"This has taken a different turn. You must find a way to salvage this. Your mother cannot be allowed to have any influence on this matter," Venita told Rex while they sat down together in a restaurant. Rex had ordered the VIP side which afforded some privacy and of course was more expensive. He kept glaring at her while she kept rambling."Do you think that I'm some dumb sod? I know that everything will go to shit if my mother becomes involved. I don't need you to remind me of the obvious," Rex snapped at her."Then what do you need me for? You just told me that your mother is demanding answers. If she becomes aware that Lecter has taken your company, what do you think she will do? She may cut you off the family fund. Do you want to live without the family fund? You will be broke," Venita told him."Of course I know that! I'm not a fool. However, I just don't know how to solve this issue. If my mother is this involved, then my brother Solomon is also in on this. They work side by sid

Lecter sat down in his office and gazed at the ring. Everything that June said began to replay in his mind. He knew that there was a possibility she was saying the truth, but it all sounded too much like lies.And the fact that she has been abducted did not help matters. Lecter knew that if he wanted genuine answers to his questions, he had to find a way to get her back. But where would he start from? There was so much he did not know about her, and security footage from his house didn't have any facial recognitions. It was like up until that mommey, June has been existing as a ghost.Lecter's phone rang. It was Kevin. Lecter had appointed him to be in charge of getting June back. Alaric and Bone did not believe her one bit and Kevin was more open minded."Have you found her yet, kevin?" Lecter asked him."Not yet boss. There's no trace of her. It's like she disappeared or something," Kevin replied.Lecter stood up from his seat and walked to the window to take in a view of the city.

The plane flew to Raven city. Lecter had taken his private jet and although he had the feeling that the Dagger did not believe him when he told them about June's location, he knew he just had to show them.Lecter sat at the back of the jet, glaring at the ring which now looked like a piece of artifact. The ring constantly gave off faint humes of green color. Lecter considered so many possibilities. That would mean that his mother did not abandon him, everything he has been told was a lie."In life, we have to learn and unlearn," Lecter thought out loud. He wllld come to that later, but first he had to save June."We're here in Raven city," Alaric announced over the PI. As soon as the plan touched ground, Lecter took out his gun. It was a special pistol made specifically for him. It had range and a chamber for one hundred bullets."Everyone, follow me," Lecter said and stepped down. The Daggers followed him down the plane. Lecter inhaled and looked around while standing, then he touche

Venita picked up the phone and dialed Cara's number. Ever since Cara returned to the hotel she booked, Venita has had this depth of loneliness within her. She could not understand it because until then, she had not had much use for friends."Venita, darling, how are you today?" Cara asked and Venita sighed."Honestly, I am fucking terrible. All of my plans are just going the wrong way and there's nothing that I can do to stop it," she said with a sigh."What happened Venita? You seem stressed. Is this about Lecter again? Do you need me to come over?" She asked but Venita flinched at the idea."No, you don't have to. And of course it's about Lecter! He's the very bane of my existence. And not just that, there's trouble brewing in Rex's side as well. Turns out, he has a younger Brother who is attractive as hell and they are in a power tusel. Somehow, I think I've ended up being at the center of it all," Venita said to Cara who giggled."You don't say! So, now what? What do you plan on d

"We just received news that the former CEO of Rex Incorporated has been found dead in his apartment as a result of an overdose. Authorities are currently looking into the matter and his family is yet to release any official statement regarding the incident..."Lecter watched the news while the reporter gave full details on Rex's death. He furrowed his brows while he listened carefully. Something was not adding up. He knew that Rex was obviously upset about losing the company, but he was not suicidal.Someone killed Rex, but who was it? Lecter's phone began to ring afterward. It was Bruce calling. Lecter picked up the phone."Detective," Lecter said."Mr James. Have you seen the news?" He asked Lecter."Be specific, detective. Lots of things happen in this city," he said to Bruce who sighed."The death of Mr Rex. There is something brewing in the shadows and I thought to let you know first. They are trying to rule Rex's death as a murder. Turns out in fact, that he was deliberately ove

"I can't believe you did this to me! How could you, Cara, set me up with Solomon? What the heck is wrong with you?" Venita blew hot while she stood before Cara in her hotel room."Oh, for God's sake Venita, quit being a baby. Don't pretend like you do not like the attention that you are getting. Right now, you have Solomon, who is the most eligible between both brothers swooning over you. I did you a favor,""No. You only connected us because there was something for you to gain from it. So, tell me, what exactly did Solomon promise you? What is he offering?" She asked Cara."Nothing he hasn't always offered. Stability. A good life. Business that doesn't involve me whoring myself. And oh, perhaps all of those things are what you could have offered should you be a good friend." Cara accused. Venita chuckled."Are you trying to blame me for your misfortunes? Don't forget Cara, I have been your friend since day one...""A terrible friend you have been! You only remember to contact me when

"How could you do this, Solomon? Your own brother! How could you kill him?" Ursula screamed at Solomon while he stood transfixed before her. He could not understand why she was screaming, he thought that her anger was not justified."I don't understand what the outburst is all about mother. You have constantly expressed your disappointment with Rex. You confirmed that he was not fit to be the head. Why are you angry that I did what you indirectly wanted?" Solomon asked her, and Ursula gazed at him in disbelief."Can you hear yourself? You are speaking nonsense! How could you kill your brother and feel not a tiny bit of remorse? Yes, I expressed my disappointment, but that is because it is the only thing I can do. You Stepped out of line by taking his life! Can you not see that?" She screamed at him.Solomon walked to the mini bar and poured himself a drink. He gulped down the contents of the glass in one go."The side business under my care has flourished over the years. Look at the m

"The Braxtons came to see you? How do we handle them boss?" Alaric asked Lecter while he walked back to the car. Lecter was calm and composed, like nothing of what happened even fazed him."If they could find me, that means they can also find June. Right now, our priority will be to protect those that we can protect. Bone?" Lecter called out."Yes boss," Bone said in his usual cold voice."I am tasking you with the safety of my wife Anna. Under no circumstances must she leave the house alone, or be left unguarded. Make sure you keep a watchful eye on her. Is that understood?" He asked "Perfectly boss," Bone replied."And Kevin, you must find June and keep her safe. I don't want anything to happen to her. Protect her, although I have a feeling that she may not want your protection," Lecter said to Kevin who just gave him a nod. Then, Lecter got into the car and his phone rang.It was Kurt, from his company,"Now is not a good time Kurt," Lecter said over the phone."Pardon me Mr James

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
