"Well man, Julia told me everything. I don't know if you think this is really a secret!" As he was about to respond to this, a catchy news popped up on his phone. "Patrickson Group of Companies set to close down in May….." This got him really shocked, at the middle of his conversation with Clara, he paused. All that happened didn't occur to him. It was as though he was in another world. "What the fuck is going on?" He muttered to himself. Clara, out of anger rose up and hit him on the shoulders. "You think you can escape this by pretending to be speaking with yourself?" A real footage of his company being under robbery popped up as he clicked on the link attached to the headline news. This took him to X, where the video played. The night street was illuminated by a dim green light and his company, manufacturing branch at May Avenue was under severe gun attack. Looking on the floor of the street were the entrance gate securities, who were shut. "Fuck!" In the room, he was heari
"Oh God, I can't really believe this." Leo was imagining how he was gonna go about his new position, it was such a great one that would require dedication and sacrifice from him. A knock was heard on his door. "Who would come knock on my door at this time of the night?" He scoffed, he hated being distracted from serious thoughts like this. Since he came to live in the palace, nothing as such had happened. "This looks quite suspicious!" This he said inside of him. "Well, let me check it out!" He had a door camera which he could turn on and watch what was happening outside of his house. So he turned it on. It was Melissa. He zoomed the camera to show her face. She was quite excited. "Hmm, she will have nothing really important to say," so with this he returned to his bed and sent an automatic message to her through the sound system. "The person you are looking die is sleeping soundly!" Melissa grunted from outside and stormed off. "Shouldn't you be sleeping at this time?" He
Henry upon waking up to hear that the chief of the investigation agency was out of the country and his case will be on hold till she returned decided to run to take it to the king. He had in mind that if the king doesn't do anything, he's going to take the law into his hands. He had two major suspects in mind, Melissa and Leo. "Why is it that for over three decades this company had been in existence, something of this sort never happened until now that bastard is gonna be made the prime minister?" He was so bent on knowing this. This was his main worry. "So he's trying to show his power even before he gets into office, what then will happen when he's in office."He was speaking on zoom with his assistants, this case was bigger than them as it concerned the princess, so they couldn't really say anything. Rather than speaking against the princess, incase it leaked, they entered defensive mood. "What--How are you sure it's the princess who have got a hand in this?" One of his assist
The king stood up and left their midst, which meant that Melissa was in charge. Leo grinned so hard, sinister motives were written all over his face. Even when Melissa was going to take action on this, he was the one controlling her. “Huh!" She moved close to where he was sitting, Henry stood up quite nervous although he was trying to cover it. "It seems like you have forgotten where you are and who you reported to the king, huh?" She brushed her face with widened eyes over Henry who jerked his head back to avoid clashing with Melissa's. "Come on, talk dude!" Leo bullied. "I couldn't expect a low entity like you to come up before the king to report your next queen." "It shows how senseless you are, so all these while you were only acting wise?" Henry balled his fist, gritting his teeth. "I wouldn't spare these two fools a chance to scold the living hell inside of them if I wasn't here!" He said to himself, not knowing it was audible. "Seriously?" Melissa moved towards him. "You
Henry was breathing heavily as he was forcibly made to stand up. He was going to sue the princess and Leo to court for this horrible treatment after he gets well, he thought in his mind. As the soldier released him, so he could stand on his own, he ended up falling to the ground. The beating was too hard for him to bear. He passed out. Melissa signaled on the soldiers. "Tell him to take him to the hospital." Leo realized it was time for his meeting with the king, so he hurried off. He had watched his wish come true. He felt no pity for Henry believing that if he was in the same condition as him, he would have treated him worse. The doctors rushed to the theater when they heard it was the son of Sir Patrickson of the Patrickson Group of Companies that was being tortured this way. They tried to question the soldiers of what happened to him, most already suspected they must have caught him on the road and tortured him. Acting out of pride because they were armed, they refused to a
"And you aren't going to say anything with the insult your daughter is giving to me?" Sir Patrickson turned towards the king complaining, his face was so bitter. The king made an indifferent gesture towards him. Sir Patrickson breathed so heavily, he would never let them go without being punished but not in the palace as it seemed they had a lot of power in the palace. It was their domain, so he wouldn't get any justice should he start a fight here. He gestured to his men and they left with him without saying a word. "We will stage an ambush outside for Leo, the Princess too." He told the head officer. "Don't you think the case will get complicated should we include the princess?" The leader of the men asked. They all seemed uncomfortable with the ambush topic. "I think the best thing for you to do sir is to sue them in court, maybe an international court where they would not be able to pervert justice," a second officer contributed. Sir Patrickson paused and thought about this f
Leo wasn't expecting this but he vowed to deal with anyone that would further come into his way, because of Henry. He was furious as he trekked on foot back to the palace. He looked like a demon that was let out of a cage. The security at the gate came out in their numbers to ask what happened. He was now one of the most important personalities in the palace, he didn't say a word to them. The king was having a meeting with one of his senior officials about making him the prime minister. Leo wanted to tell him that he might kill Henry and his dad, Sir Patrickson. The king asked for no disturbance, so the security didn't let him in. Melissa came out to meet him here. "What's going on? Why do you look this way?""Hmm," he sighed. He was tired of questions, so he just turned around and left. Melissa stood right there frozen in shock, especially as she saw the bruises on his skin. "Wait! Wait!" She couldn't catch up with Leo's speed. Vengeance was on Leo's heart, instead of going back
"Has he gone insane?" The officer who confessed whispered to the rest. None of them were expecting this. "But I said sir, Leo and the princess, Melissa has a hand in the robbery of your company, now runned by your son." He shouted boldly. "Is that how to pay a thief, an armed robber and rights abuser?" He shook his head with disgust. Sir Patrickson yelled. "Will you be silent or you will continue to tell me what to do, leaving your rightful job?""But you asked us........""Take him away!" He motioned to his colleagues. They forced him away, dragging him far away as he persisted, two pulled their hands over his mouth so he wouldn't say much. Henry stepped back, as he wasn't sure of what his dad was up to. His mind was telling him his dad was now a traitor. He was hiding at the corner having a puzzled face. His eyes stared out wide as he watched what was going on.In his eyes, he was an influential man whose standing was at the top of San Marino. How could he reduce himself so l
