King of His Kingdom Chapter 31: Take Me Back, Now or Never!
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
King of His Kingdom Chapter 32: This Could Be Faked!
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
King of His Kingdom Chapter 33: The World on Fire!
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
King of His Kingdom Chapter 34: Let’s Meet!
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
King of His Kingdom Chapter 35: Offensive and Defensive!
“My Prince, what's your strategy for your meeting with Joyce today?” Brandley asked Damon who sat in his office putting things together.Just then, Philip came in,“Your Highness. Brandley. So, what's the move?” He asked as he entered Damon's office.Damon fixated on his work took some time away from his labors to focus on Brandley and Philip.“I don't have any strategy other than to bash that crazy woman to destroy everything she claims to have.” He said.“That wouldn't work, sir. She just won't destroy her claims simply because you, in your words, ‘’bash’ her. We need a comprehensive strategy both for offensive and defensive measures.” Brandley answered him, disproving his strategy which he actually never thought through.“Brandley is right, Damon. You shouldn't carry this out with emotions. We need a good plan.” Philip attested to Brandley's words.“Okay. I'll just pay her off because am never taking her back. Never ever.” Damon responded, bringing out his next strategy.“I don't t

Damon sat dumbfounded in the light of the whole situation, they had gone through everything and weighed their options. They came up with a plan for him to work more on the offensive strategy and also, consider the defensive options too.They had invited Elizabeth to the office to update her on certain new developments for the business operations and she had just arrived to the tense and almost palpable atmosphere in his office which they tried their best to diffuse.“It looks so tensed in here, you three men together in one office and the tension can be felt. Did y'all fight?” She asked jokingly as she ended the office, “Your Highness.” She greeted.“Welcome Elizabeth, please have your seat. This won't be long.” Damon said to her and she sat on the next available seat beside Philip.Damon went straight to the point, trying his best to conceal what he needed to,“There is a new development and I can't tell you about it for now, but I've made some decisions and I want to see them carrie

Joyce smiled at Damon and his outrageous request, sipped some more wine, and smacked her lips, looking at him keenly.“Damon. Damon. Damon Langston.” She called him slowly and repeatedly, shaking her head to the rhythm of her calls, “You think you can just go about commanding everyone as you wish, don't you?” She asked him.“Well, darling. It's part of the package that comes with being a crowned prince. Yeah.” Damon responded to her, making himself more comfortable in his chair.Joyce chuckled and smiled again,“Yes you are the prince, a narrow escape from being a beggar living under the bridge by now. You were nothing, honey. I made you seen when I divorced you, and now you think you're above me. You wield your power and influence on me for what? To get back at me, right?”Damon smiled and signaled with his shoulders, his response to her statement.“I'd like to see that power when I go to the press with what I have. Imagine the headlines,” she said, illustrating with her hands, “THE

Chapter 179: King of the Kingdom!
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

Chapter 177: Where is Damon?!
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

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.

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
