The Davidson estate buzzed with activity as preparations for Mr. and Mrs. Davidson's thirtieth wedding anniversary were underway. The mansion's grand halls were adorned with elegant decorations, with shimmering fairy lights twinkling against the backdrop of lush floral arrangements. A team of chefs bustled about in the expansive kitchen, preparing a sumptuous feast fit for the occasion.Outside, the grounds were transformed into a breathtaking spectacle, with marquee tents erected to accommodate the guests. A team of decorators meticulously arranged tables and chairs, while gardeners tended to the blooming flower beds, adding a touch of natural beauty to the festivities.While preparations were going on, Mr Davidson was getting dressed for church because since Mr Davidson was overly religious, he saw it as something of great importance for the blessings of their marriage to be renewed by the priest, however the door to his bed chamber was opened."Good morning Mr Davidson." The ser
"But what has Romeo done to deserve all this insult." Mr Davidson asked. He was not happy with the way Romeo was insulted. "And Andrew, why is it that you have developed the habit of picking on Romeo anytime you have the chance to?""Come on Mr Davidson. Before you make me look like the villian here can't you see how haggard he looks, his wounds are not even dressed properly, just take a look at how his blood is dripping from the bandage that he tied on his left arm."Kingsley Philz chimed in, "Exactly, Mr. Davidson. Romeo's neglect of his own well-being is not only irresponsible but also concerning. It's appalling to witness his disregard for basic hygiene and safety, even amongst elites like us.""Gentlemen I must confess, this church rat is truly in the habit of disregarding his self hygiene."Douglas Fullmer added, "Andrew is right. If I must be straight young man, if I can process what Andrew is getting at right now, it seems like you have a huge problem with your self esteem and
"I begged you for money, not for myself, but for your own grandchild, for your daughter's life, but you treated my plea with levity.""It seems you are high on wine today, because my daughter is still alive today and in the hands of a man who is a thousand times better than you are.""So you do justify your late and reluctant response to my plea for full support even when my daughter, your grandchild was dead because of it you old haggard witch."Mrs Davidson made a move to slap Romeo once more but this time, he restrained her by holding her hand.Extreme shock was evident in her eyes. "How dare you." She muttered under breath.Romeo frowned his face, shooting a malevolent stare at Mrs Davidson. "Never ever think that heaven would smile upon you for the things you have done. You are free to antagonise me as many times as you wish, but be rest assured of this, that your seeds of wickedness would hunt you down someday."With that said, he shoved her hand aside, turned around and began h
"Oh, Andrew is coming, and he doesn't look too happy that I am with you." Linda said after noticing the grim look on her husband's face as she could see him walking towards them. Upon that, Linda quickly reached for her purse and removed a bundle of cash and handed them over to Romeo."Take, this is six thousand dollars, use this to take care of yourself."Romeo furrowed his eyebrows, he was not expecting this. "Oh good Lord, yet again? But why is she doing this?" Romeo thought."I don't have time, I know you need this money, and I would not take no for an answer." Upon noticing his hesitant demeanour, she dragged his hand and forced it into his hand.After that she turned to meet her husband so as to avoid any confrontation or further embarassment being dished out on Romeo.As Andrew approached with determined strides, Linda swiftly positioned herself between him and Romeo, her movements fluid yet deliberate. With a gentle but firm hand on Andrew's chest, she implored him, her voic
A palpable wave of dread and terror swept over Andrew as he watched the scene unfold before him, his heart pounded in his chest with a sense of impending doom.Despite Linda releasing her grip on him out of fear, Andrew remained rooted to the spot, paralyzed by a combination of shock and disbelief. So no, Andrew could not get close to Romeo, he didn't dare.Both men were on a standstill. Andrew knew he had lost because he aware of the drastic consequences of Romeo's anger upon him and confronting him or engaging in a duel with him wasn't worth the risk.As the tension reached its peak, three military personnel, distinguished by their sharp uniforms and authoritative demeanor, approached the scene, their expressions were stern yet composed."Excuse me, gentlemen," one of them spoke, his voice commanded attention as he addressed Andrew and Romeo. "We need both of you to calm down and step back."Andrew, still reeling from the confrontation, nodded silently, his eyes darted nervously be
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting an orange glow over the Freisberg River, the silhouette of Lord Baines' massive shipment emerged from the mist. The ship, aptly named "Der Stolz," which meant "the pride," in English loomed like a behemoth against the backdrop of the waterway. Its steel hull glistened under the fading light, a testament to its strength and durability.On board, a buzz of activity filled the air as staff and engineers moved about, ensuring everything was in order for the journey ahead. Crates of crude oil, obtained from the vast reserves of the Yilaburg region, were carefully stacked into the vessel, as the ship was on its way to Lord Baines' refinery."This batch of crude is top-notch," remarked one of the engineers, wiping sweat from his brow as he inspected the containers. "We'll have no trouble refining it into high-quality fuel."A colleague nodded in agreement, adding, "And with Der Stolz at our disposal, we'll get it to the refinery in record
"What!" Lord Baines exclaimed upon hearing the news concerning the fate of his vessel. "This…this cannot be.""I am telling you sir, I speak the truth. Der Stolz was set ablaze, and all men onboard lost their lives." His personal assistant conveyed the message with disappointment, disgust and frustration evident on his features."Oh God…My ship…my oil…my billions of dollars."Lord Baines collapsed into his chair, his once stern countenance now twisted in anguish. Tears streamed down his face, mingling with the creases of despair etched into his skin. His hands trembled as he clutched the edge of his desk, the weight of his losses crushed his spirit."My ship...destroyed," he whispered hoarsely, his voice barely audible amidst the turmoil of emotions raging within him. The flames that consumed his ship mirrored the inferno raging in his heart, consuming everything he had worked for, everything he had built.As the minutes stretched into eternity, a heavy silence enveloped the room,
