“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.

    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

As she waited, she put a call across to her busy sister, Elizabeth,“Hey sis, busy as a bee now, aren't you?” She joked on the call.“Hey Bella, how are you?” Elizabeth responded to her.“Well, if you're asking about my state of mind in light of my recent activities, yeah I'm doing great. Remember the lady I told you I was helping with her ex-husband's case?” Bella asked her sister, excitedly to share her progress with her.“Yes, Bella. What happened now?” Elizabeth's response made her seem uninterested and she truly was uninterested as she had told her sister initially hoping she doesn't get herself in any form of trouble.“Come on, Betty.

    Damon spent the night at Sonia's place, after a very eventful night of pleasure between them. Still in bed, cuddled around each other from the exhaustion of the night's activities of two wild lovers. Damon's phone chimed repeatedly, notifications and alert messages dropping in nonstop, but he was fast asleep to notice. The same occurred with Sonia's phone, but the pretty damsel was way off from that reality.PHONE RINGS!!!Damon's phone rings out loud, enough to wake him up and make him struggle to get it. He unwraps his arms from Sonia's body and hers from his, staring at the woman he had just spent the night with, the most adorable sleeping beauty he had ever seen. After a moment of staring and amazement, he dressed her face and her hair with his hand and sealed a kiss on her forehead. The sleeping beauty moved her body slightly, still feeling cozy as she slept like a baby. Damon sealed another kiss on her cheek, and she smiled, waking up to find the body she cuddled with had unwra

    “Bella, what have you done?” Elizabeth queried her sister on the phone over the recent trending matter.“I told you, sis, that I was on the verge of nailing a wicked man,” Bella replied her sister, inciting her claim.“Yes you did but you left out the part of who the man was, you didn't tell me it was my boss you were planning to destroy.”“Betty, to be honest, I didn't even know he was the one until we began the interview. She concealed his identity from me. You could hear my shock in the video.” Bella defended herself.“Damn, Bella. This is the fucking Prince, you just touched the Royal Family and they'll come for you.” Elizabeth warned, sounding disturbed about the situation.“Now you're making me scared, sis. But I've got you to back me up, after all, I just exposed the truth about your boss.” Bella replied her.“Yeah, you did. I can't believe he was lying to us all this while. So, he's such a monster but claims to be so nice and gentle? Damn!” Elizabeth exclaimed, feeling betraye

We have to put plans in place to diffuse the situation.” Brandley answered him.While they spoke, Philip arrived and pushed the notification bell. Brandley unlocked the door for him and he entered to meet the sight of Damon on the bed, weakened to his bones.“Hey, man. You look like hell.

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

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.

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

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
