“James, I have some news for you. I know who killed your brother.”“What do you mean?” James asked looking at Jordan with confusion etched on his face.“I mean that your brother is dead and I know that is the reason you are here. I can tell you the person who is responsible for his death.” Jordan said sipping his wine.“Well, spill the beans… because that's exactly why I’m here.” James said his face reddening with anger. “Whatever you want will be given to you, just tell me the person who killed my brother.”“You can keep your reward to yourself. It is actually my pleasure to give you this information… The person behind his death goes by the name… Declan King, do with him whatever you wish”~Back at the Smith’s residence, Declan walked away from Tom’s dead body making his way through the flames towards the exit. He could hear distinct voices and turned to see one of the guards making a phone call amidst the fire.“You know, making a call when I'm still in the same room as you is co

“James Livingston, Jason's younger brother.” “Mother! Another Livingston? I think Jason’s death was traumatizing enough and now you want me to date his younger brother?” May grumbled. “It would be fine. It may spring up some rumors but when the relationship starts to bloom, the rumors will die out.” Clara assured. “Fine” May sighed. “I will meet him but that will have to be later. I already have a project that will demand my utmost attention. I would rather not have a Livingston distracting that.” May said and Clara smiled at her. “Alright then, you can go to bed. You must have been very tired from that meeting.” Clara said, letting go of her daughter’s arm. May walked out of the dining room straight for her bedroom. She needed to be alone. ~ The next day at Asher’s group and company, Mandy was in her office when the door flew open and her secretary walked in looking like she had run a cross country race. “What is it?” Mandy asked without raising her head from her laptop. “Emm,

“I see.” James said with a small nod. “So, judging from his previous action, do you think that he would have been a potential suspect for the murder of my brother?”May narrowed her gaze at James and he smiled lightly. I'm sorry if my questions are a little bit direct but I just lost a brother. I don't expect you to understand what it feels like. May nodded with a light smile. “It's okay Mr. Livingston. About your question, I’m not sure. People change over time due to certain occurrences, but the Declan that I knew wouldn’t kill… he wasn’t even violent when I was still with him and couldn’t even yell at someone if one was to annoy him.” May said.“Well, thank you so much Mrs. Wiiliams. You must realize it but you have made my job a lot easier.” James said with a smile. “Now, do you know where I can find Declan Kings?”“That I can’t answer. We don’t live together anymore and he doesn’t stay at the house where he lived before the marriage.” James’ hands balled into fists. “But I ca

Declan drove straight to Mandy’s office. He climbed out of his car and ran straight into her personal elevator attracting glances and snide remarks. The elevator opened to the front of her office. He walked straight to it and walked in without hesitation to see Mandy sitting at her desk with May.“Seriously, both of you are turning into best buds, a horrible mixture that I wouldn’t even want to imagine.” Declan said, walking straight to the fridge in the corner.“She is here for a project that the two of us want to launch soon.” Mandy said before scrutinizing Declan from head to toe. “Where are you coming from? You look good.“I went for lunch with James Livingston.” Declan replied.“What?’ May and Mandy exclaimed in unison. “Are you crazy? Why the hell would you meet a man who is hunting down the murderer of his brother especially when you are guilty of that crime?” Mandy paled. Declan took out a bottle of wine before turning to the both of them.“Am I drinking this alone or should

Declan walked into the hotel and was led towards the restaurant which was void of people. In the middle of the restaurant, Chris was seated with James surrounded by six men standing with their hands gripping pistols by their side. “Wow, I find it surprising that you would clear out this restaurant just to meet me. I supposed that is what makes you different from your son.” Declan said, walking up to them.“Declan, you really are a work of art. Boldly walking up to me even when you know that you may die here today.” Chris said. “No, I didn't come to die. I actually came to eat dinner with one of the influential men in this city, but since there is no one here, I suppose that is off my bucket list.” Declan said, sitting down and reaching for a bottle of wine. “You really are disrespectful. Reaching for a bottle of wine before the host. Despicable.” James said disgustedly. “He doesn't mind, I don't see why you should.” Declan said, pouring out two glasses before handing one to Chris
