Viktor's suspicion of Gerald led him to a breakthrough finally. One of his men whom he'd placed on the investigation eventually called and told him he had something on Gerald, so Viktor waited in the office for him.

After about an hour, the lad walked in with a brown envelope and bowed slightly to Viktor, who was eager for results. Viktor disregarded his greetings. "Go straight to the point," he said.

The lad handed him the file and began to explain. "These are the pictures I was able to get from the dash cams and CCTV outside the penitentiary. It is true that Gerald met someone."

Viktor impatiently tore the envelope open and fished out the series of pictures inside of it, curious to see the person who had Gerald's back. Was it Oliver? Little did he know that the results would shock him more than he'd expected.

His gaze faltered when they landed on the pictures, and Anson's face came into view. He couldn't believe it. The pictures displayed different scenes of Geral getting into Anson

    Gerald's arrival in Anson's hideout wasn't as productive or as friendly as he'd thought. How dare he forget that nothing about Anson was friendly?An air of tension hung in the air as Gerald recounted the frightening details of Viktor's failed assassination attempt.There wasn't a single tinge of sympathy in Anson's eyes as he watched Gerald narrate the story. The only thing he could think of was how he had underestimated Viktor Grey."The hotel room had been destroyed, but the reservation was under an alias. It won't be traceable to either of us," Gerald immediately added, careful as not to anger Anson.Anson's eyes narrowed as he absorbed the gravity of the situation. "You're telling me that Viktor Grey actively tried to have you killed?" His tone, a mix of disbelief and anger, betrayed the severity of the threat. "Which means he knows about me."Gerald, still shaken by the narrow escape, nodded solemnly. "Yes, Anson. It was a close call. I need your help to stop Viktor before he c

    Oliver stirred from a deep slumber as his peaceful morning was interrupted by his ringing phone, cutting through the silence of his bedroom. He reached for the device on the nightstand, picking it up groggily with his eyes still heavy with the remnants of sleep. Reluctantly, he answered, a sense of tiredness settling over him.It was barely five am in the morning. What could be the problem? Oliver had slept late as usual. He spent half the night trying to sort some files."Yes?" Oliver answered grumpily as he placed his phone against his ear. His worker's voice crackled through the phone, delivering news that turned Oliver's sleepiness into disbelief and profound shock."The company, sir, it's on fire."The words hung in the air, heavy with urgency, and for seconds, Oliver couldn't bear to believe it. "What are you talking about?" He sat up. "What are you talking about?"His worker explained they found it ablaze, offering no clarity on the cause. "The security resumed at dusk, sayin

    Gerald's head had been filled with all kinds of thoughts after he met Manuel Harper— the father he'd never known.The father he'd never had. Manuel's presence brought him peace as he knew that Manuel was capable of taking care of his mother. Asides from that, even after days had passed, Gerald hadn't been able to digest the fact that he had a father.Or that his father was someone of such affluence. It was indeed a gory scene. Anson's blood was no different from paint, sprawled across the floor that even Gerald couldn't avoid stepping on it as he walked into the building.One thing about information was how fast it lew around. Just this morning, Gerald had heard about Oliver's burning company, and he immediately knew that only Anson was capable of carrying out such reckless activity.Looking around as he walked in with a few of the men he'd begun to recruit, Gerald realized he made the right choice of trailing Oliver and his men throughout the day. He knew, deep down, that it was onl

    The news of Anson's death had hit town, revealing to Oliver that there was someone else who wanted him dead and was working in the shadows.All in all, Anson was gone now, and Oliver focused his attention on rebuilding his company as soon as possible. Anson's actions had caused him so much loss, and it was only a matter of time before other ugly activities began to rear their heads when they learned that he was in a pickle.After spending the entire day supervising the construction going on, Oliver set out to head home after Mia called. He missed her and would want to spend the rest of the evening in her arms. All the struggles seemed to pull him away from the peace only Mia could offer.Even thinking about her made him want to leave sooner. Oliver arranged his suitcase and headed out of the site . He had the entire evening to feel loved. Finally, a day without interruption.Maybe he spoke too soon. Oliver watched as a vehicle parked before him, right next to his car. It was an expens

    "Someone dropped this parcel for you, boss," Razor, one of Oliver's men, said as he made his way into the room. Razor was also a member of the shadows.Oliver lifted his head up, his eyes fixed on the parcel Razor was carrying in. It was a large envelope the size of a purse. It didn't look like it could contain anything harmful.But nothing was to be trusted. "Who dropped it?" Oliver quizzed as he took it from Razor, examining the parcel. It felt flat and woody. Whatever it contained must be a paper, perhaps a flat book."Manuel, sir," Razor responded. At the mention of Manuel's name, Oliver tore the envelope open and brought out an invitation card.He scoffed as he read it. "An invite?" Manuel was inviting Oliver to his yearly dinner party. Was this man bipolar? He thought.First, Manuel complained about Oliver's father being a traitor; now, he was trying to get close to him? There was another letter attached to the invitation, and Oliver read it.The letter was brief. Join the busin

    Protection that unearthed secrets from the first moment it started to happen. That was the case with Gerald and his mother. He hadn't spoken to her about it since he met Manuel and had been working his way to the top.But tonight. It was going to be different. The engine raged to a halt at the front of the building. It was nighttime— a moonless night that cast darkness through every corner. Gerald sighed, holding a cigarette between his lips as he leaned against the car.He'd come to see his mother, and he knew the discussion would come bursting through his containment. Gerald had been trying to sink into the fact that Manuel was his father, and his mother never mentioned it.Anger would quite describe what he felt. He wasn't mad at her for keeping the truth from him, he was just hurt. A lot of things would have played out differently if he knew the truth. And now he had to face it.That was why his keg seemed to sink into the ground as he walked into the building. Gerald didn't belie

    Amidst the reconstruction, Oliver Lionheart sat with one of the constructors on a stack of concrete blocks, the parched frame of his company rising from the ashes behind them. The man fidgeted nervously under Oliver's piercing gaze, aware of the influence he wielded and how easily a snap of Oliver's finger could turn his life into a beautiful fantasy or a nightmare.Oliver, eyes gleaming with both anger and desperation, leaned forward. "We're not just rebuilding; we're going bigger this time." He faced the man. "We'll rise stronger from the ruins," he declared, his words carrying the weight of both a command and a plea.The constructor nodded, hesitating before speaking, "Mr. Lionheart, it's risky. We've never taken on a project of this scale."Oliver's gaze softened, the intensity giving way to vulnerability. "I need this. We need this," he admitted, the desperation seeping into his voice. "I can't afford to lose more allies to Viktor's Grey."The constructor had always been one of

    As Manuel walked into his luxurious home, the weight of the day's activities still lingered in his mind. He'd left the office briefly after a meeting with his workers to spend little time at home.Manuel was aware that Oliver was looking for him, which was why he had hidden Gerald's mother in another one of his owned apartments.Just as he settled in, his phone rang, interrupting the silence of his residence. A smirk played on his lips as he answered, expecting another move in the chess game with Oliver. Manuel had been nothing short of entertained ever since the streak of threats he'd been sending began.Oliver would; Manuel Manuel was sure of it. Somehow, he'd make sure that he stood at the top. "Boss, there's a fight at the company," the voice on the other end crackled.This had to be Oliver, Manuel thought. Was this really Oliver's genius plan to draw him out? If it was, then it was going to fail woefully.A hearty laugh escaped Manuel's throat. "Oliver's trying to play me, huh?

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

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.

    "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.

    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.
