Valeria became John Smith's lover in a short space of two months since his arrival.

Their relationship, however, was kept a secret from public eye as John Smith insisted on anonymity.

Despite being lovers, Valeria still did not know what the man behind the mask looked like.

However, this didn't bother her. She was madly in love with John Smith.

She fantasized about getting married to him with a final revelation of him unmasked.

Madame Aurora, on the other hand, was impatient.

The subject of her hotel project had been brought up to John Smith once or twice.

He had shown his interest, but hadn't taken any form of action yet.

Madame Aurora had her eyes on Star beach.

She spoke with Desmond Dekker and was thrilled to hear he hadn't sold his beach to anyone.

Unknown to Madame Aurora, Desmond Dekker had lied to her under orders from Moses.

Star beach was in possession of the Doberman's clan.

This was all in accordance with Moses' plans.

He kept in touch with Henry at the Impe

    John Smith's days in the Imperial Hotel came to an end. Madame Aurora and the entire MOMO family got together to bid him goodbye. It was a grand affair. They needed to make sure John Smith enjoyed his stay at the Imperial Hotel before he leaves. “I'll surely return,” John Smith promised Madame Aurora. “Once I arrive at my nation, I'll execute the shipment of your gold with immediate effect.”Madame Aurora felt over the moon. “I can hardly wait. We should exchange emails so we can keep in touch.”But John Smith shook his head. “I can't allow that. It's part of my nation's regulations not to exchange contacts with foreigners. However, I'll reach out to you.”Madame Aurora was disappointed. “But how would you do that?”John Smith smirked. “We have our ways, of course. I'll message you the moment my private jet lands.”Madame Aurora grinned. “In that case, I'll wait.”John Smith turned to Valeria, who looked earnestly at him. “John Smith, let me come with you, please,” she pleaded.

    “I hired John Smith to scam the MOMO family.”A grave silence fell in the room as Moses finished dropping the bombshell. Madame Aurora was shaking like a cornered rabbit, her eyes growing wider a trifle. “You mean to tell me you're the one behind everything?” Madame Aurora asked, her voice sounding like metal. “You set me up with John Smith?!”“That's correct,” Moses said, his eyes fixed on her. “The reason the MOMO family is presently going through hell is because of me.”Glenn and Valeria were stricken with shock at this revelation. “You monster!” Glenn yelled, raising his fists. “How could you do this to us?”Moses glared at him. “Watch it, Glenn. If you hit me, I promise to make you regret it.”Glenn controlled himself with an effort. He had a murderous glint in his eyes.However, he was more afraid of what Moses would do to him if he struck him, so he conducted his boiling rage. “Why?” Madame Aurora asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “Why would you do that to me?”Moses

    Moses dropped the barbells to the ground as he stood up to wipe the sweat off his back. He had just finished his rep for the day, ending his gym activity. Albert waited for him with a bottle of chilled water. “Your water, young master. I have also prepared your favourite steam sauna.”“Thank you, Albert,” Moses said, collecting the bottle and pouring the water down his throat.“Your ride is ready,” Albert stated. “I've reserved a seat for you at the Twelve Leaf conference.”“I'll be on my way now,” Moses replied. “But first, I must take that sauna.”Albert nodded his approval as he stared at the muscles on Moses' body. “How impressive, young master. You've developed a fine physique in such a short time.”“Why, thank you, Albert,” Moses grinned at him, then ran up the stairs for his steam bath.Moses hadn't been wasting time while carrying out his revenge on the MOMO family. He had spent months lifting weights at the Dobermans clan's underground gym, and mastering karate and judo.

    “How dare you speak to me like that?!” Barnes hissed, puffing with anger.The paparazzi flashed their cameras at the scene, capturing both Barnes and Moses. Moses' dog growled its fangs threateningly at Barnes, but Moses cautioned it with a warning. “Stay!”Barnes was afraid of the Doberman pinscher, but he tried to act tough. “Better warn your mutt not to bite me, or I'll make you suffer for it.”Moses glared at Barnes. “I don't appreciate being slapped, Barnes. That was totally uncalled-for.”“And so what?” Barnes challenged. “You can't do anything to me.”“I'll give you a warning,” Moses said, his voice hard. “Kneel and apologize to me.”“Such audacity,” Mrs. Harlow came up behind him. “If there's anyone here who needs to kneel and apologize, it's you, Moses.”“That's right,” Barnes grinned. “Bow and apologize for being a miserable piece of garbage.”Moses took out his phone and dialed Genevieve's number. She answered on the first ring. “Good evening, chairman. What can I help yo

    “Moses, you did this to me!”“That's what you get for provoking me,” Moses replied darkly. “All your current projects across the twelve cities will be suspended and your properties seized. How do you like that?”Barnes gritted his teeth. “You fiend. How did you do it?”Moses smirked. “I told you, my clan is one of the pillars of the twelve cities. I still have a ton of influence around here.”“Bullshit,” Barnes barked at him. “I'll fight this. I have the best lawyers. I won't lose to you.”“You can't win,” Cleveland said sharply on the other line. “I control the lands and estates across the Twelve cities. You'll only be wasting your money on lawsuits. Give it up.”Barnes was shocked Cleveland was still on the line. Before he could open his mouth to respond to him, the phone went dead. Barnes felt as though the earth had opened to swallow him. “No way, this can't be happening to me.”To everyone's shock, Barnes sank to his knees and pulled at his hair in frustration. The paparazzi

    “Are you sure you want to meet my family?” Gwen asked as she drove through the gates of the Goldstein residence. “Wouldn't it be alright if I call your office?”Moses shook his head. “I insist. I would like to meet your family before we proceed with the contract.”Gwen pulled up before a fifteen-bedroom duplex with a spacious garden, and its own golf course. Moses was pleased with the building. “Does all your family live together in that building?”Gwen nodded. “My late grandfather insists we all reside together as a family under one roof.”“Who's the family's patriarch now?” Moses asked as they walked together towards the door. “My uncle,” Gwen replied. “He's a difficult person. Pay him no attention.”As they arrived at the front door, it swung opened, revealing an angry man. In the blink of an eye, the man reached out and slapped Gwen on the face. “You slut!” The man yelled. “You're bringing a man to the house now? How further do you wish to disgrace me, Gwen?”Moses stiffened i

    “Gwen's not taking that contract from you, Moses,” Richard barked, his face a deeper shade redder than before. “I'm warning you, Moses, stay away from my wife.”“The contract is already hers,” Moses said, his gaze set. “It's her choice to accept or reject it.”“She won't accept your contract because the Goldstein family is strongly opposed to it,” Uncle Harold chimed in. “You're done here, Moses. Get out.”Moses didn't argue. He turned to Gwen. “Gwen, this is your decision to make, not theirs. Take the contract and forge your path.”Uncle Harold slammed his fists on the table.“Gwen, if you dare accept that contract, you'll be disowned from the Goldstein family. I would strip all the connections and privileged under Goldstein constructions from your firm.”Gwen stiffened. Without her family's connection, her firm wouldn't survive long. Richard jumped in, his voice threatening. “And if you choose Moses over me, I'll divorce you. Don't think you can survive on your own without me, Gwen

    Bernie Silverman was startled. "You're the landlord of New Haven estate?"Moses nodded. "That's right. But don't tell anyone. I rather keep my identity a secret. Only a handful of people I trust knows I'm the landlord."Bernie Silverman had heard stories about the mysterious landlord and his prowess.This man standing before him not only bought New Haven estate but also destroyed Prince Harry and took control of his estate. Even as a billionaire, Bernie Silverman knew he was no match for Moses kind of wealth and power. "I'm shocked to hear this," Bernie said, taking a step back. "Why did you reveal yourself to me?"Moses smirked. "Well, first of all, I like you, Bernie. You're a good man but you're stupid. No offense, but with all that money in your bank account, you still can't control your women."Bernie was convinced Moses was the landlord. Only a powerful person could speak to him that way without any hint of fear. Moses went on. "Secondly, I hate your wives. Some weeks back

    Final warning

    "...I am the Mysterious landlord you've all heard about.”A long period of silence ensued in the dinning room as all three families stared at Moses in shock. “The mysterious landlord?” Mrs. Jackson whispered, her hand clenching her husband’s arm. "You came all the way here just to tell us you're the mysterious landlord who has been causing unrest in district twelve?"Moses regarded her for a while. "It might seemed so."Mr. James Bennett dropped his fork with a clatter, his jaw tightening. “Impossible,” he muttered, his voice barely audible. “You're an Uber driver. There's no way you could be our landlord.”Moses wrinkled his nose at James Bennett. “Why don't we ask the Washingtons what they think? They've always been suspicious of me.”Mr. Washington’s eyes widened, his lips parted as if to speak, but no words came out. Mrs. Washington gripped the edge of the table, her knuckles white. “You're... you're not bluffing now, are you Moses?” she stammered. Moses smiled faintly. “I ass

    The Washington Dinner

    The three top families in New Haven estate; the Washington family, the Jackson family and the Bennett family had a family dinner to discuss about the new development surrounding the mysterious landlord and Prince Harry's downfall. "There's something about this new landlord that we aren't noticing," Mr. Washington began. "And it's Moses.""That's right," Mrs. Washington added. "Despite the little we know of the Potters, it's obvious Moses Potters could be the new landlord."James Bennett and carol Bennett exchanged looks. "Moses Potters?" James Bennett ate his chicken. "The guy's an Uber driver. There's no way he could be the mysterious landlord.""I didn't believe it either at first," Mrs. Washington said. "But there's just so much going on that points to him. His major source of income remains unknown. I believe he's using this Uber driver job to hide something.""More importantly, he got released out of detention while Prince Harry took the heat.

    Detention

    Prince Harry sat on the edge of the cold steel bench in his detention cell like a homeless beggar. The gray walls felt as if they were closing in, amplifying his anger and frustration. When the sound of approaching footsteps echoed down the corridor, he jumped to his feet, gripping the bars with white-knuckled hands.The man who entered was tall and stoic, dressed in a crisp black suit. It was the royal advisor, Sir Archibald, the king's most trusted confidant. "Finally!" Harry barked. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you?""Sorry I took so long, your highness," Sir Archibald didn't bow. "There was a slight delay.""A slight delay?" Prince Harry scowled. "I've been in detention for two weeks. Look at me. Look at how my beards are all brown. I'm a prince for crying out loud."Archibald didn't say anything. Prince Harry slammed his hand against the wall. "This is an outrage! I demand the royal family intervene immediately. Use whatever influence, resources, or f

    The room fell silent. The other agents exchanged nervous glances, their eyes shaking from fear. "Did he just said war?" One of the agents whispered. "I didn't sign up for this," Another whispered back. "This is a serious matter."Harper stood frozen, as Jenkins’ words sank in. "How is it possible he's married to Queen Elizabeth?" He asked himself. "Is this guy for real?"The room remained silent with the weight of Jenkins' words pressing down on everybody. Harper’s hands trembled as he fumbled to unlock Moses’ handcuffs, the metallic click echoing in the silence. “I-I apologize,” Harper stammered, stepping back as Moses calmly rubbed his wrists.“Release the other woman immediately,” Harper barked at the other agents, his voice cracking. They scurried out of the room without hesitation.Moses stood to his feet, his Shadow hovering over everyone. Jenkins made the next move. "On your knees!" Jenkins roared, his authoritative voice slicing through the air like a blade. “Bow and g

    The interrogation

    Moses and Yuri were interrogated separately. The interrogation room was cold and bare, with a steel table bolted to the floor and a single flickering fluorescent light overhead. Moses sat in the lone chair, his hands cuffed to the table. The bald agent from earlier entered with a file under his arm and a cold expression written all over his face.“I'm agent Harper,” the bald agent threw the file onto the table. “I've dug through your file. A millionaire disguised as an Uber driver. Quite suspicious, don't you think?”Moses leaned back slightly, tilting his head. “I never imagined people would address me as a millionaire but thanks for the compliment.”Harper's lips curled into a mocking smile. “Compliment, huh? You sound very confident and calm for a man with federal charges. What's the story you’re sticking with? Tell me.”“Well, if you must know,” Moses replied evenly, “one lucky ticket changed my life then I decided to invest all that money into a house. It's the best investmen

    Arrested

    “Seize my estate? Is this some kind of joke?”“I assure you, it is not,” Harold said firmly. “The landlord is within his rights. He has connections with powerful legal entities, and he is prepared to act.”Harry’s face darkened, his teeth grinding in frustration. “Then tell me who this landlord is,” he demanded. “I want a name.”There was a brief pause on the other end. “I’m afraid I cannot reveal that information, Your Highness,” Harold said finally.“You will tell me!” Harry barked. “Or I’ll make sure the Estate Board regrets this!”“I’m sorry, Your Highness, but the landlord has instructed us to keep his identity confidential. Have a good day.” With that, Harold ended the call.Harry stared at the phone in his hand, his chest heaving with barely-contained rage. This was the first time in his life someone dared to challenge his authority in such a manner. The audacity! Whoever this mysterious landlord was, Harry vowed to uncover his identity. “No one makes a fool out of me,” he g

    No one, since the day he was born had anyone ever spoken to Prince Harry the way Moses just did. Prince Harry couldn't believe his ears. "Did you just threatened me?"Moses eyes narrowed. "That wasn't a threat. It was simply a warning. Stay away from my family and I'll have no trouble with you."Before Prince Harry could respond, Moses drove off into the busy road. Prince Harry watched Moses leave, his head boiling. "How dare that poor Uber driver?" Prince Harry gritted his teeth. "I'll make you beg on your knees, you little worm."Prince Harry made an immediate call, giving out orders to his goons. "Take away Moses Potters child. I don't care what happens to the mother. Wreck the house. I want to make a statement to that fool that I'm not to be trifled with."After he hung up, a wide grin appeared on Harry's face. * * * *Prince Harry was lounging in his study and sipping on a glass of whiskey. He was waiting patiently for his men to return with Benjamin. Harry enjoyed a good c
