“The case would be adjourn to 26th Sept.”
“Court!” The clerk announced, and the court was dismissed.
***
26th September 2021
All audience were sitted at the court awaiting the next judgement to befall Damien, and Alex Stone.
Alex was right in the box, his heart beating fast than it had ever beat.
“I hereby at this hour permits Damien Kenazole to be set free on bail, his name is being cleared, with the witness to compensate the accused of five billon dollars.”
The court all burst into a stealthily noise uproarious.
Alex buried his head in shame with Damien jubilating at the same time.
“I hereby sentence Alex Stone to 32 years imprisonment for false allegations, and killing of innocent soul. He’s to be strip off his position and rank.”
” Case dismissed!” The attorney spouted.
The lawyer stared hard at Alex, twitching his lips, “I know you’re crazy but never would you behave in this sort of manner. It’s never too late we could still work this out, you have the evidence why hesitate to say the truth? Why do you choose to support him at the end? You think he would spare you or laud you for a job well done?”
” Family first,”Alex was going to say but shut up.
” You should have ask around about me before thinking you could mess with me.” Damien snarled when Alex had walked right at his front.
“Let go…” Alex was shut off his word as he was shoved away.

Jack POV
I pressed the button, switching off the t. v.
Damien finally broke lose from the prison and his going to walk around the town as a free man?
I scoffed as the thought keeps getting me so irritated.
“Eliot get me tobacco.” I inhaled the smoke several of time when Eliot had hand over the tobacco.
I’ll never ever let him go Scot free.
Two weeks later
I received the information that Damien was going to one of my territory to capture one of the don who had pledge allegiance to me.
I motioned for the gangs members to assemble so they could give Damien a welcome party.
Few minutes after, the fight was victorious and we were on the winning side.
I know Damien would want to retaliate but never going to permit him the chance anymore.
“Dance for me ” I cooed to the slut who was twisting her body.
I requested for someone who had the same features as Angie, I finally found one.
My Intention was to flex with her so perhaps the obsessions about Angie would be off my mind but I wasn’t finding it funny.
Several of time, I found myself craving for her, her voice, her character and everything.
Although I paid off this fuckin slut to have a plastic surgery in which all Angie features were transferred to her.
The slut looked more like Angie, but there was one thing missing which was her personality. There’s this kind of trait which Angie possess and this slut doesn’t.
I felt at peace whenever Angie is around me. She talks like a child but her words are soothing to my pains and souls.
“Angie…” my heart bled her name in silence.
*If, Angie what have you done to me?”
” Sir,” Eliot pushed open the door standing midway with eyes staring at me.
I nipped at him, the expression on his face was not welcoming.
Soon, I arrived at the powerroom.
“Our container which contains the goods of the thirty-one don under your jurisdiction had been hijacked by pirate.”
My fingers drummed against the desk.
All the thirty one don who had paid allegiance to me, do use my ship to get their goods into the countryside. They were hopeful, and had placed their trust in me.
“Elliot, I need you to catch those pirate in the next one week.”
Eliot nodded, walking out after I had dismissed him.
Not long after, Eliot called to inform me of the number of calls he had received from the shareholders who were also the don. He asked, if he could beckon to their demand of having a meeting together?
I cogitated, hesitating before giving him the go ahead.
I asked him to connect the whole situations to the t v in my room.
One hour after, the don walked in one after the other each with worries written on their faces.
Eliot was sitting on my space because I had given him the go ahead to.
They were fifty in number, each with their hands stick to their chin.
“Good day boss.” They all bowed, giving their greetings.
“What was the situation report with our goods? We heard pirates laud their hands off our goods? How could this be true? Even with the massive security which must have guard those goods?” Don Marco of the Dallas province cursed out with mimick in his tone.
I felt my devil growled at his words but I tried to remain calm because it wasn’t his fault. I would have done the same thing if my goods, and halftime investment was taken over by a pirate underthe jurisdiction of a powerful Mafia Lord.
“You heard?” Eliot arched his brow at him.
” Not I heard, but I received the email, of the video in which the goods seized were being trampled on top. Half of my wealth depends on those goods, and if I doesn’t get them, I might go bankrupt in the next few weeks to come.”
“I’m assuring you now, that we are going to get to the bottom of this and catch those involve in this, including their sponsor, so I’ll just plead with everyone to calm down , and ease their tension.” Eliot pleaded in theiat amicable tone. I was impressed at his choice if words.
I observed their attitude at the moment Eliot had spoken, only one quarter of them were relaxed, the rest seems to be grumbling underneath them.
“If there isn’t any more thing to say, then we can adjourn this meeting to the day, boss summoned for your presence.”
There was silence, and the silence didn’t last for long as it was interrupt by one of the shareholder.
” Just in!” Don Vince spouted amidst the ongoing sagas.
Everyone turned to him, and watched him as he approached Eliot.
Eliot stared hard at him. When he got to Eliot side, he handed over his phone to Eliot who in turn took the phone from him.
Eliot stared hard at the phone in his hand, I could see his trembling hands. What could that have been? Whatsoever that must have be, must have surpassed his immediate actions to be carried out at that moment.
“What’s that Eliot? Connect it to the projector so that other members could see for themselves.” I communicated with him through the earpiece.
He nodded, and have the technical unit connect it.
“Fire?” What was that for?
