The respectful attitude of the waiters and the fact that the women in the bar kept stealing glances at him was the only thing that kept Jack cool because he had been waiting for Joyce to arrive for over an hour and she hadn't.

“Why do you always run late to every meeting we set up?” Jack asked immediately Joyce arrived.

“I'm sorry, traffic!” Joyce apologised as she took a seat and settled in.

Joyce appreciated the fact that Jack had gotten them a secluded area in the VIP lounge, so they didn't have to worry about someone listening in on them.

“A margarita please.” Joyce ordered the waiter.

“I definitely needed that!” Joyce sighed deeply after downing the contents of the glass the waiter presented moments later. “Two more please.” She waved the man off.

“Easy with the alcohol.” Jack advised.

Joyce glared at Jack with irritation.

“What do we have on the son of a bitch?” Joyce demanded, ignoring his statement.

Jack remained silent for sometime before finally speaking.

“Nothing at all…”

    “Sonia?” Damon was pleasantly surprised. “What are you doing here?”The woman chuckled.“Is that how you're going to welcome me? A word of surprise in a lobby?”Damon’s senses returned and he blinked embarrasedly gesturing Sonia forward.“I'm sorry. I just wasn't expecting you.” He shook his head with an abashed smile on his face as she fell in step beside him. “Not even in my wildest dreams.”“Well. It's quite uncommon for a man to leave me hanging like you did so I decided to find out what the emergency was.” Sonia shrugged a delicate shoulder, her refreshing sly smile in place.Damon's brow rose.“Really. You seem to have this near arrogant opinion of yourself when it comes to men, Ms. Richmond.” He said jokingly, holding the door into his receiving room open for her.“Well I have reason to. I'm beautiful, successful, rich,” she gave him a coy smile, “... bossy – Some may even say dominant.”Damon's brows rose at that. This woman is bold! He thought.“And I give men a run for their

It only rang twice before it was answered by Joyce. “Bella!” Joyce greeted as she opened the door gesturing for Bella to come in.“Come in!” “It's been a while.” Bella responded as she hugged Joyce.Joyce smiled. “Yes indeed.” She paused, “What was so important that you couldn't tell me on the phone? Did something happen?” Joyce asked.Bella took in a deep breath before responding.“No, nothing really but we are at a crossroad. You remember a friend of mine that I said would be willing to help?” “Yes, I do.” Joyce replied.“Well she said she wouldn't be able to help us for now.”“Oh, really. If I may ask, what was her reason?”“She recently just got back into town

    Elizabeth waited beside Damon's car, feeling a little guilty about how sternly she spoke to him over the phone. She was jolted out of those thoughts and back to reality when she heard Damon's voice as he approached her.“Your Highness, I'm so sorry for interrupting your meeting with Miss Richmond, I didn't intend to, I just had to.“ Elizabeth apologized, frantically trying to calm Damon down.“Elizabeth! You sent guards to throw me out of the hospital?!“ Damon asked, neglecting her plea.“No sir. I didn't give them such orders, I only told them that it was of utmost urgency that you came downstairs immediately.“ She explained, intimidated by the boiling anger written on Damon's face.“What did you guys do to the prince?!“ She inquired from the guards.“Prince Damon wasn't willing to leave ma'am, so we had to forcefully bring him downstairs.“ One of the bodyguards responded.“We're sorry Your Highness. We didn't mean to disrespect you or manhandle you in any way.“ The guards apologized

    Damon had just arrived at his hotel room after the long meeting with the executives that night. He still worried about Sonia's health, he was exhausted from the whole stress he had encountered that day. He flung his suit jacket on the table, took off his shoes and socks, took off his shirt and immediately hit the shower. He had just come out of the bathroom when his phone rang. He walked over to his bed where he had kept his phone and checked the caller ID. It was an unknown number. This was strange, because he had changed his direct line, and it was kept discrete, and he had only disclosed it to his grandfather, Elizabeth, Phillip and Brandley, nobody else. He hesitated for a while, then picked on the fifth ring.“Hello?! Who's this?“ Damon asked sternly.“Hello again, Damon!“ The caller replied. The voice was very familiar, and he had heard it for too long to be wrong. It was none other than his ex-wife, Joyce.“Joyce, how did you get my direct line?! You've been stalking me, isn't

    Brandley walks into the room looking all tensed and suspecting, he sees Damon and Philip having their guys' time and chatting but his reason for coming was more important than whatever they were talking about.“Brandley, did you see a ghost or something? Why this look?” Damon asked curiously.“My Prince, there's an urgent development,” Brandley replied quietly trying his best to be both discreet and respectful.“There is always a new development, Brandley. Just go ahead and lay this one down. Or is someone dead now?” Damon asked, feeling already familiar with the happenings of events since he became the crown prince of the kingdom.Philip chuckled slightly, “Man, you know your territory already.”“Dude. I've never gotten to rest since all of these, it's being one issue or the other, here and there.” Damon complained.Brandley kept still, not enjoying the fun at all. He feels betrayed and he needed answers but Damon and Philip were having their fun without allowing him to land his cas

    Joyce sat down at the bar section in a club that night, drinking a glass of martini and just enjoying herself. From her expression and vibes, it seemed she had a lot to celebrate and be happy about. “Give me a bottle, mister.” She said to the bartender as she danced to the rhythm of the music oozing from the speakers.“Here you go, miss.” The bartender said to her in a soft touchy voice. And she smiled back at him, feeling the energy from him as she collected the bottle of martini from him.“Sorry to intrude, ma. But a beautiful young woman like yourself, all here drinking and celebrating alone? I can't help but wonder why.” The bartender, a handsome-looking young man, said to her hoping to start a conversation with her.“Well, handsome. I'm celebrating a big win I'm about to score.” She replied him, still vibing to the sounds in the club.“Oh, I see, baller. I bet I can score better if you give me the chance tonight.” The bartender, leading Joyce on to an arousing interest, said to

    Damon paced around in his hotel room, worried sick about everything. Joyce is about to play a card that would destabilize everything for him. If she goes on air with the evidence she has, then it would be trouble for him and the kingdom. Not only would he be seen in a different light, enemies would rise up to support her and help her take him down, and he couldn't afford that right now.“Damon, you've got to chill out man. We'll find a way out.” Philip said, trying to get him off his edge.“Phil, she can't go public. You know this.” He answered Philip reminding him of how detrimental it will be for him.“Your Highness, permit me, but I must say this,” Brandley interrupted and everyone turned to him, “I feel really disappointed that all along, you didn't see it fit to confine in me with the truth. You told me she was a crazy woman stalking you and that you never knew her.”Brandley's words reminded Damon of why the man didn't look happy all the while and why he questioned him the way h

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

    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.

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

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

I hope to see the progress you make together on your journey, I look forward to it.
