"You don't expect me to let my daughter get married to that ugly, crippled man" Mandy said to her
"So you know that he was crippled and ugly yet you want me to get married to him?" She asked her
"It is another person's child that we can send dangerous tasks" she kept quiet
Why am I not shocked?" She said cleaning the tears on her face
"You are getting married to him next month and that's final, nothing is going to change it"Dad said with a tone of finality

ā KK EMPIREā
Kingsley Knight, the enigmatic KK, stepped into his empire's headquarters, a towering skyscraper shrouded in secrecy. His face hidden behind a silver-tipped mask, he commanded attention.
"The result of your investigation" Kingsley ordered, his deep voice echoing through the dimly lit room, smoke puff out of his mouth as he smoke
"Sir, the De Santos family has been making moves, trying to infiltrate our territory," Louis replied, eyes scanning the surroundings.
Kingsley's gaze narrowed. "Take care of it. I want their operations dismantled within a week."
"Yes, sir." Louis nodded.
"Also, sir, your family requests your return home. Your grandfather wants to see you," Louis added.
Kingsley scoffed, his mask glinting. "After all these years? Now they want me back? How convenient."
Louis hesitated. "Sir, it's your marriage arrangement. They've chosen a fiancƩe."
Kingsley's eyes flashed. "Investigate her. I want to know everything. Can she match my reputation?"
"And make sure she's not a spy. I won't have anyone threatening my empire."
Louis nodded.
Kingsley's gaze lingered before disappearing into his private quarters.
His empire was built on fear, loyalty, and precision, Loyalty means surviving, betrayal means death!
A subtle gesture beckoned his guards: a raised index finger, a circle formed with his thumb and forefinger, and a slight nod.
The sign spread: KK's attention was required. Business would change.
In the shadows, Kingsley smiled, his mask reflecting the moonlight.
No one knew his face, but his reputation echoed through the underworld, KK the ruthless, richest and most elusive figure.
"We will set out tonight, prepare the jet!" He ordered

"Getting better?"Louis asked the doctor
"No, but I believe that with treatment it is going to get better"Jayden who was the doctor said
"Okay, you can go"Kingsley said
"It's almost time for the dinner at the family mansion"Louis said
"Oh, let's go" Kingsley said
With the help of Louis, Kingsley was able to seat inside the car
The driver drove off
"You saw the spy?" Louis asked Kingsley immediately he entered the car
"Yes" Kingsley replied
"That was why i swung into action" Louis said
"It's high time to pay them a visit" Kingsley smirk
His words was laced with deep meanings

Emma went to her boyfriend house after receiving her pay
Yes it was the money to pay her mother's treatment but Felix her boyfriend told her that he needed the money to buy an important thing
That was why she was visiting him
She was shocked to see the door opened
Felix was not the type that leave the door opened
She walked in and fear gripped her as she heard the sound of moans coming out from his room
"It can't be him, maybe Tyler borrowed his room"She thought clinging on the little hope that came into her mind
With the little strength in her she opened the door to his room only to meet the one she called the love of her life banging the bitch on his bed
Felix stopped after seeing her, he quickly pull out of the bitch putting on his boxers in a rush
"Babe"He called
"Babe, don't you dare call me that"Emma replied with a teary face
"Am sorry I..."Felix said trying to look for an excuse
"It's over between us"Emma said rushing out
She felt suffocated, he was the one who introduced her into a stripper job, she accepted it because she needed it, she should have thought about it if he really loves her he would not have introduced her to that kind of business
"It hurt"She cried not giving a fuck about what the stares she was receiving
Katie who has been following her walked towards her, she sat beside her stretching her handkerchief to her
"I don't know how to console someone suffering from heartbreak" Katie said
"And who told you am suffering from heartbreak?, am crying for him" Emma said looking at her
They both froze on their spot, when they saw their face clearly under the street light
"Why do you have my face?" Katie asked foolishly
"I should asked the same question from you" Emma said
