"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

Days later, Bruce received a ping in his phone while Kenny still sat beside him. He checked the phone and it was a message from Lecter. It contained the audio that he had recorded from the encounter with Solomon.As soon as Bruce saw the audio, he chuckled"Lecter James. You amazing man!" Bruce exclaimed. Kelly raised her head when she heard the expression."What is it? What's happened?" She asked him. Bruce took out the phone and played the recording to her. Her eyes opened wide when she heard the recording."Is that who I think it is?" She asked, puzzled. Bruce nodded with a smile on his face."Lecter James cracked it." He told her. Then he attempted to move from the bed but she held him down."Woah! Where are you going?" She asked him."I gotta get this to the captain. They probably still want to arrest Lecter James. I have to make sure that doesn't happen. Plus, Solomon's body has to be retrieved. It's been days already," he told her and tried to move again but she still stopped h

Kerry had boarded a flight to see Ivan for she was furious over how things had turned out in the last couple days. She quickly took a cab from the airport and then drove to his mansion. When she got there, the guards wanted to send her back but someone walked towards them with a limp."Hold it. Don't you know who she is?" The woman asked the guards."Forgive us, lady florence, but we are under strict instructions from Mr Ivan never to let anyone in for the meantime," one of the guards said to Florence. She sighed."I'm pretty sure that Ivan would have your head if you sent her away. She is Kelly Braxton, yes. The same Kelly Braxton. Adopted sister to Ivan Braxton. Do you want to send his family away?" Florence quarried the guards who gazed at each other with uncertainty.Reluctantly, they opened the gates for Kelly to drive in. Florence approached her car and gazed in from the window."You look like shit," Florence joked."And you look like you've been through hell. Hop in, let me giv

"You thought that it was wise to keep secrets from me didn't you? Look where its gotten you now!" Morris yelled at Venita who sat down on the couch sobbing. She has never been so affected by someone's death like Cara did to her. She sniffled and then gazed at her father."You're not supposed to be involved in everything that concerns me. I'm a grown woman and I'm capable of making my own choices!" She snapped at Morris who laughed at her."Grown woman? Are you fucking kidding me right now? You behave like a child. I have never seen anyone as childish as you are. How dare you say that to me? The moment you noticed that Solomon had come into play, you should have stayed the fuck away from Rex and his family. You gambled with your life, all for what?" He yelled."To get back at Lecter! Our family is crumbling too because of him. Look at us father, we are barely holding on. No company wants to deal with us because of the things that we have done and here we are looking for our big break.

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
