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
June hummed a song while she cooked in her kitchen. It was a cool evening and she was tired from all the beating that she had endured in the Braxton's hands.. besides the organization that she worked with had given her some day off to take care of herself.She made herself the best steak she could get, a reminder of how Lecter's mom used to do it. Then she served it on a plate and took it out of the kitchen, but she gasped and the plate fell from her hands when she saw someone sitting in her living room."Woah!" Kevin exclaimed as he stood to his feet. Her eyes were flared and her chest beating so fast."What the heck are you doing here?" June asked him as she took in the sight of her beautiful steak on the floor. Kevin could see the hurt in her eyes."My boss instructed me to take you out of this place and move you to one of our safehouses," Kevin responded."Lecter said you should move me? I don't understand. What do you mean by that?" She asked and then headed to the kitchen to get
Bruce retired for the day and got into his car. He quickly zoomed off as his mind kept racing about the cases at hand and the Captain's order. He hadn't put a call across to the judge for he also needed a search warrant, but Bruce wanted to meet with Lecter first over the entire thing.He drove into the city which welcomed him with open arms. The night was cool, and it seemed like winter would come soon. That was Bruce's favorite time of the year. Bruce took out his phone and dialed Lecter's number. But a text popped up and he hung up to read the text."We're watching you," it said. Bruce frowned and checked the number. It was an unknown sender"What the hell..." Bruce muttered, but suddenly, car crashed into him.Bruce's car somersaulted several times before it crashed on the streets. People screamed while they saw the car that had hit Bruce drive away. Bruce groaned, and the last thing he remembered were people coming to his aid.***"Detective Bruce?" Lecter said while the call en
"You want me to believe that you, his own mother would give up her son? For what? Why would you want to do that?" Lecter asked her and Ursula sighed."Why don't we meet someplace private Lecter? I will send you directions. Please, I really need to see you. No matter what happens, my son must be stopped," she said to him and Lecter looked around. His instincts told him to go."Send the address. I'll meet you there," he said and then hung up.Few seconds later, the text came and Lecter stepped out of the hospital and drove to the location. It was a local restaurant, the type that served excellent food at affordable prices.Lecter's car attracted one or more stares as he parked, and then when he entered into the restaurant, the young lady by the door smiled at him. She twisted her hair in her hand as she studied him closely."Hello sir, is there anything you'd like today?" She asked him. Lecter kept his gaze off her. She was simply a lovestruck girl that he could not flirt with.Then, Ur
