LECTER JAMES: Rise of the Braveheart Chapter 140
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

Lecter's eyes narrowed as he gazed at Lenore, his voice low and menacing. "Remember, my dear, when you meet with Anna, you must be...respectful."Lenore's eyes widened, her voice trembling. "Y-yes, of course, Lecter. I understand."Lecter's smile was cold and calculating. "Good. Anna is...particular about certain things. And I would hate for you to...disappoint her."Lenore swallowed hard, her mind racing with the implications. She knew that Lecter's wife was not to be trifled with, that she was a force to be reckoned with."I'll be careful, Lecter," she promised, her voice barely above a whisper.Lecter's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. "Excellent. I knew I could count on you, Lenore. Now, go. Anna is waiting for you."And with that, Lenore was dismissed, sent off to face the formidable Anna Lecter alone. She knew that her fate, and that of her unborn child, hung in the balance. One wrong move, and everything could come crashing down around her.Lenore stood nervously in the opulent

Detective Bruce watched as Detective John, shook hands with the notorious criminal, Fabian. Fabian was the same criminal that had coerced Bruce into framing John's brother several years ago, an act that Bruce still regretted till date.The dimly lit alleyway seemed to grow darker, as if the shadows themselves were conspiring against justice.Bruce's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications. He had suspected John of being corrupt, but he had never caught him in the act. Until now.Fabian's sly smile seemed to gleam in the darkness, his voice low and menacing. "Pleasure doing business with you, Detective. Our little arrangement will be most...profitable."John's laughter was forced, his eyes darting nervously around the alleyway. "Yeah, yeah. Let's just keep this between us, Fabian. I don't want any...complications."Bruce's anger simmered just below the surface, his hand itching to grab his gun and arrest them both on the spot. But he knew he had to play it smart, gather ev

"I am so happy that you were able to seal this deal boss. Winning an exclusive contract to the oil rig is no small deal. This is a new milestone for Sunrise Enterprises and it could only be due to your diligence," Kurt praised Lecter while they received their own part of the contract deed that Lecter had signed with the government.Lecter smiled while looking at the contract. It was definitely a new milestone for the company."Thank you, Kurt. Your inputs didn't go unnoticed as well. I know how much you and your team dedicated into this. I'm glad that it all worked out in the end." Lecter replied. Kurt scoffed."You humble me with your praises boss. Everyone knows that you were the one who spearheaded the entire operation. You even decided to write the proposal yourself. And we are grateful you did." Kurt said and then stood up."The day is almost done. We are having some drinks tonight. Do you want to accompany us?" He asked Lecter."Maybe some other time, Kurt. There is still some t

EpilogueIt's been five years since Lecter defeated Bruce that fateful night. And from that timeframe, a lot of things had happened."Dad, we'll miss the show. We have to go now," Liana, Lecter's daughter called out from the car.Anna smiled while Lecter approached with a briefcase at hand."I can tell them to come perform for you here at the mansion, my princess," Lecter said to Liana but she rolled her eyes and pouted."It wouldn't be the same, dad. I want to watch the show with my friends too," Liana replied."Your daughter is very stubborn, Lecter James," Anna stretched forth her hand and took the briefcase from Lecter before he proceeded to kiss her lips."I wonder where she got that from," Lecter said sarcastically and Anna scoffed. They soon got into the car and zoomed off. Along the way, Lecter's phone rang. It was the president."Mr President, you honor me with your call," Lecter said."Mr James. I want to personally thank you for what you did for our country. We would have

Rachel’s eyes widened, genuine fear finally breaking through her tough exterior. She was ready to burst into tears when Bruce turned back to her, his gun still in hand. “See what happens to those who cross me? Want to be part of them?” He asked angrily. Before Rachel could respond, the door burst open. Lecter stormed in, his presence filling the room with an electric charge. “Bruce!” He shouted, his voice echoing off the walls. Bruce turned, gun raised, ready to face his nemesis. “Lecter. Finally decided to show your face? You’ve been hiding behind her all this while, haven’t you?”Lecter’s eyes were cold, calculating. “This ends now, Bruce. No more games.” Bruce laughed, a harsh, mirthless sound. “You think you can take me down? You’re a fool to think so, Lecter.” Lecter moved with lightning speed, closing the distance between them in a heartbeat. He knocked the gun from Bruce’s hand, sending it skidding across the floor. The two men clashed in a brutal hand to

Bruce stared out the window of Raphael's former office, which was now his own. The city was alive before him, a web of lights and life, oblivious to the power struggles that took place within its own shadows.He had fought hard to get where he was, as far as he was concerned, taking over Raphael's organization after the old boss's untimely demise. But victory felt hollow. Ursula, his sister, had deserted him, leaving him to run the business alone. He scowled, thinking of her betrayal.And besides, he had bigger fish to fry. Lecter. That bastard had managed to slip from his hands the other day, but he wouldn’t be so lucky next time. The door to the office opened, and Bruce turned, expecting one of his new underlings. Instead, Rachel walked in, and Cecil came in after her. He gave Cecil a questioning look, and he responded with shaking his head, so he turned back to Rachael. Her presence was like a punch to the gut. He hadn't seen her since their last heated argument, and her sudden

Lecter picked up the phone. “Lecter, it's Rachel.” She said hurriedly. “I know where Bruce is. He's at an old warehouse on the east side of the city.” “Are you sure?” Lecter asked, his heart pounding. He was ready to give up all his wealth for Anna. “Positive.” Rachel replied. “I’ve been following him. He doesn't know I'm onto him yet.” “Thank you, Rachel. I owe you.” “A million dollars, I’m sure. Just get them out safe.” Rachel said. “I'll keep an eye out and make sure he doesn't slip away.” Lecter hung up and called his bodyguards. “We have a location. I’ll send the coordinates now, move out immediately!” As Lecter and his men sped towards the warehouse, he felt nothing but anger and fear. He couldn’t lose Anna and Mia, especially not to Bruce. Not like this, at least.- - - Bruce was in full panic mode now. He knew it was only a matter of time before Lecter arrived. He looked at Anna and Mia, who were watching him in silence. “What are we going to do?” Cecil ask

Lecter sat in his upper minimalist office that gave him the best view in the city. The large window that went roof to floor made him feel like he had the entire world at his feet, and currently, that was how he felt. He had just closed a multi million dollar deal and was ready to call it a day when his phone rang. The caller ID showed a number that looked familiar, but he hadn't seen in a while. His brows furrowed as he picked up. “Lecter here.” He said, his voice cold. “Hello, old friend.” Came the reply, cold as ice. Lecter's heart skipped a beat. It was Bruce. “What do you want, Bruce?” Lecter asked Cooley. “Straight to the point as always. See, I have something— or rather, someone that belongs to you.” Bruce said, a sinister chuckle following his words. “Two someones, actually.” He laughed like a maniac. Lecter’s grip on the phone tightened. “What are you talking about?” “You might know Anna and Mia.” Bruce said casually, as if he was just discussing the weather.

Raj's hands trembled as he dialed Anna's number. He had been trying to reach Mia for hours, but her phone went straight to voicemail. He was getting worried."Anna, it's Raj. I need your help," he said, trying to keep his voice calm.Anna's concerned tone was immediate. "Raj, what's wrong?""It's Mia. She left the house a few hours ago to meet with Detective Bruce, but she's not responding to my calls or messages. I'm getting really worried."Anna's pause was brief. "I'll try to reach her. Can you tell me more about what happened?"Raj explained how Mia had been acting strange lately, and how she had received a mysterious message that had shaken her. He told Anna about Mia's decision to meet with Detective Bruce, hoping to uncover some answers."I should have gone with her," Raj said, regret creeping into his voice.Anna reassured him. "You did the right thing, Raj. Mia needed some space. But now, let's focus on finding her."Raj's anxiety grew as Anna went silent, presumably trying t

"Who are you? What do you want? Get your fucking hands off me this instant!" Cecil continued to yell as the people who had taken him led him through a rather long corridor. There was a large cloth over his head but Cecil could definitely feep where he was."I demand you to release me this instant!" He yelled again but none of them said anything. Then they stopped, opened a door and stepped inside a room. They then dropped Cecil on the ground and walked away.Cecil breathed heavily while he tried to make sense of the darkness around him. He heard footsteps approaching him and braced himself."You will regret ever abducting me! I will destroy you!" Cecil snapped. Then the cloth was taken off his head and Bruce's face came into view."You will do yourself a great favor by stopping to make threats. We both know they don't serve you," he said to Cecil who watched him slowly."Detective Bruce? What happened to you?" He asked Bruce who walked to a wooden chair and sat down."I'm not a dete

Cecil drove back home, feeling very satisfied after humiliating the sex worker. He couldn't believe that all what he needed to feel so good was to humiliate someone else, this shifting his position as the humiliated. He drove back to his mansion, the night calling with it's dark embrace. As soon as Cecil parked his car, he stepped down and then looked at his men."Did I have any visitors?" He asked them."Not at all sir. It's been quiet since you left," they replied to him. Cecil grunted and walked into his house grumbling. As he walked, he remembered Lecter and the terrible blow that he'd been dealt. How was it that he hadn't been able to take Lecter out? It didn't make sense to Cecil, and he just found the entire thing very weird. But he proceeded to just go inside.He went into the room where he was keeping Sophia locked up. As soon as he opened the door, Sophia whimpered in fear."Why are you still awake?" He asked her with anger in his voice."Thinking about how to kill you," s

Cecil fumed in his house while he waited for his men to return. He had sent them on a very important mission, one that could possibly turn the tides of the entire drag of power. When Cecil heard that they were back, he quickly rushed down to meet with them. However, the men had a gloomy look on their faces."What is it? What happened?" Cecil asked them. The men exchanged glances before one of them spoke up "Sorry boss, but the house was empty," he said to Cecil."Empty? What do you mean empty? Lecter's mansion is never empty. It's always filled with people and we know this!" He said to the man."Yes boss. However, not this time. The mansion was empty. There was no one there. Not even a dog. It was as if they vacated the place," the man replied.Cecil was in shock. There was no way Lecter could have predicted accurately what he wanted to do, right? Or did he have a spy in his house? Someone reporting his works to Lecter?"What did you do about the house?" He asked the man. "We burn
