Damon and Brandley arrived at President Balbano's office and they met the man with his chief of staff already waiting for them. Their meeting with the Ambassador has been anticipated for a while, since Damon arrived in Italy he was yet to meet with the British Ambassador in Italy.

Although they have spoken over the phone especially during the welcome incident that happened to him. The Ambassador had reached out to Damon to welcome him to Italy and also extend his sympathy for the mafia attack on him.

Since then, Damon has not left the presidential villa to the notice of the public in visit of anyone or place. They ensured such measures due to the security protocols to keep him safe. The initial plan was for him to stay at the UK Embassy with the Ambassador all through his assignment in Italy but the situation that happened made them adjust the plan of where he should stay.

However, the situation had died down a bit and Damon was ready to move back to the UK Embassy which was a major r

    Ambassador Barnes entered the office to meet the men seated and awaiting his arrival. “Mr. President,” he reached out to shake hands with the President and then to Damon, “Your Highness,” and also to the others, “Gentlemen.” They all returned the greeting and he sat down to begin the meeting. “Once again, my apologies for not going to see you sooner, My Prince.” He said to Damon, rendering his apologies for the delayed visit.“Oh, that's nothing. We are here now.” Damon answered him.“So, what do we have, Mr. Ambassador?” President Balbano asked him to kick-start the meeting.He opened his file, flipped it a little and presented the subjects to them, “For one, the pressure from the media and politicians back home for you to return and face investigation on the Jack Pierce's case is growing stronger by the day.” “I have my people handling that already and the authorities are working well with them, so what is their problem?” Damon asked.“The lady who broadcasted the case, Bella Bost

    The men listened patiently to the new episode from Bella and the testimonies of the eye witnesses. It was solid what they said but it didn't seem real to the men. President Balbano was the first to point it out.“This is organised. We all know how the game works, this is definitely a planned work and whoever is sponsoring this lady is not so good.” The President said out after watching the show.The part of the statement where he mentioned that Bella's sponsor wasn't so good triggered Ambassador Barnes' ego, making me enraged. “This is solid evidence and nothing there was planned.” He lashed out in response.“Wow. It seems like you've finally given us your answer.” Damon said to him after watching him lash out. “What answer is that?” The Ambassador asked.“What you think about the case. It's clear your interest tilts against your patriotic stand.” Brandley answered him. The Ambassador realised that he had almost exposed himself and he was at the verge of leaking out his involvement,

    Damon's meeting with Ambassador Justin Barnes and their Italian counterpart ended in a conclusive note, he demanded to have a meeting with the mafia lords of Italy and although everyone else vehemently kicked against it, the Ambassador vaguely did.It was working in his favour so he needed the meeting to happen. The situation now was for the Ambassador and the Italians to work together in setting up the meeting and the meeting must be kept off the knowledge of the public and the media.Damon planned on meeting with the mafias to negotiate in his words “the Conditions for their surrender.” But how he would go about that was left as a mystery to the others. It was a risky job but he was going to do it anyway.The fears for his intended actions coursed through the men as they knew he was about to dare something that was in every way unrecommended. The mafias were already looking for ways to assassinate him and they have tried before as a warning shot but now he is about to stroll freely

    The news of Damon's plan was already reaching the right people and the reactions coming in were not funny. Everyone was concerned about his plot and how much they felt it was wrong. The first he had to deal with was President Balbano himself who still didn't buy the idea.Balbano came to Damon in his suite at the Presidential Villa to discuss the matter with him again with the hopes that he might persuade Damon to change his mind.“I understand how badly you want to resolve this situation and how much you've been working on doing that since you came, but I can't help it. I must ask you,” President Balbano, sitting opposite the Prince said out to him, “Are you letting Ambassador Barnes get into your head?” He asked the question because of how the Ambassador was pushing the situation with Damon at their last meeting and how Damon rashly brought up this risky plan. He felt somehow that the Ambassador may have triggered that move in Damon, probably because Damon felt like he wasn't doing

Her phone rang and she looked at it, it was a strange number so she ignored it for the times it rang. After several attempts and she yet snubbed it, another call came in and this time from Ivy.“Hey, Vy. What's up?” She picked it up and replied to her sister, she was quite surprised that Ivy was calling her at such a working hour and even immediately after the strange number that was blasting her phone.“Sis, did you get calls from a strange number?” Ivy asked her, her tone carrying with it heavy concerns and worries.Sonia could only imagine why Ivy was asking her such a question and with such a worried tone. “Yes, I did. What do you know about it?” She asked Ivy,

    Damon looked at his phone to ascertain who the call was from and it was from his grandfather, King Richard Langston. He had not spoken to his grandfather for some days now but Brandley regularly updated the King on everything that was going on, including this new plan.King Richard was calling to let out his own concerns about the mission Damon was about to embark on. “Long may you reign, My King.” Damon exalted the King as he answered the call.“My boy, good to hear from you,” King Richard answered, “How have you been?” He asked.“Very well, Your Majesty. And I'm sorry I've not had the chance to reach out to you for a while.” Damon answered to express his apologies for his lack of communication for the past few days.“Not to worry, my son. I'm still alive and well.” The King joked as they laughed together.“Good to know, sir,” Damon responded with excitement about his grandfather's health.“So, I hear you are about to embark on a foolhardy task, why is that?” The King asked his princ

    Damon's conversation with his grandfather ended abruptly as the King ended the call without answering Damon's enquiries. Damon had suspected that his grandfather knew something about Mr. Barnes that he wasn't telling him and he asked about it but the King refrained from telling.He turned to Brandley who was the closest person to his grandfather prior to his arrival. “Brandley, you've worked with my family all your life and you know almost everything my grandfather knows. Now, tell me what you know about this. What is the King keeping from me?” He asked the man.Brandley stood silent and confident throughout the unfolded scene as he watched the King and the Prince bouncing off on the subject. Now, he is being pulled into it by Damon who suspects Brandley might know something about it. “I can assure you, My Prince, the King alone knows what he is saying.” The man answered calmly and intelligently.“No, Brandley. This is not your usual response, you definitely know something.” Damon ob

    “You are what?!” Damon exclaimed to Sonia's statement of her being pregnant. He thought he heard wrong or maybe didn't get her clearly. “Sorry, I thought you said you were pregnant.” He said to her with his curiosity heightened to the highest it could be.“Yes, I am pregnant.” She said it out again slowly for him to hear and understand.“You're joking, Sonia. Tell me the truth,” Damon wasn't taking it yet to be the truth what she had said, he felt she was just playing games with him.Sonia kept him quiet for a while as she moved her hand through her stomach to feel what she called her pregnancy, and smiling brightly. Damon looked at Brandley who was the only person he could see, his face showed how shocked he was by the unverified news from Sonia about her pregnancy. Several thoughts already coursing through his mind even though he was yet to confirm the truth from her. “Brandley, switch this to video, please.” He said to his right-hand man, instructing him to make his call with Son

We meet again.” He said to him.John Langston laughed and responded, “Yes, we meet again.

The voice that answered the call didn't say anything meaningful to her, it wasn't Damon nor anyone she recognised, and he ended the call abruptly on her. “What did he say?” They asked her.“It wasn't Damon.” “But that is his private line, the same one we called two days ago?” Brienne asked her.“Yes, it is. But the voice wasn't his and…” Lisa answered and then paused. “And what?” Brienne asked her.“He said Damon was with us here. I don't understand what that means.” “That is bullshit, call the number again.” One of the members ordered.The room erupted in murmur and questioning as they wondered what was going on. Lisa called the number again but got no response from the number. She tried it over and over again but still no response. “It's not going through.” She informed them, “Is he playing games with us?” She asked rhetorically.“He wouldn't dare, he knows wh

He was on a different level of dreadful to them and somehow, they could see he was emotional which he never used to be. Although they all acknowledge Justin Barnes' role in the whole system and how he was the second in command, yet they couldn't understand why there was so much love and interest for him. The Grandmaster had clearly stated at times past that if anyone was caught, they were on their own and must find their way out themselves without

She tapped him on his lap to quicken him for some answers.Damon sighed to the frustration Sonia was giving him on Joyce's case but he had no choice than to respond to her. “Joyce will be fine. Just watch and see.” “So you're just going to sit here, do nothing, and she'll just be fine like that?” She inquired more to understand what the Prince was saying.“Yes. Isn't that true Brandley?” Damon answered her and called for Brandley to confirm his words.“Ttue, boss. She'll be fine.” Brandley answered.Sonia couldn't understand what these people were doing, she was the only one who seemed lost and paranoid about the situation. Everyone else including Ivy were relaxed and unbothered about the situation like they knew something she didn't know.“What's the problem with you all?” She rose up and blazed at everyone in the group. “How can y

They are demanding the release of Mr. Barnes and clear all accusations against him.” Damon answered her.“Okay, but why is Joyce now important? I thought she was working for them?” Sonia asked again to fill in the gaps of her ignorance on the subject. “Wasn't she a recruit of Mr. Barnes? Bella?” She dragged Bella into it as she sought for answers on the state with Joyce.Damon and the others looked at each other suspiciously, Sonia and Ivy picked the signal that they were somehow in league with Joyce. “Hmm…we know that look. Something's going on between you guys and Joyce. I thought she was the enemy?” Sonia blasted at them to further her inquiries.Damon signalled to Brandley to help the young queen-to-be with the answers she sought. “We recruited Joyce
