“What are you saying?” Lisa fired at him sharply, unable to hold herself and her act. She was shocked by Alex's sudden flip, somehow she knew Bella had influenced him too. This wasn't the assignment they gave to him, Mr. Barnes wouldn't take it easy with him. Her reaction, however, sparked more trouble for her than she quickly realised. Blood spilt and words spoken cannot be taken back, so she found herself now in the crosshairs of Philip and Elizabeth. Before they could speak, her brain had revealed to her that she was out of character already, looking at the surprised gaze from Philip and Elizabeth made her even more aware of her error.“Why are you…” Elizabeth spoke up as expected, “Why did you react that way? Are you against his decision?” Her question fell on Lisa like ice accompanied by her suspicion of the new assistant. Like she didn't already know who she was, Elizabeth maintained her play.Lisa looked around at the others, she had her supposed allies there who could probabl
The group listened and waited for some answers from Philip concerning Bella's involvement in the plot against Damon. Lisa confirmed her suspicion of Bella to be true at this point. She now confirmed that Bella was working undercover against them and Alex was just a pawn in her game. Bella had played them yet she wondered also about Joyce. ‘What role is Joyce playing in this?’ She thought to herself.If Bella was working against them, then she must have exposed Mr. Barnes to Damon and that might have been the reason why they haven't heard from him yet. He might have been arrested by Damon,l. Several thoughts ran through her mind, but at the height of it was how she could escape from there. She had made an attempt before but wasn't granted permission, now she must come up with a better approach before guys hit the punchline of their plot in her.“There's something you girls don't know about.” Philip answered their questions vaguely, trying to avoid divulging the truth yet.“Then you tel
Lisa finally had enough of their confessions and found her way of escape as Alex casually adc her to. She made for the door and the ladies exclaimed. “She's on the run!” Almost going after her.“Stop, ladies!” Philip called them to order, “Relax, let her be.” He said to them and they returned back to their seats.“Are you just going to let her go like that? She's going to reveal everything to Mr. Barnes.” Ivy complained, worried about what the impact of Lisa's escape would be for them. She was yet to know about the situation with Mr. Barnes, so she feared Lisa would inform him. “Our parents’ lives are at stake, Philip. Please, call the security or something to stop her.” She complained even more. Philip smiled, showing there were no concerns at all for him. “Relax, babe. None of that is going to happen. Your parents will be fine.” He responded to her to console her and make her calm her anxiety.“Do you have a plan to capture her?” Sonia asked, curious about the calmness with Philip,
Lisa stood inside the elevator, realising she had made the wrong choice of movement from Philip's office floor. “Damn, what was I thinking or not thinking? I should have used the stairs. Fuck! Now they'll have security waiting for me when I arrive.” She complained to herself, worried about her rash decision which was unusual of her to do.Once she managed to run out of Philip's office, she stormed past the secretary and straight to the elevator to make her escape. In the elevator, she gave thoughts to how Bella and Alex plus the Richmond sisters have played her and her boss. “How did we not see this? How come they are smarter? They just joined this game recently and we have being it for long. How did we miss it?” She continued to question herself and beat herself up for the lapses of their plan.She returned her thoughts back to the elevator and how much danger that was to her. She expected them to have shut the elevator down and trap her inside but that didn't happen, now she knew th
Lisa wakes up in a strange room, she bleakly opens her eyes, one eyelid after the other. The excruciating pain from her arm triggered her as she tried to move it unbeknown of where she was or what happened to her.“Damn!” She exclaimed to the pain she felt. Then gradually, she grabbed the arm to check it out and found that it was treated and bandaged already. Her brows lifted in surprise, wondering what had happened to her and how she got to this state.As she tried to sit up more and properly observe the situation, the pain hit again and she yelled, “Argh!” Holding the arm gently. Her memory began to come back to her swiftly like flashes. “Where am I?” She questioned herself almost like she was talking to someone else who had the answers.She recall fleeing the Langston Tower without her bag or even her phone, the security in pursuit and how she evaded them. Then the gunshot from the unknown shooter, she remembered not hearing the sound of the gun and thought who the shooter was. “A
The Grandmaster signalled for her to get up as he took his seat on his throne. “Brienne, get her something to drink.” He instructed the mean-looking woman who had escorted Lisa to him. Lisa rose up and sat back on her seat, frightened by the appearance of the Grandmaster as she beheld him. The first and only time prior to now that she saw the man was during a brief meeting when he came around to Mr. Barnes' mansion. Even then, she only got a short glance at him and didn't really see him upclose.The man is as frightening as she had heard all the while. His voice thundered and his silence was even more scary. She didn't know much about him nor about his relationship with Mr. Barnes, only that he was the Grandmaster of the Shadow Government.“You are aware of what is happening?”The Grandmaster asked her.“Yes, Grandmaster.” She answered back in a rushed and shaking tone.Brienne came back with a bottle of drink and poured some for her. She gulped it quickly to quench her thirst and eas
“Today marks a great day in the history of our nation as the Crowned Prince of our Kingdom returns from his assignment in Italy. We recall that about a month ago, the Prince, Prince Damon Langston went on a diplomatic assignment in Italy in an alliance between both nations to help solve the mafia situation in the country of Italy. The Prince returns today from Italy having successfully delivered on the assignment and achieving the impossible.

First, there were the reporters and their crew all stationed strategically at the end of the r
The buzz for the Prince increased by the second as the people continued to cheer for him, a true national hero he was indeed. Damon walked down the podium to give his speech to the waiting Press, accompanied by the Prime Minister, his friends, and the delegates all lined up behind him. The cheers hit its climax one more time as she stepped on the podium, the people eager to hear him speak. Gradually, the noise died down so he could speak and everyone turned to the listen. His speech was attended to by the entire world who tuned in keenly to hear what he had to say.“I am pleased to announce to the great people of Britain and Italy that our assignment was a success.” He began his speech and once again, the crowd roared to his words. It almost seemed like it was a god speaking. “The mafia syndicate in Italy has being dissolved and they have surrendered, thanks to the work of our great team, the collaboration of the British MI6 and the Italian Intelligence, and especially to President B
