(Oliver's Dreams 1)"Did you see the new heir of Lionheart Group? He's so ominous. He gave me chills when he walked past me. I literally couldn't breathe." One of the staff of Lionheart Inc said to the other lady standing beside her, who quickly hushed so that the former could reduce her voice."Shh. Don't speak out so loud. He might hear you. His name is Oliver LIONHEART isn't it? Everyone's talking about him. Isn't he supposed to be dead?" The second lady asked the question in a whisper."I know right? And what's with the mask? Doesn't he want us to know who he is?""I don't know. But as long as he remains behind that mask, we will never truly know what kind of a man he is. And that is scary. Oh my, things are about to change, aren't they?" The second lady quivered."They are, and for all I hold dear, I just hope it's a good change..."The first lady said as they shuddered, and the car horns across the street continued as their voices trailed off. A wind of change was about to blo
Further into the non-existent dream, Oliver wandered. He has had too much to drink. Now, he was soaring in space..(Oliver's Dreams: 2)The car took a turn and that was when Dorian saw that they were approaching The Grandeur Hotel, one of the best and biggest hotel in the city. The Grandeur was especially made for the rich, and it's exclusiveness made it reserved for the top people in the city alone.They drove inside, and Dorian could not hide his awe. The Grandeur was far bigger than what he had expected. The side of the building made it seem like there was an entire town residing in it. There were talk and powerful pillars Holding the building in place, a beautiful waterfall by the side and artistic green grasses that shone as the lightening reflected on them.Dorian thought that he was in paradise.As soon as the car parked, butlers quickly approached them and opened the door for Dorian and Maria. Dorian still kept gazing, and that made Maria look at him with intrigue."Do you lik
Oliver woke up with a terrible headache. The events of the dreams he had was making him terribly nauseous. They were all from his past. He had no reason to even remember them anymore. But there he was, still going back and front.Oliver stopped as soon as he got out of the bed and checked his notifications. He was surprised to see Mia's text. Oliver opened the phone and checked the text.she had been fired!How dare her boss fire her? Oliver fumed in anger. He picked up his phone and dialed a number."Hello? Who is this? the man on the other end of the phone said to him."This is Oliver Lionheart speaking. Do you know who I am?" Oliver asked and he felt the man chicken out on the other side of the phone"S-sir? Why are you calling me? I do not deserve to receive a phone call from someone like you." Mia's boss shuddered. Oliver sighed."You fired someone you were not supposed to fire. I keep tabs on your company, and now, you no longer work there. As we speak, I have paid four hundred m
Oliver paced around the room. He tried to focus as the clock on the wall kept ticking but he was losing his mind even more. How was it possible? It couldn't be! Perhaps fate was playing a trick on him!"She can't possibly be his daughter. How's that possible?" He questioned himself. Oliver Walked towards a sofa and sat down inside the majestic living room. The white walls adorned with several paintings made it all seem like there was some angel standing guard.He sighed as he tried to maintain his composure. He could not be freaking out over Viktor. Oliver suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He took it out and picked up the call."What do you have for me?" He asked."Apparently sir, there is not enough evidence to suggest that Viktor Grey is Mia's biological Father. Her real father was Viktor's driver when she was younger and he died in an accident. Her mother left the city afterwards. She died later on as well. Mia was then raised by her aunt." A female voice over the phone
Viktor Grey looked out the window as the car drove through the streets of St Patrick's City. It was a rather sunny day, and Perhaps, that contributed to the heat he was feeling inside. He could not believe the brat's claim. He made sure he cleaned up his tracks after the incident. There wasn't supposed to be any loose ends!"Take me to the 4th Streets." Viktor instructed the driver. The driver shuddered when he heard the words."Just to confirm sir, do you mean that I should take you to the 4th Street?" The driver asked. Viktor frowned."Did I bark earlier?" Viktor asked, but the driver was not sure."Sir, we both know that the 4th Street is full of nobodies and touts. Who knows what will happen to you there. Should I call security to escort you?" The driver asked."You do not need to do so. But there's something you can do and that is to obey my command and do your fucking job! Now drive!" Viktor yelled and the driver swallowed. He did not want to push further. He knew that further a
"What did you just say?" Mia flustered as Rebecca smirked as she mentioned the words. A wave of desperation and terror came upon her as she looked closer at the lady standing before her. Rebecca sort of looked like her. What was going on?"Surprise, sister. Take a closer look at me. Do not tell me that you do not see the resemblance. We might not be identical but it's there. You have been enjoying your life until now, leaving me alone to rot in the shadows. But do not worry, I am here now and I am not leaving your life, not for any reason." Rebecca mentioned and smiled. Mia took a step back in shock. There was no way she would believe what the crazy lady was saying."You need help. You are lying. None of what you're saying is true. I do not believe a word that just came out of your mouth, and you had better give me back my phone before I do something that both of us will regret." Mia frowned. She had had enough of the crazy games. "Don't tell me that you are still oblivious of what l
Rebecca gasped as the knife struck the ground instead of her. The large was was on top of her, and in the next moment, he pushed the knife towards her heart again. Rebecca managed to slow him down, but the knife pierced her arm instead. She screamed while the man groaned in frustration."Help! Please! Somebody help me!" Rebecca screamed, but there was no know to come to her rescue. The man grabbed her neck and tried strangling her. She fought with all she had but she was not strong enough. The man raised the knife again, and when he was about taking the finishing blow, a gunshot rang in the air."Ahhh!" The man screamed as the knife dropped from his hand. A bullet hole was in his and his blood splashed all over Rebecca's outfit. She felt nauseous at the sight of so many blood, and as the man quickly jumped up, the rolled to the side.Oliver pointed the gun at the man and gave him a dear stare. The man whimpered, while taking quick steps back. Rebecca looked at Oliver with so much warm
"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.
