"What do you mean that you're going on a date with Anna? Lecter James's wife? The same woman that I have been trying to caution you about?" Pete yelled at Bruce while he got ready for the date. The tuxedo he wore made him look more grand, like he was attending some party instead."This is precisely why I didn't think it wise to inform you. We are just going as friends. Nothing there. Just as friends who want to enjoy each other's company" Bruce replied. Pete laughed so hard he snorted."Don't tell me you actually believe this shit!" Pete exclaimed. "What the heck is wrong with you Bruce? In what universe does it ever end well when a man is pining after another man's wife?" "I'm not pining after her. Anna needs my comfort and I am going to give it to her. I understand your fears but nothing bad will happen. I can assure you," Bruce replied and grabbed his phone."Oh, yeah? That's precisely what you said in high school before you cheated on your girlfriend. And back then I told you Kar
"Let me guess, you were bugged too about how this is such a bad idea?" Bruce questioned and Anna laughed. She glanced at him and wondered what made her so readable."What gave it away?" She asked him. His eyes were fixated on the road but he still managed to steal a glance of her. She looked beautiful in the dress. Despite covering up, Anna's body banged hard enough to still intrigue Bruce."For starters, I am a detective, and a very good one at that. Plus, you had the same look which I assumed I too had when I stepped out of the house. My friend literally gave me a Lecture on how this was a terrible idea," Bruce said to her. Anna laughed so hard she almost lost air.Bruce was glad he could make her laugh. All that was left earlier was the cold stares and melancholic gazes."As if we are not adults," she added with a chuckle."You look beautiful when you smile. Maybe you should do that more." Bruce told her. Anna smiled again as memories from days past came rushing towards her like a
Lecter could hear his phone ring from the balcony where he was drinking a bottle of wine. He just wanted to get high and drink until he fell asleep on the chair. Lecter was missing Anna so very much.The phone continued to ring, and Lecter then walked towards the table to pick it up and silent it. However, when he saw that it was Anna's number calling, he was flustered. Lecter picked up the call"Anna?" He said. There was a brief silence and then he heard Anna sigh"So, no calls? Nothing?" She said and Lecter walked back to the balcony."I tried to call you, to get across to you. But I know how you get when you do not want to be disturbed. Or am I wrong?" He asked her."Maybe not. But you should have known that these were different circumstances..I wasn't just grieving for myself, I was also grieving for you. I needed the space to process what I was feeling," she sighed."Anna, baby, I believe that there has been too much bad blood between us. Let's return back to normal. Come back ho
Lecter's phone rang in the dead of night. It had been a very steamy session with Anna earlier, and they consumed the love they still had for each other following her return. The ringing of the phone woke both Lecter and Anna.Lecter looked to see who it was that was calling him at that time of the night. Then he saw that it was Lenore."You gonna get that?" Anna asked him while he gazed at the phone."It's not important. All that matters is you," he replied to her. Anna sighed, but then the phone began to ring again. Anna was disturbed."Why don't you just take the call and conclude whatever business you have with her? Won't that be better?" She asked him, anger and jealousy slowly rising on her face. Lecter then picked up the phone"Lenore, why are you calling me?" Lecter asked. "Ignoring me now, are you? I never thought the day would come Lecter. I thought you were different," she said to Lecter."Do you want anything from me?" Lecter asked her. Lenore inhaled sharply."Can I see y
"What is it that you want to tell me?" Lecter asked Anna. She exhaled and then tried to find her voice."The doctors told me that the accident not only affected my pregnancy, but it has caused an irreparable damage to my womb. As a result, I can no longer have any biological child of my own," she said to Lecter who froze."Were you ever planning on telling me this?" Lecter asked her."Of course. But I just didn't know how to say it. I guess I was afraid of losing you. I know how much you love children and the idea of not being able to give you one kid didn't sit will with me. That's why I actually left the house. Maybe this pregnancy is not a bad thing after all." Anna said to Lecter."Did you really think that not being able to give me a child will make me love you any less? I love you, Anna. Nothing can ever change that fact. We are one forever. My love for you is unconditional, and I hope you can always remember this when times get difficult," Lecter told her and kissed her deeply.
Cathrine tried to get into the car that was waiting to take her to the airport. Her heart has been thumping ever since Morris reported Venita as missing. She had tried to call Venita several times but her number was not reachable. Perhaps she flew out of the country, Cathrine thought.It was very possible for Venita to do, and she could easily leave within consulting anybody. That was how tenacious she was. Cathrine then decided to leave the country as she was said to be missing. She didn't want to get caught in any cross fire."Open the gates," she called out to her gate man who quickly opened the gate. The driver zoomed out of the mansion, but a car suddenly blocked Their path.Cathrine stepped out of her car and trudged angrily towards the other car."Are you out of your fucking mind? What the heck do you think you're doing?" She asked, banging the window on the driver's side. The door opened and Bruce stepped out."Going somewhere?" Bruce asked her and she fumed."And what busines
"What do you mean?" Bruce asked, shaking. He suspected that the answer to that question will be one that he did not like but he decided to ask anyway."Years ago, you killed someone. You convicted a wrong person for a crime and although the case got you a promotion, it ruined a lot of things for you, did it not? What was his name again, Mike?" Lecter said to Bruce."What do you mean by that? What are you driving at?" Bruce asked Lecter. Lecter got up and slowly approached Bruce."I placed Venita in a place where she will never hurt anyone else. And I did it without any remorse. She killed my child, almost killed my wife and now because of her actions, I can not have a biological child with Anna. Do you have any idea how that feels?" Lecter asked him. "What she got was justice. And as for you, detective Bruce, I guess it is time for you t leave the police force now. With this knowledge, duty compels you to report me, but I'm sure you won't. Not with what I have on you. So, what will y
Morris stormed into the dimly lit café, his anger and desperation palpable. He spotted Jack in the corner, sipping a cup of coffee, and strode over to him."Jack, I need your help," Morris demanded, his voice low and urgent.Jack looked up, his expression calm, but his eyes narrowed. "What's going on, Morris? You look like you're about to explode."Morris's eyes blazed with fury. "Lecter has Venita. That monster has my daughter, and I need your help to get her back."Jack's expression turned serious. "What makes you think Lecter is involved?"Morris's hands clenched into fists. "I have my beliefs. I know he's behind this. And I know he's planning a party, a grand spectacle, and I need your expertise to...take care of the guests."Jack raised an eyebrow. "You want me to help you poison Lecter's guests?"Morris's eyes burned with intensity. "I want Venita back, no matter the cost. And if that means taking out Lecter's associates, then so be it."Jack leaned back in his chair, his eyes ne
