roaring tamed lions and sounds of powerful car engines.Romsey woke up to a calm knock on his door. He rolled on the bed, then opened his eyes with a soft blink before getting off the bed. He stretched, reaching for the doorknob, turned it gently, and his eyes beheld a beauty in disguise."Good morning, young master," a woman greet

Romsey peeped through the door and saw that the dark maid had left. He walked lazily into the long hallway that led to the exit of the main building.Ellen rushed to him, her eyes wide with concern. "Good morning, young master," she greeted with bended knees. Romsey replied with a calm smile that showed how friendly he was."Morning, ma'am. How's it going?" Some maids who weren't aware of his true personality continued in their business of the day.A guy turned to another who was pruning flowers and asked, "Has the billionaire's son arrived in Chicago yet?" Romsey walked past them silently without notice. It was obvious that Baron Spears had authorized the commissioner for media not to publicize the ambush that had occurred during his arrival in Chicago, to aid the police in carrying out their investigation.Romsey waited, a sight caught his attention. It was a man slapping several other men brutally, the sound of the slap echoing through the hallway."Never hand things to me without

The pristine store, a fast growing warehouse, had all the dynasty items which were brought by top ranking researchers. Items in his warehouse were highly prized for their exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance, just like the Qianlong dynasty vase, other costly dynastic items costing millions of dollars each lined the writeups. "This can't be!! She flared up, throwing the paper back at Mr. Jumbo. " Do you think you can fool me or something? How on earth would only a vase worth a whopping $9 million?" She wailed, her lips curved as she screamed. "I wouldn't be in the rightful place to argue with you, ma," Mr. Jumbo exclaimed in anger. The policemen picking up the cost booklet widened his eyes, she couldn't believe that 50 items destroyed from a warehouse would amount to all of that, he walked up to mr. Jumbo with a calm gaze. "We will have to make investigations into this" He pleaded with a friendly tone trying to ease the pain in his eyes but then Mrs. Felic
CHAPTER 46: TROUBLED WATERS
Romsey was shocked. This wasn't what he expected, as she started to protest, her eyes widening "and where the hell is my daughter?" She screamed. All pleas from onlookers fell at deaf ears.Two minutes later Romsey found another way, looked down, what was her demand afterall? That he'll buy and replace the smashed car as well pay for her hospital bills" he was beyond that, but he needed to prove himself to her first."I apologise for all inconveniences, Ma" Romsey pleaded, his voice low, as the shop owner screamed from the other side."You'll have to fix up everything she has ruined here" Robson, bewildered by the shock of the moment, only stood in awe, his jaw dropped as words and whispers mixed in the air, all piercing through his ears. Romsey clears his throat "he was better off than this, only if his father had known but all the same, he wasn't going to call him into it""I'll bet you, ma, that this ain't a thing to yell and cause a scene" he turned to the woman who was still rai
CHAPTER 45: CASUALTY WITH THE YOUNG MASTER.
In a minute, Romsey receives a call, his ringtone blaring in the room. He turns with a sharp glance at the caller, but it seems like a strange number. Reluctantly, he picks up the call, but a male voice is heard over the noisy backdrop."You'll have to hurry down here, immediately. You're the last person this party conversed with!" The voice blares over the phone, and in seconds, it goes off.With trembling hands, he fumbles for his keys, his fingers slipping against the cold metal in his haste. The urgency in the air is palpable now, a sense of impending doom hanging heavy over him like a dark cloud. He can't shake the feeling that something terrible has happened."I'll have to excuse you for now," he says to Natt, who's staring at him. He mumbles a reply."Who was that? Some mummy's call to have you home, hmm?" Natt's brows raise.But then Romsey hurries towards the door, trouble setting in as he tries to track the caller's location, his fingers tapping on the phone hastily.Natt, b
CHAPTER 44: A TRAIL OF HUMILIATION FOR THE YOUNG MASTER
It was getting late and Robson was still on the road, evening descended upon Sen. Valerie's Crescent, a sense of intrigue hung in the air like a thick fog. Romsey, with his trusted ally Robson by his side, approached the imposing steel gate, its sleek surface glinting in the dim light."The gate code, Boss," Robson's voice broke through the silence. "Flash the headlight five times," Romsey replied, his voice steady and calm. The compound seemed to come alive as everything was made of artificial intelligence robots, the guards were few compared to those at the Spear's mansion.Rob parking in the designated area, Romsey's eyes scanned the scene before him. The Visitor's car park resembled a showroom, with rows of luxurious vehicles standing like silent sentinels. The compound seemed to have the same German-made car, no doubt it was said that the Stout family was known for their BMW heritage. Different models and series of the same car filled the car parks, each looking more sophistic
CHAPTER 43: ON THE ROAD TO IT.
In some minutes Ellen arrives at the mansion, her expression looked sullen and different, maybe because of the experience she had encountered with the so-named Prince, the charming Prince in Aurelia's life. Robson stepped out just at that moment with a glance on his face, he took off the dark pair of glasses he wore and slipped them into the pockets of his shorts as he approached her. "Hey Ellen" he laughed a bit as he walked closer. "You're back already?" He piped, hugging her warmly, a brief clapse of their bodies. Ellen barely allowed her sides meet his before she backed away. She was looking a bit different from the normal as she tipped without shoes.Robson turned to notice it, his eyes fixed in confusion, staring at her as he walked, the dress she wore seemed to be molded to complement her curves. He shook off the feeling that rang in his mind but then turned to follow her. "Excuse me, Ellen, how did it go?" He asked. "Not as planned, Rob" Ellen replied. "I thought it be
CHAPTER 42: A CLOSE SHOT.
"They might be arriving anytime soon!" he yells again as his secretary apologizes, not knowing his fault in the matter at hand."Fix up the files, ensure all documents are neatly covered, leave no loophole," Lucas's words settle on deaf ears as his secretary abandons the file on the desk.It was evening, and the sun's rays had shifted north, setting clouds over the sky. The night drew near like the day was speeding to its close.Ellen had finished her work for the day and set out for her mission. Her heart raced as she drove through the bustling streets of Chicago in search of the Gardener Inn. Her eyes turned right and left, glancing through the corners of the street.She couldn't imagine the weight of rejection and humiliation she'd received from Aurelia.The package sat in the passenger seat as she turned to it at intervals.In some minutes, she arrived at the inn. Her eyes scanned the grand facade and finishes that spoke of luxury and opulence. She slipped her fingers into the pack
CHAPTER 41: THE MAIDEN'S FORTUNE.
The lady at the door greeted Aurelia with a profound smile, a contrast to what Aurelia had expected of her that morning. "What's it?" Aurelia's voice dripped with disdain, "What is the meaning of this interruption?""I-I beg your pardon, my lady," the lady stammered, offering the parcel with trembling hands, "A man at the gate insisted I deliver this to you." Her tone was calm but her voice was shaky. Aurelia's eyes narrowed as she inspected the package before her. With a dismissive wave of her hand, she spat, "Take it away. I want nothing from the likes of you. Your filthy hands have tainted it."But then, the lady maintained her posture. " I apologize for that, Ma" Her heart sank as she retreated from the room, her cheeks burning with humiliation. As she reached her modest quarters tucked away in a corner of the vast compound, she sank onto her bed, tears stinging her eyes.Ellen's quarters were a three-bedroom apartment, nicely arranged on the third floor of the worker's quarters
CHAPTER 40: SHIFTING CLOSER TO HIS DUTY.
The next day came with its surprise. The morning sun filtered through the royal curtains, casting warmth over the Spear's mansions. Aurelia's opulent bedroom was not spared as light rays peeped through windows. She stretched from her giant bed, almost the size of a swimming pool, then turned and yawned, her hands pressing on the calling bell, summoning her maids who rushed into her room, filling the room with activity."Hello Ma," a beautiful lady smiled at her. "Would you mind if we take off your clothes and give you a warm bath?"She took some minutes and then, replied, "Cold bath, please." The maid nodded as they gathered around her, changing her from her nighties.Downstairs, the dining table was set and adorned with an extravagant spread fit for the upper class. Delicate dishes were tasted by the family's nutritionist to ensure they had all the desired nutrients as they filled the golden table.The aroma of a variety of delectable dishes filled the air, from fluffy pancakes toppe
CHAPTER 39: A TWIST OF FATE.
Romsey dashed back into the room, his forehead creased with worry, a stark contrast to his earlier jovial demeanor. As he entered the hallway leading to Mr. Spears' bedroom, he doubled over, panting with urgency. Knocking on the door, he pushed it open, finding his father engrossed in a newspaper."Dad, how could you?" Romsey's voice held a polite but firm edge. "How could you summon her to my room without a second thought?"Mr. Spears let the newspaper slip from his fingers onto the table, his expression shifting to one of concern. "Sit, son," he gestured, trying to soothe Romsey's agitation.With a heavy sigh, Romsey sank into a plush brown leather sofa, his gaze locked on his father, who struggled to find the right words to ease the tension of the moment."My son, I thought I was giving you the best gift possible. Her father, Senator Stout Mill, is a man of impeccable reputation," Mr. Spears explained, his attempt at reassurance falling flat.Romsey's features tightened, his eyes n
