As soon as he got to the elevator, that's when Leo realized that this wasn't any regular type of building. The paintings on the wall spoke volumes, they were the kinds he heard about but never really got the chance to see. But now they were right in front of him.He fought himself countless times while he followed Dylan against deviating from his duty and going to look at paintings and the decors on the wall. He knew why he was there, and he proceeded to act accordingly. He believed that everything else would come after.As they walked towards the elevator, Dylan turned and entered an adjacent hallway from where they were. This left Leoperplexed and he had to ask."Aren't we using an elevator?"This question made Dylan laugh hard."Those sad elevators?"His replies got Leo even more confused."Please what do you mean by sad?""Well, those elevators are meant for the staff. We don't use it""Oh, so which one are we supposed to use then?"Just right in front of him, Dylan typed in a num
It was a gloomy afternoon, Leo sat in his room thinking about his lost wife, he loved Clara so much, even up till now. Melissa only came up along the line, as of recent, she was getting proud. Coupled with the fact he didn't get a job, he was feeling bad. He sighed and stood up from the seat to go lie on the bed, facing the ceiling with thoughts about his life which was still bothering him, when suddenly his cell phone rang. He picked it up. It was a strange number. "Hmm, who's this again?" "Maybe it's an emergency."His mind was taken back to how he first met the princess, a strange number had called him like this and when he picked, it was her calling on him to come and treat the king. So he picked it. "Hello," a thick, masculine voice sounded from the other end of the line. The voice sounded unfamiliar to him. "Who's this?" He tried to maintain a polite voice, even when the person calling him sounded kind of rude and arrogant. "It's the King's special assistant," the man a
Turning over, he let out a gasp. Melissa and Clara! Both seeing him turn up, stood up in surprise, their eyes glaring wide. "What are you doing here, Leo?" Melissa didn't sound welcoming at all. Leo stared at them for a long time before saying a word, he was as well shocked seeing both of them, rivals sitting down to a talk in Melissa's office. "I guess this talk must be about me!" "Why make an assumption which you aren't sure of?" Melissa cautioned him. Clara got a project to sign at the princess' office, at first she thought she wouldn't even accept her since they were rivals. Appearing at her door, she saw how the green light popped up on the button of the door. She was accepted, her very first surprise was when her appointment with her was approved and she got an email. Now Clara was wondering if this was a plan, she suspected the princess to invite him as at the time she was here meanwhile he came for another purpose. "Why are you here?" The princess who was getting furio
"Why this?" Leo was annoyed. He couldn't watch someone else humiliate the woman who was once his wife. "I love to be the only one." His reason was that Clara did nothing wrong to Melissa, so why the great hatred. Clara could wish to return to him, it was just a wish, why the hatred. "Let her be, she's not worth it!" Leo said, bending over to pick the files. It was a set of land documents, from the architectural drawings, a structure was going to be assigned and perhaps this was what she brought to Melissa to sign. He finished picking them and Clara was expecting him to hand it over to her, she stretched her hand, but rather he turned around after glaring at her hand to show her he's seen it, he dropped it on the table and returned back with his serious face. “Whatever, it doesn't matter so far as you bent down to pick it, you're still low." She murmured. "You're daring me?" Leo responded. "Of course, I am and there's nothing you can do. You're such a low servant and that you shall
"Remember I'm the poor fellow you all know," he whispered into the ears of the officer that slapped him. He heard it all but he couldn't do anything. He was too weak to even raise his head. Leo climbed down the stairs, walking triumphantly. The news of what he did had spread quickly by the running officers, the rest who were stationed downstairs shifted paving way for him to pass, they didn't want his trouble. Now that he was sure the king wasn't planning to send him away from the palace, he was bold enough. It would be some other thing although he didn't know what it was going to be. He returned back to his apartment to change up. During the fight, his shirt had stuck on a small nail on the wall and tore, he didn't want to look like a gangster before the king even when he took him as a son. Clara, although harassed by Melissa and laughed at by Leo arrived at home smiling, she pretended as if everything was alright when in fact she was thinking of what had happened to her. Henry w
“Hey love, come over. I want to introduce you to someone.” Clara was so excited her man came exactly the same time her best friend was there. She didn't really know him, so she wanted to introduce him to her. “This is Mr. Patrickson's son, Henry. He's the heir to the multi million dollars Patrickson Group of Companies!” Henry was overjoyed as Clara introduced him this way, he stretched out his hand holding a very important face. Caroline stretched out her hand too to shake him. “So, you’re Henry Patrickson? It’s a great pleasure to meet you!” She said with a smile. Just seeing him, she knew he was an important personality. "He's one of the most distinguished elite in the state and he has more respected status than Leo. I'm sorry to say this because they are incomparable." “Our family is honored indeed,” Linn was smiling broadly.“It's indeed great too mom, I can't miss or come late for such an important event. I'm happy to see you this afternoon.” Henry greeted him warmly.Clara w
"Hmmm," he sighed as soon as he imagined two persons who would actually come to be sad about this. "Your majesty," he leaned to whisper into his ears. "Wouldn't your son be angry and take this away, he's really not happy with me."The king put forth a slight frown. "I'm more powerful than him, I have all the authority so he can't do anything to obstruct you, you have Princess Melissa to back you up after my death but you yourself got to be strong."This was also what he had in mind, he didn't want to be called dependent on a woman. Most of the guests present were pretending to be smiling as the contract signing process was going on but in reality they were having evil plans deep inside of them. A senior staff of the Royal palace took out his phone, snapped Leo when he least expected, posted it on X and Facebook. "See who's going to take over from the king. He has handed over the billion dollar IT center to him just now." Adding a mocking sticker to the caption, he posted it. Immedia
He quickly picked it."What could be happening?" He was anxious, this was the only family member of Clara he had rapport with but since her mom started misbehaving with her, they didn't give him access to Pa Mark. He was so depressed, thoughtful of how much he was going to miss him but he couldn't force himself to force her grandfather, he only waited for the day date would bring them together again.Perhaps today was the day. He picked the call. "Hello pa," since he saw him as a father figure, he often addressed him as this."Yes my son, I wished to have you come to see me before I die. It's quite a long time, Linn and her daughter told me you despised me and stopped seeing me. Did I do anything wrong?"Leo was left speechless. He didn't know what to say but right from the beginning, he suspected they would talk bad of him to Pa Mark, he literally froze at the exact spot he stayed."I can't say anything until I meet you," he responded. Even the thought of hearing his death soon shatte
