Oblivious to the planning against his life, Richard had awoken the next morning ready to enjoy his current peace and quiet, but that plan was far-fetched as some policemen had come on Vivienne's orders to escort him to a luxurious restaurant .

When they got to their destination where Vivienne was waiting for him with a warm smile, Richard quirked his eyebrows and shook his head subtly.

“Mayor Richard, I hope you're doing well this morning and that your living arrangement is to your liking?”

In response, Richard shrugged his shoulders, just as one of the men pulled out a seat and he sat,

“What's all this? And this fuss?"

Richard questioned as he spread his arm to the array of food on the table, Vivienne's cheeks tinged a bit before she sat up to respond,

Lost in thoughts, she smiled as she glanced at Andrew and nodded, Andrew didn't fail to miss the change in her attitude, and he smirked to himself; it was obvious she was overly cordial with Richard and they weren't mere acquaintances, her attitude had given that much away, Turning to the crowd, he raised his hands and voice, “What do you say we interview all of these women and get to know what sort of dirty and sickening thing is going on here” Everyone bobbed their heads enthusiastically, as they called for the others. Sarah's brows furrowed as she glanced at them before looking at Andrew once more, who immediately nodded curtly as he responded loudly, “We would like to meet your other neighbors, we have to know those who live in our c

Imagine taking care of these people single-handedly, all of their needs!”As the man spoke, he shook his head in amazement,“Yet we were already crucifying him without hearing him out. I feel so ashamed" another female official muttered, glaring daggers into Harold and Andrew.“We believed these two fools who have practically done nothing for the people!" “It all must be out of spite and jealousy! They can't match Mayor Richard’s footsteps, so they'd rather soil his name”As the man was speaking, he was sneering at the duo, even hissing loudly to express his displeasure.

    ‘H-how’s this possible’ he mused to himself, almost crying in disbelief. He had come with the intent to maliciously slander Richard, but the fool was proving to be more of a saint than he realized.The officials, as well as Vivienne, picked the fallen book and skimmed through it, most of the officials sporting guilty looks on their faces; Vivienne's, on the other hand, was one of awe and astonishment; Richard was a rare breed.The journal detailed all of the good works Richard had done, receipts for donations he had made, charitable as well as to their personal and communal needs, Mrs Benson even had copies of letters of gratitude that the children had sent to Richard, even their aged parents, as well as a copy of the certificate of appreciate and man of the year that they had awarded Richard.

    “I apologize. There was a mix up” His apology was fake, to say the least, and everyone could smell it from a mile away.

Don't do this!”Harold and Andrew instantly snapped their head in that direction, to see that a woman held a bottle of poison in her trembling hand, the potent was dangerously close to her mouth, as she vigorously shook her head from side to side,“Let me go! Death is preferable to this inhumane treatment and accusations! At least when I die, I get to see my beloved Chester. I don't deserve thisssss!!!!" Cynthia’s cry echoed through the ground, as she once again attempted to swallow the potion. Harold's eyes went wild, his color paling as he realized they couldn't come out of this unscathed if they didn't make amends,Al

    All eyes remained on Clinton, expecting his response,Clinton smiled, his eyes gleaming as he reveled in the attention, taking a little time before revealing his thoughts. One quick glance at Cassandra and he could see she was becoming irritated,“I think we can easily create a scandal around Richard” he started, drawing their attention more as they leaned in closely,“We'll create something that will make the citizens doubt him and his integrity and question his leadership once and for all”Clinton concluded with a smirk, his tone quite malicious as his eyes still gleamed. Andrew's eyes widened while Harold's face became pale, and they both spoke at once,“The last time we tried to do something like that, it didn't work out!" “That's a dangerous suggestion, Mr Rogers!” Harold added with a slight scoff, "If we get caught, it could spell doom and can be the end of us" He added as he gaped at Clinton.

    The people's reactions had been unexpected and instant, as they had seen through Andrew's foul plan. While Andrew and the rest were hastily retreating, the crowd was still surging forward, tossing objects at them and hurling insults.Cassandra's face was a canvas of anger and fury, her entire face was reddened. She had never felt so humiliated and embarrassed before, not even when Nicholas Hunt had practically thrown them out of his restaurant after demanding their payment,“This is and was a disaster!" She muttered through gritted teeth,‘You think?!’ Andrew retorted in his mind, unable to voice his out. He shook his head in self-pity, saying nothing else.When they finally made their escape into the office, all four of them flopped onto available seats, unsuccessfully trying to dust out their clothes. The room was beginning to fill with the stench of eggs, as Clinton and Harold were unable to escape the egg attack.Harold looked pale, his facial expression quite grim as he curled hi

    All heads turned in her direction as they gaped at her. This time, Andrew was the first to react as he flew to his feet and jabbed his finger in the direction of the window,“You want me" he pointed at himself, “to face them?" he asked, his eyes almost widening as he glanced at his supposed fianceéCassandra shrugged in response,“What other option do you have?" "Sit back and wait for everything to die down, for them to decide to go home and release an official statement afterward” Andrew retorted, and Cassandra laughed loudly, her eyes devoid of any humor,"And what if they don't go home?” she countered,"Then we wait it out! They're bound to get tired someday somehow”Andrew retorted once again, running his hand through his face. Shaking her head, Cassandra walked over like a predator aiming for its prey, smiling seductively, she leaned towards his face and kissed him sensually, running her fingertip down his chest,“Don't be worried, you just have to be confident.

    Sneering at him with cold eyes, Aiden continued,“I pay you to get the job done at any cost, and right now Clinton, you're slacking!”Aiden tsked, using his tongue to wipe his teeth as he sneered at Clinton. Clinton swallowed, his gaze lowering as he nodded, chills running down his spine.For the umpteenth time, Clinton swallowed, trembling slightly,“I understand Richard. We'll do all we can to contain the situation, trust me.”Aiden spared him another glance and hissed,"I want to trust you but you aren't making it easy." He leaned into Clinton's ears as he spoke in a low tone,“Not just contain the situation, but find how Richard gets to spend the rest of his life in jail. I don't need to spell out anything for you, if you guys can't find anything on him, then maybe you should plant something worth finding!”Clinton's eyes widened but he nodded, his head churning with thoughts.

    Meanwhile, Aiden who's been celebrating the success of his subtle comeback, thanks to Clinton's help in the government house, was relaxed on his chair, with his left arm placed at the back of his head with a huge grin on his face as he scrolled his financial report of the past days, smiling hugely as he did; business was picking up and he was glad to see. As a thought flickered through his mind, his smile dipped, ‘Can’t even entertain that thought, if Richard Day comes out of jail, I'll be toast. He most definitely can't come out’ Aiden spoke in his mind, his jaw clenching as the thought passed his mind. With the thought souring his mood, he decided to ease his mind by going through his social media, his fingers scrolled through his Photogram feed, and as he began paying more attention, his eyes squinted and his brows instantly creased, “What's going on? What's this?!" He asked no one in particular loudly as his eyes shot up and he adjusted himself on his seat, sitting up straig

    The door to Andrew's office flung open as a fiery gazed Cassandra stormed into it, thrusting her phone into Andrew's face, she bellowed,“Have you seen this? Are you aware of what that bitch was planning all along? How come you aren't aware or you chose to do nothing?! We're about to watch everything we've worked for go down the drain!" As usual, Harold was also in the office and flew to his feet, his gaze darting between a fuming Cassandra and a confused Andrew, before looking at his daughter who looked like she had smoke coming out of her ears and nostrils,“Somebody say something!" Cassandra shrilled, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she glared at them; Andrew, whose brows were furrowed, glanced at her and then at the phone before rising from his chair, scraping it on the linoleum floor as he did. He walked over to Cassandra's side and tried wrapping his arms around her only for her to brush him away,Gritting his teeth subtly, he rubbed her forearm,“Calm down Cassie and

A file is being passed across to you, please look at it, as therein contains all the information you need to know, and please feel free to share it on your online space" Almost immediately, murmurings broke once more as the people began going through the shared document. The room erupted into fury and flurry of questioning and camera clicking, even as they read and fiddled with their devices,Their mouths and eyes widened as they continued reading and seeing how Richard had helped set them up, going as far as waiving their crimes.The people began glaring and sneering at the men, curling their lips at them, as they cursed at them,"You all are just a bunch of ingrates!”"You should be ashamed of yourselves! Biting the hand that fed you”"How much were you paid to slander Mayor Richard?!”“Imagine going against someone who tried to help you! Th

    Murmuring and gasps immediately filled the hall as everyone snapped their heads to look at the person who had spoken before gaping at him with widened eyes before returning their gazes to the four men on the stage, whose faces had gone so red, and were frozen on the spot, they had their chins down, unable to say anything,Vivienne smirked and tried to stoke the fire more; she glanced at the speaker and urged him to come forward.As he made his way forward, taking long strides with his shoulders held high, Bernard Cooper didn't fail to notice the hateful glare that the men threw at him, neither did he fail to hear the mumblings of those who were present,“Isn't that the deputy mayor that recently resigned?" “Yes! I'm sure that's why he spoke with such confidence and asked that question" “Of course! He must know more than he let on. He wouldn't dare say something like that if he didn't have proof or know what he's saying" The voices and murmurings trailed him as he trod towards the s
