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

"How come we are the first to be chosen into the Affiliates?" The head of the Verizon Group who just arrived not long ago asked, he was shocked as well. He didn't expect this. Seeing the top companies that were contesting to be among the eight, he wondered. "Yes, Verizon is a small group but we made it!" His deputy said. "I wonder why they wouldn't care to know who made this happen!" Henry whispered into Clara's ears. He was eager to hear his name talked about. Clara who was so glad and enthusiastic to let people know that it's her fiance who related to the princess about this moved ahead to let them know. "All thanks to my fiance, he actually spoke with the princess, delivering good words to her which has brought us to this position!" Elene moved forward to the head of the company and complained to him how Leo was going to spoil their plan, seeing that no one could challenge Leo, she decided to meet with this stout, no-nonsense president of the group. "I want to see him cautione

The princess was there in her office watching everything that was going on, after witnessing the call of names of the companies qualified, she returned back in to her office in the hall which was overseeing where the ceremony was going on. Leo was glad to see Henry in trouble, he was acting too pride.As these men brought out their guns and other weapons such as their jack knife, Henry shook, even Clara and Elene, they couldn't talk any longer, then they looked at him and he gave them a wicked stare.Though no one suspected this to be the handiwork of the princess, he did, he felt for Clara alone, the love he had for her before she became his ex wouldn't make him so heartless as not to consider her. Outwardly he pretended like he didn't care."How would you assault a feared warrior like me?" Jack thundered as he and his men approached them, they were redressing back."If you move again, we shoot you!" Jack threatened. Clara turned her eyes to look at the entire guests who were just st

One of the guests who came in from the restroom outside recognized Jack. He was his cousin and they grew up together, the only one in the midst of the hall who could talk to him freely without fear. "What are you doing here, Jack?" He shouted from a distance. Seeing the circumstances of things and how Leo was ready to fight with Jack, he turned towards him. "Do you know who you are playing with?" He sighed. "You're playing with fire and it will surely burn you. Don't say I didn't warn you!" Ethan was trying to impact fear into Leo but Leo didn't even looked at him twice. "Get that fucking mouth of yours shut or I'll leave him and deal with you!" Ethan shrugged, stepping back. Jack took him by the wrist some distance away and whispered into his ears. "Listen, now I want you to stay out of this. The princess paid me to get my men here to eliminate Clara but he stood up for her and so far has done farther than I could ever imagine in beating my men." Ethan stepped aside from him upon

Melissa walked in front of Leo leading the way as they arrived at the palace. Leo forgot and thought she was going towards the residential part of the palace when Melissa signaled him. "We are going to my office, we have this important issue to talk about." She told him. He didn't need to think too much, he suspected it was going to be about the rivalry between her and Clara, who he preferred more but he still had to listen, it could be something entirely different. He told himself. As they arrived at the office, they sat down. There was no waste of time as Melissa began. "So tell me, Leo, who do you want between me and Clara?" It rang exactly the way he expected, he snapped his fingers in amazement. "What are you doing?" Melissa who thought he was mocking her asked. "I'm asking you a serious question and you're joking over it?" He furrowed his brows. "What do you mean, Melissa?" He thought she was joking nit until he saw her serious face. He was forced to believe he had taken
