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

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.

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

He wakes him up so they can talk and plan further.“My Prince, you've got to wake up and face this. Laying down frustrated won't solve the issue.” Brandley said to Damon.“Brandley, I messed up. I'm going to lose everything to that crazy woman.” Damon said from his bed, pitifully.“That doesn't stop us from trying, My Prince. 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. You need to get up and fix this up.” Philip said to him.“How can I fix it up, Phil? I even made everything worse again.” Damon said to them, making them wonder what else he had done.“What did you

That woman, Joyce Ramsey, is lying about most of the things she said.”“But she's your wife, isn't she?” His grandfather jumped to ask.“No sir, she was. We were married for five years till she cheated on me and her family forced me into divorcing her.” Damon replied humbly.“So, what about the abuses and violence?” His grandfather asked him.“That also is not true, sir. She and her family actually abused me both verbally and physically. The night Brandley found me,

    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

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
