“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
King Richard Langston's party to celebrate Damon for the successful accomplishment he made with the Joyce Ramsey situation had kicked off, the most opulent decorations and sceneries. The party was filled with the elites of Great Britain, some of the top names that mattered in the country were all invited. It was a feast to celebrate the victory of Damon Langston and the upholding of the Kingdom against its most vicious attack in decades. The mic turned on and King Richard was on stage and about to welcome everyone to the party. “Attention ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, King Richard Langston, King of Great Britain. Long live the king!” The party anchor said, drawing everyone's attention to the king who was dressed in his kingly suit. “Long live the king!!!” Everyone responded to the call and quieted down to listen for the king's words. King Richard grabbed the microphone and took a moment to look at
Sonia had come to the party with her sister, Ivy, and they watched the event unfold from a distance. After King Richard's welcome speech and everyone returning to their various varieties at the party, she located Philip and went over to meet with him. After her call with Philip, they agreed to meet at the party. “Hi, Philip. You're looking good.” She said to him, complimenting his sense of style and gentlemanly appeal. Philip turned to her with a smile, “Lovely Sonia. We've missed you, darling,” he answered her and hugged her, “How have you been?” He asked her. They released from the hug and she smiled back giving her response, “Not bad, you know.” Philip kept looking at her, having finally found the opportunity to catch up with her since the Joyce situation happened. “I heard you didn't take the situation with Joyce and Damon well at all.” He said to her
Damon and his grandfather continued their lecture chat, Damon had just received some pearls of wisdom on leadership and was eager to receive more. His grandfather continued,“What I am telling you now will help you in your next assignment and in the next challenges that come.” The old king told him and he nodded his head to the man's words.“Don't call anyone your enemy or your ally until you know their interest and agenda. Sometimes, your enemy is a sword you can wield, and rather than destroy them you unleash them for your own good. Like you did with Joyce Ramsey.”Damon smiled at his grandfather's words, unknowingly to him, he had implemented that wisdom already. Joyce was his enemy but because he realized how her interest and agenda could be
Damon startled the group where they were and they jumped in shock, Sonia called out,“Damon!”She'd seen him and also noticed that he saw her but she didn't expect him to come there so soon, she hoped to wrap up things with Philip and Ivy, so she could exit the party as soon as possible.“Hi, Sonia. It's been a while. How are you?” He asked her, drawing close to hug her.Sonia pulled away and stopped his approach with her hand,“I'm fine. Thank you.” She answered him.Damon looked at the others, a sight he never imagined seeing, Philip and Ivy.Latest Chapter For weeks going forward, the country and the world at large have been with mixed reactions following the unfolding events in the Kingdom. The exposing of Ambassador Justin Barnes as a member of a secret organisation known as the Shadow Government and also as the Supreme Mafia Boss in Italy, took the world by storm and sparked several conversations on the case.The people were yet to digest that piece of information when the next ones followed, the mass arrest of prominent figures in the country and overseas as part of an effort to crack down on the Shadow Government. Every nation took action as they sought out those rogue players within their system and brought them to justice. It was a mass crackdown across the globe.Information on John Langston, the Grandmaster, was concealed from the public. The public wasn't aware of the relationship between Mr. Barnes and the Langstons nor were they aware of who the true Grandmaster was. As part of a deal to lessen their sentence, all who were a 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 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 The team gathered together at Damon's hotel the next morning, this was to be their first meeting since he came back from Italy. With him was Brandley, Philip, Sonia, Elizabeth, Bella, and Ivy. Damon called them together to discuss general matters that pertained to them all.They all congratulated him and Sonia both for their engagement and the new monarchical promotion. It was all a buzz for them, they did a little private celebration themselves together last night and hoped to get more done later but for now, business was paramount for the group.“I want to sincerely appreciate you all for your efforts and contributions to my success so far, from Brandley who stood by me through all hells, to the Langston bosses working to keep the empire and our secret operations afloat, to the incredible Bella who put her life at risk for the job, and to the Richmond sisters for their timely and highly important revelation that changed everything. I sincerely appreciate you all…” he continued on hi “Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your priceless attention please.” The Royal Announcer called out to the esteemed guests, bringing their attention to the podium where he was. “Thank you. 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. And this is the reason for this unprecedented announcement.”As the King spoke, Damon and Sonia arrived at the hall from the room with their hands locked together and glowing smiles on their faces. On Sonia's finger was the most priceless piece of jewel in the country, glittering s 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 madlyChapter 180: The End!
