Chapter 31“Why would you let him do this to me?" Rand asked Venita. She just stared at him blankly, emotionless. She was throwing zero feelings.“It's not my fault that a real man wanted me, and his way of getting me was by getting rid of the former mate." A chuckle escaped from her lips. “You think this is funny. I have been there for you through thick and thin. Taking in all your horrible mistakes, trying to make things better for you, and this is how you pay me back." Rand's limping had stopped. The rage of anger in him seemed to remove every trace of pain that he was experiencing. That struck fear in Venita; she knew that even injured, if he were to beat her right now, she would most probably die.“I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to make you feel that way." Venita apologized, keeping a very safe distance from Rand. Tension hung thick in the air as Venita and Rand stood face to face, their voices raised in anger as they hurled accusations and recriminations at each other. The alt
Chapter 32“Hey, Morris, when can I come and see you? I have got vital information for you. " The assassin said, feeling smug with himself, at least, this information would make him be on the top good safe list of Morris.“Is the information so solid that you can't tell me over the phone?" Morris asked him, impatient laced in his voice. He hissed. “Yes. Because once you get the information, you'll want to plan on it immediately, no waiting or delays." The assassin assured him of the power of the information he held.“Okay. It would be best if you came in this evening. I'll text you the particular time and moment to go in. The idea of nonsocialization is the best play for either of us here.They ended the call and resumed their lives.Morris had texted him to be in the office around five thirty and six o'clock. The assassin moves sleekly through the confines of the workers until he gets into Morris's office. In the dimly lit confines of Morris's office, the assassin stood before him,
Chapter 33Morris sat in his office, the soft glow of the desk lamp casting long shadows across the room as he poured over the latest financial reports. Not only was the company in Jeopardy, the assassin got caught, and now he is scared that he would be exposed. The money he had paid him had significantly affected his finances. His phone rang. Venita's name popped up on the screen; overwhelmed by the day's events, he decided to pick up the call and vent to her.“Hello, Venita. How are you doing?" Morris asked Venita as he picked up the call.“Hi, daddy. I'm doing alright. How has your day been?" Venita's voice was laced with concern.“Honestly, today has not been the greatest of days for me. It hasn't been great at all." He shared. “Please, tell me about it." She asked. “I made sure to involve myself in a significant investment, which didn't work out for me. Also, the assassin I hired to kill your ex-husband failed. He failed woefully. " Morris shared. “Fuck. That bitch. I don't u
Chapter 34.Morris and his colleague talked about their opportunity to kill Lecter at the event hosted at the hotel by a company trying to raise awareness.“So, you have alerted the assassin on how to do things and how to do it?" Morris asked him.“He is not a fool, Morris. You are smart, and he is a well-trained assassin, and he has been properly treated. If he fails, he will not be paid, and my guard will have him killed." The colleague said a smirk grew on his face. "The night was heavy with tension as the hired assassin lay in wait, his finger poised on the trigger as he watched Lecter James step out of his car and enter the luxurious hotel where the event was being held. This was it, the moment he had been waiting for, the chance to finally rid the world of the man who would make him earn so much money.“Steady, steady." The assassin said to himself, concentrating intensely, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But as he took aim and prepared to fire, a sudden commotion br
Chapter Thirty-FiveVenita sat in the cafe, the moonlight illuminating where Ste sat, her mind racing with thoughts of revenge as she waited for her contact to arrive. After her heinous activity with the doctor, sleeping with him, she felt worthless to some point. To get information, she had used her body, and it was not as if the doctor was sleeping with her. Now, she plans to bring Anna and her ex-husband, Lecter.She had a plan, a plan to tear Anna and Lecter apart once and for all, and she would stop at nothing to see it through. If she is willing to sleep with someone for a piece of basic information, she would be willing to do much more. The minutes ticked by, and her contact finally arrived: a shadowy figure. He was wearing a black hoodie, his face covered, and he wore a mask. He located Venita and walked up to her.Venita wasted no time getting to the point, her voice low and urgent as she outlined her request.“I need you to do something for me," she said, her eyes gleaming
Chapter 36“Do I have to follow you?" Anna whined, complaining to Lecter.“Yes, I have a beautiful wife, and I want everyone to see this beauty. Also, we need to go out more and take pictures to get more publicity. " Lecter tells her.“Yeah, we have gone out many times and gotten a lot of publicity." Anna contested. “This is different; it's fundraising publicity. It will do both of us good, so please, my two babies." Lecter said, kissing Anna and touching her stomach. "Please, dress up, and let's go to this party." “Fine, only because you asked. " Anna said, stomping her feet as she walked up the stairs. In a short period, that's what Anna said it was, and she came down fully dressed and ready for the party.“God damn, you look so beautiful, baby. Drop dead gorgeous. " Lecter said, walking up to her and taking her hands in his. He kissed her and gently rubbed her belly. “Let's go." They both got in the car and drove away. People began dropping in, getting into the party, and mak
Chapter Thirty-SevenLecter opened the door to the room with force, busting in like he was in an action movie. She was probably hoping to catch her frolicking.“Hey!! What's going on? Are you under attack?" Anna asked with concern. She had dropped the food in her hand out of fear. Food was scattered over the floor, the door half broken, and the worker stared at them in awe.“No, let's go. Now!!" He yelled and walked out of the room. He didn't wait for her like he used to.Shock filled Anna's mind, her thoughts racing, trying to figure out what had happened, what his ex-wife would have done to him to make him feel this way. She quickly follows suit.“Sorry about the door. He will pay for it, don't worry. " Anna apologized to the worker before she walked out.Lecter was already waiting in the car. Immediately after she entered the car, he drove off, not waiting for her to sit correctly. “What happened at the party to make you feel this way?" She asked as she struggled to put the seat
Chapter 38“What is it?" Lecter asked, his voice heavy, his breath heavy from sneaking and running around. “Can we talk about our situation?" Anna asked. "I honestly don't like the way things have been since yesterday. You didn't even look at me today, let alone greeting me. I promise you that I didn't cheat on you." “No thanks. I am not talking to you. Good night." He responded with a lighthearted tone. Lecter had earlier thought he would talk to her today and fix the issue, but with the call he overheard, he became uncertain. Plotting his next move, Lecter set out to follow Anna to where she would meet her lover. But he had to ensure she was not suspicious, so he left the house earlier than she would.The next day came, and he informed Anna that he would leave the house awhile. “Where are you going?" Anna asked but didn't get a reply. "When will you be back?" The follow-up question had no reply also. “Stay safe," Lecter said as she opened the door. “Fuck you!" She yelled as h
