“Please.. please…” There were distant chatters when the man was brought before the bishop who had his head lowered the whole while, but was still somehow able to see the man who was begging for his life.

“Please, don't kill me. I'll tell you all you need to know. I promise…” there were so many things involved at this moment, but whatever the man said finally got the bishop interested.

“Hmm, anything right? I heard you worked closely with Norman. Didn't you?”

For what?” “For accepting a bribe!” The officer’s gaze hardened, but Norman didn’t flinch, though a flicker of confusion passed through his mind. “There’s been a mistake, Officer,” Norman said, keeping his voice steady. “I’ve never accepted a bribe. Who made this accusation?” “I did, Norman.” Before the officer could respond, the door swung open, and Lana, Norman’s fiancée, stepped inside, her expression twisted with disdain. “I reported you to the police. Now to save yourself from more embarrassment. Go with the police and pay for your crimes.”She said coldly.Norman’s calm wavered slightly as he turned to face her, his brows knitting in surprise. “Lana?” he asked, disbelief creeping into his voice,“What are you saying?““Don’t play innocent,” she snapped. “You took a bribe, and I did what was necessa

    “She must be stopped! I thought you said you were going to handle it!” He screamed, and there was a lot going on. He needed time to understand what was actually going on.“Yes. We did, but she's a renowned detective and most times her guys are afraid to arrest her. She's just too–” the bishop shot him a glare which made him feel weak. He swallowed, and tried to control himself, but it seemed like things were going out of control.He didn't even know how else to handle it. He bit his lips, and immediately lowered his head.“I’m sorry. I didn't mean for all this to happen this time, but it's really going to be hard to do something like this. You need to understand that things are really hard at this point.”“Hard? Do you mean hard?” he asked with raised brows, and there was no response. The bishop was making his life a living hell. At this point, he didn't wish he should sign up for something like this. He was extremely worried that he was going to face this kind of judgement from him.

It was all he ever wanted, and now he was getting everything he ever wanted.Drake's cell rang, and upon staring at the screen, he saw it was Jackson. His face instantly filled with creased lines, but instead of being mad, there was concern on his face. He has been doing everything right.He hummed and then immediately proceeded to take the call. “Hello?” His voice showed how skeptical he was, and how he was trying to know what the issue was.“We need to see immediately there's something we need to discuss. Is that alright?” Not having any choice, Drake hummed in agreement, but before he could ask what the matter was, he noticed that the call had already ended. Since he knew where they were already getting at, all he needed to do was to make sure he got to the meeting place on time. “Jackson? What's this all
