Damon began his story as everyone listened attentively, most especially, Joyce.“Once I was crowned prince of the kingdom, I was given a task to prove my worthiness for the position and potentially for the throne. The task was to do something that showed I was truly a king material, something huge, something that demonstrates wisdom, intelligence, and problem-solving.“You see, the issue with the assignment was that I needed a problem for me to display my problem-solving skills. You don't solve a problem when there is no problem now, do you?” He chuckled and everyone except Joyce and Ivy smiled.He continued,“I couldn't wait for problems to arise, that's unpredictable. So I did what some kings do, I borrowed a page from dictators' textbook. I created the problem I was going to solve.” He paused for a while, and sipped his glass of champagne, “Hmm…this is good stuff, you need to try it out, guys. Who's bottle is this?” He said as he sipped the drink further.Bella answered him,“It is
Damon's story had paralyzed Joyce as her jaw dropped and her body froze where she was. She thought to beg and apologize, but the words were not forthcoming and she feared interrupting him. Heartbroken and feeling betrayed by Bella, and powerless to Damon, she remained mute unable to even process the situation. In her heart, all she could ask was that Damon be merciful towards her yet, she couldn't say it out.Damon began laying down the exit plan for her in this story.“Once that documentary goes live by the said time, the lawsuit will be filed against you and before evening, the judge will issue a warrant for your arrest. Once you're caught and apprehended, that will be your last moment of freedom. So, you have few hours to run, hide, and escape if you can. Should you succeed, good for you, otherwise, you'll be served.” Damon hit her with the final play.Joyce startled back to reality and lay on the e floor, begging Damon to have mercy on her. She held his leg and cried but he wasn't
Ivy arrived at Sonia's place, panting heavily and in fear. It was dark and she'd come to Sonia's place to seek refuge against Damon's wrath. Sonia opened up for her and she entered.“Sis, please I need you.” She said to Sonia, panting and worried.“Calm down, Vy. What is it?” Sonia asked her, wondering why she was so worried and tried to calm her down.Ivy wouldn't stop pacing around and panicking, it was like she had seen a ghost or someone was after her.“Sonia. I need your help.” She continually cried out to her sister.Sonia knew Ivy was always a trouble seeker, always finding herself in one form of trouble or the other, despising all her warnings and when it blows back at her, she comes running to her like a puppy for help. This was one of those episodes, Sonia already knew how it ends.“Alright, Vy. Take a seat first.” She held her and helped her sit down on the couch, “You know I got your back. Relax.”Ivy sat down but still worried, always looking at the door like she was expe
Damon and his team arrived at the palace and everyone cheered him as he walked in, the salutations and respects were flying. He had just flipped the situation everyone thought would bury him, he turned it around into his ladder to climb higher.The whole nation was talking about it and admiring his formidable nature. Who could have thought that the world would be praising Damon on this day? Joyce's lawsuit and divorce update were supposed to be the trendy news everyone had expected, but the brilliant Prince turned it around.Although he won, the people had their mixed reactions and opinions to the situation. Conspiracy theories and false accusations and disbelief were all flying around, commenters and commentators and political analysts were pouring in their thoughts and opinions to the case. To some, Damon must have used his powers to manoeuvre the situation in his favour, to others he had planned it all along and Joyce was never his wife but an actress he paid to play his self-orch
“What to you mean, Ivy? Damon played everything and used you guys as pawns in his game?” Sonia asked Ivy, surprised and at the same time fascinated by all Ivy had told her about Damon's play.For sure she couldn't have imagined Damon doing that, but learning that it was all Damon's idea to let Joyce work as his ladder to step higher, amazed Sonia. “I was even more surprised than you are right now, sis. Damon is something else.” Ivy said to her sister.Sonia and Ivy sat down together on the couch, glasses of wine in hand as they went over the event at the hotel.“His entry game into the hotel room was so scary and frightening, I almost passed out.” Ivy explained.“That's crazy. So now you think he's after you?” “I think so, sis. Haven't you watched the documentary and the intended consequences for Joyce and those involved? I fear for my career and my life, right now.” Ivy said.Sonia shook her head and answered her back,“That's terrible but I think Joyce is just the target. Where's
Damon gathered together with his team at the office to catch up and deliberate on any lingering matters. Seated together in the office lounge were Brandley, Philip, Bella, and Elizabeth, each sipping their glass of wine. “Now that Joyce is gone, we need to return our attention to other matters. What do we have?” Damon asked the group. Everyone stared on, waiting to say something that was on their mind. “The Board is overly pleased with the outcome of everything and they were all grateful they stayed and trusted us to fix the problem.” Elizabeth went first. “But some of them did pull out, right? I have their money to prove so.” Damon asked, knowing that among the men who hedged their bet against him were some members of his Board. “Well, it turns out that was just another bird your one-stone hit. You eliminated the bad eggs within the Board.” Philip added, praising the effect of their p
Damon at down on his chair as he set out to make his unveiling to his team. “Like I said earlier, defending the Kingdom from internal and external threats, and expanding its geopolitical influence and business empire across the globe is my agenda. The world will not bow to us unless we make it to and there are entities who vehemently oppose us and want to see us fall but we'll not give in to them.” As he spoke, the team listened attentively to his words, the things he was about to say would reorganize and restructure their operations, and this would determine the future of the Kingdom and its empire. “To achieve this agenda, it is imperative that I set the right structure that would give me the necessary balance and flexibility to operate. Therefore, I'll be stepping down from active duty at the company, and that role will be taken over by Philip. Just as you did recently, you'll represent me as the new President and CEO of the b
At the mystery location where the mysteriously evil group gathered together, their master's words thundered the room and sent everyone into panic mode, they feared for their lives because they had enraged their master. He turned to them and asked his question again, this time with a less thunderous tone, “I said, why is the Kingdom still standing? And why is that foul name, Langston, still mentioned and praised?” The men and women who were gathered there, stammered as they muffled their words to each other. None had the boldness to behold the face of their master, they all looked down as they muttered their words. “Twenty-one of you, rightly positioned in all the places of power, influence, and authority, yet you could not execute a simple attack.” He fires at them again. One of the men among his subjects finally mustered the courage to speak. “Grandmaster, may your agenda be
