Oliver slowly parked the car in front of the cottage. He stepped down and took a look around as Mia dropped from the car.

"You grew up here?" He asked he as she raised her eyebrow.

"Why? Not Grand enough?" She asked, feeling very curious as to why he would ask that.

"No, not that. It's very calm around here. Serene. I like the environment. It's peaceful. No wonder you're the way you are, " He added and she smiled.

"Well, I guess I did not turn out too bad. So, here we go. I hope she's around, and that is if she does not throw me out first." She sighed as they walked towards the door. She knocked twice.

Oliver's eyes went to the garden. There were so many flowers that had never seen before. There were so much colours and he wanted to get some for Mia. He thought she would love the gesture. Just then, the door opened. A woman stepped outside.

"Aunt..." Mia started but the woman quickly pulled her into a hug. She squeezed so tightly that Mia struggled to breathe.

"Aunt, I can't breathe.

    "What is this?" Oliver asked Caleb."This is a vial made from Lambrose dwelling worms. These worms contains a toxin which can allow them to survive the harsh environment provided by lambrose. Now they actually dwell on the flower itself and so people just assumes that it's the flowers that do the trick." Caleb said and scoffed."I want that vial." Oliver told him but Caleb slowly hid the vial."I'm afraid that's not gonna happen sir. You see, this vial was made from the painstaking efforts of a lot of people and you know that you cannot simply take it. I paid millions of dollars to get this." Caleb stated. Mia scoffed. She knew he was lying. He did not pay anything. He just stole the vial many years ago from a source she could not pinpoint."Then how much do you want for it?" Oliver asked him calmly."Oh come on, you don't have to be like this...""How much?!" Oliver yelled at him, cutting him off. Caleb gasped at the sudden uproar. He shook his head in shock."You are so aggressive.

    "The shadows will not let you arrest their boss. Do not underestimate them, Pascal. They are powerful and fierce and they can easily take out your cops if they see fit. You need to call this off, now." Mia tried to convince Pedro but he slowly laughed. He ran his hand through his hair, a habit of his whenever he was pissed."You just told me a bunch of thugs are better trained than the esteemed cops of this city. Right now, Mia, I'm thinking that perhaps I need to take you away from here," he said to her. Mia's face was drawn into a frown. She blinked severally while her brain tried to process his words."What is that supposed to mean?" She asked him."It means you have been compromised. Your judgement has been tampered with by the terrible company you keep. This is unlike you," Pascal told her."I am a fully grown woman and I am capable of making my own decisions. You cannot take me away from here simply because you feel like doing so. I am not your property,""And I want to keep you

    "The Goldie family. I know for a fact that they have access to that type of poison. But the family are always so careful with who they share it with. Perhaps you might have annoyed them somehow?" Stefano asked Oliver. Oliver threw him on the ground and he landed with a thud "ow!" Stefano cried out."Annoyed them? I don't even know who the fuck they are. I want to meet with this family. I want to know what they have against me." Oliver told stefano who dragged himself on the ground. He sighed as he gazed at Oliver."Man, you really have your hands tied right now don't you? I mean, you're a villain in the eyes of the police, the people probably hate or fear you, you have enemies that want to see you dead and here you are working with me just to get answers. It's not roses, is it?" Stefano chuckled. Oliver slowly approached him and crunched. He smacked his lips while gazing at Stefano."The only reason why you are still alive right now is because I have use for you. I can do this job wit

    The plane slowly cruised to a halt on the runway. Although the journey, Oliver kept a poker face. Mia sat beside him calmly, watching as he breathed up and down. Stefano sat at the back of the plane beside Bill who actually held a gun at hand. Stefano scoffed at the gesture."If you're trying to be scary, you have won. Why don't you just put the gun away now?" Stefano asked Bill who just shot him a glare. Stefano puffed while flaring his hands in the air."Or not." He slowly added. "You know you are more intimidating without the gun in your hand, right?" He asked Bill again."You know you are better off with your mouth shut, right?" Bill asked him. "I'm just trying to be friendly here. Wherever I go, I make friends. It's how I have managed to survive all these time." He leaned closer to bull and whispered. "You know I can pay you better than Oliver does, right? I mean, you are like the second in commad and you are good at what you do. You could build something like the Shadows for me

    "You speak nonsense. Everyone knows the women in this clan cannot have men in their lives. I am the leader, shouldn't I uphold that law the most?" The matron asked Oliver who just smiled at her. He whispered into her ears again."Oh, but you've been a bad girl, haven't you? You have failed to uphold what you preach. You have led these women astray. What do you think will happen if I was to tell these women that their wise and fierce matron has been keeping a husband at the side of the door? How do you think they will react?" Oliver asked her."They will never believe you." The matron stated. Oliver drew away from her."Shall we put that to the test?" He asked her and smiled. They kept their eyes on each other for a moment, each studying the other to see who was the fiercest. Finally, the matron smiled."Girls, drop your weapons. They are our guests. Treat them accordingly." The matron ordered and the women slowly put down their gun. They gave the shadows fierce glares before they led

    "What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into now, Ivy? You know very well that I cannot assist you very much." The matron yelled back. She was already flustered from the stress. Her sister on the other hand was not helping matters."Sister, listen to me. Oliver Lionheart is a danger that you need to take care of. He is an extremely powerful man and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.""You're the one who poisoned him. You worked with that scumbag Viktor Grey and you put our family at risk. You have to deal with this all by yourself." Was the matrons response."Help me. Help me and I promise you, fifty percent of what I have goes to you. All you need to do is agree to take Oliver out right now and you will have a deal. Think about it sister, he already knows about your husband. How long do you think it will take before he tries to blackmail you with that secret? You stand at the risk of losing everything you have ever had worked for, everything you have. Oliver Lionhea

    Oliver stealthily moved to the side of the woods as the gunshots continued. He was careful so as to avoid detection by the women. The women placed themselves in strategic positions as they fired at the shadows, and as Oliver crept, they did not notice him at first.Oliver slowly positioned himself beside a tree. He pointed his gun and aimed for Ivana. She was busy raining down bullets on Oliver's car that she did not see hum. Then, he shot.But Ivana moved briefly, making the bullet to Pierce her shoulder instead. She screamed as blood poured out of the wound and she dragged herself on the ground before she opened fire on Oliver.Oliver hid behind a tree as the bullets ransacked the woods. He waited for his moment, using Ivana's screams and tears as a guide. She kept shooting until her gun ran out of bullets.Then Oliver began again. He kept shooting, taking out so many of the women in the process. He shot one in the head, and her blood splashed on Ivana's face. Ivana yelled while dra

    The matron paced around the room. She held a glass of wine in her hand as several thoughts raced through her head. Her sister had indeed outdone herself and she was certain she would give her stern discipline. The basis of their family was the belief that women could rule better than men and so the matron saw no reason why Ivy would do something so stupid.She walked towards the Flowers being exposed to the sunlight and sniffled them. They filled her nostrils with so much pleasure. Those particular flowers were capable of producing intoxicating effects in the nervous system and matron was, sadly, addicted to them. She sniffled them again to clear her head."What's taking them so long?" She asked herself as anxiety nearly took a toll on her. Ivana was supposed to be back by then. She did not understand why killing a man could be so difficult for them to do. Ivana was her most fierce soldier. She trusted her abilities."Matron! You have to come here now!" One of her girls screamed. The

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.
