Trying to read the situation, Harrison was the one with the gun, so it was only natural for them to see him as the threat. Their guns were pointed at him and just a move from him would earn him a shot.Harrison observed all this after Rose played the victim. As soon as he looked back at her, she smirked at his face but made sure the cops didn’t see that.“Officers, you are mistaken.” Harrison raised his hand in the air as he said.“Mistaken? Even though you are the CEO of the greatest company in the country, it doesn't give you the license to go about killing people the way you sit fit!” One of the police officers snapped and cracked his gun, looking like he could shoot at any time.“She was the one who killed all these people, not me.” Harrison tried to explain to the best he could, yet the men didn’t seem like they would believe him, no matter how lengthy his explanation would be.“Go down on your knees!” Another said, pointing his gun at the floor as he said and Harrison had no cho
Meanwhile, back in Samson's villaRachel was seated on the chair looking disturbed as she watched Linda who was towering the place.“You have to tell me what is going on. Where and how did you get that money from, and who are you working with?” Rachel snapped at her. She seemed to have figured something out and knew something was at work here as she kept seeing how tense Linda was observing her phone.“Mom…” Linda stammered, not knowing if it was a good idea. If it was her all along she wouldn't mind telling Rachel but her fact that it was Edward who was the mastermind of everything, she didn’t know if it was okay to tell Rachel.“What? You would rather not tell me? So you are just like that old woman who left us, huh?” Rachel accused.“Come on Mom. Stop being like this. I will never abandon this family, you know?” Linda assured her, but the woman didn’t look like she could be convinced with mere words.“Okay, I have been working with Edward to bring Harrison down!” Linda added after
“Who was that?” Linda asked after overhearing the conversation, and the darkness she saw in Rachel's eyes piqued her interest the more.“Someone good and able to carry out my plans smoothly.” Rachel grinned.“Someone? Who is he?” Linda asked.“Don’t worry, you will see him. For now, prepare the car, we are going somewhere.” Rachel said instead and without asking more questions, Linda quickly rushed to get the car keys.Beep! Beep!Her phone beeped shortly after and a message popped up. After taping it, an interface popped up, and she saw an address. She smiled and put the phone into her purse before looking in the direction Linda ran to.“Here, I got the car key,” Linda said, running toward her.“Good. Now let’s go!” She replied and the two of them walked out and hopped into a car. Rachel opened her phone and showed her the address, and Linda drove them quickly to the place.They arrived at an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city. The place was looking so old and creepy, just
“Who is your mother? How many times have I warned you never to call me that in your life?” Rachel sparked, exposing anger in her eyes.Caroline shivered as her voice was so furious and given by the disgust in her eyes, she knew something was wrong. Everything was wrong. Could it be that they were the ones who plotted her abduction?“Were you guys behind this?” She asked looking at both Rachel and Linda expecting to hear something different, that maybe this was just a coincidence.“And so? What is that pitiful look on your face? Do we look like we give a shit about you?” Rachel fumed.Meanwhile, Linda was shocked that it was Caroline who was abducted as when coming here Rachel didn’t tell her anything, but even at that, she didn’t care. Caroline was her enemy and if she was being trampled on, Linda would never care.“What’s the meaning of this? Do you want to kill me? Don’t you know who my husband is?” Caroline tried to instill fear inside them, as she knew they had a weakness for Harr
“Calm down! How do you expect me to say anything when you have a gun pointed at my head?” Edward raised his hand as he said, seemingly terrified as Rachel looked like she could pull the trigger.It was still puzzling to him that she could handle a gun so well when she never learned how to.“How did you get in? You have been following us around huh?” Rachel snapped, not looking like she would back down.“No. I am working with them.” He said and pointed at Raymond, who then stepped forward to collect the gun from her.“It’s fine. He is an ally, now drop the gun down!” He said to her smiling, but the woman became shocked. Just like her, Linda was shocked too and both of them stared at each other before turning to face the men.“How did you guys know each other? I thought you were working for me only? How the hell did this happen?” Rachel asked as she couldn’t hide her curiosity.“We…” Edward stepped forward. “Have known each other for quite a while. We are just friends, so don’t think he
Meanwhile, back at the station.Harrison was sitting on a chair beside a table inside a deem room, while two men clad in suits and holding files were standing opposite him.“Talk to me, man! Explain what you did in that hospital!” One of the men yelled as she slammed his hand on the table, intending to instill fear in Harrison and make him start talking.But then Harrison gazed at him like it was merely a child’s play. He didn’t pay attention to both men, but rather he seemed to be thinking of someone far more.“Talk to me man or I will lose my patience!”! The man warned again, looking like he would do more than just slamming his hand on the table.At least he was able to make Harrison pull out of his thoughts, but then the latter gave him a mocking look.“If I were you, I would save my energy for the real culprit because as for me, I will be getting out of here soon!” Harrison raised a brow at him and the two men looked at each other before busting into a chuckle.“This man here thin
“What is there to say when I am innocent? I didn’t kill anyone. I was framed, yet you brought me in without proper investigation!” Harrison kept a calm expression as he said.“So you are saying we are wrong? That you didn’t kill those people, and maybe we framed you?” Maxwell said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. However, his tone felt like he was daring Harrison to admit to what he just said.“Yes. You are mistaken!” Harrison stamped on his words, glaring at him deep in the eyes and the man was taken aback. Along with the two others, Maxwell was stunned by Harrison’s audacity.He even said it to his face even when he knew Maxwell could jail him for life, but that would be only when he had substantial proof against him.Ramon didn’t say anything further, as he felt like Harrison had everything under the tip of his fingers. That smile sitting on Harrison's face signified he expected all this to happen. In fact, it was part of his plan.Ramon was able to tell as he knew the kind of p
“Who the fuck is this? How dare you barge into this place? Do you know what you are doing?” Maxwell snapped after he saw Lucas bowing to Harrison.The lad just walked in out of the blue and other officers couldn’t even stop him. Just who did he think he was? A look of disgust settled on Maxwell's face, and he looked like he would ball Lucas out of the way, but still, the latter didn’t even pay attention to him.Maxwell became infuriated more. Lucas didn’t even bat an eye or take notice of him, which was a sign of disrespect.“You…” He wanted to snap at him, but Harrison raced him to it.“Where is it? Did you bring it?” Harrison asked while Lucas nodded quickly. The latter dug his hand into the side of his suit and brought out something, then placed it on the table.Everyone’s eyes narrowed on it and after figuring out what it was, their mouth parted open.“A tape? And what the fuck is this supposed to mean or do?” Maxwell snapped almost bursting into a chuckle as the whole thing looke

“You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h
Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever
Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu
“Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu
“Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response. Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira
“Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi
“What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any
The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
