Romeo reached Linda and greeted her. "Hey Linda, how are you?"Linda was still trembling. "Have you seen the news?" she asked."What news?" Romeo asked, as his eyebrows were raised."About Andrew…he…he committed suicide."Romeo’s eyes widened in shock. "Oh my God, are you serious?""And it was because of me," Linda’s voice cracked. "I killed Andrew. I never should have agreed to the divorce. For goodness’ sake, I never even wanted the three hundred and twenty-five million dollars they gave me as alimony."Romeo stepped closer and gently wrapped his arms around her. "Come on, Linda," he said softly, holding her tightly. "Don’t say that. You’re nothing like a killer. Everyone knows Andrew never treated you right from the start. You had to divorce him. And remember, he killed himself—you had nothing to do with his death."Linda rested her head against his chest, feeling his arms around her, which was warm and protective. The sweet scent of his cologne, even on his worn suit, calmed her
Mrs. Davidson stared at Romeo for a moment, her lips started twitching. Then, she suddenly burst out laughing. The sound echoed in the hall, it was loud and mocking. Her laughter was high-pitched and cruel, and soon, some of the people in the crowd began to join in, chuckling and whispering to each other."General Romeo Stormbreaker?" Mrs. Davidson said between fits of laughter, wiping away fake tears from her eyes. "Oh, this is just priceless! Do you hear him, everyone? He thinks he the prince and heir to the throne of the kingdom now!"The crowd murmured and giggled, casting amused glances at Romeo. One man in the back chuckled and said to his friend, "Isn't that Linda’s ex husband? The guy from the streets? 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,
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. She headed up the stairs to her room, still inside the mansion, her footsteps were slow and heavy.When she reached her room, she closed the door behind her and leaned against i
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. The two soldiers flanked her as they walked down the long hallway towards the celebration hall. Her thoughts raced—General Stormbreak
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. Every person in the hall felt the weight of the moment. Romeo Stormbreaker—once thought to be a humble and poor ex-husband—was now revealed as not just a powerful man, but as the most dangerous man in Mondosh. The tension was almost unbearable.As the soldiers left with Linda, Romeo slowly turned his gaze towards Mrs. Davidson, who stood frozen in the corner of the room. His eyes were filled with years of anger, hatred, and the promise of revenge.Mrs. Davidson’s face paled even more as his eyes locked onto
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
It was trial day for Mrs Davidson and in the courtroom, Mrs. Davidson stood before the judge, and her face was tight with tension. 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
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
