The evening was set for the introduction of companies that would be enlisted into the Royal Business Affiliates, these were groups of companies that would be partnering directly with the royal family, each of them had their Ambassadors who would be representing them. Clara stood in for the Verizon Group, though not a great company, it was believed that at least she stood a chance being that she was the Duchess. Right there, she wanted to get into this so her position would skyrocket. "This would be a great milestone for me," she leaned and whispered to Elene who giggled. "I might likely become the next prime minister of this country!" Clara made a little dance but with a wide smile. "Elene, what do you think?" Elene blushed, giggling. "That would be great! I can't wait for the list to be announced. It would be kudos to us!" Elene was glad because if her Duchess could move up to such a great position as the prime minister, her position and salary as well would also move up. No lon
Leo stared at the documents which were handed over to him, Jeff stood by his side and was staring at what he was going to do with them. He thought about this for a while, then a thought rang in his mind."Yes, I know what to do exactly, I'll make her work under me. I'll make her join the royal family but she would be under me, let's see what Henry would do." He grinned with a sinister expression.Jeff saw him nodding his head and didn't know what was going on, he became confused."Hope there's no issue, sir?" "What?" Leo widened his eyes, influencing him."No.... Nothing!" He stammered. He tried to remove his eyes away from staring into his face. It seemed as though Leo was persisting, so he decided to explain further."I just saw you shaking your head, and grinning......" He stammered, towards the end his voice trailed. Leo wasn't happy with this, he raised his eyes and glared at him briefly. "I'm sorry!" He apologized."I didn't mean to meddle in your business.""Good!" Leo nodded,
"How come we are the first to be chosen into the Affiliates?" The head of the Verizon Group who just arrived not long ago asked, he was shocked as well. He didn't expect this. Seeing the top companies that were contesting to be among the eight, he wondered. "Yes, Verizon is a small group but we made it!" His deputy said. "I wonder why they wouldn't care to know who made this happen!" Henry whispered into Clara's ears. He was eager to hear his name talked about. Clara who was so glad and enthusiastic to let people know that it's her fiance who related to the princess about this moved ahead to let them know. "All thanks to my fiance, he actually spoke with the princess, delivering good words to her which has brought us to this position!" Elene moved forward to the head of the company and complained to him how Leo was going to spoil their plan, seeing that no one could challenge Leo, she decided to meet with this stout, no-nonsense president of the group. "I want to see him cautione
For the while they were together, Leo had never had Clara insult him to the point of bringing in their sexual secret to the public, she even lied against him just to shame him. "What a surprise! I thought you were a good woman." "And I thought you were a good man, a good husband, not knowing you were hiding your true identity to eat from my pocket." This pissed Leo so much. "What does she means?" He narrowed his eyes, raising his eyes, he looked at her sternly in the eyes. "Do you think I wouldn't survive without you?" After all he did for her, she had the guts to say this against him. She didn't know but he greatly helped him to the position of Duchess she was. With his skills, he had cured one of the Royal Officials who were in charge of appointing positions of authority, he refused a pay at the end of the treatment. "What do you want?" He could recall the man asking him upon resisting his payment. "Favor my wife in this contest!" That was his only wish and this helped a lot to
The princess was there in her office watching everything that was going on, after witnessing the call of names of the companies qualified, she returned back in to her office in the hall which was overseeing where the ceremony was going on. Leo was glad to see Henry in trouble, he was acting too pride.As these men brought out their guns and other weapons such as their jack knife, Henry shook, even Clara and Elene, they couldn't talk any longer, then they looked at him and he gave them a wicked stare.Though no one suspected this to be the handiwork of the princess, he did, he felt for Clara alone, the love he had for her before she became his ex wouldn't make him so heartless as not to consider her. Outwardly he pretended like he didn't care."How would you assault a feared warrior like me?" Jack thundered as he and his men approached them, they were redressing back."If you move again, we shoot you!" Jack threatened. Clara turned her eyes to look at the entire guests who were just st
Leo received a call, when he checked his phone it was from the princess. He hurriedly picked it leaving the thugs and everyone gathered in the hall in a state of suspense. "Hello," he called, since he didn't mention the princess, no one knew who he was talking to."Yes, why are you so bothered about your ex, I thought you had separated from her?" From the tone, she was really angry and jealous. Leo grew suspicious. "You sent people to kill her so I can be yours?" Clara raised her head from the ground where she was lying, she was hearing this with looks of shock on her face, especially as she heard him talking of these men being sent to kill her. Leo was so angry that he couldn't control his statement even being in the midst of people. "It must be the princess!" Clara suspected. "But why is she doing this to me?" Henry was annoyed and started planning if there could be any available way to take the princess out. She was after his love interest, he couldn't watch and see this happe
One of the guests who came in from the restroom outside recognized Jack. He was his cousin and they grew up together, the only one in the midst of the hall who could talk to him freely without fear. "What are you doing here, Jack?" He shouted from a distance. Seeing the circumstances of things and how Leo was ready to fight with Jack, he turned towards him. "Do you know who you are playing with?" He sighed. "You're playing with fire and it will surely burn you. Don't say I didn't warn you!" Ethan was trying to impact fear into Leo but Leo didn't even looked at him twice. "Get that fucking mouth of yours shut or I'll leave him and deal with you!" Ethan shrugged, stepping back. Jack took him by the wrist some distance away and whispered into his ears. "Listen, now I want you to stay out of this. The princess paid me to get my men here to eliminate Clara but he stood up for her and so far has done farther than I could ever imagine in beating my men." Ethan stepped aside from him upon
Clara laid on the floor groaning in pains, Henry and Elene consoled her till she was back to her feet. "Where's him?" She asked as she was back to consciousness. "Who?" Elene asked her with an irritated face. At this point, her position didn't mean anything. She was angry that her boss still asked for the man that humiliated her. She thought that it would be either Leo or Jack she was asking about. "I mean Leo." "Hmm," she scoffed. "Why are you asking about him when he assaulted you. Don't you have respect for yourself?" "Do you even know the reason I'm asking?" Clara signaled both her and Henry to leave the hall. Looking around, there was no one and there were traces of blood. She feared that should they be caught here, they would be suspected. "I'm a bit worried Jack's men might come after us. He has created this problem, and now he's gone. Such a person can run away to anywhere." "Exactly," Elene confirmed. "Let's be going out of here now! The princess is gone, Leo is gone. W
