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
Bruce pulled up to the airport terminal, his friend's luggage loaded into the trunk. As they walked towards the check-in counter, his friend turned to him with a serious expression."Bruce, can I talk to you about something?""Sure, what's up?" Bruce replied, his eyes scanning the crowded airport."It's about Anna," his friend said, his voice low. "I know you've been pining for her, but I have to caution you, man. She's Lecter's wife. You can't go after her."Bruce's eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about? Anna and I are just friends."His friend raised an eyebrow. "Come on, Bruce. I've seen the way you look at her. You can't deny it. And even if you could, Lecter won't. He's not a man to mess with."Bruce's face hardened. "I don't need your warning. I can handle myself."His friend placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm just looking out for you, Bruce. You're my friend. I don't want to see you get hurt."Bruce shook off his friend's hand. "I appreciate it, but I can take care of mys
Lenore's eyes gleamed with malevolence as she revealed her latest exploit to Morris. "I attacked Mia, just like I promised I would," she said, her voice dripping with satisfaction.Morris's face split into a wide grin. "Well done, Lenore! You're a true asset to our cause. You're showing Lecter that we won't be ignored."Lenore's smile grew wider, feeding off Morris's approval. "Thank you, Morris. I'm glad you're pleased. I'm enjoying this game of cat and mouse with Lecter. He thinks he's so smart, but I'm always one step ahead."Morris's eyes gleamed with encouragement. "You're just getting started, Lenore. I want you to keep pushing, keep striking at Lecter's loved ones. Make him suffer like he's made us suffer. Make him feel the pain and fear we've felt."Lenore's laughter was cold and mirthless. "Oh, I will. I'll make sure he pays for what he's done. And I'll enjoy every moment of it."Morris's praise and encouragement fueled Lenore's anger and resentment, egging her on to commit e
Anna's eyes blazed with anger as she confronted Bruce. "You killed her, didn't you?" she spat, her voice low and deadly.Bruce's eyes dropped, his face pale. "Anna, please understand-""Understand?" Anna's voice rose. "You killed Lenore in cold blood, and you expect me to understand?"Bruce's eyes pleaded with her. "I didn't mean to, Anna. I was angry, and I lost control."Anna's eyes narrowed. "And now you want me to keep your secret?"Bruce's voice was desperate. "Please, Anna. If this gets out, my career is over. I'll be ruined."Anna's face was set in a firm mask. "I can't make promises, Bruce. This is too big."Bruce's eyes turned cold, his voice menacing. "If you tell anyone, I'll make sure you're implicated too. You were there, Anna. You're an accessory."Anna's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're threatening me?"Bruce's face twisted in desperation. "I'm begging you, Anna. Please don't tell anyone."But Anna just shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment. "You're not
Morris's eyes widened as the spy handed him a small package containing a disc. "What's this?" he asked, his voice eager."The proof you needed," the spy replied, his voice calm. "The moment Bruce killed Lenore, and Anna's presence as an accomplice."Morris's eyes lit up."Lenore is dead?" He muttered.Then, he inserted the disc into a player. The viewing of Bruce's angry facee and Lenore's terrified screams filled the room, followed by Anna's shocking reaction of her running out of the brothel.Morris's face darkened with anger. "This is it. This is the evidence I need to take down Lecter once and for all. With his wife's involvement in this, he will be crippled. I can finally have my revenge. It's only a pity that Lenore had to die for my dreams to be accomplished."The spy nodded. "I'm glad I could help. But our transaction isn't over yet."Morris's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"The spy's smile was cold. "You still owe me for my services. And I won't provide any more... encourag
Morris and Cecil met in the address that Morris had given, the only sound being the distant hum of the city. Morris's eyes gleamed with intensity as he handed Cecil a small disc."What's this?" Cecil asked, his voice laced with skepticism."The proof we need to take down Lecter," Morris replied, his eyes burning with determination. "It's a recording of Lenore's death, and Anna's testimony. She was there, Cecil. She saw everything."Cecil's eyes narrowed as he took the disc, his mind racing with possibilities. He inserted it into his phone, and the sound of Lenore's terrified screams and Bruce's angry voice filled the air, followed by Anna's tearful account of the events.Cecil's face darkened with anger, but his eyes still held a hint of doubt. "This is it, Morris. This is the evidence we need. But how do I know this isn't another one of your tricks?"Morris's face fell, his eyes flashing with hurt. "Cecil, I understand your doubts, but I assure you, my commitment to our cause has nev
Lecter had decided to reach out again to Cecil. The idea of spilling family blood just for the sake of wealth did not appeal to him. So Lecter sent Cecil an invitation to dinner.Lecter arrived there and settled in. He approached the owner of the restaurant and paid to have the place all to himself for the evening. As soon as the restaurant was shut down, Lecter gestured to Bone to approach him."Keep an eye out for sudden moves. We cannot be too careful," Lecter said to Bone."You got it boss," Bone replied and then walked away. Alaric did not accompany Lecter that evening, and Kevin was too busy with June to even do anything else.Lecter had decided to let Kevin have the win. Himself and June were in love. There was no reason to keep them from each other. They had to be together."If it isn't brother dearest," Cecil suddenly cut in, cutting Lecter from his thoughts. Lecter raised his eyes and saw Cecil standing there with an intriguing look on his face. He was still amazed that some
Bone's eyes never left the building, his gaze fixed on the windows, waiting for any sign of movement. He had been watching Cecil's hideout for hours, following Lecter's orders to the letter.As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the city, Bone's phone buzzed. Lecter's voice was low and urgent. "Bone, any update?""Not yet, sir," Bone replied, his eyes scanning the building. "But I have a feeling he's getting close.""Keep watching," Lecter ordered. "I want to know the moment he makes a move."Bone nodded, his focus never wavering. Suddenly, Cecil's men emerged from the shadows, their guns drawn. Bone's instincts kicked in, and he reached for his weapon. But before he could react, a bullet hit his shoulder, and he slumped forward, his vision blurring."Cecil's men...they ambushed me," Bone managed to whisper into his phone."Get out of there, Bone!" Lecter shouted. "Alaric will take care of you. I'll handle Cecil."Bone's vision faded to black as he heard Lect
