2024-01-10 18:39:22"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, you call my mom now, ask for her location and go there right now and kneel and apologize to them."
He laughed at the kneel. "And if I don't, what will happen?" He didn't waste time to reply.
"Gosh! You're proving stubborn?"
"Well, I think you're just kidding!" He chuckled with a great sarcastic tone. "You weren't like this, Clara. Who changed you?"
"Because I've changed," she curtly said.
"Sorry to say so, I've likely changed too."
Clara gasped at Leo's boldness.
Shock and irritation took over Clara as the person she was talking to wasn't even bothered at all.
"Next time filter out some statements from your mouth before you spit them out, I'm not the kind of man you use to treat so badly!" Leo knew this would really hurt his ex-wife, he repeated one of her statements in a proud way, then ended the call.
"What the fuck! Leo has the audacity to end my call! Has he forgotten who I am?"
"I'll surely teach him a lesson!" She dropped her phone into her bag, then walked up her car murmuring with anger to herself.
When the call was done, Melissa began to speak to her.
"Was that your ex-wife?" She asked with a grin. Leo was glad she couldn't get to hear all the shit Clara said to him.
"Yes, your highness!"
"Call me Melissa!" Leo was surprised but he had no option other than to comply.
"Yes, she once told me you are excellent at mental healing."
"Who?" He got shocked.
"Your wife," Melissa jerked her head to the left. "But that was almost three months ago, she spoke so nicely of you, I wonder why she would have to treat you this way now!"
Leo's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe his wife who despised him would recommend him to the princess. He thought she hated him all round.
The truth was now getting unveiled by Leo as of how Princess Melissa got to know of him. It turned out to be that the location she stated on the call the Royal Clinic which was the best in the country. It had the VIP departments and was mostly attended by members of the royal family and the elite class.
"My brother is waiting for us at the hospital," she heaved, probably she wanted to say something which hurt her so much. Leo was wondering what was going on, who he's gonna be treating. His heart was occupied by so much thoughts at the moment.
She gestured to him to get into the car.
She drove him to the hospital, then took him to the special ward. It was VIP. Meanwhile she hadn't told him what was wrong.
Opening the door, he saw the king lying in a critical state. He almost stepped backward, he was shocked to realize he would be treating the king of all people, then he was curious to know what's wrong with him, even before he got to examine him.
"Here's my younger brother, Prince Colton." Melissa introduced him to him.
This was his first time dealing directly with members of the royal family. Colton descended his eyes on him, scanning him with disgust from head to toe.
"Oh, he looks like this in real life?" He questioned, his face showed he didn't believe in his capabilities. "Well, just give me a handshake. I thought he was an outstanding medical expert. Are you sure such a person like him deserves to lay hands on the king?"
"Hmm," Leo sighed silently so that he could not be heard. He was secretly pissef by this. "Well, I might excuse you, your highness, if you don't believe in my capabilities."
He knew what Colton was expecting, lots of explanations and telling of his achievement to make him believe but he wasn't ready for all these.
"The king has a traumatic brain injury which makes him unstable. Don't listen to him but treat the king. He judges by appearance, I've warned him several times!" Melissa gave him a pleading gaze which made him decide to set to work.
"I'll try my best!" As he responded, he was also promising himself this.

"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?"

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

Melissa and Leo sat in the backseat of a silver Benz.“Mr. Leo, this is the royal family’s honor crest. I'll love you to have this as a sign of recognition, you've been a great, useful help to us today! It's a thing to remember!" “With this, you will be treated as an honored guest in any event held at the palace and outside, you will be a VIP and you will be treated as such. I haven't forgotten my promise of marrying you as well, you know, you're such a nice, cool guy, don't know why your ex-wife let you go.”“Princess, I don’t need this.” Leo shook his head. He sensed if he collected, it would look like he's greedy or saved the king because of what he'd gain. “Don’t worry, Leo. This is just a personal gesture,” Melissa said with a smile. "You need to accept it for memory's sake!" “That’s very kind of you, Princess. Thank you very much.” Leo bowed and accepted the card.This was a golden gift with a diamond glass over it. Since it was a gift from her, it would come in handy. As the

"What?” Leo was as shocked as hell. He never thought this is what Melissa would say. Taking a closer look, he found that her beauty was different from Clara’s. She was more slender, had bigger boobs and ass, long straight hair, her face was very smooth, her skin glowing like she used a body treatment from space. She could ensnare men with her bewitching charms.“Why are you so shocked?” Melissa’s breasts heaved as she laughed heartily at Leo’s face. Her scent caught him in this seduction. It was all Leo could do to tear his eyes away from her voluptuous curves. The more he looked at her, the harder it was not to gawk at her figure. He was being tempted so hard. “Leo, back to the issue at hand. I need to ask a favor from you again.” Melissa ’s expression grew serious, like she wasn't the one that just tried to seduce him.“What is it?” Leo asked.“You know that all my bodyguards are stationed at the hospital, so I don’t have anybody to protect me. Now that this incident has happened,

"Clara, nice to meet you. How may I be of help to you?” Leo’s eyes widened when he saw Clara walking toward him, but his gaze turned cold in a moment.“What a coincidence seeing you here.”Clara choked back the speech she had prepared to explain herself and greeted Leo stiffly, especially seeing the princess. She thought she was with him for only that day. If someone had told her this was her ex's new love interest, she wouldn't have believed it. Who would have thought that it was true? Although they were divorced, Clara felt a little uncomfortable seeing her ex-husband being with another woman. She was kind of jealous. “Leo, is she a friend of yours?” Melissa asked. She sized Clara up with her eyes, scanning her from head to toe. She was hostile towards Clara, seeing her as not her class. Clara widened her eyes, is the princess who was her acquaintance no longer recognizing her but this was an act from the princess. “She’s my ex-wife,” Leo replied.“Really?” Melissa opened her eye

She was staring at him directly because of his panic, her influence made him want to dissolve away."Henry, this is my ex." Clara then turned towards him. "Leo, this is my recent man!" She feigned a smile, "I'm glad I met him immediately after we divorced.""When you should even be sad losing him?" Melissa asked."Who, your highness?" She pretended as if she didn't know."Your ex I mean, you know you've lost a jewel. His type is rare among men?"Clara blinked her eyes, forcing to look away, although her emotions were getting more and more obvious but she couldn't help. She didn't want to show it but pretended as though all is well with her being with Henry."I see no reason, with due respect, your highness," he bowed.

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

Immediately he slammed the door and left, Clara felt back to her feet and cried hard. She wasn't lying to him when she said she was in total regret. Her mother made her leave the best man in the world for the worst man to ever walk on it. She cried without seizing. Henry was already out. He stepped into the card looked round and did not see the security man. He horned to alert the security man. When he did, the security man came from inside and rushed to open the gate.

Clara stood up at once, still trying to understand why her husband would just hit her. "What did you do that for?!" She asked him."Are you trying to act naive?!" He said to her as he slapped her again. "She held her cheek firm. "What was that for?!" She asked out loud, almost crying. "You will know when I am done with you!" He said in a very angry tone. He then took his belt out and started to flog her brutally. She cried so loud, the security guard outside could hear her voice. He felt pity for her because of how she was always maltreated by her husband. He sat outside and wondered at reason would make a man treat his wife this way. Her cries were very loud and disturbing. "Why does this man maltreat his wife this way?" He asked himself. "He is ill mannered." He added. Normally, he heard we cry many times, but today's cry was too loud to a avoided. He wanted to go in and confront Henry because it was too much, but later decided to forget about it. The tears were disturbin

Capone could not believe this. "I said it has been disposed of in the ocean where I always dispose of my bodies." He said to the prince again."I do not care, I want it out." The prince said. "I am sorry my prince. I can not do that." He said to the prince. "It is deep under the sea and is along with all the bodies I always out there. It will be hard to find." He replied to the prince. "It does not matter. I can pay divers to go in there and bring the bodies out. I can be you in a day, he will be found." The prince said to him. "I am sorry. That place is my disposal spot and it is a secret, even to my men. I can not let anyone find it." He said to the prince. The prince was disappointed. "Don't you have at least a picture of his full body after death?" He asked Capone. "I do not, my prince," Capone responded. "You should have saved something to show me as proof." The prince said to him, looking upset. "That was not the deal of our agreement," Capone said to him. "The deal wa

Capone stared at the bodies in Charlie's apartment for a while. He wondered how to clear them out. There were three dead bodies and he was just one person. He thought about calling his men to come and aid him, but he settled for not calling them at all. "If I do, they will figure I did not kill the target when they do not see him." He thought to himself. "And words could get out to Prince Colton. I can not have that happening." He also thought. He decided to do it himself, but he also had to be smart about it. He went out and looked through the window of the apartment. The window was facing the back of the building. He observed the scene and noticed it was a dead part of the street. No one ever got into it. He then had an idea. He quickly went out and ran into his car. He brought out bags and tapes. They were meant to be used to wrap Charlie after looking at him and taken away, but since things took a dramatic turn, they would now be used for another purpose. To wap his men

"I know I've seen you somewhere before." The security guard said. "Do you mind taking off your glasses?" He asked Charlie politely. "Yes, I do. The lights aren't good for me." Charlie said, trying as much as possible to remain unknown. His wife soon felt there was a problem. She stood up and turned to her husband. "Honey. What is the matter?" She asked her husband. "Nothing. I am just thinking I know this guy and trying to figure out where we last saw each other." He said to his wife. He very well knew he saw Charlie somewhere and it was not for a good reason, that was why he was interested. "Please can I just have a glimpse of your face without the glasses?" He said to Charlie. Charlie knew now and here that this man was not playing. He was kin on knowing who he was. Charlie knew that to escape this, he had to pull a new stunt. "Why are you harassing me?!"

"Well, I can not just leave like that. You have to give me something. And I have to clean this mess up."Capone said, pointing at his dead men. "I have two hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash," Charlie said. "If that will do." He asked Capone. "Yes. " Capone said. "It sure will. " He added to Charlie. Charlie then walked to his bag and took out money wrapped in a paper bag. He gave the money to Capone. "Here it is," he said to Capone and he gave the money out. Capone took it, quickly tore through, and looked in. "This is good, man," Capone said to him. "Make sure you stray very far from this place. " Capone said to him. "If o get bursted for letting you go, next time will not be merciful," Capone added. "Thank you, Capone," Charlie said to Capone. "Now leave before I change my mind," Capone said to Charlie.

They still had the guns pointed at each other. Charlie, knowing he wouldn't win this had to find another way around it. "Why don't you let me go?!" He said to Capone. Capone thought for a while. "I can't. " Capone said. "You know, I am just like you, I have failed at work before. I always deliver." He added. Charlie's heart was now racing. He knew he was. getting out of there, so he wanted to pull the trigger. Capone knew when someone wanted to pull the trigger. Anytime someone wanted to pull the trigger especially to kill another person, they always experienced an involuntary rise in emotion. It was something that learning to control took years. When he saw Charlie being that way, he knew that Charlie wanted to pull the trigger. "Do not do it. " He said to Charlie. "I know you want to, but if you do, you are a dead man already," Capone added. Charlie knew that Capone could detect when someone wanted to shoot at him or another person, but how did Capone always know? Capone neve
