Lecter scanned the crowded room, his gaze locking onto Jared's smiling face. He strode through the throng of guests, his eyes fixed on his target.Jared's laughter was loud, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he chatted with his friends. But his smile faltered as he saw Lecter approaching."Lecter," he said, his voice wary. "I didn't know you were coming."Lecter's smile was cold, his eyes glinting with anger. "I wasn't invited, Jared. But I couldn't miss the chance to talk to you."Jared's eyes narrowed, his friends melting away as he faced Lecter. "What do you want, Lecter?"Lecter's voice was low, his words dripping with venom. "You know exactly what I want, Jared. I want to know why you terminated our contract."Jared's shrug was casual, his eyes gleaming with defiance. "I didn't need your services anymore, Lecter. It was a business decision."Lecter's laughter was mocking, his eyes flashing with anger. "A business decision? You call betraying me a business decision?"Jared's fac

Lecter relaxed in his study when his phone rang. It was a strange number, but Lecter wasn't in the mood for phone calls. The events of the party played in his head like a drama. How could he be humiliated so?The phone stopped ringing and began again. It was still the same unknown number. Lecter then picked up the phone."Hello?" Lecter said."I was wondering when you'd pick up. I know you're a busy man and all but can't you spare a moment for dirt like us?" The voice on the other side of the phone said to Lecter. Lecter frowned."And who's this?" Lecter asked."It's Cecil. We met at the party the other day and I threatened you not to mess with Morris again," Cecil replied."Ah, yes. The new business partner. Tell me, Cecil, what is it that Morris has over you? Why are you working with him?" Lecter asked Cecil."Morris, having something over me? Nah, I'm the one with all the power. You see Lecter, I'm calling you right now because I want everything that was originally mine. Every sing

Lecter's gaze narrowed as he sat across from Andrew, his mind racing with questions. "So, Andrew, I hear you know something about my family," he said, his voice low and even.Andrew's eyes twinkled with age, his face lined with wrinkles. "Ah, yes, Lecter," he said. "I knew your father well. We were old friends."Lecter's eyes locked onto Andrew's, his gaze intense. "And what about Cecil?" he asked. "What do you know about him?"Andrew's expression turned serious, his eyes clouding over. "How do you know that name?" Andrew asked."Because he suddenly appeared in my life and uttered nonsense. What do you know about him?" Lecter asked and Andrew sighed."Cecil is your stepbrother, Lecter," he said. "Your father and his mother were together for a while before he met your mother,"Lecter's eyes widened in shock, his mind reeling with the revelation. He had never known that his father had dated someone like that in the past, let alone had a stepbrother."Why didn't I know about this?" Lec

Lecter's gazes narrowed as he sat at his desk, his mind racing with the latest developments. He had just finished discussing strategy with Alaric when another worker burst into his office, a look of urgency on his face."Lecter, we have a problem," the worker said, his voice trembling. "Jared has pulled out of more contract deals. He's sabotaging our business, Lecter."Lecter's eyes flashed with anger, his mind racing with betrayal. He couldn't believe that Jared would do such a thing, after everything he had done for him."How many contracts?" Lecter demanded, his voice cold and deadly.The worker swallowed hard, his eyes dropping. "Five, Lecter. Five major contracts, all gone."Lecter's eyes widened in shock, his mind reeling with the implications. He knew that this was a devastating blow, one that could cripple his empire."Find out why," Lecter snarled, his voice rising in anger. "Find out why Jared did this, and who is behind it."The worker nodded, his expression filled with fea

Jared slowly drove back home after his meeting with Lecter. His mind was filled with so many options and he constantly pondered on how the whole events would turn out. Lecter had promised to help him, to be there for him, but would that happen?Would Lecter truly keep his word? However as far as Jared was concerned, there was only one way to find out.Jared drove straight into the street that led to his house. It was already dark and there wasn't a lot of people on the street. But then, a car suddenly pulled up in front of his car and Jared was forced to hault."Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing? Are you out of your mind? He yelled at the driver as he stepped down. Jared approached the car , furious. Then the car door slowly opened and a person stepped down.When Jared saw who it was, he froze on the spot."Cecil. I didn't know it was you," he said as Cecil smiled."Jared. My friend. I can oardn the mistake of course. We are all capable of making one. However, I am still co

Lecter gleamed with excitement as he pulled up to the restaurant in his sleek black car. He had been looking forward to this night all week, and finally, he was going to spend some quality time with the beautiful Anna.He stepped out of the car and walked around to open Anna's door, helping her out with a gallant smile. She looked stunning in her red evening gown, her hair styled perfectly and her eyes sparkling like diamonds."You look breathtaking, Anna," Lecter said, offering her his arm.Anna smiled, her cheeks flushing with pleasure. "Thank you, Lecter. You don't look so bad yourself."Lecter chuckled, leading her into the restaurant. The maître d' greeted them with a bow, showing them to their table by the window.

Morris stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie and smoothing out his suit. He was getting ready to leave Lenore's room in the brothel, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation.He turned to Lenore, who was lying on the bed, watching him with a mixture of curiosity and concern. "I have some news, Lenore," he said, his voice low and conspiratorial. "I've found a new ally, someone who can help us take down Lecter once and for all."Lenore's eyes narrowed. "Who is it?"Morris smiled, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Cecil, Lecter's stepbrother. He's been secretly working against Lecter for years, and he's willing to join forces with us to bring him down."Lenore's eyes widened in surprise. "Cecil? I've never heard of him." Lenore said Morris chuckled. "That's what he wants you all to think, but Cecil has his own agenda. And with his help, we'll be able to defeat Lecter brutally."Lenore's face set in a determined expression. "I'm in, Morris. Whatever i

It was a normal sunny day in Mia's life, but things soon took a turn. Mia's eyes widened as Lenore approached her, her face twisted with anger. She had known Lenore from their youthful age. What had made her so twisted? "You think you're so perfect, don't you?" Lenore sneered. "With your perfect little business and your perfect little family."Mia stood tall, her heart racing with anticipation. "Lenore, what's going on? Why are you so angry with me?"Lenore's eyes flashed with malice. "You know exactly why I'm angry. Your precious sister and her husband Lecter picked a fight with me first. They think they can just walk all over me?"Mia shook her head, her voice firm. "That's not true, Lenore. Anna and Lecter would never do that."Lenore's face turned red with rage. "Don't lie to me! I know the truth. And now, you're going to pay for what they did."Mia tried to speak up, but Lenore's words were drowned out by her own shouting. "You're going to regret the day you ever crossed me, Mia

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
