Romeo paced the length of the hallway, with his mind churning with conflicting thoughts.

With a determined shake of his head, he made his way back into Helen's room, where she lay in the dim light, her eyes were filled with questions.

"I need to go out for a bit," Romeo said, trying to keep his voice steady. Helen's eyes widened with worry, but she simply nodded.

As Romeo dressed quickly, his mind was already mapping out the quickest route to the Asterion Hotel.

He left Helen's apartment and descended the stairs, with each step echoing with the weight of his decision.

The cool night air greeted him as he stepped outside, and he hailed a taxi with a swift wave.

Inside the cab, Romeo pulled out his phone and dialed Anna's number. The phone rang twice before she answered.

"Hello, Anna, where do I meet you?" he asked, his voice was low and controlled.

"Room 165, VIP lodge," she responded, sounding unexpectedly calm.

The drive to the hotel was swift, the city lights blurred past the win

    Anna swallowed hard, her voice was trembling as she spoke. "No one else, I swear. I... I only found out because I was desperate to understand why you left me. I pieced together the clues, did some thorough research but I haven't told anyone."Romeo's grip on the gun tightened, as his mind was whirling with possibilities. Trusting her could be a fatal mistake, but the raw sincerity in her eyes gave him pause. He could feel the weight of his decision pressing down on him, knowing that whatever he chose to do at this moment could have far-reaching consequences."You better be telling the truth," he said with a cold and unyielding voice. "If I find out you're lying, you'll regret it."Anna nodded quickly, as her eyes never left the gun. "I promise, Romeo. I came to you for help, not to expose you. Please, you have to believe me."Romeo's mind raced as he lowered the gun slightly, though he kept it ready. He studied her face, searching for any sign of deceit. The room was thick with tens

    Romeo's office in the Governor's palace was very different from the tension-filled room he had just left. The expansive space was decorated with military precision, its walls adorned with maps and strategic plans of Yilaburg. The large mahogany desk at the center was cluttered with files and reports, which showed the unending flow of administrative duties he had to manage. Romeo sat behind the desk, his demeanor was calm and authoritative. Across from him stood Commissioner Jonathan Steele, a tall, lean man with a sharp gaze and a no-nonsense attitude. He was the Commissioner for Finance and Commerce, a critical position given Yilaburg's reliance on trade and industry.The atmosphere in the room was tense but professional as they reviewed the latest intelligence report. Romeo's eyes scanned the document, absorbing the details of the Harte Boer rebels' activities."Governor, the situation is becoming untenable," Steele began, as his voice steady but laced with concern. "The Harte

    General Wahsler stood in front of Romeo’s desk, with eyes that reflected the weight of countless battles. Despite his rugged appearance, his bearing was that of a seasoned warrior."Can I have a seat?"Romeo gestured to a nearby chair. "Oh yes, please have a seat, General."Wahsler nodded appreciatively and took the offered seat, sinking into it with a weariness that spoke of long travels. Romeo moved to a small refrigerator behind his desk, retrieving a bottle of fine wine and two glasses. He poured the wine, and the rich aroma filled the room."Would you care for a drink, General?" Romeo asked, extending a glass to Wahsler.Wahsler accepted the glass with a grateful nod. "Thank you, Governor." He took a sip, savoring the taste, before setting the glass down gently on the desk. "It’s been a while since I’ve had a moment to enjoy a good wine."Romeo returned to his seat, his expression softened as he regarded Wahsler. "So, General, how has governing Yilaburg been since you were appo

    They exchanged quick glances, clearly recognizing the tone and the slang. The recognition brought an immediate shift in their demeanor."Sir, yes, sir!" one of the bouncers stammered, stepping back and saluting. His voice, which had been filled with disdain moments ago, was now filled with respect. "Right away, sir."The other bouncer, equally taken aback, quickly followed suit, stepping aside to allow Romeo through. "Apologies, head honcho Stormbreaker. We didn’t recognize you, sir."The mocking guests, who had been laughing and jeering just moments before, were now dumbfounded and clueless. They didn’t understand a word of what Romeo had said, but the abrupt change in the bouncers' behavior was impossible to miss."What just happened?" a man in a designer suit muttered to his companion, as his voice was filled with confusion."I have no idea," the woman in the elegant gown replied, with a bewildered tone. "But whatever he said, it worked.""Zip it, stay frosty, and hold the line."

    Romeo maintained his calm demeanor as he replied nonchalantly, "I came for the book launch."Mrs. Davidson's eyes flashed with anger. "You? Here? For this event?" She spat the words out with contempt. "You are not supposed to be here for several reasons. First, you don't belong in this circle of elites. Second, you have no respect for the exclusivity of this event. Third, your appearance is a disgrace, and fourth, you have no invitation."Romeo raised his hands in a gesture of peace. "Mrs. Davidson, please calm down. I didn't mean to be a nuisance.""Get out of my grand hall, now," Mrs. Davidson ordered, her voice seethed with anger.A good number of guests watched the confrontation unfold, and their expressions ranged from disdain to mild amusement. Many looked at Romeo with a disregarding gaze, judging his carefree appearance and seeming lack of self-respect as Mrs. Davidson berated him. They saw him as someone who didn't deserve any respect, especially after tolerating such a pub

    Mrs. Davidson, who was caught off guard by Don Francisco's direct address, hesitated for a moment before raising a trembling hand and pointing toward the back of the hall. "There," she stammered with a voice that was barely audible. "He is sitting right there."Don Francisco's eyes followed her finger until they landed on Romeo, who sat with a puzzled look on his face. The room fell into an uneasy silence as Don Francisco motioned subtly to his men who were stationed discreetly around the hall. Instantly, they moved with swift precision towards Romeo.Romeo's scowl deepened as he saw the men approaching him. Confusion mingled with a growing sense of alarm, and he instinctively stood up and took a step back, only to find his path blocked by another of Don Francisco's men.

    Romeo sat beside Linda, who lay on the hospital bed, with a drip connected to her arm. Her eyes were red from crying, and her voice was weak."So my mother really killed our daughter?" she asked, her lips were trembling."Yes, love," Romeo answered softly. "She hated the fact that a broke man like me was living in her house, married to her most beautiful daughter."Linda’s face twisted in pain. "She…she’s so cruel. How could she ensure that a newborn baby—her own grandchild—was brutally killed? My baby..." Her voice broke as tears streamed down her cheeks.Romeo gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "It’s okay, love. Don’t worry about that now," he whispered, trying to soothe her. "It’s over. We’ll get through this."She let out soft sobs, but after a while, Romeo’s comforting touch calmed her. Her crying slowed, and she rested her head on his chest."If my mother hadn’t taken her own life, I would have strangled the life out of her myself," Linda fumed. "How could sh

    Joseph Schultz took a deep breath before continuing his testimony, the weight of his words heavy in the silent courtroom. “However, Your Honor,” he began, “that is not her only sin. Mrs. Davidson was also responsible for the cyber attack on NovaTech, which caused the company to lose billions of dollars. This attack led to the tragic death of Miss Chen, the CEO of NovaTech, who took her own life after the collapse of her business.” Gasps filled the room as the people listened in shock. The judge leaned forward slightly. “What evidence do you have to prove this, Mr. Schultz?” Joseph reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flash drive. “I have a voice recording, Your Honor. This recording captures Mrs. Davidson speaking with the computer experts who carried out the heist.” “Can we hear it?” the judge asked, his voice calm but firm. Joseph nodded and handed the flash drive to a court officer, who inserted it into a laptop. Moments later, the sound of Mrs. Davidson’s voice fill

The air was heavy as the judge looked down at her from his high seat. His voice was firm and clear."Mrs. Davidson," the judge began, "you are charged with corruption, murder, and coercion. ?"Mrs. Davidson raised her head, and her voice was strong. "Not guilty, Your Honor. I deny all these charges."Mrs. Davidson’s eyes flashed with anger as she raised her voice, refusing to stay calm in this matter. Her hands were clenched at the sides of the podium, her knuckles were white with tension."These accusations are absurd!" she spat, her voice was venomous. "I have worked my whole life to build my company from the ground up. I would never stoop to murder, corruption, or coercion! This is nothing but a disgusting attempt to ruin my reputation!"Her words echoed through the courtroom, and people shifted in their seats, taken aback by her sudden aggression."Y

    Two black bullet proof SUV vehicles pulled up in front of the hospital were Helen was. The doors opened, and General Romeo Stormbreaker stepped out. He didn’t wait for his security detail. His mind was only on Helen. He rushed toward the emergency department, with his military boots hitting the ground fast and hard.Without his usual moustache, the citizens nearby didn’t recognize him. Some glanced at him, confused by his familiar face, but they didn’t know who he was. Romeo ignored them and hurried through the hospital’s front doors, his eyes were scanning the area.“Where is the emergency department?” he asked the receptionist, his voice was tense.“Down the hall, first door to the left,” she quickly replied.Romeo followed her directions, walking fast. As he reached the entrance of the ward, he saw Helen’s mother, father, and sister waiting in the corner. They looked nervous, pacing back and forth. But when they saw him—dressed in his general's uniform—their eyes widened in shoc

    General Romeo Stormbreaker’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at Linda, who had fainted on the floor. He pointed to the soldiers near him.“Take her to the hospital,” he ordered, as his voice was sharp. “Make sure she receives the best treatment.”Without hesitation, two soldiers rushed to Linda’s side. They carefully lifted her from the ground and carried her out of the hall, moving quickly yet gently, as the crowd looked on in tense silence.The atmosphere in the room thickened.

    A quiet knock interrupted Linda’s thoughts. She turned her head towards the door and sighed.“Come in,” she called, expecting maybe a servant or a guest looking for a quiet moment.To her surprise, two men in military uniforms stepped inside. Linda’s eyebrows furrowed, her eyes were questioning their sudden appearance.“Madam Linda,” one of the soldiers said firmly, “your presence is needed in the celebration hall.”Her confusion deepened. “What happened? Why is my presence needed? I just left there a few moments ago.”The soldier straightened. “Those are General Stormbreaker’s orders.”Linda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “General Stormbreaker?” she repeated, her heart skipping a beat.“Yes, madam. General Stormbreaker,” confirmed the soldier.Without a word, Linda stood up, her legs started feeling heavier with each step as she moved towards the door.

    Joseph Schultz gave a nervous laugh and quickly waved his hands. “Come on, boss. Don’t give me that look, I’m just kidding.”Mrs. Davidson frowned. “Are you mocking me?” she asked sharply, as her eyes narrowed.“No, no,” Joseph replied, shaking his head. “Come on, Mrs. Davidson, don’t take this too seriously. There’s no way that trash ex-son-in-law of yours is anything important, now or in the future.”Mrs. Davidson's gaze softened slightly, but her voice remained cold. “You’re very lucky you’re not mocking me,” she warned, as her tone was full of danger. “If you were, you’d be met with bitter consequences.”She brushed past him and moved toward the crowd, who were once again celebrating as if nothing had happened.Meanwhile, Linda slipped away quietly, her mind was spinning after everything that had happened.

He thinks he the prince and heir to the throne of the kingdom now!"The crowd murmured and giggled, casting amused glances at Romeo.

He must have lost his mind!"Another woman shook her head and whispered to her companion, "Poor Romeo. He’s always been a troublemaker. Now he’s making up stories to sound important."Mrs. Davidson stepped closer to Romeo, her eyes were gleaming with cruel delight. "Oh, Romeo,
