Richard Day's Legacy Chapter 039
Clinton was left alone in the blizzard, cursing at his men's cowardice. As he looked at the sky and his surroundings, he let out a loud growl, glancing at his watch made him clench his jaw tightly, They had arrived a little over 1 pm, and now the time was past eleven in the night. He had been waiting for hours, and night had finally come, his body going numb and his spirit near giving in. Just when he thought he was going to spend the night out there, Jacob finally appeared, smirking at Clinton who clenched his jaw, the gloating expression on Jacob's face further grated Clinton's mood, “About time," he muttered through gritted teeth. His nostrils were flaring as he sneered at Jacob, but he reined his anger in. After all, he had come this far, and so he had to keep cool for the sake of his mission. Jacob nodded at him curtly, smiling unkindly, “Follow me" he instructed with a flat tone. Still gritting his teeth, Clinton numbly followed him, and as his feet stepped into the

Aiden gazed intently at Clinton, a small smirk playing on his face as he watched him; the tension in the room was palpable; he could sense Clinton's unease. Resting his back, a small smile played on his face as he pointed at the seat opposing Clinton,“Have a seat, Clinton. Feel at home”Dazed at his contradicting words, Clinton gaped at him before nodding solemnly and shuffling into the seat, folding himself as he was unable to relax. Immediately, a glass and a bottle of expensive champagne were placed before him. Aiden nodded and nudged his neck to the drink,When Clinton's eyes fell on the bottle, they nearly popped out of their sockets. His gaze darted between the bottle and back at Aiden, swallowing hard as he did. Aiden nodded as he spread his arms wide,“It's for you. On the house. It's a small gesture of our hospitality" he added with a smirk, his eyes glinting as he watched Clinton like a hawk.Clinton gulped and said nothing, but he couldn't help himself as he took a sip of

“Be at peace. I don't need you carrying guns or doing anything illegal” Aiden informed with amusement,Clinton narrowed his eyes at him in confusion, tilting his head he leaned forward,“W-what do you w-want from me?” Clinton gulped “W-what do you want me to do?” Clinton asked, his voice a little low,“You’ll provide me with cover for my operations, you'll be my inside eyes and informant, protecting my people and my interests,” Aiden said in a finality tone, he watched Clinton keenly as he nodded absently, smirking he added,“Heck, I'll even throw in a sweet deal for you." Clinton's brows arched and Aiden leaned forward, his eyes glinting,"To set things rolling, I'll throw in two of my men who were involved in the mayhem; we'll call them scapegoats. They and their families will be settled, while you'll also be settled, not only that, but you get to prove yourself to your superiors, earn accolades, and savor victory”Smiling, Aiden crossed his arms, raising his eyebrows at Clinton wit

They had made sure to gather every media personnel to announce Andrew Morris as the new mayor and Clinton Rogers as his deputy, The whole place was buzzing with the media and citizens of Dalton City as they held the conference right in front of the mayoral house. Harold, with his shoulders back, walking with wide steps, stepped, towards the podium that was lined with different microphones from different media houses. He was sporting a huge smile while Andrew and Clinton flanked beside his right and left, respectively, although they stood a few feet behind where he stood. Tapping the microphone while smiling, he cleared his throat and spread his arms broadly, “Ladies and gentlemen of the press and our great citizens. Thank you for joining us here today.” Everyo

That same day, back at Richard's holding cell, while the press conference had been ongoing, he was relaxed in his cell, casually watching it with eagle's eyes and a small smile on his face; he shook his head sadly at the fickleness of men.Vivienne who had heard of the meeting at the last minute and couldn't be there live, hurriedly made her way to Richard's cell, her face glistening with sweat. She immediately paused in her steps, her heart skipping a beat as she found Richard casually lying on his bed, watching the news with an impassive expression,‘Why does he look unbothered? What kind of person is he?’ she wondered to herself, before exhaling gently, rubbing her palms over her crisp skirt, and then knocked on the door,“Mayor Sir" she bowed slightly, and at Richard's nod, she walked into the cell,“I see you have seen the new development" Richard nodded as he smiled at her, sitting upright he turned to look at her, indicating at her to sit on one of the empty seats,“Yes, I hav

"C-Clinton? The newly announced deputy mayor?”Richard nodded again,“Why do you think he's involved though? He's never been in the frontier of government”"That's exactly one reason, a thirst for power. Besides, Clinton isn't that smart enough to solve that level of crime by himself and at that quick rate”Vivienne exhaled and ran her hand through her hair as she paced. Richard's absence was beginning to cause a lot of complications and raise situations she wasn't sure she could handle. Her mind was racing and reeling; she and others had raised eyebrows at Clinton's sudden promotion, but she could never have placed him and Aiden together or that Aiden would dare rear his ugly crimes anymore. Her shoulders sagged as she sighed before she raised her chest,“I’ll get on it right away Richard. I'm also working to make sure you're out of here soon”Richard's expression immediately turned dark as he narrowed his eyes and replied gravely,“I'm not sure that's necessary. I don't think I'm re

A few days later, Clinton was still in his celebratory mood of being the new Deputy Mayor when he received a message from Aiden, [Meet me at the Boil Point Hotel Car Park in twenty minutes] As he read the message, his eyebrows furrowed, but Clinton didn't have any choice, so grudgingly, he headed to the location. He met Aiden in the car park, seated in his G-wagon, Aiden was all smiles and pleasant as he received him, “The new Deputy Mayor. Welcome, it's good to see you, the title does fit you" Aiden greeted him cheerfully, and Clinton couldn't help the pink tinges that crept on his cheeks. Aiden was surprisingly warm and welcoming, thanking him for his loyalty as he also promised him a bright future, “Clinton my man. You've done well; you ought to be proud," he said haughtily as he winked at Clinton. Clearing his throat, Aiden reached to the back seat of his car and placed the file on his lap, looking over at Clinton, his smiling face had suddenly turned serious, “No

That same day, Andrew was resting in his hotel room, sipping on a glass of fine red wine as he stood by the window overlooking the city with a smug smile on his face,This was the life he dreamt of, and he was currently living it, he felt on top of the world, like a king. Richard was sitting pretty in jail, and they were still gathering evidence against him. He was now in control and had the power and influence to do whatever he wanted to do, yet he wanted more,Andrew smiled smugly, his eyes glistening as he imagined how Richard was languishing in prison while he was here enjoying all the privileges that came with his vacant position, and he was definitely milking it to his satisfaction,“Cheers to you Richard Day, enjoy your new home, while I enjoy my new life" Andrew said, lifting his glass to the sky with a smile before returning it to his lips. While they had been raising funds for the women at Avalon Heights, he had managed to siphon some money for himself.Just as he was about

When no one replied to him immediately, General James clenched his jaw, his neck corded as he cracked it from side to side before jabbing his finger at Cassandra,“I.hate.to.repeat.myself! What did you just say?" Cassandra cleared her throat and looked away, forcing Andrew who was already livid to answer through gritted teeth,“Richard Day has been put away on the charge of bribery and extortion, and most recently murders of war soldiers and citizens" A few people nodded in agreement as they managed to stare at James, whose brows were creased. Surprisingly, he folded himself and belted out a loud laugh which caused everyone to gape at him and then at themselves, wondering if the general was all right.Still doubled over in laughter, General James clutched at his belly, as it was deep in laughter. The information they had given him was the most ludicrous thing he had heard all year: Richard, a murderer and opportunist?The thought alone was ridiculous, and so he snorted while laughin

Walking towards the office with head held high and shoulders high, General James took wide steps as he walked; the citizens who had gathered to see what was going on parted to let him through as they watched him with lowered gazes, their eyes twinkling as they saw him move gracefully. They had never seen anyone like him before and they didn't know what to make of him.General James stood in front of the mayoral office, awaiting for his presence to be recognized, staring intently at the door he glanced at his watch before returning his gaze to the door,The door finally flung open, and a flustered and dazzled-looking Andrew stepped out, with his cheeks flushed, he bowed slightly while greeting the General,“General Sir. You're welcome to Dalton City, we're delighted to have you grace our presence" Squinting his eyes a little at him, General James quirked his brow at him, before asking with curled lips, tilting his head slightly to observe Andrew who was shivering slightly from the int

Aiden hung up the call, a sinister smile on his face as he dropped the phone, a part of him loved and enjoyed the fact that he was part of the plan to bring Richard down, and it was well deserving, as Richard had clipped his wings,The other part of him was slightly terrified, the fear of what Richard could do to him if he ever found out niggled on his mind, but Aiden swallowed and shuddered, ridding his mind of any unwanted thoughts.He immediately got to work, putting his plans into action, with Aiden wasting no time in the attack of Richard's persona.Aiden made calls to his contacts who were to spread the news, he knew just who to contact to spread the misinformation,Smiling to himself, he rubbed his palms together as his eyes twinkled,“Let's drag your honorable name through the mud" he mused to himself, smiling slyly.He planted a few people in one of his bars, as well as in two popular salons that he was sure would greatly spread the fake news, paying them handsomely.The huge

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. He didn't think the man could think of such dark thoughts.Where the other two men

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. Aiden smiled sinisterly as he tapped Clinton’s shoulder and went to take his seat,Aiden wasn't ready to

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
