"But Clara, you can't just let this poor asshole harass us this way, he wouldn't ever have respect for us and you in particular no matter who you later become!" Linn emphasized. 

She kept insisting that her daughter do something. "It's not a small position, being a Duchess!"

With time, Clara's anger was fuming. It increased as her mother was talking more to her. "Mom, you don't need to worry, I'll handle this. Take Fred to the nearest clinic, then the physiotherapist will take care of his condition."

Linn was now happy, she could now go away with her son. While they went away, she picked up her phone to call Leo, her ex-husband. This call hit Leo while he was inside the car with the Princess, Melissa.

Melissa was such a free person, she gestured to him to pick the call with a smile. He was surprised by this gesture. He tapped on the accept button.

"Hello, why are you calling me now?" His voice was stern and filled with disgust.

"Heyy, listen to me. If you want good and not trouble, you call my mom now, ask for her location and go there right now and kneel and apologize to them."

He laughed at the kneel. "And if I don't, what will happen?" He didn't waste time to reply. 

"Gosh! You're proving stubborn?" 

"Well, I think you're just kidding!" He chuckled with a great sarcastic tone. "You weren't like this, Clara. Who changed you?" 

"Because I've changed," she curtly said. 

"Sorry to say so, I've likely changed too." 

Clara gasped at Leo's boldness. 

Shock and irritation took over Clara as the person she was talking to wasn't even bothered at all. 

"Next time filter out some statements from your mouth before you spit them out, I'm not the kind of man you use to treat so badly!" Leo knew this would really hurt his ex-wife, he repeated one of her statements in a proud way, then ended the call.

"What the fuck! Leo has the audacity to end my call! Has he forgotten who I am?"

"I'll surely teach him a lesson!" She dropped her phone into her bag, then walked up her car murmuring with anger to herself.

When the call was done, Melissa began to speak to her.

"Was that your ex-wife?" She asked with a grin. Leo was glad she couldn't get to hear all the shit Clara said to him.

"Yes, your highness!"

"Call me Melissa!" Leo was surprised but he had no option other than to comply.

"Yes, she once told me you are excellent at mental healing."

"Who?" He got shocked. 

"Your wife," Melissa jerked her head to the left. "But that was almost three months ago, she spoke so nicely of you, I wonder why she would have to treat you this way now!" 

Leo's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe his wife who despised him would recommend him to the princess. He thought she hated him all round. 

The truth was now getting unveiled by Leo as of how Princess Melissa got to know of him. It turned out to be that the location she stated on the call the Royal Clinic which was the best in the country. It had the VIP departments and was mostly attended by members of the royal family and the elite class. 

"My brother is waiting for us at the hospital," she heaved, probably she wanted to say something which hurt her so much. Leo was wondering what was going on, who he's gonna be treating. His heart was occupied by so much thoughts at the moment. 

She gestured to him to get into the car. 

She drove him to the hospital, then took him to the special ward. It was VIP. Meanwhile she hadn't told him what was wrong. 

Opening the door, he saw the king lying in a critical state. He almost stepped backward, he was shocked to realize he would be treating the king of all people, then he was curious to know what's wrong with him, even before he got to examine him. 

"Here's my younger brother, Prince Colton." Melissa introduced him to him.

This was his first time dealing directly with members of the royal family. Colton descended his eyes on him, scanning him with disgust from head to toe.

"Oh, he looks like this in real life?" He questioned, his face showed he didn't believe in his capabilities. "Well, just give me a handshake. I thought he was an outstanding medical expert. Are you sure such a person like him deserves to lay hands on the king?"

"Hmm," Leo sighed silently so that he could not be heard. He was secretly pissef by this. "Well, I might excuse you, your highness, if you don't believe in my capabilities." 

He knew what Colton was expecting, lots of explanations and telling of his achievement to make him believe but he wasn't ready for all these. 

"The king has a traumatic brain injury which makes him unstable. Don't listen to him but treat the king. He judges by appearance, I've warned him several times!" Melissa gave him a pleading gaze which made him decide to set to work. 

"I'll try my best!" As he responded, he was also promising himself this.

    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. Leo had his bath and ate, thinking that when he was ready for work, she would be awake before then. He wanted to talked to her about the last night before going to work. He was however disappointed that she wasn't awake when he was about leaving for work. He did not want to disturb her, so he let her sleep, while he le

    The day was not over yet. There were still a lot to unravel, both on Leo's side and on the Prince's side. After Leo's work, he went back home. He was very happy that the day ended smoothly.

Also stopped at a jewelry store to buy a gold necklace with diamond pendant. He just felt more love for her that evening. He wanted to surprise her that evening and make it romantic.

Leo said.He then turned and followed the guard to the king's chamber. On reaching, he saw then king seated, smiling at him. "My son." The king said. He took

    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. Henry was always maltreating his wife and the security man hated it. He did not always take it to heart, but this time, it was too much. He even guessed

    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. He wanted to go in and confront Henry because it was too much, but later decided to forget about it. The tears were disturbin

    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
