The next day, Venita went to the station to see Joe. However, he was not so intrigued to see her."What are you doing here?" Joe asked Venita. She had requested to see him in an interrogation room and was granted access since they were siblings."Joe, I wanted to see how you were doing-""After you abandoned me, you mean?" Joe cut her off and scoffed. Venita glared at him with disdain."You brought this on yourself. How could you be so stupid? I tried to help you though but father thinks it's a wrong idea. He wants you to suffer for some time to learn a lesson," she said to him and he chuckled. "You know, Venita, I see where this is going. Right now, you feel like you are on top of the world. Daddy's girl. Promising future if you kill Lecter James and steal his wealth. But let me tell you something. If Father could knock our mother out and let me rot in jail, he will do the same to you. Leave now while you still have the chance!" Joe admonished. However, Venita smiled."I have the ch
"Are you alright, Anna?" Lecter asked Anna as she kept glaring at her ring while he drove away from the mall. Venita's unruly attitude had given her a scare. "I'm the happiest woman alive, Lecter. You saved me from that bitter woman. She already broke your heart. What else does she want with you?" Anna asked with a sigh."Don't worry, my love. I'll keep on protecting you. Do you like the ring?" He asked she smiled. "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen Lecter. It's perfect. Thank you very much for this. Becoming your wife has always been a dream of mine since the first time we met," Anna giggled. Lecter smiled at her."That means you have a wedding to plan," he added and she smiled. But just as Anna was about to say something, Lecter's phone rang. It was Alaric calling. Lecter picked up the phone."Alaric," Lecter said with his eyes still on the road. "Boss, can you make it to Mr Reginald's house right away?" He asked."What for? I just proposed to Anna. I'm taking her on a
Lecter was curious to know what the police had found on the crime scene. He was one hundreds percent certain that someone was messing with him at that point. But who was it, Lecter wondered.As his anger fumed, Lecter thought about the things that he would do to the person who dared try to frame him for murder. "I will not be mercify!" Lecter fumed.He drove to the police station and then parked his car on the car park. Then, Lecter stepped down, and walked into the police station. He looked around for detective Bruce until he saw him going over some paperwork.Lecter walked up to him."What's going on?" Lecter asked Bruce without a smile on his face. Detective Bruce smiled, however, Lecter was not in the mood for such gesture."Let's talk in my office, please?" He asked and then led Lecter to a fairly small office with lots of paperwork scattered everywhere. As soon as they settled into their seats, Bruce sighed.He took out a little notebook and a pen, and then gazed at Lecter."Re
"And how do you know it's Lecter himself? It could have been a coincidence, or perhaps a resemblance," Billy, Rand's friend said to him as they enjoyed wine. Since Lecter fired Rand, all he did was drink and smoke till he passed out. Venita barely came around to see him and he was too preoccupied with his habits to notice her absence."I was friends with Lecter for many years. I know it was him. He's the heir to Kent James empire. But I just can't prove it. When was the last time you heard about Lecter?" Rand asked Billy who sighed."Well, never. He and I were never close. Do you remember what he always said about me?" Billy scoffed."He said that you were an opportunist and that you are not someone to be trusted," Rand responded. "Like the fucker knew me!" A furious Billy drank more wine. Rand then thought for some time before he turned to Billy."Why don't we spy on him? Lecter James. If we want to confirm that he is not indeed Lecter Durant, then we can tail him. What do you say?
"I know that look on your face. Something's wrong," Anna said to Lecter as he stepped back into the restaurant. As the place buzzed with people while they thanked their anonymous benefactor, Lecter helped Anna stand."I have to take you to safety. Come with me," he told her. Anna did not object. She just stood up and then followed Lecter outside.As soon as they got outside, Lecter opened the door for Anna to get into the car. While he did so, Lecter observed that a black SUV which had been parked by the side of the street since his discussion with Dylan was still there.Lecter then took out his phone and texted Alaric who was closeby. As Lecter drove off, the SUV wanted to follow, but Alaric blocked the car with his'. Alaric stepped down and approached the driver's seat. He knocked on the window and Billy rolled down the glass."Are you following my boss?" Alaric asked Billy with no chill in his tone. Billy scoffed."What are you talking about? You must have me confused with someone
"Where are you taking me? Where's Lecter?" Anna questioned Dylan while they trudged toward a motel. She had doubts because the place was secluded, and somehow lower than what Lecter would take her to should he want to surprise her."You shall meet with him soon, ma'am. Please, follow me," Dylan told her. Anna sighed and followed. There were some passerby who walked past them, and since she wasn't being coerced, no one said anything.Dylan led Anna to a room. She looked around the secluded place once again and wanted to turn back. But she wanted to know what this surprise was all about still.However, Anna decided to call it off. It was too spooky for her to deal with."That's it. I'm leaving," she said to Dylan, but then he opened the door and she saw a very romantically arranged room with roses, flowers, cakes, wine and sweets.Anna froze. She gazed at the room while a soft music played somewhere inside. Then she exchanged glances with Dylan who smiled all the way."He wanted to do
Chapter 15 The room went silent as Lecter stepped inside; the sight of him exuded power that only he possessed, and everyone else respected him even though some didn’t want him In the position he held. “I gathered y’all here to discuss the replacement of Reginald Heath.” Lecter started, “I know it came as a shock of his demise, and the sooner than letter, we move on and discuss what to do with this shares and how to find a replacement to take over his place.” Lecter explained while everyone sat back and relaxed, intensely looking at him. “But isn’t it too soon to find a replacement?” One of the shareholders said. “Should we sit back and mourn for longer days and let our businesses slacks?” Another shareholder countered the other person. Everyone started to speak at once. “Silence,” Lecter said, his voice merely above a whisper, and everyone’s voice quieted. “I didn’t call a meeting for all of you to bicker with one another,” he kissed his teeth, “shall we proceed to what’s impor
Chapter 16. The next day, Vance didn’t show up at the office early; he took his time in his house, pondering hard on the steps against Lecter. An idea struck him alongside a light bulb; he hurried out of his house to the office in the early afternoon, and he called for his secretary, who was behind him in a second. “I need you to do something for me.” “What’s that, sir?” She asked, holding a pen and some files in her other hand. “I want you to help me work on something,” Vance rubbed his chin, then continued talking, “I want you to fabricate some files of embezzlement, make it a lot of money.” “I don’t understand.” She said, swallowing hard. “There’s someone that has been testing my power and patience. I want to put the person in place.” Vance explained, but it was apparent the secretary wasn’t getting his points, so he explained further. “You’re to fabricate some papers that show embezzlement of money; let it be known that who stole the money is no one other than Lecter Jam
