Damon, Philip, Brandley, and the ladies assembled together at his hotel after the party to deliberate on this new development. Alex Menard's accusation was a grievous one and they must explore it to find all they could about it.
“Bella and Ivy, what do you know about Jack Pierce's situation?” Damon asked them.
“We released him the same day after the event with Joyce. He ran off, squirreling in shame, nothing else was done to him.” Bella answered Damon and Ivy seconded to it.
“The two unsolved mysteries here are, how is he dead and how is he related to Alex Menard?” Philip asked.
They contemplated the matter over and over but were unable to fathom anything useful.

“Hi, Damon. I was hoping we could make our date tonight since the ladies will be traveling tomorrow.” Sonia said to him on the phone.“Okay. That'll be fine, where do you have in mind?” He asked her. Their previous dates had not gone as expected, he hoped this would be different probably if she made the decision.Sonia gave it a thought for a moment and answered him,“Your hotel will be fine. I’ll be there by 8.”“Great. See you by 8 then,” he replied her, excited about her choice of venue, and quickly added, “I'll send my driver to come and pick you up.”On her way to their first date, she had an ac
Philip had rushed back to the hotel from work to meet up in time for his date with his pesky lady of interest, his heartbeat above usual, enough to make him realize he was nervous about tonight.All his encounters with Ivy have been troublesome but along the line, they began finding their admiration and interest for each other. She might be crazy, but she was beautiful and sexy as hell, all the ladies in their circle were stunning beauties. It gets difficult ranking them but Ivy and Bella being the youngest of the four ladies, their beauty was quite noticeably brighter just a little.He wondered how the night was going to be, Ivy was feeling him as he was feeling her, and probably even more. He took a deep breath and relaxed himself,“You're the man, bro. And you're going to make it
Damon returned her kiss and they continued for a moment, the chair becoming uncomfortable for them, she got up and began to unbutton his shirt. He raised her up to himself, suspending her on him with his hands on her butts and her legs wrapped around his waist. They kissed on and on, making their way to the bed beside the pool out in the open space of the penthouse's terrace.He landed her on the bed and himself on her as they continued to kiss. She flipped him over, sat on his body, legs spread across his waist, and began another round of kisses. His hands went to the zip in her gown and they unzipped the beautiful enclosed dress causing her to raise her body and take her hands off the gown. The gown dropped like a loosed ring down her slender body to her waist, unveiling the wonders of her anatomical masterpiece held by her bra.Wi
Sonia called up her girls to update them on the status of their trip, her night with Damon was magical and she had finalized things with him only not as he expected.“Hello, ladies. Wheels up by 11.” She informed them in a video conference call.The ladies exchanged their pleasantries, they were eagerly looking forward to this trip, it would help them unwind, catch up as the new Damon's Angels, and also prepare them for the coming weeks.They all showed their excitement in their screams and jiggling as they ended the call to prepare for the airport. One after the other, they arrived at the Langston Private Airport which was owned by the Langston or just Damon now by inheritance.Set and ready, they board
So far, the ladies' trip was already mind-blowing, Damon had made the things they were less focused on more amazing than the ones they focused on.“When I said we were going to stay at his Paris villa, I only expected that he owned a place in Paris, not this.” Sonia let out, being beaten by her eyes and what they behold.Ivy turned to Elizabeth who had informed them on the plane that her name for this trip would be Betty and not her official name, Elizabeth.“Betty left us in the dark. You know so much about him, you definitely knew about this too.” Ivy accused her of not telling them.The other ladies seconded Ivy's statement but Betty disproved it,“I only knew he had villas in Paris and across France, I didn't know of this particular one.” She said to defend herself.Whether she was aware of it or not, she was as surprised about it as they were. Ella stepped in to blow them off even more.“Tonight, at an exclusive elite auction in London, this neighborhood will be auctioned to the
Damon, Philip, and Brandley arrived at the venue of the Exclusive Elite Auction and it was streaming with power and money, elite men and women from across the globe were all gathered, just as the Whitmores told him.As they arrived, everyone welcomed him, the Crowned Prince of Great Britain had just arrived at the event. All eyes were on him and many were rambling to meet with the prince. More important than the auction itself and the purchasing of items were the connections these folks made.The business, political, financial, and other kinds of connections they made were the most important part of the gathering and everyone was a scout or a fisherman, either scouting for their targets and opportunities or fishing for their meat and profit. Damon understood this very well and he was prepared for the games and to play it better.“Look at them, everyone in search of opportunities that benefit their interests and agendas.” He said to his guys with him, testifying to the words of his gr
Damon's question landed the final mark for the Whitmores to unveil their interest and agenda to him.Bruce leaned forward to deliver the marker,“Long live the King,” He said, paying reverence to King Richard and they all bowed to that, a show that they were truly loyal to the throne, “We pray for his health but we know the King would soon pass away and you'll become king, so we want to create an alliance with you as our family did with your grandfather.”Brice Picked it up,“We want protection and influence from the Kingdom. We know a war is looming against the Kingdom and the enemies of the throne are already lurking around. The only way to guarantee our survival is to work together.”Brown chipped in from where his sister stopped,“We could be your very solid allies unknown to these folks and you could be our protector, and also provide us the influence we need to expand our interest into new territories.”Damon nodded his head to their pitch, he knew it was worth the risk he was t
The ladies woke up the next morning from the various rooms, having had their first sleepover in Paris, and a wonderful one at that. The thoughtfulness put into setting everything up for them was wow and they couldn't get enough of the excitement that came with it.Bella and Ivy were already soaked in the Olympic-sized infinity edge pool and were challenging themselves to who the best swimmer was. Whereas their sisters who were more work-oriented were resting off, trying to recoup as much resttime as they could while on the trip.Sonia couldn't resist the desire to call Damon, she put a call across to him breaking the pact she made with the ladies.“Hey, baby.” She said to him as he picked up the call. Lying cozy on her bed and holding on to the big teddy bear that was part of her gift. Each lady had theirs too and in their most preferred color, hers was white.“Someone's awake. Shouldn't you be on a 24-hour beauty sleep by now?” Damon asked her, not so surprised that she called.Sonia
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 madly
