Romeo was inside the Yilaburg government building, seated comfortably on the governor's seat.This was a self proclaimed official day for Romeo and as such, he was adorned in a distinguished military uniform befitting his role as a general, it was an outfit that commanded authority. A thick mustache concealed his mouth, adding an air of gravitas. To enhance the illusion of age and wisdom, he wore subtle artificial skin with carefully crafted wrinkles. This facade was also to avoid recognition from some of the people he might have come across with his real face, in fact this was his official look as governor.Under this disguise, he attended official meetings, attended press conferences and even addressed the people of Yilaburg on television. This indomitable figure really had two faces.However, he delved into a stack of written petitions, with each page telling a tale of concerns echoing through the corridors of Yilaburg. His fingers moved with purpose, addressing issues in agric
"I am asking, do you recognise what I am holding in my fucking hand?" Romeo bellowed out angrily, slamming his right fist on his desk.This act caused John Hollser to shudder out of fear. He began to contemplate on weather or not he should lie to Romeo.The prince had known so much already, what of what use would it be to lie to him, seeing that he already resembled a wild bear."Yes…yes your highness, I recognise what you hold in your hand. It is Aetherium crystal."Soon the mayor began to cry. "Please your highness, do not persecute me for having that gemstone in my possession, I had been going through some financial challenges, coupled with that, I have been facing extreme pressure from members of my family and constituency." He mumbled as he shed tears. Funny enough, this grown up politician had mucous dripping from his nose. He had also wet his pants.All this made evident the aura of dominance and menace that came with presence of the Indomitable prince."How did you get it?""
"Long time my boy. How are you?""Fine Mr Davidson. I am doing great.""How is everything, your work? your marriage? I hope you are taking good care of my daughter?"Romeo didn't know how to reply his now ex father in law. The old man didn't have any idea that Romeo was no longer married to his daughter.However, Romeo who was unwilling to burst the bubble replied. "Fine sir. Everything is going fine. Your daughter is the best thing that ever happened to me.""Yes Romeo. I am happy to hear that. So I am back from my duties as ambassador to Navauria."Romeo looked surprised. "What happened? Your tenure isn't over. Did you resign?""Not yet. I just decided to have some rest. And I am down with cancer.""What?" Romeo's heart skipped a bit. Coupled with that, his mind began to race with lots of thoughts."But hey, hey it is not that serious, I am not going to die. It is still in its preamble stage and it is treatable."Romeo felt a sense of relief rushing across his face. "Are you on drug
Since Mr Davidson had guests at his banquet hall, fully ready for the banquet, he decided to hide his unhappiness at what had caught his gaze.He however gave his welcoming address to his guests and took his seat.He was annoyed that Romeo had lied to him.Romeo sensed this and was ashamed to look at the old man. Mrs Davidson, Linda's siblings and some of the relations of the Davidson family had a proud look on their faces as they saw Linda walk in with her new husband Andrew. They seemed to be relieved that Linda now belonged to the right man who not only got married to their own but had also elevated their status all over Yilaburg.As Linda made a grand entrance into the banquet hall, her presence commanded attention. She was adorned in a shapely dress that accentuated her curves, a carefully chosen ensemble that highlighted her beauty. The fabric clung to her every curve, revealed an alluring elegance that drew the eyes of everyone in the room.As Linda walked in with Andrew, t
The evidences were clear. He was the one that threw the bomb that set the vehicle pursuing them aflame and it looked like the occupant of that vehicle had survived. A big thanks to fate wasn't it?Coupled with that, the was acute similarity in the outfit and the hairstyle of Jensen and the assassin. It turned out that they were the same people.However with the suspect of the sensitive case of Charlie Stauman's murder confirmed Romeo decided to be calm, in order not to act suspiciously in the presence of Jensen and the man he revered, Mr Davidson.It proved to be a herculean task because he was about to catch a big fish and he was extremely eager to carry out that task.However he needed an evasion from his discussion with Jensen Hickey.How was he going to go about it?Suddenly Romeo felt a tap on his shoulder.Romeo who was now full of anxiety, turned around and surprisingly, it was Linda his ex wife.His heart sunk as he beheld her extremely beautiful face and enchanting smile."
"Andrew please let's go back to the banquet hall, this is not the time for this.""Wait darling, let me speak some sense into this church rat. It is a pity that a grown up man like you is unwilling to improve his life, it seems you are so happy with being the underdog. You do not deserve to be in the same roof with us and your late daughter made the right decision not to come to this world through you."Romeo narrowed his eyes and squeezed his face in anger. He was boiling inside of him. "Speak of my late daughter one more time and I swear to God I am going kill you where you stand and nobody, not even your shitty father, or your bodyguards are going to save you from my hands."Romeo meant every word he said, and he was prepared to carry out his resolve, Andrew just needed to say the words."Your daughter is a…"Linda quickly covered Andrews mouth to avoid any more words from falling out. "You two stop this nonsense right now. We both came to honour my fatherand I would not stand by
With Mr Davidson's fixed gaze at her direction, Mrs Davidson had to come up with something."Honey, I told you it was a wrong act of generosity to award Romeo with such amount of money. I warn you against it, but you turned a deaf ear. However if you must know, he squandered that money, wasting it booze, casino's and all other forms of betting." Mr Davidson furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you serious?""Why would I lie to you my husband? I always told you that this man only portrayed himself as a good man so he could marry our daughter. I knew he was extremely wretched and poor, not just physically, but also mentally.""That is serious. How did you know how he spent the money?""Come on honey, I hired spies to watch him ever since he professed love for our daughter. Information about him was always available to me anytime, until he and Linda got separated.""I can see that." Mr Davidson snorted with displeasure written all over his face.He found it hard to believe everything that Mrs Da
Jensen walked back into the banquet hall with a satisfied grin on his face. Romeo came walked in after, and both men sat down on their respective seats while they watched how the celebrants danced with their respective partners because it was time for music and dancing.While Jensen admired the scenery, Romeo resumed his intake of wine. All the while Mr Davidson had his eyes on Romeo and he had pity on him, seeing that he was all alone, with no companion to share the moment with.Tears rolled down from Mr Davidson's eyes because Romeo reminded him of his humble beginnings when he had no money, when he was snubbed and ridiculed, however he rubbished any negetive thoughts that began to swirl in his thoughts due to what his wife had said about his ex son in-law.Mr Davidson thought it was the right time to get Romeo's own perspective and story concerning the huge sum of money that was to be given so Romeo could start up a business for himself."Honey were are you heading to? I was just
