Although Leo fell asleep fast due to his work stress, his fiancé, Melissa was up all night, in thoughts. Henry had really gotten to her with their conversation. The questions from the reporter also did. She spent the whole day thinking about it. Now, she also spent the whole night thinking about it."Could it be really true?!" She asked her self. "Could he be cheating on me with other woman and man?" She asked herself again. She really started to believe and live him again, but this recent happening had her mind far back. She could not stop her self from pondering. She soon later slept, but it was already dusk, so when Leo woke up, she was fast asleep already. Leo had his bath and ate, thinking that when he was ready for work, she would be awake before then. He wanted to talked to her about the last night before going to work. He was however disappointed that she wasn't awake when he was about leaving for work. He did not want to disturb her, so he let her sleep, while he le
Elene cleared her throat right before Leo, she was his wife's personal assistant. Leo stared at her with a smirkful reaction."Mr Leo, I'm here to pass to you the information your wife sent me.""So my wife can no longer come out of her office to meet me but you?" He questioned. He was invited to her new office for the first time, three weeks after she assumed the position of the New Duchess of Manila.In the community, she was the most eligible being a Masters Degree Holder in the Leadership field and also showing leadership skills. Leo wondered what she was about to say but he felt bad not being able to see her in person, all his hope was to see her."She's quite busy so she can't come to see you, and besides it isn't so significant to see you before she can pass her message across to you!" The PA said with so much of an irritated expression on her face. "Then don't bother about passing the information to me. I'm her husband, whenever she's ready to tell me, she will come see me."
Leo decided to go to the park to sit and think of this disappointment that had befallen him. His heart was heavy, right there he didn't know where to go. As Clara has divorced him, she's sure to send him out of the apartment her family gave her right from when she was a teen."How am I going to survive?" He asked himself. He didn't want to show these emotions while he was with her, it would cause her to laugh at him. "I'm fucking frustrated right now!" He grunted, dropping his hands which he was using to support his chins. Clara was richer than him, her family was well to do, so she most of the time took care of him before she attained her current status. Even before his divorce, she did see to his needs although sometimes it came with bits of insults. He would have overlooked it if she didn't ask for a divorce as he loved her so much. Seeing the way he loved and had her genuine interest at heart even though he was poor, he vowed. "She'll absolutely regret this, I promise her!" He
Linn stood there seeming defeated, she turned around to watch as Leo was leaving. She didn't want him to leave scotfree without being hurt. She saw at that point a van of SWAT which was the most ruthless sect of the police force patrolling, she raised her voice welling. These cops were patrolling since this park was dangerous in the past, they now patrol to ward off criminals. "Help! Help! Come back here, you have injured my son!" She kept screaming. "Please help, officers. He abused me, assaulted my son, now he's getting away!" She even had fake tears in her eyes, after this thought came up in her mind, she hurriedly took up a razor and slashed her wrist and punched her face so hard that it became red. This she did to lay the accusation ok Leo, so the police would believe. "Heyy, heyy!" The cops went after Leo. He was still walking along the pathway, almost reaching the gate of the park when he felt heavy grips from both sides. He turned immediately, he almost fainted seeing thes
"But Clara, you can't just let this poor asshole harass us this way, he wouldn't ever have respect for us and you in particular no matter who you later become!" Linn emphasized. She kept insisting that her daughter do something. "It's not a small position, being a Duchess!"With time, Clara's anger was fuming. It increased as her mother was talking more to her. "Mom, you don't need to worry, I'll handle this. Take Fred to the nearest clinic, then the physiotherapist will take care of his condition."Linn was now happy, she could now go away with her son. While they went away, she picked up her phone to call Leo, her ex-husband. This call hit Leo while he was inside the car with the Princess, Melissa.Melissa was such a free person, she gestured to him to pick the call with a smile. He was surprised by this gesture. He tapped on the accept button."Hello, why are you calling me now?" His voice was stern and filled with disgust."Heyy, listen to me. If you want good and not trouble, yo
"No wonder the king acts ruthless and disorderly at times, he has some mental issues!" Leo wondered inside of him. But he tried his best not to judge, it wasn't his fault after all. He was keen on making the king well, this time around not really because of money but out of his love for serving his country, according to news, the king hasn't been able to rule for some time now, Melissa has been the Acting royalty kept in his place for the meantime. Leo wanted to use this chance well. This was a great privilege. "A lot of doctors, both foreign and local had been employed to treat his traumatic brain injury but none could, some say surgery would be needed while others say it's pre-cancer symptoms, others tumors but all were wrong.""And you didn't believe any of them?" Leo replied to Melissa's complaints."Why would I believe them?" She shrugged her shoulders. "When they tried all they could but couldn't bring him back to a good, conscious state?" "Oh. So why do you believe in me?"
Though Leo was still confident in his skills, he felt it was needed he withdrew on time, he didn't want any further accusations from the royal family member."These people wouldn't believe me no matter what I do, it's best I withdraw now!" Picking his phone, he was about to leave. Melissa sensed this, she became unhappy. "Please begin the treatment, you don't have to mind all these bunch of fools!" She gingered, before he leaves. "If it's only you, your highness, I'd stay but I'd like to fulfill their wish so that they might have peace of mind." He insisted. "And I insist," the senior doctor said. "If you like you take it, if you don't like it, you leave, my princess," he said with a very serious face. "From the facts I've derived about the king's condition, it's a sign of cerebral palsy. He would be bedridden for life in the next three months if no surgery is conducted on him."Colton was back into the room without them knowing. "I know what she's trying to do, she wants the king
Leo slapped the king behind his right ear and then his left ear, twice. He began to massage it slowly, people standing around wondered why he was doing, especially the doctor that said he would kneel before him should he revive the king. "What's this fool doing here, let him get out of here. He's only going to compound issues!" He moved forward to push Leo off the side of the king's bed but Melissa came up in front of him, standing on his way and giving him deadly stares. "If you go near him again, I'll stab you!"He was scared and retreated. Before a calm and loving princess which everyone loved could say this, then it was serious. "Why are you always bent on causing confusion here?" She talked back at him. The doctor tried to avoid the gaze. Everyone's attention once returned to Leo and the king, when they watched his heartbeat and pulse, it was reversing back to normal. The next moment the king was seated on his bed, calm and quite thoughtful. "What's happening? What happened
