"What the hell did you just do?" Gerald barked at Rebecca as he jumped from the bed. His breath had become heavy and he just glared at her like someone looking at a ghost. Rebecca just walked past him and sat down on the bed, frowning as she did so."What the fuck did you just do?" He asked her again, taking powerful strides towards her."Something we should have done a long time ago. It's long overdue for Oliver Lionheart to get busted. We have the power and if it means that I have to force his hand to give me my money, then I will do so," she said to him and pascal nearly exploded in anger."Do you have any idea how foolish that sounds? You just threw away your only leverage. Do you even know what you have done? Oliver will not take it lightly with you. He will hunt you and he will destroy you!""What's the big deal about him anyway? You all worship him like he's a god. Well, newsflash, he is not! He is just as human as the rest of us and I have no reason to be afraid of him." She s
"Pascal?" Oliver asked in a tone that suggested slight irritation. He was not in the mood for any of Pascal's shenanigans."Mr Lionheart, would you mind stepping outside for a moment?" Pascal asked over the phone and Oliver frowned. What the heck did he want this time?"Come inside. My servants will show you to my study." Oliver told him and hung up. He sighed and looked at sypher."How would you like to receive payment?" He asked her and she giggled. "Um, I'll ask for my payment someday sir. But for now, why don't you just let them accumulate? I hope you will not forget the things I've done for you in the past." She said to him and Oliver smiled."How could I even do that? You remind me so much of my sister. She is as stubborn and resilient as you are. However, you have never told me about your family. Where are they?" Oliver asked her and sypher stuttered."Well, sir, you do not need to know for now. Don't you worry. I will take care of business here. Why don't you go over and atte
Viktor Grey gasped as he opened his eyes. The bright light from the room pierced his eyes and he squinted, shuddering as the pain swept through his body. He tried to stand up, but the terrible pain he felt in his thorax made him crash down again. Viktor Grey exhaled, as he tried this time to focus on the light. The room became more visible to him. He slowly roamed his eyes around as he looked at the large room with very expensive furniture. They were so Grand that he was certain some of them had been bought off the dark web. He braced himself again as he tried to stand up, but he felt a sharp pain that pushed him down again."Ah!" He exclaimed. The pain made him weak, and he did not like to feel weak. He wanted to be powerful at all times. And where the fuck was he? Then, for the last time, he braced himself and got up from the bed. His legs trembled as he tried to stand, and he frowned when he felt so useless.He took one step in front of the other and managed to approach the large
"What could you possibly give to me?" Viktor Grey asked Veron as he trudged towards the door. He gave Viktor a wicked smile before he opened the door. Elina stood outside, gazing around the beautiful house. When she saw that the door has been opened, she looked forward and saw Veron standing there. He smiled at her again, and her eyes slowly roamed to Viktor on the bed."Father!" She gasped as she dashed inside. Viktor Grey exhaled when she ran towards him. He could not hide the fact that he was elated by her presence. She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly."Ow..." He groaned as she pulled away. "Oh, sorry father. How are you? Are you okay?" She asked him while looking at his pale face and cracked lips."I'm fine. I'm alright. What about you? Are you alright?" He asked her and she nodded. "Such a beautiful moment. Aren't you glad to see your precious daughter right now, Viktor? This would not have been possible if it wasn't for me." Veron told Viktor while he kept smi
"No, wait, excuse me sir! You cannot just barge in here!" The security men at the door yelled at Pascal as he led three cops into Grey's Pharmaceuticals. As from that moment, a lot of eyes were on them. What had been a sunny afternoon ended up to be more steamy. "I have a warrant. This company has been exposed for harbouring information which could be detrimental to the development of this city. It is my duty to crush those attempts. Now, step aside, or I will charge you with intercepting an investigation." Pascal said to the security men who slowly backed down. They did not want any trouble with him, especially then that he was starting to get famous in the city.Pascal trudged inside, looking arive briefly. Grey's Pharmaceuticals was large, extremely large, and there was so many beautiful things to be seen in the company. He just kept walking until he got to a lift and went in with his men. Pascal had already gotten info on which floor Viktor Grey had his office, and he went straig
"You...how did you..." Pascal started but Viktor Grey quickly cut him off."You thought that I was dead, didn't you? So, that's why you decide to come to my office to cause a rukus. Ah, cops of these days. You never Really learn until you are taught a lesson." Viktor Grey said and walked closer to Pascal. Pascal could barely contain the shock on his face. He knew it was so obvious."You thought right. I did die, but I came back to life again. Pity that I cannot say the same about those wishing to do me harm." He told Pascal, and at that time, Pascal began to get his confident back."So what? You want to murder three cops right now? Is that what this is?" Pascal asked him and Viktor Grey quickly scoffed and recoiled. "I can arrest you for such words. You know that right? Let me tell you, Viktor, I am not scared of you. Nor of any of you. I have an ongoing investigation and you are interrupting.""So, tell me what you are investigating. What could be so important that you had to ransack
"Pascal! My office, now!" Pascal's heard his boss yell at him. Pascal just stood up and walked into the office. His boss kept pacing around, like he was trying to contain his anger. Pascal wondered why he was having such a bad day. Did he offend anyone in the cosmos?"You called for me, sir?" Pascal asked in modesty. His boss paused and gazed at him for some seconds."How did you do it? Fool everyone. How did you manage to hide your dirty nature in the cops?" He asked Pascal who just froze there, unsure of what to say."I'm sorry but I do not understand. What do you mean sir?" Pascal asked. His boss just picked up a file on the table and lay it down before him. Pascal gazed at the file and went through them. There were lots of fake images of him speaking to corrupt criminals that have been convicted in the past."Sir, these aren't me. I never spoke with these people." Pascal stated."That is not the only evidence I have, Pascal. I also have cash receipts and transaction details of the
Mia quickly rushed out of the Starbucks that was just to the left of her company. She could not argue that they made the best coffee in that part of the city, and fr a day that already began with lots of paperwork to go over, she knew that she was in for a long time.She quickly returned to the office. She could not afford to stay away for so long. In The Crow, several people rushed around, each trying to cover the latest happenings in the city. They all knew that there were several stories that required their attention, and if they wanted to remain the best, they had to be ahead of the times."Ma'am, i just got a report of a murder in the fifth Street. They say the scene is gory and it requires our type of presence to properly cover the story."Rory, a promising journalist said to Mia as she walked towards her office. He had joined her about two months before, and he was good."What makes it so special? There are lots of murders everyday." She asked him while walking towards the lift.
"How is the child holding up?" Jake asked Viktor Grey over the phone while he fixed his attention on Stacy. The little child was obviously terrified, and the constant dripping of water from the leaking pipes made her even more unsettled."She is coping better than I imagined. Now all that is left is for us to kill that bastard cop and Oliver with it," Viktor Grey said to him."I know that Oliver will reach out soon. And when he does, I will be ready for him. You have dozens of my men to guard you there. You will be fine," Jake told Viktor Grey and then hung up. As soon as he did, Viktor returned his attention to Stacy.She whimpered and dragged herself back as he approached her..he had a wicked laugh on his face."Don't be afraid little one. I will not hurt you. I just want to hurt your daddy and the man he works with. You see, I used to have a daughter like you. Her name was Elina. She was very beautiful and she was brilliant. But the man your daddy works with killed her and so, I wa
"This can be a trap. Tell me why I must believe you," Oliver asked her and Beth sighed. She could not believe that she was making some sort of negotiation with Oliver."Left for me, you will be behind bars right now. But I am doing this for Steven and I am breaking my code to do it so do not make it harder than it already is," she said to him and Oliver smiled."I like you. Come with me," he told her and then led her to his study. Miranda was there clicking furiously on the systems there.. when Beth approached, she stopped what she was doing and then gazed at Beth for a while."Miranda, meet Beth, Beth Miranda. She's our eyses in the sky. I have a feeling that you'll both be friends. Beth, tell me where you think Stacy is," Oliver asked."Somewhere in St Lambert's City. The tiger gang has a secret hideout in St Lambert's that they use for various dangerous activities. My best guess would be that they brought her here to avoid suspicion from the cops. Besides, it was probably a diversi
"Heard what?" Oliver could feel his anger rising. The heat in the room suddenly increased and when he approachd Pascal, Pascal jerked back to avoid the possible punch that was coming his way "I did not know about Mia. I am really sorry Oliver. I am broken beyond what you can imagine. And I am furious! I am so furious that I wan to vent my anger on someone and I don't know who," Pascal said to him."And why are you here then? To vent your anger on me?" Oliver asked while raising his eyebrow. Pascal sighed defeated as his shoulders dropped."No, not at all. I just came here to help you in your mission.. I know that you will not sit tight and watch those who killed her be at peace. I know that you will destroy them. So I want to join you. Please Oliver forgive me. I need your forgiveness. I know that I do not deserve it but I just want you to please forgive me," he said to oliver. Oliver did not feel his anger subside, not even for a moment. He gazed at Pascal again and Wondered what mi
"No, fuck! This cannot he happening to me!" Steven tried to breath as the words found their way out of his mouth but he just could not fathom the degree of pain that he was feeling. Anger would not help him at that time he thought. Jake had decided to Target his family and the only way that he was getting his family back was if met Jake's forces with one that was equal to the task, or if he surrenders.Steven quickly took the phone. He dialed Oliver's number and waited for him to pick up the phone."Steven," Oliver said as soon as he picked us up."Oliver. He has my daughter. That bastard has taken my daughter and I do not know what to do. He said he'll send me a location to meet with him and I have to decide whether or not I'll give my life for her," Steven blurted out."Take it easy Steven. Nothing will happen to your daughter or to you. I will ensure it," Oliver told him."But what can you do? Jake said that you cannot help me. My only option is to die for my daughter to live. I ha
"Like we said earlier, we do not allow anyone without an invitation to pass. I don't care if you are the chief of police. You are not stepping into this house," the guard repeated and that made Steven to wonder just how bad it is that the police force in Marshtown had fallen. If they could have no respect for his badge, then he just had to beat the living shit out of them"Let me pass. I will not ask you again," Steven said to the guards. One of them brought out his gun and gazed at Steven with fierce eyes."You need to leave now, mister or we will have a oribkemy," he said to Steven and just as Steven was about to make a move at them, the front door opened.. it was the judge"Let him through. He and I have some catching up to do," the judge said and the bodyguards let Steven pass. Steven followed the judge to The living room and there the judge settled himself into a chair. He even appeared to be Richer than he was some months ago."I can see that you are back from the dead, Steven.
"Chief, what are you doing here?" Steven asked the chief as he slowly approached him. The chief paid close attention to the files that was in Steven's hands and then his eyes roamed to Steven's."Don't tell me you still plan on pursuing that case. I told you it was dangerous, Steven and you do not want to listen to me. That case will get you killed," the chief said and Steven dropped the files in his hand. He paid a closer look to the chief and for real he could see worry in the man's face."I don't understand. Why are you telling me all of this?" He asked the chief really desperate for answers. The chief sighed."When the tiger gang found out that you were following them, they planned to have you killed. They reached out to me and asked me to do the job otherwise they would kill my family. I tried to beg them but they were adamant. They would not take no for an answer. So, I made up my mind about you," the chief stopped, and then observed the dark face that Steven was wearing at that
"Come in, you will be safe here," Bill said to Avira. She gazed into the well furnished apartment before she stepped inside. The warmth of the place enveloped her and for a moment, she was feeling secure."I still don't understand why I'm hwre. I told you I was fine. You didn't need to go through all of this for me," she told him."Nonsense. You were lucky that day that you stepped out to get coffee while he explosion occurred. If Oliver's enemies wanted to know something about him, who do you think will be in the best position to tell them what's happening with him? Of course it's his secretary. I want to keep you safe so that no harm will come to you," he added. Avira could feel her heart melting. But she refused to admit it."Well in that case, I hope there is something to drink. Where are we exactly?" She asked him."This is my house. I come here sometimes to relax for a moment and then focus my thoughts." He told her."You are really loyal to Oliver. You literally forget to live
Oliver drove his car to the address on the envelope. It was an expensive restaurant, one that he had planned to visit with Mia after their honeymoon. He shoved back the painful thoughts and then stepped down from the car. Oliver gazed the entrance one more time and then stepped into the restaurant."Good evening sir, how may I be of assistance?" A waiter asked him and then oliver smiled."Good evening. I am looking for this table," he said and then showed her the number on the envelope. The girl smiled at him again."Please come with me sir," she said and then led him away. Oliver followed her closely, and as they walked through the scanty place, he could feel the eyes of some people on him. He knew who they were immediately, they were part of Jake's group."In here sir," she said to him and Oliver Stepped into the room that she was pointing towards. As soon as he entered the well decorated space, he looked around.There were beautiful lighting all over the place and the large chairs
"So you mean to tell me that that lowlife cop decided to show again in my town?" Jake asked over the phone and the chief of police sighed"I gave him explicit warnings and told him not to ever return to this town but he did not listen. I don't know how he managed to work his way back. My instructions were very clear on him sir. That cop Should never set foot in Marshtown, that was what I said." The chief of police stated and Jake laughed."It seems like he is begging to die. I suppose that I should Grant his wish then. If he wants death, who am I to say that I will not kill him?" He said to the chief of police."Give him some time sir. I am sure that I can persuade him to return to St Lambert's City. He cannot gain anything from being here. He will only make things worse. He came back and started accusing the tiger gang of being responsible of some crimes. I will take care of him myself. You do not need to worry," the chief of police stated. He wanted to save Steven's life at least.
