Chapter 46“No you cannot help them.” Anna bellowed out angrily.“Baby.” Lecter started, he was trying to reason with Anna to let him fight for Mia and her mother against Morris because he would not stop at collecting all they owned, he would not spare their lives. “They don’t worth it. After all they’ve put me through and they were not even contented with the wealth my father left for Mia, If it weren’t for you, they would have taken mine.” Anna yelled, gesturing with her hand.Lecter moved backward, Anna was in a mood today and she was angry, as a pregnant woman, he knows he’s supposed to act in a way that won’t fuel her anger the more.Lecter cleared his throat, “Mia and her mother has realized their mistakes..” “Good for them!” Anna deadpanned. Lecter was trying to help them but Anna didn’t want him to.“They need our help and we are in a position to help Mia and your step mother or else Morris would not stop at just collecting the inheritance, he could kill them, look at your s
"How are you holding up?" Anna asked Mia over the phone while she went over some company papers. Part of her inheritance had allowed her to be the new CEO of a branch of her father's company, and she was determined to do a wonderful job."Honestly, Anna, it feels like I'm losing it. I don't know what to do anymore. There I was thinking that I could steal Lecter from you and everything will be fine. I never knew that it would come to this," Mia responded. "It's alright Mia. Do not beat yourself up over it. Morris Thorn is a very evil man and no sort of business should be conducted with him. Dishonesty is a trait that Lecter and I both hate so much," Anna replied and she heard Mia sigh and sniffle."It was so convincing. He came like a knight in shining armor, and I was too wrapped up in my jealousy to see that he was nothing more than a golddigger. What could have have happened if Lecter didn't intervene? He would have killed me!" Mia said to Anna who just sighed."Well, it's a good t
48Lecter arrived at Rex Incorporated company and amidst everyone presently waiting to see Rex, the receptionist bypassed their request and immediately ushered Lecter In. She led the way to her boss office after telling him that her boss, Rex had been waiting for him. The receptionist knocked on the door and slightly opened it, poking her head in and letting her boss know Lecter was around.“You can come in sir.” The receptionist said and halfway inside the office, Rex dismissed her, the receptionist turned back and left.“Rex?” Lecter said, holding his hand out for a shake.“Lecter.” Rex said, they shake hands firmly with a corny smile plastered across their faces.“Good to see you. How are you doing?” Lecter asked and Rex shrugged his shoulder.“I’m very well. Although I’m quite preoccupied with work and sometimes, you know how it can be.”“Draining.” Lecter said, shaking his head. “I can totally related to that.” “How are you too?”“I’m Fine, thank you Rex.” Lecter replied, “let’
"what do you mean you're doing business with Lecter James? Have you forgotten who his father is?" An older man said to Rex over the phone.Rex paced around the office. He wondered who had told his troublesome uncle that he was doing business with Lecter."Uncle Mike, you are no longer welcome to partake in the affairs of this company. You lost your rights when you tried to steal from us. Now, I must insist that you never speak of how I govern this company ever again," he said to Mike."You little brat! How are you speak to me in such manner? I just want to protect your interest here. Lecter James is the wrong person to do business with. He will destroy you,""Why are you so hell-bent on antagonizing Lecter? From all I know about him, he has a clean slate. He does his business with utmost integrity. Or does that scare you?""The devil you know is better than the angel you don't. Men like Lecter James hide their true nature within themselves. They do not care about anyone else other tha
Lecter stepped out of the house in speed as Alaric followed closely. It was already past eight in the morning and he was late for the meeting that he had scheduled with his stakeholders. Something very important has come up over the weekend and Lecter had to take care of it."Has the family began funeral proceedings yet, Alaric?" Lecter asked while Alaric opened the car door for him to step inside."Not get sir. Like everyone else, they are waiting for your statement on the matter. " Alaric replied."My statement? What happened was an accident. Otto's death was not on purpose and the workers in the company have already been questioned. What more do they want?" Lecter asked and scoffed. Alaric got into the front seat and another Dagger came into the car to start the ignition."Sir, from what I was able to gather, you have someone in the stakeholders who is convincing the family to press charges despite it all being an accident. It is a very sad thing sir, Alaric said to him."Who is it
There were files that detailed the corruption of Rex Incorporated and several other files which revealed their past illegal activities. Lecter carefully went through each of the files to ensure that he wasn't missing anything.Then a text came into his phone from the same unknown number."Use the wisely," said the text. Lecter did not respond. Instead, he slowly walked out of the company to the garage where Alaric and the other shadow Bone were standing.When they saw him, they quickly bowed their head in respect. Lecter walked up to them and then gazed at them."Alaric, I want you to look into something for me. Here," Lecter said to him and then transfered the files to Alaric. Alaric's phone pinged and then he started checking out the files, one by one."What do you want me to do boss?" He asked Lecter. "I want you to confirm the credibility of these files. Check whether they are fakes or not, and report to me as soon as you can. " Lecter told him."You got it boss," Alaric added. T
"What is the problem?" Freeman asked from the other side of the phone. Alex walked into his office in order to avoid the preying eyes of the cops in the station. For someone as paranoid as he was, he was not so certain that he could trust anyone."Do you remember that cop Bruce? He just came to me asking that I release those men in our custody. I don't like the agreement but he is threatening to expose me if I do not" Alex said to Freeman."Fuck! That cop is not working on his own." Freeman replied with a groan."How do you mean?" Alex asked, settling himself into a chair. His fingers grazed on some of the documents on the table before his eyes settled on his laptop."It's Lecter James! My boss. I can bet all that I have that he is involved in this somehow." Freeman replied."I thought you said that you would be able to get your boss to cooperate? Why is he acting loose?" He asked Freeman who scoffed."Like anyone could get Lecter to do what he doesn't want to do. I may have overestim
"What do you mean the men you sent are dead? What the fuck does that even mean?" Freeman barked at the other side of the phone while Alex paced around the room with worry written all over his face."I'm certain it's that man that Lecter sent to my office. I should have known that he was suspicious. That bloody man broke into my office and gave me a scare. How can a man just break into my office and waltz out of here with prisoners in my custody? What was I even thinking?' Alex yelled at himself and kicked the chair in his office."Pull yourself together, Alex. At this point, you will expose yourself even further. We have to assume that Lecter James already know who we are-""But he couldn't possibly know, right? I made sure to cover our tracks very well. We didn't even use any of our men to get to those fuckers. So, I think we are safe," Alex said and then Freeman laughed."You stupid boy. You don't know who you're dealing with, do you? Lecter James will stop at nothing to ensure he k
