“Mr. President, my question is, why wasn't the public aware of the said secret diplomatic negotiations meeting with the mafias?” A male reporter representing one of the big-name media houses stood up and asked the President.President Balbano gave a few seconds of thought to the question and provided him with his answer. “It was a secret meeting because we didn't want to put the public in panic mode.” His answer wasn't satisfying to the reporters so another asked him a related question to learn more of why the meeting was done secretly. “We understand you wanted to keep the sanity of the mission and of the public, but in the event that the Prince was killed as we now hear he was kidnapped, wouldn't that be more devastating to the public? And especially, to the public's trust in the government?” The female reporter representing another giant media house spoke up with her question.“I understand you and the concerns as to why we kept it from the public, but you should understand why we
“Calls, boss.” Brandley called Damon's attention to the numerous calls coming in from everyone who cared about him. Hearing of the event, they all wanted to check in on him to ensure he was fine. Most of the calls were from his team and his family.“Tell them I'll call them back later.” He answered to Brandley, wanting to catch as much rest as he could.“Not when the King is calling. You have to take this one at least.” Brandley answered him back and stretched out the phone to him.Damon hesitated, his anger towards his grandfather from what Mr. Barnes had told him still boiled in his heart. “Tell him, I'll speak with him later.” He ordered Brandley with a more serious tone. He just wanted to rest and re-evaluate his state of mind before attending to anyone.Brandley however, remained insistent that he answer the King so he stretched the phone closer to him. “He is the King and your grandfather, not a perfect man. You'll deal with him when we are back in London but for now, pay him hi
Alex walked in on Bella as she was dressing up in her closet, a room-size large closet filled with all her expensive and beautiful fashion wear. He had rushed into her place to inform her of the latest news, their relationship had evolved so fast that they now shared each other's keys to their apartments. Bella had just finished taking her bath and was in her closet dressing up for work. She was already aware of the events due to their team's communication, she knew how the meeting went and the outcome plus the next course of action to take.Her relationship with Alex had flourished so much and she was genuinely loving the man already. However, the man was working for their enemies and she without a second thought chose her family over him but wished he could change his allegiance. Alex on the other hand had grown so much in love with Bella that he could do anything for her including giving up on his life just to please her and be with her. He was already making bigger plans for them
Damon and Brandley went to the President's bunker to pay Mr. Barnes a visit and interrogate him. The man sat cold where he was, he was quite surprised that as of that time he was still in the cell and no help had come for him yet. Usually, what happens in cases like this within their circles is that the Grandmaster would have ordered members of their secret group to pull strings and release their member found in such a situation. But in this case, the second in command of the secret organisation, Mr. Barnes, was the one in trouble and to make it even worse, no one knows where he is or with whom he is with.Locked up and imprisoned in this bunker, he took the time to reminisce on the situation and figure out where he missed it. ‘What went wrong?’ was the question in his mind. He tried to figure it out, exploring every possible profile and scenarios. In his mind, he played his part well and it went as he planned but things changed when he left the estate. 'How did Damon outplay the ma
The sound of a couple kissing and making out softly could be heard in the room, an office. The couple were taking on each other that afternoon, taking a break from work. It was intended to be a light romance situation just to enjoy the romantic flow they found themselves in at the moment.“We're having a meeting shortly,” the man said to his lady counterpart who was sitting in him as they were together on the large office sofa.“I don't care, I just want you.” She replied to him as she continued with the preoccupying kisses. She had loosened the buttons on her shirt to expose her breasts held on still by her bra. The man, though complaining about the wrong timing, was enjoying every bit of it as his hand went to her perfect boobs and fondled them gently while they kissed. Their romantic foreplay went upper-notch and intense, the lady making demands for some penetrations.“Fuck me,” she moaned into his ear in the heat of the moment.“You know we…have…no time…” the man tried his respon
The group made themselves comfortable in the man's office, Philip's office, and were ready for their meeting but the lady was yet to join them.“What the hell is she still doing in there?” Asked the lady's sister as her anticipation for her sister to come out of the bathroom grew higher. She was set to blast her when she came out.“Come on, Sonia. Give her a break, she just got laid. You know the drill.” One of the ladies said to her, appealing for some patience and understanding towards the young freshly-sexed lady.Sonia wasn't having it, she took it up the more, “Of all days, now that we have important matters to talk about is when she chooses to get drilled. How did you consent to this by the way, Philip?” Philip looked in shock at Sonia's full blast on her sister, Ivy, and now on him. He understood why she was worried, they had not yet heard anything from Damon yet. Brandley has been the one answering their calls and although he told them everything was fine, Sonia wasn't relaxe
In the midst of their passionate love making, Alex thrusting his manliness deep into his woman as he rightly positioned her on the table aisle in her closet room. She laid face-flat on the table and the man raised her one leg to the top of the table, giving him better access to her cleavage as he thrust in from behind. She moaned and he groaned, together the pleasure went on until they had enough of that position. Changing style, he sat on the stool and she sat on him, inserting his arrogant cock into her loyal vagina as she moved her waist and the full weight of her slender body on it. Enjoying the pleasure and lost in his head, she knew she already had him in the right state of mind to pass on her idea to him.“Do you love me?” She asked him, whispering into his ear.It wasn't a normal question nor one he expected, but he felt it was a flow with the passion so he answered her. And besides, he was too pleasure-high to think straight. “Of course I do, baby. Don't stop.” His response
Bella and Alex walked into the office to the shock of everyone except Philip and Elizabeth. The others never expected her to be anywhere near the meeting and even, not with Alex. The two were the reason why Damon can't come back home from Italy and the subject of their gathering for the meeting.“Bella and Alex, you're welcome. Please join us.” Philip welcomed them in and directed them to take their seats. They moved to one of the empty sofas and sat next to each other.Lisa was as shocked as Alex was to the scene, she couldn't understand what was going on. How is it that her allies were suddenly in the same place with her enemies? Sonia, Ivy, Bella, and Alex. She couldn't imagine what was happening and why but it felt like a set up, she was smart enough to know that.“Please, can I be excused for a minute?” Lisa spoke up, she wasn't comfortable with the setting and felt a need to make her move for escape. Within her, she thought the Richmond sisters had given them up and also suspect
For weeks going forward, the country and the world at large have been with mixed reactions following the unfolding events in the Kingdom. The exposing of Ambassador Justin Barnes as a member of a secret organisation known as the Shadow Government and also as the Supreme Mafia Boss in Italy, took the world by storm and sparked several conversations on the case.The people were yet to digest that piece of information when the next ones followed, the mass arrest of prominent figures in the country and overseas as part of an effort to crack down on the Shadow Government. Every nation took action as they sought out those rogue players within their system and brought them to justice. It was a mass crackdown across the globe.Information on John Langston, the Grandmaster, was concealed from the public. The public wasn't aware of the relationship between Mr. Barnes and the Langstons nor were they aware of who the true Grandmaster was. As part of a deal to lessen their sentence, all who were a
The entrance of the trio into this highly secretive mansion to burst this highly secretive organisation was a wonder to everyone in the room. The members laid down flat, hiding their faces from being seen by the King and the Prince. They were all prominent individuals in the country, serving various capacities mostly in politics, and it was a shame to find themselves in such a place and situation.The King walked slowly to his brother who remained on his throne waiting for him with a smirk on his face. “Hello, brother. We meet again.” He said to him.John Langston laughed and responded, “Yes, we meet again. Not as I expected though.” “And what exactly were your expectations, John?” King Richard asked him.John tossed another smirk, sighed, and responded, “Your downfall and my uprise. That was the expectation.”King Richard smiled slightly, “I am sorry you didn't get to see your expectations come to pass.” He then pointed at Damon and said to his stepbrother, “Meet my grandson, Damon
Lisa's expression brought confusion to the room, nobody understood what she was saying, not even her who made the call. 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
The Grandmaster called for a meeting with his subordinates to discuss the release of Mr. Barnes. They were now all aware of the situation with Mr. Barnes and now they needed to make a plan to get him out.“You all are some of the most powerful people in the country, and now we know the situation with Justin Barnes, what plans do you have in place to free him?” He asked them.As usual, the atmosphere was tense and everyone was on edge not only because they feared the Grandmaster but also because they had never seen him in such a mode before. 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
“What are you going to do about Joyce's kidnapping?!” Sonia stormed her question again on Damon seeing that he didn't respond to her previous questions. 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
The sudden news broke out and set almost everyone on edge. Sonia and Ivy in particular as they didn't know why Damon was getting involved with his ex-wife who tried to ruin his life.“Who has Joyce?” Sonia asked.“Mr. Barnes' father. 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
The team gathered together at Damon's hotel the next morning, this was to be their first meeting since he came back from Italy. With him was Brandley, Philip, Sonia, Elizabeth, Bella, and Ivy. Damon called them together to discuss general matters that pertained to them all.They all congratulated him and Sonia both for their engagement and the new monarchical promotion. It was all a buzz for them, they did a little private celebration themselves together last night and hoped to get more done later but for now, business was paramount for the group.“I want to sincerely appreciate you all for your efforts and contributions to my success so far, from Brandley who stood by me through all hells, to the Langston bosses working to keep the empire and our secret operations afloat, to the incredible Bella who put her life at risk for the job, and to the Richmond sisters for their timely and highly important revelation that changed everything. I sincerely appreciate you all…” he continued on hi
“Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your priceless attention please.” The Royal Announcer called out to the esteemed guests, bringing their attention to the podium where he was. “Thank you. At this point, the King would like to make a very important announcement to us all.”The guests applauded as they watched the King come up on stage and took the mic. “My good people, today is indeed a day of celebration for our country and the Kingdom following the recent accomplishments in Italy.” The audience listened attentively to the King's words as they flowed from his lips. “Since the coronation of my grandson, Prince Damon, the Kingdom has continued to triumph and amass more respect than it ever did in times past. And this is the reason for this unprecedented announcement.”As the King spoke, Damon and Sonia arrived at the hall from the room with their hands locked together and glowing smiles on their faces. On Sonia's finger was the most priceless piece of jewel in the country, glittering s
The King spent some time chatting with Damon and Sonia, familiarising himself with the young woman even to giving his approval and blessings to their relationship. “I see you two have found yourselves perfect for each other, I am happy you did. I hope to see the progress you make together on your journey, I look forward to it. You have my blessings.” “Thank you, My King.” They both answered in excitement, “I'll be right back, grandfather.” Damon said as he held Sonia's hand to leave.“Make sure you don't go far, my special announcement is coming up shortly.” The King answered him.Damon nodded his head in response and whispered into Sonia's ear, “Come with me.” “Where are we going? And what special announcement is the King talking about?” Sonia asked him, being pulled by the Prince away to his choicest location.“I don't know. Just follow me.” They climbed upstairs to his personal office in the Palace, running around the hallway like highschool lovers. The guards watched them madly
