INITIAL ENGAGEMENT

Stone was very curious to know more about Rose, not that he was interested in her the way the governor wants him to but because of how she reacted when they shook hands earlier, " tell me something interesting about the governor daughter " Stone asks Diamond in a polite tone, she grunts and asks Stone to take a sit that it was gonna be a long story. After the whole explanation on how Rose became the first governor daughter to become a psycho, Stone could not help it but to take pity on her, " such a sad fairy tale, how is the governor handling these things, that the mean reason I don't want to get married. Marriage life is nothing but hell in this century " , Diamond stands up as she takes excuse to leave. Stone felt he said something wrong that why Diamond decided to leave the place, or could it be something else. The following day Stone waited for his cup of coffee at his usual spot close to the pool, after waiting for hours he decided to get it himself, " what wrong, why haven't Diamond showed up yet, is this still about yesterday, I should better apologise to her when next we see " Stone said to himself. Stone really found everything though without Diamond present, he felt it that something was missing in his life, he had never seen an assistant such as Diamond before.

The following day a shocking and sad news got to Stone's desk, the shocking death of Diamond, she was brutally murdered in cold blood on her way home that very night, her body chop into pieces and her head was missing, these was a very sad news for Stone, Diamond had no-one in her life except stone, he was a brother, boss and supporter she ever had, Stone arranged for her burial and he made sure her body wasn't buried, they just kept it in a casket. Stone was ready to take any action to get to the murderer of his assistant, after two weeks of mourning the governor called Stone to his office one special afternoon , " is it not due time you move on after the death of your assistant, am sure that want she will also want, you don't really have to life in the past, bury her body, so the whole country can have a proper oxygen to breath in, not the corpse of some ex convict " the governor said, hearing this words got Stone to a hundred degree range of anger that he just walk out of the governor office, " was that too much" the governor asked himself;

One day Stone was arranging his files, he gave every worker on duty a leave to be with their families, everyone felt for Stone because after the death of Diamond he never ask for another assistant, he did everything himself, book his appointed himself, prepared his coffee every morning himself. He saw a file of a man that have been in custody for the past eight years and have never been charge to court for proper judication. He went to the address showed on the file where the man was kept, after eight years someone came asking for Mr Jude Diamond's dad, even the officer in charge could not really relate if some one with such profile was in jail, well as the commander in charge he asked everyone to search every batch of the facilities, and it yield a positive result, the old man was found and was left alone with Stone. " please help me, I need to get out of her and see my daughter, she doesn't know anyone out there " the old man begged , " who's your daughter?" Stone asked , " her name is Diamond, and we're not from around here " , Stone was surprise to hear these. He finally found Diamond missing dad" I know who your daughter his , she worked for me " , " you mean to say my daughter was truly freed, and she was even given a job, I guess this people ain't so bad as I commented before" the old man said . Well, sir I wouldn't want to come to conclusions just yet because the same people killed her " Stone said as tears row down his eyes.

One faithful day Stone was on his way back from work, he met this crazy looking lady, she dressed like as if she was an assassin covering her face, putting on a hand glove on a hot day like that and she was carrying a bag, Stone was curious to know who was behind the masked so he asked his driver to pull over, he chased the lady for some mile and he finally caught up with her " put your hands in the air and turn over " Stone asked, " and what if I don't , what happens ?" The lady asked with so much confidence in her word, as if Stone couldn't do anything to her," well then you get arrested " Stone said and he tries coming closer, not knowing the lady was the governor daughter Stone tries to hit her on her head just then she turn back offing the blanket on her head " what about now, would you still wanna arrest me " , Stone was shocked to see the governor daughter all alone in such an expose environment " I remember your face, you're the governor's daughter, what are you doing out here all alone ?" Stone ask as he tries to help her pick her bag that fell. " I also know your face, you're the psycho my dad introduced me to, I guess it a small world " , " we didn't really get to speak to each other the first time we met at your place " Stone said with a smiling face.

" Don't tell me you're buying my father's idea " Rose said with a astonishing tone ,

" what do you mean, what have your father been telling you " Stone asked looking confused, " its nothing, since you don't know " Rose comments as she plans to leave, Stone drag her back and held her hand very tight with his wide strong hand, Stone's hand was more like a handcuff, once he get holds of something they is no letting go. " I love you from the first time I set my eyes on you" Stone said, Rose was surprise by the sudden change of action, she managed to make Stone let go of her and immediately she ran away without turning back and no reply. That was the strangest thing that have ever happened to Rose since after her school days, Stone couldn't help it but to go after her, just as he arrived at a corner where he imagine Rose should have taken he found her in the midst of some hoodlums, they were holding different weapons and Rose was lying on the floor helplessly. " let go of her " Stone said with a harsh tone, "if its not the half citizen that got himself lucky ,that we have here" one of the hoodlum said, " I won't like to repeat myself , let go of her these very moment " Stone said drawing his sword out, " oh, you want to kill us just the way you did to your assistant " another hoodlum said as they also got engage for the fight,

" Please let stop these madness , I will give you guys whatever you want" Rose pleaded

" no, let teach this murderer who runs these town , Stone fought to his best but could not hold the accusation inside, he allowed the false words of the teens got into his head and this made him lose concentration , well as the fight was going on Rose saw it as an opportunity to escape and she made use of it leaving Stone all alone, well that event didn't really end well for Stone because he was seriously injured.

Two days after the brutal incidence, Rose went to see Stone at his place not knowing her father was there, " what are you doing here" ask the governor, Rose was also surprise to see her father at Stone's place " I came here to see a friend" she answered with so much fear in her voice, Stone observe the fear in the tone of Rose when her father asked her what she was doing there, well the governor left the both of them alone so they can have a private time together, " so you finally see me as a friend " Stone comments on her previous statement , " am I not welcome, let me know so I can go back " Rose said.

They both had a good time together at Stone's place, both teens got together and these got everyone surprise in the country, of all people Stone went for the governor psycho daughter

Well everyone had to reserve their comments before it turns into something bloody. The two got engaged and after two month of engagement they got married, everything happened so fast and finally the governor wish came to a fulfilment, but the big question is why, of all people the governor wanted an outcast to marry his daughter?
