"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?"  

"Because your wife told me about you, giving me so many cases you've successfully treated for free!" He was a bit down, upon seeing that it was his wife who recommended him to such a great opportunity in his life, should he gain anything great later on in the future, it would be because of her. This was his chance to compensate himself for the many people he treated in the past who ended up not giving him anything after settling their challenges. 

Colton cleared his throat to get his attention. "Tell me, which college of medicine did you attend?" He was still doubting Leo. 

"I didn't go to any special college of medicine but even those who went couldn't treat the king's case!" This silenced the prince . 

The next moment, he felt a warm touch over his shoulders, in the bit of a caress. "Don't worry, no matter the opposition I stand with you." Melissa assured. This gave him joy that at least someone believed in his natural skills. 

They weren't done speaking when the door opened and the immediate younger brother of the king walked in, behind him were three huge and revered doctors in the hospital. They could be detected from their stethoscope and the medical report files in their hands. 

Melissa's heart wasn't in terms with Steve right from the beginning, but Colton trusted him so much after his father. She raised her eyes in a sinister way and stared at him as he emerged, the doctors stepping to his side. 

"What do you guys want here?" She questioned them. 

"Who's this young, tattered man here. I'm sure he must be from the streets. What's such a person doing here?" Steve barked, staring deadly at Leo. 

"Are you insane, are you out of your senses? First of all, why should you response to my question with a question and why barking at him? You know him from somewhere?"

Leo couldn't believe that the princess was actually speaking for him." 

"Melissa, why would you talk to our uncle this way?" It could be seen that Colton was angry. He was fuming inside seeing her sister talk to his favorite person like this. What pained him most was that she was defending a poor, broke guy. 

"Will you shut your mouth right there, have you forgotten I'm your elder sister and likewise senior you in royal ranking!" 

"Since when did you start the bossy lifestyle, because of this wretched guy? So sad!" He shrugged his shoulders. Leo stared at him so seriously, wishing he wasn't the prince, he would have replied to him so badly. 

"I can't let you bring such a person to treat the king, who knows of his intention? He might even kill the king" Leo gasped in shock, withdrawing back at such a statement. 

"Excuse me, Princess," one of the doctors who came with Steve said, trying to get attention from Melissa by stepping forward a bit.

She turned to look at him sternly. "What is it?" She asked.

"Do you know this man personally from somewhere?" He asked courtly.

"No?"

"I'm sorry to say, I was just bothered about the way you have faith in him and because of him you're quarreling your own uncle." The first doctor laid his accusation.

"What an accusation?" Leo shrugged his shoulders. He saw that the princess began a quarrel with her uncle as soon as he stepped, it wasn't because of him. 

"Your Highness," Leo decided to behave formal as others were around. "The treatment ought to be started as soon as possible, delay is dangerous in his case from my own level of assessment."

"Oh right, begin the treatment process!" The Princess gave him her orders.

"I'm a senior doctor who has worked for over thirty years in the hospital. What are the instruments he will be using to handle this treatment or are you using your hands?" The same doctor questioned.

"This is serious?" The second one muttered to himself.

"Well, it's a natural technique I'm gonna be applying. But wait, I heard some doctors who were here used all of those medical tools, yet were not able to achieve their goal. Do you still think I need all of those to show my capability?" He asked them with all boldness. 

"One word again from any of you and you will be kicked out of this room!" The princess barked at them, as she was getting angrier. They all kept mute.

"Let me give you a final warning, I wouldn't say anything after this so you wouldn't tell me how senior you are to me," Prince Colton told his sister.

"Should anything happen to the king, you and especially him would be held responsible!" He pointed his fist at Leo. "As for him, even killing his entire generation would not be enough to repay for the king's life!"

He stormed out of the room.

    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

    Seeing Clara walking with the princess and her ex towards him, Henry became puzzled. "Hey baby, what's going on here?" The princess' approaching scared him. 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. ".... how you should take happiness in such a person as this wretched idiot!""Who knows perhaps my poverty and f

    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

    Leo stared at the documents which were handed over to him, Jeff stood by his side and was staring at what he was going to do with them. He thought about this for a while, then a thought rang in his mind."Yes, I know what to do exactly, I'll make her work under me. I'll make her join the royal family but she would be under me, let's see what Henry would do." He grinned with a sinister expression.Jeff saw him nodding his head and didn't know what was going on, he became confused."Hope there's no issue, sir?" "What?" Leo widened his eyes, influencing him."No.... Nothing!" He stammered. He tried to remove his eyes away from staring into his face. It seemed as though Leo was persisting, so he decided to explain further."I just saw you shaking your head, and grinning......" He stammered, towards the end his voice trailed. Leo wasn't happy with this, he raised his eyes and glared at him briefly. "I'm sorry!" He apologized."I didn't mean to meddle in your business.""Good!" Leo nodded,

    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.

    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. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Henry yelled at him. "What were you doing inside?!" Henry asked him. "I am sorry sir. I just stepped in." He explained to his boss. "Sorry for yourself." Henry yelled at him. "Open that gate for me!" Henry said. The gate man then ran to the gate and opened. Henry drove through. He looked at Henry go and sighed in distaste.

    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.

    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?!" Charlie said to him rudely. "Do you think I stole something?" Charlie asked, still maintaining a rude demeanor. "That is n

    "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
