Chapter 190

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.
