"An assassination bank? What do you mean?" Mia asked the editor and he smiled. She was obviously not in the mood to entertain whatever silly ideas that he was about to share "I used to love that face. I can't even remember how many nights I'd wake up just to see you working on a case. You would be so focused that you would not even see that I am awake. Those were great times, mia." The editor said to her and she sighed."But they did not last." She stated "They did not last because you did not allow it. I was willing for us to build a life together. I did everything I could for you. I guided you through the early days of your career. What more do you want?" He asked her and frowned. "This happened a very long time ago. It's way behind us now and if you want to be stuck in the past, then the pleasure is all yours. But do not drag me into your mess. I will not take it." She stated."Mess? Mia you broke up with me. You ruined my career by that heartbreak. I was fired because I could n
"What do you want to talk about?" Oliver asked sharply over the phone. He sighed and wiped his brow immediately. The air around him had changed and he played with the phone before he listened again."Sorry. I have been so stressed lately." He told her."I can see that. So stressed that you had to shut even your own girlfriend out?" Vera asked Oliver who arched a brow over the phone."You saw Mia?" "Yes, I did. And brother, she is not happy. You went MIA on her and now she is devasted. You should call her soon to put her mind at ease." Vera advised."I pushed her away because right now, Everything is a mess. I do not want her getting entangled in them. The world is a messy place, Vera. We both know that. Isn't it best to protect our loved ones from such a mess if we have the power?" Oliver asked."It is, but at the same time, also consider the fact that they might not want to be apart from you even when things are though. They might want to b around you. Do not push them away." She to
"Should we crush her here and now?" Gerald asked Rebecca as they trailed Mia on the streets. The lights flickered everywhere while they drove, and Rebecca could not deny that the cool evening breeze was making her less stressed."We should not waste time following trash like her. We have to stay on course. We have a job to do." Rebecca said to Gerald who frowned in confusion."What are you saying?" He asked her."I'm saying that you should turn around. It's time for us to go back." She added. "But why go back when we can destroy her here? Didn't you say that she was some sort of barrier to the plan?" He asked her and she frowned."Yes, but right now, she has no use to us dead. We will deal with her later. But for now, we have to watch Oliver's moves and make sure that he does not do anything funny. He has already sent the invitations to us. There has to be a reason." Rebecca said and Gerald nodded."He could have easily ignored us. I suspect that he has an ulterior motive. If he didn
Serveral dignitaries troped into the large hall that Oliver had built specifically for his party. The hall was gigantic, and stood at the centre of an open space in St Lambert's City. There were several lightnings and all seemed to flicker and reflect the greed and dirt of the people inside the room.But what actually caused the whispers was that even in the hall, dressed beautifully as well, were several homeless people. They ran around eating as much as they could and that made the rich folks stare at the in disgust. None of them offered to help some of the homeless establish a better future. They all glared at them like vermin."Are you still with us on this?" Stefano asked Gerald as they drank from the expensive red wine that was in their hands. The wine tasted very nice."What do you mean If I'm still with you? I have been with you from the very beginning. Why would I back down now?" Gerald retorted. He did not like Stefano's tone."I'm sorry, Gerald. I just wanted to confirm. Pl
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Do you want to ruin my party?" Oliver barked at Gerald. The eyes of spectators were already on them, and Gerald could feel how small he was compared to Oliver. He tried to measure the worth of Oliver's outfit and he soon figured out that it was one of a kind.The suit was handmade, and it had perfect embroidery. The shoes were handmade and the leather used were from the rarest leather. It would take several hours of painstaking expertise to get it done. "She was trying to run her mouth. I had to put her in her place." Gerald said to Oliver as Oliver let go of his arm forcefully. Gerald groaned as Oliver did, and he could barely see through the mask that covered Oliver's face."It is not in your power or your place to correct my guests. If you have any issue with them, report it to me and I will handle it. Need I remind you that you are also a guest here. Do not make me fling you out." Oliver threatened. Gerald just nodded and backed down."Ar
"A toast to the wonderful things that we will be building together. A toast to rhe many great things yet to come. I know that a lot of you are here, and you want to ruin this plan. I know that some of you are not really happy. But the thing is you cannot do anything about it. It's time for a new era, so you're either in or out." Oliver said and slowly raised his glass up. He smiled as he gazed at the faces in the room."Raise your glasses if you would like to be a part of this innovation. It's your choice and you are absolutely free to do whatever you want." He said and kept gazing. Slowly, the people in the room raised their glasses. They knew that they still needed Oliver more than anything. They knew that they were at his Mercy, and so when he asked, they quickly raised them."Raise your cup." Viktor said to Elina as he slowly raised his up."But you said not to drink." She said to him."Raising the cup is not the same as drinking from it!" Viktor Grey snapped at her."Fine!" She
"What is going on?" Rebecca asked no one in particular. She quickly dropped the glass that was in her hand as more people retched. She quickly looked around, but Viktor Grey was no longer there, and so was that bitch daughter of his."Fuck! He set me up!" She gasped as she staggered back. She crashed into someone and turned to look. It was Gerald. He was as confused as she was. Suddenly, Rebecca felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She groaned as she fell. The pain continued to build as she screamed. The entire room was filled with screams."Did you know about this?" She yelled a Gerald who just froze with his own cup. First, Oliver had ruined his plan and now this? He did not know what to think anymore."Fuck!" Oh no! What the hell is happening?" He staggered back, and suddenly, his own cup fell from his hand. "No no no!" He yelled as he crashed to the ground, groaning. Rebecca was already retching and Gerald gazed in terror.Oliver froze as he watched his guests like their guts out. H
"What?!" Viktor Grey yelled. The man on the other side of the phone did not respond as Viktor drove into a fit of anger. At the side of the room, Elina watched her father carefully. She was actually curious to know what was wrong."What happened?" Viktor Grey asked the man. The man seemed to be hiding from something as he whispered his words."I managed to run outside just before Oliver shut the door. Your plan actually worked sir, but Oliver Lionheart shattered it. He managed to come up with a plan that saved everyone's life. I do not know how he managed to do it. It was like a miracle!" The man said and Viktor Grey groaned. He punched the table and shattered it immediately. Elina jumped at the act."Father!" She called out, startled beyond words. Viktor Grey tried to maintain his cool but he was seriously losing the battle. He watched as his fist bled from the wound."What are we going to do now, sir? He has ruined our plans. How are we going to get back at him?" The man asked."You
