Romeo took a long drag from his cigar, and the ember glowed brightly in the darkness as he turned sternly towards Emily Blackwood.

His eyes bore into hers with an intensity that made her shrink back, and a mix of defiance and regret swirled in her gaze.

"Now I am the villain, huh?" His voice was laced with a bitter edge, cutting through the tense air like a knife.

"No... no, Lord... Romeo, you are not a villain," Emily murmured, her words were a feeble attempt to defend herself against his accusation, confusion and desperation was evident in her voice.

Romeo's expression softened slightly, but the steely resolve remained in his eyes as he continued. "You know I don't blame you. I blame all the evil money-bag organizations, evil business tycoons that make their way to the top and out of wickedness, they decide to completely make life hard and unbearable for those below them."

Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as she listened to his words, a mix of guilt and shame weighed heavily on her

He had promised to call general Stormbreaker at this time.Romeo knew this conversation would be crucial for rebuilding the Davidson Group."General Stormbreaker speaking," Romeo said in his calm, strong voice."My prince... I’ve heard about what happened with Mrs. Davidson. The illegal deals, the money laundering, the killings... It’s a mess," Mr. Richards replied. "Why should I trust Davidson Hospitality group with my money now? That group is full of ambitious suckers who would do anything for money."Romeo remained composed. "Mr. Richards, I understand your concerns. But Mrs. Davidson is no longer part of the company. She’s gone, and so is

    Romeo sat beside Linda, who lay on the hospital bed, with a drip connected to her arm. Her eyes were red from crying, and her voice was weak."So my mother really killed our daughter?" she asked, her lips were trembling."Yes, love," Romeo answered softly. "She hated the fact that a broke man like me was living in her house, married to her most beautiful daughter."Linda’s face twisted in pain. "She…she’s so cruel. How could she ensure that a newborn baby—her own grandchild—was brutally killed? My baby..." Her voice broke as tears streamed down her cheeks.Romeo gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "It’s okay, love. Don’t worry about that now," he whispered, trying to soothe her. "It’s over. We’ll get through this."She let out soft sobs, but after a while, Romeo’s comforting touch calmed her. Her crying slowed, and she rested her head on his chest."If my mother hadn’t taken her own life, I would have strangled the life out of her myself," Linda fumed. "How could sh

    Joseph Schultz took a deep breath before continuing his testimony, the weight of his words heavy in the silent courtroom. “However, Your Honor,” he began, “that is not her only sin. Mrs. Davidson was also responsible for the cyber attack on NovaTech, which caused the company to lose billions of dollars. This attack led to the tragic death of Miss Chen, the CEO of NovaTech, who took her own life after the collapse of her business.” Gasps filled the room as the people listened in shock. The judge leaned forward slightly. “What evidence do you have to prove this, Mr. Schultz?” Joseph reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flash drive. “I have a voice recording, Your Honor. This recording captures Mrs. Davidson speaking with the computer experts who carried out the heist.” “Can we hear it?” the judge asked, his voice calm but firm. Joseph nodded and handed the flash drive to a court officer, who inserted it into a laptop. Moments later, the sound of Mrs. Davidson’s voice fill

    It was trial day for Mrs Davidson and in the courtroom, Mrs. Davidson stood before the judge, and her face was tight with tension. The air was heavy as the judge looked down at her from his high seat. His voice was firm and clear."Mrs. Davidson," the judge began, "you are charged with corruption, murder, and coercion. ?"Mrs. Davidson raised her head, and her voice was strong. "Not guilty, Your Honor. I deny all these charges."Mrs. Davidson’s eyes flashed with anger as she raised her voice, refusing to stay calm in this matter. Her hands were clenched at the sides of the podium, her knuckles were white with tension."These accusations are absurd!" she spat, her voice was venomous. "I have worked my whole life to build my company from the ground up. I would never stoop to murder, corruption, or coercion! This is nothing but a disgusting attempt to ruin my reputation!"Her words echoed through the courtroom, and people shifted in their seats, taken aback by her sudden aggression."Y

    Two black bullet proof SUV vehicles pulled up in front of the hospital were Helen was. The doors opened, and General Romeo Stormbreaker stepped out. He didn’t wait for his security detail. His mind was only on Helen. He rushed toward the emergency department, with his military boots hitting the ground fast and hard.Without his usual moustache, the citizens nearby didn’t recognize him. Some glanced at him, confused by his familiar face, but they didn’t know who he was. Romeo ignored them and hurried through the hospital’s front doors, his eyes were scanning the area.“Where is the emergency department?” he asked the receptionist, his voice was tense.“Down the hall, first door to the left,” she quickly replied.Romeo followed her directions, walking fast. As he reached the entrance of the ward, he saw Helen’s mother, father, and sister waiting in the corner. They looked nervous, pacing back and forth. But when they saw him—dressed in his general's uniform—their eyes widened in shoc

    General Romeo Stormbreaker’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at Linda, who had fainted on the floor. He pointed to the soldiers near him.“Take her to the hospital,” he ordered, as his voice was sharp. “Make sure she receives the best treatment.”Without hesitation, two soldiers rushed to Linda’s side. They carefully lifted her from the ground and carried her out of the hall, moving quickly yet gently, as the crowd looked on in tense silence.The atmosphere in the room thickened.
