"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
Melissa walked in front of Leo leading the way as they arrived at the palace. Leo forgot and thought she was going towards the residential part of the palace when Melissa signaled him. "We are going to my office, we have this important issue to talk about." She told him. He didn't need to think too much, he suspected it was going to be about the rivalry between her and Clara, who he preferred more but he still had to listen, it could be something entirely different. He told himself. As they arrived at the office, they sat down. There was no waste of time as Melissa began. "So tell me, Leo, who do you want between me and Clara?" It rang exactly the way he expected, he snapped his fingers in amazement. "What are you doing?" Melissa who thought he was mocking her asked. "I'm asking you a serious question and you're joking over it?" He furrowed his brows. "What do you mean, Melissa?" He thought she was joking nit until he saw her serious face. He was forced to believe he had taken
Leo upon returning from seeing the king got so tired, he wondered what was going on. He had never been this tired. This visit brought him much hope that soon things would change. "Melissa thinks I'll forever be under her but things will soon work out differently." When he went to the office, the king sat him down, asking what he wanted. "I'll do it for you, just tell me." "Your majesty, I'd love to be an independent man so I don't get to feed too much from your daughter's support." He was really serious about this and for two hours, this was what he was discussing with the king who took him as a son. He returned to his apartment, hoping to have some rest. *********In a fairly lit apartment in the palace in the late hours of the afternoon......Leo saw himself with Melissa lying down on the bed, something that rarely happened, they were having a little chat."Melissa, Melissa . Come on wake up, you've been sleeping for a long time now. I want to speak with you." "Leo, I'm trying
